Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces technology, specifically to a device for germinating sterilized and disinfected traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] The germination and processing of Chinese medicinal herbs is one of the core techniques with a long history in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Germinated Chinese medicinal herbs, such as malt, germinated rice, soybean sprouts, and rice sprouts, occupy an important position in clinical applications and the health industry due to their unique medicinal activities. With the acceleration of the modernization and standardization of traditional Chinese medicine, the market has placed higher demands on the yield, quality stability, and hygiene and safety of germinated Chinese medicinal herbs. In particular, the optimization of the seed sterilization and germination cultivation processes has become a key issue that the industry urgently needs to address.

[0003] In the existing technological system, the sterilization treatment of Chinese herbal medicine seeds before germination is mostly carried out in a decentralized and single manner, and an integrated solution that is deeply integrated with the germination and cultivation process has not yet been formed. On the one hand, traditional sterilization methods have significant limitations. Although high-temperature sterilization can disinfect microorganisms, it is easy to destroy the enzyme activity and embryo vitality inside the seeds, resulting in a significant reduction in germination rate. Although low-temperature sterilization methods such as ultraviolet light, ozone, and low-temperature humid heat can preserve seed vitality, they generally have problems such as insufficient sterilization uniformity and many blind spots in sterilization. It is difficult to completely remove harmful microorganisms such as mold and bacteria on the seed surface, which can easily cause mold contamination during germination, affecting the quality of the medicinal materials and the safety of medication.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This embodiment describes a sterilization and disinfection device for germinating Chinese herbal medicine slices, comprising: a bottom cylinder 1, a top cover 2 at the end of the bottom cylinder 1, ultraviolet sterilization lamps 3 evenly distributed on the inner top wall of the top cover 2, a vortex plate 4 connected to the circumferential side wall of the top cover 2 below the ultraviolet sterilization lamps 3, a feed pipe 5 connected to the top wall of the top cover 2 at the center of the vortex plate 4, a turntable 6 provided with a gap at the lower end of the vortex plate 4, the gap between the lower end of the vortex plate 4 and the upper surface of the turntable 6 being smaller than the seed particle size, and a gap larger than the seed particle size between the edge of the turntable 6 and the inner wall of the bottom cylinder 1, and a rotating shaft 7 concentrically connected to the lower surface of the turntable 6, the rotating shaft 7 being rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the bottom cylinder 1, and the rotating shaft 7 being connected to a power mechanism 8.

[0018] The seeds of medicinal slices fall into the center of the vortex plate 4 on the turntable 6 through the feed pipe 5. The power mechanism 8 drives the turntable 6 to rotate at a constant speed through the rotating shaft 7. The turntable 6 drives the seeds to roll along the vortex track of the vortex plate 4 and move outward. The vortex plate 4 greatly extends the rolling time of the seeds on the turntable within the limited space on the upper surface of the turntable 6. The rolling seeds are directly irradiated by the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 3 above, achieving sterilization without dead angles and with very good sterilization uniformity.

[0019] The upper half of the vortex plate 4 is evenly connected with brackets 9, which are connected to the inner wall of the top cover 2.

[0020] The bracket 9 fixes each layer of the vortex plate 4 to prevent the vortex plate 4 from contacting the turntable 6 under its own elasticity and causing wear. The upper bracket 9 will not interfere with the movement of the seeds below.

[0021] An inclined plate 10 is connected to the inner wall of the bottom cylinder 1 at the bottom of the turntable 6. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the inclined plate 10. A discharge port 11 is opened on the side wall of the bottom cylinder 1 at the lowest point of the inclined plate 10.

[0022] After the seeds are discharged through the vortex plate 4, they fall onto the inclined plate 10 along the gap between the edge of the turntable 6 and the inner wall of the bottom cylinder 1, and roll down the inclined plate 10 to the discharge port 11 for easy collection.

[0023] The power mechanism 8 includes a servo motor 81. The bracket part of the servo motor 81 is connected to the bottom wall of the bottom cylinder 1. The shaft end of the motor 81 is connected to a gear 82. The gear 82 and the gear 83 are meshed and decelerated. The gear 83 is connected to the rotating shaft 7.

[0024] Servo motor 81 drives gear 82 to rotate, and gear 82 drives shaft 7 to rotate through gear 83. The sterilization time is controlled by controlling the speed of servo motor 81, and the deceleration engagement allows for more precise adjustment.

[0025] The vortex rail plate 4 is made of stainless steel, and its surface is polished to a mirror finish.

[0026] The vortex rail plate 4 features a stainless steel mirror finish, which enhances the UV reflectivity, allowing UV rays to be better reflected onto the seeds and further improving the sterilization effect.
