Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically relating to a novel integrated steaming and moistening machine. Background Technology

[0002] The steam-moistening integrated machine is a modern processing equipment for Chinese medicinal herbs. It integrates multiple functions such as steaming, moistening, and washing, and is mainly used for the rapid softening, soaking, and sterilization of Chinese medicinal herbs. This equipment uses steam spraying to ensure that the Chinese medicinal herbs are heated evenly, thereby extracting their nutrients.

[0003] In traditional steaming equipment, multiple trays are usually used to steam multiple groups of Chinese medicinal materials in order to improve steaming efficiency. However, there is a lack of necessary connecting structures between adjacent trays, which means that each time a tray is taken out of the steaming chamber, the operator can only handle each tray individually. This problem is particularly prominent when it comes to trays deep in the steaming chamber, which are difficult for the operator to reach directly and require the use of additional tools. The process is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of steaming and moistening integrated machine with fast loading and unloading to solve the above problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A novel integrated steam-moistening machine includes a steam-moistening chamber and tracks arranged on both sides of the inner surface of the steam-moistening chamber, with multiple trays movably mounted on the tracks;

[0007] It also includes:

[0008] A limiting hook is provided on one side of the tray;

[0009] A limiting plate is slidably disposed on the other side of the pallet, and a limiting hook cooperates with the limiting plate to connect two adjacent pallets;

[0010] The extrusion blocks are slidably disposed on both sides of the limiting plate. The extrusion blocks extrude force on the limiting plate, causing the limiting plate to descend.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, bearing pulleys are provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the tray, and handles are provided on the tray.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, a mounting frame is provided on one side of the tray, and a receiving cavity is opened in the mounting frame. The limiting plate is slidably disposed on the mounting frame, and the limiting hook can be embedded between the limiting plate and the tray. One side of the limiting hook is rounded.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, a spring is provided between the limiting plate and the receiving cavity, and pressure blocks are provided on both sides of the limiting plate, with inclined surfaces formed on the pressure blocks.

[0014] As a further optimization of this utility model, the extrusion block is slidably disposed on both sides of the mounting frame, and the extrusion block is provided with an inclined surface that cooperates with the pressure block.

[0015] As a further optimization of this utility model, a blocking plate is provided at one end of the track, which can block the movement path of the tray, and a U-shaped plate is provided at the other end of the track, which can squeeze the extrusion block.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] Unlike existing technologies, in actual use, adjacent pallets are connected by limit hooks and limit plates. The rounded corner design of the limit hooks and the spring between the limit plates and the receiving cavity ensure a stable connection. When removing the pallets, multiple pallets can be pulled and moved simultaneously. The U-shaped plate near the outlet of the steaming chamber squeezes the squeezing block. The inclined surface of the squeezing block and the pressure block is used to release the connection between the limit hooks and the limit plates, thereby separating adjacent pallets near the outlet. This makes it easier for operators to remove the pallets one by one, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a new type of steam-moisturizing integrated machine includes a steam-moisturizing chamber 1 and tracks 2 arranged on both sides of the inner surface of the steam-moisturizing chamber 1, with multiple trays 3 movably arranged on the tracks 2;

[0027] It also includes:

[0028] Limit hook 4 is located on one side of tray 3;

[0029] The limiting plate 5 is slidably disposed on the other side of the tray 3. The limiting hook 4 cooperates with the limiting plate 5 to connect two adjacent trays 3.

[0030] The extrusion block 6 is slidably disposed on both sides of the limiting plate 5. The extrusion block 6 extrudes the limiting plate 5, causing the limiting plate 5 to descend.

[0031] Bearing pulleys 32 are provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the tray 3, which greatly reduces the friction between the tray 3 and the track 2, making the movement of the tray 3 on the track 2 smoother. The tray 3 is provided with handles 31, which makes it convenient for operators to push or pull the tray 3.

[0032] A mounting frame 7 is provided on one side of the tray 3. The mounting frame 7 has a receiving cavity 71. The limiting plate 5 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 7. The limiting hook 4 can be embedded between the limiting plate 5 and the tray 3. One side of the limiting hook 4 is rounded.

[0033] A spring 52 is provided between the limiting plate 5 and the receiving cavity 71 to provide an upward elastic force to the limiting plate 5. When the tray 3 is connected, the limiting plate 5 can fit tightly against the limiting hook 4 to enhance the stability of the connection. Pressure blocks 51 are provided on both sides of the limiting plate 5, and inclined surfaces are provided on the pressure blocks 51.

[0034] The squeezing block 6 is slidably disposed on both sides of the mounting frame 7. The squeezing block 6 has an inclined surface that cooperates with the pressure block 51. By squeezing the pressure block 51, the limiting plate 5 is lowered, and the tray 3 is separated.

[0035] A baffle plate 21 is provided at one end of the track 2, which can block the movement path of the tray 3. A U-shaped plate 8 is provided at the other end of the track 2, which can squeeze the extrusion block 6 to ensure that the extrusion block 6 can be reliably squeezed when the tray 3 moves to a specific position. The track 2 provides a stable movement path for the tray 3, ensuring that the tray 3 can move along the preset trajectory and avoid random deviation.

[0036] It should be noted that in the new integrated steam moistening machine, the inner surface of the steam moistening chamber 1 is provided with rails 2 on both sides. The tray 3 on the rails 2 can move freely along the rails 2. The bearing pulleys 32 installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the tray 3 greatly ensure the smoothness of the tray 3's sliding. The handle 31 equipped on the tray 3 provides operators with a convenient way to operate. The baffle 21 set at one end of the rails 2 can effectively block the movement path of the tray 3 and prevent the tray 3 from slipping during movement, thus playing a safety protection role. The U-shaped plate 8 at the other end of the rails 2 realizes the automatic separation operation of the tray 3 by squeezing the extrusion block 6, which improves the convenience and efficiency of the equipment.

[0037] Two adjacent trays 3 are stably connected through a unique connection structure. Specifically, a limit hook 4 is provided on one side of the tray 3, while on the other side, a limit plate 5 slides through the mounting frame 7. The mounting frame 7 is located on the corresponding side of the tray 3 and has a receiving cavity 71 inside. The limit hook 4 can be precisely embedded between the limit plate 5 and the tray 3. It is worth mentioning that one side of the limit hook 4 adopts a rounded corner design. During the connection process, when one tray 3 is pushed in and abuts against the adjacent tray 3, the limit hook 4 with the rounded corner can smoothly squeeze the limit plate 5, driving the limit plate 5 to descend until the limit hook 4 is stably embedded between the limit plate 5 and the tray 3, thereby completing the connection between the adjacent trays 3. The spring 52 provided between the limit plate 5 and the receiving cavity 71 provides upward elasticity to the limit plate 5, ensuring the stability of the connection. The pressure blocks 51 on both sides of the limit plate 5 have specific inclined surfaces, laying the foundation for the subsequent separation operation.

[0038] When it is necessary to remove the pallet 3 from the steaming chamber 1, the operator pulls the outermost pallet 3, causing multiple pallets 3 to move outward as a whole. When the pressing blocks 6 on both sides of the mounting frame 7 move to contact the U-shaped plate 8 at the other end of the track 2, the U-shaped plate 8 applies pressure to the pressing blocks 6. At this time, the inclined surface on the pressing block 6 that matches the pressure block 51 plays a role, pressing the pressure block 51, thereby driving the limiting plate 5 to descend, and finally releasing the connection between the limiting hook 4 and the limiting plate 5, realizing the separation of adjacent pallets 3 near the outlet of the steaming chamber 1, so that the operator can take out multiple pallets 3 from the steaming chamber 1 in sequence.

[0039] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
