Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of crushers for processing Chinese herbal medicines, specifically a crusher for processing Chinese herbal medicines. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is mainly composed of plant-based medicines (roots, stems, leaves, and fruits), animal-based medicines (internal organs, skin, bones, and other organs), and mineral-based medicines. Because plant-based medicines make up the majority of TCM, it is also called Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese herbal medicine is a type of agricultural product. Processing Chinese herbal medicine promotes its versatility. However, existing Chinese herbal medicine crushers cause some herbal waste to scatter when crushing herbs, resulting in some waste. At the same time, the crushed herbs need to be cleaned up manually, which consumes a lot of time. To avoid such problems, a Chinese herbal medicine crusher with a protective structure and the ability to quickly output Chinese herbal medicine has been designed.

[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 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a crusher for processing traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a support frame 1, a threaded rod 2, a first bevel gear 3, a second bevel gear 4, a first transmission rod 5, a first motor 6, a support plate 7, a pestle 8, a first spring 9, a cam 10, a second transmission rod 11, a second motor 12, a mounting cover 13, a mortar 14, a slot 15, a hook rod 16, a fixing rod 17, a second spring 18, a third spring 19, a locking block 20, a mounting groove 21, a locking groove 22, a sliding block 23, and a fourth spring 24.

[0026] When the height of the crushing device needs to be adjusted, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first bevel gear 3 is provided at the lower end of the threaded rod 2, and a second bevel gear 4 is connected to the lower end of the first bevel gear 3. A first transmission rod 5 is provided inside the second bevel gear 4, and a first motor 6 is installed at the left end of the first transmission rod 5. A support plate 7 is connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 2, and a pestle 8 and a first spring 9 are installed in the middle of the support plate 7. The first spring 9 is located on the outer side of the middle of the pestle 8. A cam 10 is provided at the upper end of the pestle 8, and a second transmission rod 11 is provided in the middle of the cam 10. A second motor 12 is installed at the left end of the second transmission rod 11. First, the first motor 6 is started, which drives the second bevel gear 4 to rotate through the first transmission rod 5. The upper end of the second bevel gear 4 is connected to the first bevel gear 3 by meshing. Therefore, the second bevel gear 4 drives the threaded rod 2 to rotate through the first bevel gear 3. When the threaded rod 2 rotates, it drives the support plate 7 to move downward as a whole, so that the mounting cover 13 is finally attached to the upper end of the mortar 14 and the movement stops. This is the way to adjust the height of the crushing device.

[0027] When using a crusher for processing Chinese herbal medicines, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a mortar 14 is provided at the lower end of the mounting cover 13, and grooves 15 are provided on the left and right sides of the mortar 14. A hook rod 16 is connected inside the grooves 15, and a fixing rod 17 is provided at the right end of the hook rod 16. A second spring 18 is provided at the right end of the fixing rod 17. A third spring 19 and a locking block 20 are provided on the left and right sides of the lower end of the mortar 14, and the locking block 20 is located on the left and right sides of the third spring 19. A mounting groove 21 is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the mortar 14. The inner wall of the mortar 14 has slots 22 on both sides. Sliding blocks 23 and a fourth spring 24 are located inside the left and right sides of the mounting slot 21, with the fourth spring 24 positioned outside the middle of the sliding block 23. First, Chinese herbal medicine is placed inside the mortar 14, and the crushing device is inserted inside the mortar 14. The mounting cover 13 is fitted to the upper end of the mortar 14. To ensure the position of the mounting cover 13, the hook rod 16 drives the fixing rod 17 to slide towards the middle of the mounting cover 13, causing the hook rod 16 to move downwards. The end of the mortar 14 is inserted through the slot 15 and engaged internally, allowing the mounting cover 13 to be fixed to the upper end of the mortar 14. When the second motor 12 is started, it drives the cam 10 to rotate via the second transmission rod 11. The convex surface of the cam 10 intermittently contacts the upper end of the pestle 8, causing the lower end of the pestle 8 to crush the Chinese herbal medicine inside the mortar 14. The mounting cover 13 prevents the herbs from splashing. When the Chinese herbal medicine inside the mortar 14 is crushed and needs to be cleaned, the mounting cover 13 is removed from the upper end of the mortar 14. The previous operation is repeated, and the crushing device is raised. At this time, the sliding blocks 23 on both sides of the mounting groove 21 can slide into the mounting groove 21 to press the fourth spring 24. When the sliding blocks 23 move, they press the locking block 20 inside the locking groove 22 into the bottom of the mortar 14 until the locking block 20 disengages from the inside of the locking groove 22. Then the mortar 14 can be removed from the inside of the mounting groove 21. This is the method of using the crusher for processing Chinese herbal medicine.
