Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine equipment, and more specifically to a device for treating traditional Chinese medicine residue. Background Technology

[0002] After the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine is completed, the dregs produced during the decoction process are usually discarded directly. Although this method of disposal is simple and direct, it is not recommended to discard them directly because the dregs contain the roots and stems of various plants and are rich in nutrients. After fermentation, they can be used as a cultivation substrate for plants. However, the dregs need to be fermented before they can be used as a cultivation substrate for plants. The current practice is to pile them up and let them ferment naturally. This fermentation method is slow, and the dregs are easily depleted of nutrients by wind and sun exposure.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a device for treating Chinese medicinal herb residue that can overcome the above-mentioned problems is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a device for treating Chinese medicinal herb residue.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A device for treating Chinese medicinal herb residue includes:

[0007] A frame, on which a feeding hopper is fixed, the large-diameter end of the feeding hopper being located above its small-diameter end, and yeast and chopped straw can be added to the feeding hopper;

[0008] A traditional Chinese medicine residue dewatering assembly includes a drum and a drive motor. The drum is rotatably mounted on a feeding hopper, and its axis is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The upper end of the drum is the inlet end, located outside the feeding hopper, and the lower end is the outlet end, located inside the feeding hopper. Traditional Chinese medicine residue can be added to the drum. Multiple permeable holes are provided on the side wall of the drum, all located outside the feeding hopper. The diameter of the permeable holes is smaller than the minimum particle size of the traditional Chinese medicine residue. The drive motor is fixed to the feeding hopper and is connected to the drum via a transmission mechanism.

[0009] The mixing assembly includes a second roller, a cover plate, and a second drive motor. The second roller is horizontally rotatable and supported on the frame. The second roller is located below the feeding hopper. The side wall of the second roller has an inlet and outlet, which are vertically aligned with and connected to the small-diameter end of the feeding hopper. The cover plate is detachably sealed at the inlet and outlet. The second drive motor is fixed on the frame, and the output shaft of the second drive motor is coaxially fixed to one end of the second roller.

[0010] The fermentation tank is arranged vertically and has an open top. The fermentation tank can be located below the second roller and can be directly opposite and connected to the inlet and outlet. The mixture of yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue can be contained in the fermentation tank.

[0011] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a Chinese herbal medicine residue treatment device. This utility model, through the design of a Chinese herbal medicine residue dewatering component, allows the Chinese herbal medicine residue to roll within a first drum before entering the second drum. The side wall of the first drum has permeable holes, allowing most of the water in the residue to flow out through these holes, thus ensuring that the residue entering the second drum does not contain a large amount of water. Furthermore, by designing a feeding hopper, the first drum is connected to the inside of the feeding hopper, allowing the residue in the first drum to enter the feeding hopper. On the other hand, yeast and chopped straw can also be added from the feeding hopper. Yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue can all enter the second drum, and as the second drum rotates, the yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue can be fully mixed. After the mixture of yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue is mixed in the second drum, it can fall into the fermentation tank. Because the yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue are mixed together, the chopped straw has a certain degree of air permeability, and the yeast can increase the fermentation speed. After fermentation, the mixture of yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue can produce a plant culture medium with high nutrients and good air permeability.

[0012] Preferably, the herbal residue dewatering assembly further includes a connector, a support frame, a support member, and rollers. The side wall of the feeding hopper has an opening and the first roller is coaxially inserted therein. The lower end of the first roller is fixed to the connector. The output shaft of the first drive motor is fixed to the connector, and the output shaft of the first drive motor is coaxially arranged with the roller. The support frame is fixed in the feeding hopper, and the first drive motor is fixed to the support frame. The support member is fixed to the feeding hopper, and two rollers are rotatably supported on the support member. The axis of the two rollers is parallel to the axis of the first roller, and the outer walls of the two rollers simultaneously roll against the outer wall of the first roller. The axis of the first roller is located between the two rollers. The first drive motor can reliably drive the first roller to rotate.

[0013] Preferably, the herbal residue draining assembly further includes a water-retaining ring, which is coaxially fixed to the outer side of the roller. Multiple water-permeable holes are located between the water-retaining ring and the roller. A water-collecting trough is integrally formed on the outer side of the feeding hopper. The centerline of the water-collecting trough along its length and the axis of the roller define a vertical plane. The water-collecting trough is located directly below the roller, and its width is greater than the outer diameter of the roller. The upper ends of the water-retaining ring and the roller are both located inside the water-collecting trough, and the support member is located inside the water-collecting trough. Water flowing out from the water-permeable holes will not flow into the feeding hopper along the outer wall of the roller.

[0014] Preferably, along the axial length of the second roller, the inner wall of the second roller is sequentially divided into a frustum-shaped section one, a cylindrical section, and a frustum-shaped section two. The small-diameter ends of the first and second frustum-shaped sections are respectively arranged near both ends of the second roller, and the inlet and outlet are directly opposite the cylindrical section. The mixture in the second roller can be smoothly removed from the inlet and outlet and fall into the fermentation tank.

[0015] Preferably, the lower end of the frame is equipped with multiple casters evenly distributed throughout. The frame can move flexibly.

[0016] Preferably, the open end of the fermentation tank can be fitted with a lid. This prevents rainwater from entering the fermentation tank and also serves to keep it warm.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes an arc-shaped cover, which is fixed inside the feeding hopper and positioned directly above the drive motor. This prevents the yeast and chopped straw from directly contacting the drive motor. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] This utility model discloses a Chinese herbal medicine residue treatment device. By designing a Chinese herbal medicine residue draining component, the Chinese herbal medicine residue will roll in a first roller 03 before entering the second roller 10. The side wall of the first roller 03 is provided with water permeable holes 030. Most of the water in the Chinese herbal medicine residue will flow out of the first roller 03 through the water permeable holes 030, thereby ensuring that the Chinese herbal medicine residue entering the second roller 10 does not contain a large amount of water.

[0029] By designing the feeding hopper 02, on the one hand, the drum 1 03 is connected to the inside of the feeding hopper 02, and the Chinese medicine residue in the drum 1 03 can enter the feeding hopper 02. On the other hand, yeast and chopped straw can also be added from the feeding hopper 02. The yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue can all enter the drum 2 10, and as the drum 2 10 rotates, the yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue can be fully mixed.

[0030] After the mixture of yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue is mixed in drum 10, it falls into fermentation tank 13. Because the yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue are mixed together, the chopped straw has a certain degree of air permeability, the yeast can increase the fermentation speed, and the mixture of yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue can obtain a plant culture medium with high nutrients and good air permeability after fermentation.

[0031] By designing casters 14, the frame 01 can move flexibly;

[0032] The drive unit 04 can reliably drive the drum 03 to rotate. The drum 03 is arranged at an angle, and the Chinese medicine residue in the drum 03 can smoothly enter the feeding hopper 02.

[0033] Example

[0034] See appendix Figure 1-6 This is a schematic diagram of the overall and partial structure of one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the present invention discloses a device for treating Chinese medicinal herb residue, comprising:

[0035] The machine frame 01 has a feeding hopper 02 fixed on it. The large diameter end of the feeding hopper 02 is located above its small diameter end. Yeast and chopped straw can be added to the feeding hopper 02. The maximum particle size of the chopped straw is smaller than the inner diameter of the small diameter end of the feeding hopper 02.

[0036] The herbal medicine residue dewatering assembly includes a drum 03 and a drive motor 04. The drum 03, with a circular cross-section, is rotatably mounted on a feeding hopper 02. The axis of the drum 03 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The upper end of the drum 03 is the inlet end, located outside the feeding hopper 02, and the lower end is the outlet end, located inside the feeding hopper 02. Herbal medicine residue can be added to the drum 03. Multiple permeable holes 030 are provided on the side wall of the drum 03, all located outside the feeding hopper 02, allowing water to pass through. The aperture of hole 030 is smaller than the minimum particle size of the Chinese herbal medicine residue; the drive motor 04 is fixed on the feeding hopper 02 and is connected to the drum 03 for transmission; the operator can add the Chinese herbal medicine residue from the top of the drum 03, and the drive motor 04 drives the drum 03 to rotate. Since the axis of the drum 03 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, the Chinese herbal medicine residue in the drum 03 will also tumble in the drum 03 as it moves down. The water in the Chinese herbal medicine residue will flow out through the water-permeable hole 030, thereby ensuring that the moisture content of the Chinese herbal medicine residue entering the feeding hopper 02 is low.

[0037] The mixing assembly includes a second drum 10, a cover plate 11, and a second drive motor 12. The second drum 10 is horizontally rotatable and supported on the frame 01. The second drum 10 is located below the feeding hopper 02. A rectangular inlet and outlet 100 is opened on the side wall of the second drum 10. The inlet and outlet 100 is vertically aligned with and connected to the small-diameter end of the feeding hopper 02. That is, the small-diameter end of the feeding hopper 02 is located inside the area defined by the inlet and outlet 100, ensuring that all yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue removed from the small-diameter end of the feeding hopper 02 enter the second drum 10. The inlet and outlet 100 is detachably sealed with a cover plate 11. The second drive motor 12 is fixed on the frame 01. The output shaft of the second drive motor 12 is coaxially fixed with one end of the second drum 10. The second drive motor 12 can drive the second drum 10 to rotate, and the yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue can be fully mixed in the second drum 10.

[0038] Fermentation tank 13 is arranged vertically with an open top. Fermentation tank 13 can be located below roller 2 10. Fermentation tank 13 can be directly opposite and connected to the inlet / outlet 100. The inlet / outlet 100 can be located within the area enclosed by the open end of fermentation tank 13. The mixture of yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue can reliably fall into fermentation tank 13 after being removed from inlet / outlet 100.

[0039] More specifically, the herbal medicine residue dewatering assembly also includes connector 05, support frame 06, support component 07, and roller 08.

[0040] The side wall of the feeding hopper 02 has an opening and a roller 03 is coaxially inserted therein. A connector 05 is fixed to the lower end of the roller 03. The output shaft of the drive motor 04 is fixed to the connector 05. The output shaft of the drive motor 04 is coaxially arranged with the roller 03. There is a sufficient clearance between the connector 05 and the inner side wall of the roller 03. This clearance ensures that the Chinese medicine residue in the roller 03 can be smoothly moved out from the lower end of the roller 03.

[0041] A support frame 06 is fixed in the feeding hopper 02, and a drive motor 04 is fixed on the support frame 06. The drive motor 04 can be reliably fixedly connected to the feeding hopper 02.

[0042] The support member 07 is fixed to the feeding hopper 02. Two rollers 08 are rotatably supported on the support member 07. The axis of the two rollers 08 is parallel to the axis of the roller 03. The outer walls of the two rollers 08 roll against the outer wall of the roller 03. The axis of the roller 03 is located between the two rollers 08. The drive motor 04 can drive the roller 03 to rotate stably.

[0043] More specifically, the Chinese herbal medicine residue dewatering component also includes a water-blocking ring 09, which is coaxially fixed to the outside of the drum 03. Multiple water-permeable holes 030 are located between the water-blocking ring 09 and the roller 08. The water flowing out of the water-permeable holes 030 will not flow along the outer wall of the drum 03 into the feeding hopper 02. The water-blocking ring 09 will block the water flowing on the outer wall of the drum 03.

[0044] The outer side of the feeding hopper 02 is integrally formed with a water collection trough 020. The center line of the water collection trough 020 along its length and the axis of the roller 1 03 together define a vertical plane. The water collection trough 020 is located directly below the roller 1 03. The width of the water collection trough 020 is greater than the outer diameter of the roller 1 03. The water baffle ring 09 and the upper end of the roller 1 03 are both located inside the water collection trough 020. The support member 07 is located inside the water collection trough 020. The water flowing out from the water permeable hole 030 will fall into the water collection trough 020. In this embodiment, one end of the water collection trough 020 is closed and the other end is open. The open end of the water collection trough 020 is far away from the roller 1 03 and the roller 2 10. Alternatively, a water bucket can be arranged below the open end of the water collection trough 020, and the water in the water collection trough 020 can flow into the water bucket.

[0045] Along the axial length of the drum 10, the inner wall of the drum 10 is divided into a frustum-shaped section 101, a cylindrical section 102, and a frustum-shaped section 103. The small diameter ends of the frustum-shaped section 101 and the frustum-shaped section 103 are arranged close to the two ends of the drum 10. The inlet and outlet 100 are directly opposite the cylindrical section 102. When the drum 10 rotates, the yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue inside the drum can be fully mixed, and the mixture of the three can gather towards the center of the drum 10. When the cover plate 11 is opened, the material in the drum 10 can be smoothly moved downwards.

[0046] Multiple casters 14 are evenly distributed at the lower end of the frame 01, allowing the frame 01 to move flexibly and adjust the position of the inlet and outlet 100 to ensure that the inlet and outlet 100 is located directly above the fermentation tank 13.

[0047] The opening end of the fermentation tank 13 is detachably fitted with a cover 15. This design facilitates the heat preservation and moisture retention of the fermentation tank 13, and prevents rainwater from entering the fermentation tank 13, which is conducive to the fermentation of the mixture of yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue.

[0048] More specifically, it also includes an arc-shaped cover 16, which is fixed inside the feeding hopper 02 and covers the drive motor 04 directly above it. There is a sufficient material passage gap between the arc-shaped cover 16 and the inner wall of the feeding hopper 02, so that the chopped straw and yeast can be smoothly moved out from the small-diameter end of the feeding hopper 02. The arc-shaped cover 16 can protect the drive motor 04, preventing the chopped straw and yeast entering the feeding hopper 02 from directly contacting the drive motor 04, ensuring that the drive motor 04 operates stably and will not jam.

[0049] When using this device:

[0050] In the initial state, both drive motor 104 and drive motor 212 are in the stopped state. The inlet and outlet 100 are directly opposite the small diameter end of the feeding hopper 02. The fermentation tank 13 is arranged below the roller 210, and the fermentation tank 13 is vertically opposite to the inlet and outlet 100.

[0051] The first step is for the workers to remove the cover plate 11 from roller 2 10;

[0052] The second step is to start the drive motor 104, and then the staff adds a certain amount of Chinese medicine residue into the drum 103. After most of the water is drained, the Chinese medicine residue in the drum 103 enters the feeding hopper 02, and the Chinese medicine residue in the feeding hopper 02 falls into the drum 20.

[0053] The third step is for the staff to add a certain amount of yeast and chopped straw into the feeding hopper 02, and the yeast and chopped straw in the feeding hopper 02 fall into the drum 10.

[0054] The fourth step is to stop the drive motor 104, and the staff will put the cover plate 11 back on the drum 2 10. Then, the drive motor 2 12 will be started, and the rotation of the drum 2 10 will be used to mix the yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue.

[0055] Fifth step: After the yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue are mixed, the staff controls the second drive motor 12 to stop and ensures that the inlet and outlet 100 is arranged vertically upward. After the staff removes the cover plate 11 again, the second drive motor 12 is started again. After the inlet and outlet 100 is vertically downward and aligned with the fermentation tank 13 located below the second drum 10, the second drive motor 12 stops again. The mixture of yeast, chopped straw and Chinese medicine residue in the second drum 10 will fall into the fermentation tank 13.

[0056] The sixth step involves the staff covering the fermentation tank 13 with the lid 15. Every so often, they use a stirring tool to stir the mixture of yeast, chopped straw, and Chinese medicine residue in the fermentation tank 13 and spray a small amount of water to ensure proper ventilation and humidity.

[0057] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0058] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
