Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drum-type stir-frying machines for medicinal herbs, and in particular to a drum-type stir-frying machine for medicinal herbs that is easy to feed. Background Technology

[0002] The drum-type herbal roasting machine is a new type of equipment widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and health product factories, beverage factories, hospitals, pharmacies, and food industries. It mainly consists of a roasting drum, a power system, and a heat source; some models also include a feeding device and a discharging device. The herbs are added into the drum through the inlet, and the drum cover (which often has ventilation holes) is closed. The heat source is activated to heat the drum wall, and the drum is simultaneously started, rotating clockwise to ensure even heating of the drum wall. A spiral plate rotates counter-clockwise to prevent the material from sticking to the inner wall of the drum during roasting. When the herbs have roasted to the specified degree, the cover is opened, and a button is pressed to reverse the drum's rotation, allowing the herbs to automatically discharge from the outlet.

[0003] Currently, drum-type herbal roasting machines mainly employ two feeding methods in practical applications: manual feeding and mechanical feeding. While manual feeding is flexible, it is labor-intensive, requires significant physical strength from operators, and is relatively inefficient.

[0004] While automated feeding systems can reduce the physical burden on operators and improve production efficiency, the changing angles of the drum-type herb roasting machine during operation (such as tilting and rotating) necessitate frequent adjustments to the feeding machine's discharge port position to accommodate these angle changes. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also increases operational complexity and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content
