Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal plant processing technology, and in particular to an air separation device for medicinal plant processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of medicinal plants, air separation is a key step in removing impurities and separating materials of different weights. It can effectively improve the purity and quality of medicinal plants. Traditional air separation of medicinal plants mostly adopts manual screening or simple wind separation. Manual screening is extremely inefficient and greatly affected by human factors, making it difficult to ensure the consistency and accuracy of screening. Simple wind separation has the problem of uneven wind distribution, resulting in incomplete separation of medicinal plants from impurities, which seriously affects the processing quality and subsequent use effect of medicinal plants.

[0003] With the development of technology, some air separation equipment for medicinal plants has appeared on the market, but these devices still have many shortcomings. The feeding speed of some devices is difficult to control precisely, which can easily cause material accumulation or discontinuous feeding, affecting the air separation efficiency. In addition, the filtration and collection structure of some devices is not reasonably designed, which makes it impossible to effectively collect impurities. Moreover, the filter screen is difficult to clean and requires frequent disassembly and maintenance, which increases the cost of use and labor intensity, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern medicinal plant processing for high efficiency and precision. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air separation device for processing medicinal plants, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art of unreasonable filtration and collection structure design, which makes it impossible to effectively collect impurities.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an air separation device for processing medicinal plants, comprising a main body, a controller fixedly disposed at the front of the main body, a feed trough fixedly disposed at the top of the main body, an air filter fixedly disposed on the left side of the main body, an air pump fixedly disposed on the inner right side of the main body, the air inlet of the air pump extending to the outside of the device, an air outlet pipe fixedly disposed at the air outlet of the air pump, a guide plate fixedly disposed on the inner left side of the main body, a discharge port fixedly disposed on the left side of the main body, a collection trough fixedly disposed below the discharge port, and a positioning block fixedly disposed on the lower left side of the inner side of the main body.

[0006] A spring rod is fixedly installed above the positioning block, a filter plate is fixedly installed above the spring rod, and a vibration motor is fixedly installed on the lower right side of the filter plate.

[0007] The filter plate is fixedly provided with a collection drawer below it, and the collection drawer is fixedly provided with a drawer handle. The main body of the device is fixedly provided with a base below it, and the base is fixedly provided with locking casters.

[0008] The feed trough is funnel-shaped with smooth inner walls. An adjustable flow restrictor is installed at the lower end of the feed trough where it connects to the interior of the device body to control the feeding speed of the medicinal plants.

[0009] The exhaust filter is detachably installed on the left side of the main body of the device. The mesh density of the exhaust filter can be changed according to the air separation requirements. A sealing strip is provided at the connection between the exhaust filter and the main body of the device.

[0010] The air outlet pipe is arranged in a grid pattern inside the main body of the device. Multiple air nozzles are evenly arranged on the air outlet pipe, and the air nozzles face the left side of the main body of the device. The size of the air nozzles can be adjusted by the controller.

[0011] The collection drawer is slidably connected to the bottom inner side of the device body, and the opening size of the collection drawer is adapted to the size of the filter plate.

[0012] This utility model discloses an air-separation device for processing medicinal plants. By activating the air pump, lighter impurities are blown up by the airflow and move to the left. When the impurities pass through the outlet filter, the filter intercepts them. The intercepted impurities fall downwards due to the loss of airflow support. Under the combined action of gravity and residual airflow, these falling impurities slide downwards and to the left along the guide plate, eventually falling from the outlet into the collection tank below, completing the initial collection of impurities. Larger impurities cannot pass through the mesh of the filter plate and remain on the filter screen. Clean medicinal plants, due to their suitable weight and shape, will pass through the mesh of the filter plate and fall into the collection drawer below. After the collection is completed, the operator can pull out the collection drawer using the drawer handle to complete the screening of medicinal plants. In addition, the collection drawer is slidably connected to the bottom inner side of the device body, and the opening size is adapted to the filter plate, facilitating the transfer and subsequent processing of the collected medicinal plants.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an air separation device for processing medicinal plants, including a device body 1, a controller 2 fixedly installed at the front of the device body 1, a feed trough 3 fixedly installed above the device body 1, an air filter 4 fixedly installed on the left side of the device body 1, an air pump 5 fixedly installed on the inner right side of the device body 1, the air inlet end of the air pump 5 extending to the outside of the device, an air outlet pipe 6 fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the air pump 5, a guide plate 7 fixedly installed on the inner left side of the device body 1, a discharge port 8 fixedly installed on the left side of the device body 1, a collection trough 9 fixedly installed below the discharge port 8, and a positioning block 10 fixedly installed on the lower left side of the inner side of the device body 1.

[0021] A spring rod 11 is fixedly installed above the positioning block 10, a filter plate 12 is fixedly installed above the spring rod 11, a vibration motor 13 is fixedly installed on the lower right side of the filter plate 12, a collection drawer 14 is fixedly installed below the filter plate 12, a drawer handle 15 is fixedly installed on the collection drawer 14, a base 16 is fixedly installed below the main body 1 of the device, and a locking caster wheel 17 is fixedly installed below the base 16.

[0022] The feed trough 3 is funnel-shaped and has a smooth inner wall. An adjustable flow restrictor is provided at the lower end of the feed trough 3 where it connects to the inside of the main body 1 of the device to control the feeding speed of the medicinal plants. The exhaust filter 4 is detachably installed on the left side of the main body 1 of the device. The mesh density of the exhaust filter 4 can be replaced according to the air separation requirements. A sealing strip is provided at the connection between the exhaust filter 4 and the main body 1 of the device. The exhaust pipe 6 is distributed in a grid pattern inside the main body 1 of the device. Multiple air jets are evenly arranged on the exhaust pipe 6, and the direction of the air jets is towards the left side of the main body 1 of the device. The size of the air jets can be adjusted by the controller 2. The collection drawer 14 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the main body 1 of the device, and the opening size of the collection drawer 14 is adapted to the size of the filter plate 12.

[0023] Working Principle: During operation, the operator first places the medicinal plants to be processed into the feeding trough 3. The feeding trough 3 is funnel-shaped with smooth inner walls. An adjustable flow restrictor is installed at the lower end where it connects to the inside of the main body 1 of the device. By adjusting the flow restrictor, the feeding speed can be precisely controlled to ensure that the medicinal plants enter the main body 1 of the device evenly and stably. Next, the air pump 5 is turned on. The air pump 5 draws in air from the outside of the device through the air inlet and outputs it through the air outlet pipe 6. The air outlet pipe 6 is distributed in a grid pattern inside the main body 1 of the device, with multiple air jets evenly arranged on it facing the left side of the main body 1 of the device. In this way, the air will be sprayed out from the air jets in a uniform airflow. The operator can flexibly adjust the size of the air jets through the controller 2 to control the airflow intensity to meet the air separation requirements of different medicinal plants. Under the action of the airflow, lighter impurities are blown up and move to the left with the airflow. When the impurities pass through the air outlet filter 4, the air outlet filter 4 will intercept the impurities. As the impurities lose their lifting force from the airflow, they fall downwards. Under the combined action of gravity and residual airflow, these falling impurities slide downwards and to the left along the guide plate 7, eventually falling from the outlet 8 into the collection tank 9 below, completing the initial collection of impurities. At the same time, the filter plate 12 located on the lower inner side of the main body 1 vibrates under the drive of the vibration motor 13. When the impurities blown up by the airflow pass through the filter plate 12, larger impurities cannot pass through the mesh of the filter plate 12 and remain on the filter screen; while clean medicinal plants, due to their suitable weight and shape, will pass through the mesh of the filter plate 12 and fall into the collection drawer 14 below. After the collection work is completed, the operator can pull out the collection drawer 14 through the drawer handle 15 to complete the screening of medicinal plants. In addition, the collection drawer 14 is slidably connected to the bottom inner side of the main body 1, and the opening size is adapted to the filter plate 12, which facilitates the transfer and subsequent processing of the collected medicinal plants.

[0024] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
