Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a granulation device for the production of Polygonatum sibiricum. Background Technology

[0002] Polygonatum is a common medicinal plant. When producing Polygonatum, a corresponding granulation device is needed to crush the dried Polygonatum and then mix it with other excipients in a certain proportion. After mixing evenly, the mixture is granulated. Once Polygonatum is made into granules, it is easy to store and use.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent in China with patent publication number CN222057271U, which discloses a granulator for traditional Chinese medicine granules. The granulator is roughly described as follows: it includes a worktable with an extruder fixed above it; the extruder includes an extrusion pipe and an extruder screw rotatably connected within the extrusion pipe; the extrusion pipe has an outlet at its end. During use, a mixture formed by thoroughly mixing concentrated extracts of traditional Chinese medicine with excipients is placed into a feed hopper. Because the feed hopper is connected to the extrusion pipe, the mixture enters the extrusion pipe through the feed hopper, and is then transported by the extruder screw and... The mixture is extruded from the outlet and then cut by a cutting device to produce Chinese medicine granules. This invention produces Chinese medicine granules in a way that eliminates the need for further cutting, which is convenient. However, the above device still has some shortcomings. For example, it is not convenient to directly dry the cut Chinese medicine granules. Instead, the granules are directly collected into a collection frame, which may cause the granules to clump or stick together, making them inconvenient for subsequent storage or use. Therefore, we propose a granulation device for the production of Polygonatum sibiricum. Utility Model Content

[0027] Base 2, the granulation mechanism 1 is mounted on base 2;

[0028] The drying mechanism is mounted on the base 2 and includes a workbench 3 and a hot air blower 4. Both the workbench 3 and the hot air blower 4 are fixedly connected to the base 2. Two fixed plates 5 are fixedly connected to the workbench 3, and multiple telescopic rods 1 6 and multiple telescopic rods 2 7 are fixedly connected to the two fixed plates 5 respectively. A collection trough 8 is fixedly connected between the multiple telescopic rods 1 6 and the multiple telescopic rods 2 7. Multiple inclined blocks 9 are fixedly connected inside the collection trough 8. Springs are fitted on the telescopic rods 1 6. A motor 10 is mounted on the workbench 3, and the output end of the motor 10 passes through the workbench 3 and is fixedly fitted with an elliptical block 11. An arc is fixedly connected to the collection trough 8. The elliptical block 11 is adapted to the arc-shaped groove 12. Two support frames 13 are fixedly connected on the worktable 3. A bellows 14 is fixedly connected between the two support frames 13. The bellows 14 has multiple air outlets. The bellows 14 is connected to the air outlet of the hot air blower 4 through an air supply pipe. The hot air blower 4 is used to blow out hot air. The bellows 14 and multiple air outlets are used to blow out hot air over a large area. The hot air is used to dry the Polygonatum granules. The motor 10 is used to drive the elliptical block 11 to rotate. The elliptical block 11 is used to push the arc-shaped groove 12 to move. The spring is used to apply elastic force to realize the left and right swaying of the collection tank 8, which facilitates the dispersion of the granules.

[0029] The collection mechanism is mounted on the base 2 and includes a slide 15. A slider 16 is slidably connected in the slide 15. An electric cylinder 17 is installed through the slide 15. The output end of the electric cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the slider 16. A movable plate 18 is fixedly connected to the slider 16. Two collection boxes 19 are placed on the movable plate 18. The electric cylinder 17 is used to move the movable plate 18. The two collection boxes 19 are used to continuously collect Polygonatum sibiricum granules, avoiding manual replacement and facilitating the handling and movement of the collection boxes 19 filled with Polygonatum sibiricum granules.

[0030] A limiting frame 20 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 18. Both collection boxes 19 are located within the limiting frame 20, which is used to limit the two collection boxes 19 and improve the stability of the collection boxes 19.

[0031] Multiple support pulleys 21 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 18 to support the movable plate 18 and facilitate the movement and adjustment of the movable plate 18.

[0032] Two fixed shafts 22 are fixedly connected inside the slide groove 15, and the slider 16 is slidably connected to the two fixed shafts 22 to improve the stability of the slider 16.

[0033] Two handles 23 are fixedly connected to the collection box 19 to facilitate staff to change and lift the collection box 19.

[0034] It should be further explained that the hot air blower 4, motor 10 and electric cylinder 17 in this embodiment are conventional equipment known to those skilled in the art and available on the market. Models can be selected or customized according to actual needs. In this patent, we only use them without improving their structure and function. Their setting method, installation method and electrical connection method can be debugged and operated by those skilled in the art according to the requirements of their instruction manual, and will not be described in detail here. The hot air blower 4, motor 10 and electric cylinder 17 are equipped with matching control switches. The installation position of the control switches can be selected according to actual use needs to facilitate operation and control by the operator.

[0035] In summary, the working principle and process of the granulation device for Polygonatum production are as follows: First, the granulation device is placed at the desired location. Then, during use, the mixture of Polygonatum and other auxiliary materials is fed into the granulation mechanism 1, which produces Polygonatum granules. The granules fall into the collection tank 8. The motor 10 and the hot air blower 4 are started. The motor 10 drives the elliptical block 11 to rotate, which in turn moves the arc-shaped groove 12 and the collection tank 8. At this time, the spring is compressed, and then, due to the spring's own elasticity, the spring rebounds, pushing the collection tank 8 back to its original position. This causes the collection tank 8 to sway left and right, and the Polygonatum granules fall onto the collection tank 8 and multiple inclined blocks 9, gradually dispersing. The hot air blower 4 delivers hot air through the air supply pipe to the air box 14, and the hot air is discharged through multiple air outlets. The airflow facilitates the drying of the Polygonatum granules, which then fall into the collection box 19. Once the collection box 19 is full, the electric cylinder 17 is activated. The electric cylinder 17 drives the slider 16, the moving plate 18, and the two collection boxes 19 to move, making it easier for a new collection box 19 to collect the Polygonatum granules. This allows the staff to easily remove the collection box 19 full of Polygonatum granules for replacement. The granulation mechanism 1 involved in this solution is the authorized technology disclosed in the utility model patent with Chinese Patent Publication (Announcement) No. CN222057271U. Its internal structure and working principle are well known to those skilled in the art and are not the innovation of this patent. The innovation of this patent lies in the drying and collection of granules, which facilitates better storage or use. Therefore, this patent will not elaborate on its internal structure and working principle.

[0036] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but 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 several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
