Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a horizontal soaking tank for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Soaking is a crucial step in the processing of Chinese medicinal herbs. Traditional soaking methods often suffer from uneven soaking, low efficiency, and the introduction of impurities, which seriously affect the quality of the herbs and the subsequent processing results.

[0003] Firstly, traditional soaking methods typically rely on static immersion, where medicinal herbs passively absorb the liquid. This method often leads to uneven soaking; some herbs may be under-soaked due to insufficient contact with the liquid, while others may lose their medicinal efficacy due to over-soaking. Therefore, improving the contact efficiency between medicinal herbs and the soaking liquid to ensure uniform soaking has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] Secondly, during the harvesting, transportation, and storage of Chinese medicinal herbs, impurities such as soil and sand often adhere to them. If these impurities are not effectively removed, they will enter the soaking process along with the herbs, seriously affecting the purity of the herbs and the quality of subsequent processed products. Traditional soaking methods often lack effective impurity filtration mechanisms, causing impurities to mix with the herbs and become difficult to separate.

[0005] Furthermore, the uniform distribution of the infusion solution is also a crucial factor affecting the infusion effect of Chinese medicinal herbs. Uneven distribution of the infusion solution among the herbs will lead to inconsistent infusion levels, thus impacting their efficacy. Therefore, an effective stirring mechanism is needed to ensure the uniform distribution of the infusion solution.

[0006] Finally, after the medicinal herbs have been soaked, how to conveniently and quickly collect them is also a problem that needs to be solved. Traditional soaking equipment is often poorly designed, making it difficult to remove the medicinal herbs from the equipment after soaking, which increases the labor intensity and operation time of the operators.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a horizontal Chinese herbal medicine soaking tank, including a tank body 1, inlet and outlet water pipes 4, and a servo motor 5. A feed inlet 2 is provided on one side wall of the tank body 1, and a movable door 3 is provided on the other side wall. Two inlet and outlet water pipes 4 are respectively provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the tank body 1. The servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the tank body 1 near the feed inlet 2, with the feed inlet 2 located above the servo motor 5. Two rotating rods 6 are symmetrically arranged inside the tank body 1. Multiple stirring blades 7 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the upper and lower surfaces of the two rotating rods 6. One rotating rod 6 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the servo motor 5, and the other rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1. Each of the rotating rods 6 has a connecting rod 8 fixedly connected to one end of each opposite end. A movable rod 9 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods 8. The two connecting rods 8 and the movable rod 9 form a U-shaped frame. A limiting plate 10 is provided inside the tank body 1. A limiting groove 11 is opened through the side wall of the limiting plate 10. The movable rod 9 is slidably engaged inside the limiting groove 11. Fixed rods 12 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the limiting plate 10. A first filter screen plate 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed rod 12 away from the limiting plate 10. A second filter screen plate 14 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixed rod 12 away from the limiting plate 10. The first filter screen plate 13 is located above the second filter screen plate 14.

[0021] The first filter plate 13 and the second filter plate 14 are both slidably engaged inside the tank 1, and the tank 1, the first filter plate 13, and the second filter plate 14 are all in an inclined state. This design allows the first filter plate 13 and the second filter plate 14 to slide freely within the tank 1 while remaining stable and not easily falling off. This facilitates reciprocating linear motion driven by the servo motor 5, thereby effectively pressing the Chinese medicinal materials into the soaking liquid. The inclined tank 1, the first filter plate 13, and the second filter plate 14 help the Chinese medicinal materials to be better distributed and mixed during the soaking process. After the soaking liquid is discharged, the inclined second filter plate 14 can cause the Chinese medicinal materials to roll down the slope, making them easy to collect. Finally, the inclined design can also reduce the accumulation of Chinese medicinal materials on the second filter plate 14, reducing the risk of clogging.

[0022] The feed inlet 2 is located between the first filter plate 13 and the second filter plate 14. This design ensures that the Chinese medicinal materials fall directly onto the second filter plate 14 after entering the tank 1, which helps to avoid loss and contamination of the Chinese medicinal materials before soaking, and also makes it convenient for operators to evenly put the Chinese medicinal materials into the tank 1.

[0023] The stirring blade 7 is located between the first filter plate 13 and the second filter plate 14. This placement ensures thorough mixing and flow of the soaking liquid among the medicinal herbs. This helps the herbs to contact the soaking liquid more evenly, improving the soaking effect. Simultaneously, the stirring blade 7 also prevents the herbs from piling up or clumping on the second filter plate 14, ensuring a smooth soaking process.

[0024] Working principle: When using the horizontal Chinese herbal medicine soaking tank, the operator puts the Chinese herbal medicine to be soaked into the tank body 1 through the feed port 2. Since the feed port 2 is located between the first filter plate 13 and the second filter plate 14, the Chinese herbal medicine put into the feed port 2 will fall onto the second filter plate 14. Then, the inlet and outlet water pipes 4 on the tank body 1 are used to fill the tank body 1 with soaking liquid. Then, the servo motor 5 can drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 6 can drive the connecting rod 8 to drive the movable rod 9 to rotate in a circle. The movable rod 9 is slidably engaged in the limiting groove 11 on the limiting plate 10, so that the circumferential rotation of the movable rod 9 can drive the limiting plate 10 to move. Since the two fixed rods 12 on the upper and lower surfaces of the limiting plate 10 are respectively connected to the first filter screen plate 13 and the second filter screen plate 14, and the first filter screen plate 13 and the second filter screen plate 14 are slidably engaged in the tank body 1, the movable rod 9 can only drive the limiting plate 10 to reciprocate linearly, so that the limiting plate 10 can drive the first filter screen plate 13 and the second filter screen plate 14 to move linearly along the inside of the tank body 1 through the fixed rods 12. The first filter plate 13 and the second filter plate 14 confine the Chinese medicinal materials between them. The reciprocating linear motion of the first filter plate 13 presses the Chinese medicinal materials into the soaking liquid, ensuring full contact between the materials and the liquid. The second filter plate 14 filters out impurities from the materials, preventing them from mixing with the herbs. During this process, the servo motor 5 drives the stirring blade 7 on the rotating rod 6 to rotate, agitating the soaking liquid between the first and second filter plates 13 and 14, thus ensuring full contact and soaking of the Chinese medicinal materials. After the Chinese medicinal herbs have been soaked, the soaking liquid in the tank 1 is discharged from the tank 1 through the inlet and outlet water pipes 4. The discharge of the soaking liquid will cause the soaked Chinese medicinal herbs to fall onto the second filter plate 14. Since the second filter plate 14 is set at an angle inside the tank 1, and the second filter plate 14 is driven up and down by the servo motor 5, the Chinese medicinal herbs on the second filter plate 14 can roll down along the inclined second filter plate 14, so that the operator can easily collect the Chinese medicinal herbs on the inclined second filter plate 14 from the movable door 3.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
