Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, and in particular to a drum-type extraction device for medicinal material processing. Background Technology
[0002] A drum-type extraction device for medicinal herb processing is a specialized apparatus that extracts the active ingredients from medicinal herbs by utilizing the rotation of a drum. Its main body is typically a rotatable cylindrical drum with an internal stirring structure or screen. During operation, the medicinal herbs and solvent are added to the drum in a specific ratio. The rotation of the drum ensures thorough contact and mixing between the herbs and solvent, resulting in an extraction reaction. Heating and pressurization can be used to further enhance extraction efficiency. This equipment features a high degree of automation, good extraction uniformity, and the ability to process medicinal herbs continuously or in batches. It is commonly used in the extraction processes of active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicines.
[0003] Most drum-type extraction equipment used in medicinal herb processing typically uses an electric pusher to open the sealing cap. After the medicinal herbs are added to the equipment, the extraction solvent is added, and then the sealing cap is closed. A sealing ring ensures a seal, and the motor drives the drum to rotate. The medicinal herbs roll inside the drum, increasing the contact area between the extract and the herbs, accelerating the penetration of the extract into the herbs, and improving extraction efficiency. However, during the long-term rotation of the drum, the frequent opening and closing and compression of the sealing cap and the main body of the equipment can cause frictional wear on the surface of the sealing ring, resulting in a decrease in elasticity. Consequently, the sealing ring and the sealing surface cannot fit tightly, losing their ability to fit tightly, reducing their service life, and lowering extraction efficiency and product quality stability.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new drum-type extraction device for processing medicinal materials to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the drum-type extraction device for processing medicinal materials provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] Optimized sealing performance: By using a combination of a strong spring, a sliding ring, and a sealing gasket, the continuous elastic thrust of the strong spring pushes the sliding ring and sealing gasket to fit tightly against the feed inlet, enhancing the sealing effect. Compared with the traditional method of relying solely on the elasticity of the sealing ring, this method can effectively alleviate the sealing failure caused by friction wear of the sealing components during long-term use, reduce solvent leakage and the intrusion of external impurities, ensure the stability of extraction process parameters, and improve product quality stability.
[0016] Improved operational stability: The drive motor directly drives the drum body to rotate, and the support ring inside the support frame at the feed inlet rotates synchronously. This dual cooperation ensures the stability of the drum during rotation, allowing the medicinal materials to roll and slide evenly inside the drum, resulting in more thorough contact between the extract and the medicinal materials. Compared to the shaking and deviation that easily occur when rotating some equipment, this improves the extraction efficiency and ensures more uniform extraction of effective components.
[0017] Enhanced adaptability to different working conditions: With the help of a dual-axis motor, gears, semi-circular plate, and rolling wheels on the carrying rack, the overall angle or position of the equipment can be finely adjusted according to different extraction process requirements, so that the roller body can be in a more suitable posture for continuous operation. This breaks through the fixed posture limitations of traditional equipment, can flexibly cope with diverse working conditions, and expand the scope of application of the equipment.
[0018] Extended service life: The dynamic compensation of the elastic components and the stable rotation support structure reduce the wear and tear on seals and rotating parts caused by uneven stress and frequent wear. Compared with the problems of sealing failure and premature damage of components that are prone to occur in related technologies, it helps to extend the service life of the overall equipment and key components, and reduce the maintenance and replacement costs of the equipment.

[0026] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A drum-type extraction device for processing medicinal materials includes: a support frame 1 and a carrying frame 19. The support frame 1 serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the device. A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to one of its top sides via a sturdy connection. The support plate 2 is arranged vertically. To ensure the stability and reliability of the drive motor 3, the drive motor 3 can provide stable and continuous power output. A support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the other top side of the support frame 1. The side of the support plate 2 near the support frame 5 is rotatably connected to the drum body 4. The drum body 4 is a cylindrical extraction main body used to hold medicinal materials and extraction solvent. A support ring 6 is fixedly connected inside the support frame 5. Ring 6 is annular and serves to support and limit the rotation of the feed inlet 7. The feed inlet 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the roller body 4 away from the support plate 2. The outer side of the feed inlet 7 is rotatably connected to the inner ring of the support ring 6. The two work together to ensure the smoothness and stability of the feed inlet 7 when it rotates with the roller body 4. The side of the roller body 4 away from the feed inlet 7 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor 3. In this way, the drive motor 3 can directly drive the roller body 4 to rotate when it runs. On the outer side of the feed inlet 7, a sealing cover 8 is rotatably connected by a rotatable connecting component. One side of the sealing cover 8 contacts the side of the feed inlet 7 away from the roller body 4 to seal the feed inlet 7.
[0028] The drive assembly is installed at the top of the support frame 5. The drive assembly specifically includes an electric push rod 9. One end of the electric push rod 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 5. This rotatable connection allows the electric push rod 9 to adjust its angle adaptively during operation. The drive end of the electric push rod 9 is rotatably connected to a connecting block 10 through a rotatable connection structure. The connecting block 10 plays the role of force transmission and conversion. Its bottom end is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover 8, thereby realizing the electric push rod 9 driving the sealing cover 8 to rotate. The sliding ring 11 is located on the inner wall of the sealing cover 8 near the inlet 7. It has a sliding structure adapted to the sliding ring 11. The sliding ring 11 can slide smoothly on the inner wall. One end of the sliding ring 11 is fixedly connected to a sealing gasket 12. The sealing gasket 12 is made of a material with good sealing performance and solvent corrosion resistance.
[0029] The sealing cover 8 is equipped with an elastic component, which includes a sliding chamber 14. A limiting ring 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding ring 11 away from the sealing gasket 12. The outer side of the limiting ring 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding chamber 14 to ensure stable sliding within the chamber. Multiple sliding rods 15 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing cover 8 away from the inlet 7. One side of each sliding rod 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting ring 13 away from the sliding ring 11. To achieve force transmission, a strong spring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 15. Its other end is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting ring 13 away from the sliding ring 11, and its other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding chamber 14, providing continuous elastic thrust to the sliding ring 11. A limiting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod 15 away from the limiting ring 13. The side of the limiting plate 17 close to the sliding rod 15 is in contact with the side of the sealing cover 8 away from the feed port 7, which plays a role in limiting the sliding stroke of the sliding rod 15.
[0030] A semi-circular plate 18 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 1 via welding or other means. The semi-circular plate 18 is semi-circular in shape. A bearing rod 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the two shelves 19. The bearing rod 20 serves to connect and support the dual-axis motor 21. The top of the dual-axis motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the dual-axis motor 21. The dual-axis motor 21 can output power to both ends simultaneously. The drive end of the dual-axis motor 21 is fixedly connected to a gear 22 via a coupling or other means. An arc-shaped block 23 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two semi-circular plates 18. Multiple rack blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the arc blocks 23. The rack blocks 24 have toothed shapes. The gear 22 is adapted to the gear 22, which meshes with multiple rack blocks 24 to realize power transmission and conversion. The top of the shelf 19 is rotatably connected to four rolling wheels 25. Every two rolling wheels 25 contact the bottom of the corresponding semi-circular plate 18, which plays a supporting and auxiliary sliding role. The bottom of the shelf 19 is equipped with a support assembly, which specifically includes multiple support legs 26. The top of the multiple support legs 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shelf 19. The support legs 26 are made of high-strength metal material, and their bottoms are fixedly connected to the gaskets 27 by adhesive or bolt connection.
[0031] The working principle of the drum-type extraction device for processing medicinal materials provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0032] When the equipment is started to extract medicinal materials, the electric push rod 9 in the drive assembly is activated first. The electric push rod 9 extends or retracts, causing the sealing cover 8 to rotate around the connection point of the support frame 5, exposing the feed port 7. The operator puts the medicinal materials to be extracted into the drum body 4 through the feed port 7. After feeding is completed, the electric push rod 9 is activated again, pulling the sealing cover 8 to rotate toward the feed port 7 until the sealing cover 8 contacts the feed port 7, thus initially sealing the drum body 4.
[0033] The sliding ring 11 on the side of the sealing cap 8 near the feed inlet 7 starts to work under the action of the elastic component. The strong spring 16 inside the sealing cap 8 is in a compressed state and has elastic thrust. The strong spring 16 pushes the limiting ring 13 to slide in the sliding chamber 14. The limiting ring 13 drives the sliding ring 11 to move towards the feed inlet 7. The sealing gasket 12 at the end of the sliding ring 11 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the feed inlet 7. The continuous squeezing force provided by the elastic component strengthens the sealing effect and prevents solvent leakage during the extraction process.
[0034] The drive motor 3 inside the top of the support plate 2 starts, and the drive end of the drive motor 3 rotates, directly driving the drum body 4 to start rotating. When the drum body 4 rotates, the feed port 7 at its end rotates synchronously in the support ring 6 inside the support frame 5 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the drum body 4. As the drum body 4 continues to rotate, the medicinal materials put inside continuously tumble and slide, and fully contact and mix with the extraction solvent added in advance. Under the action of friction and extrusion force generated by rotation, the effective components of the medicinal materials are gradually transferred into the solvent to realize the extraction process.
[0035] If the extraction process requires adaptation to different extraction processes and the required roller tilt angle, the relevant structures of the carrier 19 begin to work. The dual-axis motor 21 starts, and its drive end drives the gear 22 to rotate. The gear 22 meshes with the rack block 24 on the semi-arc plate 18. Through the rotation of the gear 22, the semi-arc plate 18, the supporting frame 1, and the roller body 4 above it are pushed to slide along the rolling wheel 25 at the top of the carrier 19, so as to achieve fine adjustment of the overall angle or position of the equipment, allowing the roller body 4 to continue the extraction operation in a more suitable posture.
[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
