Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine separation and extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) separation and extraction refers to the process of separating and extracting active ingredients from medicinal herbs. This process typically involves two main steps: extraction and separation. Extraction involves using appropriate solvents (such as water or ethanol) to dissolve the active ingredients in the medicinal herbs; while separation involves using various methods to separate these active ingredients from other impurities to obtain pure, active components.

[0003] In the existing technology, during the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, the pulverized medicinal materials are uniformly poured into the extraction chamber for reaction. Since the traditional Chinese medicine and the solvent need to have sufficient contact, too much or too little traditional Chinese medicine will affect the recovery rate and quality of the extract, which may result in insufficient or excessive recovery of the effective components, thereby affecting the quality and efficacy of the final product. Therefore, we propose a traditional Chinese medicine separation and extraction device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a traditional Chinese medicine separation and extraction device.

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

[0008] Preferably, a first bearing is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the spline shaft, and the outer ring of the first bearing is fixedly connected to the top of the partition plate. The first bearing assists the spline shaft to rotate stably.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the circular plate has a central hole, and the inner wall of the central hole is slidably connected to the outer wall of the spline shaft. The circular plate is used to assist the two outer tubes in moving up and down.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Depend on Figures 1-4 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine separation and extraction device is disclosed, including an extraction chamber 1. A partition 2 is fixedly connected inside the extraction chamber 1. A spline shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the partition 2. A first bearing is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the spline shaft 3. The outer ring of the first bearing is fixedly connected to the top of the partition 2. The spline shaft 3 rotates stably through the first bearing.

[0023] A top plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the spline shaft 3. Two feed pipes 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top plate 4. The top of the top plate 4 is in contact with the inner top wall of the extraction chamber 1. The outer walls of the two feed pipes 5 are slidably fitted with outer tubes 7. The outer tubes 7 and the feed pipes 5 cooperate to form a pipeline. The length of the pipeline is changed by the extension and retraction of the outer tubes 7, so as to change the amount of Chinese medicine fed. The tops of the two outer tubes 7 are fixedly connected to the same circular plate 6. The outer wall of the circular plate 6 has a central hole. The inner wall of the central hole is slidably connected to the outer wall of the spline shaft 3.

[0024] A spline sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular plate 6. The inner wall of the spline sleeve 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the spline shaft 3. The key block provided on the outer wall of the spline shaft 3 and the keyway provided on the inner wall of the spline sleeve 8 cooperate with each other to make the two rotate synchronously. A second bearing is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the spline sleeve 8. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the second bearing. When the spline sleeve 8 rotates, the connecting plate 9 is in a fixed position through the second bearing. The connecting plate 9 can drive the spline sleeve 8 to move up and down along the spline shaft 3. An electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition plate 2. The top of the output end of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 9.

[0025] An intermediate plate 11 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the output end of the electric push rod 10. The outer walls of the circular plate 6 and the intermediate plate 11 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the extraction chamber 1. A guide pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the intermediate plate 11. The guide pipe 12 is intermittently connected to the two discharge pipes 5 and the outer pipe 7 to guide the Chinese medicine into the interior of the extraction chamber 1. A sliding hole is opened on the outer wall of the partition plate 2. The inner wall of the sliding hole is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide pipe 12.

[0026] The bottom of the extraction chamber 1 is fixedly connected with multiple legs, and the outer wall of the extraction chamber 1 is fixedly connected with the feed pipe and the discharge pipe.

[0027] The top of the partition 2 is equipped with a drive mechanism, which includes a motor 13. The top of the partition 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the motor 13. The top of the output shaft of the motor 13 is fixedly sleeved with a half gear 14. The outer wall of the spline shaft 3 is fixedly sleeved with a driven gear 15. The driven gear 15 and the half gear 14 are meshed. Since the teeth of the half gear 14 only occupy half of the circumference, this design allows the half gear 14 to only contact and transmit with half of the driven gear 15 when meshing, thereby realizing intermittent motion. The top of the extraction chamber 1 is fixedly connected to the material chamber 16.

[0028] Working Principle: During operation, the pulverized Chinese medicine is stored in the hopper 16. During subsequent mixing and extraction in the extraction chamber 1, the motor 13 drives the half-gear 14 to rotate. The rotation of the half-gear 14 drives the driven gear 15 to rotate intermittently. Because the teeth of the half-gear 14 only occupy half of its circumference, this design ensures that the half-gear 14 can only contact and transmit power with half of the driven gear 15 during meshing, thus achieving intermittent motion. The intermittent rotation of the driven gear 15 drives the spline shaft 3 to rotate intermittently. The intermittent rotation of the spline shaft 3 drives the top plate 4 to rotate intermittently. The intermittent rotation of the top plate 4 connects the two feed pipes 5 to the bottom of the hopper 16. During this connection, the Chinese medicine in the hopper 16 enters the feed pipes 5, and the rotation of the top plate 4 drives the two feed pipes 5 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the two feed pipes 5 drives the two outer pipes 7. The circular plate 6 rotates intermittently, and after the feed pipe 5 containing Chinese medicine rotates to the top of the guide pipe 12, the bottom of the Chinese medicine falls into the guide pipe 12 without support, thus entering the interior of the extraction chamber 1. This operation allows for intermittent feeding of Chinese medicine, and the amount fed each time is almost the same, which helps to ensure the stability and repeatability of the extraction process. At the same time, when the feeding amount is changed, the electric push rod 10 drives the connecting plate 9 to move downward. The downward movement of the connecting plate 9 drives the second bearing and spline sleeve 8 to move downward. The downward movement of the spline sleeve 8 drives the circular plate 6 and the outer tube 7 to move downward. At the same time, it also drives the intermediate plate 11 and the guide pipe 12 to move downward synchronously. The two outer tubes 7 are fitted on the two feed pipes 5. As they move downward, the amount of Chinese medicine fed later is increased, and the weight of the Chinese medicine fed each time is changed, so as to achieve the purpose of flexible adjustment.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
