Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Chinese medicinal herb production technology, specifically to a medicinal herb raw material cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of Chinese medicinal herbs, soil, dust, or other impurities may be brought out during the harvesting process, which will directly affect the quality of the herbs in subsequent processing. Therefore, after slicing the herbs, they need to be cleaned.

[0003] Existing cleaning equipment mainly involves turbulence in a cleaning tank to remove dust and other floating matter, as well as silt deposited at the bottom of the tank. This cleaning method causes the medicinal materials to stay in the cleaning tank for too long, resulting in a serious loss of efficacy. On the other hand, excessively violent water flow may damage the surface of the medicinal materials, thus affecting their quality. Therefore, we provide a medicinal material cleaning device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for cleaning medicinal materials.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this invention is:

[0006] (1) How to set up a medicine feeding conveyor belt in the brushing and even medicine component to first limit the amount of Chinese medicinal materials to be cleaned and transport them, control the feeding speed, and use two bidirectional brushing rollers to pre-treat the Chinese medicinal materials, thereby solving the problems of reduced processing efficiency and effect caused by excessive feeding speed and the inability to clean stubborn dirt in the existing technology.

[0007] (2) How to replace the cleaning method of disturbing water flow with solid structure by using bubble rinsing in the soaking tank, and solve the problem of long soaking time and damage to the surface of medicinal materials caused by disturbing water flow in the existing technology;

[0008] (3) How to dynamically remove light impurities floating on the water surface by setting up a diversion baffle and a flushing nozzle, thus solving the problem of dynamic removal of impurities in the existing technology.

[0009] The present invention can be achieved by the following technical solution: a medicinal material cleaning device, including a cleaning box, the cleaning box comprising a soaking tank, a transition tank and a spray tank, a medicine feeding conveyor belt being inclinedly arranged on one side of one end of the soaking tank, and a medicine brushing and evenly distributing component for separating feeding and bidirectional brushing of medicine being fixedly arranged on the conveyor frame of the inclined section of the medicine feeding conveyor belt.

[0010] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the soaking tank is horizontally arranged and the bottom sidewall is cleaned by air bubble rinsing.

[0011] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that a flow guide baffle is installed at a certain angle to the top of the soaking tank and the conveying direction of the medicine delivery conveyor belt. At both ends of the flow guide baffle, a water spray nozzle and a debris removal port are respectively provided on the side wall of the soaking tank.

[0012] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the transition tank is used for solid-liquid separation of Chinese medicinal materials, and two partitions are provided on both sides of the transition tank that can be raised and lowered and slidably.

[0013] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the brushing and evenly distributing medicine component includes a mounting frame, a set of brushing structures are respectively arranged in two directions in the mounting frame, and a limited quantity conveying roller is rotatably arranged near the feeding end of the Chinese medicinal materials, and a material distribution rib is uniformly fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the limited quantity conveying roller.

[0014] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the two sets of brushing structures are arranged horizontally and vertically respectively, and each set of brushing structures includes two parallel brushing rollers. The horizontally arranged brushing rollers are driven by a gear pair, and the vertically arranged brushing rollers are driven by a worm gear.

[0015] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that a spraying assembly is provided above the spraying tank. The spraying assembly includes slide rails symmetrically fixed on both sides of the spraying tank. Spraying slide bars are slidably arranged on the slide rails respectively. Multiple spraying rods are uniformly connected between two spraying slide bars. Multiple spraying nozzles are connected and fixed on the outer periphery of each spraying rod.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By setting up a medicine feeding conveyor belt in the medicine brushing and evenly distributing component, the Chinese medicinal materials to be cleaned are first divided and transported in a limited quantity, and the feeding speed is controlled. The Chinese medicinal materials are then preliminarily treated by two bidirectional brushing roller structures, so that the feeding speed is controllable and matches the processing speed. The presence of the two brushing roller structures ensures that the firmly adhered dirt on the Chinese medicinal materials can be easily removed.

[0018] 2. By using air bubble rinsing in the soaking tank instead of cleaning with physical structures that disturb the water flow, the problem of loss of medicinal efficacy caused by soaking and cleaning can be avoided. It can also prevent the surface of the medicinal materials from being scratched by collisions caused by physical structures disturbing the water flow, thus ensuring the quality of the medicinal materials.

[0019] 3. By setting up diversion baffles and flushing nozzles, light impurities floating on the water surface are dynamically discharged, which improves the efficiency of impurity removal and saves water resources.

[0020] 4. Use spray components to spray repeatedly to increase the coverage area and ensure that all surfaces of the medicinal materials are sprayed;

[0021] 5. All cleaning water is treated and then recycled for reuse, which saves cleaning costs, protects water resources from waste, and is beneficial to environmental protection. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, a medicinal material cleaning device includes a cleaning chamber 1, which is divided into three parts and labeled as a soaking tank 13, a transition tank 12, and a spray tank 11. A medicine delivery conveyor belt 2 is inclinedly arranged on the side of the cleaning chamber 1 near the soaking tank 13, and the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2 runs through the three tanks. A medicine brushing and evenly distributing component 3 is fixedly arranged on the conveyor frame at the inclined end of the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2.

[0031] When in use, Chinese medicinal materials are put into the end of the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2, and after preliminary treatment by the medicine brushing and even medicine component 3, they are successively put into the soaking and washing tank 13 for soaking and washing, then into the transition tank 12 for solid-liquid separation, and finally into the spray tank 11 for spray rinsing.

[0032] Among them, the brushing and evenly distributing component 3 includes a mounting frame 31. A set of brushing structures is set in two directions in the mounting frame 31. A limited quantity conveying roller 32 is rotatably set near the feeding end of the Chinese medicinal materials. A material distribution rib is evenly fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the limited quantity conveying roller 32. The material distribution and evenly distributing of the Chinese medicinal materials is completed in the gap between the material distribution rib and the conveyor belt of the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2.

[0033] Specifically, the two sets of brushing structures are arranged horizontally and vertically, respectively. Each set of brushing structures includes two parallel brushing rollers. Gear pairs are rotatably arranged on both symmetrical sides of the mounting frame 31, respectively marked as horizontal drive gear one 33, horizontal drive gear two 34, and horizontal drive gear three 35. Horizontal drive gear one 33 and horizontal drive gear two 34 mesh with each other for transmission. Transmission soft racks 21 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2. Horizontal drive gear one 33 and horizontal drive gear three 35 mesh with transmission soft racks 21 for transmission. Horizontal drive gear one 33 and horizontal drive gear two 34 drive horizontal cleaning roller one 331 and horizontal cleaning roller two 332 to rotate relative to each other. The rotation of horizontal drive gear three 35 drives the two worm gears 36 fixedly connected to it to rotate. The two worm gears 36 are meshed with worm wheels 37 for transmission, and drive the longitudinal cleaning roller 371 to rotate relative to each other through the worm wheels 37. It should be noted that the rotation directions of the two worm gears 36 are opposite.

[0034] Moreover, a longitudinal water outlet rod 39 and a transverse flushing rod 38 are fixedly installed in the middle of the two sets of washing structures. When the washing rollers perform preliminary treatment on the medicinal materials, they provide water flow to improve the washing efficiency and make the firmly adhered dirt on the medicinal materials come off smoothly.

[0035] After being washed, the medicinal materials enter the soaking tank 13. A horizontally installed herb baffle 8 is installed in the soaking tank 13. After entering the soaking tank 13, the medicinal materials are located below the herb baffle 8. At this time, the sliding partition 121 of the transition tank 12 near the soaking tank 13 descends, thereby sealing the transition tank 12 and the soaking tank 13. The bottom side wall of the soaking tank 13 is provided with water injection holes and air injection holes. After injecting a certain amount of water into it, a large amount of gas is introduced into the water, thereby generating a large number of bubbles, which disturb the medicinal materials in the soaking tank 13. This not only prevents the medicinal materials from accumulating at the bottom of the tank and making it difficult to separate the impurities, but also avoids the problem of damaging the surface of the medicinal materials by using other structures to disturb them. During this process, the conveyor belt 2 temporarily stops operating.

[0036] After rinsing with bubbles for a period of time, the fine impurities of light impurities will float to the surface of the water through the herb screen 8. Water will then be sprayed through the water spray nozzle 5, and the impurity removal valve 10 will open the impurity removal port 9 located on the side wall of the rinsing tank 13. A horizontally inclined guide baffle 7 is installed between the impurity removal port 9 and the water spray nozzle 5. Guided by the guide baffle 7, the water flows out of the impurity removal port 9, thereby carrying away the light impurities floating on the water surface. A filter box 6 is installed directly below the impurity removal port 9. Water containing impurities enters the filter box 6 and is filtered through the filter bag.

[0037] Raise the partition 121 and turn on the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2. The Chinese medicinal materials in the soaking tank 13 enter the transition tank 12 under the action of the water flow and the conveying action of the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2. Then close the partition 121 and stop the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2. The Chinese medicinal materials complete solid-liquid separation in the transition tank 12. The bottom of the transition tank 12 is equipped with a liftable filter screen close to the upper surface of the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2. After opening the sealing valve at the bottom of the transition tank 12, the water flow carries away the sediment at the bottom and discharges it.

[0038] Then, lift up the partition 2 122 that is slidably set on the other side, turn on the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2, and the Chinese medicinal materials that have completed solid-liquid separation enter the spray tank 11. Stop the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2, close the partition 2 122, and spray the Chinese medicinal materials with the spray assembly 4 that is slidably set on the top of the spray tank 11 for the final spray cleaning. Finally, the Chinese medicinal materials are discharged and dried under the action of the medicine delivery conveyor belt 2, completing this round of medicine cleaning.

[0039] The spray assembly 4 includes slide rails 401 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the spray tank 11. Spray slide bars 402 are slidably arranged on the slide rails 401 respectively. Multiple spray rods 403 are evenly connected between the two spray slide bars 402. Multiple spray nozzles 404 are connected and fixed on the outer periphery of each spray rod 403. Multiple water injection hoses are connected to the side of the spray slide bars 402, and the other end of the multiple water injection hoses is connected to a return water supply tank 406. The return water supply tank 406 supplies cleaning water to the spray assembly 4.

[0040] After treatment, the wastewater in the filter box 6 and the transition tank 12 is also returned to the return water supply box 406 for reuse, thereby saving a lot of water resources. After the return water supply box 406 supplies water to the water supply pipe 405, the water is finally sprayed and cleaned by the spray nozzle 404 through the connected water path. During the cleaning process, the spray component 4 slides back and forth to increase the spray coverage area and ensure that all the surfaces of the medicinal materials can be sprayed.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
