Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece production technical field, especially a kind of intelligent temperature control traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying cabinet. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying cabinet is the equipment specially used for traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying. The structural form of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying cabinet is various, and the common one is box type. The structure is relatively simple, generally suitable for the drying of small batch of medicinal materials, and the working principle of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying cabinet is mainly to evaporate the moisture in medicinal materials by using hot air or other heat source to heat medicinal materials, and then the wet air is discharged through ventilation system, so as to achieve the purpose of drying.

[0003] However, in the prior art, the placing mode of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece in drying cabinet is direct stacking, and the surface of many traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces does not fully contact hot air, so the drying speed is not good, and therefore an intelligent temperature control traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying cabinet is proposed to solve the above problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The utility model aims at solving at least one of the technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one purpose of the utility model is to propose an intelligent temperature control traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying cabinet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the deficiencies existing in the prior art.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, an embodiment of the utility model provides an intelligent temperature control traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying cabinet, which comprises a machine body and a vacuum box, the inside of the machine body comprises a vacuum box, and the upper part of the machine body is movably connected with the box cover of the vacuum box.

[0007] The upper edge of the front of the machine body is provided with a lock catch, and the lock catch can lock the buckle at the front end of the box cover by lifting and then pulling down.

[0008] The inside of the vacuum box is provided with a vacuum pump, and the input end of the vacuum pump is connected with the inside of the vacuum box.

[0009] A reduction motor is installed on the side of the machine body, and the output end of the reduction motor is fixedly connected with a cage through a flange joint.

[0010] The top of the cage is covered with a top cover, and the bottom surface and four side surfaces of the cage are all porous surfaces.

[0011] The top cover itself is a porous structure, and the two sides of the cage are fixedly connected with fixing points.

[0012] Fasteners are inserted into the two sides of the top cover, and the fasteners are threadedly connected with the fixing points to realize the assembly of the top cover and the cage.

[0013] The other side of the cage is movably connected to the inner wall of the vacuum chamber, and several long strip-shaped electric heating columns are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vacuum chamber.

[0014] Preferably, as described in any of the above embodiments, the top surface of the machine body integrates a switch and a digital display screen. The interior of the machine body contains a temperature controller for the heating element.

[0015] The above technical solution is adopted: This device is specifically used for drying Chinese herbal medicine slices, and its main technical means is vacuum drying.

[0016] The intelligent temperature control is achieved through a thermostat consisting of a temperature sensor, a microprocessor, a control panel, and a relay. The temperature sensor is responsible for monitoring the temperature inside the drying chamber in real time and converting it into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the microprocessor. Common temperature sensors include thermistors, which can accurately detect subtle changes in the ambient air temperature.

[0017] Microprocessor: As the "intelligent brain" of the smart temperature control system, it receives real-time temperature signals from the temperature sensor and compares them with the user-preset ideal temperature value. Once it detects that the actual temperature deviates from the set value, the microprocessor will immediately start the control program to maintain a stable indoor temperature by adjusting the power of the heating column.

[0018] Control Panel: Provides a user interface for setting the temperature, selecting the operating mode, and viewing current temperature information. Control panels are typically designed to be intuitive and easy to use.

[0019] Relay: Responsible for controlling the power supply to the heating column, turning the heating column on or off according to the instructions of the microprocessor, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature inside the vacuum chamber.

[0020] Preferably, of any of the above solutions, the geared motor is installed horizontally, and the cage and top cover are made of stainless steel.

[0021] The working principle of vacuum drying of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) slices using the above technical solution is as follows: Open the top cover, place the TCM slices into the cage, then close the top cover and install the fasteners. The fasteners are threadedly connected to the fixing points, and the top cover and cage are assembled. A vacuum pump is used to extract air from the vacuum chamber, creating a certain degree of vacuum. In this vacuum environment, the boiling point of water is greatly reduced, thus the moisture in the TCM slices evaporates rapidly. Vacuum drying is a static drying method, which avoids physical damage to the sample during the drying process. It is particularly suitable for drying heat-sensitive, easily decomposed, easily oxidized substances and items with complex components.

[0022] At the same time, the electric heating column is powered on and located on both sides of the cage, which can ensure that the Chinese herbal medicine slices are heated evenly, thereby accelerating the evaporation process of moisture.

[0023] The core structure of this device consists of a geared motor, a cage, a top cover, fixing points, and fasteners. Its key advantages are: instead of the conventional direct-stacking method of adding medicinal herbs, a geared motor is installed on the outside of the machine. The output of the geared motor is connected to the cage, which rotates under the motor's drive. After the medicinal herbs are loaded into the cage, the top cover is fixed in place. The cage is not filled completely; it is only slightly more than half full. During vacuum drying and electric heating, the medicinal herbs inside the cage circulate and rotate dynamically, increasing the surface area of ​​the herbs in contact with air, thus improving the speed of vacuum and electric drying and increasing the contact efficiency with the drying medium (such as hot air or a vacuum environment). This is more conducive to the evaporation of moisture from the medicinal herbs. The circulating rotation of the cage ensures uniform heating and evaporation of the herbs during the drying process. This helps avoid localized overheating or uneven drying, thereby improving drying quality. Because the medicinal herbs can rotate evenly within the cage, the time difference between different parts of the herbs during the drying process is reduced, resulting in a more consistent overall drying effect.

[0024] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the cage and top cover are located at the center inside the vacuum chamber, and the cage and top cover can rotate freely around the output axis of the geared motor.

[0025] Preferably, the fastener is a hexagonal bolt, as described in any of the above schemes.

[0026] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the heating columns are located on both sides of the cage, and each group of heating columns has at least three columns.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] This intelligent temperature-controlled Chinese herbal medicine drying oven, through the coordinated design of a geared motor, cage, top cover, fixing points, and fasteners, abandons the conventional direct-stacking method of adding Chinese herbal medicine pieces. Instead, a geared motor is installed on the outside of the machine body, and the output end of the geared motor is connected to the cage. The cage can rotate under the drive of the geared motor. After the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are loaded into the cage, the top cover is fixed. The cage is not filled completely, only slightly more than half full. In this way, during vacuum drying and electric heating, the Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside the cage can circulate and rotate dynamically. This increases the surface area of ​​the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in contact with air, improves the speed of vacuum drying and electric heating drying, and increases the contact efficiency with the drying medium (such as hot air or vacuum environment). It is more conducive to the evaporation of moisture from the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. The circulating rotation of the cage ensures uniform heating and evaporation of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces during the drying process. This helps to avoid problems such as local overheating or uneven drying, thereby improving the drying quality. Because the Chinese herbal medicine pieces can rotate evenly inside the cage, the time difference of the pieces in different parts during the drying process is reduced, resulting in a more consistent overall drying effect.

This device is specifically designed for drying traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, primarily using vacuum drying technology. The intelligent temperature control is achieved through a temperature controller comprising a temperature sensor, a microprocessor, a control panel, and a relay. The temperature sensor is responsible for real-time monitoring of the temperature inside the drying chamber and converting it into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the microprocessor. Common temperature sensors include thermistors, which can accurately detect subtle temperature changes in the surrounding air.

[0047] Microprocessor: As the "intelligent brain" of the smart temperature control system, it receives real-time temperature signals from the temperature sensor and compares them with the user-preset ideal temperature value.

Heating columns 11 are located on both sides of the cage 7, and each group of heating columns 11 has at least three columns.

[0051] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0052] Open the top cover 8, place the Chinese herbal medicine slices into the cage 7, then close the top cover 8 and install the fastener 10. The fastener 10 is threadedly connected to the fixing point 9. The top cover 8 and the cage 7 are now assembled. The air inside the vacuum chamber 2 is then extracted using the vacuum pump 5 to create a certain degree of vacuum. Under this vacuum environment, the boiling point of water is greatly reduced, thus the moisture in the Chinese herbal medicine slices evaporates rapidly. Vacuum drying is a static drying method, which avoids physical damage to the sample during the drying process. It is particularly suitable for drying heat-sensitive, easily decomposed, easily oxidized substances and items with complex components.

[0053] At the same time, the electric heating column 11 is powered on and located on both sides of the cage 7, which can ensure that the Chinese herbal medicine slices are heated evenly, thereby accelerating the evaporation process of moisture.

Instead, a geared motor 6 is installed on the outside of the machine body 1, and the output end of the geared motor 6 is connected to the cage 7. The cage 7 can rotate under the drive of the geared motor 6. After the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are loaded into the cage 7, the top cover 8 is fixed on top. The cage 7 is not filled completely, but only slightly more than half full. In this way, during the vacuum drying and electric heating processes, the Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside the cage 7 can circulate and rotate dynamically. This increases the surface area of ​​the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in contact with the air, improves the speed of vacuum drying and electric heating drying, and increases the contact efficiency with the drying medium (such as hot air or a vacuum environment). It is more conducive to the evaporation of moisture from the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. The circulating rotation of the cage 7 ensures that the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are heated and evaporated evenly during the drying process. This helps to avoid problems such as local overheating or uneven drying, thereby improving the drying quality. Because the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be rotated evenly inside the cage 7, the time difference between different parts of the slices during the drying process is reduced, resulting in a more consistent overall drying effect.
