Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sterilization technology of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and in particular relates to a microwave sterilization device for preparing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are the processed and prepared medicinal materials that can be directly used in the prescription or preparation production of traditional Chinese medicine clinical practice. During the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, sterilization treatment is required to kill or inhibit microorganisms (such as bacteria and mold) attached to the surface and inside of the decoction pieces. This can effectively prevent the decoction pieces from becoming moldy and rotten, and ensure their storage stability and clinical medication safety.

[0003] Currently, existing microwave sterilization devices typically place medicinal slices statically inside the sterilization chamber for irradiation. This can lead to localized accumulation of the slices, forming an uneven structure with a loose upper layer and a dense lower layer. Consequently, the microwave energy distribution becomes severely unbalanced. The upper layer of slices absorbs excessive energy, causing a rapid temperature increase and resulting in the loss of effective components. Meanwhile, the lower layer suffers from severe microwave attenuation, making it difficult for energy to penetrate to the center of the stack, resulting in incomplete sterilization.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a microwave sterilization device for preparing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microwave sterilization device for preparing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a microwave sterilization device for preparing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, including a sterilization cabinet with a door hinged to the front end, and multiple receiving frames arranged circumferentially on the outside of a rotating shaft I installed rotatably inside the sterilization cabinet. The top surface of the bottom plate of each receiving frame is fixedly connected to the bottom end of a rotating shaft II. The receiving frames revolve around the rotating shaft I, and the rotating shaft II drives the receiving frames to rotate on their own axis. Multiple flipping components, the same number as the receiving frames, are also included. Each flipping component includes a connecting plate respectively arranged above the receiving frame, and the bottom end of the connecting plate is fixed with multiple agitating teeth that extend into the receiving frame. The agitating teeth are used to agitate the decoction pieces inside the receiving frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting plates are respectively fixed to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft via fixing rods, and the outer wall of the first rotating shaft is fixed with connecting rods respectively connected to the second rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the second rotating shaft passes through the connecting rod and is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, and the top end of the second rotating shaft is fixedly provided with a gear one that meshes with the gear two. The gear two is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate of the sterilizer through a fixing block, and the gear two is provided with a clearance hole for the first rotating shaft to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the gear one, gear two and connecting rod are provided with an outer protective sleeve that is fixedly connected to the sterilization cabinet, and a rotating plate is rotatably installed on the lower end of the inner wall of the outer protective sleeve. The rotating shaft one and rotating shaft two both pass through the rotating plate and are rotatably connected to the rotating plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the sterilization cabinet, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving frame has multiple evenly distributed through holes.

[0013] Furthermore, a microwave generator and an ultraviolet lamp are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sterilization cabinet.

[0014] Furthermore, a controller is installed on the outer wall of the sterilization cabinet.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention uses a container frame to revolve around a rotating shaft to periodically move within the sterilizer, thus avoiding uneven distribution of microwave energy received by the container frame. The container frame rotates under the drive of a rotating shaft to ensure that the medicinal slices placed in each part of the container frame receive microwave energy evenly, avoiding local overheating or insufficient energy, and ensuring efficient utilization of microwave energy and balanced heating of the medicinal slices as a whole.

[0017] This invention utilizes the rotation of the container frame to create relative movement between the container frame and the flipping component. The agitating teeth flip the medicinal slices within the container frame, overcoming the problem of medicinal slice accumulation that is easily caused by traditional static stacking. This ensures that each medicinal slice is evenly exposed to microwaves during the sterilization process, eliminating sterilization blind spots.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model is a microwave sterilization device for preparing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a sterilization cabinet 1 with a door hinged to the front end, and multiple receiving frames 2, which are circumferentially arranged outside a rotating shaft 3 rotatably installed inside the sterilization cabinet 1. The top surface of the bottom plate of the receiving frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 5. The receiving frame 2 revolves around the rotating shaft 3, and the rotating shaft 5 drives the receiving frame 2 to rotate. Multiple flipping components 4, the same number as the receiving frames 2, are also included. Each flipping component 4 includes a connecting plate 401 respectively arranged above the receiving frame 2, and multiple agitating teeth 402 extending into the receiving frame 2 are fixed at the bottom end of the connecting plate 401. The agitating teeth 402 are used to agitate the medicinal slices inside the receiving frame 2.

[0029] This embodiment provides a microwave sterilization device for preparing Chinese herbal medicine slices. When the rotating shaft 3 drives the container frame 2 to revolve, the position of the container frame 2 changes continuously within the sterilization cabinet 1, avoiding uneven microwave energy reception due to a fixed position. Furthermore, the rotation of the container frame 2 ensures that the slices can be evenly exposed to microwave energy, improving the uniformity of the sterilization effect. During the rotation of the container frame 2, it moves relative to the flipping component 4. The agitating teeth 402 agitate the slices placed in the container frame 2, continuously flipping the slices to expose new surfaces, thus preventing insufficient deep sterilization due to microwave absorption by the surface layer caused by dense stacking.

[0030] The connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 via a fixing rod 403. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly provided with connecting rods 6 that are connected to the rotating shaft 5. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the fixing rod 403 and the connecting rod 6 drive the connecting plate 401 and the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous revolution of the flipping component 4 and the rotating shaft 5.

[0031] The rotating shaft 2 5 passes through the connecting rod 6 and is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 6. The top end of the rotating shaft 2 5 is fixed with a gear 1 7 that meshes with the gear 2 8. The gear 2 8 is fixed to the bottom surface of the top plate of the sterilizer 1 through a fixing block 801. The gear 2 8 has a clearance hole 802 for the rotating shaft 1 3 to pass through. When the rotating shaft 1 3 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 2 5 to rotate through the connecting rod 6, thereby causing the gear 1 7 to rotate around the rotating shaft 1 3. The meshing transmission between the gear 2 8 and the gear 1 7 causes the gear 1 7 to rotate. The gear 1 7 drives the receiving frame 2 to rotate through the rotating shaft 2 5. The clearance hole 802 avoids motion interference between the rotating shaft 1 3 and the gear 2 8.

[0032] Among them, the gear 1 7, gear 2 8 and connecting rod 6 are provided with an outer protective sleeve 9 that is fixedly connected to the sterilizer 1, and a rotating plate 10 is rotatably installed on the lower end of the inner wall of the outer protective sleeve 9. The rotating shaft 1 3 and rotating shaft 2 5 both pass through the rotating plate 10 and are rotatably connected to the rotating plate 10. The outer protective sleeve 9 is used to protect the gear transmission mechanism and prevent microwave leakage or foreign objects from entering.

[0033] The sterilizer 1 has a motor 11 fixedly mounted on its top surface, and the output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3. The motor 11 provides rotational power to the rotating shaft 3.

[0034] The receiving frame 2 has multiple evenly distributed through holes.

[0035] The inner wall of the sterilization cabinet 1 is fixed with a microwave generator 101 and an ultraviolet lamp 102. The microwave generator 101 generates microwaves that penetrate the medicinal slices and kill microorganisms through thermal and non-thermal effects. The ultraviolet lamp 102 assists in inactivating residual microorganisms.

[0036] The sterilizer 1 is equipped with a controller 12 on its outer wall. The controller 12 can set parameters such as motor speed, microwave power, ultraviolet intensity and sterilization time to achieve automated control and improve the convenience of operation.

[0037] Understandably, the container 2 of this utility model can revolve and rotate, so that the medicinal slices can be evenly exposed to microwave energy, thereby improving the uniformity of the sterilization effect. Secondly, the medicinal slices can be turned over to avoid sterilization dead corners.

[0038] A specific application of the operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The Chinese herbal medicine slices to be sterilized are evenly loaded into each container 2, the door of the sterilization cabinet 1 is closed, and the motor 11, microwave generator 101 and ultraviolet lamp 102 are turned on by the controller 12. The motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate at a constant speed. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, it simultaneously drives the rotating shaft 5 and the fixing rod 403 to rotate synchronously. The rotating shaft 5 drives the container 2 to revolve around the rotating shaft 3 through the connecting rod 6. The fixing rod 403 drives the flipping component 4 to revolve around the rotating shaft 3. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it drives the gear 7 to rotate around the rotating shaft 3. When the gear 7 rotates, it meshes with the gear 8 to make the gear 7 rotate on its own axis, which further drives the container 2 to rotate on its own axis through the rotating shaft 5.
