[0019] 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.

[0020] See Figure 1-5 A traditional Chinese medicine sterilization device includes a support frame 1 and a sterilization cylinder 2 mounted on the support frame 1. The upper end of the sterilization cylinder 2 is connected to a transition groove 3, and the lower end is connected to a discharge groove 4. The top of the transition groove 3 is connected to a drying cylinder 5, and the top of the drying cylinder 5 is connected to a feed hopper 6. The upper parts of the transition groove 3 and the discharge groove 4 are respectively provided with opening and closing components 7 that can seal the lower end of the drying cylinder 5 and the sterilization cylinder 2. A hot air blower 8 is provided on the outside of the drying cylinder 5 and connected to its interior. A first stirring mechanism 9 is provided inside the drying cylinder 5, and a second stirring mechanism 10 is provided inside the sterilization cylinder 2. An ultraviolet sterilization lamp 11 is provided on the second stirring mechanism 10. The sterilization cylinder 2 has a cavity structure inside, and multiple heating rods 12 are spaced apart inside the cavity structure.

[0021] The preferred second stirring mechanism 10 includes a second motor 1001, a rotating shaft 1002, a mounting pipe 1003, a connecting pipe 1004, and a second stirring blade 1005. The sterilization cylinder 2 has rotating shafts 1002 rotatably mounted at both ends. The mounting pipe 1003 is horizontally fixed between the two rotating shafts 1002. First through slots are respectively opened on opposite sides of the mounting pipe 1003. An ultraviolet sterilization lamp 11 is installed inside the mounting pipe 1003. The second motor 1001 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sterilization cylinder 2, and its output shaft is connected to one of the rotating shafts 1002. Connecting pipes 1004 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the mounting pipe 1003. The ends of the connecting pipes 1004 on both sides are respectively fixed with second stirring blades 1005. The two second stirring blades 1005 are arc-shaped and their sides are in contact with the inner wall of the sterilization cylinder 2. When in use, the second motor 1001 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 1002 to rotate, thereby driving the installation pipe 1003 to rotate. The connecting pipes 1004 connected to the installation pipe 1003 and the two second stirring blades 1005 can evenly stir the Chinese medicinal materials, so that the ultraviolet rays irradiated by the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 11 set in the installation pipe 1003 shine out from the two first through slots and evenly irradiate the Chinese medicinal materials, thereby sterilizing them.

[0022] The preferred connecting pipe 1004 has a second through groove on each of its opposite sides. The connecting pipe 1004 is also equipped with an ultraviolet sterilization lamp 11. By setting ultraviolet sterilization lamps 11 in multiple connecting pipes 1004, the sterilization process can be further accelerated, thereby improving the sterilization efficiency of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0023] A transparent protective cover is fixedly connected to the outer side of the preferred first and second through slots. By setting the transparent protective cover, the powder of Chinese medicinal materials can be prevented from adhering to the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 11 during the sterilization process, thereby improving the service life of the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 11.

[0024] The preferred first stirring mechanism 9 includes a first motor 901, a stirring shaft 902, a connecting rod 903, and a first stirring blade 904. The stirring shaft 902 is rotatably connected between the two side walls of the drying cylinder 5. The first motor 901 is fixed on the outside of the drying cylinder 5 and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 902. Connecting rods 903 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the stirring shaft 902, and first stirring blades 904 are fixedly connected to the ends of the connecting rods 903 on both sides. The two first stirring blades 904 are arc-shaped structures and their sides are in contact with the inner wall of the drying cylinder 5. In use, the first motor 901 is started to drive the stirring shaft 902 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rods 903 and the first stirring blades 904 to rotate. This allows the Chinese medicinal materials to be evenly stirred when they are put into the drying cylinder 5 from the feed hopper 6, thereby accelerating the drying efficiency of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0025] The preferred stirring shaft 902 and connecting rod 903 are hollow structures and are connected to each other. Multiple heat exhaust holes 905 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the stirring shaft 902 and connecting rod 903. Hot air discharged from the hot air blower 8 can be discharged through the multiple heat exhaust holes 905. Stirring and drying are carried out simultaneously during the stirring process, which further improves the drying efficiency of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0026] The preferred opening and closing assembly 7 includes an electric telescopic rod 701 and an arc-shaped sealing plate 702. Arc-shaped sealing plates 702 are hinged to the lower sides of the drying cylinder 5 and the sterilization cylinder 2, respectively. The radius of the arc-shaped sealing plate 702 is the same as that of the drying cylinder 5 or the sterilization cylinder 2. The electric telescopic rod 701 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the transition groove 3 and the discharge groove 4 on the lower side of the arc-shaped sealing plate 702, respectively. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 701 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the arc-shaped sealing plate 702. In use, the two electric telescopic rods 701 are activated to drive the two arc-shaped sealing plates 702 to open or close, thereby achieving the sealing or closing of the drying cylinder 5 or the sterilization cylinder 2.

[0027] A support plate 13 is horizontally provided on the support frame 1 on the lower side of the preferred discharge trough 4. A collection trough 14 is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 13. A pull ring is fixed on one side of the collection trough 14. After the Chinese medicinal materials are sterilized, they can be collected through the collection trough 14.

[0028] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Before sterilizing the Chinese medicinal materials, the materials are first fed into the drying cylinder 5 through the feeding hopper 6, and simultaneously the first motor 901 and the hot air blower 8 are started. The hot air blown out by the hot air blower 8 is discharged through multiple exhaust holes 905 on the stirring shaft 902 and multiple connecting rods 903. At the same time, the first motor 901 drives the stirring shaft 902 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rods 903 and the first stirring blade 904 to rotate, thus achieving the purpose of simultaneous stirring and heating for drying, thereby achieving the sterilization of the Chinese medicinal materials. Before sterilization, the herbs are dried to ensure the proper functioning of subsequent sterilization. After the herbs have dried, the two electric telescopic rods 701 on the lower side of the drying cylinder 5 are activated. The two electric telescopic rods 701 pull the connected arc-shaped sealing plates 702, causing the two arc-shaped sealing plates 702 to open simultaneously, allowing the herbs to fall downwards into the sterilization cylinder 2. After the herbs in the drying cylinder 5 have been cleaned, the two electric telescopic rods 701 are used to push the two arc-shaped sealing plates 702 to close the drying cylinder 2. At this point, the herbs can continue to be fed from the feed hopper 6. Chinese medicinal herbs are placed into the drying cylinder 5 for drying. Simultaneously, the second motor 1001, ultraviolet sterilization lamp 11, and heating rods 12 are activated. The second motor 1001 drives the rotating shaft 1002 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting tube 1003 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting tube 1004 and the two second stirring blades 1005 to rotate, thus achieving uniform stirring of the Chinese medicinal herbs. Multiple heating rods 12 provide high-temperature heating to the sterilization cylinder 2, which, combined with the heating from the mounting tube 1003 and multiple connecting tubes 1004... The ultraviolet sterilization lamp 11 enables uniform high-temperature sterilization and ultraviolet irradiation sterilization while stirring evenly, ensuring both the quality and efficiency of sterilization of Chinese medicinal materials. This equipment can sterilize various pathogens attached to Chinese medicinal materials. After the sterilization of Chinese medicinal materials is completed, the two electric telescopic rods 701 on the lower side of the sterilization cylinder 2 are activated to pull the two arc-shaped sealing plates 702 open, thereby allowing the sterilized Chinese medicinal materials to be discharged from the discharge trough 4 and then collected through the collection trough 14.
