Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a device for separating and extracting traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine processing is a systematic process of processing medicinal materials, mainly including three stages: primary processing at the place of origin, processing by preparation, and deep processing. The aim is to improve the quality of medicinal materials, reduce toxicity, enhance efficacy, and facilitate storage and preparation.

[0003] In the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, the separation and extraction of active ingredients is a core step. Solid-liquid separation, as a key step in the extraction process, directly affects the quality of the final product and the utilization rate of resources. Currently, in the use of existing traditional Chinese medicine separation devices, the separated residue needs to be manually cleaned from inside the device. This is not only labor-intensive, but may also cause the extract to splash due to manual operation, resulting in material loss. Although some devices have residue outlets, they lack an automatic pushing structure, and the residue tends to accumulate at the outlet, requiring frequent manual unblocking, which is not practical enough. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign a traditional Chinese medicine separation and extraction device to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution for a traditional Chinese medicine separation and extraction device:

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5A traditional Chinese medicine separation and extraction device includes a separation box 1. Perforated plates 3 are slidably mounted on both inner walls of the separation box 1 via limiting plates 2. Filter cloth 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the perforated plates 3. An extraction opening mates with the perforated plates 3 and filter cloth 4 is provided on the outer wall of the separation box 1.

A collection box 8 mates with the funnels 7 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the separation box 1 via a sliding opening. A feeding hopper 9 communicating with the interior is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the separation box 1. A support frame 10 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the separation box 1. An extrusion plate 12 is fixedly connected to the interior of the support frame 10 via an extrusion mechanism. A guide block 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall. The outer wall of the guide block 13 has a ramp that matches the outlet of the feeding hopper 9. A push plate 14 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the guide block 13 through a receiving groove. A telescopic channel communicating with the receiving groove is opened on the outer wall of the guide block 13. An electric push rod 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the separation box 1 through a support plate 15. A telescopic opening that matches the electric push rod 16 is opened on the outer wall of the separation box 1. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the push plate 14. A push-out opening that matches the push plate 14 is opened on the outer wall of the separation box 1. A guide frame 17 that matches the push-out opening is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the separation box 1. A connecting sleeve 18 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the separation box 1. An opening and closing door 20 that matches the push-out opening is fixedly connected inside the connecting sleeve 18 through a connecting mechanism. A second sealing gasket is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the opening and closing door 20.

[0026] The connecting mechanism includes connecting rods 6 fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the separation box 1, and the ends of the two connecting rods 6 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the funnel 7.

[0027] Furthermore, the connecting rod 6 is made of stainless steel and its outer wall is rust-proofed. This not only provides stable support for the funnel 7 and prevents the funnel 7 from shifting when receiving filtered liquid, but also extends the overall service life of the device and reduces later maintenance costs.

[0028] The extrusion mechanism includes a servo hydraulic cylinder 11 fixedly installed inside the support frame 10. The upper end face of the separation box 1 is provided with a lifting opening that cooperates with the extension end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 11. The extension end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the extrusion plate 12.

[0029] Furthermore, the connection between the servo hydraulic cylinder 11 and the support frame 10 adopts a reinforced welding process, which can prevent the servo hydraulic cylinder 11 from shifting or shaking during high-frequency extension and compression.

[0030] The connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod 19 that is slidably installed inside the connecting sleeve 18, and the end of the connecting rod 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the opening and closing door 20.

[0031] Furthermore, a wear-resistant bushing is installed at the mating point of the connecting rod 19 and the connecting sleeve 18, which can reduce frictional loss when the two slide relative to each other, making the opening and closing of the door 20 smoother.

[0032] A controller 21 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the separation box 1. The controller 21 is electrically connected to the servo hydraulic cylinder 11 and the electric push rod 16.

[0033] Furthermore, the control panel of the controller 21 is equipped with clear function buttons and a display screen. The operator can set the squeezing force of the servo hydraulic cylinder 11 and the extension and retraction speed of the electric push rod 16 through the buttons, while the display screen can display the operating parameters of the equipment in real time, which is convenient for the operator to monitor and adjust.

[0034] The outer wall of the separation box 1 has an observation port that communicates with the interior, and an observation glass is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the observation port.

[0035] Furthermore, the observation glass adopts a double-layer tempered glass structure, which has high transparency and compressive strength, allowing operators to clearly observe the extraction process inside the separation box 1, such as the accumulation of medicinal materials on the filter cloth 4 and the liquid filtration speed.

[0036] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0037] The raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine are poured into the separation box 1 through the feeding hopper 9. Under the action of gravity, the raw materials slide down the slope of the outer wall of the guide block 13 and finally land smoothly on the filter cloth 4 on the upper end of the perforated plate 3. The slope design of the guide block 13 can prevent the raw materials from accumulating on the inner wall of the separation box 1 or the outlet of the feeding hopper 9 during the falling process, ensuring that the raw materials are evenly distributed on the surface of the filter cloth 4, laying the foundation for subsequent uniform extrusion. At this time, the operator starts the servo hydraulic cylinder 11 inside the support frame 10 through the controller 21. The telescopic end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 11 extends downward along the lifting opening at the upper end of the separation box 1, driving the extrusion plate 12 fixedly connected below to descend synchronously. As the extrusion plate 12 gradually approaches the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine on the filter cloth 4, it generates a uniform and controllable extrusion force on the raw materials (the extrusion force can be adjusted by the controller 21 according to the type of traditional Chinese medicine, such as increasing the pressure for root and rhizome herbs with coarser fibers and decreasing the pressure for leaf herbs), forcing the cells of traditional Chinese medicine to rupture, and the effective components are fully dissolved to form an extract. The extrusion work inside the separation box 1 can be observed through the observation glass.

[0038] Under the pressure of compression, the extract first permeates the filter cloth 4. The fine pores of the filter cloth 4 can intercept fine fibers, impurities, and other solid particles in the raw material, thus initially purifying the extract. Subsequently, the filtered extract passes through the perforated holes of the perforated plate 3 and drips downwards into the funnel 7 in the middle of the separation chamber 1. The funnel 7 is fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the separation chamber 1 by connecting rods 6. Its open structure can efficiently receive the dispersed dripping extract, and its inclined inner wall gathers the extract to the bottom outlet, finally flowing precisely into the collection box 8 located directly below the funnel 7, completing the collection and temporary storage of the extract and realizing the core process of solid-liquid separation. After one compression extraction is completed, Most of the effective components of the Chinese herbal medicine are transferred to the extract, and the remaining solid part forms dregs that remain on the surface of the filter cloth 4. At this time, the controller 21 controls the extension end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 11 to retract, driving the extrusion plate 12 to rise and reset, so as to prevent the extrusion plate 12 from obstructing the discharge of the dregs. The operator slides the connecting rod 19 in the connecting sleeve 18, so that the opening and closing door 20, which is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 19, slides along the outer wall of the separation box 1 and opens the push-out opening. Then, the controller 21 starts the electric push rod 16 fixed on the support plate 15. The extension end of the electric push rod 16 extends into the interior along the extension opening of the separation box 1, driving the push plate 14 in the receiving groove of the guide block 13 to slide horizontally.

[0039] During the sliding process, the bottom wall of the push plate 14 is in close contact with the surface of the filter cloth 4, forcibly pushing the dregs on the filter cloth 4 towards the push-out opening. Due to the close fit design between the push plate 14 and the filter cloth 4, dregs can be avoided from remaining on the surface of the filter cloth 4. After being pushed through the push-out opening, the dregs slide down along the guide frame 17 fixed on the outer wall of the separation box 1, and finally fall into the dregs collection container placed outside, completing the automatic discharge of dregs. After the dregs are discharged, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 16 retracts, driving the push plate 14 back into the receiving groove of the guide block 13. The sliding connecting rod 19 closes the opening and closing door 20 (the second sealing gasket on the inner wall of the opening and closing door 20 can ensure the sealing of the push-out opening and prevent extraction during subsequent extraction). (Liquid leakage) If the extract in the collection box 8 has reached a certain amount, the collection box 8 can be pulled out directly along the sliding opening of the separation box 1, the extract poured out, and then pushed back into place. When it is necessary to clean the perforated plate 3 and the filter cloth 4, first ensure that the dregs have been completely discharged through the push plate 14, the squeeze plate 12 is reset to the highest position, the opening and closing door 20 is closed, the extract in the collection box 8 has been emptied and returned to its position, then cut off the power of the controller 21 to avoid accidental activation of the starting device during the cleaning process, which may cause safety hazards. Then, the bolts can be unscrewed to release the fixing plate 5, and the fixing plate 5 can be removed to release the obstruction of the extraction opening. Then the perforated plate 3 and the filter cloth 4 can be taken out for cleaning.

[0040] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
