[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Astragalus processing technology, specifically to an automatic kneading device for Astragalus processing. Background Technology

[0002] Astragalus is a traditional Chinese medicine originating from China and widely used in clinical practice. Its root is the main part used medicinally. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, astragalus belongs to the category of "qi-tonifying herbs" and is known as the "leader of qi-tonifying herbs," possessing extremely high medicinal value and health benefits. Astragalus is slightly warm in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the spleen and lung meridians. It can enhance the body's vital energy and improve immunity, and has significant effects on treating symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, chronic diarrhea, rectal prolapse, spontaneous sweating, and anemia caused by qi deficiency. After being unearthed, astragalus usually needs to be rubbed and processed to change its shape and make it straight.

[0003] In the existing technology, when processing Astragalus membranaceus, a kneading board is required. The Astragalus membranaceus is bundled and then placed on the kneading board for manual rolling and kneading. However, this kneading method is highly dependent on manual labor and is labor-intensive. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an automatic kneading device for processing Astragalus membranaceus to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An automatic kneading device for processing Astragalus membranaceus includes a connecting frame 1, a vertical plate 2 fixedly connected to the right end of the connecting frame 1, two guide grooves 3 distributed vertically through the outer wall of the vertical plate 2, a movable plate 4 provided inside the two guide grooves 3, a rack 5 fixedly connected to the left end of the two movable plates 4, a rotating shaft 6 rotatably connected inside the connecting frame 1, gears 7 respectively meshing with the two racks 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 6, and a motor 8 whose output is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6 installed on the outer wall of the connecting frame 1.

[0024] A first kneading plate 9 is fixedly connected to the right end of the lower movable plate 4. A support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper movable plate 4. An L-shaped plate 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 10. A lead screw 12 is rotatably connected between the L-shaped plate 11 and the support plate 10. A lifting plate 13 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 12. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting plate 13, passing through the support plate 10 and slidingly connected thereto. A second kneading plate 15 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 14.

[0025] An auxiliary transmission mechanism is provided on the upper side of the lead screw 12.

[0026] In this embodiment: When in use, the astragalus is first bundled into a bundle, and then the bundled astragalus is placed at the middle of the upper end of the first kneading plate 9. Then, the lead screw 12 is rotated by the auxiliary transmission mechanism, which in turn drives the lifting plate 13 to move downward, and at the same time drives the connecting rod 14 and the second kneading plate 15 to move downward until the second kneading plate 15 abuts against the bundle of astragalus. Since the second kneading plate 15 can move up and down, it can be used for bundles of astragalus with different diameters.

[0027] Subsequently, the motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the gear 7 to rotate clockwise, causing the upper rack 5 to move a certain distance to the right and the lower rack 5 to move a certain distance to the left. At the same time, the upper moving plate 4, support plate 10, L-shaped plate 11, lead screw 12, lifting plate 13, connecting rod 14, and second kneading plate 15 move a certain distance to the right, and the lower moving plate 4 and first kneading plate 9 move a certain distance to the left. Then, when the motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, the first kneading plate 9 moves a certain distance to the right and the second kneading plate 15 moves a certain distance to the left, based on the same working principle. Through the reciprocating movement of the first kneading plate 9 and the second kneading plate 15, the kneading of Astragalus membranaceus can be completed. In this way, the automatic kneading of Astragalus membranaceus can be achieved, thereby effectively reducing the burden of manpower.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the auxiliary transmission mechanism includes a drive frame 16 fixedly connected to the upper end of the L-shaped plate 11, a worm gear 17 rotatably connected inside the drive frame 16, a worm wheel 18 meshing with the outer wall of the worm gear 17, and a transmission shaft passing through the upper end face of the L-shaped plate 11 fixedly connected between the worm wheel 18 and the lead screw 12.

[0029] In this embodiment: the worm gear 17 rotates, which in turn drives the worm wheel 18 to rotate. At this time, the lead screw 12 can be driven to rotate through the transmission shaft. Since the worm gear 17 and the worm wheel 18 have a self-locking characteristic, the stability of the lead screw 12 in the static state is improved, thereby stabilizing the position of the lifting plate 13, the connecting rod 14 and the second kneading plate 15.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both the upper and lower ends of the two movable plates 4 are provided with sliding grooves 20, and both the upper and lower ends of the inner walls of the two guide grooves 3 are fixedly connected with sliders 21 that are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 20.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, anti-slip textures are provided on the opposite sides of the first kneading plate 9 and the second kneading plate 15.

[0033] In this embodiment: by setting anti-slip texture, the friction between the first kneading board 9 and the second kneading board 15 and the astragalus is increased, thereby kneading more effectively.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a handwheel 19 extending to the outside of the drive frame 16 is fixedly connected to the right end of the worm gear 17.

[0035] In this embodiment, a handwheel 19 is provided to facilitate the rotation of the worm gear 17.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper end of the second kneading board 15 is fixedly connected to a slide rod that passes through the support plate 10 and is slidably connected thereto.

[0037] In this embodiment, a sliding rod is provided to improve the stability of the second kneading plate 15 during operation.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, mounting plates are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the connecting frame 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, two mounting plates are provided to facilitate the installation and fixation of the device using fasteners.

[0040] Working principle: In use, firstly, bundle the astragalus root into a bundle, then place the bundled astragalus root in the middle of the upper end of the first kneading plate 9. Then, rotate the worm gear 17 through the handwheel 19, which in turn drives the worm wheel 18 to rotate. At this time, the lead screw 12 can be driven to rotate through the transmission shaft, which in turn drives the lifting plate 13 to move downward, and at the same time drives the connecting rod 14 and the second kneading plate 15 to move downward until the second kneading plate 15 abuts against the bundle of astragalus root. Since the second kneading plate 15 can move up and down, it can be used for astragalus root bundles of different diameters. And since the worm gear 17 and the worm wheel 18 have a self-locking characteristic, the stability of the lead screw 12 in the static state is improved, thereby stabilizing the position of the lifting plate 13, the connecting rod 14 and the second kneading plate 15.

[0041] Subsequently, the motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the gear 7 to rotate clockwise, causing the upper rack 5 to move a certain distance to the right and the lower rack 5 to move a certain distance to the left. At the same time, the upper moving plate 4, support plate 10, L-shaped plate 11, lead screw 12, lifting plate 13, connecting rod 14, and second kneading plate 15 move a certain distance to the right, and the lower moving plate 4 and first kneading plate 9 move a certain distance to the left. Then, when the motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, the first kneading plate 9 moves a certain distance to the right and the second kneading plate 15 moves a certain distance to the left, based on the same working principle. Through the reciprocating movement of the first kneading plate 9 and the second kneading plate 15, the kneading of Astragalus membranaceus can be completed. In this way, the automatic kneading of Astragalus membranaceus can be achieved, thereby effectively reducing the burden of manpower.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
