[0024] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for microwave processing of Eucommia ulmoides male flowers, including a box body 1 and a feeding hopper 2 set on the top of the box body 1. The box body 1 has clamping cavities on both sides, and a microwave generator 3 is set in the clamping cavity. The Eucommia ulmoides male flowers to be processed can be added into the box body 1 through the feeding hopper 2. The microwave generator 3 in the clamping cavity on both sides of the box body 1 performs microwave processing on the falling Eucommia ulmoides male flowers. A fixed bracket 4 is fixed inside the box body 1. A support 5 is fixed on the top surface of the fixed bracket 4. A material dispersing component 6 is set on the support 5 for dispersing the Eucommia ulmoides male flowers falling from the feeding hopper 2 to the surrounding area. A driving component 7 and a connecting rod 8 are set on the fixed bracket 4 to drive the material dispersing component 6 to move up and down reciprocally under the drive of the driving component 7. A scraping component 9 is set on the material dispersing component 6 to scrape the Eucommia ulmoides male flowers scattered on the material dispersing component 6 under the synchronous drive of the driving component 7.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The bulk material component 6 includes a bulk material hopper 61. A first bushing 62 is fixed to the inner side of the bulk material hopper 61. A slide block 63, which is vertically slidably connected to the support 5, is fixed to the lower end of the first bushing 62. A second positioning rod 64, which is radially arranged relative to the first bushing 62, is fixed to the outer side of the slide block 63. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving component 7 includes a motor and a reducer 71, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixed bracket 4. A disc 72 is fixed at the output end of the motor and reducer 71. A bevel gear disc 73 is provided on the side of the disc 72 facing the motor and reducer 71. An eccentrically positioned first positioning rod 74 is fixed on the outer side of the disc 72. During the processing, the motor and reducer 71 drive the disc 72 to rotate. Due to the eccentric setting of the first positioning rod 74, the bulk hopper 61 moves up and down with the discharge hopper 91 under the sliding limit of the slide block 63 and the support 5 through the connection relationship of the connecting rod 8.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The scraping component 9 includes a hopper 91, a splined shaft 92 fixed to the inner side of the hopper 91, a number of annularly distributed scrapers 93 fixed to the surface of the splined shaft 92, a rubber strip 94 fixed to the bottom of the scraper 93, a second bushing 95 slidably connected to the outer bottom of the splined shaft 92, and the second bushing 95 rotatably connected to the support 5. A bevel gear 96 that meshes with the bevel gear disk 73 is fixed to the lower end of the second bushing 95. The meshing of the bevel gear 96 with the bevel gear disk 73 can drive the second bushing 95 to rotate on the support 5. Due to the sliding limit of the second bushing 95 on the splined shaft 92, the splined shaft 92 can be driven to rotate synchronously.

[0028] Furthermore, the bulk material hopper 61 is a cone shape with a diameter that gradually increases from top to bottom. The scraper 93 and rubber strip 94 are spirally distributed above the bulk material hopper 61, and the bottom of the rubber strip 94 is in contact with the upper surface of the bulk material hopper 61. During the rotation of the spline shaft 92, it can drive the spirally distributed 83 on the outside of the spline shaft 92 to rotate continuously relative to the bulk material hopper 61, thereby continuously pushing the Eucommia ulmoides male flowers on the surface of the bulk material hopper 61 from top to bottom.

[0029] Furthermore, the discharge hopper 91 is a cone with a diameter that gradually increases from top to bottom, and it is adapted to the bottom opening of the feed hopper 2. The reciprocating motion of the discharge hopper 91 can cause the bottom opening of the feed hopper 2 to open and close repeatedly, so that the male flowers of Eucommia ulmoides can fall onto the bulk hopper 61 in weight.

[0030] It should be noted that the lower end of the connecting rod 8 is hinged to the first positioning rod 74, and the upper end of the connecting rod 8 is hinged to the second positioning rod 64, so as to achieve a linkage effect. Through the reciprocating motion of the bulk hopper 61, the Eucommia ulmoides male flowers can move up and down in the box 1, thereby being fully subjected to the microwaves emitted by the microwave generator 3, and improving the processing effect.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Eucommia ulmoides male flowers to be processed are added into the housing 1 through the feeding hopper 2. Microwave generators 3 in the side chambers of the housing 1 microwave the falling Eucommia ulmoides male flowers. During the processing, the motor and reducer 71 drive the disc 72 to rotate. Due to the eccentric setting of the first positioning rod 74, and through the connection relationship of the connecting rod 8, the sliding limit between the slide block 63 and the support 5 causes the bulk hopper 61 to move up and down with the discharge hopper 91. The reciprocating motion of the discharge hopper 91 enables the feeding hopper to move up and down. The bottom opening of hopper 2 is repeatedly opened and closed, allowing the male flowers of Eucommia ulmoides to fall onto the bulk hopper 61 in a weight. At the same time, the meshing of bevel gear 96 and bevel gear disc 73 drives the second bushing 95 to rotate on the support 5. Due to the sliding limit of the second bushing 95 on the spline shaft 92, the spline shaft 92 can be driven to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the spirally distributed 83 on the outer side of the spline shaft 92 to rotate continuously relative to the bulk hopper 61. This can continuously push the male flowers of Eucommia ulmoides on the surface of the bulk hopper 61 from top to bottom, preventing the male flowers of Eucommia ulmoides from adhering to the surface of the bulk hopper 61.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
