Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing technical field especially relates to a kind of baking device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece is the important component of traditional Chinese medicine, and its quality is directly related to clinical curative effect and patient's safety. In the processing of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece, drying is a key step, which aims at removing the moisture in medicinal materials, preventing mildew and insect damage, prolonging the shelf life, and ensuring the stability of effective components of medicinal materials.

[0003] Most of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece baking devices on the market currently mainly adopt direct baking mode, i.e. medicinal materials are subjected to high-temperature treatment immediately after entering the baking oven. However, due to uneven distribution of water content in medicinal materials, direct high-temperature baking is prone to cause rapid drying of the surface to form a hard shell, hinder evaporation of internal moisture, cause incomplete drying or local over-drying, and direct baking requires a long time and high temperature, resulting in large energy consumption and increased production cost. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the technical problem of the utility model is to provide a baking device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of the utility model is as follows: a baking device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing includes a base, a motor, a cylinder, a feed hopper, a rotating shaft, an auger, a fan, an air outlet pipe and a baking assembly. The baking assembly for baking medicinal materials is arranged on the left side of the top of the base. The cylinder is connected to the right side of the top of the base. The feed hopper is connected to the right side of the top of the cylinder. The motor is installed on the right side wall of the cylinder. The output shaft of the motor extends into the cylinder and is connected to the rotating shaft. The auger is connected to the rotating shaft inside the cylinder. The fan is installed on the top of the cylinder. The air outlet pipe is connected to the outside of the cylinder at equal intervals. The air outlet pipe is provided with a plurality of air outlets at equal intervals along the circumference. The air outlet is communicated with the cylinder. The fan is connected to the air outlet pipe through a pipe.

[0006] More preferably, a plurality of drainage openings are arranged at equal intervals at the bottom of the cylinder.

[0007] More preferably, the fan is provided with three air inlets, and each air inlet is provided with a filter screen.

[0008] More preferably, the baking assembly includes a conveyor, a baking machine, a housing, a feeding plate, a guide rod, and a support plate. A conveyor for conveying medicinal materials for baking is installed on the top left side of the base. The housing is connected to the top left side of the base outside the conveyor. The baking machine is installed on the top of the housing and is located above the conveyor. Support plates are symmetrically connected to the top of the base to the right side of the conveyor. Guide rods are rotatably connected between the support plates. An inclined feeding plate is provided on the guide rod.

[0009] More preferably, the surface of the feed plate is coated with a wear-resistant coating.

[0010] More preferably, it also includes a torsion spring, a push rod, a connecting sleeve, and a rotating rod. Torsion springs are connected between both ends of the feed plate and the support plate. The torsion springs are sleeved on the guide rod. A connecting sleeve is connected to the front side of the left side wall of the cylinder. A push rod is slidably connected to the connecting sleeve. The bottom end of the push rod is in contact with the feed plate. Multiple rotating rods are connected circumferentially at intervals at the left end of the rotating shaft. The rotating rods are in contact with the push rods.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. First, the medicinal materials in the cylinder are dried by the fan, which can quickly remove the surface moisture. Then, the medicinal materials are transported by the auger and subsequently baked by the baking machine, which reduces the time and energy required for baking, improves the overall drying efficiency, and effectively reduces energy consumption.

[0012] 2. The air-drying process helps to ensure that most of the free water in the medicinal materials has been removed before entering the baking stage, so that the internal moisture can evaporate more evenly during baking. This avoids the hard shell formed by rapid surface drying, which hinders the escape of internal moisture, thus ensuring the quality of the medicinal materials.

[0013] 3. Through the cooperation of the rotating rod, the top rod and the feeding plate, the top rod repeatedly pushes the feeding plate, making it swing up and down, ensuring that the medicinal materials falling onto the feeding plate can be evenly distributed on the conveyor, and then enter the baking stage. The evenly distributed medicinal materials are heated more evenly during the baking process, further ensuring the consistency and stability of the baking effect. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0020] Example: A roasting apparatus for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a motor 2, a cylinder 201, a feed hopper 202, a rotating shaft 15, an auger 16, a fan 17, an air outlet duct 18, and a baking assembly. The baking assembly is located on the top left side of the base 1. The cylinder 201 is connected to the top right side of the base 1. The feed hopper 202 is connected to the top right side of the cylinder 201. The motor 2 is mounted on the right side wall of the cylinder 201. The output shaft of the motor 2 extends into the cylinder 201 and is connected to the rotating shaft 15. The auger 16, located inside the cylinder 201, is connected to the rotating shaft 15. The auger 16 is used to transport the medicinal materials. The fan 17 is bolted to the top of the cylinder 201. The outer sides of the cylinder 201 are equidistantly spaced... Multiple annular air outlet pipes 18 are connected, and multiple air outlets 19 are spaced apart along the inner side of the air outlet pipes 18. All air outlets 19 are connected to the cylinder body 201. The fan 17 is equipped with three air inlets, each with a filter screen, which can increase the air intake and prevent dust and impurities from entering the fan 17. The fan 17 is connected to the air outlet pipes 18 through pipes. The fan 17 draws external air into the air outlet pipes 18, and then blows it into the cylinder body 201 through the air outlets 19 to air dry the internal medicinal materials in all directions. Several drain outlets 101 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the cylinder body 201, and the moisture in the medicinal materials in the cylinder body 201 can be discharged through the drain outlets 101.

[0021] like Figures 1-2As shown, the baking assembly includes a conveyor 3, a baking machine 4, a housing 5, a feeding plate 6, a guide rod 8, and a support plate 9. The conveyor 3 for conveying medicinal materials for baking is installed on the top left side of the base 1. The housing 5 is welded to the top left side of the base 1 outside the conveyor 3. The baking machine 4 is installed on the top of the housing 5. The baking machine 4 is located above the conveyor 3 and bakes the medicinal materials on the conveyor 3. The support plate 9 is symmetrically welded to the top of the base 1 on the right side of the conveyor 3. The guide rod 8 is rotatably connected between the support plates 9. The guide rod 8 is equipped with an inclined feeding plate 6. The feeding plate 6 is in a state of left-low and right-high. Its two ends are close to the conveyor 3 and the left port of the cylinder 201, respectively. The dried medicinal materials in the cylinder 201 will fall onto the conveyor 3 through the feeding plate 6. The surface of the feeding plate 6 is coated with a wear-resistant coating to enhance the wear resistance of the feeding plate 6 and prevent the medicinal materials from adhering to the feeding plate 6, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a torsion spring 7, a top rod 10, a connecting sleeve 12, and a rotating rod 13. Torsion springs 7 are connected between the front and rear ends of the feed plate 6 and the support plate 9. The torsion springs 7 are sleeved on the guide rod 8. A connecting sleeve 12 is welded to the front side of the left side wall inside the cylinder 201. The top rod 10 is slidably connected to the connecting sleeve 12. The bottom end of the top rod 10 is in contact with the feed plate 6. Multiple rotating rods 13 are welded circumferentially at intervals at the left end of the rotating shaft 15. The rotating rods 13 are in contact with the top rods 10. By pushing the top rods 10 through the rotating rods 13, the top rods 10 can be made to vibrate up and down, so that the feed plate 6 can be pushed up and down through the top rods 10 to scatter the medicinal materials on it, ensuring that the medicinal materials fall evenly onto the conveyor 3.

[0023] During the drying of medicinal herbs, the herbs are fed into the cylinder 201 through the feed hopper 202. The motor 2 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 2 rotates, driving the rotating shaft 15 and the auger 16 to rotate. The auger 16 gradually conveys the herbs from the right side to the left side. At the same time, the blower 17 is started, and external air is drawn in and blown onto the surface of the herbs through the air outlet 18 and the air outlet 19, achieving a preliminary air-drying effect. During the air-drying process, excess moisture is discharged through the drain outlet 101 to ensure that the environment inside the cylinder 201 is dry. The auger 16 conveys the air-dried herbs to the left side and falls onto the conveyor 3 through the feed plate 6. When the rotating shaft 15 rotates, it synchronously drives the rotating rod 13 to intermittently contact the top rod 10. When the top rod 10 moves downward under the pressure of the rotating rod 13, it pushes the feed plate 6 upward. Simultaneously, the guide rod 8 rotates, causing the torsion spring 7 to deform. When the rotating rod 13 disengages from the top rod 10, the torsion spring 7 rebounds and resets, and the feeding plate 6 also rotates downwards to return to its original position. Through the periodic movement of the rotating rod 13, the feeding plate 6 can repeatedly swing up and down, effectively shaking the medicinal materials to ensure that they are evenly distributed on the conveyor 3. The conveyor 3 and the baking machine 4 are started. The conveyor 3 slowly transports the medicinal materials from right to left, while the baking machine 4 further bakes the air-dried medicinal materials to achieve the required degree of dryness. The baked medicinal materials are sent to the left side through the conveyor 3, ready for subsequent processing into medicinal slices. When the processing task is completed, the fan 17, the conveyor 3, the baking machine 4, and the motor 2 are turned off in sequence to ensure that all equipment stops running.

[0024] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
