Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal herb pulverization technology, and in particular to an automated system for pulverizing Chinese medicinal herbs. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history in my country, and its efficacy is well-established, playing a vital role in disease treatment and prevention. As an important dosage form of TCM, prepared herbal pieces often require pulverization to meet various needs in clinical formulation and pharmaceutical production.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine pulverization systems often use simple rotary crushers, which prevents the pulverized particles from being graded into multiple stages, resulting in poor pulverization effects and often requiring a long pulverization time to achieve the desired pulverization. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automated Chinese herbal medicine pulverizing system, which effectively solves the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides an automated traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pulverization system, including a crushing tank. A crushing and grinding body is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the crushing tank. A converging conical surface is formed at the center of the top of the crushing and grinding body, and a conical grinding surface is formed at the center of the bottom surface of the crushing and grinding body. A communicating channel is provided between the converging conical surface and the conical grinding surface. A converging channel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the crushing tank. Several supporting legs are fixedly connected to the edge of the bottom surface of the crushing tank. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the several supporting legs, and a fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rod. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder cover. A drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The drive shaft passes through the center of the converging channel. A grinding cone is fixedly connected to the top of the drive shaft. The grinding cone is adapted to the conical grinding surface. A dispersing cone is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the grinding cone. The dispersing cone is located inside the communicating channel. Several secondary crushing rotary cutters are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dispersing cone. A cutter shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the dispersing cone. Several primary crushing rotary cutters are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cutter shaft. A dispersing conical disc is fixedly connected to the top of the cutter shaft.

[0006] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a converging funnel is fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the crushing tank, the center of the converging funnel is connected to the center of the top of the inner wall of the crushing tank, and the center of the converging funnel corresponds to the dispersing conical disk.

[0007] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above scheme is that the added medicinal slices can be evenly dispersed in all directions by rotating the dispersing cone.

[0008] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the bottom of the converging channel extends through the center of the bottom surface of the crushing tank, the diameter of the bottom opening of the converging channel is larger than the diameter of the fixed sleeve, and the top of the fixed sleeve has a pointed conical structure.

[0009] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the pointed cone-shaped structure at the top of the fixed cylinder facilitates material dispersion and prevents accumulation at the top of the fixed cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the primary crushing rotary cutters are arranged in a radial annular array, the primary crushing rotary cutters are inclined downwards, and the vertical distribution height of the primary crushing rotary cutters is adapted to the distance from the bottom of the inner wall of the converging cone to the top of the inner wall of the crushing tank.

[0011] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the falling slices of medicine can have a sufficient breaking distance so as to be fully broken.

[0012] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the distance between the outer wall of the grinding cone and the inner wall of the conical grinding surface gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the bottom of the fixed sleeve is higher than the bottom of the support leg.

[0013] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above scheme is that the crushed material can be easily guided between the outer wall of the grinding cone and the inner wall of the conical grinding surface.

[0014] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This automated Chinese herbal medicine pulverizing system uses a drive motor to rotate the drive shaft, which in turn drives the grinding cone to rotate, which in turn drives the dispersing cone to rotate, which in turn drives the cutter shaft to rotate. This causes several primary crushing rotary cutters to rotate at high speed. In this way, the added Chinese herbal medicine pieces can first be subjected to primary crushing by several primary crushing rotary cutters. After the material is initially crushed, it enters the connecting channel and is then subjected to secondary crushing by secondary crushing rotary cutters. This ensures that the material is fully crushed before entering the grinding cone and the conical grinding surface for final compact grinding. This achieves multi-stage grinding and crushing, thus improving the crushing effect.

[0016] 2. This automated Chinese herbal medicine pulverizing system can gather the primary crushed material into the connecting channel through the converging cone surface, thus concentrating the material. Several secondary crushing rotary cutters can ensure that the material is in full contact with the secondary crushing rotary cutters, thereby improving the crushing effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an automated traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pulverizing system includes a crushing tank 1. A crushing and grinding body 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the crushing tank 1. A converging conical surface 7 is provided at the center of the top of the crushing and grinding body 6, and a conical grinding surface 8 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the crushing and grinding body 6. A connecting channel is provided between the converging conical surface 7 and the conical grinding surface 8. A converging channel 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the crushing tank 1. Several support legs 3 are fixedly connected to the edge of the bottom surface of the crushing tank 1. A connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the several support legs 3. A fixing cylinder cover 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rod 4. A drive mechanism is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the inner wall of the fixing cylinder cover 5. A drive motor 10 is driven by a drive shaft 17 fixedly connected to its output end. The drive shaft 17 passes through the center of the converging channel 9. A grinding cone 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive shaft 17. The grinding cone 11 is adapted to the conical grinding surface 8. A dispersing cone 12 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the grinding cone 11. The dispersing cone 12 is located inside the connecting channel. Several secondary crushing rotary cutters 13 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dispersing cone 12. A cutter shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the dispersing cone 12. Several primary crushing rotary cutters 15 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cutter shaft 14. A dispersing conical disc 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the cutter shaft 14.

[0023] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a converging funnel 2 is fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the crushing tank 1. The center of the converging funnel 2 is connected to the center of the top of the inner wall of the crushing tank 1. The center of the converging funnel 2 corresponds to the dispersing conical disk 16. The medicinal slices are added through the converging funnel 2. The added medicinal slices can be evenly dispersed in all directions by the rotating dispersing conical disk 16.

[0024] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the converging channel 9 extends through the center of the bottom surface of the crushing tank 1. The diameter of the bottom opening of the converging channel 9 is larger than the diameter of the fixed cylinder cover 5. The top of the fixed cylinder cover 5 is a pointed cone structure, so that the bottom of the converging channel 9 has space for material disposal. The pointed cone structure at the top of the fixed cylinder cover 5 facilitates material dispersion and prevents accumulation on the top of the fixed cylinder cover 5.

[0025] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a plurality of primary crushing rotary blades 15 are arranged in a radial ring array, and the plurality of primary crushing rotary blades 15 are all inclined downward. The vertical distribution height of the plurality of primary crushing rotary blades 15 is adapted to the distance from the bottom of the inner wall of the converging cone 7 to the top of the inner wall of the crushing tank 1, so that the falling slices can get a sufficient crushing distance so as to be fully crushed.

[0026] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the distance between the outer wall of the grinding cone 11 and the inner wall of the conical grinding surface 8 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the bottom of the fixed cylinder cover 5 is higher than the bottom of the support leg 3, so that the crushed material can be easily introduced between the outer wall of the grinding cone 11 and the inner wall of the conical grinding surface 8.

[0027] The following steps are required when using this automated Chinese herbal medicine pulverizing system:

[0028] 1) Add the medicinal slices through the collecting funnel 2, and the added medicinal slices can be evenly dispersed in all directions by the rotating dispersing cone 16;

[0029] 2) First, the material is fully crushed by several primary crushing rotary cutters 15;

[0030] 3) The primary crushed material after initial crushing can be gathered into the connecting channel through the converging cone 7, so that the material is concentrated. Through several secondary crushing rotary cutters 13, the material can be fully contacted with the secondary crushing rotary cutters 13 for further crushing.

[0031] 4) The fully crushed material then enters the space between the outer wall of the grinding cone 11 and the conical grinding surface 8 for final compact grinding, thereby achieving multi-stage grinding and crushing and improving the crushing effect.

[0032] In summary, the drive motor 10 drives the drive shaft 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the grinding cone 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the dispersing cone 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the cutter shaft 14 to rotate. This causes several primary crushing rotary cutters 15 to rotate at high speed. This allows the added Chinese herbal medicine pieces to undergo primary crushing by the primary crushing rotary cutters 15. After the initial crushing, the material enters the connecting channel and then undergoes secondary crushing by the secondary crushing rotary cutters 13, ensuring that the material is fully crushed. Then, the material enters the outer wall of the grinding cone 11 and the conical grinding surface 8 for final close grinding, thus achieving multi-stage grinding and crushing and improving the crushing effect. The converging cone surface 7 can gather the primary crushed material into the connecting channel, making the material concentrated. The secondary crushing rotary cutters 13 can ensure that the material is in full contact with the secondary crushing rotary cutters 13, improving the crushing effect.

[0033] 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.
