Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically relating to a continuous processing equipment for traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] The preparation of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions typically requires mixing different medicinal herbs according to specific dosages.

At the same time, the hot air fan 7 is started and provides heat to the drying cylinder 2 through the exhaust pipe 12 to heat and dry the Chinese medicinal materials. Thus, by rotating the Chinese medicinal materials in the filter cylinder sieve 3 and heating and drying them, impurities (such as mud and sand) attached to the Chinese medicinal materials can be removed. When the materials are discharged from the transition trough 6 into the feeding barrel 8, the drive motor 901 is started. Machine 901 drives rotating shaft 902 to rotate several cutters 903, thereby achieving the mixing and chopping of Chinese medicinal materials, realizing multi-stage processing of Chinese medicinal materials. After chopping, control electric cylinder 1001 to open sealing plate 1002, and then start drive motor 901 to slowly rotate, so that two levers 904 discharge the chopped Chinese medicinal materials in material bucket 8 from the discharge port to vibrating screen 1105. At this time, control start vibrating motor 1103, in which vibrating motor 1103 causes vibrating screen 1106 to vibrate to form sieving, thereby enabling the chopped Chinese medicinal materials to be screened and sieved to achieve multi-stage processing, thereby improving processing quality and realizing on-demand material selection.
