Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing technology, specifically a device for integrating sand-frying and sieving of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, sand scalding is a commonly used and important processing method. Sand scalding uses river sand as a heat transfer medium to heat the Chinese medicinal herbs in the sand. Through the heat transfer effect of the high-temperature sand, the Chinese medicinal herbs become brittle, easy to crush, and have their active ingredients extracted, while also reducing toxicity and correcting unpleasant odors.

[0003] Traditional sand-frying process usually relies on manual operation. Workers place river sand in a heating container and use stoves and other equipment to heat the sand. Once the sand reaches a suitable temperature, the Chinese medicinal herbs are added and stir-fried. However, manual stir-frying is labor-intensive, and working in a high-temperature environment for a long time poses a threat to the health of workers.

[0004] Furthermore, after the sand is scalded, the river sand and Chinese medicinal herbs need to be manually poured into a sieve for separation. After the separation is completed, the river sand needs to be poured into a heating container for subsequent use. The entire sieving process is labor-intensive and has low operating efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated device for scalding and sieving Chinese herbal medicine slices, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution.

[0007] An integrated device for scalding and sieving Chinese medicinal herbs includes a stir-frying drum and a sieving drum. A first geared motor is mounted on the outer surface of the stir-frying drum. The end of the output shaft of the first geared motor extends into the stir-frying drum and is fitted with a heating drum. Multiple baffles are arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the heating drum, and a heating coil is installed inside the wall of the heating drum. A sieve frame is provided on one side of the opening of the sieving drum, and sieve holes are evenly distributed inside the sieve frame. Two parallel side plates are symmetrically mounted on the outer surface of the stir-frying drum. The side plates have a translation mechanism inside that can move the sieving drum closer to or away from the stir-frying drum. A flipping mechanism is provided on the outer side of the two side plates, which can flip the two side plates.

[0008] Therefore, by heating the heating cylinder with a heating coil, the river sand and Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside can be heated. In conjunction with the first geared motor driving the heating cylinder to rotate, the purpose of automatically stir-frying the Chinese herbal medicine pieces can be achieved. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the translation mechanism and the flipping mechanism, the purpose of rapid screening can be achieved, and it is convenient to pour the river sand from the screening cylinder back into the heating cylinder for continued use.

[0009] Furthermore, the translation mechanism includes a mounting groove formed on the surface of the side plate, a slider is mounted on the outer surface of the screening cylinder and is slidably mounted in the mounting groove, a hydraulic cylinder is mounted inside the mounting groove, and the end of the extension and retraction end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the slider.

[0010] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism includes two base plates, each with a support plate mounted on its upper surface. A connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the opposite face of each support plate, and the ends of the two connecting shafts are respectively connected to two side plates. A second geared motor is mounted on the outer surface of one of the support plates, and the end of the output shaft of the second geared motor is connected to the connecting shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple electric push rods are installed on the outer surface of the screening cylinder, and grooves are opened on the inner wall of the screening cylinder. The ends of the electric push rods extend into the grooves and are equipped with striking blocks.

[0012] Furthermore, handles are installed on both sides of the outer surface of the screen frame, and anti-slip pads are provided on the outer surface of the handles.

[0013] Furthermore, an annular guide groove is provided on the outer surface of the heating cylinder, and multiple ball bearings are arranged along the trajectory of the annular guide groove on the inner wall of the stirring cylinder. The ball bearings are arranged inside the annular guide groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the striking block has an arc-shaped structure, and the arc of the striking block is consistent with the arc of the sieve frame.

[0015] Furthermore, bolt holes are provided at all four corners of the base plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows.

[0017] 1. This utility model heats the heating cylinder by heating the heating coil, which can heat the river sand and Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside. In conjunction with the first reduction motor driving the heating cylinder to rotate, the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are automatically stir-fried. This not only reduces the labor intensity of workers, but also makes the stir-frying more uniform and improves the processing effect of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces.

[0018] 2. This utility model uses a translation mechanism to close the sieving cylinder and the stir-frying cylinder. Then, a flipping mechanism drives the side plate to flip, causing the stir-frying cylinder to flip to the top and the sieving cylinder to flip to the bottom. At this time, the river sand in the heating cylinder falls into the sieving cylinder under the action of gravity. The river sand passes through the sieve holes and falls to the bottom, while the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are collected inside the sieve frame, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic sieving. After the sieve frame is removed, the river sand can be poured back into the heating cylinder for reuse through the cooperation of the translation mechanism and the flipping mechanism. This not only improves the overall operating efficiency but also further reduces the labor intensity of workers. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this utility model.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an integrated device for scalding and sieving traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, including a stir-frying cylinder 100 and a sieving cylinder 200. A first reduction motor 101 is installed on the outer surface of the stir-frying cylinder 100. The end of the output shaft of the first reduction motor 101 extends into the stir-frying cylinder 100 and is fitted with a heating cylinder 102. Multiple baffles 103 are arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the heating cylinder 102, and a heating coil 104 is installed inside the wall of the heating cylinder 102. A sieve frame 201 is provided on one side of the opening of the sieving cylinder 200, and sieve holes 202 are evenly opened inside the sieve frame 201. Two parallel side plates 105 are symmetrically installed on the outer surface of the stir-frying cylinder 100. A translation mechanism 300 is provided inside the side plates 105 to move the sieving cylinder 200 closer to or away from the stir-frying cylinder 100. A flipping mechanism 400 is provided on the outer side of the two side plates 105, which can flip the two side plates 105.

[0025] When using it, first pour the river sand into the heating cylinder 102, and use the heating coil 104 to heat the heating cylinder 102 to heat the river sand. After heating to a suitable temperature, pour the Chinese medicine slices into the heating cylinder 102, start the first reduction motor 101 to drive the heating cylinder 102 to rotate. Since the river sand is blocked by the baffle 103, the purpose of stir-frying is achieved.

[0026] After the stir-frying is finished, turn off the first reduction motor 101, place the sieve frame 201 inside the sieve cylinder 200, and drive the sieve cylinder 200 to close with the stir-frying cylinder 100 through the translation mechanism 300. Then, drive the two side plates 105 to rotate through the flipping mechanism 400, so that the stir-frying cylinder 100 rotates to the top and the sieve cylinder 200 rotates to the bottom. At this time, the river sand and Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the heating cylinder 102 fall into the sieve frame 201. The sand passes through the sieve hole 202 and falls to the bottom, while the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are collected inside the sieve frame 201, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic sieving. Then, drive the sieve cylinder 200 to separate from the stir-frying cylinder 100 through the translation mechanism 300, and the sieve frame 201 can be taken out.

[0027] Finally, through the cooperation of the translation mechanism 300 and the flipping mechanism 400, the river sand is poured back from the screening cylinder 200 into the heating cylinder 102 for continued use, which not only improves the overall operating efficiency, but also further reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0028] It is worth noting that installing the through-hole slip ring on the output shaft of the first reduction motor 101, with its output end connected to the heating coil 104 and its input end connected to the external power line, can achieve the purpose of supplying power to the heating coil 104 during the rotation of the heating cylinder 102, which is a common existing technology.

[0029] Preferably, the translation mechanism 300 includes a mounting groove 301 formed on the surface of the side plate 105, a slider 302 is mounted on the outer surface of the screening cylinder 200, and the slider 302 is slidably mounted in the mounting groove 301. A hydraulic cylinder 303 is installed inside the mounting groove 301, and the end of the extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 303 is connected to the slider 302.

[0030] When the hydraulic cylinder 303 is activated, its telescopic end drives the slider 302 to slide inside the mounting groove 301, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the screening cylinder 200 closer to or further away from the stir-frying cylinder 100.

[0031] The two hydraulic cylinders 303 are connected in parallel to form a synchronous circuit using a flow divider and combiner valve, which enables them to move synchronously. This is a common existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0032] Preferably, the flipping mechanism 400 includes two base plates 401, each base plate 401 has a support plate 402 mounted on its upper surface, and a connecting shaft 403 is rotatably mounted on the opposite surfaces of the two support plates 402. The ends of the two connecting shafts 403 are respectively connected to two side plates 105. A second reduction motor 404 is mounted on the outer surface of one of the support plates 402, and the end of the output shaft of the second reduction motor 404 is connected to the connecting shaft 403.

[0033] The base plate 401 and the support plate 402 provide stable support and sufficient height so that the screening cylinder 200 will not collide with the ground when it is flipped to the bottom. By starting the second reduction motor 404, the connecting shaft 403 connected to it can be rotated, thereby achieving the purpose of flipping the side plate 105.

[0034] The first geared motor 101 and the second geared motor 404 are common existing technologies, which can output large torque at low speeds, thereby driving the heating cylinder 102 and the side plate 105 to rotate.

[0035] Preferably, a plurality of electric push rods 500 are installed on the outer surface of the screening cylinder 200, and a groove 501 is provided on the inner wall of the screening cylinder 200. The end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 500 passes through the groove 501 and is equipped with a striking block 502.

[0036] When river sand is poured into the screen frame 201 for screening, the electric push rod 500 can be activated to drive the striking block 502 to intermittently strike the surface of the screen frame 201. The vibration generated by the striking causes the river sand to pass quickly through the screen holes 202, thus avoiding blockage and improving screening efficiency.

[0037] Preferably, handles 600 are installed on both sides of the outer surface of the screen frame 201, and the outer surface of the handles 600 is provided with anti-slip pads.

[0038] The handle 600 makes it easy to remove the screen frame 201 from the screening cylinder 200, and the anti-slip pad increases the friction with the hand, reducing the chance of the screen frame slipping and falling during handling.

[0039] Preferably, the outer surface of the heating cylinder 102 is provided with an annular guide groove 700, and the inner wall of the stir-frying cylinder 100 is provided with a plurality of balls 701 along the trajectory of the annular guide groove 700. The balls 701 are disposed in the annular guide groove 700.

[0040] The annular guide groove 700 and the ball bearing 701 ensure the stable rotation of the heating cylinder 102 and prevent shaking during rotation.

[0041] Preferably, the striking block 502 has an arc-shaped structure, and the arc of the striking block 502 is consistent with the arc of the sieve frame 201.

[0042] When the striking block 502 strikes the surface of the screen frame 201, the contact area is larger and the screen frame 201 is subjected to uniform force, thereby avoiding damage to the screen frame 201 caused by local impact.

[0043] Preferably, bolt holes are provided at all four corners of the base plate 401.

[0044] The base plate 401 can be firmly fixed to the ground using bolts, thereby improving the stability of the entire equipment and preventing shaking during the stir-frying process.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
