Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, specifically a medicinal material processing and conveying structure with a drainage function. Background Technology
[0002] The processing of Chinese medicine directly affects its medicinal properties and clinical efficacy. In the context of modern production, Chinese medicinal raw materials need to undergo a series of standardized processing procedures after harvesting, among which the draining process after washing is particularly critical.
[0003] Currently, in the assembly line operations of Chinese medicine processing plants, the surface moisture content of cleaned medicinal materials generally exceeds 40%. If these materials directly enter the drying or slicing process, three prominent problems will arise: First, moisture retention will alter the properties and meridian tropism of the medicinal materials. For example, water accumulation in root and rhizome medicinal materials can easily lead to a deviation in medicinal properties, such as a "thick taste and sinking" effect. Second, the humid environment promotes the growth of microorganisms, causing the microbial limits stipulated in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia to be exceeded. Third, it increases the energy consumption of subsequent drying processes. According to statistics, retaining 1 kg of ineffective moisture will consume an additional 2.8 kW·h of electricity. The existing drainage structures of conveying devices mostly adopt a simple combination of flat mesh belts or vibrating screens, which have technical defects such as uneven drainage, high damage rate of medicinal materials, and easy clogging of drainage holes.
[0004] Based on this, a medicinal material processing and conveying structure with a drainage function is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content
