Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid-liquid separation devices, specifically a solid-liquid separation device for recycling Chinese herbal medicine residue. Background Technology
[0002] The residue generated during the production of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) typically contains residual medicinal liquid and solid waste. Its efficient recycling and utilization are crucial for resource conservation and environmental protection. Solid-liquid separation, a key step in residue treatment, directly affects the purity of the recovered medicinal liquid, the secondary utilization rate of the residue, and overall production efficiency. Currently, the TCM industry commonly uses filter pressing, centrifugal, or static draining separation devices, but the following technical limitations still exist:
[0003] 1. Insufficient separation efficiency and thoroughness: Conventional filters are easily clogged by the fibers of medicinal residue, resulting in slow liquid seepage; the solid medicinal residue after pressing or centrifugation still contains residual medicinal liquid, resulting in incomplete separation and waste of effective ingredients.
[0004] 2. Difficulty in cleaning solid residues: After separation, the residue easily adheres to the inner wall of the equipment and the surface of the filter screen, requiring frequent shutdowns for manual cleaning, which not only increases maintenance costs but also affects the continuous production rhythm.
[0005] 3. Inaccurate liquid collection path: The separated liquid flows disorderly in the tank, with some liquid stagnating in dead corners or mixing with solid residues, reducing collection efficiency and liquid purity.

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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.
[0035] This application discloses a solid-liquid separation device for recycling traditional Chinese medicine residue. (Refer to...)

[0036] The housing assembly 1 includes a housing 101. The top of the housing 101 is provided with a sliding groove 102 and an insertion hole 103. The two side plates of the housing 101 are provided with threaded grooves 104 and through holes 105, respectively. A discharge pipe 106 is fixedly connected to one side plate of the housing 101. A guide plate 107 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 101. A connecting groove is provided at the bottom of the housing 101. A liquid collection box 7 is inserted and fitted into the connecting groove. The liquid collection box 7 is located directly below the guide plate 107. The cooperation between the guide plate 107 and the liquid collection box 7 ensures that the liquid flows along a fixed path, improving the liquid collection efficiency. The guide plate 107 is inclined, and the lateral width of the guide plate 107 is greater than the projected width of the mesh plate 202.
[0037] The separation component 2 includes a filter box 201, a mesh plate 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter box 201, a through groove 203 is opened at the bottom of both side plates of the filter box 201, a slider 204 is fixedly connected to the top of both side plates of the filter box 201, the slider 204 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 102, and the bottom of the filter box 201 is semi-circular.
[0038] The sliding engagement between slider 204 and groove 102 enables convenient disassembly and assembly of filter box 201, facilitating the cleaning of residual medicine residue.
[0039] The cover plate assembly 3 includes a cover plate 301. A rod 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cover plate 301. A feed hopper 303 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cover plate 301. A pad 304 is adhered to the bottom surface of the cover plate 301. The rod 302 is inserted into the insertion hole 103. The bottom surface of the pad 304 is tightly attached to the top surface of the box 101. Four hooks 4 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cover plate 301. Four latches 5 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the box 101. The hooks 4 and latches 5 are snapped together.
[0040] Preferably, the pad 304 is made of silicone. When the hook 4 is locked with the buckle 5, the pad 304 is deformed by pressure and completely covers the top edge of the box 101 to form a sealing surface.
[0041] The cooperation between the insertion rod 302 and the insertion hole 103, the hook 4 and the lock 5 enables the precise positioning and fixation of the cover plate 301. Combined with the sealing effect of the pad 304, it prevents leakage of liquid and residue during the separation process.
[0042] The drive assembly 6 includes a connecting plate 601. A motor 602 is mounted on one side of the connecting plate 601. A spiral conveying shaft 603 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 602. The connecting plate 601 is threaded into a threaded groove 104.

The output shaft of the motor 602 movably passes through the connecting plate 601.
[0043] The cooperation between the screw conveyor shaft 603 and the bottom (semi-circular) of the filter box 201, the through groove 203, and the discharge pipe 106 ensures that solid dregs are transported without residue, thus improving the thoroughness of separation.
[0044] During installation, first insert the screw conveyor shaft 603 into the through port 105 of the housing 101, pass through the through groove 203 of the filter box 201, then fix the connecting plate 601 to the side plate of the housing 101 through the threaded slot 104, and finally connect the output shaft of the motor 602 to the end of the screw conveyor shaft 603 with a key.
[0045] Working principle:
[0046] I. Assembly and Coordination of the Device
[0047] Cover plate assembly 3 and box assembly 1: The insertion rod 302 of cover plate 301 is inserted into the insertion hole 103 of box 101 to achieve the positioning of cover plate 301; the hook 4 on the outer surface of cover plate 301 is snapped into the lock 5 on the outer surface of box 101 to fix cover plate 301 to the top of box 101; the pad 304 at the bottom of cover plate 301 is tightly overlapped with the top surface of box 101 to form a sealing structure to prevent liquid or medicine residue from leaking out during the separation process.
[0048] The sliders 204 on both sides of the filter box 201 are slidably fitted into the slide groove 102 on the top of the box body 101, so that the filter box 201 can be flexibly disassembled and assembled along the slide groove 102, which is convenient for later cleaning; the bottom of the filter box 201 is semi-circular, which is adapted to the shape of the spiral conveying shaft 603 of the drive assembly 6, reducing solid residue.
[0049] The connecting plate 601 is threaded into the threaded groove 104 of the side plate of the housing 101 to fix the drive assembly 6; the output shaft of the motor 602 moves through the connecting plate 601 to ensure that the power is stably transmitted to the screw conveyor shaft 603. The screw conveyor shaft 603 passes through the through-hole 105 of the housing 101 and the through-groove 203 of the filter box 201 in sequence, and cooperates with the bottom of the filter box 201 and the inner wall of the discharge pipe 106 to form a solid conveying channel.
[0050] II. Solid-Liquid Separation Process
[0051] Feeding and preliminary separation: The mixture of Chinese herbal medicine residue enters the device through the feed hopper 303 at the top of the cover plate 301 and falls directly into the filter box 201 of the separation component 2. The mesh plate 202 at the bottom of the filter box 201 allows liquid to pass through while the solid residue is retained, thus achieving preliminary solid-liquid separation.
[0052] Liquid collection: Liquid enters the interior of the tank 101 through the mesh plate 202 and is guided by the guide plate 107 fixed on the inner wall of the tank 101 to flow to the connecting groove at the bottom of the tank 101; the liquid collection container 7 inserted into the connecting groove is located directly below the guide plate 107 to accurately collect the separated liquid.
[0053] Solid conveying and discharge: Start the motor 602 of the drive assembly 6, which drives the screw conveyor shaft 603 to rotate. The screw conveyor shaft 603, through its cooperation with the bottom (semi-circular) and through groove 203 of the filter box 201, pushes the solid medicine residue trapped in the filter box 201 toward the discharge pipe 106 of the box body 101, and finally discharges it through the discharge pipe 106, thus completing the separation and collection of solid medicine residue.
[0054] 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.
