Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation technology, specifically to an immersion device for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] In the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, soaking is a crucial pretreatment process. Its purpose is to allow the herbs to absorb water or other active ingredients in a suitable liquid environment, preparing them for subsequent processing. Currently, soaking of Chinese medicinal herbs is usually accomplished using traditional soaking equipment. Most of these devices employ static soaking, where the herbs are placed directly in a soaking container, and a soaking liquid (such as water or a specific solution) is injected into the container, allowing the herbs to soak naturally in the liquid for a period of time.
[0003] The above-mentioned existing technology has the following problems: 1. During the static soaking process, the contact between the Chinese medicinal materials and the soaking liquid is relatively static, which results in a slow penetration rate of the liquid into the Chinese medicinal materials. It requires a long soaking time to achieve the ideal soaking effect, which seriously affects the overall efficiency of the processing of Chinese medicinal materials.
[0004] 2. Due to the lack of effective flow of the liquid within the container, uneven concentration can easily occur in certain areas. The liquid at the bottom of the container may have a higher concentration due to the accumulation of medicinal herbs, while the concentration at the top may be relatively lower. This uneven wetting environment will cause inconsistent wetting levels in different parts of the medicinal herbs, affecting the quality of the herbs and the consistency of subsequent processing.
[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Combined with appendix Figures 1-6This utility model discloses a soaking device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs, including a soaking box 1, a reciprocating structure, and a turbulence generating device. The upper end of the soaking box 1 is rotatably connected to a box cover 2, and a soaking frame 3 is disposed inside the soaking box 1. A frame cover 4 is detachably connected to the upper end of the soaking frame 3. Both the soaking frame 3 and the frame cover 4 have several perforations for liquid flow, allowing the Chinese medicinal herbs to be fully soaked.
[0027] Specifically, a reciprocating structure is located at the front end of the immersion frame 3. The reciprocating structure includes an incomplete gear 5 and several toothed grooves 6 on both sides thereof. The incomplete gear 5 meshes with the toothed grooves 6 to realize the reciprocating movement of the immersion frame 3. The reciprocating structure also includes a hollow drive box 10. A movable plate 11 is movably connected inside the drive box 10. A through groove 12 is opened in the middle of the movable plate 11. The toothed grooves 6 are respectively opened on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the through groove 12. The incomplete gear 5 is located in the through groove 12 and does not mesh with the toothed grooves 6 on both sides at the same time. A connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the movable plate 11. The rear end of the 13 passes through the immersion frame 3 and is fixedly connected to the immersion frame 3. The upper end of the drive box 10 is fixedly connected to the motor 14, which drives the incomplete gear 5 to rotate. The inner walls of the drive box 10 have sliding grooves 15 on both sides, and the moving plate 11 slides in the sliding grooves 15. The rear end of the immersion frame 3 is connected to the inner wall of the immersion box 1 by a number of telescopic rods 16. The telescopic rods 16 are sleeved with springs 17 on the outside. The two ends of the springs 17 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the immersion frame 3 and the inner wall of the immersion box 1, respectively. The springs 17 and the telescopic rods 16 provide the restoring force and guiding function for the reciprocating movement of the immersion frame 3.
[0028] When using this soaking device, first place the Chinese medicinal materials into the soaking frame 3, cover the frame with the cover 4, then close the box cover 2, and start the motor 14. The motor 14 drives the incomplete gear 5 to rotate. Since the incomplete gear 5 alternately meshes with the toothed grooves 6 on both sides of the inner wall of the through groove 12, the moving plate 11 slides back and forth in the sliding groove 15 of the drive box 10. Through the connecting plate 13, the soaking frame 3 is driven to move back and forth in the soaking box 1, which drives the Chinese medicinal materials to move in the soaking liquid. This increases the penetration speed of the soaking liquid into the Chinese medicinal materials, reduces the soaking time, and improves the soaking efficiency.
[0029] Next, a turbulence generating device is installed at the bottom of the impregnation chamber 1. This device includes several jet pipes 7, each with a nozzle 8 connected to its upper end. Compressed air is supplied to the jet pipes 7 via a compressed air pump 9. This compressed air is ejected from the nozzle 8, creating turbulence within the impregnation chamber 1, promoting liquid flow and ensuring more uniform impregnation of the medicinal herbs. Adjacent jet pipes 7 are connected at both ends by fixed connecting pipes 18. The compressed air pump 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the impregnation chamber 1, and is connected to the front connecting pipe 18 via a fixed air supply pipe 19. A fixed support frame 20 connects the jet pipes 7 to the lower end of the inner wall of the impregnation chamber 1, facilitating gas flow and turbulence formation. This creates a space between the jet pipes 7 and the lower end of the inner wall of the impregnation chamber 1. Several vent holes are located at the top of the chamber cover 2 to ensure airflow within the impregnation chamber 1 and maintain pressure balance.
[0030] Furthermore, a filter plate 21 is provided between the immersion frame 3 and the jet pipe 7. The filter plate 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the immersion tank 1. The filter plate 21 is used to filter impurities in the liquid and prevent impurities from clogging the jet pipe 8. A water pipe 22 communicating with the interior of the immersion tank 1 is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the immersion tank 1. A water pump 23 is provided on the water pipe 22. The water pump 23 is used to extract the liquid in the immersion tank 1 for replacement or recycling.
[0031] Therefore, in specific implementation, while the soaking frame 3 moves back and forth, the compressed air pump 9 is started. The compressed air pump 9 delivers compressed air to the jet pipe 7 through the air supply pipe 19 and the connecting pipe 18. The compressed air is sprayed out from the nozzle 8, forming turbulence in the soaking box 1. The combined effect of the reciprocating movement of the soaking frame 3 and the turbulence ensures that the Chinese medicinal materials are in full contact with the soaking liquid, improving the efficiency and uniformity of soaking. When it is necessary to change the soaking liquid, the water pump 23 is started, and the liquid in the soaking box 1 is extracted through the water pipe 22. The turbulence generated by the turbulence generating device promotes the flow of the soaking liquid, avoiding the situation where the local concentration of the liquid is too high or too low, making the soaking of the Chinese medicinal materials more uniform and improving the soaking quality of the Chinese medicinal materials.
[0032] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer. The specific implementation of this disclosure omits detailed descriptions of known functions and components. To ensure device compatibility, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.
[0033] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
