Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicinal material storage, and in particular to an intelligent Chinese medicinal material storage device that optimizes the storage conditions of Chinese medicinal materials through intelligent temperature and humidity control. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicinal herbs (TCM) are an important component of TCM, and their quality directly affects the efficacy of TCM treatments. However, the storage conditions for TCM herbs are extremely strict, especially regarding temperature and humidity control. Maintaining suitable temperature and humidity is crucial to preserving their active ingredients and medicinal efficacy, and to preventing quality problems such as spoilage, mold, or insect infestation. During storage, environmental temperature and humidity are key factors determining the quality of TCM herbs. Excessively high or low temperatures, or excessively high or low humidity, can lead to the loss of active ingredients and even cause mold, insect infestation, and other issues. Therefore, proper temperature and humidity control not only extends the shelf life of TCM herbs but also maximizes their medicinal efficacy.

[0003] Currently, there are two main types of storage equipment commonly used for Chinese medicinal herbs on the market: The first type is traditional Chinese medicine cabinets or storage devices, usually made of wood or metal. These cabinets are mostly of ordinary structure and lack any temperature and humidity control system. The preservation of Chinese medicinal herbs depends entirely on environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and light. Without built-in temperature and humidity control devices, the herbs are easily affected by changes in the external environment, leading to problems such as mold, insect infestation, or loss of active ingredients. Although some pharmacies or traditional Chinese medicine shops use air conditioning to regulate indoor temperature and humidity, this external regulation method cannot precisely control the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet and is subject to significant fluctuations, failing to meet the individualized temperature and humidity requirements of different herbs. The second type is a Chinese medicine storage environment room. This type of room is usually equipped with a precise temperature and humidity control system and can be set up with different storage environments according to the needs of different herbs. Although this solution theoretically provides the best preservation environment, its large footprint, high cost, and complex operation make it difficult for small pharmacies or traditional Chinese medicine operators to adopt.

[0004] In summary, existing Chinese medicine storage devices suffer from problems such as inaccurate temperature and humidity control, unstable storage environment, limited storage modes, high manufacturing costs, large footprint, and inconsistent maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model discloses an intelligent Chinese medicinal herb storage device. The intelligent Chinese medicinal herb storage device in this embodiment includes a storage cabinet 100, multiple storage boxes 200, a control cabinet (not shown), an air inlet duct 300, and a return air duct 400. The storage cabinet 100 has multiple storage areas arranged in multiple rows and columns. Each storage box 200 is slidably installed in a storage area. Each storage box 200 has an air inlet 221 and a return air outlet 222. The control cabinet is arranged side-by-side with the storage cabinet 100 and has a control surface. The panel (not shown) and the ventilation device (not shown) are connected as follows: one end of the air inlet duct 300 is connected to the air outlet of the ventilation device, and the other end is connected to multiple air inlets 221 respectively; one end of the return air duct 400 is connected to the air inlet of the ventilation device, and the other end is connected to multiple return air inlets 222 respectively; the detection device (not shown) includes at least one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a differential pressure sensor and a wind speed sensor disposed in the storage box 200; the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, differential pressure sensor and wind speed sensor are electrically connected to the control panel respectively.

[0033] Understandably, multiple storage zones are arranged in multiple rows and columns, with each storage box 200 slidably installed within one of the zones. Each zone is equipped with a removable storage box 200 to ensure separation and ventilation of the medicinal materials. The storage boxes 200 can be freely removed as needed, facilitating the retrieval and management of the medicinal materials without interfering with the storage environment of other materials. Each storage box 200 has an air inlet 221 and an air outlet 222 to prevent mold growth due to excessive humidity. Furthermore, the control cabinet houses the control panel and ventilation system, and each storage box 200 contains a detection device that monitors temperature, humidity, pressure difference, and airflow within the box. This allows for real-time monitoring of the internal environmental data. The ventilation system automatically adjusts its operation based on sensor data, ensuring that the temperature and humidity of the storage box 200 remain within the set range.

[0035] Optionally, the control panel uses a touchscreen, ensuring reliability and allowing easy setting of parameters such as differential pressure target values, air exchange rate target values, and upper and lower limits for temperature and humidity alarms. It also facilitates easy monitoring of alarm and other equipment information. The main controller connected to the control panel uses a programmable logic controller (PLC), offering powerful functionality, advanced performance, high reliability, and excellent communication and control capabilities. Of course, the specific model of the control panel, combined with the main controller and related control logic, can be selected based on technical knowledge in the field of automatic control; therefore, no specific model restriction is imposed on the control panel here.

[0036] Optionally, the control cabinet is equipped with a monitoring communication interface, which can realize remote centralized monitoring or mobile phone SMS alarm, making it convenient to use.

[0037] Optionally, the control cabinet is equipped with abnormal condition diagnosis and alarm devices, which can alarm for any abnormal conditions of the equipment, such as temperature, humidity, differential pressure, air exchange rate, etc.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet duct 300 includes a main air inlet duct 310 and multiple branch air inlet ducts 320. The main air inlet duct 310 extends along the row direction of the storage area and is connected to the air outlet of the ventilation device. Each branch air inlet duct 320 extends along the column direction of the storage area, with one end connected to the main air inlet duct 310 and the other end closed. Each branch air inlet duct 320 is equipped with multiple air inlet connectors 330, and each air inlet connector 330 is inserted into an air inlet 221. It can be understood that the main air inlet duct 310 serves as the main duct, and the branch air inlet ducts 320 serve as the air inlet ducts for multiple storage boxes 200 within a row of storage areas. This ensures that each air inlet 221 is connected to the air inlet duct 300 and the storage box 200 through a single air inlet connector 330, and also simplifies the structure of the air inlet duct 300, facilitating assembly.

[0039] Optional, see reference Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the air inlet connector 330 includes an air inlet connecting pipe 331 and a first flexible sealing head 332. One end of the air inlet connecting pipe 331 is connected to the air inlet connector 330, and the other end is connected to one end of the first flexible sealing head 332. The other end of the first flexible sealing head 332 can be inserted into the air inlet 221 and sealed with the first sealing pipe 2211 at the air inlet 221. It is understood that in the actual connection process, the first flexible sealing head 332 and the first sealing pipe 2211 are connected. This connection is a non-invasive structure, preventing the air inlet connector 330 from contaminating the medicinal materials by intruding into the first sealing pipe 2211. Furthermore, when the storage box 200 is removed from the storage position, the presence of the first sealing pipe 2211 can, to a certain extent, prevent external air from entering the storage box through the air inlet 221, thereby reducing the risk of contamination of the medicinal materials.

[0040] Alternatively, the first flexible sealing head 332 may be made of non-toxic silicone to ensure a tight seal when the storage box 200 and the air inlet connector 330 are in positional contact.

[0041] Optionally, the main air inlet duct 310 is connected to the air outlet of the ventilation device via a connecting flexible hose. The flexible connection design allows for easy disassembly and installation of the main air inlet duct 310 and the ventilation device, facilitating cleaning and disinfection.

[0042] It should be noted that the main air inlet pipe 310 and the branch air inlet pipe 320 are integrally formed from standard 40mm×20mm×1mm flat oval tubes, ensuring that the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 300 is smooth, which can effectively prevent turbulence and the accumulation of padding powder.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the return air duct 400 includes a main return air duct 410 and multiple branch return air ducts 420. The main return air duct 410 extends along the row direction of the storage area and is connected to the air inlet of the ventilation device. Each branch return air duct 420 extends along the column direction of the storage area, with one end connected to the main return air duct 410 and the other end closed. Each branch return air duct 420 is equipped with multiple return air connectors 430, and each return air connector 430 is inserted into a return air inlet 222. It can be understood that the main return air duct 410 serves as the main duct, and the branch return air ducts 420 serve as return air ducts for multiple storage boxes 200 within a row of storage areas. This ensures that each return air inlet 222 is connected to the storage box 200 via a return air connector 430, and simplifies the structure of the return air duct 400 for easier assembly.

[0044] Optional, see reference Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the return air connector 430 includes a return air connecting pipe 431 and a second flexible sealing head 432. One end of the return air connecting pipe 431 is connected to the return air connector 430, and the other end is connected to one end of the second flexible sealing head 432. The other end of the second flexible sealing head 432 can be inserted into the return air inlet 222 and sealed with the second sealing pipe 2221 at the return air inlet 222. It is understood that in the actual connection process, the second flexible sealing head 432 and the second sealing pipe 2221 are connected. This connection is a non-invasive structure, preventing the return air connector 430 from contaminating the medicinal materials by intruding into the second sealing pipe 2221. Furthermore, when the storage box 200 is removed from the storage position, the presence of the second sealing pipe 2221 can, to a certain extent, prevent external air from entering the storage box through the return air inlet 222, thereby reducing the risk of contamination of the medicinal materials.

[0045] Alternatively, the second flexible sealing head 432 can be made of non-toxic silicone to ensure the sealing performance when the storage box 200 and the return air connector 430 are in positional contact.

[0046] Optionally, the return air main duct 410 is connected to the air inlet of the ventilation device via a connecting flexible hose. The flexible connection design allows for easy disassembly and installation of the return air main duct 410 and the ventilation device, facilitating cleaning and disinfection.

[0047] It should be noted that the return air main duct 410 and return air branch duct 420 are integrally formed from standard 40mm×20mm×1mm flat oval tubes, ensuring that the inner wall of the return air duct 400 is smooth, which can effectively prevent turbulence and the accumulation of padding powder.

[0048] refer to Figure 1As shown, the storage cabinet 100 includes a support frame 110 and multiple slide rail groups 120. The multiple slide rail groups 120 are arranged in multiple rows and columns on the support frame 110. Each slide rail group 120 includes two slide rail bodies that are spaced apart. The storage area is defined between the two slide rail bodies. The two opposite sides of the storage box 200 are slidably engaged with the two slide rail bodies. Understandably, the support frame 110, as the support structure 113 of the entire storage cabinet 100, ensures the structural stability of the storage cabinet 100. The storage area is defined by a slide rail assembly 120, which includes two spaced slide rail bodies. The two opposite sides of the storage box 200 are slidably engaged with the two slide rail bodies. On the one hand, this simplifies the structure of the storage cabinet 100, eliminating the need for multiple drawers as support structures 113 for medicine drawers, as is the case with traditional medicine cabinets in the prior art. This simplifies the structure of the entire storage cabinet 100 and helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the storage cabinet 100. On the other hand, the use of sliding supports on both sides to support the storage box 200 ensures the stability of the storage box 200 on the storage cabinet 100, reduces the chance of the storage box 200 falling off the storage cabinet, and makes it easy to push or pull the storage box 200, allowing the storage box 200 to be easily placed into or removed from the storage cabinet 100.

[0049] Optionally, the support frame 110 and multiple slide rail assemblies 120 are made of 304 stainless steel, which is structurally robust and has a brushed finish on the steel pipe surface, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0050] Optionally, the slide rail body is equipped with a positioning indicator mark to observe the placement status of the storage box 200, thereby ensuring that the storage box 200 can be stably fixed on the storage cabinet 100.

[0051] Optional, see reference Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 110 includes a top plate 111, a bottom plate 112, and two support structures 113. Each support structure 113 extends along the column direction of the storage area. The two ends of the two support structures 113 are connected to the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112, respectively, and are located at the two ends of the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112 along the row direction of the storage area. It can be understood that the support frame 110, including the top plate 111, the bottom plate 112, and the two support structures 113, simplifies the structure of the support frame 110 while ensuring its structural stability and reducing its deformation, thus helping to reduce the manufacturing cost of the support frame 110.

[0052] Alternatively, the four corners of the base plate 112 are designed with anti-collision features to prevent operators from injuring themselves during use and to prevent them from injuring other objects during pushing.

[0053] Optional, see reference Figure 1As shown, each support structure 113 includes two spaced-apart vertical beams 1131 and multiple horizontal beams 1132. The multiple horizontal beams 1132 are spaced along the height direction of the vertical beams 1131. The two ends of the vertical beams 1131 are connected to the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112, respectively. It can be understood that the vertical beams 1131 serve to connect the bottom plate 112 and the top plate 111, while the horizontal beams 1132 serve to strengthen the structure. Each support structure 113 includes two spaced-apart vertical beams 1131 and multiple horizontal beams 1132. This design ensures the structural stability of the support structure 113, reduces the deformation of the support structure 113, simplifies the structure of the support structure 113, and helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the support structure 113.

[0054] Optionally, both the storage cabinet 100 and the control cabinet are equipped with casters 500 at their bottom. Under full load, the casters 500 rotate flexibly, with low noise, and are easy to move. Further optionally, the casters 500 are equipped with brakes to stop them promptly, preventing collisions between the storage cabinet 100 and the control cabinet and other objects during transportation.

[0055] refer to Figure 2 As shown, each storage box 200 includes a box body 210, a lid 220, and a sealing element 230.
