Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese herbal medicine slice pressing machines, and in particular to a Chinese herbal medicine slice pressing machine. Background Technology
[0002] As an important component of clinical medication in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the quality and production environment requirements for processed TCM herbs are becoming increasingly stringent. While traditional pressing machines can complete the pressing process, the pressed herbs are often contaminated with medicinal powder upon discharge, and some powder is released into the surrounding environment. This dispersed powder not only affects air quality and poses a potential threat to the health of operators (e.g., long-term inhalation may lead to respiratory diseases), but also results in drug waste and increased production costs. Therefore, we have proposed a TCM processed herb pressing machine to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece pressing machine.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Reference Figure 1-3 A traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece pressing machine includes a base plate 9, a pressing machine body 12 mounted on the upper end of the base plate 9, a discharge pipe 2 connected to one side of the pressing machine body 12, two movable plates 5 slidably connected to one side of the pressing machine body 12, a suction hood 4 mounted on one side of the movable plates 5, a suction pipe 3 connected to one end of the suction hood 4, a fixed pipe 1 connected between the two suction pipes 3, a suction head 19 connected to the middle of the lower end of the fixed pipe 1, the suction head 19 penetrating the side wall of the discharge pipe 2 and extending into the discharge pipe 2, the two movable plates 5 being connected by an extension mechanism, and a vacuum cleaner 11 connected to one end of the two suction pipes 3, the vacuum cleaner 11 having an air volume of 700m³ / h. 3 / h, suction power of 270mbar, rated voltage of 380V, and a large 50L dust collection bin;
[0026] The four corners of the upper end of the base plate 9 are fixed with pads 10, and the upper ends of the four pads 10 are jointly fixed with the bearing plate 8. The lower end of the press body 12 is fixed to the upper end of the bearing plate 8. The pads 10 play the role of buffering and supporting, which can reduce the impact force on the base plate 9 when the press is working, and at the same time ensure the stability of the entire device.
[0027] A placement plate 7 is fixed to one side of the support plate 8. The expansion mechanism includes a fixing block 17 fixed to one side of the press body 12. A stud 18 is rotatably sleeved on the fixing block 17. A rotating wheel 6 is fixed to the lower end of the stud 18. A moving block 16 is threaded onto the stud 18. Two rotating rods 15 are rotatably connected to one side of the moving block 16. A fixing member is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating rod 15. One end of the fixing member is fixed to one end of a moving plate 5 on the same side. By rotating the rotating wheel 6, the stud 18 can be rotated, thereby causing the moving block 16 to move up and down on the stud 18. Then, the moving plate 5 is slid in the T-shaped slide groove 14 by rotating the rod 15, thereby adjusting the distance between the two suction hoods 4 to accommodate collection boxes of different sizes.
[0028] A T-shaped slider 13 is fixed on one side of the movable plate 5, and a T-shaped groove 14 is provided on one side of the press body 12. Two T-shaped sliders 13 are engaged in one T-shaped groove 14. The matching design of the T-shaped slider 13 and the T-shaped groove 14 not only ensures that the movable plate 5 can slide flexibly on one side of the press body 12, but also prevents the movable plate 5 from shaking or falling off during the sliding process, thus ensuring the stability of the dust collection system.
[0029] In this utility model, during processing:
[0030] 1. Pressing and Discharging of Herbal Pieces: The raw materials of Chinese medicine first enter the press body 12 for pressing. After pressing, the herbal pieces are discharged through the discharge pipe 2. The discharge pipe 2 is connected to one side of the press body 12 to provide a discharge channel for the herbal pieces. The inner diameter and length of the discharge pipe 2 are carefully designed to ensure that the herbal pieces can be discharged smoothly and to avoid blockage during the discharge process.
[0031] 2. First vacuuming: The fixed pipe 1 is located above the discharge pipe 2. The suction head 19 connected to the middle of its lower end passes through the side wall of the discharge pipe 2 and extends into the discharge pipe 2. When the medicinal slices are discharged in the discharge pipe 2, the vacuum cleaner 11 is started. The vacuum cleaner 11 generates suction, which is transmitted to the fixed pipe 1 and the suction head 19 through the suction pipe 3. The first vacuuming is performed on the medicinal powder that is contaminated and discharged from the medicinal slices discharged in the discharge pipe 2. The position and shape design of the suction head 19 can cover the space inside the discharge pipe 2 to the greatest extent to ensure that the medicinal powder can be effectively removed.
[0032] 3. Second vacuuming: Two movable plates 5 are slidably connected to one side of the press body 12. A suction hood 4 is installed on one side of the movable plate 5. Two suction pipes 3 are connected to the suction hood 4 and the fixed pipe 1, and are connected to the vacuum cleaner 11. After the first vacuuming, some powder may still be scattered below the discharge pipe 2. At this time, the suction hoods 4 on both sides, under the suction of the vacuum cleaner 11, perform a second vacuuming on the powder generated below the discharge pipe 2 to further collect the scattered powder. The spacing between the two suction hoods 4 can be adjusted according to the size of the collection box to further improve the vacuuming effect.
[0033] 4. Adjustment of suction hood spacing: To accommodate collection boxes of different sizes, rotating the wheel 6 drives the stud 18 to rotate. The moving block 16, threaded onto the stud 18, moves up and down on the stud 18. Two rotating rods 15 are rotatably connected to one side of the moving block 16, and a fixing part is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating rod 15. One end of the fixing part is fixed to one end of a moving plate 5 on the same side. When the moving block 16 moves up and down, the rotating rods 15 drive the moving plate 5 to slide in the T-shaped slide groove 14 on one side of the press body 12, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two suction hoods 4. The movement of the moving block 16 is transmitted to the moving plate 5 through the rotating rods 15, causing the moving plate 5 to slide in the T-shaped slide groove 14, thus adjusting the spacing between the two suction hoods 4. The adjustment method is simple and convenient, and can quickly adapt to different working needs.
[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
