[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a stirring device for fermentation and purification of traditional Chinese medicine, including a rotating rod 1, a main stirring rod 31 and a secondary stirring rod 4. The top of the rotating rod 1 is installed on the output end of the stirrer and the rotating rod 1 is driven to rotate when the stirrer is started.
[0027] Multiple collars 2 are slidably fitted on the outer ring of the rotating rod 1. The collars 2 can be raised and lowered to adjust their height or spacing. A first bolt 21 is screwed onto the front end of the collar 2. The first bolt 21 passes through the inner side of the collar 2 and abuts against the surface of the rotating rod 1 to lock the height of the collar 2. Sleeves 3 are fixed laterally on both sides of the collar 2. The sleeves 3 will be raised and lowered together with the collar 2 to adjust their height. The front end surface of the rotating rod 1 has grooves 12 evenly opened in the vertical direction. The end of the first bolt 21 abuts against the surface of the rotating rod 1 through the grooves 12. The first bolt 21 abuts against the grooves 12, which can better prevent the collars 2 from sliding down. A limit block 13 is welded and fixed to the bottom end of the rotating rod 1. The diameter of the limit block 13 is larger than the diameter of the rotating rod 1 to prevent the collars 2 from sliding down from the outer ring of the rotating rod 1.
[0028] One end of the main stirring rod 31 is slidably inserted into the sleeve 3. The main stirring rod 31 can slide to adjust its extended length, thereby changing the overall length of the sleeve 3 and the main stirring rod 31. A second bolt 32 is screwed onto the outer surface of the sleeve 3. The second bolt 32 penetrates into the inside of the sleeve 3 and abuts against the surface of the main stirring rod 31, thereby locking the main stirring rod 31.
[0029] In addition, the upper and lower surfaces of the main stirring rod 31 are evenly provided with screw grooves 311, and the bottom of the auxiliary stirring rod 4 is provided with a screw 41 that can be screwed into the screw groove 311. In use, an appropriate number of auxiliary stirring rods 4 can be placed above and below the main stirring rod 31 according to the required density. By screwing the screw 41 into the screw groove 311, the auxiliary stirring rods 4 are installed above or below the main stirring rod 31 at an appropriate density. Other non-standard auxiliary stirring rods 4 can also be used, so that the device can be flexibly adapted to the stirring of Chinese medicine of different sizes or particle sizes.
[0030] Vertical bars 11 are provided on both sides of the rotating rod 1, and slots 22 are provided on both sides of the collar 2. The vertical bars 11 can slide through the collar 2 through the slots 22. When the rotating rod 1 rotates, the collar 2 is rotated by the anti-slip action of the vertical bars 11 and the slots 22.
[0031] It is also equipped with a rubber post 5. The outer ring of the rubber post 5 is threaded so that it can be screwed into the threaded groove 311. Unused threaded grooves 311 can be screwed into the rubber post 5 for sealing and protection. The top of the rubber post 5 is also provided with a cross groove. The rubber post 5 can be easily turned by using a cross screwdriver with the help of the cross groove.
[0032] In use, attach the top of the rotating rod 1 to the output end of the stirrer, loosen the first bolt 21 so that its end no longer abuts in the groove 12, which releases the lock on the collar 2. The collar 2 slides up and down on the outer ring of the rotating rod 1 to adjust the height or vertical distance between the sleeve 3 and the main stirring rod 31. Tighten the first bolt 21 again so that its end abuts in the groove 12 aligned with it, locking the collar 2, its side sleeve 3, and the height of the main stirring rod 31. Loosening the second bolt releases the lock on the main stirring rod 31, and then the extension length of the main stirring rod 31 can be adjusted. Tighten the bolt again... After tightening, the extension length of the main stirring rod 31 can be locked again. Additionally, as needed, the auxiliary stirring rod 4 can be positioned above and below the main stirring rod 31 at a suitable density by screwing the screw 41 into the screw groove 311. Other types of auxiliary stirring rods 4 can also be used. Unused screw grooves 311 can be sealed with rubber columns 5 for protection. After the stirrer is started, it can drive the rotating rod 1 to rotate, which in turn drives the main stirring rod 31 and the auxiliary stirring rod 4 to stir the Chinese herbal raw materials.
