Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece production technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece calcination equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Calcination of Chinese herbal medicines is an important part of the field of Chinese medicine processing. Calcination involves heating the medicine under appropriate temperature conditions to transform its properties into the desired form of processed medicinal slices, altering its original physicochemical properties, enhancing efficacy, and reducing side effects and toxicity. Temperature and time control are crucial during processing, and the medicine must be heated evenly to ensure thorough calcination. Traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment concentrates the medicinal materials inside a rotating drum for heating and calcination. However, when the concentrated medicinal materials stick together during the heating and calcination process, the degree of calcination in some areas may not meet the standards, reducing the quality of the calcined medicinal materials. Furthermore, the calcination process is relatively energy-intensive. Therefore, we have proposed a new equipment for calcining Chinese herbal medicine slices. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A traditional Chinese medicine calcination device includes a calcination chassis 1. A calcination cover plate 2 is bolted to the top of the chassis 1. A support column 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis 1, and a base 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 3, allowing the medicinal materials to be calcined in a closed environment. A circular, rotatable adjusting ring 9 is movably fitted to the bottom of the calcination cover plate 2. The adjusting ring 9 can rotate in a fixed position on the calcination cover plate 2. Multiple overlapping, semi-circular flipping plates 5 are connected to the inner side of the adjusting ring 9 via pins. The flipping plates 5 can rotate in a fixed position on the adjusting ring 9. The rotation of the flipping plates 5 flips the medicinal materials, preventing sedimentation. The cross-section of the flipping plates 5 is arc-shaped, thus allowing the flipping plates 5 to... The rotating and flipping mechanism moves the medicinal herbs upwards and then downwards, ensuring thorough turning of the herbs. A hemispherical, spiral-shaped heating element 6 is installed inside the calcining base 1, allowing for relatively uniform heating of the bottom of the calcining base 1 and guaranteeing the quality of the calcined herbs. A transmission gear 10 is fixedly connected to the overlapping point of the flipping plate 5, passing through an adjusting ring 9. Driven by the transmission gear 10, the flipping plate 5 rotates. A fixed toothed ring 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the calcining base 1, with its top meshing with the transmission gear 10. The rotation of the transmission gear 10, combined with the engagement of the fixed toothed ring 8, causes the transmission gear 10 to drive the adjusting ring 9 to rotate.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The inner sides of the forging base plate 1 and the forging cover plate 2 are spherical. The bottom of the adjusting ring 9 is in contact with the top of the forging base plate 1. The forging base plate 1, the forging cover plate 2 and the inner sides of the adjusting ring 9 form a spherical inner cavity, and the spherical inner cavity can contact the flipping plate 5, so that the flipping plate 5 can smoothly flip the Chinese medicinal materials inside.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The bottom of the forging base 1 is provided with a discharge port, and a screw plug 7 is connected to the inner thread of the discharge port to block the discharge port. The top of the screw plug 7 is in an arc shape that adapts to the inner side of the forging base 1, thereby ensuring the integrity of the spherical shape inside and ensuring the smooth flipping of the flipping plate 5.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A fixed bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting ring 9. The middle of the fixed bracket 11 is spaced apart from the adjusting ring 9, and the transmission gear 10 is located between the fixed bracket 11 and the adjusting ring 9. A drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed bracket 11, so that the drive motor 12 can stably drive the transmission gear 10 and keep it relatively stationary with respect to the adjusting ring 9.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The output shaft of the drive motor 12 is fixed to the center of one side of the transmission gear 10, and the forging cover plate 2 can cover the drive motor 12. At the same time, the drive motor 12 does not contact the forging chassis 1 and the forging cover plate 2. Driven by the output shaft of the drive motor 12, the transmission gear 10 can rotate. The drive motor 12 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0025] In summary, when using this traditional Chinese medicine calcination equipment, the calcination cover plate 2 is bolted onto the calcination base plate 1. Then, the drive motor 12 is started. Driven by the output shaft of the drive motor 12, the transmission gear 10 rotates, and the flipping plate 5 rotates. Under the action of the rotation of the flipping plate 5, the traditional Chinese medicine material is scooped up from the bottom of the calcination base plate 1. Under the action of the arc-shaped structure of the flipping plate 5, the traditional Chinese medicine material is scooped up and carried to the top to fall. The traditional Chinese medicine material is continuously flipped, thus making the calcination of the traditional Chinese medicine material more complete. Under the action of the rotation of the transmission gear 10, it can rotate relative to the adjusting ring 9, which in turn drives the adjusting ring 9 to rotate, and then drives the flipping plate 5 to rotate laterally to adjust its flipping angle.
