Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging for Chinese herbal medicine slices, specifically, to a moisture-proof storage bag for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces, as an important component of TCM, play a vital role in healthcare and disease treatment. Because TCM decoction pieces are mostly derived from natural plants, animals, or minerals, their physical and chemical properties are relatively complex, making them susceptible to environmental temperature and humidity fluctuations. This can lead to problems such as moisture absorption and mold growth, thereby affecting their efficacy and safety. Therefore, the storage conditions for TCM decoction pieces are particularly important.

[0003] In existing technologies, the moisture-proof storage of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) desiccants mainly relies on methods such as sealed containers and desiccants. Sealed containers can reduce the intrusion of external moisture, but they cannot effectively absorb excess moisture already present inside the container. While desiccants can absorb some moisture, they have limitations and risks. For example, desiccants are often placed directly in the same container as TCM desiccants, which poses a serious safety hazard. Because some desiccants look similar to TCM desiccants, consumers are very likely to mistakenly ingest them, causing significant harm to their health. For instance, if silica gel desiccants are accidentally ingested, they may cause gastrointestinal discomfort; while quicklime desiccants release a large amount of heat when they come into contact with water, and if ingested, the consequences could be disastrous, potentially burning the mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, during long-term storage, desiccants gradually absorb moisture from the environment until they reach saturation, losing their moisture-absorbing and moisture-proofing capabilities, meaning the desiccants gradually become ineffective. However, with existing storage methods, consumers often cannot promptly detect the desiccant's failure, and once it expires, it cannot be easily regenerated or replaced. This results in Chinese medicinal herbs losing effective moisture protection during subsequent storage, significantly increasing the risk of them becoming damp, moldy, spoiled, or infested by insects. This severely affects the quality and efficacy of the herbs, causing economic losses and resource waste.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a moisture-proof storage device for Chinese herbal medicine slices that can solve the above problems, so as to ensure the safe storage and long-term quality stability of Chinese herbal medicine slices, and avoid the adverse effects on consumers and the Chinese herbal medicine slices industry caused by accidental ingestion or failure of desiccants. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moisture-proof storage bag for Chinese herbal medicine slices, in which the desiccant is placed separately from the Chinese herbal medicine slices, which can effectively prevent consumers from accidentally ingesting the desiccant.

[0006] According to the technical solution of this utility model, a moisture-proof storage bag for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces is provided, the moisture-proof storage bag comprising:

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It will be understood that other embodiments may be implemented without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description is non-limiting.

[0016] This utility model provides a moisture-proof storage bag for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, the moisture-proof storage bag comprising:

[0017] Opening;

[0018] An interior space defined by an impermeable flexible sheet; and

[0019] Two breathable flexible isolation layers are respectively bonded to the wall of the internal space to define a desiccant containing space between the two breathable flexible isolation layers and to divide the internal space into a first traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece containing space and a second traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece containing space, and the two breathable flexible isolation layers respectively extend to the opening to divide the opening into a first opening and a second opening.

[0020] In the actual production process, desiccant granules or desiccant packets can be added to the desiccant-containing space through the opening of the moisture-proof storage bag, and then the first opening, the second opening, and the opening of the desiccant-containing space defined by the two breathable flexible insulating layers are vacuum sealed together. Therefore, preferably, the two breathable flexible insulating layers are joined together at the opening to form a closed desiccant-containing space, and the desiccant-containing space contains desiccant.

[0021] There are no particular limitations on the materials constituting the air-impermeable flexible sheet; it can be any biodegradable or non-biodegradable material commonly used in the production of moisture-proof storage bags. Preferably, the air-impermeable flexible sheet is an air-impermeable plastic film.

[0022] There are no particular limitations on the material constituting the breathable flexible insulating layer; it can be any biodegradable or non-biodegradable material commonly used in the production of moisture-proof storage bags. Preferably, the breathable flexible insulating layer is a non-woven fabric. Alternatively, the breathable flexible insulating layer is a microporous plastic film.

[0023] According to certain preferred embodiments of this utility model, a desiccant is contained in the desiccant-containing space of the moisture-proof storage bag. There is no particular limitation on the specific type of desiccant; it can be any of the desiccants commonly used in the drying of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Preferably, the desiccant is in granular form. Alternatively, the desiccant is in desiccant packet form. For ease of addition and use, multiple desiccant packets are contained in the desiccant-containing space.

[0024] According to certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, the moisture-proof storage bag has a regular geometric shape. Preferably, the moisture-proof storage bag has a hexahedral shape. More preferably, the moisture-proof storage bag has a cuboid shape. For typical applications of storing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, the moisture-proof storage bag has a cuboid shape, and the length of the cuboid is in the range of 20-50 cm, the width is in the range of 10-30 cm, and the height is in the range of 1-10 cm.

[0025] Figure 1A perspective view of a moisture-proof storage bag 1 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown. The moisture-proof storage bag 1 has a cuboid shape. Figure 1 As shown, the moisture-proof storage bag 1 includes: an opening 2; an internal space 4 defined by an impermeable flexible sheet 3; and two breathable flexible insulating layers 5, which are respectively coupled to the wall of the internal space 4 to define a desiccant containing space 6 between the two breathable flexible insulating layers 5 and divide the internal space 4 into a first traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece containing space 7 and a second traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece containing space 8, and the two breathable flexible insulating layers 5 respectively extend to the opening 2 to divide the opening 2 into a first opening 9 and a second opening 10.

[0026] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the two breathable flexible isolation layers 5 are joined together at the opening 2 to form a closed desiccant containing space 6, and the desiccant containing space 6 contains a desiccant pack 11. Figure 2 Showing when Figure 1 The view shown is a perspective view of the moisture-proof storage bag 1 obtained when the two breathable flexible insulating layers 5 of the moisture-proof storage bag 1 are joined together at the opening 2. Figure 2 The moisture-proof storage bag 1 shown contains four desiccant packets 11. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can appropriately determine the specific number of desiccant packets 11 according to the actual specific requirements of the drying application.

[0027] In the process of using the moisture-proof storage bag of this utility model to store Chinese herbal medicine slices, if it is desired to store Chinese herbal medicine slices of equal shape, size and quantity, then preferably, the two breathable flexible isolation layers are perpendicular to the length direction of the cuboid and located in the middle of the cuboid, so that the resulting space for storing the first Chinese herbal medicine slices and the space for storing the second Chinese herbal medicine slices are the same.

[0028] Preferably, in practical applications, if a moisture-proof storage bag is used to hold two types of Chinese herbal medicine slices with different consumption rates, the moisture-proof storage bag can be designed with two different spaces for holding the Chinese herbal medicine slices. Specifically, the two breathable flexible insulating layers are perpendicular to the length direction of the cuboid and located at 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the length direction of the cuboid. In this case, the Chinese herbal medicine slices with higher daily consumption can be loaded into the larger space, while the Chinese herbal medicine slices with lower daily consumption can be loaded into the smaller space.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment of this utility model, during the use of the moisture-proof storage bag, in order to facilitate the addition of desiccant to the desiccant-containing space of the moisture-proof storage bag or the replacement of desiccant that has become ineffective after absorbing moisture, preferably, an airtight opening is provided on the surface of the moisture-proof storage bag at a location corresponding to the desiccant-containing space. During use, desiccant can be added or ineffective desiccant can be replaced through this airtight opening. There are no particular limitations on the specific construction of the airtight opening; those skilled in the art can make appropriate selections using conventional techniques in the field, as long as the desiccant can be replaced after opening the airtight opening and complete gas sealing can be achieved after closing the airtight opening.

[0030] More preferably, considering that the moisture-proof storage bags containing Chinese herbal medicine slices are usually stacked on top of each other during storage or transportation, in order to avoid damage to the airtight opening when stacked, it is preferable to provide an airtight opening in the part corresponding to the desiccant containing space on the side opposite to the surface where the opening is located. Figure 3 The diagram shows a perspective view of a moisture-proof storage bag 1 according to another specific embodiment of the present invention, wherein the moisture-proof storage bag 1 includes: an opening 2; an internal space 4 defined by an impermeable flexible sheet 3; and two breathable flexible insulating layers 5, which are respectively coupled to the walls of the internal space 4 to define a desiccant containing space 6 between the two breathable flexible insulating layers 5 and divide the internal space 4 into a first traditional Chinese medicine containing space 7 and a second traditional Chinese medicine containing space 8, and the two breathable flexible insulating layers 5 respectively extend to the opening 2 to divide the opening 2 into a first opening 9 and a second opening 10, and wherein an airtight opening 12 is provided on the side opposite to the side where the opening 2 is located, corresponding to the desiccant containing space 6.

[0031] According to the technical solution of this utility model, when granular desiccant is contained in the desiccant containing space, preferably, the diameter of the airtight opening is in the range of 0.5 cm to 1 cm. Furthermore, according to the technical solution of this utility model, when a desiccant pack is contained in the desiccant containing space, preferably, the diameter of the airtight opening is in the range of 2 cm to 5 cm.

[0032] Furthermore, during the transportation and use of packaged traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, occasional leaks may occur in the vacuum of the moisture-proof storage bag. To maintain a vacuum in the moisture-proof storage bag and improve the protection of the decoction pieces, it is preferable that the moisture-proof storage bag has an extraction valve on the side opposite to the opening. When a partial vacuum leak occurs, a vacuum pump can be used to draw air through the extraction valve to increase the vacuum level in the moisture-proof storage bag. Additionally, it is preferable that the moisture-proof storage bag has an extraction valve on the side opposite to the opening, corresponding to the desiccant containing space. With this arrangement, the desiccant in the desiccant containing space can be vacuumed and dehumidified simultaneously with the vacuuming of the moisture-proof storage bag. Figure 4 The diagram shows a perspective view of a moisture-proof storage bag 1 according to another specific embodiment of the present invention, wherein the moisture-proof storage bag 1 includes: an opening 2; an internal space 4 defined by an impermeable flexible sheet 3; and two breathable flexible insulating layers 5, which are respectively coupled to the walls of the internal space 4 to define a desiccant containing space 6 between the two breathable flexible insulating layers 5 and divide the internal space 4 into a first traditional Chinese medicine containing space 7 and a second traditional Chinese medicine containing space 8, and the two breathable flexible insulating layers 5 respectively extend to the opening 2 to divide the opening 2 into a first opening 9 and a second opening 10, and an exhaust valve 13 is provided on the side opposite to the side where the opening 2 is located at a portion corresponding to the desiccant containing space 6.

[0033] In addition, according to another technical solution of this utility model, in the moisture-proof storage bag described above, an impermeable isolation layer may also exist between the two breathable flexible isolation layers. The impermeable isolation layer is combined with the wall of the internal space to divide the desiccant containing space into a first desiccant containing space and a second desiccant containing space. The impermeable isolation layer is preferably an impermeable plastic layer. Figure 5The diagram shows a perspective view of a moisture-proof storage bag 1 according to another specific embodiment of the present invention. The moisture-proof storage bag 1 includes: an opening 2; an internal space 4 defined by an impermeable flexible sheet 3; and two breathable flexible insulating layers 5, each of which is coupled to a wall of the internal space 4 to define a desiccant-containing space 6 between the two layers and divides the internal space 4 into a first traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction piece containing space 7 and a second TCM decoction piece containing space 8. The two breathable flexible insulating layers 5 extend to the opening 2 to divide the opening 2 into a first opening 9 and a second opening 10. An impermeable insulating layer 14 is also present between the two layers, and this impermeable insulating layer 14 is coupled to a wall of the internal space 4 to divide the desiccant-containing space 6 into a first desiccant-containing space 15 and a second desiccant-containing space 16. There are no particular limitations on the material constituting the impermeable insulating layer; it can be any biodegradable or non-biodegradable material commonly used in the production of moisture-proof storage bags. Preferably, the airtight isolation layer is an airtight plastic layer. Through the above arrangement, the desiccant containing space can be divided into a first desiccant containing space and a second desiccant containing space that are isolated and airtight from each other. In this case, when only the medicinal herbs in one of the herbal medicine containing spaces of the moisture-proof storage bag are needed without opening the other herbal medicine containing space, a vacuum state can be maintained in the other unopened herbal medicine containing space, facilitating vacuum preservation of the medicinal herbs therein.

[0034] As described above, this utility model provides a moisture-proof storage bag for Chinese herbal medicine slices. By containing the desiccant in the desiccant compartment of the moisture-proof storage bag, the desiccant can be prevented from mixing with the Chinese herbal medicine slices, thereby avoiding the risk of accidental ingestion.
