Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a pulverizing and drying device for extracting Sophora flavescens. Background Technology

[0002] As an important traditional Chinese medicine, the pulverization and drying process before the extraction of its effective components is crucial. However, in traditional processes, pulverization and drying equipment are often set up independently, and the material needs to be transferred multiple times to complete the processing. This is not only cumbersome and inefficient, but also prone to material loss or contamination. At the same time, the blade structure of traditional pulverizing devices is difficult to achieve uniform pulverization of Sophora flavescens root and rhizome materials. Drying equipment often uses static heating and lacks a stirring structure, resulting in uneven heating of the material, long drying time, and even the potential destruction of effective components due to local overheating. Furthermore, the fixed screen structure of the powder collection device after drying is inconvenient to clean and maintain. In addition, existing equipment generally suffers from high energy consumption and large footprint, making it difficult to meet the needs of high efficiency and convenience in industrial production.

[0040] The funnel 1 is located at the top center of the crushing chamber 201.

[0041] The following description, in conjunction with a preferred embodiment, illustrates the content involved in the above embodiments.

[0042] The working process of the device is as follows: First, the Sophora flavescens material is fed into the funnel 1, which is located at the top center of the crushing chamber 201. The material enters the crushing chamber 201 through the funnel 1.

The dried material falls from the bottom of the drying chamber 301 into the filter powder collection box 4. During the filtration process, larger particles are intercepted by the screen 402 and left above the screen, while fine powder passes through the screen holes and settles to the bottom of the box 401 under the action of gravity to complete the collection. After collection, the box 401 is pulled out horizontally by the handle 405, the screen 402 is lifted, and the filtered powder can be obtained.

[0044] This invention features a device that integrates a crushing mechanism and a drying mechanism on both the upper and lower levels of a support platform, connected by a discharge port. This design enables continuous operation of the crushing and drying process, avoiding material transfer and loss. The high-speed rotation of the crushing blade assembly, combined with the multi-layered fan-shaped stirring blades inside the drying chamber, improves the uniformity of material crushing and drying efficiency. The detachable structure of the screen and chamber facilitates powder filtration, collection, and equipment maintenance. The precise temperature control design, combining a ring-shaped heating element with a temperature control button, effectively solves the technical problems of low efficiency, poor material processing, and difficult maintenance in traditional processes while reducing energy consumption and floor space.
