Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically to a storage device for Cistanche deserticola products. Background Technology
[0002] Cistanche deserticola is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that parasitizes the roots of desert plants such as Haloxylon ammodendron, relying on its host for nutrients. After maturation, a common processing method involves low-temperature drying or air-drying, followed by slicing. Cistanche deserticola slices are highly sensitive to temperature and humidity, making them prone to mold. To extend shelf life, well-ventilated warehouses are typically used for storage. To prevent ground dampness, warehouses are usually equipped with shelves or a moisture-proof layer on the floor. However, during peak harvest seasons for large-scale production, due to the large quantity, most Cistanche deserticola slices are piled together. This results in poor ventilation at the bottom and inside of the slices, making inspection difficult. Often, by the time mold is discovered, a significant number of slices have already spoiled, leading to substantial economic losses.
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a scientifically designed storage device for Cistanche deserticola products that facilitates the turning of slices, prevents spoilage, and is easy to inspect.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A storage device for Cistanche deserticola products, comprising a support, at least one storage compartment, and a drive motor and a transverse rotating shaft mounted on the support. The drive motor drives the transverse rotating shaft to rotate. The storage compartment includes a compartment body and a top cover. The top cover is detachably mounted at the opening of the compartment body. The belly of the compartment body is fixedly mounted on the transverse rotating shaft. Both the compartment body and the top cover are provided with a plurality of ventilation holes.
[0006] Beneficial effects: The storage chamber is used to store sliced Cistanche deserticola. The ventilation holes facilitate the entry and exit of air into the storage chamber. The drive motor drives the horizontal rotating shaft to rotate, causing the storage chamber to flip and thus turning over the sliced Cistanche deserticola inside, preventing the slices at the bottom and inside from becoming moldy due to poor ventilation.
[0007] Based on the above, the transverse rotating shaft is provided with several agitator blades on the surface of the section passing through the chamber.
[0008] Beneficial effect: The agitator blades can improve the turning effect of the Cistanche deserticola slices when the storage bin is turned over.
[0009] Based on the above, the hopper body is provided with viewing windows on the side walls on both sides of the transverse pivot, on the bottom wall of the hopper body, and on the top cover.
[0010] Beneficial effect: During the rotation of the storage bin, the viewing window allows staff to easily observe whether there is mold on the surface of the Cistanche deserticola slices.
[0011] Based on the above, the edge of the top cover is provided with a plurality of locking screws, and the opening of the compartment body is provided with threaded holes corresponding to each of the locking screws.
[0012] Beneficial effect: The top cover can be easily disassembled by screwing in and out the locking screw.
[0013] Based on the above, each of the locking screws is provided with an operating rod at its operating end, and the bottom of the top cover is provided with a boss corresponding to the opening of the compartment.
[0014] Beneficial effects include the fact that the operating lever makes it convenient for workers to tighten the locking screw, and the protrusion facilitates the alignment of the top cover with the opening of the hopper. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a storage device for Cistanche deserticola products includes a support 1, three storage compartments, a drive motor 2 and a transverse rotating shaft 3 mounted on the support 1. The drive motor 2 drives the transverse rotating shaft 3 to rotate. Each storage compartment includes a compartment body 4 and a top cover 5. The top cover 5 is detachably mounted at the opening of the compartment body 4. The underside of the compartment body 4 is fixedly mounted on the transverse rotating shaft 3. Both the compartment body 4 and the top cover 5 are provided with several ventilation holes 6.
[0020] The drive motor 2 drives the transverse rotating shaft 3 to rotate, causing the storage chamber to flip and thus turning over the Cistanche deserticola slices inside, preventing the slices at the bottom and inside from becoming moldy due to poor ventilation; in order to improve the turning effect of the Cistanche deserticola slices, the transverse rotating shaft 3 is provided with several stirring blades 7 on the surface of the section passing through the chamber body 4.
[0021] To facilitate observation of whether there are signs of mold on the slice surface, the chamber 4 is provided with viewing windows 8 on the side walls on both sides of the transverse rotating shaft 3, on the bottom wall of the chamber 4, and on the top cover 5.
[0022] To facilitate the disassembly of the top cover 5, a plurality of locking screws 9 are provided on the edge of the top cover 5. The opening of the compartment 4 is provided with threaded holes corresponding to each locking screw 9. Each locking screw 9 is provided with an operating rod 10 at its operating end for tightening the locking screw 9. The bottom of the top cover 5 is provided with a boss 11 corresponding to the opening of the compartment 4 for alignment with the opening.
[0023] In practical use, open the top cover 5, pour the Cistanche deserticola slices into the chamber 4, then close the top cover 5 and lock it with multiple locking screws 9. During storage, the storage chamber can be rotated 1-2 times a day. When rotating, start the drive motor 2 to drive the horizontal rotating shaft 3 to rotate, causing the storage chamber to rotate. Under the action of tumbling and stirring blades 7, the Cistanche deserticola slices at the bottom and inside are turned to the upper and outer layers. Several ventilation holes 6 ensure air permeability, thus making the slices less prone to mold. At the same time, during the rotation process, staff can promptly detect signs of mold on the slices through the viewing window 8 and deal with them in time to avoid significant losses. When it is necessary to take them out, open the top cover 5, drive the drive motor 2 to rotate the storage chamber at a certain angle, and pour out the Cistanche deserticola slices.
[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
