Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical equipment technology, specifically to a processing equipment for Chinese medicinal herbs. Background Technology

[0002] Prepared Chinese medicinal materials are Chinese medicinal materials that have been processed according to the theories and methods of traditional Chinese medicine. They can be used directly in clinical practice. Processing can eliminate or reduce the toxicity, potency and side effects of the drugs, making the drugs clean and convenient for preparation, storage and administration.

[0003] At present, in the process of preparing Chinese herbal beverages, it is necessary to soak the Chinese herbs to be prepared in the juice of some medicines (such as Evodia rutaecarpa or Polygala tenuifolia) to reduce the irritation or potency of the Chinese herbs.

[0004] Currently, the traditional natural soaking method is still used when soaking Chinese medicinal materials. Some medicinal materials that float on the water surface cannot be fully soaked in the water, resulting in poor soaking effect and affecting the processing quality of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0005] The authorized announcement number CN217724110U is a kind of equipment for processing Chinese medicinal materials. The equipment uses a movable rod to drive the screen plate to move up and down reciprocally. When the screen plate moves down, it can press the Chinese medicinal materials floating on the water surface into the soaking solution, preventing the Chinese medicinal materials from floating on the soaking solution, thereby further improving the soaking effect and ensuring the processing quality of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0006] However, defects were found during the use of the device. When the Chinese medicine inside the shell was taken out, the liquid contained Chinese medicinal herbs and dregs, which was not convenient for the user to drink directly. Moreover, after the liquid was taken out, the Chinese medicinal herbs and dregs accumulated at the bottom of the shell, which was not easy to clean.

[0007] Therefore, a processing equipment for Chinese medicinal herbs is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a processing device for Chinese medicinal herbs, which prevents the Chinese medicinal herbs from floating on the water surface and has a stirring function, thereby improving the quality of processing Chinese medicinal herbs; through the filter cylinder, the medicinal liquid is prevented from containing Chinese medicinal herbs and dregs, and at the same time, it is easy to clean the Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a processing device for Chinese medicinal herbs, comprising a processing cylinder, the processing cylinder being hollow and horizontally arranged; a filter cylinder being disposed inside the processing cylinder, the filter cylinder being hollow and open at one end, and the central axis of the processing cylinder and the central axis of the filter cylinder being on the same axis; a through groove being formed at the open end of the processing cylinder facing the filter cylinder, and a sealing cover adapted to the through groove being disposed on the processing cylinder, the sealing cover covering the through groove; a support being used to support and adjust the tilt angle of the processing cylinder; and an addition port and a drain pipe being respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the processing cylinder.

[0010] To achieve a stirring effect on the medicinal herbs inside the filter cylinder, a preferred embodiment of the medicinal herb processing equipment of this invention features a ring-shaped guide sleeve on the outer wall of the filter cylinder at the open end. A guide rail, adapted to the guide sleeve, is installed inside the processing cylinder. The guide sleeve is located within a groove in the guide rail. A rotating groove is formed on the side of the processing cylinder away from the guide rail, and the other end of the filter cylinder is located within the rotating groove. A motor is installed on the side of the processing cylinder away from the sealing cover, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the filter cylinder via a rotating shaft.

[0011] To facilitate the handling of the processed medicinal liquid, the preferred embodiment of the medicinal herb processing equipment of this utility model includes a drain pipe comprising a longitudinal drain pipe, a transverse drain pipe, a valve, a filter plate, and a connecting cover. The longitudinal drain pipe is vertically positioned at the bottom of the processing cylinder, the transverse drain pipe is horizontally connected to the longitudinal drain pipe, the valve is positioned on the transverse drain pipe, the filter plate is located above the transverse drain pipe and inside the longitudinal drain pipe and is attached to the inner wall of the longitudinal drain pipe, the connecting cover is threaded onto the outer wall of the lower end of the longitudinal drain pipe, and a connecting rod is vertically positioned between the filter plate and the connecting cover.

[0012] To facilitate adjustment of the tilt angle of the processing cylinder, as a preferred embodiment of the processing equipment for Chinese medicinal materials according to this utility model, the support includes a base, a lifting device, and support legs; the lifting device and support legs are arranged in groups and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the base, and the output end of the lifting device and the upper end of the support legs are arranged on the processing cylinder.

[0013] To facilitate the selection of lifting devices, the preferred lifting device for the processing equipment of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces of this utility model is an electric telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, or a hydraulic telescopic rod.

[0014] To facilitate viewing the processing conditions inside the processing tube, a preferred embodiment of this invention's processing equipment for Chinese medicinal herbs is provided with a viewing window on the processing tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention allows for easy addition of processed Chinese medicinal herbs into the filter cylinder by opening the sealing cover on the through groove, activating the lifting device, and tilting the processing cylinder. After closing the sealing cover, the processing liquid is added into the processing cylinder. The filter cylinder is positioned in the center of the processing cylinder, ensuring that the Chinese medicinal herbs are completely submerged in the liquid. This prevents the herbs that float on the surface from being completely submerged during soaking, thus further improving the soaking effect.

[0017] Furthermore, when the motor is started, the filter cylinder rotates, and the Chinese medicinal herbs inside the filter cylinder rotate synchronously under the action of centrifugal force, which makes it easier to stir the Chinese medicinal herbs inside the filter cylinder and can improve the quality of the Chinese medicinal herbs processing.

[0018] Due to the limitations of the filter cartridge, the drain pipe should be opened to prevent the liquid from containing Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0019] When cleaning and replacing the processed Chinese medicinal herbs, open the sealed cover and adjust the processing cylinder by using the bracket to lower the open end of the filter cylinder. This makes it easier for the Chinese medicinal herbs to slide automatically towards the open side of the filter cylinder, facilitating the cleaning of the Chinese medicinal herbs and enhancing the practicality of the equipment.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3A processing device for traditional Chinese medicinal materials includes a processing cylinder 1, which is hollow and horizontally positioned; a filter cylinder 2 is installed inside the processing cylinder 1, which is also hollow and open at one end, with the central axis of the processing cylinder 1 and the central axis of the filter cylinder 2 on the same axis; a through groove 3 is provided at the open end of the processing cylinder 1 facing the filter cylinder 2, and a sealing cover 4 adapted to the through groove 3 is provided on the processing cylinder 1, covering the through groove 3; a bracket 7 is used to support and adjust the tilt angle of the processing cylinder 1; an addition port 5 and a drain pipe 6 are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the processing cylinder 1.

[0025] In this embodiment: Rotating the sealing cap 4 on the through groove 3 facilitates the transfer of processed Chinese medicinal herbs into the filter cylinder 2; and to prevent the herbs from falling out during transfer, the processing cylinder 1 is tilted using the bracket 7, raising the open end of the filter cylinder 2 to prevent the herbs from falling out; after adding the herbs, the sealing cap 4 is closed onto the through groove 3; the cap on the adding port 5 is opened to add liquid (such as water, honey, wine, rice water, etc.) to the processing cylinder 1. The herbs, confined within the filter cylinder 2, are protected from spillage. When soaking medicinal herbs, those floating on the water surface cannot be fully submerged. Meanwhile, the filter cylinder 2, positioned at the center of the processing cylinder 1, ensures the herbs are completely submerged below the liquid level, improving the processing quality. Furthermore, when draining the liquid after processing, no herbs are mixed in. Additionally, when cleaning and replacing the processed herbs, the sealing cover 4 is opened, and the processing cylinder 1 is tilted via the bracket 7, lowering the open end of the filter cylinder 2. This allows the herbs to automatically slide towards the open side of the filter cylinder 2, facilitating cleaning and enhancing the equipment's practicality.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a guide sleeve 8 with an annular structure is provided on the outer wall of the filter cylinder 2 facing the open end. A guide rail 9 adapted to the guide sleeve 8 is provided inside the processing cylinder 1. The guide sleeve 8 is located in the groove of the guide rail 9.

[0027] In this embodiment: during processing, the motor 11 is started and the filter cylinder 2 rotates. At the same time as the filter cylinder 2 rotates, the Chinese medicinal materials in the filter cylinder 2 also rotate synchronously under the action of centrifugal force, which makes it easier to stir the Chinese medicinal materials in the filter cylinder 2 and improves the quality of processing. Moreover, when the filter cylinder 2 rotates, it is restricted by the rotating groove 10 and the guide slide rail 9 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the filter cylinder 2.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drain pipe 6 includes a longitudinal drain pipe 12, a transverse drain pipe 13, a valve 14, a filter plate 15, and a connecting cover 16; the longitudinal drain pipe 12 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the processing cylinder 1, the transverse drain pipe 13 is horizontally connected to the longitudinal drain pipe 12, the valve 14 is arranged on the transverse drain pipe 13, the filter plate 15 is located above the transverse drain pipe 13 and inside the longitudinal drain pipe 12 and is attached to the inner wall of the longitudinal drain pipe 12, the connecting cover 16 is threaded onto the outer wall of the lower end of the longitudinal drain pipe 12, and a connecting rod 17 is vertically arranged between the filter plate 15 and the connecting cover 16.

[0029] In this embodiment: When the valve 14 on the horizontal pipe 13 is opened, the liquid medicine in the processing cylinder 1 can be easily taken out. When the liquid medicine flows outward, it first passes through the filter plate 15 to avoid the presence of Chinese medicine residue in the liquid medicine (the Chinese medicine residue filtered by the filter plate 15 falls from the filter hole of the filter cylinder 2). After the liquid medicine in the processing cylinder 1 is drained, the connecting cover 16 is opened and the filter plate 15 is pulled out from the vertical pipe 12. This not only makes it easy to clean the filter plate 15, but also makes it convenient to clean the residue inside the processing cylinder 1 (when cleaning the residue inside the processing cylinder 1, the processing cylinder 1 can be tilted to facilitate quick slag discharge).

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the support 7 includes a base 18, a lifting device 19, and a support leg 20; the lifting device 19 and the support leg 20 are arranged in groups and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the base 18, and the output end of the lifting device 19 and the upper end of the support leg 20 are arranged on the processing cylinder 1.

[0031] In this embodiment: by activating the lifting device 19, the tilt angle of the processing cylinder 1 can be easily adjusted; the output end of the lifting device 19 and the upper end of the support leg 20 are both movably connected to the processing cylinder 1, the bottom of the lifting device 19 is movably mounted on the base 18, and the lower end of the support leg 20 is fixed on the base 18.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the lifting device 19 is an electric telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, or a hydraulic telescopic rod.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting device 19 can be an electric telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, or a hydraulic telescopic rod.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a viewing window 21 is provided on the processing tube 1.

[0035] In this embodiment: when adding the processing liquid, the liquid level can be directly viewed through the viewing window 21; and after processing for a period of time, the processing status inside the processing cylinder 1 can also be directly viewed through the viewing window 21.

[0036] Working principle: First, open the sealing cover 4 on the through groove 3 by rotating the handle, start the lifting device 19, and adjust the processing cylinder 1 to tilt, raising the open end of the filter cylinder 2 to facilitate the feeding of Chinese herbal medicine pieces into the filter cylinder 2. After the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are placed, close the sealing cover 4 to the through groove 3, open the cover on the adding port 5, and add the liquid for processing the Chinese herbal medicine pieces into the processing cylinder 1. The filter cylinder 2 is set in the center of the processing cylinder 1 to ensure that the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are completely submerged in the liquid. During processing, start the motor 11, and the filter cylinder 2 rotates, while the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the filter cylinder 2... While the filter cylinder 2 rotates, it also rotates synchronously under the action of centrifugal force, which makes it easy to stir the Chinese medicinal materials inside the filter cylinder 2 and improve the quality of the Chinese medicinal materials processing. When taking the medicine liquid from the processing cylinder 1, the valve 14 is opened and the medicine liquid is discharged from the horizontal pipe 13 through the filter plate 15 to avoid the medicine liquid containing Chinese medicinal residue. When cleaning and replacing the Chinese medicinal materials after processing, the sealing cover 4 is opened and the processing cylinder 1 is adjusted to tilt through the bracket 7, so that the open end of the filter cylinder 2 is lowered, which makes it easy for the Chinese medicinal materials to slide automatically towards the open side of the filter cylinder 2, making it easy to clean the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
