Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, a large-piece Chinese medicinal material processing and crushing device includes a base 1, a support rod 3 and a grinding head 7. The support rod 3 is fixed to the surface of the base 1, and a motor 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the support rod 3. The motor 5 is used to drive the grinding head 7.

[0035] Electric telescopic rod 2 is fixedly connected to base 1, and motor 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of electric telescopic rod 2;

[0036] A bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of motor 5, and grinding head 7 is rotatably connected to the surface of bracket 6. Motor 5 drives grinding head 7 through transmission belt.

[0037] Material bin 9 is fixedly connected to base 1. A screen 8 is provided on the surface of material bin 9. The screen 8 is made of stainless steel.

[0038] The material bin 9 is equipped with a collection box 11, and both the collection box 11 and the screen 8 are detachable.

[0039] The grinding head 7 is arc-shaped, and the bottom surface of the screen 8 corresponds to the shape of the grinding head 7;

[0040] The surface of the material box 9 is provided with stepped grooves, the surface of the screen 8 is fixedly connected with side strips, the material box 9 is provided with a cavity 29, an elastic block 27 is fixedly connected in the cavity 29, a pressure plate 26 is fixedly connected to the surface of the elastic block 27, a top shaft 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure plate 26, the other end of the top shaft 25 is slidably connected through the cavity 29, the surface of the side strip is provided with a groove relative to the position of the top shaft 25, the material box 9 is provided with an air passage 31, one end of the air passage 31 is connected through the elastic block 27, the other end is an open opening, an elastic membrane is fixedly connected in the open opening, and elastic shrinkage holes are provided on the surface of the elastic membrane.

[0041] During operation, the screen 8 is first placed on the material box 9, and the top shaft 25 is placed in the groove. Then, the Chinese medicinal materials to be ground are placed into the screen 8. At this time, the motor 5 is started, which drives the grinding head 7 to rotate. Then, the electric telescopic rod 2 controls the up and down movement of the motor 5. At the same time, the motor 5 drives the grinding head 7 to grind in the screen 8. When the grinding head 7 squeezes the medicinal materials in the screen 8, the resulting downward pressure will drive the screen 8 to move downward. At this time, the screen 8 will squeeze the top shaft 25, which will squeeze the pressure plate 26. The pressure plate 26 will squeeze the elastic block 27, which will cause the gas in the elastic block 27 to be blown into the stepped groove through the air channel 31 to clean the surface of the stepped groove and prevent the residue of Chinese medicinal materials from remaining on the surface of the stepped groove, which would affect the cooperation effect of the screen 8 and cause the screen 8 to tilt. This would cause the grinding head 7 to deviate from the bottom of the screen 8. The elastic membrane in the air channel 31 can briefly compress and pressurize the gas in the elastic block 27. After the top shaft 25 is completely submerged in the cavity 29, the gas will pressurize the surface of the elastic membrane. The elastic membrane is opened, allowing high-pressure gas to be blown instantaneously into the stepped groove, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The grinding head 7, in conjunction with the screen 8, replaces the traditional manual operation to crush large pieces of Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 2 controls the up and down movement of the grinding head 7, which can be repeated to improve the grinding effect. The ground medicinal powder falls directly into the collection box 11 without repeated sieving and grinding, which also indirectly improves the grinding efficiency. The ground medicinal materials fall into the collection box 11 and are quickly removed through the detachable collection box 11. Because a spring 28 is set under the pressure plate 26, the spring 28 lifts the top shaft 25 to support the screen 8, so that the screen 8 is in a suspended state before being pressed down by the grinding head 7. When the grinding head 7 squeezes, the spring 28 will contract and absorb kinetic energy. When the grinding head 7 is lifted, the spring 28 will drive the screen 8 to rise. The movable screen 8 can prevent the screen 8 from being deformed by the instantaneous excessive impact force when the grinding head 7 moves downward, effectively protecting the screen 8.

[0042] The surface of the material box 9 has an installation port 12. The surface of the collection box 11 is fixedly connected to a locking block 19. The surface of the material box 9 has a locking groove 13. The surface of the locking block 19 is slidably connected to an insert block 15 via a spring 28. The end of the insert block 15 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 21. The other end of the connecting shaft 21 passes through the side wall of the inner cavity 16 and is slidably connected. The end of the connecting shaft 21 is fixedly connected to a sliding plate. The inner cavity 16 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 18. The other end of the rotating shaft 18 passes through the side wall of the collection box 11 and is rotatably connected. The part of the rotating shaft 18 located in the inner cavity 16 is fixedly connected to a lever 17. The surface of the sliding plate has a groove relative to the position of the lever 17. The surface of the locking groove 13 has a slot relative to the position of the insert block 15. There are two insert blocks 15. A pair of insert blocks 15 are symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the locking block 19. The surface of the insert block 15 has an angle. The cross-section of the insert block 15 is rectangular. The surface of the rotating shaft 18 that passes through the collection box 11 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 22. The surface of the rotating plate 22 is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0043] A limiting strip 23 is fixedly connected inside the mounting port 12. The surface of the limiting strip 23 is provided with an angle. A dustproof groove 10 is provided on the surface of the mounting port 12. The width of the dustproof groove 10 is greater than the wall thickness of the collection box 11.

[0044] During operation, after removing and installing the collection box 11, directly insert the collection box 11 into the installation port 12. When the edge of the collection box 11 touches the limiting strip 23, because the surface of the limiting strip 23 has an angle, the collection box 11 will move upward until the edge of the collection box 11 is engaged in the dustproof groove 10. Then, pull the end of the collection box 11 with the handle upward until the locking block 19 and the locking groove 13 are at the same level. After locking the locking block 19 into the locking groove 13, turn the handle, so that the handle drives the rotating plate 22, the rotating plate 22 drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, so that the lever 17 on the surface of the rotating shaft 18 moves the sliding plate, so that the sliding plate drives the insertion block 15 to insert into the slot. The angled surface of the insert 15 allows for forward compression to assist in the installation of the collection box 11 if it is not properly installed. When the rotating plate 22 is rotated to 90 degrees, the lever 17 will be locked in the groove on the surface of the slide plate for limiting. The insertion block 15 and the slot can be used to quickly disassemble and install the collection box 11. At the same time, the limiting strip 23 and the dustproof groove 10 can be used to make the gap at the edge of the collection box 11 embedded, preventing powder from falling onto the surface of the gap. Over time, this would cause powder to accumulate in the installation port 12, resulting in waste and affecting the installation of the collection box 11. The rectangular insertion block 15 can prevent the insertion block 15 from rotating, which would change the direction of the angle.

[0045] The base 1 has a fixed anti-slip pad on its bottom surface. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber. When in operation, the anti-slip pad can improve the stability of the device when placed on a table or the ground, and prevent it from sliding.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Please see Figures 8-9 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, the support 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the insert rod 32, the insert rod 32 is embedded with the main magnetic block 33, the inner wall of the material box 9 is fixedly connected to the hanging plate 35, the surface of the hanging plate 35 is slidably connected to the impact head 36 through the spring 28, and the other end of the impact head 36 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary magnetic block 37.

[0048] During operation, when the electric telescopic rod 2 drives the grinding head 7 to move up and down, the insert rod 32 on the surface of the support rod 3 will also move accordingly. When the main magnetic block 33 on the surface of the insert rod 32 moves to the position of the auxiliary magnetic block 37, the auxiliary magnetic block 37 will drive the impact head 36 to move towards the main magnetic block through the principle of attraction between the two magnetic blocks of opposite phase. When the main magnetic block 33 continues to move downward, after passing the auxiliary magnetic block 37, the spring 28 drives the impact head 36 to reset, so that the impact head 36 impacts the screen 8. When the grinding head 7 moves up and down, it will drive the impact head 36 to repeatedly impact the screen 8. Through the vibration generated by the impact, the powdered medicinal materials can be shaken off. At the same time, the medicinal materials that can be squeezed to the edge of the screen 8 by the grinding head 7 will gather towards the center of the screen 8, so that the medicinal materials can be ground better.
