Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medicinal material processing equipment, specifically a mixed processing equipment for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a unique medical treasure of my country, favored by many patients for its significant therapeutic effects and minimal side effects. Processing is a crucial step in TCM production, with stir-frying being the most widespread method. This requires a TCM stir-frying machine. Processed herbs are easier to preserve. The specific processing method depends on the properties of the herbs and the therapeutic needs. The properties of a herb determine its physicochemical effects. TCM is generally processed through stir-frying. Current methods include drum stir-frying and stirring stir-frying. The process involves mixing the herbs and heating them in a wok. TCM decoction pieces are typically a mixture of multiple herbs stir-fried together.
[0003] However, in practice, it has been found that the processing results of Chinese medicine are closely related to the thickness and area of the Chinese medicine slices. Although Chinese medicine slices are cut, they still have inconsistencies in thickness and area. When thinner Chinese medicine slices are stir-fried together with thicker Chinese medicine slices, because they are placed in the same pot and the cooking temperature is the same, the results of stir-frying Chinese medicine slices with different thicknesses and areas are also different. Smaller pieces of medicinal materials may be overcooked, while larger pieces may not be cooked, which leads to inconsistent quality of Chinese medicine processing.
[0004] Therefore, a mixed processing equipment for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment includes a frame, an electrical control box, and processing pots. Two processing pots are provided, both of which are located on top of the electrical control box. The frame is also equipped with a medicinal material sieving device. A support frame is fixedly installed on the frame, and a stirring rod is provided on the support frame.
[0007] Specifically, the support frame is equipped with a servo motor, which is controlled by a PLC controller in the electrical control box. The electrical control box is equipped with a heating device, which is located directly below the processing pot and in contact with the bottom of the processing pot. Each processing pot has a discharge port on its bottom side wall, and each discharge port is equipped with a switch.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction piece mixing and processing equipment includes a frame 1, an electrical control box 2, and two processing pots 3, both located on top of the electrical control box 2. The frame 1 also includes a medicinal material sieving device. A support frame 4 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and a stirring rod 7 is mounted on the support frame 4. Each processing pot 3 has a discharge port on its bottom side wall, and each discharge port is equipped with a switch. A servo motor 6 is mounted on the support frame 4, and the servo motor 6 is controlled by a PLC controller within the electrical control box 2. The electrical control box 2 is equipped with a heating device located directly below and in contact with the bottom of each processing pot 3. Each processing pot 3 also has a discharge port on its bottom side wall, and each discharge port is equipped with a switch.
[0022] The electrical control box 2 is equipped with a control knob and a display for controlling the heating power of the heating device, which is a gas heating device.
[0023] The medicinal materials (which are pre-prepared granular Chinese medicinal materials) are manually placed into the processing pot 3, along with the required raw materials, so that the various raw materials and medicinal granules are mixed. The power supply of the equipment is turned on, so that the processing pot 3 is heated, and the stirring rod 7 rotates to stir. After the Chinese medicinal materials are stir-fried, they flow into the prepared loading box for collection after the bottom opening 10 is manually opened.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] Based on Embodiment 1, the medicinal material screening device includes a support rod 8, a loading barrel 5, and a motor 6. There are two support rods 8, which are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the top wall of the support frame 4. The loading barrel 5 is rotatably installed on the support rod 8, and a screen 9 is fixedly installed inside the loading barrel 5. The motor 6 is fixedly installed on the support rod 8, and the output shaft of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the loading barrel 5.
[0026] The screen 9 is cylindrical, and the loading barrel 5 has an opening 10-1. The screen 9 also has an opening 10-2. Both opening 10-1 and opening 10-2 have sliding grooves. A first gate 11 and a second gate 12 are slidably installed in the sliding grooves. Both the first gate 11 and the second gate 12 extend outward through the barrel body of the loading barrel 5.
[0027] A limiting strip 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the filling hopper 5. A through hole is provided on the limiting strip 15, and a rod 13 and a spring are fixedly connected to the through hole. The rod 13 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the spring. Insertion holes 14 are provided on the side walls of both the first stop door 11 and the second stop door 12, and the rod 13 corresponds to one of the insertion holes 14.
[0028] The staff manually pulls open the first barrier 11 and the second barrier 12, pours in the Chinese medicinal materials through the opening 10, and slides the first barrier 11 and the second barrier 12 inward so that the insertion hole 14 corresponds to the insertion rod 13. The insertion hole 14 is locked in the insertion hole 13 under the action of the spring force, thus completing the limiting of the first barrier 11 and the second barrier 12. The amount of material in the loading bucket 5 is equal to the amount of material in one processing pot 3.
[0029] After screening, smaller medicinal materials are located on the inner wall of the loading barrel 5, while larger medicinal materials are located inside the screen 9. The motor 6 is controlled to rotate at a specific angle so that the opening 10 is aligned with the processing pot 3. The first baffle 11 is opened by hand to allow the smaller medicinal materials to enter the processing pot 3. Then, the opening 10 is rotated to be above another processing pot 3, and the second baffle 12 is pulled by hand to allow the larger medicinal materials inside the screen 9 to fall into the other processing pot 3.
[0030] By using a sieving device, medicinal materials of different particle sizes are separated and placed into different processing pots 3 for stir-frying. This allows medicinal materials of different particle sizes to be processed at different temperatures, thereby improving the quality of medicinal material processing.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
