Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a traditional Chinese medicine processing device, and more particularly to a device for removing impurities from Salvia miltiorrhiza. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine, as an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely used to treat various diseases since ancient times. Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, and calming the mind and relieving irritability. It is mainly used to treat menstrual disorders, postpartum abdominal pain due to blood stasis, injuries from falls and blows, and restlessness in women.

[0003] However, after harvesting, Salvia miltiorrhiza is usually processed by hand to remove mud and sand and pull off the fibrous roots. This is laborious, time-consuming, and inefficient. Furthermore, due to differences in the skill of different people, the quality of processed Salvia miltiorrhiza is unstable and cannot guarantee the uniformity of its quality. Therefore, it is necessary to design a Salvia miltiorrhiza impurity removal device for cooperatives or Salvia miltiorrhiza production bases to process large quantities of Salvia miltiorrhiza in a centralized manner to ensure the quality of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a device for removing impurities from Salvia miltiorrhiza, which features high automation, high efficiency, and stable quality of the processed Salvia miltiorrhiza. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A device for removing impurities from Salvia miltiorrhiza includes a drum rotatably mounted on a lifting frame. The lifting frame can adjust the angle of the drum relative to a horizontal plane. One end of the drum is connected to a drive device, which drives the drum to rotate. A drain hole is provided on the side wall of the drum near the drive device. The other end of the drum has an opening through which Salvia miltiorrhiza to be removed can enter the drum for tumbling and impurity removal. Impurities can be discharged through the drain hole, and the removed Salvia miltiorrhiza can be poured out through the opening. When the drum is removing impurities and shaping, the end of the lifting frame near the drum opening is raised so that the height of the drum opening end is higher than the height of the drum away from the opening end. When the drum is tilting, the end of the lifting frame near the drum opening is lowered so that the height of the drum opening end is lower than the height of the drum away from the opening end.

[0006] Furthermore, multiple spiral blades are evenly distributed inside the drum. When the drum rotates forward, the spiral blades can transport the Salvia miltiorrhiza to the bottom of the drum; when the drum rotates in reverse, the spiral blades can transport the Salvia miltiorrhiza to the opening of the drum and drop it out.

[0007] Furthermore, a buffer section is provided at the end of the spiral blade away from the inner wall of the drum, and the buffer section is arc-shaped.

[0008] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided below one end of the roller opening, and a transfer basket is placed at the outlet of the guide groove, allowing the Salvia miltiorrhiza inside the roller to slide down through the guide groove into the transfer basket for storage.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide groove is crescent-shaped, with one end corresponding to the transfer basket and the other end equipped with a baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting frame includes a support, a set of fixed legs and a set of lifting legs. The roller is rotatably mounted on the support. The lifting legs are hinged to the lower end of the support near the opening of the roller, and the fixed legs are hinged to the lower end of the support away from the opening of the roller.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting outrigger includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve that are fitted together. The outer sleeve and the inner sleeve are connected by an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder to drive the extension and retraction of the lifting outrigger.

[0012] Furthermore, there is a gap for movement between the outer and inner layers.

[0013] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is provided at the central axis of the drum. The rotating shaft is connected to the inner wall of the drum through reinforcing ribs, and both ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the lifting frame.

[0014] The present invention provides a simple and low-cost device for removing impurities from Salvia miltiorrhiza, which is suitable for use in rural cooperatives or Salvia miltiorrhiza production bases for centralized processing of large quantities of Salvia miltiorrhiza. By using a rotatable drum with spiral blades, the Salvia miltiorrhiza can be tumbled more vigorously inside the drum, which helps to shake off the mud and remove the fibrous roots, ensuring the cleaning and impurity removal effect of the Salvia miltiorrhiza. It is also highly efficient and the quality of the processed Salvia miltiorrhiza is stable.

[0015] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model more obvious and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model are given below.

The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, the same reference numerals denote the same parts throughout the drawings. In the drawings:

[0020] To better understand the purpose, function, and specific design of this utility model, the following detailed description of the Salvia miltiorrhiza purification device is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the Salvia miltiorrhiza impurity removal device of this utility model includes a drum 1, which is rotatably mounted on a lifting frame 2. A rotating shaft 6 is provided at the central axis of the drum 1. The rotating shaft 6 is connected to the inner wall of the drum 1 through reinforcing ribs 61. Both ends of the rotating shaft 6 are rotatably connected to the lifting frame 2, thereby realizing the connection between the drum 1 and the lifting frame 2. The lifting frame 2 can adjust the angle of the drum 1 relative to the horizontal plane. One end of the drum 1 is connected to a driving device 3, which can drive the drum 1 to rotate. A drain hole 11 is provided on the side wall of the drum 1 near the driving device 3. The other end of the drum 1 is provided with an opening, through which the Salvia miltiorrhiza to be cleaned and impurities removed can enter the drum 1 for tumbling and impurity removal. Impurities can be discharged through the drain hole 11, and the cleaned and impurities removed Salvia miltiorrhiza can be poured out through the opening.

[0022] Specifically, when the roller 1 is cleaning and removing impurities, the end of the lifting frame 2 near the opening of the roller 1 is raised so that the height of the opening end of the roller 1 is higher than the height of the end of the roller 1 away from the opening, so as to prevent the salvia miltiorrhiza from falling out; when the roller 1 is tilting, the end of the lifting frame 2 near the opening of the roller 1 is lowered so that the height of the opening end of the roller 1 is lower than the height of the end of the roller 1 away from the opening, so as to facilitate the salvia miltiorrhiza in the roller 1 to be tilted out; preferably, in this embodiment, a guide groove 4 is provided below the opening end of the roller 1, and a transfer basket can be placed at the outlet of the guide groove 4, so that the salvia miltiorrhiza in the roller 1 can slide into the transfer basket 5 through the guide groove 4.

[0023] Farmers often leave behind patches of tightly bound mud and sand on the surface of the salvia miltiorrhiza after processing it themselves, as well as mud and sand residue in the folds and crevices. After the salvia miltiorrhiza is tumbled and shaken inside the drum 1, the residual mud and sand will fall off. Workers can then use a water pipe to inject water into the drum 1, and the water and mud inside the drum 1 can be discharged through the drain hole 11. Additionally, the surface of the salvia miltiorrhiza sometimes has some fibrous roots. These roots can insert into the drain hole 11, and during the rotation of the drum 1, the fibrous roots are separated from the salvia miltiorrhiza due to shearing force and fall to the outside of the drum 1. When the salvia miltiorrhiza is cleaned, stop injecting water into the drum 1, and continue rotating the drum 1 to achieve the desired spin-drying effect.

[0024] Preferably, multiple spiral blades 7 are evenly distributed inside the drum 1. When the drum 1 rotates clockwise, the spiral blades 7 can transport the Salvia miltiorrhiza to the bottom of the drum 1, that is, the end near the drive device 3. Furthermore, the Salvia miltiorrhiza at the bottom of the drum 1 can tumble more violently under the action of the spiral blades 7, which is beneficial for shaking off mud and removing fibrous roots. It is worth noting that a buffer part 71 is provided at the end of the spiral blade 7 away from the inner wall of the drum 1. The buffer part 71 is arc-shaped, which can prevent the Salvia miltiorrhiza from directly hitting the end of the spiral blade 7 during tumbling, thus preventing breakage. When the drum 1 rotates counterclockwise, the spiral blades 7 can transport the Salvia miltiorrhiza to the opening of the drum 1 and allow it to fall out.

[0025] The lifting frame 2 in this embodiment includes a support 21, a set of fixed support legs 22, and a set of lifting support legs 23. The roller 1 is rotatably mounted on the support 21. The lifting support legs 23 are hinged to the lower end of the support 21 near the opening of the roller 1, and the fixed support legs 22 are hinged to the lower end of the support 21 away from the opening of the roller 1. The lifting support legs 23 in this embodiment include an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve that are fitted together. The outer sleeve and the inner sleeve are connected by an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. Both ends of the electric cylinder or hydraulic cylinder are hinged to the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve, respectively, to drive the extension and retraction of the lifting support legs 23. It is worth noting that since the inner sleeve will change angle in the vertical direction during the lifting process, a movable gap is provided between the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve to allow the inner sleeve to rise and fall freely without being restricted by the outer sleeve.

[0026] The guide groove 4 is crescent-shaped. One end of the crescent-shaped guide groove 4 corresponds to the transfer basket 5, and the other end is equipped with a baffle 41 to prevent the salvia miltiorrhiza from falling.

[0027] The present invention provides a simple and low-cost device for removing impurities from Salvia miltiorrhiza, which is suitable for use in rural cooperatives or Salvia miltiorrhiza production bases for centralized processing of large quantities of Salvia miltiorrhiza. By using a rotatable drum 1 in conjunction with spiral blades 7, the Salvia miltiorrhiza can be tumbled more vigorously inside the drum 1, which is beneficial for shaking off mud and sand and removing fibrous roots, ensuring the cleaning and impurity removal effect of the Salvia miltiorrhiza. It is also highly efficient and the quality of the processed Salvia miltiorrhiza is stable.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
