Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a grinding device for monitoring the components of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as a traditional form of medicine, enjoys widespread recognition and application globally. Accurate monitoring of TCM components is crucial for ensuring the quality, efficacy, and safety of drugs. To conduct effective component analysis, TCM materials need to be thoroughly ground or pulverized to obtain uniform powder samples. This not only helps improve the accuracy of the analysis but also ensures the consistency and reproducibility of the samples.

[0003] In the existing process of monitoring the components of traditional Chinese medicine, the commonly used methods for processing medicinal materials include manual grinding and pulverizing using a pulverizer. While the traditional manual grinding method can better preserve the effective components and efficacy of medicinal materials, it has limitations such as complex operation, long time consumption, and high labor intensity, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of modern large-scale production. On the other hand, during the operation of a pulverizer using a high-speed rotary cutting method, the high-speed friction between the blades and the medicinal materials generates heat. This heat accumulation may cause the temperature of the grinding area to rise rapidly. For heat-sensitive traditional Chinese medicine materials, high temperature can lead to the destruction or denaturation of effective components, thereby affecting the quality and efficacy of the medicine.

[0004] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need to develop a grinding device for monitoring the components of traditional Chinese medicine that can both improve grinding efficiency and protect the effective components of medicinal materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual grinding, and the fact that high-speed rotary cutting pulverizers easily generate a lot of heat during operation, which can lead to the destruction or denaturation of the effective components of heat-sensitive Chinese medicinal materials, this utility model provides a grinding device for monitoring Chinese medicinal materials that can both improve grinding efficiency and protect the effective components of medicinal materials.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: a grinding device for monitoring the components of traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a grinding mill, which consists of a grinding groove and a grinding wheel. The grinding groove is wide in the middle and narrower at both ends, with an internal concave shape resembling a boat. The grinding wheel is flat and round, with an axle running through its center, the two ends of which extend beyond the edge of the grinding wheel. Electric slide rails are fixedly mounted on both sides of the grinding mill via mounting blocks. A guide frame is provided on the electric slider of the electric slide rail, and a guide groove is provided on the guide frame. The two ends of the axle of the grinding wheel extend into the guide groove, and a sliding plate is slidably mounted in the guide groove. A first elastic element connects the sliding plate to the guide frame.

[0007] Furthermore, a metal guide plate is provided inside the grinding trough of the medicine mortar. The metal guide plate is designed to fit the shape of the grinding trough. A circulation pipe is installed on the back of the metal guide plate. The circulation pipe is arranged in a serpentine pattern. A water pump and a liquid storage tank are installed inside the medicine mortar. The liquid storage tank contains coolant. The input end of the water pump is connected to one end of the liquid storage tank, and the output end is connected to one end of the circulation pipe. The other end of the circulation pipe is connected to the other end of the liquid storage tank, forming a closed loop.

[0008] Furthermore, both guide frames are fixedly connected to a mounting frame, a scraper is slidably mounted on the mounting frame, a guide rod is fixedly mounted on the scraper, the guide rod slides through the mounting frame, and a second elastic element is sleeved on the guide rod, with both ends of the second elastic element connected to the scraper and the mounting frame respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a brush is provided on the side of the mounting frame near the grinding wheel, and the bristles of the brush are tightly integrated with the grinding wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower end of the guide frame is provided with a square locking hole, and the electric slider of the electric slide rail is also provided with the same square locking hole, and a locking rod is inserted between the aligned square locking holes.

[0011] Furthermore, a collection frame is provided on the side of the medicine mortar.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. The present device uses mechanically driven grinding instead of high-speed rotating cutting to process Chinese medicinal materials, which avoids the temperature rise caused by frictional heat generated by high-speed rotating cutting. This method can effectively prevent the damage or denaturation of heat-sensitive components in medicinal materials, ensure that the effective components of medicinal materials are preserved to the maximum extent, and at the same time ensure grinding efficiency.

[0013] 2. With an internal metal guide plate and a matching circulating cooling system, the heat generated during the grinding process can be effectively reduced, further protecting the medicinal materials from temperature effects and maintaining their effective components.

[0014] 3. Through the coordinated action of the scrapers on both sides, the medicinal materials are continuously pushed towards the center of the grinding trough during the reciprocating movement of the grinding wheel, ensuring that the medicinal materials are evenly distributed throughout the grinding process. This not only improves the consistency of grinding but also makes the powder of the medicinal materials finer and more uniform, thereby improving the quality of the final product.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that the terms "up," "down," "left," and "right" used in this document refer only to the position of the structure shown in the corresponding drawings. The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. Unless otherwise specified, terms such as "connection" and "linkage" in this application include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A grinding device for monitoring the components of traditional Chinese medicine includes a grinding mill 1, which consists of a grinding groove and a grinding wheel 7. The grinding groove is wide in the middle and narrower at both ends, with an internal concave shape resembling a boat. The grinding wheel 7 is flat and round, with an axle running through its center, the two ends of which extend beyond the edge of the grinding wheel 7. Electric slide rails 3 are fixedly mounted on the front and rear sides of the grinding mill 1 via mounting blocks 2. A guide frame 4 is provided on the electric slider of the electric slide rail 3, and a guide groove is provided on the guide frame 4. The two ends of the axle of the grinding wheel 7 extend into the guide groove, allowing the grinding wheel 7 to move vertically under the guidance of the guide groove. A square locking hole is provided at the lower end of the guide frame 4. The electric slider of the electric slide rail 3... The guide frame 4 is also provided with the same square card holes, and a card rod 17 is inserted between the aligned square card holes. The design of the card rod 17 is used to fix the guide frame 4 and the electric slide rail 3 to achieve a stable connection, and at the same time facilitate quick installation and disassembly. A sliding plate 5 is slidably installed in the guide groove. A first elastic element 6 is connected between the sliding plate 5 and the guide frame 4. The sliding plate 5 and the first elastic element 6 cooperate to apply appropriate pressure to the grinding wheel 7, ensuring that the grinding wheel 7 can closely contact the medicinal material throughout the grinding process to achieve the best grinding effect. A collection frame 18 is provided on the left side of the medicine grinding wheel 1 to provide the operator with a material collection container so that the operator can collect the medicinal powder.

[0023] When using this device to grind Chinese medicine, first manually lift the grinding wheel 7 so that it rises along the guide groove of the guide frame 4. During this process, the sliding plate 5 moves upward under pressure and compresses the first elastic element 6. Then, place the Chinese medicine in the center of the grinding groove and release the grinding wheel 7. Under the action of the first elastic element 6, the sliding plate 5 applies appropriate pressure to the grinding wheel 7 to ensure that the grinding wheel 7 is in close contact with the medicine. Then, start the electric slide rail 3. The electric slide rail 3 drives the grinding wheel 7 to reciprocate along the length of the grinding groove to achieve uniform grinding. Compared with traditional Chinese medicine pulverizers, this device uses mechanical drive instead of high-speed rotation and cutting during the grinding process, which reduces the impact of machine heat on the effective components of heat-sensitive Chinese medicine, thereby better protecting the effective components and efficacy of the medicine, while ensuring grinding efficiency.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The grinding trough of the medicine mortar 1 is equipped with a metal guide plate 8, which is designed to fit the shape of the grinding trough and is used to conduct heat out of the grinding trough. A circulation pipe 9 is installed on the back of the metal guide plate 8. The circulation pipe 9 is arranged in a serpentine pattern. The medicine mortar 1 is equipped with a water pump 10 and a liquid storage tank 11. The liquid storage tank 11 is filled with coolant. The input end of the water pump 10 is connected to one end of the liquid storage tank 11, and the output end is connected to one end of the circulation pipe 9. The other end of the circulation pipe 9 is connected to the other end of the liquid storage tank 11, forming a closed loop.

[0025] During the grinding process of the grinding wheel 7, the water pump 10 is started to extract the coolant from the storage tank 11 and send it into the circulation pipe 9. The coolant flows along the serpentine circulation pipe 9, and the circulation pipe 9 exchanges heat with the grinding trough through the contact metal guide plate 8 to effectively cool the grinding trough. This avoids the temperature of the grinding trough from rising due to the heat generated during the grinding process, and thus indirectly protects the Chinese medicinal materials from heat damage. The coolant that has absorbed the heat then returns to the storage tank 11 through the circulation pipe 9, thus completing one cooling cycle for continued use.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 Two guide frames 4 are jointly fixed to two mounting frames 12, which are located on the left and right sides of the guide frame 4, respectively. Scraper plates 13 are slidably mounted on the mounting frames 12. The main function of the scraper plates 13 is to push the medicinal materials on both sides of the grinding groove towards the middle area during the grinding process of the grinding wheel 7, so that the grinding wheel 7 can grind more evenly. A guide rod 14 is fixed to the scraper plate 13, and the guide rod 14 slides through the mounting frame 12, thereby precisely guiding the scraper plate 13 to ensure it follows a predetermined trajectory. For stable movement, a second elastic element 15 is sleeved on the guide rod 14. The two ends of the second elastic element 15 are respectively connected to the scraper 13 and the mounting bracket 12. The second elastic element 15 provides the necessary elastic support for the scraper 13, ensuring that the scraper 13 always maintains appropriate contact pressure with the grinding groove surface. A brush 16 is provided on the side of the mounting bracket 12 near the grinding wheel 7. The bristles of the brush 16 are tightly structured with the grinding wheel 7 to clean the medicinal residues adhering to the surface of the grinding wheel 7 and prevent the medicinal materials from adhering to the grinding wheel 7 and affecting the grinding effect.

[0027] When the grinding wheel 7 moves from left to right to perform the grinding operation, the scraper 13 on the left side automatically adjusts to an appropriate height and makes close contact with the grinding groove due to the action of the second elastic element 15. In this way, during the operation of the grinding wheel 7, the scraper 13 on the left side can push the Chinese medicinal materials on the left side of the grinding groove to the middle position, so that the grinding wheel 7 can further grind them. Similarly, when the grinding wheel 7 moves from right to left, the scraper 13 on the right side will repeat the above action, pushing the Chinese medicinal materials on the right side of the grinding groove to the middle. Through the continuous back-and-forth movement of the grinding wheel 7, the scrapers 13 on both sides continuously push the Chinese medicinal materials on both sides of the grinding groove to the central area, ensuring that the medicinal materials are evenly distributed and effectively ground throughout the grinding process.

[0028] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
