Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine production technology, and more specifically, to a soaking device for traditional Chinese medicine production. Background Technology

[0002] Soaking devices are needed in the production of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to moisten and soften the herbs while removing impurities from their surface. However, existing soaking devices have certain shortcomings. For example, a soaking device for TCM production, as described in Chinese Patent Application No. CN202221591498.X, includes a soaking box with a drive motor mounted on its side. The output end of the drive motor has a threaded rod with opposite threads at both ends. The threaded rod extends into the soaking box and is rotatably connected to it. A sealing disc is provided at the connection between the threaded rod and the soaking box. A threaded sleeve is provided on the outside of the threaded rod, and it is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. A stirring rod is provided on the outer surface of the threaded sleeve. A groove is formed inside the soaking box. This invention, through the coordinated use of the drive motor, threaded rod, threaded sleeve, and stirring rod, can drive the stirring rod to circulate within the soaking box, ensuring sufficient contact between the water and the TCM herbs. A push plate further ensures the herbs are completely submerged in the water, preventing them from floating and improving the soaking quality.

[0003] However, the above solution still has some drawbacks: First, it is inconvenient to put all the medicinal materials directly into a single soaking box, making it difficult to separately package different types of Chinese medicine. Different types or batches of medicinal materials are easily mixed, and manual sorting is required later. Second, the water in the soaking box flows into the collection box through the outlet valve, but there may still be medicinal impurities inside the soaking box, which is inconvenient to clean, thus reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this application provides a soaking device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine, which aims to improve the related technology where all medicinal materials are directly put into a single soaking box, which is inconvenient for the independent packaging of different types of traditional Chinese medicine. Different types or batches of medicinal materials are easily mixed, and manual sorting is required later. In addition, the water in the soaking box flows into the collection box through the water outlet valve, but there may still be medicinal impurities inside the soaking box, which is inconvenient to clean, thus reducing the practicality of the device.

[0005] This application provides a soaking device for traditional Chinese medicine production, including a cleaning component and a sorting component.

[0006] The cleaning assembly includes a movable frame, a soaking tank, a rectangular tube, nozzles, a filter box, and a pump body. The soaking tank is fixedly connected to the movable frame, and the rectangular tube is fixedly connected to one side of the soaking tank. Several nozzles are obliquely arranged on one side of the rectangular tube. The filter box is fixedly connected to the movable frame, and the pump body is fixedly installed on one side of the filter box. The pump body is connected to the filter box via a water pipe and to the rectangular tube via a water pipe. The sorting assembly includes a lifting seat, annular clips, and mesh cylinders. The lifting seat is fixedly connected to one side of the soaking tank, and four annular clips are fixedly connected to the lifting seat. Four mesh cylinders are slidably engaged with four annular clips.

[0007] In one specific implementation, the mobile frame includes a fixed frame and casters, with all four casters fixedly connected to the fixed frame.

[0008] In the above implementation process, the fixed frame can provide support, and the casters can facilitate movement and transfer to different areas.

[0009] In one specific implementation, the soaking tank has a water inlet on one side and a water outlet valve at one end.

[0010] In the above process, a water inlet is provided through one side of the soaking tank to facilitate the injection of water into the soaking tank, and a water outlet valve is used to control the drainage.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the filter box includes a box body, a sliding frame, a first filter screen, a second filter screen, and an activated carbon layer. The sliding frame is slidably connected to the box body, and the first filter screen, the second filter screen, and the activated carbon layer are all fixedly installed on one side of the sliding frame.

[0012] In the above process, the soaked water can be filtered through the first and second filter screens, and impurities can be adsorbed through the activated carbon layer, thereby improving the water's cleanliness.

[0013] In one specific implementation, the lifting seat includes a bracket, a hydraulic cylinder, and a disc, wherein the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bracket, and the disc is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0014] In the above process, the disc is moved by a hydraulic cylinder, thereby adjusting the height of the disc, which makes it easy to move the net cylinder into or out of the water.

[0015] In one specific implementation, the annular fastener includes a circular ring, arc-shaped blocks, and springs. The four arc-shaped blocks are slidably connected to the circular ring, and the four springs are fixedly installed inside the circular ring and fixedly connected to the four arc-shaped blocks.

[0016] In the above implementation process, the spring and the curved block can play a locking role.

[0017] In one specific implementation, the surface of the mesh cylinder is provided with four grooves, and the four arc-shaped blocks are slidably connected to the four grooves.

[0018] In the above implementation process, the surface of the mesh cylinder is provided with four grooves. When the mesh cylinder needs to be disassembled, the grooves are squeezed against the arc-shaped block by pulling the mesh cylinder, causing the arc-shaped block to move into the inner ring, thereby causing the grooves and the arc-shaped block to be misaligned, which can disassemble the mesh cylinder. The reverse operation can be used to install the mesh cylinder.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: First, different types of Chinese medicine are placed into four mesh cylinders, which are then connected to four annular clips. This snap-fit ​​connection method facilitates the disassembly and installation of the mesh cylinders. The four mesh cylinders can be moved into the soaking tank for soaking via a lifting seat. Therefore, it is convenient to independently package different types of Chinese medicine. After soaking, the water enters the filter tank for filtration. The pump body can deliver the filtered water to the rectangular pipe, and the nozzle can rinse the inside of the soaking tank to clean up any remaining impurities. This facilitates the independent packaging and soaking of different types of Chinese medicine, and also makes it easier to clean up any remaining impurities in the soaking tank, reducing water waste and improving practicality.

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 This application provides a soaking device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine, including a cleaning component 100 and a sorting component 200.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-3 The cleaning assembly 100 includes a movable frame 110, a soaking tank 120, a rectangular tube 130, a nozzle 140, a filter box 150, and a pump body 160. The soaking tank 120 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 110. The rectangular tube 130 is fixedly connected to one side of the soaking tank 120. Several nozzles 140 are inclinedly arranged on one side of the rectangular tube 130. The filter box 150 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 110. The pump body 160 is fixedly installed on one side of the filter box 150. The pump body 160 is connected to the filter box 150 through a water pipe and to the rectangular tube 130 through a water pipe. The movable frame 110 includes a fixed frame 111 and casters 112. All four casters 112 are fixedly connected to the fixed frame 111. The fixed frame 111 provides support, and the casters 112 facilitate movement and transfer to different areas.

[0029] In some specific implementation schemes, a water inlet 121 is provided through one side of the soaking tank 120, and a water outlet valve 122 is provided at one end of the soaking tank 120. The water inlet 121 facilitates the injection of water into the soaking tank 120, and the water outlet valve 122 is used to control the drainage. The filter box 150 includes a box body 151, a sliding frame 152, a first filter screen 153, a second filter screen 154, and an activated carbon layer 155. The sliding frame 152 is slidably connected to the box body 151. The first filter screen 153, the second filter screen 154, and the activated carbon layer 155 are all fixedly installed on one side of the sliding frame 152. The first filter screen 153 and the second filter screen 154 can filter the soaked water, and the activated carbon layer 155 can adsorb impurities, thereby improving the cleanliness of the water.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The sorting component 200 includes a lifting seat 210, annular clips 220, and a net cylinder 230. The lifting seat 210 is fixedly connected to one side of the soaking tank 120. All four annular clips 220 are fixedly connected to the lifting seat 210. All four net cylinders 230 are slidably engaged with the four annular clips 220. The lifting seat 210 includes a bracket 211, a hydraulic cylinder 212, and a disc 213. The hydraulic cylinder 212 is fixedly connected to the bracket 211, and the disc 213 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 212. The disc 213 is moved by the hydraulic cylinder 212, thereby adjusting the height of the disc 213 and facilitating the movement of the net cylinder 230 into or out of the water.

[0031] In some specific implementations, the annular clip 220 includes a circular ring 221, arc-shaped blocks 222, and springs 223. All four arc-shaped blocks 222 are slidably connected to the circular ring 221, and all four springs 223 are fixedly installed inside the circular ring 221 and fixedly connected to the four arc-shaped blocks 222. The springs 223 and the arc-shaped blocks 222 serve as a locking mechanism. The surface of the mesh cylinder 230 is provided with four grooves 231, and the four arc-shaped blocks 222 are slidably connected to the four grooves 231. When the mesh cylinder 230 needs to be disassembled, pulling the mesh cylinder 230 causes the grooves 231 to press against the arc-shaped blocks 222, causing the arc-shaped blocks 222 to move into the circular ring 221. This causes the grooves 231 and the arc-shaped blocks 222 to misalign, allowing the mesh cylinder 230 to be disassembled. Conversely, this operation allows the mesh cylinder 230 to be installed.

[0032] The working principle of this soaking device for traditional Chinese medicine production is as follows: Different types of traditional Chinese medicine are first placed into four mesh cylinders 230. Each mesh cylinder 230 is then engaged with one of four annular clips 220. When disassembly of a mesh cylinder 230 is required, pulling the mesh cylinder 230 causes the groove 231 to press against the arc-shaped block 222, moving the arc-shaped block 222 inwards towards the annular ring 221. This misalignment between the groove 231 and the arc-shaped block 222 allows for disassembly of the mesh cylinder 230. The snap-fit ​​connection facilitates the disassembly and installation of the mesh cylinder 230. A hydraulic cylinder 212 moves the disc 213, thereby... By adjusting the height of the disc 213, four mesh cylinders 230 can be moved into the soaking tank 120 for soaking. This allows for the independent packaging of different types of Chinese medicine. The soaked water then enters the filter tank 150 for filtration. The pump 160 delivers the filtered water to the rectangular tube 130, and the nozzle 140 rinses the inside of the soaking tank 120 to remove any remaining impurities. This facilitates the independent packaging and soaking of different types of Chinese medicine, while also removing any remaining impurities from the soaking tank 120, reducing water waste and improving practicality.

[0033] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the pump body 160 and hydraulic cylinder 212 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0034] The power supply and operating principle of the pump body 160 and the hydraulic cylinder 212 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
