Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grinding equipment technology, and in particular to a grinding equipment for processing traditional Chinese medicine that can prevent residues. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the grinding and processing of medicinal herbs is a crucial step, directly impacting the efficacy and quality of subsequent TCM preparations. With the booming development of the TCM industry, the demands on TCM grinding equipment are also increasing. On the one hand, different TCM prescriptions often require powders of varying particle sizes, making precise classification and grinding essential. On the other hand, traditional grinding equipment easily leaves TCM residues during processing, wasting resources and potentially affecting the purity and quality of subsequent batches. Therefore, a grinding system that effectively prevents TCM residues is of great significance for improving TCM processing efficiency and ensuring quality, and it is also an urgent need for promoting the modernization of TCM.

[0003] Existing Chinese medicine grinding equipment has its own mechanical structure and technical principle. Common grinding equipment includes stone mortar grinders and rotary grinders. Stone mortar grinders mainly rely on simple mechanical power to drive the pestle to grind Chinese medicine in the stone mortar, while rotary grinders use a motor to drive the grinding disc to rotate and grind the Chinese medicine placed on the grinding disc.

[0004] However, existing grinding equipment often struggles to achieve precise grinding of Chinese medicinal herbs and effectively prevent herb residues. In actual processing, it often fails to accurately meet the stringent particle size requirements of different Chinese herbal formulas, resulting in incomplete efficacy. Furthermore, the large amount of herb residue inside the grinding equipment not only wastes herbs and increases production costs but also easily breeds bacteria, contaminating subsequent processed raw materials. Frequent cleaning also reduces production efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a residue-preventing grinding device for Chinese medicinal herb processing to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a grinding device for processing traditional Chinese medicine that can prevent residues, aiming to improve the problem that existing grinding devices often have difficulty in accurately grinding traditional Chinese medicine and effectively preventing residues.

[0033] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a grinding device for processing Chinese medicine that can prevent residues, including a fixed box 1, a material cylinder 2 provided on the top of the fixed box 1 for easy input of Chinese medicinal materials, a feeding pipe 4 fixedly connected inside the fixed box 1, a hollow column 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding pipe 4, the hollow column 3 plays an important role in supporting the feeding component, the feeding component is provided inside the hollow column 3, and the grinding component is provided inside the material cylinder 2;

[0035] The feeding assembly includes a rotating column 8 and multiple blades 9. The rotating column 8 is rotatably connected inside the hollow column 3. The multiple blades 9 are evenly distributed in a ring array on the outer wall of the rotating column 8, and all the blades 9 are in contact with the inner wall of the hollow column 3. The rotating column 8 can rotate 360 ​​degrees, and the blades 9 rotate with the movement of the rotating column 8, thereby effectively pushing the Chinese medicine powder downward and reducing the residue of Chinese medicine powder on the inner wall of the hollow column 3. A motor 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the hollow column 3, and the output end of the motor 7 is connected to the rotating column 8. A feeding pipe 5 is fixedly connected inside the hollow column 3, and a discharge pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the feeding pipe 5. The discharge pipe 6 passes through the inside of the fixed box 1 to ensure the orderly output of the Chinese medicine powder.

[0036] Specifically, when using this grinding equipment, the Chinese medicinal materials are first poured into the feed hopper 14. The feed hopper 14 has a reasonable inclination angle to ensure that the Chinese medicinal materials can smoothly enter the grinding cylinder 10. Subsequently, the Chinese medicinal materials are ground by the conical grinding roller 16 inside the grinding cylinder 10. The ground Chinese medicinal powder flows out from the discharge hopper 15 at the bottom of the cylinder 2 and enters the feeding pipe 4. During this process, the powder will encounter obstruction by multiple blades 9 inside the hollow column 3. In order to further push the Chinese medicinal powder, the output end of the motor 7 drives the rotating column 8 to rotate. The rotating column 8 is forced to drive the blades 9 to rotate, so that the blades 9 push the Chinese medicinal powder and gradually press the Chinese medicinal powder towards the discharge pipe 5 at the bottom of the hollow column 3. At the same time, one of the blades 9 will rotate to the bottom of the feeding pipe 4 and automatically close to prevent too much powder from entering the discharge pipe 5 at the same time. With the rotation of multiple blades 9, the flow rate of the Chinese medicinal powder can be effectively adjusted, and the scraping function of the blades 9 can clean the residual medicinal materials on the inner wall of the hollow column 3, avoiding the accumulation and contamination of the medicinal materials.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The grinding assembly includes a grinding cylinder 10 and a conical grinding roller 16. The grinding cylinder 10 is threadedly connected inside the material cylinder 2 to facilitate adjustment of the grinding space and grinding effect as needed. The conical grinding roller 16 is slidably connected inside the grinding cylinder 10, allowing it to slide freely within the cylinder and grind the medicinal materials during rotation. A gear 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 10, and a feed hopper 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the grinding cylinder 10. A motor 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material cylinder 2, and a gear 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12. The gear 13 meshes with the gear 11, driving the grinding cylinder 10 to rotate. A feed hopper 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material cylinder 2, primarily for guiding... The ground Chinese medicine powder flows into the feeding pipe 4. The bottom end of the hopper 15 is fixedly connected to the top end of the feeding pipe 4. A support frame 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed box 1. A driven wheel 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the conical grinding roller 16. The rotation of the driven wheel 17 drives the conical grinding roller 16 to move inside the grinding cylinder 10. A motor 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the support frame 18. A transmission column 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 19. A connecting frame 22 is fixedly connected inside the material cylinder 2. The transmission column 20 is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame 22. A support rod 23 is fixedly connected inside the material cylinder 2. The driven wheel 17 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support rod 23. A driving wheel 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame 22. The driving wheel 21 meshes with the driven wheel 17.

[0038] Specifically, during the grinding process, if it is necessary to adjust the particle size, the output end of motor 12 can drive gear 13 to rotate. Gear 13 meshes with gear 11. The rotation of gear 11 causes the grinding cylinder 10 to move relative to the material cylinder 2. Specifically, the threaded fit design between the grinding cylinder 10 and the material cylinder 2 allows the grinding cylinder 10 to extend and retract along the axial direction of the material cylinder 2. Through this adjustment, the grinding cylinder 10 can extend out of or retract into the material cylinder 2, thereby adjusting the size of the grinding chamber and controlling the fineness of the grinding of the Chinese medicinal materials. Before adjustment, the bottom end of the conical grinding roller 16 is... The inner wall of the conical grinding roller 16 contacts the inner wall of the grinding cylinder 10, providing friction for the grinding operation. After adjustment, the contact distance between the inner wall of the conical grinding roller 16 and the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 10 changes due to the displacement of the grinding cylinder 10. Then, the motor 3 19 drives the drive wheel 21 to rotate. The drive wheel 21 drives the driven wheel 17 to rotate through gear transmission, which in turn drives the conical grinding roller 16 to rotate inside the grinding cylinder 10. At this time, the Chinese medicine is concentrated in the area where the conical grinding roller 16 contacts the inner wall of the grinding cylinder 10, thereby ensuring that the Chinese medicine is fully contacted and rubbed between the grinding cylinder 10 and the conical grinding roller 16 to achieve the ideal grinding effect.

[0039] Working principle: When using this grinding equipment, the Chinese medicine is first poured into the feed hopper 14, allowing it to enter the grinding cylinder 10. The conical grinding rollers 16 inside the grinding cylinder 10 then grind the medicine. The ground powder flows out from the discharge hopper 15 at the bottom of the cylinder 2 and falls into the hollow column 3 through the feeding pipe 4. The powder is then blocked by multiple blades 9 inside the hollow column 3. The output of motor 7 drives the rotating column 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the blades 9 to rotate, thus... The blade 9 pushes the Chinese herbal powder, causing it to fall into the feed pipe 5 at the bottom of the hollow column 3. Simultaneously, one of the blades 9 rotates to the bottom of the feed pipe 4 and closes it. Through the rotation of multiple blades 9, the feeding rate of the Chinese herbal powder can be effectively controlled. The blades 9 also scrape off any residual Chinese herbal powder from the inner wall of the hollow column 3. Finally, the powder is discharged through the discharge pipe 6, thus achieving the effects of easy control of the feeding rate and prevention of residue. When it is necessary to adjust the particle size during the grinding process, it is first adjusted by the motor 12. The output end drives gear 13 to rotate, and gear 13, under force, drives gear 11, which meshes with it, to rotate. This causes gear 11 to drive the grinding cylinder 10 to rotate inside the material cylinder 2. Through the threaded engagement between the grinding cylinder 10 and the material cylinder 2, the grinding cylinder 10 can extend outside or retract inside the material cylinder 2. Before adjustment, the outer wall of the bottom end of the conical grinding roller 16 is in contact with the inner wall of the grinding cylinder 10, providing friction for the grinding operation. The displacement of the grinding cylinder 10 further causes the outer wall of the bottom end of the grinding cylinder 10 to contact the inner wall of the conical grinding roller 16. The distance between the contact parts between the walls changes, thereby adjusting the coarseness of the grinding of the medicinal materials. After the adjustment is completed, the motor 19 drives the drive wheel 21 to rotate, and the drive wheel 21 drives the driven wheel 17 that meshes with it to rotate, so that the driven wheel 17 drives the conical grinding roller 16 to rotate inside the grinding cylinder 10. After the material enters the material cylinder 2, it will fall directly into the grinding cylinder 10 and be concentrated in the area where the conical grinding roller 16 contacts the inner wall of the grinding cylinder 10 for grinding. During the rotation of the conical grinding roller 16, the material is squeezed and rubbed, thereby achieving fine grinding.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
