Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microwave equipment technology, specifically to a microwave sterilization and drying equipment for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Medicinal slices refer to Chinese medicinal materials that have been processed into specific shapes for easy use in clinical practice. After processing at the place of origin, medicinal materials are cut into thin slices, thick slices, oblique slices, shreds, segments, blocks, or other specific sizes according to their properties and medical needs. This facilitates the extraction of active ingredients and makes them easier to process, store, and dispense. Such medicinal materials are called "medicinal slices." Medicinal slices are Chinese medicinal materials that have been processed according to traditional Chinese medicine theory and methods, and can be directly used in clinical practice. Medicinal slices represent the essence of traditional Chinese medicine; the medicinal properties and efficacy of a single herb can vary depending on the processing method.

[0003] For example, a microwave sterilization and drying device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, disclosed in CN213490769U, includes a main body. From left to right, a door and a function panel are installed on the front end of the main body. A chamber is located inside the main body corresponding to the door. Elastic foot pads are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the main body. Rotating shafts are fixedly installed on both sides of the chamber, with two rotating shafts penetrating both sides of the chamber. A drying cylinder is detachably connected to the bearings of the two rotating shafts. A dust box is installed at the bottom of the chamber, ensuring uniform heating, rapid drying, thorough sterilization, and easy dust removal. The heat and medicinal odor within the chamber are expelled through aeration holes, preventing workers from being choked by the heat and odor when handling the slices, thus protecting their safety.

[0004] The aforementioned patent proposes that dust, small insects, or other impurities inside the drying drum fall through the metal mesh into the dust box for collection. However, in actual use, the metal mesh is usually not directly heated by microwaves. But metal is a good electrical conductor. When microwaves come into contact with the surface of the metal mesh, an induced current will be generated on the metal surface, which will have an adverse effect on the microwaves. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microwave sterilization and drying device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when microwaves come into contact with the surface of a metal mesh, an induced current will be generated on the metal surface.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a microwave sterilization and drying device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, comprising a microwave box structure, wherein a rotating component is movably installed inside the microwave box structure, and a picking component is installed at the bottom of the inside of the rotating component;

[0007] The picking component includes a top plate and positioning arc plates installed at both ends of the top plate. A slot is opened through the middle of the top of the top plate, and a fiberglass mesh is installed between the positioning arc plates and below the top plate.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating component includes a mounting plate and rotating discs mounted at both ends of the mounting plate. A connecting shaft is mounted at the middle of one side of the rotating disc. A groove is provided at the top of the mounting plate. An upper top plate is mounted inside the groove. Top slots are provided on both sides of the top of the upper top plate. Bottom slots are provided on both sides of the bottom of the rotating disc.

[0009] Preferably, the top plate has locking strips installed on both sides of its top end, and the lower end of the locking strips has a through groove.

[0010] Preferably, an L-shaped insert is slidably installed inside the groove, and an alignment groove is provided through the lower end of the L-shaped insert. An inner insert is installed on the inner wall of the alignment groove and on the outer surface of the L-shaped insert.

[0011] Preferably, a metal frame is mounted on the outer surface of the microwave box structure, and a servo motor is installed inside the metal frame.

[0012] Preferably, a controller is mounted on the outer surface of the metal frame for controlling the servo motor.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model discloses a microwave sterilization and drying device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. The hand-held pick-up component is placed at the bottom of the mounting plate. The pick-up component is pushed up, and the locking strip is inserted into the bottom locking groove, alignment groove, and top locking groove. The L-shaped insert is used to fix the position of the pick-up component and the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 A microwave sterilization and drying device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces includes a microwave chamber structure 1. A rotating component 4 is movably installed inside the microwave chamber structure 1, and a picking component 5 is installed at the bottom of the rotating component 4. The working principle of the microwave chamber structure 1 is based on microwave heating technology, and its core component is a magnetron. A magnetron is a special electron tube that can convert electrical energy supplied by a power source into high-frequency microwave signals (2.45 GHz). These microwave signals are a type of electromagnetic wave, and their frequency is sufficient to excite the charge movement in polar molecules such as water molecules, fat molecules, and sugar molecules. This movement generates friction, which in turn generates heat, thereby heating and drying the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.

[0023] The take-up component 5 includes a top plate 52 and positioning arc plates 51 installed at both ends of the top plate 52. A slot 53 is provided through the middle of the top of the top plate 52. A fiberglass mesh 56 is installed between the positioning arc plates 51 and below the top plate 52.

[0024] The rotating component 4 includes a mounting plate 41 and rotating plates 42 mounted at both ends of the mounting plate 41. A connecting shaft 48 is mounted at the middle of one side of the rotating plate 42. A sliding groove 43 is provided at the top of the mounting plate 41. An upper top plate 44 is installed at the upper end of the sliding groove 43. Top slots 45 are provided on both sides of the top of the upper top plate 44. Bottom slots 46 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the rotating plate 42. The top slots 45 and bottom slots 46 are aligned.

[0025] The top plate 52 has a locking strip 54 installed on both sides of the top. The lower end of the locking strip 54 has a through groove 55. The width of the locking strip 54 is the same as the width of the top locking groove 45 and the bottom locking groove 46.

[0026] An L-shaped insert 47 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 43. An alignment groove 471 is opened through the lower end of the L-shaped insert 47. An inner insert 472 is installed on the inner wall of the alignment groove 471 and on the outer surface of the L-shaped insert 47. The length of the alignment groove 471 is greater than the length of the top slot 45 and the bottom slot 46. The width of the alignment groove 471 is the same as the width of the side through groove 55.

[0027] In this embodiment: the Chinese herbal medicine slices are poured from the slot 53 into the space enclosed by the fiberglass mesh 56. The positioning arc plates 51 at both ends of the fiberglass mesh 56 restrict the Chinese herbal medicine slices. After opening the microwave box structure 1, the hand-held pick-up component 5 is placed at the bottom of the mounting plate 41. The pick-up component 5 is pushed up, and the locking strip 54 is inserted into the bottom locking groove 46, the alignment groove 471 and the top locking groove 45. The side passage groove 55 is inside the sliding groove 43. After holding the pick-up component 5, the L-shaped insert 47 is pushed to one side of the rotating component 4. The inner insert 472 installed inside the alignment groove 471 is inserted into the side passage groove 55 to fix the position of the locking strip 54, thereby restricting the position of the fiberglass mesh 56 and the Chinese herbal medicine slices. When the microwave box structure 1 is operating, the generated microwaves dry the Chinese herbal medicine slices. Since the fiberglass mesh 56 itself is an insulating material, it will not be affected within the microwave frequency range, thus improving the safety of drying the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0028] Example 2: This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2-4The outer surface of the microwave box structure 1 is fitted with a metal frame 3, and a servo motor 2 is installed inside the metal frame 3. The output end of the servo motor 2 is connected to a set of connecting shafts 48. The servo motor 2 is model HC-KFS13. The servo motor 2 mainly relies on pulses for positioning. When the servo motor 2 receives one pulse, it will rotate by the angle corresponding to one pulse, thereby achieving displacement. Because the servo motor 2 itself has the function of emitting pulses, it will emit a corresponding number of pulses for each rotation angle, forming a response or closed loop with the pulses received by the servo motor 2. In this way, the system knows how many pulses were sent to the servo motor 2 and how many pulses were received, and can control the rotation of the motor very precisely, thereby achieving accurate positioning.

[0029] A controller 6 is mounted on the outer surface of the metal frame 3 to control the servo motor 2. The controller 6 is a SINAMICS S120, which typically consists of three parts: an input section that receives instructions from external systems, such as motion controllers, PLCs, and computers; a processing section that compares the input target value (position, speed, etc.) with the actual feedback value, calculates the error, and generates a control signal through an algorithm (such as PID control); and an output section that outputs the control signal to the servo driver to adjust the motion state of the servo motor.

[0030] In this embodiment: before the microwave box structure 1 dries the Chinese herbal medicine slices, the PLC outputs a digital control signal, and the controller 6 receives the input signal and makes corresponding adjustments. According to the input signal, the controller 6 adjusts the current and voltage output of the servo motor 2, controlling the rotation range of the rotating component 4 to be in a semi-circular state, so that the Chinese herbal medicine slices inside the picking component 5 are rotated, which facilitates the microwave box structure 1 to dry the rotated Chinese herbal medicine slices, reduces the drying time, and prevents the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the inside from not being exposed to high temperature, thereby affecting the drying effect of the device on the Chinese herbal medicine slices. The metal frame 3 is set to protect the servo motor 2 and prevent the microwave from affecting the normal operation of the servo motor 2.

[0031] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
