Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine reference material processing technology, and in particular to a cooling box for traditional Chinese medicine reference materials. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) reference standards are standard substances extracted from TCM through extraction methods. These standards are typically dried and stored in a storage facility, where they are retrieved during extraction. The drying of TCM herbs mostly employs natural air drying or oven drying, with oven drying being the preferred method for efficiency. After drying, the herbs are cooled naturally. However, this cooling process makes it easy for moisture from the ground or air to re-enter the herbs, and the cooling rate is relatively slow, thus affecting the storage time of the TCM herbs and posing numerous challenges to their preservation. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a cooling box for Chinese medicine reference standards, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and solves the problem that medicinal materials are easily affected by moisture during the cooling process, thus having strong practicality.
[0004] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technology is proposed to be adopted:
[0005] A cooling box for traditional Chinese medicine reference standards includes a concave shell with an upper end, a lower end, and an opening at one end. An L-shaped cover is connected to the upper end of the concave shell via a hinge. An end flap is provided on the open end of the concave shell. The inner wall of the vertical section of the L-shaped cover abuts against the outer wall of the end flap. The end flap has a pair of vertical strips bent into place. A vertical hole is provided at the upper end of the vertical strips, and a connecting screw passes through the vertical hole. The outer end of the connecting screw is threaded to the concave shell. A box body is installed inside the lower end of the concave shell via screws. Connecting pipe heads are connected to both ends of the box body. The connecting pipe heads are connected to the cooling water tank of the box body. A top cover is sealed and fixed to the upper end of the box body. A pair of cooling pipes are provided on the top cover. The lower ends of the cooling pipes extend into the interior of the box body. A pair of fixing nuts are threaded to the lower ends of the cooling pipes. The fixing nuts are located on the upper and lower sides of the top cover.
[0006] Furthermore, the cooling pipe is composed of multiple U-shaped pipe fittings connected together.
[0007] Furthermore, the cooling pipes are made of copper alloy.
[0008] Furthermore, the interior of the box is provided with horizontal and vertical partitions. The length directions of the horizontal and vertical partitions are perpendicular to each other, and the cooling water tank of the box is divided into four areas by the horizontal and vertical partitions. The connecting pipes are respectively connected to the cooling water tank of the box.
[0009] Furthermore, fulcrum pins are welded to both sides of the concave shell, and a support plate is rotatably mounted on the fulcrum pin. A rod is welded to the inner wall of the other end of the support plate, and the inner end of the rod passes through the vertical bar.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower wall of the support plate is tangent to a limiting pin, which is welded to the side wall of the concave shell.
[0011] Furthermore, a concave handle is welded onto the end flap.
[0012] Furthermore, a pair of guide rails are welded to the inner sides of the concave shell, and a concave sleeve is fitted on the guide rails. An ejector plate is welded between the concave sleeves. The ejector plate is vertically arranged inside the concave shell, and an clearance hole is opened at the lower end of the ejector plate, through which the cooling pipe passes.
[0013] The advantages of the above technical solution are:
[0014] This invention first places the dried medicinal materials in a relatively sealed box to prevent them from getting damp during the cooling process. In order to increase the contact area between the medicinal materials and the cooling pipes, the cooling pipes are connected in a multi-U-shaped structure. When water is introduced into the cooling pipes, the medicinal materials can be cooled quickly by the cooling water.
[0015] Furthermore, to facilitate the discharge of medicinal materials, the flap is rotated to open during discharge, and then the medicinal materials are pushed out through the push plate. In order to lock the tilt angle of the flap, components such as insert rods and support plates are provided. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figures 1-4As shown, a cooling box for traditional Chinese medicine reference standards includes a concave shell 1 with an upper end, a lower end, and an opening at one end. An L-shaped cover plate 11 is connected to the upper end of the concave shell 1 via a hinge 10. An end flap 3 is provided at the open end of the concave shell 1, and a concave handle 33 is welded to the end flap 3. The inner wall of the vertical section of the L-shaped cover plate 11 abuts against the outer wall of the end flap 3. The end flap 3 has a pair of vertical strips 30 bent into it. A vertical hole 31 is provided at the upper end of each vertical strip 30, and a connecting screw 32 passes through the vertical hole 31. The outer end of the connecting screw 32 is threaded onto the concave shell 1. A box body 5 is installed inside the lower end of the concave shell 1 via screws. The two ends of the box body 5 are... A connecting pipe head 55 is connected to the cooling water tank of the box body 5. The upper end of the box body 5 is sealed and fixed with a top cover 50. A pair of cooling pipes 51 are provided on the top cover 50. The cooling pipes 51 are made of copper alloy and are connected by multiple U-shaped pipe fittings. The lower end of the cooling pipes 51 extends into the interior of the box body 5. A pair of fixing nuts 52 are threaded to the lower end of the cooling pipes 51. The fixing nuts 52 are located on the upper and lower sides of the top cover 50. A baffle is provided at one end of the top cover 50. When the end flap 3 is in the closed state, the baffle abuts against the lower end of the outer wall of the end flap 3 to lock the rotation of the end flap 3.
[0022] In this embodiment, when feeding materials, the lower end of the end flap 3 is first positioned inside the baffle, and the L-shaped cover 11 is opened. Thus, the upper cover 50, the concave shell 1, and the end flap 3 form a rectangular cavity. Then, the operator puts the dried medicinal materials into the cavity, and then the L-shaped cover 11 is used to close the upper end of the cavity. Next, cooling water is introduced into the box 5. The cooling water then flows through the cooling pipe 51. During the flow, the cooling pipe carries away a large amount of heat, thus improving the cooling efficiency. After cooling is completed, the L-shaped cover 11 is opened first, and then the end flap 3 is pulled upwards and rotated. Then, the medicinal materials in the cavity are transferred to the corresponding container.
[0023] In some embodiments, the interior of the housing 5 is provided with horizontal partitions 53 and vertical partitions 54. The length directions of the horizontal partitions 53 and the vertical partitions 54 are perpendicular to each other, and the cooling water tank of the housing 5 is divided into four areas by the horizontal partitions 53 and the vertical partitions 54. The connecting pipes 55 are respectively connected to the cooling water tank of the housing 5. This partitioning method ensures that each cooling pipe has its own independent cooling water inflow and outflow, so as to avoid uneven heat dissipation caused by heat transfer.
[0024] In some embodiments, fulcrum pins 2 are welded to both sides of the concave shell 1, and a support plate 20 is rotatably mounted on the fulcrum pins 2. An insertion rod 21 is welded to the inner wall of the other end of the support plate 20, and the inner end of the insertion rod 21 passes through the vertical bar 30. A limiting pin 22 is tangent to the lower wall of the support plate 20 and is welded to the side wall of the concave shell 1. In this embodiment, when the operator rotates the end flap 3 to a certain angle, the support plate 20 is rotated, and the insertion rod 21 is inserted into the vertical bar 30, thereby supporting the end flap 3 and facilitating the discharge of medicinal materials.
[0025] In some embodiments, a pair of guide rails 4 are welded to both sides of the interior of the concave shell 1. A concave sleeve 40 is fitted onto the guide rails 4, and a push-out plate 41 is welded between the concave sleeves 40. The push-out plate 41 is vertically arranged inside the concave shell 1, and an clearance hole 42 is opened at the lower end of the push-out plate 41, through which a cooling pipe 51 passes. In this embodiment, during operation, the push-out plate is moved, and during the movement, the push-out plate pushes the medicinal material out of the cavity.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of this utility model fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
