Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic stir-frying device for traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a support frame 1, a stir-frying cylinder 2, and a fixing assembly. The stir-frying cylinder 2 is fixed to the support frame 1 by the fixing assembly. One end of the stir-frying cylinder 2 is a feeding inlet 3, and the other end is a discharging outlet 4. The feeding inlet 3 is provided with a feeding end cover 5, which is hinged to the feeding inlet 3 and seals the feeding inlet 3. The discharging outlet 4 is provided with a discharging assembly, which includes a discharging end cover 6, a motor 7, and a telescopic mechanism. The motor 7 is fixed to the discharge end cover 6. The discharge end cover 6 is sealed to the discharge port 4 through the drive assembly. The drive assembly includes at least two drive units. Each drive unit includes a drive cylinder 9, a fixing block 10 and bolts 11. The cylinder body of the drive cylinder 9 is fixed to the stir-frying cylinder 2. The extended end of the drive cylinder 9 is fixed to the fixing block 10. The fixing block 10 is fixedly set on the outer ring of the discharge end cover 6. The discharge end cover 6 and the stir-frying cylinder 2 are detachably connected by bolts 11.

[0018] The fixed assembly includes a left cylinder 12 and a right cylinder 13. The cylinder bodies of the left cylinder 12 and the right cylinder 13 are both fixed to the support frame 1. The extended ends of the left cylinder 12 and the right cylinder 13 are each hinged to the top of the stir-frying cylinder 2 through a connecting rod 14. The extended ends of the left cylinder 12 and the right cylinder 13 are respectively hinged to their corresponding connecting rods 14. The extended end of the left cylinder 12 is located near the feed inlet 3, and the extended end of the right cylinder 13 is located near the discharge outlet 4.

[0019] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the stir-frying drum 2 includes a heating unit and a stirring unit. The heating unit includes a heating layer 15 and a heat insulation layer 16, with the heat insulation layer 16 arranged around the outer ring of the heating layer 15. The stirring unit includes a stirring shaft 17, stirring blades 18, and a fixing frame 19. The stirring shaft 17 is located at the center of the stir-frying drum 2. Each end of the stirring shaft 17 is fixed to the stir-frying drum 2 by a fixing frame 19. The stirring shaft 17 and the fixing frame 19 are connected by a bearing. The stirring blades 18 are evenly arranged around the stirring shaft 17. One end of the telescopic rod of the discharge assembly is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 7, and the end of the stirring shaft 17 near the discharge port 4 is keyed to the other end of the telescopic rod.

[0020] The drive units are evenly distributed around the central axis of the stirring drum 2. For example... Figure 1 The diagram shows the use of two sets of drive units, one above the other.

[0021] Preferably, the heating layer 15 is heated by an electric heating rod or an electric heating wire.

[0022] Preferably, the fixing bracket 19 is X-shaped. The X-shaped fixing bracket serves as a support for the stirring shaft 17, and there is one at each end of the stirring shaft 17, so that the stirring shaft 17 can be fixed in the stir-frying drum 2. At the same time, the stirring shaft 17 and the fixing bracket 19 are connected by bearings, so that the rotation of the stirring shaft 17 will not affect the fixing bracket 19 in the stir-frying drum 2.

[0023] To secure the support frame 1, a base 8 is also included, and the support frame 1 is fixed on the base 8.

[0024] To facilitate opening or closing the feed end cover 5, a handle 20 is provided on the feed end cover 5.

[0025] This utility model discloses an automatic stir-frying device for traditional Chinese medicine. With the discharge end cover 6 closed, the inlet end cover 5 of the inlet 3 is hinged for easy opening. The traditional Chinese medicine to be stir-fried is placed in, and the inlet end cover 5 is sealed to the inlet 3. This sealing can be achieved by installing sealing rings on the inlet end cover 5 and at the inlet 3. At this time, both the inlet end cover 5 and the discharge end cover 6 are sealed and closed. The motor 7 is started. The output end of the motor 7 is keyed to the stirring shaft 17 via a telescopic rod. When the motor 7 rotates, the stirring shaft 17 also rotates, which in turn drives the stirring blades 18 to rotate, thus stir-frying the traditional Chinese medicine in the stir-frying drum 2. Simultaneously, the heating layer 15 heats the traditional Chinese medicine in the stir-frying drum 2, achieving the effect of stir-frying the traditional Chinese medicine.

[0026] When the discharge end cover 6 is closed, i.e., when it is sealed and closed over the discharge port 4, the discharge end cover 6 is brought close to the discharge port 4 by retracting the extended end of the drive cylinder 9. This sealing can be achieved by installing sealing rings on the discharge end cover 6 and at the discharge port 4. After the discharge end cover 6 is closed over the discharge port 4, the bolts 11 are manually tightened to reliably fix the discharge end cover 6 to the discharge port 4 mechanically, without requiring continuous tightening of the drive cylinder 9 to achieve a seal. After stir-frying, the bolts 11 connecting the discharge end cover 6 to the stir-frying cylinder 2 are removed, and the extended end of the drive cylinder 9 is activated to extend, causing the discharge end cover 6, along with the motor 7 and the telescopic rod, to move away from the stir-frying cylinder 2. In fact, the telescopic rod contains a spring. When the discharge end cover 6 is sealed closed with the discharge port 4, the spring inside the telescopic rod is in a compressed state. When the discharge end cover 6 is opened, the telescopic rod can extend due to the restoring force of the spring, ensuring that the end of the telescopic rod can always be keyed to the end of the stirring shaft 17. After the discharge end cover 6 is opened, material can be discharged through the gap between the discharge end cover 6 and the discharge port 4. The size of the gap can be controlled by controlling the extension length of the extension end of the drive cylinder 9. Therefore, the discharge end cover 6 of this invention can achieve mechanized control, saving time and effort.

[0027] Furthermore, this utility model includes a left cylinder 12 and a right cylinder 13 on the support frame 1. These cylinders, connected to the stirring drum 2 via a connecting rod 14, allow for adjustment of the vertical height of the inlet and outlet ends of the stirring drum 2. This enables the stirring drum 2 to be tilted as needed, facilitating feeding and unloading. During unloading, the stirring drum 2 is tilted as follows: Figure 1 The position of the discharge port 4 makes it easier for the medicinal materials inside the stir-frying drum 2 to fall out under the influence of gravity. Simultaneously, the extension and retraction of the left cylinder 12 and right cylinder 13 can be controlled during stir-frying, causing the stir-frying drum 2 to oscillate, thereby improving the stir-frying effect. The initial state of feeding can also be that the stir-frying drum 2 is horizontal or tilted to meet different usage requirements.

[0028] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
