Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation technology for granular Chinese medicinal materials, specifically a fermentation device for granular Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the fermentation and processing of traditional Chinese medicine, such as Shenqu, Jianqu, and Dandouchi, medicinal materials need to be made into granules or blocks before being fermented. This is mainly used in traditional fermented Chinese medicine to enhance efficacy and absorption rate.

[0003] In the prior art, because the sealed design of the fermentation tank isolates the contamination of miscellaneous bacteria and avoids the mold growth of medicinal materials, Chinese medicinal materials are often fermented in fermentation tanks, such as the Chinese medicine fermentation tank proposed in patent application number "CN202421597326.2".

[0004] However, in the process of fermenting granular Chinese medicinal materials, existing fermentation devices may cause the granular Chinese medicinal materials to agglomerate, which may hinder the diffusion of heat and gas, resulting in local over-fermentation or under-fermentation of the granular Chinese medicinal materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fermentation device for granular Chinese medicinal materials to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A fermentation device for granular Chinese medicinal materials includes a support frame, a first fermentation tank and a second fermentation tank are arranged above the support frame, and a connecting pipe is fixedly connected between the first fermentation tank and the second fermentation tank for connecting the first fermentation tank and the second fermentation tank.

[0008] The inner wall of the connecting pipe has two symmetrical frustum-shaped cavities. Inside the connecting pipe is a rotatable extrusion component. The extrusion component is designed as two symmetrical frustum-shaped cavities. A pressure gap is formed between the surface of the extrusion component and the inner wall of the cavity of the connecting pipe. The size of the opening of the pressure gap gradually decreases from both ends of the connecting pipe towards the middle of the connecting pipe, so as to guide the granular Chinese medicinal materials.

[0009] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the top of the first fermentation tank, the output end of the drive motor extends into the interior of the first fermentation tank and is fixedly connected to a vertical rod, the vertical rod extends through the connecting pipe into the interior of the second fermentation tank, and the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the extrusion component.

[0010] Preferably, a stirring rod is fixedly connected to the vertical rod and located inside both the first and second fermentation tanks. The bottom opening of the second fermentation tank is threaded and connected to a sealing cap.

[0011] Preferably, a support block is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the support block via a bearing. A vertical connecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod. Fixing rings are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both the first fermentation tank and the second fermentation tank, and both fixing rings are fixed to the vertical connecting plate.

[0012] Preferably, a servo motor is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod.

[0013] Preferably, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the support frame, and a lifting concave connecting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder. A support ring is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting concave connecting plate, and the support ring is adapted to the bottom curved surface of the second fermentation tank.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention connects the first and second fermentation tanks via connecting pipes. By rotating the first and second fermentation tanks and exchanging their positions, granular Chinese medicinal materials are alternately fed into the first and second fermentation tanks through the connecting pipes. As the granular Chinese medicinal materials pass through the connecting pipes, the extrusion component, in conjunction with the pressure gaps, squeezes and disperses the agglomerated granular Chinese medicinal materials. The dispersed granular Chinese medicinal materials, through the pressure gaps, can significantly reduce the agglomeration of granular Chinese medicinal materials during fermentation, preventing agglomeration from hindering the diffusion of heat and gas, thus avoiding local over-fermentation or under-fermentation of the granular Chinese medicinal materials.

[0023] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fermentation device for granular Chinese medicinal materials includes a support frame 10, which includes two horizontal ends at different heights and a vertical end connecting the two horizontal ends. A first fermentation tank 1 and a second fermentation tank 2 are arranged above the support frame 10, and a connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected between the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2. The connecting pipe 3 is used to connect the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner wall of the connecting pipe 3 has two symmetrical truncated cavities. The connecting pipe 3 has a rotatable extrusion component 4 inside. The extrusion component 4 is located in the middle of the connecting pipe 3. The extrusion component 4 has two symmetrical truncated cavities. A pressure gap 5 is formed between the surface of the extrusion component 4 and the inner wall of the cavity of the connecting pipe 3. The opening size of the pressure gap 5 gradually decreases from both ends of the connecting pipe 3 to the middle of the connecting pipe 3, so as to guide the granular Chinese medicinal materials and make it easier for the granular Chinese medicinal materials to flow from the ends of the connecting pipe 3 to the middle area.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 A drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the first fermentation tank 1. The drive motor 6 has a built-in power supply and a corresponding control switch. The output end of the drive motor 6 extends into the interior of the first fermentation tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a vertical rod 7. The top of the first fermentation tank 1 is closed, and there is a rotary seal between its closed end and the drive motor 6, which does not affect the drive motor 6 from driving the vertical rod 7 to rotate. The vertical rod 7 passes through the connecting pipe 3 and extends into the interior of the second fermentation tank 2. The vertical rod 7 is fixedly connected to the extrusion component 4 and can drive the extrusion component 4 to rotate.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A stirring rod 8 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 7 and located inside both the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2. The bottom opening of the second fermentation tank 2 is threaded and connected to a sealing cap 9. The sealing cap 9 can be used to close the bottom opening of the second fermentation tank 2, so that the granular Chinese medicinal materials will not flow out when the second fermentation tank 2 is located below. When the second fermentation tank 2 is rotated to the top of the first fermentation tank 1, the sealing cap 9 can be opened to facilitate the addition of granular Chinese medicinal materials and fermentation agent.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A support block 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 10. The support block 11 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 12 via a bearing. One end of the rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to a vertical connecting plate 121. Fixing rings 122 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2. Both fixing rings 122 are fixed to the vertical connecting plate 121, so that the rotating rod 12 can drive the two fixing rings 122 to rotate through the vertical connecting plate 121. The fixing rings 122 drive the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 to rotate.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A servo motor 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 10. The servo motor 13 is connected to an external power supply and has a corresponding external control switch, which can rotate in the forward or reverse direction. The output end of the servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 12.

[0030] like Figure 1 A hydraulic cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on the support frame 10. The hydraulic cylinder 14 is existing technology and is equipped with a power source and a control switch. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to a lifting concave connecting plate 15. One end of the lifting concave connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to a support ring 16. The inner wall of the support ring 16 is curved and matches the bottom curved surface of the second fermentation tank 2. It can provide auxiliary support for the second fermentation tank 2 from the bottom and improve the stability of the equipment.

[0031] Before rotating the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2, the hydraulic cylinder 14 first contracts and drives the support ring 16 to move down through the lifting concave connecting plate 15. The support ring 16 separates from the second fermentation tank 2 and does not obstruct the rotation of the second fermentation tank 2.

[0032] When the first fermentation tank 1 rotates to the lower position, the hydraulic cylinder 14 extends and drives the support ring 16 to move upward through the lifting concave connecting plate 15. The support ring 16 passes through the drive motor 6 and abuts against the bottom curved surface of the first fermentation tank 1, providing auxiliary support for the first fermentation tank 1.

[0033] The working principle of the granular Chinese medicinal herb fermentation device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0034] The servo motor 13 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate. The rotating rod 12 can drive the two fixed rings 122 to rotate through the vertical connecting plate 121. The fixed rings 122 drive the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 to rotate. The positions of the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 can be exchanged by rotation.

[0035] During the fermentation of granular Chinese medicinal materials, the positions of the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 are switched every once in a while. The granular Chinese medicinal materials will pass through the connecting pipe 3. At the same time, the drive motor 6 drives the stirring rod 8 and the extrusion component 4 to rotate through the vertical rod 7. The stirring rod 8 can stir the granular Chinese medicinal materials.

[0036] When the extrusion component 4 rotates, the unagglomerated granular Chinese medicinal materials can pass directly through the compression gap 5, while the agglomerated granular Chinese medicinal materials cannot pass directly through the compression gap 5 due to their increased volume. The rotation of the extrusion component 4 will squeeze the agglomerated granular Chinese medicinal materials, breaking them up. The broken granular Chinese medicinal materials can then pass smoothly through the compression gap 5.

[0037] Compared with related technologies, the granular Chinese medicinal herb fermentation device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] This invention connects the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 via a connecting pipe 3. By rotating the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 to exchange positions, granular Chinese medicinal materials are alternately fed into the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 through the connecting pipe 3. When the granular Chinese medicinal materials pass through the connecting pipe 3, the extrusion component 4, in conjunction with the pressure gap 5, extrudes and disperses the agglomerated granular Chinese medicinal materials. The dispersed granular Chinese medicinal materials, through the pressure gap 5, can significantly reduce the agglomeration of granular Chinese medicinal materials during the fermentation process, preventing agglomeration from hindering the diffusion of heat and gas, and thus preventing local over-fermentation or under-fermentation of the granular Chinese medicinal materials.

[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
