Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine production technology, and in particular to a sample preservation device for traditional Chinese medicine production. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs are used to treat diseases. The authenticity and quality of these herbs directly affect clinical efficacy, experimental results, and patient safety. To ensure the quality of TCM herbs, sampling and testing are conducted during the production process. This sampling and testing process requires the storage and processing of large quantities of TCM herbs to be sampled and tested.

[0003] Existing sample preservation devices for traditional Chinese medicine production mainly consist of a storage box, an adjustable-height placement plate installed on the storage box, a ventilation and drying mechanism installed inside the storage box, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a heating component, and a display screen installed outside the storage box. This type of storage box directly stores the medicinal materials using the placement plate, while simultaneously using the temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the storage box for timely adjustments. This ensures the stable storage of medicinal material samples for testing during the traditional Chinese medicine production process. For example, the sample preservation device for testing medicinal materials described in patent document CN202123227223.6 uses this type of preservation device.

[0004] While existing sample preservation devices for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) production can store TCM samples, they suffer from several drawbacks. Firstly, adjusting the height of the placement plates involves four rounds of tightening bolts, resulting in a cumbersome and inefficient adjustment process that hinders rapid sample storage. Secondly, ventilation and heat dissipation for the placed samples rely primarily on vertical air exchange. Since the placement plates are solid, airflow between the samples is impeded, further reducing ventilation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this application is to provide a sample preservation device for traditional Chinese medicine production that can both quickly limit the placement plate after height adjustment and achieve rapid heat dissipation of Chinese medicinal material samples on each layer of the placement plate through lateral swing blowing.

[0006] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: A sample preservation device for traditional Chinese medicine production includes a storage box. A sliding column is installed at each of the four corners of the storage box, and a placement plate is installed between the four sliding columns. Limiting holes are formed on the sidewalls of the sliding columns facing the placement plate. A limiting component is installed at the bottom of the placement plate, the limiting component including a sliding hole, a limiting post, a return spring, a lever, and a lever groove. A ventilation box is installed in the middle of one side wall of the storage box, and a blower mechanism is installed on one side of the ventilation box. The blower mechanism includes a blower, a blowing chamber, and an air outlet. A ventilation window with a built-in dustproof screen is installed in the middle of the sidewall of the storage box opposite to the ventilation box. A swing mechanism is also installed on the ventilation box on the side of the blower mechanism, the swing mechanism including a support plate, a chain, a transmission gear, a motor, a half gear, a sprocket, a rotating shaft, a guide plate, and a spiral spring.

[0007] Optionally, a temperature sensor is installed inside the storage box above the ventilation window, a humidity sensor is installed inside the storage box above the air exchange box, and a display screen for displaying the temperature and humidity values ​​inside the storage box is installed outside the storage box above the ventilation window.

[0008] Optionally, the storage box is equipped with an electric heating plate with a built-in heating wire on the back, and the opening of the storage box is connected to a door via a hinge.

[0009] Optionally, a caster wheel is bolted to each of the four corners at the bottom of the storage box, and the caster wheel is equipped with a wheel lock.

[0010] Optionally, the sliding post passes through the placement plate and slides with the placement plate, and the size of the limiting hole matches the size of the limiting post.

[0011] Optionally, the slot is formed in the middle of the bottom end of the placement plate, and two limiting posts are symmetrically welded on the opposite side walls of the two plates. The reset spring is installed between the slot and the plates, and the limiting posts pass through the reset spring.

[0012] Optionally, the blower is bolted to one side wall of the air exchange box, the air blowing chamber is formed in the interlayer of the side wall of the air exchange box, and the air outlet is formed on the side wall of the air blowing chamber facing the air guide plate.

[0013] Optionally, the support plate is welded to the outside of the storage box and located on the ventilation box. The motor is installed on one side of the top of the support plate. The half gear is connected to the power output end of the motor. The transmission gear meshes with one side of the half gear. A row of rotating shafts is installed on the ventilation box below the transmission gear. The transmission gear is welded to one of the rotating shafts.

[0014] Optionally, each of the rotating shafts is equipped with a guide vane, and a sprocket is welded to the upper side of the guide vane on the rotating shaft. The chain is connected to the outer side of the sprocket, and a spiral spring is installed between the bottom end of the rotating shaft and the air exchange box.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This utility model installs a sliding column at the four corners of each layer of the placement plate, and sets a limiting hole on the sliding column. A limiting component is installed on each placement plate. After the height of the placement plate is adjusted, the lever is released and reset by the action of the return spring, so that the limiting column can be quickly inserted into the corresponding limiting hole. This ensures that the placement plate is quickly limited after the height is adjusted, which is convenient for the rapid storage of Chinese herbal medicine samples on the placement plate. This invention installs an air exchange box on one side wall of the storage box, and installs a blower mechanism and a swing mechanism on the air exchange box. At the same time, a ventilation window with a built-in dustproof net is installed on the side wall of the storage box opposite to the air exchange box. This allows the Chinese medicinal materials to dissipate heat quickly through lateral swing blowing during the storage process, making the air circulation in the storage box smoother and thus improving the ventilation and heat dissipation efficiency of the Chinese medicinal materials in the storage box.

[0018] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] To better understand the technical solutions presented in the embodiments of this application, the structure and working principle of existing sample preservation devices for traditional Chinese medicine production will first be introduced.

[0020] Existing sample preservation devices for traditional Chinese medicine production mainly consist of a storage box, an adjustable-height placement plate installed on the storage box, a ventilation and drying mechanism installed inside the storage box, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a heating component, and a display screen installed outside the storage box. This type of storage box directly stores the medicinal materials using the placement plate, while simultaneously using the temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the storage box for timely adjustments. This ensures the stable storage of medicinal material samples for testing during the traditional Chinese medicine production process. For example, the sample preservation device for testing medicinal materials described in patent document CN202123227223.6 uses this type of preservation device.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4This application discloses a sample preservation device for traditional Chinese medicine production, comprising a storage box 2. A sliding column 5 is installed at each of the four corners of the storage box 2, and a placement plate 6 is installed between the four sliding columns 5. Limiting holes 7 are formed on the sidewalls of the sliding columns 5 facing the placement plate 6. A limiting assembly 15 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 6, including a sliding hole 151, a limiting post 152, a return spring 153, a lever 154, and a lever groove 155. A ventilation box 9 is installed in the middle of one side wall of the storage box 2. A blower mechanism 12 is installed on one side. The blower mechanism 12 includes a blower 121, an air chamber 122, and an air outlet 123. A ventilation window 3 with a dustproof net is installed in the middle of the side wall of the storage box 2 opposite to the air exchange box 9. A swing mechanism 13 is also installed on the air exchange box 9 on one side of the blower mechanism 12. The swing mechanism 13 includes a support plate 131, a chain 132, a transmission gear 133, a motor 134, a half gear 135, a sprocket 136, a rotating shaft 137, an air guide plate 138, and a spiral spring 139.

[0022] Specifically, when adjusting the height of the placement plate 6 on the slide column 5, the lever 154 is first moved towards the center of the lever groove 155 so that the limiting post 152 retracts into the sliding hole 151. Then, the placement plate 6 is raised to the designated position on the slide column 5. After the height of the placement plate 6 on the slide column 5 is adjusted, the lever 154 is released, and the lever 154 will spring back to its original position under the action of the return spring 153. At the same time as the lever 154 resets, it will quickly insert the limiting post 152 into the corresponding limiting hole 7, thereby ensuring that the placement plate 6 is quickly limited after the height adjustment. When the temperature inside the storage box 2 is too high, the blower 121 blows air into the air chamber 122. After the air enters the air chamber 122, it will be blown out through the air outlet 123. Then, the motor 134 is started. After the motor 134 starts, it will cause the half gear to... When the half gear 135 rotates, the transmission gear 133 will rotate intermittently. After the transmission gear 133 rotates, it will cause the sprockets 136 to rotate synchronously with the help of the chain 132, thereby realizing the rotation of each shaft 137 and the air guide plate 138. After the air guide plate 138 rotates, the blown air will be blown evenly to the Chinese herbal medicine samples on each layer of the placement plate 6, so that the air can pass quickly through the gaps between the Chinese herbal medicine samples, thereby achieving the cooling of the Chinese herbal medicine samples. When the half gear 135 does not contact the transmission gear 133 during one rotation, the shaft 137 will rotate back to its original position under the action of the spiral spring 139, thereby realizing the reset of the air guide plate 138. This ensures that the air guide plate 138 will swing intermittently during one rotation of the transmission gear 133, so as to achieve the even blowing of air to the Chinese herbal medicine samples on the placement plate 6.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-2A temperature sensor 10 is installed inside the storage box 2 above the ventilation window 3, and a humidity sensor 14 is installed inside the storage box 2 above the air exchange box 9. A display screen 1 for displaying the temperature and humidity values ​​inside the storage box 2 is installed outside the storage box 2 above the ventilation window 3.

[0024] In one implementation, the temperature sensor 10 is mainly used to detect the temperature inside the storage box 2, the humidity sensor 14 is mainly used to detect the humidity inside the storage box 2, and the display screen 1 is mainly used to display the temperature and humidity values ​​inside the storage box 2. At the same time, the display screen 1 integrates a control module to facilitate the start-up of the motor 134 and the blower 121 as needed.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-2 The storage box 2 has an electric heating plate 11 with built-in heating wire installed on the back, and the opening of the storage box 2 is connected to the box door 8 by a hinge.

[0026] As one implementation method, the electric heating plate 11 can heat up the storage box 2 when the temperature inside the storage box 2 is too low.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-3 At the bottom of the storage box 2, there is a universal wheel 4 connected by bolts at each of the four corners. The universal wheel 4 has a wheel lock.

[0028] As one implementation method, the universal wheels 4 can be used to achieve flexible movement and adjustment of the device.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The sliding column 5 passes through the placement plate 6 and slides with the placement plate 6, and the size of the limiting hole 7 matches the size of the limiting column 152.

[0030] As one implementation method, the sliding column 5 can not only provide an installation base for the placement plate 6, but also ensure the stable sliding of the placement plate 6 when adjusting its height.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The slot 155 is opened in the middle of the bottom end of the placement plate 6. Two limiting posts 152 are symmetrically welded on the opposite side walls of the two plates 154. The return spring 153 is installed between the slot 155 and the plates 154, and the limiting posts 152 pass through the return spring 153.

[0032] In one implementation, the lever 154 is mainly used to realize the linkage of the limit post 152, and the reset spring 153 is mainly used to realize the automatic reset of the limit post 152 after it is moved.

[0033] Please see Figures 2-3The blower 121 is bolted to one side wall of the air exchange box 9. The air blowing chamber 122 is opened in the interlayer of the side wall of the air exchange box 9. The air outlet 123 is opened on the side wall of the air blowing chamber 122 facing the air guide plate 138.

[0034] In one implementation, the blower 121 is mainly used to blow air into the air chamber 122 so that the air outlet 123 blows air into the air guide plate 138.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The support plate 131 is welded to the outside of the storage box 2 and located on the air exchange box 9. The motor 134 is installed on one side of the top of the support plate 131. The half gear 135 is connected to the power output end of the motor 134. The transmission gear 133 meshes with one side of the half gear 135. A row of rotating shafts 137 is installed on the air exchange box 9 below the transmission gear 133. The transmission gear 133 is welded to one of the rotating shafts 137.

[0036] In one implementation, the motor 134 is mainly used to provide power for the rotation of the half gear 135. The half gear 135 is engaged with the transmission gear 133 for only half the time during one rotation. During the time when the half gear 135 is not engaged with the transmission gear 133, the rotating shaft 137 will be reset under the action of the spiral spring 139 to realize the rotation reset of the air guide plate 138.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 Each shaft 137 is equipped with an air guide plate 138. A sprocket 136 is also welded to the upper side of the air guide plate 138 on the shaft 137. A chain 132 is connected to the outside of the sprocket 136. A spiral spring 139 is also installed between the bottom end of the shaft 137 and the air exchange box 9.

[0038] As one implementation, the wrap angle between the chain 132 and the sprocket 136 meets the minimum transmission wrap angle requirement to facilitate the synchronous rotation of each shaft 137.

[0039] The specific working principle is as follows: When storing Chinese medicinal materials during the production process, the height of the placement plate 6 on the sliding column 5 is first adjusted. Then, the Chinese medicinal materials to be stored are placed on the placement plate 6. Next, the door 8 is closed, and the device is connected to an external power source to put the storage device into use. During the storage process, when adjusting the height of the placement plate 6 on the sliding column 5, the lever 154 is first moved towards the center of the lever groove 155 so that the limiting column 152 retracts into the sliding hole 151. Then, the placement plate 6 is raised to the designated position on the sliding column 5. When the placement plate 6 is on the sliding column 5... After the height is adjusted, simply release the lever 154, and it will spring back to its original position under the action of the return spring 153. Simultaneously, the lever 154 will quickly insert the limiting post 152 into the corresponding limiting hole 7, thus ensuring the rapid positioning of the placement plate 6 after height adjustment. This facilitates the quick storage of medicinal herb samples on the placement plate 6. When the temperature inside the storage box 2 is too low, it can be heated by the electric heating plate 11. When the internal temperature is too high, air can be blown into the air blowing chamber 122 by the blower 121. The air entering the air blowing chamber 122 will pass through the air outlet. The air is blown out by 123, which then starts the motor 134. The motor 134 then rotates the half-gear 135, which in turn causes the transmission gear 133 to rotate intermittently. The rotation of the transmission gear 133, via the chain 132, causes the sprockets 136 to rotate synchronously, thereby rotating the shafts 137 and the air guide plate 138. The rotation of the air guide plate 138 ensures that the blown air is evenly distributed across the medicinal herb samples on each layer of the storage box 6, allowing the air to quickly pass through the gaps between the samples, achieving rapid cooling and improving airflow within the storage box 2. This improves the ventilation and heat dissipation efficiency of the Chinese medicinal materials samples in the storage box 2. When the half gear 135 does not contact the transmission gear 133 during one rotation, the rotating shaft 137 will rotate back to its original position under the action of the spiral spring 139, thereby resetting the air guide plate 138. This ensures that the air guide plate 138 will oscillate intermittently during one rotation of the transmission gear 133, achieving uniform airflow to the Chinese medicinal materials samples on the placement plate 6. When the humidity in the storage box 2 is high, the humidity in the device can be reduced by placing an external drying bag and using ventilation and drying methods to ensure stable storage of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0040] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
