Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicine puffing equipment, and in particular to a puffing device for processing Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] For seed-based Chinese medicinal herbs, the active ingredients are not easily extracted, resulting in poor extraction efficiency. People have come up with the idea of ​​using puffing. After puffing, the herbs change from dense fruits to fluffy ones, thus transforming the internal structure of the herbs into a sponge-like, fluffy, and net-like structure. This greatly facilitates the extraction of active ingredients and further processing, thus enhancing the efficacy of the medicine.

[0003] Existing puffing equipment is required for the puffing of Chinese herbal medicines. However, during the puffing process, the water molecules inside the herbs become overheated and explode under high pressure. This explosion releases dust and debris, which float in the air, worsening the working environment for processing Chinese herbal medicines. Furthermore, the puffing equipment typically uses a drum design to ensure even heating of the herbs. However, unloading from this drum is cumbersome, sometimes requiring workers to manually empty the puffed herbs from the drum, which is extremely inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an extrusion device for processing traditional Chinese medicine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a puffing device for processing traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a support mechanism, wherein a puffing mechanism for puffing traditional Chinese medicine is provided on the top of the support mechanism, and a purification mechanism for purifying dust during the puffing process of traditional Chinese medicine is provided on the top of the puffing mechanism. The puffing mechanism includes a puffing barrel and a semi-circular heating plate disposed on the outer wall of the puffing barrel. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to one end of the puffing barrel, and a motor is installed on the other side of the mounting frame. A spiral stirring blade is rotatably disposed inside the puffing barrel. The spiral stirring blade is a cylindrical shape composed of a circumferential array of multiple spiral blades. The drive end of the motor passes through the mounting frame and the barrel wall of the puffing barrel and is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral stirring blade. The purification mechanism includes an exhaust pipe and an exhaust pipe that both penetrate the side wall of the puffing barrel. The ends of the exhaust pipe and the exhaust pipe away from the puffing barrel are connected to both ends of the purification box. A dust collection trough is provided on the top of the purification box. A dust collection drawer is fitted inside the dust collection trough. The dust collection drawer is framed and lined with a non-woven fabric mesh. A negative pressure fan is provided at the end of the purification box near the exhaust pipe.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The dust collection drawer is equipped with a handle on the outside. One side of the dust collection drawer is sealed and locked into the middle of the side wall of the purification box, which is a central control through-hole setting. The non-woven fabric mesh is a multi-layer barrier mesh inside.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The puffing barrel has a discharge port at the end away from the mounting frame. An end cap is threaded onto the discharge port, and a handle is installed on the end cap.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The ends of the spiral stirring blades furthest from the motor are fixed together by a tripod.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The support mechanism includes a base and a support mounted on the upper part of the base. One end of the support is connected to the base via a hinge. A bracket is also installed on the bottom of the base away from the hinge. A hydraulic rod is hinged to the other end of the bracket. The upper end of the hydraulic rod and the end of the support away from the hinge are hinged to each other.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The heating plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support, and the mounting bracket is fixed to one end of the top of the support.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The support has multiple legs on both sides, and the lower ends of the legs are all supported on the top sides of the base.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, when the puffing barrel is used to puff traditional Chinese medicine, the negative pressure fan can draw away the air containing dust and debris from the puffing process through the purification box. At this time, the dust and debris are purified by the non-woven fabric mesh, and the purified hot air enters the puffing barrel through the return air pipe. The heat is not lost while the dust and debris in the puffing process are purified, thus achieving a friendly working environment during the puffing process.

[0013] In this invention, during puffing, the motor stirs the Chinese medicine through the spiral stirring blades, while the heating plate heats the Chinese medicine through the puffing tank, gradually bringing it to the puffing pressure and temperature for successful puffing. After puffing is complete, the end cap is unscrewed, and the hydraulic rod lifts the support from the base, allowing the puffed Chinese medicine to be poured out from the discharge port. During pouring, the motor reverses the spiral stirring blades, allowing the Chinese medicine to be poured out in one go, eliminating the need for separate handling by workers, making it convenient and efficient.
