Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, and specifically relates to a multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine sterilization cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] When producing Chinese medicinal herbs, they need to be sliced ​​and washed to remove dust, mud, and other impurities. However, due to storage requirements and to prevent the loss of medicinal properties, the moist herbs need to be quickly dried and sterilized. Common sterilization cabinets use hot dry gas and ozone to dry and sterilize the herbs. However, when the herbs are piled in several portions on trays of different heights, the herbs in the middle of the trays are covered from top to bottom, resulting in unsatisfactory drying and sterilization effects for this portion of the herbs.

[0003] To achieve the flipping action of Chinese medicinal herbs, existing technologies have introduced some solutions using flippable trays. The trays are located inside the sterilizer, which also contains a complex transmission mechanism. In this solution, the internal structure of the sterilizer is complex; each time a tray is removed, it must be placed into a transfer cart individually, making the operation cumbersome. Ideally, several trays and transfer carts could be moved into the sterilizer simultaneously, significantly improving work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional Chinese medicine sterilization cabinet that facilitates the storage and retrieval of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a multifunctional Chinese medicine sterilization cabinet, including a cabinet body. The front of the cabinet body is provided with an entrance and a cabinet door. The interior of the cabinet body is provided with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a dry gas inlet, a dry gas outlet, an ozone inlet, an ozone outlet, and an electric valve. The bottom of the entrance of the cabinet body is sloped. The bottom of the cabinet body is provided with four lifting units and their controllers. The four lifting units are used to support the four rollers of the turnover cart. When the four lifting units are in the highest position, their upper surfaces are flush with the bottom of the cabinet body. The four lifting units can be lifted and lowered independently, thereby causing the turnover cart and the materials on the turnover cart to shake. At least two of the lifting units are provided with locking ropes on their front sides. One end of the locking rope is fixedly connected to the front side of the lifting unit, and the other end of the locking rope is detachably connected to the front side of the lifting unit. The locking rope is used to pass through the rollers of the turnover cart to temporarily fix the turnover cart.

[0006] As an improvement to the above solution, the locking rope is an iron chain, and a hook is provided at one detachable end of the locking rope. The front of the lifting unit is provided with a lock hole to facilitate the passage of the hook.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, the lifting unit includes a lifting plate located above and a cylinder located below the lifting plate. The cylinder extends and retracts to push the lifting plate to move.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, the lifting plate has downward protrusions around its perimeter to form guide plates that fit against the side wall. When the lifting plate is displaced, the four guide plates fit into the grooves to prevent the lifting plate from shaking.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, a sealing gasket for fitting the slope is provided on the inner side of the cabinet door.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, the height of the turnover cart is less than 1.5m, and the turnover cart is equipped with several trays for holding Chinese medicinal materials.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, a heat pump and an ozone generator are installed on the outside of the cabinet. The heat pump is connected to the dry gas inlet and the dry gas outlet, and the ozone generator is connected to the ozone inlet and the ozone outlet.

[0012] This invention offers the following advantages: This design eliminates the need for operators to frequently load and unload materials between the trolley and the sterilization cabinet during the sterilization process, significantly improving workflow efficiency and effectively reducing operation time and labor costs. Once the trolley enters the sterilization cabinet, it is immediately supported by four high-precision lifting units located at the four corners of the bottom. These four lifting units work in precise coordination through an advanced control system, driving the trolley to vibrate vertically (up and down), horizontally (left and right), and back and forth according to a preset program. Through this multi-dimensional vibration pattern, the medicinal herbs in the tray are subjected to periodic shaking, tumbling thoroughly within the tray, ensuring that every herb is evenly heated, achieving comprehensive and thorough sterilization, and guaranteeing the stability and uniformity of sterilization quality.
