Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Atractylodes macrocephala technology, specifically relating to a device for processing, purifying, and grading Atractylodes macrocephala. Background Technology

[0002] Charred Atractylodes macrocephala is a commonly used Chinese medicine that has undergone specific processing. Its medicinal material comes from the dried rhizome of Atractylodes macrocephala, a plant in the Asteraceae family. During processing, raw Atractylodes macrocephala slices are usually placed in a stir-frying container, heated and stir-fried over medium heat until the surface of Atractylodes macrocephala turns charred brown, the inside turns brownish-brown, and a charred aroma is emitted. After cooling, charred Atractylodes macrocephala is obtained.

[0003] Color sorters are one of the production equipment for charred Atractylodes macrocephala. They mainly use optical recognition systems to quickly capture and distinguish the standard color that charred Atractylodes macrocephala should have, as well as the impurities and discoloration of inferior products. Then, high-pressure airflow and other devices are used to accurately separate and remove these unqualified components. This not only avoids the problems of low efficiency and easy omissions in manual screening, but also strictly controls the color and appearance consistency of each batch of charred Atractylodes macrocephala, ensuring that the medicinal materials meet the pharmaceutical quality standards, and providing a guarantee for the stability of subsequent efficacy and the safety of clinical use.

[0004] However, before color sorting, existing charred Atractylodes macrocephala usually contains various impurities. If the charred Atractylodes macrocephala is not cleaned and graded, it will not only cause frequent problems such as screen blockage and sensor misjudgment during the operation of the color sorting equipment due to impurities, which will greatly reduce the color sorting efficiency, but also make it impossible to accurately distinguish between qualified and unqualified materials in the color sorting process due to the large differences in particle size of charred Atractylodes macrocephala. This will result in the wrong rejection of high-quality charred Atractylodes macrocephala and the residue of inferior materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a processing, cleaning, and grading device for Atractylodes macrocephala, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a processing, cleaning, and grading device for charred Atractylodes macrocephala, comprising a support box, a transmission cavity at the top of the support box, a filter box slidably mounted inside the transmission cavity via a transmission assembly, a discharge cavity inside the filter box, a plurality of guide strips fixedly connected in a linear array inside the discharge cavity, guide grooves between the guide strips, a receiving cavity below the guide strips and at the bottom of the discharge cavity, a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the side wall of the filter box and outside the support box, and a plurality of discharge holes at the bottom of the filter box.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the guide strip and the bottom of the receiving cavity both slope downward from left to right, the discharge pipe is connected to the receiving cavity, and several discharge holes penetrate the bottom of the receiving cavity.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a crankshaft rotatably connected inside the transmission cavity, a bearing fixedly sleeved on the side surface of the crankshaft, a transmission rod fixedly connected to the outer ring sidewall of the bearing, the other end of the transmission rod being hinged to the filter box, and a rotary motor fixedly installed on the left side of the support box, with the transmission end of the rotary motor being driven by the crankshaft.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission rod includes a connecting rod one fixedly connected to the outer ring sidewall of the bearing, and the end of the connecting rod one away from the bearing has a connecting groove.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission rod further includes a second connecting rod hinged to the rear end of the filter box. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the end of the second connecting rod away from the filter box. The shape of the connecting block is adapted to the connecting groove and is fixedly connected by bolts.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the support box has symmetrically distributed limiting grooves, the bottom of the transmission cavity is fixedly connected to a limiting slide bar that matches the limiting groove, the bottom of the transmission cavity has a conical groove, the bottom of the support box is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe two that communicates with the conical groove, the outside of the discharge pipe two and the bottom of the support box is fixedly connected to a support leg, and the bottom of the support leg is fixedly connected to a support platform.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention, through the coordinated operation of a filter box and its internal discharge chamber, guide strips, guide trough, receiving chamber, external discharge pipe, and bottom discharge hole, achieves two main benefits. First, it enables preliminary screening of materials, separating some impurities and small materials from the charred Atractylodes macrocephala. The receiving chamber receives these materials, and the discharge hole then filters out fine impurities such as rice used in processing, significantly reducing the likelihood of impurities entering the subsequent color sorting equipment. This avoids screen clogging and sensor misjudgment from the source, ensuring color sorting efficiency. Second, the inclined design of the guide strip's upper surface concentrates larger charred Atractylodes macrocephala, while the discharge pipe precisely discharges smaller charred Atractylodes macrocephala, enabling grading of the charred Atractylodes macrocephala by particle size. This avoids the problem of inaccurate differentiation between qualified and unqualified materials due to significant particle size differences, reducing the chance of high-quality charred Atractylodes macrocephala being mistakenly rejected and inferior materials remaining. Ultimately, it provides high-quality materials with uniform specifications and few impurities for subsequent color sorting of charred Atractylodes macrocephala, fully meeting the practical needs of charred Atractylodes macrocephala processing, purification, and grading.

[0013] This invention utilizes a rotary motor to drive a crankshaft to rotate, which in turn generates a reciprocating pull on the filter box via a transmission rod connected by bearings. This stable vibration of the filter box accelerates the separation of the charred atractylodes and processed rice within the filter box, preventing materials from lingering in the guide strips, guide troughs, or receiving chambers, thus significantly improving the efficiency of cleaning and grading.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0017] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a processing, cleaning, and grading device for Atractylodes macrocephala, including a support box 1. A transmission cavity 2 is formed at the top of the support box 1. A filter box 3 is slidably installed inside the transmission cavity 2 via a transmission assembly. A discharge cavity 301 is formed inside the filter box 3. Several guide strips 302 are linearly arrayed and fixedly connected inside the discharge cavity 301. The guide strips 302 are obliquely distributed, and guide grooves 303 are formed between the guide strips 302. A receiving cavity 304 is formed below the guide strips 302 and at the bottom of the discharge cavity 301. The receiving cavity 304 is used to receive small Atractylodes macrocephala particles and processing auxiliary material rice that have undergone preliminary filtration by the guide grooves 303. The side wall of the filter box 3 is located outside the support box 1. The filter box 3 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 305, which is used to discharge small Atractylodes macrocephala. The bottom of the filter box 3 has several discharge holes 306, which are used for secondary filtration of small Atractylodes macrocephala and processed auxiliary material rice. The processed auxiliary material rice will fall into the transmission cavity 2 through the discharge holes 306, while the small charred Atractylodes macrocephala will be discharged through the discharge pipe 305. The upper surface of the guide bar 302 and the bottom of the receiving cavity 304 are both inclined downward from left to right, which facilitates the guidance and concentration of the larger charred Atractylodes macrocephala after filtration. The discharge pipe 305 is connected to the receiving cavity 304 to facilitate the discharge of small charred Atractylodes macrocephala. Several discharge holes 306 penetrate the bottom of the receiving cavity 304 to discharge the processed auxiliary rice.

[0019] When using this invention, the operator first pours the charred atractylodes that needs to be graded and cleaned into the filter box 3, and then vibrates the filter box 3 by activating the transmission component. During the vibration, the larger charred atractylodes inside the filter box 3 will concentrate at the top of the guide bar 302 and be discharged with the vibration of the filter box 3. The smaller charred atractylodes and some processing auxiliary rice will fall into the receiving chamber 304, while the processing auxiliary rice will fall into the transmission chamber 2 through the discharge hole 306. The smaller charred atractylodes that are blocked will be discharged through the discharge pipe 305 with the vibration of the filter box 3.

[0020] This utility model, through the coordinated operation of the filter box 3 and its internal discharge chamber 301, guide bar 302, guide trough 303, receiving chamber 304, and external discharge pipe 305 and bottom discharge hole 306, can achieve preliminary screening of materials, separating some impurities and small materials from the charred Atractylodes macrocephala. After receiving in the receiving chamber 304, the fine impurities such as rice used as processing auxiliary materials are filtered out again through the discharge hole 306, greatly reducing the possibility of impurities being mixed in during the subsequent color sorting equipment operation, thus preventing screen clogging and identification sensor malfunction from the source. To address the issue of misjudgment by the sorting equipment and ensure color sorting efficiency, the inclined design of the upper surface of the guide bar 302 can concentrate larger pieces of coarsely ground atractylodes, while the discharge pipe 305 accurately discharges smaller pieces of coarsely ground atractylodes. This allows for the grading of coarsely ground atractylodes by particle size, avoiding the problem of inaccurate differentiation between qualified and unqualified materials in the color sorting process due to significant differences in particle size. It also reduces the situation where high-quality coarsely ground atractylodes is mistakenly rejected and inferior materials remain. Ultimately, this provides high-quality materials with uniform specifications and few impurities for subsequent color sorting and processing of coarsely ground atractylodes, fully meeting the practical needs of processing, cleaning, and grading.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a crankshaft 201 rotatably connected inside the transmission cavity 2. A bearing 202 is fixedly sleeved on the side surface of the crankshaft 201. A transmission rod 203 is fixedly connected to the outer ring side wall of the bearing 202. The other end of the transmission rod 203 is hinged to the filter box 3. A rotary motor 204 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support box 1, and the transmission end of the rotary motor 204 is drivenly connected to the crankshaft 201. The transmission assembly is configured such that by starting the rotary motor 204, the transmission end of the rotary motor 204 drives the crankshaft 201 to rotate. During the rotation of the crankshaft 201, the transmission rod 203 reciprocates and pulls the filter box 3, thereby vibrating the filter box 3 and achieving the purification and grading of the bleaching agent. This invention utilizes a rotary motor 204 to drive the crankshaft 201 to rotate, which, in conjunction with the transmission rod 203 connected by the bearing 202, generates a reciprocating pull on the filter box 3. This stabilizes the vibration of the filter box 3, which accelerates the separation of the charred atractylodes and the processed rice in the filter box 3. This prevents the material from stagnating in the guide bar 302, guide trough 303, or receiving cavity 304, thus significantly improving the efficiency of cleaning and grading.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the transmission rod 203 includes a connecting rod 2031 fixedly connected to the outer ring sidewall of the bearing 202, with a connecting groove 2032 at the end of the connecting rod 2031 away from the bearing 202; the transmission rod 203 also includes a connecting rod 2033 hinged to the rear end of the filter box 3, with a connecting block 2034 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 2033 away from the filter box 3. The shape of the connecting block 2034 matches the connecting groove 2032, and they are fixedly connected by bolts. The connection between the connecting rod 2033 and the connecting rod 2031 by bolts facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the filter box 3 by the staff, and also facilitates the replacement of different filter boxes 3 when dealing with different materials, effectively improving practicality and convenience.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the support box 1 has symmetrically distributed limiting grooves 4. The bottom of the transmission cavity 2 is fixedly connected to a limiting strip 5 that matches the limiting groove 4. The bottom of the transmission cavity 2 has a conical groove 6. The bottom of the support box 1 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 7 that communicates with the conical groove 6. The outside of the discharge pipe 7 and located at the bottom of the support box 1 is a support leg 8. The bottom of the support leg 8 is fixedly connected to a support platform 9. The matching of the limiting strip 5 and the limiting groove 4 can improve the stability and safety of the horizontal vibration of the filter box 3, and prevent the filter box 3 from displacing or vibrating in other directions during horizontal vibration. The conical groove 6 facilitates the collection of the processing auxiliary rice and facilitates the discharge of the processing auxiliary rice through the discharge pipe 7.

[0024] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using the equipment for processing, cleaning, and grading Atractylodes macrocephala, the staff first installs the device at the front end of the color sorter, so that the discharge port of the filter box 3 in the initial selection stage is located at the feed port of the color sorter. Then, the Atractylodes macrocephala to be processed can be poured into the discharge chamber 301 inside the filter box 3. Then, the rotary motor 204 of the support box 1 is started. The transmission end of the rotary motor 204 drives the crankshaft 201 to rotate. The bearing 202 fixedly sleeved on the side surface of the crankshaft 201 rotates with it. Then, the transmission rod 203 fixedly connected to the outer ring side wall of the bearing 202 generates a reciprocating pull on the filter box 3, so that the filter box 3 slides along the limiting slide groove 4 at the top of the support box 1, and stably achieves horizontal vibration. During vibration, the upper surface of the obliquely distributed guide strips 302 in the discharge chamber 301 tilts, causing larger pieces of charred atractylodes to concentrate on the upper part of the guide strips 302 and be discharged into the feed inlet of the color sorter with vibration. Smaller pieces of charred atractylodes and processed auxiliary rice fall into the receiving chamber 304 below through the guide grooves 303 between the guide strips 302. The bottom of the receiving chamber 304 is tilted, and the discharge hole 306 penetrating its bottom performs secondary filtration of the material. Processed auxiliary rice falls into the transmission chamber 2 through the discharge hole 306, and is then collected by the conical groove 6 at the bottom of the transmission chamber 2 and discharged from the discharge pipe 7, which is fixed at the bottom of the support box 1 and connected to the conical groove 6. The small pieces of charred atractylodes that are blocked are discharged through the discharge pipe 305, which is located outside the support box 1 and connected to the receiving chamber 304, as the filter box 3 vibrates.

[0025] 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.
