[0042] The advantages of the units working together via electrical signals in this embodiment are: modularity (each unit is responsible for a specific function (such as switching, delay, overload protection, etc.), and coordination via electrical signals enables division of labor and simplifies the system); high reliability (each unit works independently via electrical signals, limiting the impact of a fault to a local area and avoiding global paralysis); strong isolation (relays have electrical isolation characteristics, separating the control circuit from the controlled circuit, improving safety. When multiple relays work together, fault propagation can be avoided, enhancing the overall system safety); easy scalability (relay units can be added, removed, or adjusted as needed without redesigning the entire system); precise control and rapid response (multiple relays can operate in a time-sharing or distributed manner, avoiding current surges caused by simultaneous switching and protecting equipment. The fast transmission speed of electrical signals enables rapid response, suitable for high-frequency switching applications).

[0043] In this embodiment, the switch signal feedback unit 4 consists of a sensor, a signal processing circuit, and a signal transmission module, which are purchased from Omron and have models NY2N-GS and H3Y 30S, respectively; the radar monitoring device 3 is purchased from Hikvision and has the model DS-TMG034.

[0044] In this embodiment, the electrical signal can be, for example, a digital signal, an analog signal, or a high-frequency signal. The electrical signal control in this application belongs to conventional automation control, which can be implemented by those skilled in the art using a PLC, relays, or a microcontroller. The coordination of electrical signals enables efficient communication and coordinated operation between various units, thereby ensuring the automation and reliability of the entire purging operation process.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the first control panel 6 includes a power indicator, a purge operation indicator, a manual start indicator, a rotary switch (with manual, automatic, and stop options), and an emergency stop button (the first control panel 6 can control the purge duration and purge end).

Each air shower pipe 22 is provided with multiple nozzles 221, with a spacing of 0.5-1.5m, optionally 0.5-1m or 1-1.5m. In a preferred embodiment, the nozzles 221 are Venturi nozzles, with three nozzles 221 on each air shower pipe 22. Each air shower pipe 22 is also equipped with a damped, fixed-axis mechanism that can freely adjust and fix the nozzles 221, ensuring that the blowing angle does not change throughout the entire dust removal operation. In a preferred embodiment, the three nozzles 221 of the air shower pipe 22 are spaced 0.48m, 1.33m, and 2.43m above the ground, respectively, which can cover all the required blowing surfaces on the double-layered raw material unpacking box and tray with a blowing height of 2.2m, and the Venturi nozzles can deliver 4kg / cm³ of gas. 2 The compressed air is depressurized and increased to form a large flow of low-pressure purging air, which can improve the purging effect while reducing the risk of damage to the raw drug opening box.

[0049] Continue reading Figure 1-2In this embodiment, each air shower pipe 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the dust removal chamber 1 via a universal joint. In a preferred embodiment, the rear end of each air shower pipe 22 is provided with a universal joint that can be rotated and adjusted. Each air shower pipe 22 can be, for example, a wall-mounted rocker arm type air shower pipe. In the working state, the angle between each air shower pipe 22 and the inner wall of the dust removal chamber 1 is 70-80°, which can be selected as 70-75° or 75-80°; in the working state, the distance between two air shower pipes 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inlet channel 13 is 1-3m, which can be selected as 1-2m or 2-3m. In a preferred embodiment, the air shower pipe 22 is set at 1 / 3 of the length of the inlet passage. Before the blowing operation, the air shower pipe 22 is manually rotated to face the front door 11 and form a 75-degree angle with the inner wall of the dust removal chamber 1. The distance between the corresponding nozzles 221 on the two sides of the air shower pipe 22 after rotation is 2m, which can cover the raw material unpacking box and pallet with a blowing width of 1.1m.

[0050] In this embodiment, the radar monitoring device 3 is located below the gas storage device 21. The distance between the radar monitoring device 3 and the bottom of the dust removal chamber 1 is 0.4-0.6m, optionally 0.4-0.5m or 0.5-0.6m. The detection range of the radar monitoring device 3 (the maximum range at which the radar can detect a target and generate a signal response) is 0.3-6m, optionally 0.3-2m, 2-4m or 4-6m. It is used to detect and identify whether the tray 5 containing the raw medicinal herb box, which enters from the outside in, enters the radar detection area 31. In a preferred embodiment, the radar monitoring device 3 is located between the front door 11 and the blowing unit 2, at a distance of 0.5m from the bottom of the dust removal chamber 1, and its detection range is 0.3-6m.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The process of using this utility model:

[0052] Step 1) The outdoor forklift operator manually opens the front door 11, adjusts the air shower pipe 22 to the appropriate position, and then adjusts the knob on the first control panel 6 to the automatic blowing position.

[0053] Step 2) The outdoor forklift operator transports the pallet 5 containing the raw medicinal materials to the radar detection area 31. After the radar monitoring device 3 detects the pallet entering from the outside, it outputs a signal to the first control panel 6.

[0054] Step 3) After the outdoor forklift operator exits the loading passage 13, they manually close the front door 11. Upon receiving the door-closed signal, the switch signal feedback unit 4 connected to the front door 11 sends a signal to the second control panel 7. After receiving the door-closed feedback signal, the second control panel 7 transmits the door-closed feedback signal to the first control panel 6. Upon receiving the feedback signal, the first control panel 6 outputs a command signal to the solenoid pneumatic valve 211 and activates it. Compressed air is input into the air storage device 21 through the compressed air supply pipe 24. The compressed air in the air storage device 21 is then transmitted to the air shower pipe 22, and the nozzles 221 on the air shower pipe 22 blow-clean the raw material packaging box and pallet, ensuring the removal of foreign matter adhering to the outer surface.

[0055] After step 4) purging is completed, the second control panel 7 controls the rear door 12 to open after a delay (in a preferred embodiment, this is set to 7 seconds, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions). After the indoor forklift operator removes the purged pallet 5 containing the raw herb opening box from the rear door 12, they manually close the rear door 12. Upon receiving the door closing signal, the switch signal feedback unit 4 connected to the rear door 12 outputs a command signal to the second control panel 7, controlling the front door 11 to open, and begins purging the second pallet 5 containing the raw herb opening box, repeating steps 1)-4) into automatic control mode.

[0056] Step 5) After the dust removal operation is completed, turn the knob on the first control panel 6 to the stop blowing position and turn off the automatic blowing device. Finally, return the air shower pipe 22 to the wall position so as not to obstruct passage or other operations.

[0057] In summary, this utility model transforms the original manual dust removal operation in the raw material warehouse's receiving channel into a completely new automatic dust removal chamber, avoiding the health risks to workers caused by manual dust removal. The delayed opening setting of the rear door 12 helps the purifier fully absorb the floating dust generated during dust removal. The automatic dust removal chamber operation achieves the goals of saving manpower and improving efficiency, avoiding the various impacts of this dust removal operation on the health and efficiency of workers. It provides a good model for enterprises to reduce burdens and increase efficiency, which is conducive to the sustainable development of enterprises.

[0058] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
