Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically an environmentally friendly dust removal device for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of Chinese medicinal herb processing, dust removal is a key step in ensuring the quality and hygiene of medicinal materials.
[0003] Traditional methods for dust removal from Chinese medicinal herbs mainly include mechanical vibration dust removal and negative pressure dust collection. Mechanical vibration dust removal uses physical vibration to dislodge dust and impurities adhering to the surface of the herbs. While this method can remove some larger particles, it is ineffective at removing fine dust and stubborn stains. Furthermore, the vibration process can easily cause the herbs to break, resulting in material loss. Negative pressure dust collection uses suction to draw dust into a collection device; however, in practice, it easily generates dust, leading to excessively high dust concentrations in the working environment. This not only harms the health of operators but may also pose safety hazards such as dust explosions. Additionally, its dust removal efficiency is limited by the location of the suction port and the suction power, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive cleaning. In recent years, water washing has also been used for dust removal and cleaning of Chinese medicinal herbs. However, this method involves prolonged soaking of the herbs in water, resulting in the loss of a large amount of active ingredients, severely affecting the quality of the herbs. Moreover, the large amount of wastewater generated, if discharged directly without effective treatment, will pollute the environment and increase wastewater treatment costs. Furthermore, the herbs need to be dried after washing, which consumes a significant amount of energy.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an environmentally friendly dust removal device for processing Chinese medicinal materials. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feeding hopper and a flange. The feeding hopper is fixedly installed at the end of the first connecting pipe away from the sealing cylinder, and the surface of the feeding hopper is fixedly installed with the flange.

[0010] Preferably, a solenoid valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the surface of the sealing cylinder. The solenoid valve is connected to the sealing cylinder. In this scheme, the solenoid valve can seal the sealing cylinder during cleaning to prevent air from entering. After cleaning, the solenoid valve can quickly discharge the sewage inside the sealing cylinder and introduce fresh air to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside.
[0011] Preferably, an agitator is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the circular mesh. Several sets of agitator are provided, and the several sets of agitator are fixedly installed in a ring on the inner wall of the circular mesh. In this scheme, the agitator can continuously agitate the material according to the rotation of the circular mesh, making it more loose, thereby increasing the contact area between the material and the steam and improving the cleaning efficiency.

The system includes a second 51 and a vacuum pump 52. The second 51 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 1. One end of the second 51 is fixedly mounted to the circular cylindrical mesh 33. The second 51 is rotatably mounted to the sealing cylinder 31. The end of the second 51 away from the circular cylindrical mesh 33 is fixedly mounted to the vacuum pump 52. The input end of the vacuum pump 52 is connected to the second 51. The drive mechanism 6 includes a servo motor 61, a driven gear 62, and a drive gear 63. The servo motor 61 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed block 2 on the side away from the feed hopper 41. The output end of the servo motor 61 is fixedly mounted to the drive gear 63. The driven gear 62 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the second 51. The drive gear 63 meshes with the driven gear 62. A solenoid valve 70 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the surface of the sealing cylinder 31. The solenoid valve 70 is connected to the sealing cylinder 31. A stirring rod 80 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the circular cylindrical mesh 33. Several sets of stirring rods 80 are arranged in a ring and fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the circular cylindrical mesh 33.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the sealing cylinder 31 provides a sealed space for the circular mesh 33, allowing the gas inside the sealing cylinder 31 to be extracted. The first connecting pipe 32 can transport materials into the circular mesh 33, enabling the circular mesh 33 to clean the materials normally. The feed hopper 41 allows users to quickly pour materials into the circular mesh 33. The flange 42 allows users to easily connect the flange 42 to the evaporator, thereby achieving the function of transporting steam. The second 51, in conjunction with the vacuum pump 52, can extract the air inside the sealing cylinder 31, creating a vacuum state inside without sucking away the materials, and also providing steam circulation. The material can circulate inside the sealed cylinder 31.

[0026] Working Principle: During operation, the U-shaped frame 1 is first placed on a flat surface. The user then pours the Ophiopogon japonicus into the circular mesh 33 through the feed hopper 41 and the first connecting pipe 32. The feed hopper 41 is then connected to the evaporator via flange 42. Next, the servo motor 61 is started to drive the drive gear 63 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 63 drives the driven gear 62 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 51 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 51 then drives the circular mesh 33 to rotate. As the circular mesh 33 rotates, the Ophiopogon japonicus inside continuously tumbles. Simultaneously, the user starts the vacuum pump 52 to create a vacuum inside the sealing cylinder 31. Then, the evaporator is started to supply water vapor into the sealing cylinder 31. When the water vapor enters the sealing cylinder 31, the vacuum pump 52 continuously generates suction, causing the water vapor to swirl and tumble. Gas flows through the circular mesh 33 into the second 51. As the water vapor flows into the circular mesh 33, it continuously cleans the dust on the surface of the Ophiopogon japonicus inside. At the same time, due to the continuous rotation of the circular mesh 33, the Ophiopogon japonicus tumbles inside, allowing each piece to come into contact with the water vapor. As the water vapor continues to clean, the gas containing dust liquefies, and the liquid is then discharged outward through the circular mesh 33, eventually concentrating at the bottom of the inner wall of the sealed cylinder 31. After cleaning, the user needs to activate the solenoid valve 70 to discharge the wastewater, then remove the fixing block 2 and take out the sealed cylinder 31. Then, the material inside the circular mesh 33 can be poured out. At the same time, the user can connect the output end of the vacuum pump 52 to the evaporator to ensure that the water vapor can flow back into the sealed cylinder 31, thereby reducing waste and achieving an environmentally friendly effect.
