Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Chinese medicinal herb cleaning technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency Chinese medicinal herb cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese medicinal herbs, such as Polygonatum sibiricum, Pueraria lobata, and Panax notoginseng, typically require processing such as washing and drying after being harvested from the ground. Currently, when washing Chinese medicinal herbs, they are usually placed in a drum-type washing machine.

[0003] Existing drum-type washing machines adopt a working mode of washing and discharging simultaneously, which has high washing efficiency. The inside of the washing machine drum has a spiral baffle, and the outer wall of the spiral baffle is equipped with bristles. When the drum rotates, the spray pipe inside sprays water downwards to wash the medicinal materials. At the same time, the medicinal materials also move downwards along the spiral path and eventually move out of the drum. During this process, the brushes will contact the surface of the medicinal materials and brush off the soil.

[0004] In practice, when using a drum-type cleaning machine to clean medicinal materials, the dirt on the materials is often not cleaned thoroughly enough, resulting in poor cleaning effect. Therefore, this application provides a high-efficiency cleaning device for Chinese medicinal materials to meet the needs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a high-efficiency cleaning device for Chinese medicinal materials, which solves the technical problem of poor cleaning effect of existing drum-type cleaning machines on medicinal materials.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency cleaning device for Chinese medicinal materials, comprising a cleaning drum rotatably mounted on a water storage tank via a first bearing and a second bearing, the cleaning drum being inclined and having leak holes sealed on its surface, a drive gear ring being provided on the outer wall of the cleaning drum, and the drive gear ring being meshed with the output shaft of a drive motor provided on the outer wall of the water storage tank, a spray pipe being provided through the inner cavity of the cleaning drum, and the spray pipe being connected to a water pump provided on the outer wall of the cleaning drum and connected to the spray pipe, a filter screen being provided in the inner cavity of the water storage tank, a spiral baffle being provided on the inner wall of the cleaning drum, and a brush being provided on the outer wall of the spiral baffle, and further comprising a drive mechanism for driving the brush to move in a spiral path relative to the spiral baffle.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the driving mechanism includes a rotating shaft with a driving gear and a connecting gear at each end, and a toothed belt movably mounted on the spiral baffle.

[0008] The toothed belt is sleeved on the spiral baffle, and the brush is densely distributed on the outer wall of the toothed belt;

[0009] The drive gear meshes with the toothed belt, the connecting gear meshes with the drive gear, the drive gear is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the second bearing, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the spiral baffle.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the spiral baffle includes two mounting plates arranged vertically and vertically, connected by a connecting post. Each of the two mounting plates has an inner limiting ring and an outer limiting ring with an O-shaped structure at its opposite ends, and an O-shaped limiting gap is formed between the inner limiting ring and the outer limiting ring.

[0011] The toothed belt is provided with limiting protrusions at both the upper and lower ends that are adapted to the limiting gap.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the driving gear includes a second arc-shaped toothed plate and a first arc-shaped toothed plate arranged vertically. The second arc-shaped toothed plate and the first arc-shaped toothed plate can be spliced ​​together to form a circular toothed plate. Both the second arc-shaped toothed plate and the first arc-shaped toothed plate are fixed on the outer ring of the second bearing. The second arc-shaped toothed plate meshes with the connecting gear and is located on the right side of the connecting gear, while the first arc-shaped toothed plate is located on the left side of the connecting gear.

[0013] When the connecting gear meshes with the second arc-shaped toothed plate, the direction of movement of the brush is opposite to the direction of movement of the medicinal material;

[0014] When the connecting gear meshes with the first arc-shaped toothed plate, the direction of movement of the brush is the same as the direction of movement of the medicinal material.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the ratio of the arc length of the second arc-shaped toothed plate to the arc length of the first arc-shaped toothed plate is 3:2.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the driving gear is a circular toothed ring, which meshes with the connecting gear. During operation, the direction of motion of the brush is opposite to the direction of motion of the medicinal material.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a vibrator is provided on the filter screen.

[0018] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0019] The invention has a reasonable structure. The brush can move in opposite directions relative to the spiral baffle, which is beneficial for dispersing the medicinal materials in the cleaning drum and also improves the cleaning effect of the medicinal materials. Movement in one direction is less effective in dispersing and cleaning the medicinal materials.

[0020] In this invention, the ratio of the arc length of the second arc-shaped toothed plate to the arc length of the first arc-shaped toothed plate is 3:2. Under this ratio, the medicinal materials have a very good cleaning effect while the cleaning time is greatly shortened. Compared with the original drum-type cleaning machine, the cleaning effect is improved while the cleaning efficiency is also improved. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example: Reference Figure 1 The device for efficient cleaning of Chinese medicinal herbs includes a cleaning roller 4 rotatably mounted on a water storage tank 1 via a first bearing 10 and a second bearing 11. The cleaning roller 4 is inclined and has leak holes sealed on its surface. A drive gear ring 6 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning roller 4, and the drive gear ring 6 is meshed with the output shaft of a drive motor 7 provided on the outer wall of the water storage tank 1. A spray pipe 5 is provided through the inner cavity of the cleaning roller 4, and the spray pipe 5 is connected to a water pump 3 provided on the outer wall of the cleaning roller 4. A filter screen 2 is provided in the inner cavity of the water storage tank 1. A spiral baffle 8 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning roller 4, and a brush 9 is provided on the outer wall of the spiral baffle 8. The device is characterized by further including a drive mechanism for driving the brush 9 to move in a spiral path relative to the spiral baffle 8.

[0031] The brushes 9 on the original drum-type washing machine cannot move relative to the spiral baffle 8, while the brushes 9 in this document can move relative to the spiral baffle 8, thereby improving the washing effect on Chinese medicinal materials.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 1-4 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a rotating shaft 87 with a drive gear 88 and a connecting gear 86 at both ends, and a toothed belt 82 movably mounted on a spiral baffle 8.

[0033] The toothed belt 82 is fitted onto the spiral baffle 8, and the brushes 9 are densely distributed on the outer wall of the toothed belt 82;

[0034] The drive gear 88 meshes with the toothed belt 82, the connecting gear 86 meshes with the drive gear, the drive gear is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the second bearing 11, and the rotating shaft 87 is rotatably connected to the spiral baffle 8.

[0035] When in use, when the drive motor 7 drives the cleaning drum 4 to rotate, the connecting gear 87 meshes with the drive gear, and the drive gear is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the second bearing 11 and cannot move. This causes the connecting gear 87 to form a ring on the drive gear, that is, the connecting gear 87 drives the rotating shaft 87 to rotate. The rotating shaft 87 can drive the toothed belt 82 to move relative to the spiral baffle 8 through the drive gear 88. This causes the brush to form a relatively intense friction with the surface of the medicinal materials, which is beneficial for brushing off the soil and also for dispersing the piles of medicinal materials (which is beneficial for improving the overall cleaning effect of the medicinal materials in the subsequent process).

[0036] It should be noted that when the cleaning drum 4 rotates, its spray pipe 5 remains in a fixed position and does not move.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 4 As shown, the spiral baffle 8 includes two mounting plates 81 arranged vertically. The two mounting plates 81 are connected by a connecting post 84. Each of the two mounting plates 81 has an inner limiting ring 85 and an outer limiting ring 83 with an O-shaped structure on its opposite ends. An O-shaped limiting gap is formed between the inner limiting ring 85 and the outer limiting ring 83.

[0038] The upper and lower ends of the toothed belt 82 are provided with limiting protrusions that are adapted to the limiting gap.

[0039] The purpose of setting the inner limit ring 85, the outer limit ring 83, and the limit protrusion is to ensure the stable operation of the toothed belt 82 and to prevent the toothed belt 82 from detaching from the spiral baffle 8 during operation.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 5 As shown, the driving gear includes a second arc-shaped toothed plate 13 and a first arc-shaped toothed plate 12 arranged vertically. The second arc-shaped toothed plate 13 and the first arc-shaped toothed plate 12 can be spliced ​​into a circular toothed plate. The second arc-shaped toothed plate 13 and the first arc-shaped toothed plate 12 are both fixed on the outer ring of the second bearing 11. The second arc-shaped toothed plate 13 meshes with the connecting gear 86 and is located on the right side of the connecting gear 86. The first arc-shaped toothed plate 12 is located on the left side of the connecting gear 86.

[0041] When the connecting gear 86 engages with the second arc-shaped toothed plate 13, the direction of movement of the brush 9 is opposite to the direction of movement of the medicinal material.

[0042] When the connecting gear 86 engages with the first arc-shaped toothed plate 12, the direction of movement of the brush 9 is the same as the direction of movement of the medicinal material.

[0043] When the cleaning drum 4 drives the spiral baffle 8 to rotate, its connecting gear 86 first moves along its path on the second arc-shaped toothed plate 13, causing the movement direction of the brush 9 to be opposite to the movement direction of the medicinal materials (the toothed belt 82 moves in the opposite direction to the movement direction of the medicinal materials, which can generate relatively large frictional force, which helps to remove stains and impurities from the surface of the medicinal materials, but increases the cleaning time of the medicinal materials). After the connecting gear 86 disengages from the second arc-shaped toothed plate 13, its connecting toothed ring 86 engages with the first arc-shaped toothed plate 12. At this time, the movement direction of the brush 9 is the same as the movement direction of the medicinal materials (the same direction helps to disperse and remove stains that are not completely removed in the forward movement to a certain extent, and also promotes the movement of the medicinal materials, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the medicinal materials). Through the alternating forward and reverse movement of the brush, it is beneficial to disperse the medicinal materials in the cleaning drum 4 and improve the cleaning effect of the medicinal materials. Movement in a single direction has a poor effect on the dispersion and cleaning of the medicinal materials.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 5 As shown, the ratio of the arc length of the second arc-shaped toothed plate 13 to that of the first arc-shaped toothed plate 12 is 3:2.

[0045] At this ratio, the cleaning effect on medicinal materials is excellent, while the cleaning time is greatly shortened. Compared with the original drum-type cleaning machine, the cleaning effect is improved and the cleaning efficiency is also increased.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the driving gear is a circular toothed ring, which meshes with the connecting gear 86. During operation, the movement direction of the brush 9 is opposite to that of the medicinal material.

[0047] When the driving tooth is a toothed ring, the movement direction of the brush 9 is opposite to the movement direction of the medicinal material, and the toothed belt 82 is opposite to the movement direction of the medicinal material. This can generate a relatively large friction force, which helps to remove stains and impurities from the surface of the medicinal material, but it will increase the cleaning time of the medicinal material.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, not shown in the figure, a vibrator is provided on the filter screen 2.

[0049] The vibration of the vibrator helps to improve the filtration effect of filter screen 2.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
