Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal herb cleaning, and in particular to a horizontal medicinal herb cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] The raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine are generally cultivated. To ensure the quality of the herbs, they undergo processes such as washing, drying, and grinding to achieve their medicinal value. Herbs are typically washed using a washing machine to remove dirt and other impurities from their surface, resulting in clean herbs.

[0003] The relevant technology can be found in Chinese Patent No. CN210754077U, which discloses a high-efficiency horizontal Chinese herbal medicine washing machine. The machine includes a horizontal washing tank with a rotatable screen cylinder arranged horizontally inside. A power mechanism for driving the screen cylinder to rotate is provided on one side of the horizontal washing tank. The screen cylinder includes an upper semi-cylinder and a lower semi-cylinder connected to each other. The upper and lower semi-cylinders are hinged on one side and detachably connected on the other side. A connecting shaft is provided inside the screen cylinder along its axis and is fixedly connected to the two sides of the lower semi-cylinder. A partition is sleeved on the connecting shaft, and the outer diameter of the partition is equal to the inner diameter of the screen cylinder.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when medicinal materials are added into a sieve cylinder, the materials inside the sieve cylinder come into contact with water in the washing machine tank for cleaning. The mud becomes more sticky when it comes into contact with water, and at the end of the cleaning process, some moist mud may still adhere to the medicinal materials, resulting in poor cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve the cleaning effect of medicinal materials, this application provides a horizontal medicinal material washing machine.

[0006] This application provides a horizontal medicine washing machine, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A horizontal washing machine includes a body, which has a drum and a motor for driving the drum to rotate. The drum has several filter holes. Several sets of fixed plates are fixedly connected axially inside the drum. A spray pipe passes through the drum and has several spray holes axially. A movable plate is provided between adjacent fixed plates in each set of fixed plates. A positioning block is fixedly connected to the movable plate. The drum has a groove that is slidably connected to the positioning block. A first spring fixedly connected to the positioning block is fixedly installed in each groove. A positioning cylinder is sleeved on the outer wall of the drum. An arc-shaped opening that cooperates with the drum is opened at the lower end of the positioning cylinder. Several inclined guide blocks that cooperate with the positioning block are provided on the inner wall of the positioning cylinder. The inclined guide blocks are rotatably connected to the positioning cylinder. A second spring is fixedly installed between the inclined guide blocks and the inner wall of the positioning cylinder. A liquid collection tank that cooperates with the positioning cylinder is provided at the lower end of the machine body.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when cleaning medicinal materials, the motor drives the drum to rotate, and the medicinal materials are added into the drum. The medicinal materials tumble inside the drum while being sprayed, and dirt and impurities fall into the collection tank through the filter holes and arc-shaped openings. The medicinal materials are scattered between adjacent fixed and movable plates. As the drum rotates, the positioning block drives the movable plate to slide along the inner wall of the drum. The first spring is compressed, and as the drum continues to rotate, the second spring is stretched. Finally, the inclined guide block separates from the positioning block, causing the movable plate to rotate slightly along the radial direction of the drum before moving back to its initial position. This friction and rubbing action removes the wet dirt adhering to the medicinal materials, improving the cleaning effect.

[0009] Optionally, the two ends of the roller are rotatably connected to the machine body, the motor is fixed on the outer wall of the machine body, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a first gear, and the outer wall of the roller is fixedly connected to a second gear that meshes with the first gear.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the motor output shaft drives the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the drum to rotate, making it relatively convenient to achieve drum rotation.

[0011] Optionally, the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to a rotating rod, and the rotating rod is fixedly connected axially to a plurality of brushes that abut against the roller.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the brush washes the outer wall of the drum, which facilitates the cleaning of dirt and impurities adhering to the outer wall of the drum and helps to speed up the cleaning efficiency of medicinal materials.

[0013] Optionally, the machine body is fixedly connected to a positioning rod through which the roller passes, and the positioning rod is fixedly connected to several flexible levers along the axial direction.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drum rotates, the soft lever turns the medicinal materials over, which facilitates faster cleaning of the medicinal materials.

[0015] Optionally, the inner wall of the drum is fixedly connected with several inclined blades along the axial direction.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined blades facilitate the movement of medicinal materials inside the drum, ensuring that the medicinal materials can move towards the discharge end of the drum.

[0017] Optionally, the positioning block is fixedly connected to both sides with arc-shaped blocks, and the roller is provided with arc-shaped grooves that cooperate with the arc-shaped blocks.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped block can easily limit the movement of the movable piece, which helps to improve the stability of the movable piece during movement.

[0019] Optionally, a filter plate is slidably connected inside the liquid collection tank, and limit blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the filter plate. The liquid collection tank is provided with a vertical groove that cooperates with the limit blocks.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the filter plate can easily collect broken and small medicinal materials, reducing the waste of medicinal materials.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. During the cleaning of medicinal herbs, the motor drives the drum to rotate. The herbs are added to the drum, where they tumble and are sprayed simultaneously. Dirt and impurities fall into the collection tank through the filter holes and arc-shaped openings. The herbs are scattered between adjacent fixed and movable plates. As the drum rotates, the positioning block causes the movable plate to slide along the inner wall of the drum. The first spring is compressed, and as the drum continues to rotate, the second spring is stretched. Finally, the inclined guide block separates from the positioning block, causing the movable plate to rotate slightly radially along the drum before moving back to its initial position. This friction and rubbing action removes the wet dirt adhering to the herbs, improving the cleaning effect.

[0023] 2. The motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the brush scrubs the outer wall of the drum, which facilitates the removal of dirt and impurities adhering to the outer wall of the drum and helps to speed up the cleaning efficiency of the medicinal materials. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This application discloses a horizontal medicine washing machine.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A horizontal medicine washing machine includes a body 1, a drum 2, and a motor 3 that drives the drum 2 to rotate. Both ends of the drum 2 are rotatably connected to the body 1. The motor 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the body 1 and located below the drum 2. A first gear 31 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 3. When the operator starts the motor 3, the output shaft rotates, driving the first gear 31 to rotate. A second gear 25, which meshes with the first gear 31, is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drum 2, thereby driving the drum 2 to rotate. Simultaneously, the body 1 limits the movement of the drum 2, making its rotation relatively convenient.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When cleaning medicinal materials, the materials are added into the drum 2. A spray pipe 4 is installed inside the drum 2 and connected to an external water tank. The spray pipe 4 has several spray holes 41 along its axial direction. Water flows through the spray pipe 4 and sprays out from the spray holes 41. The medicinal materials inside the drum 2 are tumbled and sprayed at the same time, washing away dirt and other impurities from the surface of the medicinal materials. The drum 2 has multiple filter holes 21. A positioning cylinder 5 is fitted on the outer wall of the drum 2. The length of the drum 2 is greater than the length of the positioning cylinder 5. The lower end of the positioning cylinder 5 has an arc-shaped opening 51 that matches the drum 2. The positioning cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the machine body 1. The lower end of the machine body 1 has a liquid collection tank 6 that matches the positioning cylinder 5. Dirt and impurities fall into the liquid collection tank 6 through the filter holes 21 and the arc-shaped opening 51.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4Inside the roller 2, several sets of fixed plates 22 are fixedly connected axially. A movable plate 23 is installed between adjacent fixed plates 22 in each set. The movable plate 23 is parallel to the fixed plates 22, and the medicinal materials are distributed between adjacent fixed plates 22 and movable plates 23. A positioning block 231 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 23. The roller 2 has a sliding groove 24 that is slidably connected to the positioning block 231. A first spring 241, fixedly connected to the positioning block 231, is fixedly installed in each groove 24. The inner wall of the positioning cylinder 5 has several inclined guide blocks 52 that cooperate with the positioning block 231. When the roller 2 rotates until the positioning block 231 contacts the inclined guide block 52, the roller 2 continues to rotate. The positioning block 231 drives the movable plate 23 to slide along the inner wall of the roller 2, at which point the first spring 241 is compressed.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The positioning block 231 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the arc block 232. The roller 2 has an arc groove that matches the arc block 232. The arc groove is connected to the slide groove 24. When the movable piece 23 moves, the arc block 232 slides in the arc groove. The arc block 232 can limit the movable piece 23 and improve the stability of the movable piece 23 when it moves.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The inclined guide block 52 is rotatably connected to the positioning cylinder 5. A second spring 521 is fixed between the inclined guide block 52 and the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 5. As the roller 2 continues to rotate, the second spring 521 is stretched, and eventually the inclined guide block 52 separates from the positioning block 231. The first spring 241 and the second spring 521 return to their original positions under the action of the rebound force. During this process, the movable plate 23 rotates slightly along the radial direction of the roller 2 and then moves back to its initial position, thereby rubbing and washing the medicinal materials between the fixed plate 22 and the movable plate 23. At the same time, the medicinal materials are moved to remove the wet dirt adhering to them, thus improving the cleaning effect of the medicinal materials.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 The machine body 1 is fixedly connected to a positioning rod 11 that passes through a roller 2. Multiple flexible levers 111 are fixedly connected to the positioning rod 11 along the axial direction. When the roller 2 rotates, the flexible levers 111 on the positioning rod 11 contact the medicinal materials inside the roller 2, causing them to turn over and accelerating the cleaning process. Multiple inclined blades 26 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the roller 2 along the axial direction. These inclined blades 26 facilitate the movement of the medicinal materials within the roller 2, ensuring that the materials move towards the discharge end of the roller 2.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The output shaft of motor 3 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 32. The rotation of the output shaft of motor 3 drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate. The end of the rotating rod 32 away from motor 3 is rotatably connected to the machine body 1. Several brushes 321 that abut against the drum 2 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 32 along the axial direction. The brushes 321 on the rotating rod 32 brush the outer wall of the drum 2, clean the dirt and impurities adhering to the outer wall of the drum 2, and at the same time clear the impurities that are blocked in the filter holes 21, so as to ensure that the dirt and impurities fall quickly from the drum 2 and speed up the cleaning efficiency of the medicinal materials.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 A filter plate 61 is slidably connected inside the collection tank 6. When rinsing medicinal materials, some roots may break off. The filter plate 61 facilitates the collection of broken small medicinal materials, reducing waste. Limiting blocks 611 are fixedly connected to both ends of the filter plate 61. The collection tank 6 has vertical grooves that cooperate with the limiting blocks 611. Operators can remove the filter plate 61 from the collection tank 6 for easy removal and cleaning.

[0041] The implementation principle of a horizontal medicine washing machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When washing medicinal materials, the medicinal materials are added into the drum 2. Water flows through the spray pipe 4 and sprays out from the spray hole 41. The medicinal materials in the drum 2 tumble and are sprayed at the same time, washing away the dirt and other impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials. The dirt and impurities fall into the collection tank 6 through the filter hole 21 and the arc-shaped opening 51. The medicinal materials will be scattered between the adjacent fixed plate 22 and movable plate 23. The drum 2 rotates until the positioning block 231 contacts the inclined guide block 52. The drum 2 continues to rotate, and the positioning block 231 drives the movable plate 23 to slide along the inner wall of the drum 2. At this time, the first spring 241 is compressed. As the drum 2 continues to rotate, the second spring 521 is stretched. Finally, the inclined guide block 52 separates from the positioning block 231, and the first spring 241 and the second spring 521 return to their original positions under the action of the rebound force. During this process, the movable piece 23 rotates slightly along the radial direction of the roller 2 and then moves back to the initial position, thereby rubbing and washing the medicinal materials between the fixed piece 22 and the movable piece 23. At the same time, the medicinal materials are moved to wash off the wet dirt adhering to the medicinal materials, thus improving the cleaning effect of the medicinal materials.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
