Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sterilization equipment for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and in particular to a sterilization device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Prepared Chinese medicinal herbs are Chinese medicinal materials that have been processed and prepared according to the theories and methods of traditional Chinese medicine and can be directly used in clinical practice.

[0003] During the production of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces, they need to undergo cleaning and sterilization. A common sterilization method involves pouring the TCM decoction pieces into a sterilization device and then using a heated airflow system to sterilize them at high temperatures. However, the TCM decoction pieces accumulate inside the device, and hot air alone cannot move them. This results in uneven heating, requiring prolonged hot air circulation to ensure complete sterilization, leading to low sterilization efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0018] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] This application discloses a sterilization device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system includes an installation box 1, with a feeding port 11 at the top and a discharge port 12 at the bottom. An installation barrel 2 is rotatably mounted inside the installation box 1 below the feeding port 11. The shaft of the installation barrel 2 is horizontal. A first driving component 3 is provided on the installation box 1 to drive the installation barrel 2 to rotate. A feeding port is provided on the side wall of the installation barrel 2, and a cover plate 4 is provided at the feeding port. A hot air box 5 for supplying high-temperature gas is provided on the outside of the installation box 1. The hot air box 5 is connected to the inside of the installation barrel 2 via a connector 6. Multiple first air holes 21 are provided on the side wall of the installation barrel 2 and the cover plate 4.

[0020] In this embodiment, the first driving component 3 drives the installation barrel 2 to rotate and align the feed inlet with the upper feeding port 11. Then, the operator pours the Chinese herbal medicine slices into the installation barrel 2 through the feeding port 11. Next, the feed inlet is closed by the cover plate 4, and the hot air box 5 is activated. High-temperature gas is then introduced into the installation barrel 2 through the connecting component 6 for high-temperature sterilization. During the gas introduction process, the first driving component 3 drives the installation barrel 2 to rotate, continuously turning the Chinese herbal medicine slices inside. This Chinese herbal medicine slice sterilization device allows the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the installation barrel 2 to continuously rotate during high-temperature sterilization, resulting in uniform heating of the slices and improving the sterilization efficiency.

[0021] Specifically, the first driving component 3 includes a drive motor, which is mounted on the outer wall of the mounting box 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the mounting barrel 2.

[0022] Specifically, the connector 6 includes a connecting pipe 61, one end of which is connected to the hot air box 5, and the other end of which is coaxially inserted into the mounting barrel 2 and rotatably connected to the mounting barrel 2. Multiple second air holes 611 are provided on the outer wall of the pipe section of the connecting pipe 61 located inside the mounting barrel 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the hot air box 5 is activated, and the generated high-temperature gas can enter the connecting pipe 61 and be discharged into the installation tank 2 through the second air hole 611, so as to sterilize the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the installation tank 2 at high temperature.

[0024] Furthermore, the cover plate 4 is slidably disposed at the feed inlet along the axial direction of the mounting barrel 2. A first sliding groove 22 for sliding the cover plate 4 is provided on the inner wall of the feed inlet, and a first handle 41 is welded onto the cover plate 4. A first baffle 7 is horizontally slidably disposed on one inner wall of the mounting box 1 above the mounting barrel 2 to abut against the first handle 41 to close the feed inlet. A second baffle 8 is horizontally slidably disposed on the other inner wall of the mounting box 1 below the mounting barrel 2 to abut against the first handle 41 to open the feed inlet. The mounting box 1 is provided with a second driving member 71 for driving the first baffle 7 to move and a third driving member 81 for driving the second baffle 8 to move.

[0025] After the Chinese herbal medicine slices have been sterilized at high temperature, the first driving component 3 drives the installation tank 2 to rotate and aligns the cover plate 4 with the lower discharge port 12. Then, the third driving component 81 drives the second baffle 8 to move and contact the first handle 41, thereby moving the cover plate 4 and opening the feed port on the installation tank 2 to discharge the Chinese herbal medicine slices. Next, the second baffle 8 resets, and the first driving component 3 drives the installation tank 2 to rotate and align the feed port with the upper feed port, allowing new Chinese herbal medicine slices to be filled into the installation tank 2 again. After the Chinese herbal medicine slices are filled, the second driving component 71 drives the first baffle 7 to move and contact the first handle 41, thereby moving the cover plate 4 and closing the feed port on the installation tank 2. This Chinese herbal medicine slice sterilization device eliminates the need for workers to reach into the installation tank 1 to move the cover plate 4 to open / close the feed port, reducing labor intensity and preventing burns to workers' hands.

[0026] Specifically, the second driving component 71 includes a first cylinder, which is located on one side of the mounting box 1, and the piston rod of the first cylinder moves into the interior of the mounting box 1 and is bolted to the first baffle 7. The third driving component 81 includes a second cylinder, which is located on the other side of the mounting box 1, and the piston rod of the second cylinder moves into the interior of the mounting box 1 and is bolted to the second baffle 8.

[0027] Reference Figure 4It also includes multiple ultraviolet lamps 9 for irradiation sterilization. A conveyor 10 for transporting Chinese herbal medicine slices is provided below the discharge port 12 of the installation box 1. An installation frame 20 is provided on the conveyor 10 at one end away from the discharge port 12 of the installation box 1. Multiple ultraviolet lamps 9 are arranged at intervals on the inner top wall of the installation frame 20 along the transport direction of the conveyor 10.

[0028] In this embodiment, the Chinese herbal medicine slices after high-temperature sterilization can be discharged through the discharge port 12 onto the conveyor 10 below. When the slices pass through the mounting frame 20, they can be sterilized by ultraviolet light 9, which further improves the sterilization effect on the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0029] Furthermore, the conveyor 10 is equipped with a leveling mechanism 30 for leveling the Chinese herbal medicine slices. The leveling mechanism 30 includes a limiting frame 301 and a limiting plate 302. The limiting frame 301 is located on the conveyor 10 below the discharge port 12. The limiting plate 302 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor 10 and is vertically slidably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the limiting frame 301. A gap is left between the limiting plate 302 and the upper surface of the conveyor 10 for the Chinese herbal medicine slices to pass through. The limiting frame 301 is equipped with limiting components for restricting the movement of the limiting plate 302.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the Chinese herbal medicine slices fall onto the upper transport surface of the conveyor 10, they tend to pile up too high. The operator can adjust the gap between the limiting plate 302 and the upper transport surface of the conveyor 10 so that the piled Chinese herbal medicine slices can be flattened when passing through the gap, so that they can be evenly irradiated and sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 9, thereby further improving the sterilization effect on the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0031] Specifically, the limiting component includes a limiting screw 40. The inner walls on both sides of the limiting frame 301 are provided with second sliding grooves 3011 for the limiting plate 302 to slide. The limiting screw 40 is threaded to the inner wall of the second sliding groove 3011 and moves against the side wall of the limiting plate 302. A second handle is welded to one end of the limiting screw 40.

[0032] In this application, a threaded hole with a size adapted to the limiting screw 40 is provided through the inner wall of the second slide groove 3011. The limiting screw 40 is threaded into the threaded hole and then moves to abut against the side wall of the limiting plate 302.

[0033] The implementation principle of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction piece sterilization device in this application embodiment is as follows: The first driving component 3 drives the installation tank 2 to rotate and align the inlet with the upper feeding port 11; then, the operator pours TCM decoction pieces into the installation tank 2 through the feeding port 11; next, the inlet is closed by the cover plate 4, and the hot air box 5 is activated, and high-temperature gas is introduced into the installation tank 2 through the connecting component 6 for high-temperature sterilization; during the gas introduction process, the first driving component 3 drives the installation tank 2 to rotate, continuously turning the TCM decoction pieces inside the tank. The TCM decoction pieces inside the installation tank 2 can continuously rotate during the high-temperature sterilization process, thereby ensuring uniform heating of the TCM decoction pieces inside the tank and improving the sterilization efficiency of the TCM decoction pieces.
