[0057] Example 1;
[0058] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for treating Chinese medicinal herb residue, comprising:
[0059] The drying tank 2 has a pre-drying cover 4 fixedly installed at its upper end;
[0060] An exhaust pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the drying tank 2;
[0061] The upper part of the outer wall of the pre-drying hood 4 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 7;
[0062] A stirring and pulverizing mechanism 5 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the pre-drying hood 4, and its lower end extends to the lower end of the inner cavity of the drying tank 2.
[0063] The stirring and crushing components of the stirring and crushing mechanism 5 are located inside the drying tank 2.
[0064] Specifically in this embodiment, the outer shells of the drying tank 2 and the pre-drying hood 4 are made of stainless steel and the outer walls are coated with a heat insulation layer; the feeding pipe 7 is used for feeding, and the feeding is blocked by the top cover after feeding.
[0065] Furthermore, a pre-drying hood 4 is used to pre-dry the Chinese herbal medicine residue entering through the feed pipe 7. The pre-dried Chinese herbal medicine residue enters the drying tank 2, reducing the subsequent drying time of the Chinese herbal medicine residue.
[0066] More specifically, the mixing and crushing components of the mixing and crushing mechanism 5 inside the drying tank 2 mix the falling Chinese herbal medicine residue and crush it during the mixing process. Under the premise that the drying tank 2 provides heat, the crushed and mixed Chinese herbal medicine residue has a larger heat-receiving area, which improves the drying efficiency and the uniformity of drying.
[0067] Understandably, exhaust pipe 6 is used to better and faster remove the water vapor generated during the drying process.
[0068] In some implementations, the mixing and pulverizing mechanism 5 includes:
[0069] The drive motor 51 is fixedly mounted on the middle of the top surface of the pre-drying cover 4;
[0070] A round rod 52 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the output motor 51 through the top surface of the pre-drying hood 4.
[0071] The lower end of the round rod 52 extends to the lower end of the inner cavity of the drying tank 2;
[0072] The round rod 52 is located on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the drying tank 2, where the stirring plate 53 and the first crushing blade 54a are evenly and longitudinally fixed.
[0073] The stirring plate 53 and the first crushing blade 54a are distributed alternately.
[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive motor 51 is a servo motor, which drives the rod 52 to rotate the stirring plate 53 and the first crushing blade 54a;
[0075] Furthermore, the first pulverizing blade 54a is used to pulverize the fallen pre-dried Chinese medicine residue. The stirring plate 53 stirs the Chinese medicine residue during the pulverizing process to provide uniform distribution and heating.
[0076] More specifically, the dregs of Chinese medicine after being crushed and stirred are smaller in size and more evenly distributed, increasing the heating area and drying efficiency.
[0077] In some implementations, crossbars 55 are fixedly mounted on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the outer wall of the round rod 52, and an arc-shaped scraper 56 is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the crossbar 55.
[0078] The arc-shaped scraper 56 is in contact with the hemispherical inner wall at the lower end of the drying tank 2.
[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotation of the round rod 52 drives the crossbar 55 and the arc-shaped scraper 56 fixed at its outer end to scrape off the material adhering to the lower hemispherical inner wall of the drying tank 2, so as to avoid the accumulation of material on the lower hemispherical inner wall of the drying tank 2.
[0080] In some implementations, auxiliary stirring plates 57 are fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the lower end of the outer wall of the round rod 52, which are located inside the arc-shaped scrapers 56 on the left and right sides. The auxiliary stirring plates 57 are driven to rotate by the round rod 52 to stir the material in the arc-shaped scrapers on the left and right sides, so as to avoid the material from accumulating and not moving, which would cause a decrease in drying efficiency and drying uniformity.
[0081] In some implementations, the round rod 52 is evenly and longitudinally fixedly mounted with second pulverizing blades 58 on both sides of the inner cavity of the pre-drying hood 4. The second pulverizing blades 58 pulverize the Chinese herbal medicine residue falling into the pre-drying hood 4, improve the pulverizing efficiency in the later stage, and accelerate the drying efficiency of the Chinese herbal medicine residue in conjunction with stirring.
[0082] In some implementations, the drying tank 2 includes:
[0083] Round jar 21, its lower end is hemispherical;
[0084] The inner wall of the round can 21 has a first interlayer 22, in which a first heating tube 23 is wound.
[0085] The first heating element 23 is connected to an external power source;
[0086] A discharge port 24 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the round tank 21;
[0087] The inner end of the exhaust pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the round tank 21, and the inner end of the exhaust pipe 6 is offset from the position of the first heating tube 23.
[0088] Specifically in this embodiment, the first interlayer 22 of the inner wall of the round can 21 is serpentinely coiled with a first heating tube 23. The heating tube is a prior art application, which can be heated after being powered on, and the heat is transferred to the Chinese medicine residue inside the round can 21.
[0089] Furthermore, the crushed and dried Chinese medicine residue is discharged from the discharge port 24;
[0090] Understandably, the round tank 21 has sufficient height, and the material is stirred and crushed during the natural fall, which slows down the falling speed. This process is combined with external heating for rapid drying.
[0091] In some implementations, the pre-drying hood 4 includes:
[0092] A cylindrical cover 41 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drying tank 2;
[0093] The inner wall of the cylindrical cover 41 is provided with a second interlayer 42, in which a second heating tube 43 is wound.
[0094] The second heating element 43 is connected to an external power source;
[0095] The inner end of the feed pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the cylindrical cover 41, and the inner end of the feed pipe 7 is offset from the position of the second heating pipe 43.
[0096] Specifically in this embodiment, a second heating tube 43 is coiled in a serpentine manner inside the second interlayer 42 of the cylindrical cover 41. The heating tube is a prior art technology. It heats up after being powered on, and the heat is transferred to the Chinese medicine residue inside the round can 21.
[0097] Furthermore, the second heating tube 43 inside the cylindrical cover 41 heats the incoming Chinese herbal medicine residue to pre-dry it and reduce its moisture content. During this process, the feed pipe 7 does not need to be blocked and is used to quickly discharge water vapor.
[0098] In some implementations, the upper end of the exhaust duct 6 is equipped with a dust filter hood structure 8, which includes:
[0099] The outer ring 81 has a filter screen 82 fixedly assembled on its upper inner wall;
[0100] A slot 83 is provided on the upper edge of the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 6;
[0101] The lower edge of the outer ring 81 is fixedly connected to the corresponding slot 83 with an ear plate 84, and the ear plate 84 is fixedly connected to the corresponding slot 83 by bolts.
[0102] Specifically in this embodiment, the dust filter cover structure 8 provided at the upper end of the exhaust pipe 6 is used to block the discharged dust and prevent a lot of dust from being discharged to the outside during the mixing and crushing process.
[0103] Furthermore, the outer ring 81 filter screen 82 mounting bracket can be removed from the upper end of the exhaust pipe 6. When disassembling, only all the bolts of the fixing ear plate 84 need to be removed. When installing, the operation is reversed.
[0104] In some implementations, support plates 3 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the lower end of the outer wall of the drying tank 2;
[0105] It also includes a transmission structure 1, which comprises:
[0106] The transmission belt 11 is arranged laterally;
[0107] The transmission belt 11 has retaining edges 12 on both the front and rear sides of its upper edge;
[0108] The front and rear support plates 3 are fixedly assembled on the upper end of the same side flange 12 at the feed end of the transmission belt 11.
[0109] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission belt 11 is used to convey the material discharged from the lower end of the drying tank 2 after crushing and drying. During the conveying process, the front and rear side guards 12 of the transmission belt 11 block the material from falling outside the transmission belt 11.
[0110] Example 2;
[0111] Please see Figure 4 The difference between this and Example 1 is that the first crushing blade 54a is replaced by a crushing wheel 54b.
[0112] The blades of the pulverizing wheel 54b are curved upwards at the end. The pulverizing wheel 54b pulverizes the Chinese medicine residue and lifts the material upwards during the pulverizing process to prevent the Chinese medicine residue from settling.
[0113] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
