[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an astragalus cleaning device includes a feeding conveyor 1, a discharging conveyor 2, a shell 3 with an N-shaped cross-section, a driving wheel 4, a driven wheel 5, a chain belt 6, fins 7, bristles 8, a nozzle 14, a reducer 11, a coupling 12, and a water baffle 10.

[0016] The feeding conveyor 1 and the discharging conveyor 2 are both conveyor chains or belts, and their functions are to convey the astragalus roots to the front of the shell 3 and to convey the astragalus roots behind the shell 3 away.

[0017] The housing 3 is a stainless steel shell with an n-shaped cross section. Figure 1 As shown, the housing 3 can be seen as consisting of two parallel plates at the bottom and a semicircular plate at the top.

[0018] The driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 5 are of the same size and are located on a vertical line. The chain belt 6 is connected to the driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 5. In one embodiment, the width of the chain belt is 100 cm, which can clean cylindrical objects with a length of less than 1 meter. The driving wheel 4 is located on the upper side of the driven wheel 5, and the driving wheel 4 is located in the shell 3 as a whole. There is a semi-annular gap between the shell 3 and the driving wheel 4 at the upper part of the shell 3. Fins 7 are installed on the outer side of the chain belt 6 at intervals. The distance between two adjacent fins is 1.2-1.5 times the diameter of the astragalus. The fin can be a rectangular plate. In one embodiment, the distance between two adjacent fins is 4 cm. In one embodiment, the angle between the fin 7 and the transmission direction of the chain belt 6 at the connection therewith is 75°. The length of the fin 7 is equal to the width of the chain belt 6. There are multiple small holes on the fin 7 to leak water. The width of the fin 7 is 80%-100% of the diameter of the astragalus. In one embodiment, the width of the fin 7 is 3 cm. To clean columns of varying diameters (including astragalus), in one embodiment, fin 7 is a √-shaped structure consisting of a bottom rectangular plate and an upper rectangular plate, which form a 75° angle. The bottom rectangular plate is secured to chain belt 6. Fin 7 and chain belt 6 are detachably connected. Fins 7 of varying widths can be customized as needed, and the detachable connection includes bolting, etc., to secure them to chain belt 6. Fin 7 is used to carry astragalus roots from the left inner side of the housing to the right inner side.

[0019] The chain belt 6 on the side of the driving wheel 4 has an outer shell 3 with an n-shaped cross-section. In one embodiment, the inner side of the shell 3 is equidistant from the outer side of the chain belt 6, and there are multiple shells (only one is actually used, and the others are used as spares). Different shells 3 have different distances from the outer side of the chain belt 6, and different shells 3 are replaced when cleaning columns with different diameters. A water baffle 10 is fixed to the rear side of the shell 3 to prevent water from splashing behind the water baffle 10. A gap 13 is provided on the top of the shell 3 that is parallel to the axis of the driving wheel. The gap 13 spans the entire shell 3. Vertical plates 16 are welded on both sides of the gap 13 (one plate is welded on each side). There are nozzles 14 between the vertical plates along the length of the gap 13. In one embodiment, the nozzle is a long tube with a row of small holes on the lower side of the long tube.

[0020] A connecting plate 15 extends from each end of the housing 3 (fixedly connected). Connecting plate 15 is a rectangular plate, perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and the horizontal distance from connecting plate 15 to the feed conveyor 1 is 1-1.9 times the diameter of the astragalus root. In one embodiment, the horizontal distance from connecting plate 15 to the feed conveyor 1 is 3.5 cm. Bristles 8 are located on the inside of the housing 3, and the driving pulley 4 rotates clockwise. The length of the bristles 8 is 0.6 cm. The motor and reducer 11 are connected to the driving pulley 4 via a coupling 12. The coupling 12 extends the distance between the motor and reducer 11 and the driving pulley 4 to prevent water splashing from affecting the motor and reducer 11.

[0021] A rectangular top block 9 is provided on the underside of the feed conveyor 1. The distance between the top block 9 and the nearest fin 7 is 0.8 cm, and the horizontal distance between the top block 9 and the upper surface of the feed conveyor 1 is 0.5 cm. The length of the top block 9 is equal to the width of the feed conveyor 1. The purpose of the top block 9 is to prevent the astragalus root from falling out of the end of the conveyor 1.

[0022] During operation, the feed conveyor 1 arranges the astragalus roots in a row close to the chain belt 6. When the fins 7 on the chain belt 6 run to the feed conveyor 1 (the horizontal height of the fins 7 is lower than or equal to the horizontal height of the upper surface of the feed conveyor 1), the fins 7 carry one astragalus root upward, and then the next fin 7 carries another astragalus root upward. In this way, the fins 7 carry the astragalus roots upward in turn. The astragalus roots move upward between the chain belt 6 and the outer shell 3. The water sprayed from the nozzle 14 cleans the astragalus roots. At the same time, the bristles 8 on the inside of the outer shell 3 roll and clean the astragalus roots. When the astragalus roots move to the top of the driving wheel 4, the astragalus roots move downward under the action of gravity and the extrusion of the fins 7. The bristles 8 continue to clean the astragalus roots. When the astragalus roots run out of the outer shell 3, they fall onto the discharging conveyor 2 under the action of the slope of the fins 7 and are transported away.

[0023] The utility model can quickly, cleanly and automatically complete the cleaning of astragalus.
