Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Angelica sinensis pulverization technology, specifically an Angelica sinensis root and stem pulverizing device. Background Technology
[0002] Angelica sinensis is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Angelica in the family Apiaceae. Its roots are cylindrical, branched, and yellowish-brown; the stems are erect, greenish-white or purplish, with deep longitudinal grooves; the leaves are pinnately divided, purple or green, and ovate; the flowers are white, with pedicels densely covered in fine hairs, petals oblong-ovate, and a conical styla base. Flowering occurs from June to July. The fruit is elliptical to ovate, with pale purple wing margins, and fruiting occurs from July to September.
[0003] Angelica sinensis is widely used in the medical field. When used in the medical field, Angelica sinensis is usually pulverized. Most existing pulverizing devices pulverize Angelica sinensis directly with pulverizing blades. However, Angelica sinensis has hard root nodules in its rhizomes. If the root nodules are used to pulverize directly, they will damage the blades, thus affecting the normal use of the pulverizing device. Therefore, a more advanced pulverizing device is needed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an Angelica sinensis root and stem pulverizing device, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

Below the feed hole, a first roller and a second roller are rotatably mounted between the two sides of the inner wall of the main body. The first roller and the second roller are symmetrical. The surface of the first roller has multiple equally spaced annular grooves. The surface of the second roller is fixedly fitted with multiple rings that are adapted to the annular grooves. Below the second roller, a hopper is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the main body. The bottom of the hopper is open. Below the hopper, a partition is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the main body. A pulverizing tube is inserted through the top surface of the partition. A pulverizing mechanism is installed inside the pulverizing tube to pulverize the Angelica sinensis that passes through the hopper. A through groove is located on the front of the main body below the partition. A matching collection drawer is slidably inserted into the through groove. A sealing mechanism is installed inside the collection drawer to seal the bottom of the pulverizing tube. A housing is fixedly mounted on one side of the main body. A driving mechanism is installed inside the housing to drive the first roller and the second roller.
[0007] Preferably, the crushing mechanism includes four crossbars fixedly installed on the inner wall of the crushing tube. The four crossbars are arranged in a ring, and a second drive motor is fixedly installed between the four crossbars. A rotating rod is fixedly installed on the output end of the second drive motor. Two sets of crushing blades are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod, and each set of crushing blades consists of four crushing blades with the same structure.
[0008] Preferably, a semi-circular cover is fixedly installed on the top of the second drive motor, and the top surface of the crossbar is inclined.
[0009] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a cylinder fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the collection drawer, a lifting plate adapted to the collection drawer is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder, and a sealing circular plate adapted to the bottom of the pulverizing tube is fixedly installed on the top surface of the lifting plate.
[0010] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a first drive motor fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the housing. A driving spur gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the first drive motor. A first driven spur gear is meshed on one side of the driving spur gear. A first connecting rod is fixedly installed on one side of the first driven spur gear. One end of the first connecting rod passes through the side wall of the main housing and is fixedly connected to one side of the first roller. A second driven spur gear is meshed on the other side of the driving spur gear. A second connecting rod is fixedly installed on one side of the second driven spur gear. One end of the second connecting rod passes through the side wall of the main housing and is fixedly connected to one side of the second roller.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the inner wall of the main body is provided with symmetrical grooves, and two rollers fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection drawer are slidably installed in the grooves.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the hopper is located inside the crushing tube.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model employs a two-step process for pulverizing Angelica sinensis. The first step involves using a first roller and a second roller to crush the root nodules on the Angelica sinensis rhizome. This crushing process avoids damage to the pulverizing blades caused by the nodules, and the secondary crushing also improves the pulverization effect. Specifically, the first drive motor is turned on, which drives the driving spur gear to rotate. The driving spur gear drives the first driven spur gear and the second driven spur gear on its surface to rotate in opposite directions. The rotation of the first driven spur gear drives the first connecting rod to rotate as well, causing the first roller to rotate in the same direction as the first driven spur gear. The rotation of the second driven spur gear drives the second connecting rod to rotate as well, causing the second roller to rotate in the same direction as the first driven spur gear. The first and second rollers rotate in opposite directions, following the second driven spur gear. Then, the second drive motor is turned on, which drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod causes the crushing blades to move in a circular motion. Then, the cylinder is turned on, which moves the lifting plate upward. When the lifting plate moves upward, the sealing plate slowly enters the crushing tube and seals the bottom of the crushing tube. At this time, the angelica root to be crushed is put into the main box through the feed hole. The angelica root will first be squeezed by the first and second rollers. The squeezing will crush the whole angelica root into fragments. The crushed angelica root fragments will fall into the hopper and finally into the crushing tube. The crushing blades in the crushing tube will crush the angelica root fragments.
[0015] 2. After the pulverization is completed, the pulverized angelica can be quickly collected and processed. Specifically, after the angelica fragments in the pulverizing tube are completely pulverized, the cylinder is closed. The cylinder will cause the lifting plate to move downward, thereby allowing the pulverized angelica to be removed from the pulverizing tube and finally fall into the collection drawer.

A housing 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the main body 1. A drive mechanism is provided inside the housing 3. The drive mechanism is used to drive the first roller 5 and the second roller 6.
[0026] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the pulverizing mechanism includes four crossbars 17 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pulverizing tube 8. The four crossbars 17 are arranged in a ring, and a second drive motor 18 is fixedly installed between the four crossbars 17. A rotating rod 19 is fixedly installed on the output end of the second drive motor 18. Two sets of symmetrical pulverizing blades 20 are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod 19. Each set of pulverizing blades 20 consists of four pulverizing blades 20 with the same structure. When the second drive motor 18 is turned on, the second drive motor 18 will drive the rotating rod 19 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 19 can pulverize the Angelica dahurica fragments that fall into the pulverizing tube 8.
[0027] In Example 3, based on Example 2, a semi-circular cover 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the second drive motor 18, and the top surface of the crossbar 17 is inclined.

The driving spur gear 12 can drive the first driven spur gear 13 and the second driven spur gear 15 on its surface to rotate in opposite directions. The rotation of the first driven spur gear 13 will drive the first connecting rod 14 to rotate together, so that the first roller 5 will rotate in the same direction as the first driven spur gear 13. The rotation of the second driven spur gear 15 will drive the second connecting rod 16 to rotate together, so that the second roller 6 will rotate in the same direction as the second driven spur gear 15.
[0030] In Example 6, based on Example 1, a symmetrical sliding groove 26 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the main box 1. Two rollers 27, which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection drawer 4, are slidably installed in the sliding groove 26. The rollers 27 can not only provide a certain support for the collection drawer 4, but also make the collection drawer 4 move more smoothly in the through groove 25.
[0031] In Example 7, based on Example 1, the bottom of the hopper 7 is located inside the crushing tube 8. This arrangement can prevent the Angelica dahurica fragments that pass through the hopper 7 from splashing out of the crushing tube 8.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] First, place the main housing 1 on a flat table or ground. Then, turn on the first drive motor 11. The first drive motor 11 will drive the driving spur gear 12 to rotate. The driving spur gear 12 can drive the first driven spur gear 13 and the second driven spur gear 15 on its surface to rotate in opposite directions. The rotation of the first driven spur gear 13 will drive the first connecting rod 14 to rotate together, so that the first roller 5 will rotate in the same direction as the first driven spur gear 13. The rotation of the second driven spur gear 15 will drive the second connecting rod 16 to rotate together, so that the second roller 6 will rotate in the same direction as the second driven spur gear 15. At this time, the first roller 5 and the second roller 6 rotate in opposite directions. Then, turn on the second drive motor 18. The second drive motor 18 will drive the rotating rod 19 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 19 can cause the crushing blade 20 to move forward with it. After the cylinder 22 is opened, it will move the lifting plate 23 upward. When the lifting plate 23 moves upward, the sealing plate 24 will slowly enter the crushing tube 8 and seal the bottom of the crushing tube 8. At this time, the Angelica sinensis that needs to be crushed is put into the main box 1 through the feed hole 2. The Angelica sinensis will be squeezed by the first roller 5 and the second roller 6. The squeezing will crush the whole Angelica sinensis into fragments. The crushed Angelica sinensis fragments will fall into the hopper 7 and finally fall into the crushing tube 8. The crushing blades 20 in the crushing tube 8 will crush the Angelica sinensis fragments. After the Angelica sinensis fragments in the crushing tube 8 are completely crushed, the first drive motor 11, the second drive motor 18 and the cylinder 22 are turned off. The cylinder 22 will move the lifting plate 23 downward, so that the completely crushed Angelica sinensis will be removed from the crushing tube 8 and finally fall into the collection drawer 4.
