[0034] To better understand the purpose, function, and specific design of this utility model, the feeder for the integrated drying and sterilization machine of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-4 A feeder for an integrated drying and sterilization machine, comprising:

[0036] Storage hopper 1 is installed on frame 2 for temporary storage of materials;

[0037] Vibrating hopper 3 is located below storage hopper 1 and is fixedly connected to frame 2 by multiple elastic support members. Vibrating device is installed on vibrating hopper 3 to receive the material falling from storage hopper 1 and then evenly convey it to the conveyor belt.

[0038] The smoothing mechanism 4, installed on the frame 2, is used to scrape the material on the conveyor belt evenly.

[0039] The frame 2 is installed on the main machine frame, so that the vibrating hopper 3 and the smoothing mechanism 4 are located directly above the main machine's conveyor belt.

[0040] In the above embodiment, by setting up a vibrating hopper 3, the Chinese herbal medicine pieces falling from the storage hopper 1 onto the vibrating hopper 3 can be redistributed, making the fabric more uniform.

[0041] The frame 2 includes two parallel base rods, which are fixed to the main machine frame and located on both sides of the conveyor belt. A reinforcing plate is provided at the front end of the base rod, and a longitudinal rod is provided at the rear end of the base rod. The reinforcing plate and the longitudinal rod are arranged across the conveyor belt. Four columns are provided in the middle of the base rod, and two parallel crossbeams are provided at the top of the columns. The crossbeams are arranged across the conveyor belt and are fixedly connected to the top of the storage hopper 1.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the storage hopper 1, a central connecting rod is also installed on the two columns on the same side.

[0043] In some embodiments, the storage hopper 1 includes a top inlet 101 and a bottom outlet. The outlet extends into the vibrating hopper 3. A height-adjustable baffle 104 is provided on the side of the outlet facing the conveyor belt conveying direction. For example, the height of the baffle 104 can be adjusted by opening a vertical waist hole on the baffle 104 and adjusting the fixing position of the bolt and the waist hole to adjust the height of the baffle 104.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the Chinese herbal medicine slices that need to be dried and sterilized can be put into the storage hopper 1 through the feed inlet 101. The Chinese herbal medicine slices in the storage hopper 1 move downward under the action of gravity. The vibrating hopper 3 at the bottom vibrates up and down under the action of the vibrator. The discharge port extends into the vibrating hopper 3, and the discharge port and the vibrating hopper 3 form a discharge gap. Therefore, during the up and down vibration of the vibrating hopper 3, the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the storage hopper 1 are gradually vibrated out from the gap. And by adjusting the height of the baffle plate 104, the height between the discharge port and the vibrating hopper 3 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the discharge speed.

[0045] For example, the vibration device can be an exciter, an electromagnetic vibrator, or other equipment, and the elastic support can be a spring, an elastic telescopic rod, or other similar devices. Specifically, in a certain embodiment, the vibration device is set as an exciter, which is installed at the bottom of the vibrating hopper 3. The elastic support is a vibration spring 302. Specifically, ear plates 303 are respectively provided on both sides of the vibrating hopper 3 and on the bottom rod. Mounting holes are provided on the ear plates 303. Studs are fixed at both ends of the vibration spring 302. The studs pass through the mounting holes of the ear plates 303 and are fixed by nuts. Therefore, when the exciter is started, it can drive the vibrating hopper 3 to vibrate up and down.

[0046] In some embodiments, the storage hopper 1 is provided with a narrow opening formed by an inclined plate in the middle, the narrow opening is used for guiding material, and the vibrating hopper 3 is provided with a vibrating hammer 5 facing the inclined plate. The vibrating hammer 5 is used to vibrate the narrow opening while the vibrating hopper 3 moves up and down, so that the narrow opening will not accumulate material or become blocked.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the vibrating hopper 3 moves up and down under the action of the vibrator, thereby changing the gap between the vibrating hopper 3 and the discharge port. This allows the material in the storage hopper 1 to fall from the gap onto the vibrating hopper 3. The up and down displacement of the vibrating hopper 3 also drives the vibrating hammer 5 to move together. During the movement of the vibrating hammer 5, it periodically vibrates the inclined plate, so that the narrow opening formed at the inclined plate will not accumulate material or become blocked, and no additional vibration equipment is required.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vibratory hammer 5 includes a bottom mounting plate 505, on which an angle-adjustable and height-adjustable mounting rod 503 is mounted. The height and angle of the striking element 501 are adjusted by the mounting rod 503 to better match the amplitude of the vibrating hopper 3. An elastic element 502 is provided at the end of the mounting rod 503, and a striking element 501 is provided at the end of the elastic element 502. By providing the elastic element 502 and the striking element 501, they can elastically contact the storage hopper 1, preventing the storage hopper 1 from being deformed due to excessive impact force.

[0049] Specifically, in one embodiment, the elastic element 502 is configured as a spring or a sheet, the striking element 501 is configured as a rubber ball, and the angle-adjustable and height-adjustable mounting rod 503 includes a transverse screw 504 mounted on the mounting plate 505. The transverse screw 504 is locked and fixed by locking nuts located on both sides of the mounting plate 505. The end of the transverse screw 504 is provided with a mounting hole, and the mounting rod 503 passes through the mounting hole of the transverse screw 504. Locking nuts are provided on both sides of the transverse screw 504 to fix the mounting rod 503. The angle of the mounting rod 503 and the striking element 501 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the transverse screw 504, and the height of the striking element 501 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the mounting rod 503 on the transverse screw 504.

[0050] In the above embodiment, by adjusting the angle of the transverse screw 504 and the height of the mounting rod 503, the rubber ball can fit against the inclined plate of the storage hopper 1. Then, as the vibrator drives the vibrating hopper 3 to move up and down, the rubber ball also moves up and down synchronously. The rubber ball collides continuously with the inclined plate of the storage hopper 1. By setting the elastic element 502, the collision force can be controlled, so that no additional power source is needed to avoid material accumulation or blockage at the constriction of the storage hopper 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, the storage hopper 1 is provided with a vertical plate 102 and a folded plate 103 including a central inclined plate on both sides along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. The vertical plate 102, the folded plate 103 and the end sealing plates form the storage hopper 1. Specifically, the folded plate 103 includes an inclined plate at the middle constriction of the vertical plate at the upper feed inlet 101 and a vertical plate at the discharge outlet. The folded plate 103 forms a middle constriction, and the inclined plate is only provided on one side, so that the vibrating hammer 5 only needs to be provided on one side.

[0052] In some embodiments, the vibrating hopper 3 is inclined and the discharge port 301 of the vibrating hopper 3 is oriented in the same direction. The inclined arrangement allows the material falling on the vibrating hopper 3 to be evenly spread onto the conveyor belt of the main machine under the action of the vibrator and gravity.

[0053] Specifically, the vibrating hopper 3 and the inclined plate of the storage hopper 1 form a flared shape, and the vibrating hammer 5 is installed at the flared shape. This facilitates installation and adjustment, and eliminates the need for vibrating hammers 5 on both sides.

[0054] In some embodiments, the vertical plate 102 is located on the side away from the discharge port 301, and the folded plate 103 is arranged on the side close to the discharge port 301, which enables convenient installation and adjustment of the vibratory hammer 5.

[0055] In some embodiments, the smoothing mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 402, which has a plurality of vertical waist holes. The vertical waist holes are fixedly connected to the frame body 2 by bolts. The mounting frame 402 has mounting holes, in which a clamping plate 403 is fixed by bolts. A scraper 401 is held between the clamping plate 403 and the mounting frame 402, which allows for convenient adjustment of the scraper 401, easy replacement, and easy adjustment of the height of the scraper 401.

[0056] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
