Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine pulverization, and more particularly to a traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer. Background Technology
[0002] Because different sizes of Chinese medicinal herbs can produce different medicinal effects, they are applied to different therapeutic areas. For example, when Chuanxiong (Ligusticum striatum) is in large pieces, it retains its volatile oils better, resulting in a stronger effect of promoting qi and blood circulation. It is often used to treat symptoms such as chest and rib pain caused by blood stasis and irregular menstruation. When it is in small pieces, its volatile oils are released more quickly, resulting in better effects of dispelling wind and relieving pain. It is often used for headaches caused by wind-cold and rheumatic pain. When it is in even smaller pieces, it focuses on dispersing qi stagnation and has a certain relieving effect on rib pain caused by liver qi stagnation. Because its effect is relatively mild, it is suitable for long-term conditioning. When it is in powder form, it can act on the human body quickly and is often used for acute illnesses or situations where rapid effects are required.
[0003] The process of turning large pieces of Chinese medicinal herbs into smaller pieces or even powder is inseparable from pulverization. However, existing Chinese medicine pulverizers, after pulverizing the herbs, often cannot effectively separate them according to their size. Therefore, all the pulverized herbs are discharged from the same outlet for further processing. In order to ensure that the discharged pulverized herbs meet application requirements, technicians usually perform multiple additional sieving processes, which inevitably reduces efficiency.

[0044] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] This utility model embodiment provides a traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer; please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-3 The Chinese medicine pulverizer includes a housing, a collection unit, and a feeding unit.
[0046] Specifically,
[0047] The box includes a box body 10, a sieve plate assembly, a crushing wheel 3, and a first discharge pipe. After being crushed by the crushing wheel 3, the Chinese herbal medicine blocks fall onto the sieve plate assembly, where they undergo multi-stage sieving. Among them, the Chinese herbal medicine blocks that have been crushed by the crushing wheel 3 but have not yet been crushed to the target size are output through the first discharge pipe.
[0048] The main body 10 of the box has a feed inlet 100 on its top wall for feeding Chinese medicine blocks. A discharge outlet 101 is provided on the side wall of the main body 10 for discharging Chinese medicine blocks that have been crushed by the pulverizing wheel but have not yet reached the target size. A rotating door 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the main body 10.
[0049] The sieve plate assembly includes a first sieve plate 20, a second sieve plate 21, and a third sieve plate 22. The diameter of the sieve holes 200 of the first sieve plate 20, the second sieve plate 21, and the third sieve plate 22 gradually decreases. The first sieve plate 20 is used to sieve out the Chinese herbal medicine pieces that have not been pulverized to the target size and leave them on the first sieve plate 20. The second sieve plate 21 sieves out the Chinese herbal medicine pieces of the target size and leaves them on the second sieve plate 21. The third sieve plate 22 is used to sieve out the Chinese herbal medicine powder that is pulverized too finely. The first sieve plate 20, the second sieve plate 21, and the third sieve plate 22 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in a box. The first sieve plate 20 is arranged obliquely in the box, the second sieve plate 21 is slidably connected to the box, and a vibrator 210 is installed at the bottom of the second sieve plate. Preferably, the third sieve plate 22 is also arranged obliquely in the box, slidably connected to the box, and is arranged parallel to the first sieve plate 20. Preferably, the box is further provided with a storage frame 23, which is located below the third sieve plate 22 and is slidably connected to the box. After the third sieve plate 22 sieves the excessively small Chinese medicine pieces, the excessively fine Chinese medicine powder falls into the storage frame 23. In order to speed up the sieving speed of the Chinese medicine pieces, vibrators are installed at the bottom ends of the first sieve plate and the third sieve plate, respectively.
[0050] The crushing wheel 3 is used to crush Chinese medicine blocks. It is installed on the box body 10 in conjunction with the feed inlet 100. That is, the height of the crushing wheel 3 in the box body is greater than the height of the discharge port 101 in the box body. This allows the Chinese medicine crushed by the crushing wheel 3 to fall onto the first sieve plate 20 and slide obliquely downwards towards the discharge port while passing through the first sieve plate 20.
[0051] When the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are crushed by the crushing wheel 3 and fall onto the first sieve plate 20, those pieces that have not yet been crushed to the target size slide obliquely downwards towards the discharge port. The remaining fine Chinese herbal medicine falls through the sieve holes 200 of the first sieve plate 20 onto the second sieve plate 21. At this point, the target size Chinese herbal medicine pieces are screened out by the second sieve plate 21 and remain on the second sieve plate 21. The remaining Chinese herbal medicine falls through the sieve holes of the second sieve plate 21 onto the third sieve plate 22. The third sieve plate 22 sieves the excessively finely crushed Chinese herbal medicine powder into the collection frame 23. Thus, it is possible to separate Chinese herbal medicine materials of various sizes at once according to the next processing requirements of the product, improving efficiency while avoiding waste of medicinal materials.
[0052] The first discharge pipe includes a pipe body and a movable block 111. The pipe body includes a horizontal pipe 1100 and a vertical pipe 1101, forming an "L-shaped structure". One end of the horizontal pipe is installed on the side wall of the box body to match the discharge port 101, and the other end of the horizontal pipe is connected to the vertical pipe 1101, so that the Chinese medicinal materials at the discharge port 101 can be transported outward after passing through the horizontal pipe 1100 and the vertical pipe 1101 in sequence. The movable block 111 has one end that passes through the horizontal pipe 1100 and is designed to match the discharge port 101, so that the movable block 111 can open or close the discharge port 101; the other end of the movable block protrudes outside the horizontal pipe 1100, and its protruding end is connected to the horizontal pipe 1100 by a bolt 112. When the bolt 112 is removed, the movable block 111 is pulled outward, so that the discharge port 101 is connected to the first discharge pipe, so that the Chinese medicinal material blocks remaining on the first sieve plate 20 can be discharged outward through the first discharge pipe.
[0053] The collection unit, which is installed on the outer wall of the box body to match the first discharge pipe, includes a collection box 40 and a support base 41. The top of the collection box is connected to the discharge end of the vertical pipe, and the collection box 40 is installed on the outer wall of the box body through the support base 41. The discharge end of the collection box 40 extends downward through the support base 41.
[0054] The feeding unit includes a horizontal spiral feeder 50, a vertical spiral conveyor 51, and a horizontal spiral discharger 52. The feed end of the horizontal spiral feeder is connected to the discharge end of the collection box. The discharge end of the horizontal spiral feeder is installed at the lower part of the vertical spiral conveyor and is used to supply Chinese medicine blocks to the vertical spiral conveyor 51. The horizontal spiral discharger 52 is installed at the upper part of the vertical spiral conveyor. The output end of the horizontal spiral discharger 52 extends to the feed port 100 of the box body 10. The horizontal spiral discharger 52 is provided with a second discharge pipe 520 that matches the feed port 100. The horizontal screw feeder 50, the longitudinal screw conveyor 51, and the horizontal screw discharger 52 are all composed of a cylinder 501 and a screw rod 500. The screw rod 500 is located inside the cylinder and its two ends are rotatably connected to the cylinder 501. One end of the screw rod is externally connected to a motor 502, which drives the rotation of the screw rod 500. The motor 502 connected to the horizontal screw feeder 50 is installed on the support base 41, the motor 502 connected to the longitudinal screw conveyor 51 is installed on the cylinder 501 of the longitudinal screw conveyor 51, and the motor 502 connected to the horizontal screw discharger 52 is installed on the housing body 10.
[0055] The Chinese herbal medicine blocks that have not yet been crushed to the target size, which are output from the first discharge pipe, fall into the horizontal screw feeder 50 after passing through the collection box 40. The horizontal screw feeder 50 then transmits them to the vertical screw conveyor 51, and then the vertical screw conveyor 51 transmits them to the horizontal screw discharger 52. They then fall into the crushing wheel 3 through the second discharge pipe 520 for crushing, which is beneficial to the thorough crushing of the Chinese herbal medicine blocks.
[0056] Based on the above embodiments, the working principle of this application is as follows:
[0057] Start the vibrator 210 and start the motor 502. The Chinese medicine to be crushed falls into the crushing wheel 3 through the feed port 100 of the box body 10 for crushing. The crushed Chinese medicine falls onto the first sieve plate 20. The Chinese medicine pieces that have not been crushed to the target size and are screened out by the first sieve plate 20 remain on it. The rest fall onto the second sieve plate 21. After passing through the second sieve plate 21, it falls onto the third sieve plate 22. After passing through the third sieve plate 22, it falls into the collection frame 23. At the same time, remove the bolt 112 and pull the movable block 111 outward. The Chinese medicine pieces on the first sieve plate 20 fall into the collection box 40 through the first discharge pipe. Then, they are transferred by the feeding unit to the box body 10 for crushing again. After repeated cycles, the Chinese medicine pieces that have not been crushed to the target size remaining on the first sieve plate are basically crushed.
[0058] After standing for a while, open the rotating door 12 and pull out the second sieve plate 21, the third sieve plate 22 and the storage frame 23 respectively. They can be put into the corresponding processing in the subsequent stages according to the application needs of Chinese herbal medicine materials of different sizes.
[0059] Based on the above embodiments, the advantages of this application are:
[0060] By decreasing the aperture of the sieves in each sieve plate inside the box body from top to bottom, not only can the residue of Chinese medicine powder be separated from the Chinese medicine blocks, but also the separation of Chinese medicine materials of various sizes can be achieved at one time to meet different application needs and improve efficiency. Furthermore, the feeding unit transports the Chinese medicine blocks that have not yet been powdered to the target size on the first sieve plate 20 to the box body for re-powdering, so that the Chinese medicine blocks can be fully powdered while avoiding waste of medicinal materials.
