Detailed Implementation

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4A smart temperature-controlled herbal stir-frying machine includes a shell 1, an inner liner 3 fixed inside the shell 1, a heating wire 4 installed between the inside of the shell 1 and the outer wall of the inner liner 3, a spiral blade assembly 5 rotatably connected in the inner liner 3, a drive device installed on the right side of the spiral blade assembly 5, and a feed pipe 13 connected to the upper right side of the inner liner 3. The drive device includes a driven pulley 6, a driving pulley 7, a belt 8, and a motor 9. The driven pulley 6 is fixed to the right side of the spiral blade assembly 5, the driving pulley 7 is located below the driven pulley 6, and the belt 8 connects the driven pulley 6 and the driving pulley 7. The motor 9 is located on one side of the drive pulley 7. The output shaft of the motor 9 is fixed to the drive pulley 7. The motor 9 is connected to an external power supply and switch. The motor 9 drives the drive pulley 7 to rotate. The drive pulley 7 drives the driven pulley 6 to rotate through the belt 8. The driven pulley 6 drives the spiral blade assembly 5 to rotate. In this way, after the medicinal materials enter the inner liner 3 from the feed pipe 13, the heating wire 4 heats the inside of the inner liner 3, and the inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a heat insulation layer. The spiral blade assembly 5 also transports the medicinal materials. Therefore, the medicinal materials can be transported to the left while being stir-fried.

[0019] Both the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 3 have open ends on the left. A semi-closed cover 12 is fixed to the upper left end of the outer shell 1. A temperature sensor 17 is fixed through the right end of the semi-closed cover 12. The right part of the temperature sensor 17 extends into the upper part of the inner liner 3. A controller 2 is fixedly installed at the front end of the outer shell 1. A conveying pipe 10 is connected to the upper right end of the inner liner 3. A solenoid valve 11 is installed outside the conveying pipe 10. The temperature sensor 17 is signal-connected to the controller 2. The controller 2 is signal-connected to the solenoid valve 11 and the heating wire 4 respectively. After the medicinal material is conveyed to the left to the open end, a device can be installed on the left side of the outer shell 1. A container for collecting medicinal materials is then placed next. The temperature sensor 17 can detect the temperature inside the inner liner 3. When the temperature inside the inner liner 3 is higher than the preset threshold in the controller 2, the controller 2 controls the solenoid valve 11 to open. Since the end of the delivery pipe 10 is connected to a cold air pipe, cold air is input into the inner liner 3 through the delivery pipe 10 and is delivered from right to left inside the inner liner 3 until the temperature of the temperature sensor 17 is lower than the set threshold. Then the controller 2 controls the solenoid valve 11 to close, thus achieving more intelligent temperature control. The temperature sensor 17, controller 2, heating wire 4 and solenoid valve 11 are all externally powered.

[0020] A receiving box 16 communicating with the upper end of the feed pipe 13 is fixed thereto. A feed hopper 15 communicating with the upper right side of the receiving box 16 is fixed thereto. A baffle 18 is slidably connected inside the receiving box 16. Openings are opened on the upper and lower right sides of the receiving box 16, respectively communicating with the feed hopper 15 and the feed pipe 13. The baffle 18 is circular, and its thickness matches the internal height of the receiving box 16. The diameter of the baffle 18 is larger than the diameter of the opening. A sliding rod 19 is fixed to the left end of the baffle 18. A sliding plate 20 is fixed to the left end of the sliding rod 19. Springs 22 are connected to both sides of the left end of the sliding plate 20 and the inner wall of the receiving box 16. A guide block 23 is vertically fixed to the middle of the left end of the sliding plate 20. A guide groove 24 is opened on the left side of the bottom of the receiving box 16. The guide groove 24 extends from the lower part of the guide block 23. A cam 25 is provided below the receiving box 16. The cam 25 is in close contact with the lower right part of the guide block 23. A second motor 14 is fixed to the upper end of the outer shell 1 below the cam 25. The output end of the second motor 14 is connected to a motor shaft 2. 6. The upper part of the motor shaft 26 is fixed to the cam 25. When feeding through the feed pipe 13, the cam 25 is driven to rotate by the motor 24. The motor 24 is connected to an external power supply and switch, causing the protruding part of the cam 25 to push against the guide block 23 and move to the left along the guide groove 24. At the same time, the guide block 23 drives the slide plate 20 to move to the left. The slide plate 20 will squeeze the spring 22 and drive the baffle 18 to move away from the upper and lower openings on the right side of the receiving box 16 through the slide rod 19. At this time, the Chinese medicinal materials enter from the feed hopper 15 through the opening and down along the feed pipe 13. In the inner liner 3, when the protruding part of the cam 25 moves away from the guide block 23, the spring 22 pushes the slide plate 20 to the right to reset. The slide plate 20 will then drive the baffle 18 to the right through the slide rod 19 to block between the upper and lower openings on the right side of the receiving box 16. At this time, the Chinese medicinal materials cannot enter the inner liner 3 from the feed hopper 15 through the opening and down along the feed pipe 13. By continuously rotating the cam 25, the baffle 18 blocks the opening and then opens again, so that the Chinese medicinal materials can enter the inner liner 3 evenly, thereby preventing the blockage inside the inner liner 3.

[0021] The inner side of the spring 22 is provided with a T-shaped guide rod 21. The left part of the guide rod 21 is fixed to the receiving box 16, and the right part of the guide rod 21 is movably connected to the slide plate 20. When the slide plate 20 moves left and right, the guide rod 21 can guide the slide plate 20.
