Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, and in particular to a device for processing and moistening Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processed pieces are TCM herbs that have undergone processing according to TCM theory and methods, and can be directly used in TCM clinical practice. This concept indicates that there is no absolute boundary between raw TCM herbs and processed TCM pieces. Processed TCM pieces include some sliced ​​TCM herbs processed at their place of origin, whole raw medicinal herbs, and processed pieces that have undergone cutting or processing. The first two categories should be considered TCM herbs in terms of management, but are understood as processed pieces in prescriptions and formulations based on TCM theory.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN220676400U discloses a device for moistening medicinal herbs in the processing of prepared slices of traditional Chinese medicine. The device includes a base, with a housing and a water tank arranged sequentially from left to right on the upper surface of the base. Multiple sets of slide rails are arranged on the inner side wall of the housing, with a support plate between each set of slide rails. A actuating component is located within the support plate. A spraying component is located above the support plate inside the housing. A water collection box is located at the bottom of the housing. Four casters are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the base. This invention uses a drive motor to drive a driving pulley to rotate, which in turn drives a driven pulley to rotate. The driven pulley drives a rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives a actuating plate to rotate. This allows the actuating plate to move the medicinal herbs, resulting in more even moistening and effectively protecting the original medicinal properties of the herbs. It also improves the overall moistening effect. A water pump circulates the water inside the tank, and the water is sprayed evenly through the nozzles, reducing water waste and lowering operating costs.

[0004] Existing herbal medicine processing and moistening devices improve the uniformity of moistening by using a tweezer. However, when the tweezer moves too much, the herbs fall off the tweezer and into the water collection box in the box. When the tweezer moves too little, the moistening effect is not uniform, which reduces the functionality and practicality of the herbal medicine processing and moistening device.
