Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of earthworm collection technology, specifically a medicinal earthworm collection device. Background Technology
[0002] Earthworms, also known as earthworms, are long, thin, twisted, and not straight. Both ends retain their original shape, with a slightly pointed front and a blunt, rounded tail. Their entire surface is covered with dense segments. The back is brownish-red or grayish-red, while the abdomen is light yellowish-brown. They are light in weight, have thick walls, are brittle, and easily broken, with a white cross-section. Earthworms are an important traditional Chinese medicine, possessing properties that clear heat, calm the nerves, promote blood circulation, relieve asthma, and promote urination. Therefore, the demand for earthworms is relatively high, leading to specialized breeding farms. During collection, an extraction and collection device is used. Before grinding, the earthworms need to be dried to a dry state for easier subsequent processing.
[0003] For example, a device for extracting and collecting earthworms (publication number: CN219264758U) includes a main body, a collection structure at the bottom of the inner wall of the main body, a mounting frame fixed to the other end of the main body, a mounting plate fixed to the inner wall of the mounting frame, a limiting plate fixed to the other side of the mounting plate, a heating tube inside the mounting frame, a fixing plate fixed to the top of the inner wall of the main body, a screen inside the fixing plate, a motor installed at the other end of the main body, an eccentric wheel at the top of the other end of the main body, and a capping structure at the top of the screen. This invention, by setting a drying structure, with the inner diameter of the limiting plate being larger than the outer diameter of the heating tube, allows four sets of limiting plates to limit the heating tube, enabling the heating tube to be installed inside the mounting frame and heating the inside of the main body, thus drying the earthworms extracted from the main body.
[0004] However, the device still has the following drawbacks:
[0005] While this device can effectively dry earthworms, the lack of a mechanism to shake them results in a long drying process and low efficiency. Therefore, we need to propose a medicinal earthworm collection device. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a medicinal earthworm collection device, including an earthworm collection box 1, with fixed shells 2 fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the earthworm collection box 1, and a sieving box 3 arranged between the two sets of fixed shells 2. A perforated cover plate is movably inserted into the top of the sieving box 3, and a spring pin is provided on the top of the sieving box 3. The spring pin can position the perforated cover plate to prevent it from shifting. At the same time, the perforated cover plate can prevent the earthworm from falling off during the sieving process.
[0026] Two sets of linkage components 4 are fixedly connected inside the two sets of fixed shells 2 respectively. The moving ends of the two sets of linkage components 4 are connected to the two sides of the screening box 3 respectively. The inside of the earthworm collection box 1 is equipped with a power component 5 for cooperating with the linkage component 4 to shake the screening box 3. A through groove is opened on one side wall of the earthworm collection box 1. A heating component 6 for drying the earthworm is installed inside the through groove.
[0027] The bottom of the earthworm collection box 1 is equipped with a collection component 7 for collecting the small earthworms that have been sieved out. This utility model can quickly shake the earthworms inside the sieve box 3, so that the earthworms can have more sufficient heat contact with the inside of the earthworm collection box 1 during the drying process, thereby achieving a fast drying effect and further improving the drying efficiency of the earthworms.
[0028] The linkage component 4 includes a fixed rod 401, with its two ends fixedly connected to the inner top and inner bottom of the fixed shell 2, respectively. A movable block 402 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 401. One side of the movable block 402 is fixedly connected to one side of the screening box 3. The movable block 402 can slide along the axial direction of the fixed rod 401.
[0029] It also includes a reset spring 8, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the inner top of the fixed shell 2, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block 402, and the reset spring 8 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed rod 401.
[0030] The power assembly 5 includes a rotating rod 501, with both ends of the rotating rod 501 rotatably mounted on the inner walls of the two sides of the earthworm collection box 1. One end of the rotating rod 501 passes through the earthworm collection box 1 and is connected to a drive motor 502. Two sets of cams 503 are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 501, and the tops of the two sets of cams 503 abut against the bottom of the screening box 3.
[0031] Specifically, the output shaft of the drive motor 502 can drive the rotating rod 501 to rotate, which in turn drives the two sets of cams 503 to rotate, thereby lifting the screening box 3. Then, under the rebound force of the return spring 8, the screening box 3 is quickly lowered. This cycle repeats, which makes the screening box 3 shake up and down quickly, allowing the heat between the earthen duct and the earthen duct collection box 1 to come into more sufficient contact during the drying process, thereby achieving a rapid drying effect and further improving the drying efficiency of the earthen duct.
[0032] The drive motor 502 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the earthworm collection box 1. One end of the output shaft of the drive motor 502 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 501. The drive motor 502 is set as a stepper motor. A stepper motor, also known as a pulse motor, is a type of motor that converts electrical pulse signals into corresponding angular or linear displacement. The stepper motor can precisely control the position and speed of the motor by controlling the number and frequency of current pulses. The operation of the stepper motor is achieved by controlling the pulse current. Therefore, the motor can be controlled by software programming. It has strong programmability and can meet various application requirements.
[0033] The heating component 6 includes a mounting shell 601, which is fixedly installed inside the through groove. Two sets of fans 602 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting shell 601. A heating rod 603 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting shell 601 at the air outlet end of the two sets of fans 602. The heat generated by the heating rod 603 can be blown into the interior of the earthworm collection box 1 by the two sets of fans 602, so as to dry the earthworm inside the screening box 3.
[0034] The collection component 7 includes two sets of fixing blocks 701, which are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the earthworm collection box 1. A collection box 702 is provided on the opposite side of the two sets of fixing blocks 701. A push-pull handle 703 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the collection box 702. When the earthworm is shaken, it is dried. Small and poor-quality earthworms can fall into the collection box 702 through the mesh of the screening box 3 and be collected separately, which can ensure the quality of the earthworms after final processing.
[0035] The two side walls of the collection box 702 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 9 that are adapted to the fixing blocks 701. The two sets of fixing blocks 701 are slidably connected to the inside of the two sets of sliding grooves 9. By setting the sliding grooves 9 and fixing blocks 701 in cooperation, the staff can easily pull out the collection box 702, which makes it easier to clean the floor inside.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
