Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine processing device. Background Technology

[0002] As the core material foundation of the traditional Chinese medicine industry, the quality of processing medicinal materials directly affects clinical efficacy and drug safety. With the acceleration of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional manual sorting, cleaning, and processing methods are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of large-scale production due to their low efficiency and poor standardization.

[0003] While existing processing equipment has achieved partial mechanization, it still faces numerous technical bottlenecks: single-function equipment requires multiple units operating in series, leading to long turnover times for medicinal materials and a high risk of cross-contamination; the high temperatures generated during pulverization can damage heat-sensitive components, reducing efficacy; insufficient automation and numerous manual interventions make it difficult to ensure batch-to-batch quality uniformity; and the washing process results in significant water waste and a lack of effective recycling mechanisms. Furthermore, existing equipment remains inadequate for specific needs such as processing medicinal materials while they are fresh and handling materials containing volatile components. Therefore, developing integrated, intelligent, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly new processing devices for medicinal materials, enabling coordinated operation of multiple processes such as washing, pulverization, and processing, reducing energy consumption and pollution, and ensuring the stability of effective components in medicinal materials, has become an urgent need to promote the high-quality development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the L-shaped bracket 51, the first motor 52, and the drive shaft 53 work together to drive the tumbling assembly 6 and the cleaning mechanism 7 to rotate, ensuring their normal operation. They also provide sufficient power output to the tumbling assembly 6 and the cleaning mechanism 7. The horizontal plate 61 and the rotating roller 62 work together to agitate and tumble the herbs inside the cleaning tank 4. The rotating roller 62 also removes mud from the surface of the herbs. The fixed plate 71 and the cleaning brush 72 work together to scrub the herbs inside the cleaning tank 4 by rotation, ensuring that the dirt attached to the surface of the herbs is thoroughly removed. The stirring rod 73 tumbles the herbs inside the cleaning tank 4, allowing them to fully contact the water. The guide plate 82 guides the water and herbs inside the cleaning tank 4 into the arc-shaped filter screen 81. The arc-shaped filter 81 separates the medicinal materials from the water. The conveying pipe 83 transports the medicinal materials inside the arc-shaped filter 81 to the inside of the pulverizing tank 2 for pulverization. The combined use of the dual-shaft motor 91, the rotating rod 92, and the spiral conveyor 93 transports the medicinal materials inside the arc-shaped filter 81, ensuring automated transport and improving the automation level of the equipment. At the same time, the spiral conveyor 93 effectively prevents clogging during transport. The combined use of the U-shaped frame 101, the fixed bracket 102, the second motor 103, the connecting rod 104, and the sealing plate 105 allows for precise adjustment of the drainage of the arc-shaped filter 81 by the user. When cleaning, the sealing plate 105 blocks the opening of the arc-shaped filter 81 to prevent water from flowing out. When draining, it can promptly open the gate to release water.

[0027] Working principle: During operation, first place the base plate 1 on a flat surface. Then, the user starts the first motor 52 to drive the drive shaft 53 to rotate. When the drive shaft 53 rotates, it drives the horizontal plate 61 and the stirring rod 73 to rotate. When the horizontal plate 61 rotates, it simultaneously drives the rotating roller 62 and the fixed plate 71 to rotate. At this time, the user needs to pour the Chinese medicinal materials into the cleaning tank 4 along with water. After the medicinal materials enter the cleaning tank 4, they will continuously roll in the water due to the stirring of the stirring rods 73 and 63, so that the dirt on the surface of the medicinal materials can be washed off. At the same time, when the medicinal materials pass by the cleaning brush 72, the cleaning brush 72 will brush away the harder impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials. After cleaning is completed, start the... The second motor 103 drives the connecting rod 104 to rotate. When the connecting rod 104 rotates, it causes the sealing plate 105 to move on the surface of the arc-shaped filter screen 81. As the sealing plate 105 moves, it will no longer block the holes of the arc-shaped filter screen 81. At that time, the water inside the cleaning tank 4 will be discharged downward through the arc-shaped filter screen 81, while the Chinese medicinal materials will be blocked by the arc-shaped filter screen 81. After the water is discharged, the dual-axis motor 91 is started to drive the two sets of rotating rods 92 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rods 92 will drive the spiral conveyor plate 93 to rotate, thereby conveying the Chinese medicinal materials inside the arc-shaped filter screen 81 to the conveying pipe 83. When the medicinal materials arrive at the conveying pipe 83, they will fall into the inside of the pulverizing tank 2 for pulverization, so that they can be used by the user.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
