Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically to a medicinal material pulverizing device for preparing medicinal soups. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese medicinal herbs are natural medicinal raw materials used under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. In the preparation of medicinal soups, pulverizing medicinal herbs can significantly improve the efficacy of the medicine. By increasing the contact area, the dissolution of effective ingredients is accelerated, ensuring the uniform distribution of medicinal ingredients, preserving the flavor of volatile components, facilitating quantitative use, reducing waste of precious medicinal herbs, and optimizing the swallowing experience. The pulverization process is directly related to the efficacy, taste, and resource utilization of medicinal soups. Therefore, appropriate pulverization equipment is needed to pulverize medicinal herbs.

[0003] A traditional Chinese medicine pulverizing device, with announcement number CN220258247U, includes a main body box. The top of the main body box has a feed inlet. Slider blocks are movably connected to the left and right ends of the inner wall of the main body box via sliding grooves. A pulverizing structure is installed on the left end of the main body box. A second mounting frame is installed on the left end of the main body box near the pulverizing structure. A second motor is installed inside the second mounting frame. The output end of the second motor is connected to a connecting shaft via a coupling. A sealing door is connected to the base of the main body box via a hinge. A control panel is installed on the base of the sealing door. This invention improves the pulverizing effect and enhances practicality by incorporating a feed inlet, sliders, a pulverizing structure, a second motor, a storage box, and blades.

[0004] However, when this device uses two grinding rollers to grind medicinal materials, the friction between the grinding rollers generates heat, which causes the heat-sensitive components in the medicinal materials to undergo thermal degradation or oxidation reactions, resulting in reduced efficacy. It may also alter the decomposition of the effective components of the medicinal materials, affecting efficacy. At the same time, fibrous or sugary medicinal materials soften and stick together after being heated, increasing grinding resistance. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a medicinal material grinding device for preparing medicinal soups to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a medicinal herb pulverizing device for preparing medicinal soup, comprising a processing shell 1 and a support plate 2. The support plate 2 is fixedly sleeved on the lower part of the outer wall of the processing shell 1. A crushing component 3 for crushing medicinal herbs is installed in the upper part of the interior of the processing shell 1. A water cooling component 4 for cooling the crushing component 3 is installed at the upper end of the support plate 2. A blowing component 5 for dissipating heat from the crushing component 3 is installed on the side wall of the processing shell 1. A pulverizing component 6 for pulverizing medicinal herbs is installed in the lower part of the interior of the processing shell 1.

[0026] This medicinal herb pulverizing device utilizes the crushing component 3 and the pulverizing component 6 in conjunction to perform secondary pulverization of the medicinal materials, thereby improving the pulverization effect. During the crushing process by the crushing component 3, the water pump 404 in the water-cooling component 4 extracts the coolant from the storage tank 401 and transports it to the cooling pipe 408, thus cooling the hollow pulverizing roller 301. This effectively reduces the frictional temperature rise during the pulverization process, preventing the medicinal materials from softening and sticking together at high temperatures. Simultaneously, it enhances the low-temperature brittleness of the medicinal materials, making them easier to pulverize, thereby improving pulverization efficiency and fineness. To prevent heat-sensitive components in medicinal materials from being affected by high temperatures and to ensure the stability of the effective components, the fan 503 starts working when the crushing component 3 is crushing, blowing air into the hollow crushing roller 301, which significantly enhances the heat dissipation effect. The forced airflow carries away the heat accumulated inside the hollow crushing roller 301, further improving the heat dissipation and cooling effect inside the hollow crushing roller 301. It is worth noting that the processing shell 1 has a discharge port on the lower side for discharging materials, and the inner wall of the discharge port is conical, which facilitates the discharge of the processed materials by the device.

[0027] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the crushing component 3 includes two hollow crushing rollers 301, both of which are rotatably sleeved inside the upper part of the processing shell 1. A first gear 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of each of the two hollow crushing rollers 301, and the two first gears 302 mesh with each other. A first motor 303 is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the processing shell 1, and a second gear 304 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 303. The second gear 304 meshes with one of the first gears 302.

[0028] The medicinal materials are added to the processing shell 1 through the funnel 8. Then, the first motor 303 in the crushing component 3 starts to work, the second gear 304 rotates, the two first gears 302 can rotate, and the two hollow crushing rollers 301 rotate relative to each other, thereby crushing the medicinal materials.

[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water-cooling assembly 4 includes a liquid storage tank 401, which is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the support plate 2. A cooling device 402 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the liquid storage tank 401. A delivery pipe 403 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cooling device 402. The end of the delivery pipe 403 away from the cooling device 402 is connected to the interior of the liquid storage tank 401. A water pump 404 is fixedly installed on the lower side wall of the liquid storage tank 401. The input end of the water pump 404 is connected to the output end of the liquid storage tank 401. A first water delivery pipe 405 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 404. Two first connecting pipes 406 are connected inside the water supply pipe 405. The inner walls of the two hollow crushing rollers 301 are provided with fixing grooves 407. Cooling pipes 408 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two fixing grooves 407. The output ends of the two first connecting pipes 406 are rotatably connected to the input ends of the two cooling pipes 408 respectively. The input end of the cooling device 402 is fixedly connected to a second water supply pipe 409. The side wall of the second water supply pipe 409 is connected to two second connecting pipes 410. The input ends of the two second connecting pipes 410 are rotatably connected to the output ends of the two cooling pipes 408 respectively.

[0030] During crushing, the water pump 404 in the water-cooling assembly 4 draws coolant from the storage tank 401 and delivers it to the first water supply pipe 405. The coolant then flows through the first connecting pipe 406 to the cooling pipe 408. The coolant in the cooling pipe 408 absorbs the heat generated by the friction of the hollow crushing roller 301, thereby cooling the roller 301. This effectively reduces the frictional temperature rise during the crushing process, prevents the medicinal materials from softening and sticking together at high temperatures, enhances their low-temperature brittleness, making them easier to crush, and thus improves crushing efficiency and fineness. Furthermore, it effectively prevents heat-sensitive components in the medicinal materials from being affected by high temperatures, ensuring the stability of the effective components. The cooling device 402 is existing technology. The cooling device 402 cools the coolant through heat exchange. It mainly consists of a radiator, a drive module, a temperature sensor, and a control system. Its working principle is as follows: when the high-temperature coolant flowing out of the cooling pipe 408 flows through the small pipe of the radiator, it transfers heat to the heat dissipation fins through forced convection and heat conduction with the air. Then, the heat is carried away by the airflow circulation, which lowers the liquid temperature. The cooled liquid is finally transported to the storage tank 401 through the delivery pipe 403. It will not be described in detail here. It is worth noting that the input and output ends of the cooling pipe 408 are located at the center of the hollow crushing roller 301, which allows the cooling pipe 408 to rotate stably on the first connecting pipe 406 and the second connecting pipe 410.

[0031] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the blowing assembly 5 includes a mounting bracket 501, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the processing housing 1 away from the first gear 302. Two air outlets 502 are opened in the mounting bracket 501, and the two air outlets 502 are respectively facing the two hollow crushing rollers 301. A blower fan 503 is installed on the inner wall of each of the two air outlets 502.

[0032] When the crushing component 3 is crushing, the blower 503 starts working, blowing air into the hollow crushing roller 301, which significantly enhances the heat dissipation effect. The forced airflow carries away the heat accumulated inside the hollow crushing roller 301, further improving the heat dissipation and cooling effect inside the hollow crushing roller 301. The blower 503 is existing technology and mainly consists of a drive device, fan blades, a protective cover and a control system. Its working principle is to drive the fan blades to rotate at high speed through the drive device, and use Bernoulli's principle to create an air pressure difference between the front and back of the blades, which pushes the air to form a directional airflow, thereby blowing the airflow into the hollow crushing roller 301. It will not be described in detail here.

[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the crushing assembly 6 includes a rotating rod 601 rotatably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the processing shell 1. Multiple cutting blades 602 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 601. A second motor 603 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the side wall of the processing shell 1. The output shaft of the second motor 603 passes through the processing shell 1 and is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 601.

[0034] After the crushing component 3 initially crushes the medicinal materials, the second motor 603 works simultaneously, causing the cutting blade 602 on the side wall of the rotating rod 601 to rotate, further crushing the medicinal materials and improving the crushing effect.

[0035] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-7 As shown, multiple columns 7 are fixedly connected to the lower end face of the support plate 2, a funnel 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the processing shell 1, a gas collection hood 9 is fixedly connected to the end of each of the two hollow crushing rollers 301 near the mounting frame 501, a water injection pipe 10 is connected to the upper part of the side of the liquid storage tank 401 away from the processing shell 1, a drain pipe 11 is connected to the lower part of the side of the liquid storage tank 401 away from the processing shell 1, a valve 12 is installed in the drain pipe 11, and multiple support frames 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the two hollow crushing rollers 301.

[0036] The column 7 supports the support plate 2, improving the stability of the device. The funnel 8 allows users to add medicinal materials to the processing shell 1, improving the portability of the device. The air collection hood 9 collects the airflow blown by the fan 503 into the hollow crushing roller 301, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. The water injection pipe 10 allows users to inject coolant into the storage tank 401. The drain pipe 11 allows users to drain the liquid in the storage tank 401, making it convenient for users to replace the coolant in the storage tank 401. The valve 12 is existing technology and is a key device for controlling fluid flow. It mainly consists of a valve body, valve cover, valve disc, valve stem, seals, and handwheel. Its working principle is to drive the valve stem to move through the drive mechanism, so that the opening and closing parts are displaced in the valve body, and the flow channel cross-sectional area is changed to realize the flow opening and closing, regulation or reversal of the fluid, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the sewage pipe 11. It will not be elaborated here. The support frame 13 provides support for the inside of the hollow crushing roller 301, significantly improving the compression and deformation resistance of the hollow crushing roller 301, so that it can withstand the impact load generated when the material is crushed.

[0037] Working principle: The medicinal materials are added to the processing shell 1 through the funnel 8. Then, the first motor 303 in the crushing assembly 3 starts working, the second gear 304 rotates, and the two first gears 302 rotate accordingly. The two hollow crushing rollers 301 rotate relative to each other, thus crushing the medicinal materials. During crushing, the water pump 404 in the water cooling assembly 4 draws coolant from the storage tank 401 and delivers it to the first water supply pipe 405. The coolant is then delivered to the cooling pipe 408 through the first connecting pipe 406. The coolant in the cooling pipe 408 absorbs the heat generated by the friction of the hollow crushing rollers 301, thereby cooling the hollow crushing rollers 301 and effectively reducing the frictional temperature rise during the crushing process. To prevent medicinal materials from softening and sticking together at high temperatures, and to enhance their low-temperature brittleness, making them easier to crush, thereby improving crushing efficiency and fineness, and to effectively prevent heat-sensitive components in the medicinal materials from being affected by high temperatures, ensuring the stability of the effective components, when the crushing component 3 is crushing, the blower 503 starts working, blowing air into the hollow crushing roller 301, significantly enhancing the heat dissipation effect. The forced airflow carries away the heat accumulated inside the hollow crushing roller 301, further improving the heat dissipation and cooling effect inside the hollow crushing roller 301. After the crushing component 3 has initially crushed the medicinal materials, the second motor 603 works at the same time, causing the cutting blade 602 on the side wall of the rotating rod 601 to rotate, further crushing the medicinal materials and improving the crushing effect.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
