Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, and relates to air classifiers, specifically an air classifier for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology
[0002] A wind separator for processed Chinese medicinal herbs is a piece of equipment used in the production of processed Chinese medicinal herbs. It primarily uses airflow to sort and clean the herbs, improving their quality and purity. It separates qualified herbs from impurities based on their density and shape, removing surface dust and impurities to ensure hygiene and safety. Through mechanized operation, the wind separator significantly improves production efficiency and reduces manual sorting workload, making it widely used in the initial and final processing of Chinese medicinal herbs.
[0003] However, some existing air-separation machines for Chinese herbal medicines can only perform air separation once, which may not be able to completely separate all impurities and unqualified herbs, especially when the herbs contain small or slight impurities. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a wind-separation machine for Chinese herbal medicine slices. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that it can only perform wind separation on Chinese herbal medicines once, which may not be able to completely separate all impurities and unqualified medicinal materials, especially when the medicinal materials contain small or slight impurities.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece air separator includes a housing with a storage compartment at the top. A guide plate is fixedly connected inside the storage compartment. Baffles are fitted on both sides of the guide plate, and both baffles are rotatably connected to one side inside the housing. A rotating mechanism for rotating the baffles is provided at the end of each baffle away from the guide plate. A first springboard is slidably connected inside the housing near the guide plate. A second springboard is provided at both ends of the first springboard. The two second springboards, the first springboard, and the guide plate are arranged in cooperation with each other. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the first springboard and the second springboard is provided at the bottom of each springboard. By setting the springboards, the medicinal materials can be air-separated multiple times.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes two gears, both of which are fixedly sleeved on both sides of the baffle. Each of the two gears has a rack on its surface, and both racks are slidably connected to one side of the housing. The same U-shaped frame is fixedly connected between the two racks. Two electric push rods are fixedly connected to the top of the housing near the U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the two electric push rods. Through the arrangement of the gears, the baffle can be rotated.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment mechanism includes four sliding cylinders, all of which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the ramp and are evenly arranged in a square shape. Each of the four sliding cylinders has a sleeve slidably fitted onto its bottom. Each of the four sleeves is fixedly connected to one side of the housing. A spring is fixedly connected to the bottom side of each of the four sleeves, and the top of each of the four springs is fixedly connected to the top side of the sliding cylinder. A discharge port is provided on one side of the housing, and a ventilation port is provided on the end of the housing away from the discharge port. Four fans are installed inside the ventilation port. A filter plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing near the ventilation port. A first discharge port is provided on the surface of the housing near the discharge port, and a first screen plate is fixedly connected inside the first discharge port. A second discharge port is provided on the surface of the housing near the ventilation port, and a second screen plate is fixedly connected inside the second discharge port. The ramp can be adjusted by the springs.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] 1. This utility model adopts a technology that uses a springboard to cause the medicinal materials to rebound, thus enabling the medicinal materials to undergo multiple air separations. This effectively solves the problem that only one air separation of Chinese medicine may not be able to completely separate all impurities and unqualified medicinal materials, especially when the medicinal materials contain small or slight impurities. A first springboard and a second springboard are installed at the bottom of the storage chamber, and both the first springboard and the second springboard are connected to the shell by springs. Due to the characteristics of the springs, when the medicinal materials fall onto the surface of the first springboard and the second springboard, the springs will cause the first springboard and the second springboard to rebound under the action of weight, thereby ensuring that the medicinal materials are air-separated several times.
