Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grinding device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and in particular to a grinding device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces refer to medicinal herbs that have undergone preliminary processing and can be directly decocted into medicinal soups or taken directly in other ways. During processing, these pieces are usually cut into thin slices, granules, or other shapes that meet specific requirements. This not only facilitates long-term preservation but also makes them more convenient and quick to use. As a very common and indispensable form of medicine in TCM clinical treatment, TCM decoction pieces are widely used in the prevention, treatment, and management of various diseases and are an important component of the TCM diagnostic and treatment system.

[0003] The grinding process in the production of Chinese herbal medicine (TCM) decoction pieces refers to the first step in the manufacturing process of TCM. Strictly selected medicinal herbs are thoroughly cleaned to remove surface impurities and contaminants. They are then placed in suitable drying equipment for drying to ensure the degree of dryness and preservation quality. After these pretreatment steps, specially designed tools or high-precision machinery are used to finely pulverize or grind the dried herbs, ultimately producing them in tablet or granule form suitable for subsequent decoction or direct oral administration. This series of meticulous grinding steps is not only an indispensable and crucial part of the TCM processing flow but also key to improving the extraction efficiency of the active ingredients. It also helps to maximize the preservation and utilization of the medicinal properties of the herbs, ensuring the clinical efficacy and safety of TCM preparations.

[0004] Existing grinding devices are unable to grind to the appropriate size; grinding particles that are too large or too small can negatively impact subsequent production. To overcome these disadvantages, this invention provides a grinding device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Utility Model Content
