It includes a stirring tank body, a stirring tank cover fixedly connected to the top of the stirring tank body, four fixed blocks fixedly connected to the outer side of the stirring tank body, and support legs fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the four fixed blocks. A first motor is fixedly connected to the top of the stirring tank cover, and a stirring shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor. By setting the first motor, the stirring shaft can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the sleeve shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blades to rotate, thereby stirring the traditional Chinese medicine powder to ensure thorough mixing. A scraper is provided, and by rotating the scraper, the traditional Chinese medicine powder adhering to the inner wall of the stirring tank body can be scraped off, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the inner wall of the stirring tank body and achieving thorough mixing of the traditional Chinese medicine powder.
[0004] Some problems were found when using the existing mixing device for a traditional Chinese medicine powder mixer. First, due to improper storage, various powder base materials may clump together. If they are poured directly into the mixing device, the clumps cannot be effectively broken up, resulting in poor mixing effect. Second, due to the poor flowability of the powder, it is necessary to stir for a long time to achieve the desired mixing effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mixing and stirring device for Chinese herbal medicine powders to solve the existing problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mixing and stirring device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, comprising a support frame and a crushing ball, a support shaft rotatably mounted inside the support frame, a mixing barrel rotatably mounted on the support shaft, a rotating plate rotatably mounted inside the mixing barrel, the front end of the support shaft being fixedly connected to the rotating plate, a disturbance scraper being fixedly connected to the front of the rotating plate near the edge, the disturbance scraper being in contact with the inner wall of the mixing barrel, a threaded sleeve being embedded and installed at the rear of the mixing barrel, a limit bolt being installed in the threaded sleeve, and the crushing ball being placed inside the mixing barrel.
[0007] Preferably, the support has an clearance groove on the front and a drive motor is fixedly connected to the rear of the support, with the output end of the drive motor fixedly connected to the rear end of the support shaft.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mixing and stirring device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, including a support 1 and a crushing ball 9. A support shaft 2 is rotatably installed inside the support 1, and a mixing barrel 3 is rotatably installed on the support shaft 2. A rotating plate 301 is rotatably installed inside the mixing barrel 3. The front end of the support shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 301. A disturbance scraper 302 is fixedly connected to the front of the rotating plate 301 near the edge. The lower part of the disturbance scraper 302 is attached to the inner wall of the mixing barrel 3. A threaded sleeve block 305 is embedded and installed at the rear of the mixing barrel 3. A limit bolt 306 is installed in the threaded sleeve block 305. The crushing ball 9 is placed inside the mixing barrel 3.
[0023] In this embodiment, the mixing barrel 3 is rotatably mounted on the support shaft 2, and the rotating plate 301 is rotatably mounted inside the mixing barrel 3. Tightening the limiting bolt 306 will cause its end to contact the rear of the rotating plate 301, thereby using friction to fix the mixing barrel 3 and the rotating plate 301 together. The support shaft 2 drives the rotating plate 301 to rotate, which in turn drives the mixing barrel 3 to rotate. The Chinese herbal powder to be mixed is put into the mixing barrel 3. During the rotation of the mixing barrel 3 and the rotating plate 301, the agitator scraper 302 will carry the Chinese herbal powder to a high position inside the mixing barrel 3, and then it will be shaken down to the bottom of the mixing barrel 3. During the continuous rotation, the powder inside will mix together after being lifted up. The crushing ball 9 is placed inside the mixing barrel 3. As the crushing ball 9 is continuously thrown down from a high position, it can be used to break up the clumps of powder, ensuring that the different Chinese herbal powders are fully mixed together.
[0024] In order to achieve the purpose of driving the mixing tank 3 to rotate, the device adopts the following technical solution: the support 1 has an avoidance groove 101 on the front, the support 1 has a drive motor 102 fixedly connected to the rear, the output end of the drive motor 102 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the support shaft 2, the mixing tank 3 has a filling port 303 fixedly connected to the front, and a sealing cap 304 is threaded on the filling port 303.
[0025] By cooperating with the clearance groove 101 and the limiting bolt 306, interference between the limiting bolt 306 and the bracket 1 is avoided during the rotation of the mixing tank 3. After the limiting bolt 306 is unscrewed to one end, the contact between the end of the limiting bolt 306 and the rotating plate 301 will be released. The backward movement of the limiting bolt 306 will interfere with the bracket 1, affecting the normal rotation of the mixing tank 3. The rotating plate 301 is not affected. The powder can be added into the mixing tank 3 through the filling port 303. The sealing cap 304 is threaded into the filling port 303 and can seal the end of the filling port 303 after the filling is completed.
[0026] To achieve the purpose of fixing the baffle plate 402 in the discharge trough 4, the device adopts the following technical solution: a discharge trough 4 is provided under the mixing tank 3, and limit grooves 401 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the discharge trough 4. A baffle plate 402 is slidably installed in the discharge trough 4. Limit sliders 403 are fixed to both sides of the baffle plate 402. The limit sliders 403 slide with the limit grooves 401. A limit fixing hole 404 is provided in the baffle plate 402. A handle 405 is fixed to the front of the baffle plate 402. A limit groove 5 is provided on the front of the mixing tank 3. A return spring 501 is fixed in the limit groove 5. A limit pin 502 is fixed to the other end of the return spring 501. A shift handle 503 is fixed to the limit pin 502. The limit pin 502 cooperates with the limit fixing hole 404.
[0027] By sliding the limiting slider 403 and the limiting groove 401 together, the baffle 402 can be slidably installed in the discharge trough 4. The baffle 402 can be moved by the handle 405. After the baffle 402 is moved out of the discharge trough 4, the mixed powder will be discharged from the discharge trough 4. When the mixing barrel 3 is restricted, the rotating plate 301 rotates alone. The rotation of the rotating plate 301 drives the agitation scraper 302 to rotate. The agitation scraper 302 adheres to the inner wall of the mixing barrel 3 and scrapes the powder inside the mixing barrel 3 and conveys it to the discharge trough 4 for discharge. The return spring 501 can provide a certain pushing force to the limiting pin 502. The limiting pin 502 will be inserted into the limiting fixing hole 404 when pushed, which can fix the baffle 402 inside the discharge trough 4. The shifting handle 503 can drive the limiting pin 502 to move.
[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using, unscrew the sealing cap 304, add the proportioned medicinal powder and crushing balls 9 through the filling port 303 into the mixing tank 3, then rotate the sealing cap 304 back on. Start the drive motor 102 to rotate the support shaft 2. The rotation of the support shaft 2 will cause the rotating plate 301 and the mixing tank 3 to rotate synchronously. Driven by the agitation scraper 302, the medicinal powder and crushing balls 9 inside the mixing tank 3 are thrown down from a high position inside the mixing tank 3, mixing the various powders together. After mixing is complete, stop starting the drive motor 102 and rotate... The limiting bolt 306 moves it backward by a certain distance. At this time, the drive motor 102 is started again to drive the rotating plate 301 to rotate. The backward-moving limiting bolt 306 will interfere with the bracket 1, restricting the mixing barrel 3 from being driven to rotate synchronously. The limiting pin 502 drives the return spring 501 to move out of the limiting fixing hole 404. The handle 405 drives the limiting fixing hole 404 to move forward out of the discharge trough 4. The rotation of the rotating plate 301 will drive the disturbance scraper 302 to rotate. The rotation of the disturbance scraper 302 will scrape the powder inside the mixing barrel 3 to the discharge trough 4, thereby discharging the powder that has been mixed inside.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
