Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to the processing of Chinese herbal medicine pieces, and in particular to an intelligent preparation device for Chinese herbal medicine pieces. Background Art

[0002] Chinese herbal medicine slices are Chinese herbal medicines that have been processed and prepared according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the processing methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and can be directly used in clinical Chinese medicine. Chinese herbal medicine slices include some slices of Chinese herbal medicines processed at the place of origin, original herbal medicine slices, and slices that have been cut and processed. The processing of Chinese herbal medicine slices is divided into water processing, fire processing, and water and fire processing. Different Chinese herbal medicines require different processing methods in the processing process. Regardless of whether it is water processing or fire processing, the Chinese herbal medicines need to be soaked, washed and drained, which is conducive to removing or reducing the toxic side effects or impurities of the Chinese herbal medicines themselves (such as: removing the skin, heart, and core of some plant medicines, removing the mud and sand from mineral medicines, and removing the head, feet, and wings of animal medicines).

[0003] For example, in the patent application entitled "A Processing Method for Chinese Herbal Medicine Pieces" with application publication number CN109966257A, the processing steps include: (1) cleaning and soaking: cutting the Chinese herbal medicine raw materials into 2-4 cm segments, ultrasonically cleaning the segments in distilled water for 15-30 minutes, and then soaking the cleaned segments in a strong oxidizing soaking solution for 30 minutes to 2 hours; (2) steaming; (3) fumigation; (4) ultrafine grinding; and (5) pressing and forming.

[0004] Another example is a patent application with application publication number CN116920000A, entitled "A Processing Process for Chinese Herbal Medicine Pieces", which includes the following steps: S1, removing impurities, non-medicinal parts and moldy medicinal materials from Chinese medicines; S2, removing roots from Chinese medicines, and then weighing the Chinese medicines; S3, soaking and cleaning the Chinese medicines in a cleaning device, and finally draining the Chinese medicines; S4, placing the drained Chinese medicines in a cooking device for cooking, and then taking them out for cooling; S5, slicing the cooled Chinese medicines using a cutting device, and then placing them in a drying device for drying; S6, grinding and sieving the dried Chinese medicine pieces;

[0005] S7, adding the aqueous composition of the powdered Chinese medicine, the binder and water into a tablet press to form tablets.

[0006] In the existing process of Chinese herbal medicines, the equipment for each process of medicinal materials is independent. Operators often need to go back and forth to take the medicinal materials, and the soaking and cleaning operations are all done manually. The medicinal materials that sink to the bottom of the cleaning device are often not cleaned properly and need to be cleaned multiple times. After cleaning, the Chinese herbal medicines need to be manually taken out of the device and then drained. In the process of taking the Chinese herbal medicines, the staff need to take the Chinese herbal medicines in the device back and forth multiple times, and the Chinese herbal medicines located at the bottom of the device may need to be taken with the help of tools. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and manual operation will cause the quality of Chinese herbal medicines to be uneven, affecting the quality and efficiency of the preparation of Chinese herbal medicines, so it needs to be improved.

[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.13 The present invention is further described in detail.

[0041] The embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent preparation device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, comprising a device body 1, on which a cleaning mechanism 2, a heating mechanism 10, a cutting mechanism 11 and a screening mechanism 12 are sequentially arranged, the cleaning mechanism 2 comprising a cleaning box 20 arranged on the device body 1, an upper cleaning chamber 220 and a lower cleaning chamber 221 are arranged in the cleaning box 20, an upper cleaning component 3 for cleaning medicinal materials floating on the water surface is arranged in the upper cleaning chamber 220, a component for cleaning medicinal materials sunk to the bottom of the water is arranged in the lower cleaning chamber 221, and an output structure for outputting the cleaned medicinal materials is arranged at the bottom of the cleaning chamber; the heating mechanism 10 comprises a heater 101 arranged on the device body 1, and a heating chamber for heating medicinal materials is arranged in the heater 101; the cutting mechanism 11 is arranged on the device body 1, and is used to cut the medicinal materials into required slices or blocks; the screening mechanism 12 is arranged on the device body 1, and is used to screen the medicinal materials.

[0042] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 2 is used to soak and clean the Chinese medicine. The cleaned Chinese medicine can be transported to the heating mechanism 10 for heating and steaming. The heating mechanism 10 includes a heater 101. The heater 101 is provided with a heating chamber. A medicinal material placement plate is arranged across the heating chamber. A heating element is arranged in the heating chamber. The heating element is located directly below the heating plate. During use, the medicinal materials to be heated are placed on the heating plate. The medicinal materials on the heating plate are heated and steamed by the heating element. The heating and steaming method can be steam heating, electric heating, etc. in the prior art. It will not be repeated. After the heating and steaming is completed, the medicinal materials are taken out. The cutting mechanism 11 is used to cut the medicinal materials, so that the medicinal materials are cut into the required sheets or blocks. The screening mechanism 12 is used to screen the cut medicinal materials to screen the medicinal materials that meet the specifications. The medicinal material cutting and screening are prior arts and will not be repeated.

[0043] In this embodiment, the device body 1 is sequentially provided with a cleaning mechanism 2, a heating mechanism 10, a cutting mechanism 11 and a screening mechanism 12, which can provide medicinal material cleaning operations, medicinal material heating and boiling operations, medicinal material cutting operations and medicinal material screening operations for the Chinese herbal medicine preparation process. However, it should be noted that, with the differences in medicinal material raw materials and the differences in the preparation processes of Chinese herbal medicine pieces, during use, not all Chinese herbal medicine preparations require the use of the cleaning mechanism 2, the heating mechanism 10, the cutting mechanism 11 and the screening mechanism 12. For example, the preparation of a certain Chinese herbal medicine piece does not require a cutting operation, so the cutting mechanism 11 is not required. At the same time, in addition to medicinal material cleaning, medicinal material heating and boiling, medicinal material cutting and medicinal material screening, some Chinese herbal medicine pieces have other operating procedures during the preparation process, which need to be performed on other corresponding equipment, such as crushing and pressing the medicinal materials, which need to be performed on other equipment.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 2 includes a cleaning box 20, a cleaning chamber 22 is arranged inside the cleaning box 20, a medicine inlet 21 is arranged on the top of one side of the cleaning box 20, and the medicinal materials can be transported to the inside of the cleaning chamber 22 through the medicine inlet 21. An upper cleaning component 3 and a lower cleaning component 4 are arranged in the cleaning chamber 22. For the convenience of description, the inside of the cleaning chamber 22 is divided into an upper cleaning chamber 220 and a lower cleaning chamber 221. ， The upper cleaning chamber 220 and the lower cleaning chamber 221 are interconnected. The upper cleaning component 3 is arranged in the upper cleaning chamber 220 for cleaning medicinal materials floating on the water surface. The lower cleaning component 4 is arranged in the lower cleaning chamber 221 for cleaning medicinal materials sunk to the bottom of the water. The output structure is a medicine outlet 23 at the bottom of the cleaning box 20, and the cleaned medicinal materials can be output through the medicine outlet 23.

[0045] The embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent preparation device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a device body 1, on which a cleaning mechanism 2, a heating mechanism 10, a cutting mechanism 11 and a screening mechanism 12 are sequentially arranged, so that the Chinese herbal medicine slice preparation process can provide a medicinal material cleaning operation, a medicinal material heating and steaming operation, a medicinal material cutting operation and a medicinal material screening operation, thereby reducing the taking of medicinal materials between synchronous operation processes. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a cleaning box 20 arranged on the device body 1, and an upper cleaning chamber 220 and a lower cleaning chamber 221 are arranged in the cleaning box 20. An upper cleaning component 3 for cleaning medicinal materials floating on the water surface is arranged in the upper cleaning chamber 220, and a medicinal material sinking to the bottom of the water is arranged in the lower cleaning chamber 221. In this way, the medicinal materials are transported to the cleaning box 20, and the medicinal materials floating on the water surface and the medicinal materials sinking to the bottom of the water are cleaned respectively, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The cleaned medicinal materials can be output through the output structure at the bottom of the lower cleaning chamber 221, and do not need to be taken manually.

[0046] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, preferably, the upper cleaning component 3 includes an upper driving component 30 and an upper cleaning plate 31, the upper cleaning plate 31 is arranged at the top of the upper cleaning chamber 220, and a plurality of upper through holes are arranged on the upper cleaning plate 31, and the plurality of upper through holes are arranged in sequence along the upper cleaning plate 31. The upper cleaning plate 31 is connected to the upper driving component 30, and the upper cleaning plate 31 is driven by the upper driving component 30 to move up and down in the upper cleaning chamber 220. The movement range of the upper cleaning plate 31 moving up and down in the upper cleaning chamber 220 includes a highest cleaning position and a lowest cleaning position, wherein the highest cleaning position is higher than the cleaning liquid level, and the lowest cleaning position is lower than the cleaning liquid level.

[0047] When the upper cleaning component 3 cleans the medicinal materials floating on the water surface, the water surface in the upper cleaning chamber 220 is between the highest cleaning position and the lowest cleaning position of the upper cleaning plate 31. When the upper driving component 30 drives the upper cleaning plate 31 downward, the upper cleaning plate 31 presses the medicinal materials floating on the water surface to below the water surface for cleaning until the upper cleaning plate 31 moves to the lowest cleaning position. During this process, the upper through hole can allow water to pass through, and the medicinal materials cannot pass through the upper through hole. Subsequently, driven by the upper driving component 30, the upper cleaning plate 31 moves upward, so that the pressing force of the upper cleaning plate 31 on the medicinal materials disappears, and the medicinal materials move upward to the cleaning water surface. The upper cleaning plate 31 continues to move upward to the highest cleaning position. At this time, there is a certain distance between the upper cleaning plate 31 and the cleaning liquid surface. This cycle is repeated to clean the medicinal materials floating on the water surface.

[0048] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, preferably, the lower cleaning component 4 includes a rotating cleaning barrel 41 and a rotating drive unit 40, the rotating cleaning barrel 41 includes a semicircular mounting cylinder 42, a first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and a second arc-shaped movable plate 44, the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 are rotatably mounted on the mounting cylinder 42, and the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 can enable the rotating cleaning barrel 41 to be opened or closed.

[0049] The rotation driving unit 40 may be a driving motor and a rotation transmission member. A rotation connecting shaft is provided on the first circular end plate 45 or the second circular end plate 46. The rotation driving unit 40 is connected to the rotation connecting shaft through the rotation transmission member. The rotation transmission member may be a gear member or a transmission belt, etc. During use, the rotating cleaning barrel 41 receives the drive of the rotation driving unit 40 and has two positioning positions: a first positioning position and a second positioning position. When the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the first positioning position, the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 are located at the top, and the mounting cylinder 42 is located at the bottom; when the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the second positioning position, the mounting cylinder 42 is located at the top, and the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 are located at the bottom. The rotating cleaning barrel 41 is driven to rotate by the rotation driving unit 40 and has a working positioning position during the rotation process. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0050] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, further, a first circular end plate 45 and a second circular end plate 46 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the mounting cylinder 42, and the mounting cylinder 42 includes an inner plate 420 and an outer plate 421, and the two ends of the inner plate 420 and the outer plate 421 are respectively fixedly connected to the first circular end plate 45 and the second circular end plate 46, and a motion cavity with a semi-circular cross-section is formed between the inner plate 420 and the outer plate 421, and the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 can be rotatably installed in the motion cavity.

[0051] The first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44 rotate in the motion cavity so that the rotary cleaning barrel 41 has a closed state and an open state. When the first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44 are rotated and completely (or partially) stored in the motion cavity, an opening is formed between the first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44, so that the rotary cleaning barrel 41 is opened and the rotary cleaning barrel 41 is in an open state. When the first arc movable plate 43 and the second arc movable plate 44 rotate to a relative abutment position, the sides of the first arc movable plate 43 and the second arc movable plate 44 abut against each other, and the mounting cylinder 42, the first arc movable plate 43 and the second arc movable plate 44 form a closed rotating cleaning barrel 41, so that the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in a closed state. It should be noted that the closed state or open state of the rotating cleaning barrel 41 has nothing to do with the positioning position of the rotating cleaning barrel 41, that is, when the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the first positioning position, the rotating cleaning barrel 41 can be in a closed state or in an open state, and when the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the second positioning position, the rotating cleaning barrel 41 can be in a closed state or in an open state.

[0052] The rotating cleaning barrel 41 is composed of a semicircular mounting cylinder 42, a first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and a second arc-shaped movable plate 44. When the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the first positioning position, the mounting cylinder 42 is the bottom of the rotating cleaning barrel 41. When the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in a closed state and in the second positioning position, the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 are the bottom of the rotating cleaning barrel 41.

[0053] The rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in an open state and a closed state corresponding to different cleaning processes of medicinal materials. The medicinal material cleaning includes the following cleaning processes:

[0054] S1. Soaking operation: The cleaning chamber 22 is filled with a suitable amount of cleaning water or cleaning liquid, and the medicinal materials are transported to the cleaning chamber 22 for soaking. At this time, the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the first positioning position, and the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the open state. The medicinal materials floating on the water surface are soaked in the upper cleaning chamber 220, and the medicinal materials sunk to the bottom of the water are soaked at the bottom of the rotating cleaning barrel 41 (at the bottom of the installation cylinder 42).

[0055] S2, cleaning operation; the first arc movable plate 43 and the second arc movable plate 44 move so that the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in a closed state, and then the upper cleaning plate 31 is driven by the upper driving assembly 30 to move up and down in the upper cleaning chamber 220, so as to clean the medicinal materials floating on the water surface, and the medicinal materials sunk to the bottom of the water are in the rotating cleaning barrel 41, and the medicinal materials sunk to the bottom of the water are cleaned by the rotating cleaning barrel 41.

[0056] S3, drainage operation: First, the first arc movable plate 43 and the second arc movable plate 44 move so that the rotary cleaning barrel 41 is in an open state. At this time, the top of the rotary cleaning barrel 41 is opened, and the rotary cleaning barrel 41 is connected to the upper cleaning chamber 220. Then, the water in the cleaning chamber 22 is drained, and the medicinal materials floating on the water surface fall into the installation cylinder 42. In this way, the medicinal materials floating on the water surface and the medicinal materials sinking to the bottom of the water are all in the installation cylinder 42. Subsequently, the first arc movable plate 43 and the second arc movable plate 44 move so that the rotary cleaning barrel 41 is in a closed state, and the medicinal materials are drained. During this process, the rotary cleaning barrel 41 can be maintained in the second positioning position, and the rotary cleaning barrel 41 can also rotate under the action of the rotary drive unit 40, thereby improving the effect of the drainage operation and shortening the time of the drainage operation.

[0057] S4, output of medicinal materials; the rotary drive unit 40 drives the rotary cleaning barrel 41 to rotate, so that the rotary cleaning barrel 41 is in the second positioning position, and then the first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44 are operated. The first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44 move to open the rotary cleaning barrel 41. At this time, the rotary cleaning barrel 41 is open at the bottom, so that the medicinal materials after the drainage operation can be output from the (opened) medicine outlet 23.

[0058] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, preferably, a plurality of groups of drainage holes 47 are provided on both the first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44, and the plurality of groups of drainage holes 47 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44. Each group of drainage holes 47 has a plurality of drainage holes, and the plurality of drainage holes 47 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the axial direction of the first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44. An intermediate drainage hole 47 is provided on the side of the opposite side of the first curved movable plate 43 and the second curved movable plate 44, and the aperture of the intermediate drainage hole 47 is relatively large.

[0059] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, it is preferred that it also includes an adjusting drive component 5 and a transmission component 6. The first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 are transmission-connected to the adjusting drive component 5 through the transmission component 6, so that the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 are driven to rotate to achieve switching between a closed state and an open state. The adjusting drive component 5 includes an adjusting drive motor 50 and an adjusting drive shaft 51 connected to the adjusting drive motor 50. A mounting base is provided on the first circular end plate 45, and the adjusting drive motor 50 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base. The end of the adjusting drive shaft 51 is connected to a first rotating gear 52, so that the adjusting drive shaft 51 and the first rotating gear 52 form a first driving component.

[0060] A second driving component is also provided on the adjusting drive shaft 51, and the second driving component includes a first bevel gear 53, a second bevel gear 54 and a third bevel gear 55 which are sequentially connected in transmission. The first bevel gear 53 is fixedly mounted on the adjusting drive shaft 51, and the size of the second bevel gear 54 is larger than the first bevel gear 53 and the third bevel gear 55. The second bevel gear 54 is mounted on a mounting base, and a connecting sleeve 56 is provided on the third bevel gear 55.

[0064] An arc-shaped opening groove for installing the connecting sleeve 56 is provided on the first circular end plate 45 and the first arc-shaped mounting plate 48. The arc-shaped opening groove is communicated with the arc-shaped motion cavity 62, so that the first rotating gear 52 and the second rotating gear 57 are also located in the arc-shaped motion cavity 62. The first rotating gear 52 is transmission-connected to the first arc-shaped rack 60, and the second rotating gear 57 is transmission-connected to the second arc-shaped rack 61. The first rotating gear 52 can drive the first arc-shaped rack 60 to move in the arc-shaped motion cavity 62, and the second rotating gear 57 can drive the second arc-shaped rack 61 to move in the arc-shaped motion cavity 62.

[0065] During use, when the adjustment drive motor 50 works to drive the adjustment drive shaft 51 to rotate in the first direction, the first rotating gear 52 rotates in the first direction, and the second rotating gear 57 rotates in the second direction (opposite to the first direction), so that the first arc-shaped rack 60 and the second arc-shaped rack 61 move along the arc-shaped motion cavity 62, and the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 rotate and extend in the motion cavity until the corresponding sides of the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 abut, and the installation cylinder 42, the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 form a closed rotating cleaning barrel 41, so that the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in a closed state.

[0066] On the contrary, when the adjustment drive motor 50 works and drives the adjustment drive shaft 51 to rotate in the second direction, the first rotating gear 52 rotates in the second direction, and the second rotating gear 57 rotates in the first direction (opposite to the second direction), so that the first arc-shaped rack 60 and the second arc-shaped rack 61 move along the arc-shaped motion cavity 62, and the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 are gradually collected into the motion cavity. When the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 are rotated and completely (or partially) collected into the motion cavity, an opening will be formed between the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44, so that the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is opened, and the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in an open state.

[0067] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, preferably, water outlet holes 410 are provided on the first circular end plate 45 and the second circular end plate 46, annular return plates 24 are provided on opposite sides of the lower cleaning chamber 221, and the annular return plates 24 are provided corresponding to the first circular end plate 45 and the second circular end plate 46.

A reflux hole 240 is provided on the annular reflux plate 24, and a reflux channel 241 is provided inside the annular reflux plate 24, the upper end of the reflux channel 241 corresponds to the reflux hole 240, and the lower end of the reflux channel 241 is connected to the bottom of the lower cleaning chamber 221. When the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the first positioning position, the water outlet holes 410 on the first circular end plate 45 and the second circular end plate 46 are misaligned with the reflux hole 240, so that the water outlet holes 410 are closed. When the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the second positioning position, the water outlet holes 410 on the second circular end plate 46 and the second circular end plate 46 just correspond to the reflux hole 240, so that the water outlet holes 410 and the reflux holes 240 are connected correspondingly.

[0068] The advantage of such a configuration is that during the cleaning operation, the rotating cleaning barrel 41 is in the second positioning position, and the upper cleaning plate 31 is driven by the upper driving assembly 30 to move up and down in the upper cleaning chamber 220, so as to clean the medicinal materials floating on the water surface. While the upper cleaning plate 31 cleans the medicinal materials, it will press the water in the upper cleaning chamber 220 downward. Since the mounting cylinder 42 is relatively closed, the water flow passes through the mounting cylinder 42 and is divided into the lower cleaning chambers 221 on both sides of the mounting cylinder 42. After the water flow flows to the lower cleaning chamber 221, the water flow flows from the first arc-shaped movable plate 43 and the second arc-shaped movable plate 44 to the lower cleaning chamber 221. The drain holes 47 on the two arc-shaped movable plates 44 enter the rotating cleaning barrel 41, and the water flows through the drain holes 47 in the rotating cleaning barrel 41 and the lower cleaning chamber 221. At the same time, the water flows from the water outlet holes 410 on both sides of the first circular end plate 45 and the second circular end plate 46 to the reflux holes 240, and then from the reflux holes 240 to the lower cleaning chamber 221, and then flows back from the lower cleaning chamber 221 to the rotating cleaning barrel 41. In this way, a circulating water flow is formed in the rotating cleaning barrel 41, and the circulating water flow can stir the medicinal materials in the rotating cleaning barrel 41, causing the medicinal materials to flip, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0069] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, preferably, a rotary cleaning assembly 7 is further included, which is arranged inside the rotary cleaning barrel 41 and is used to stir the medicinal materials in the rotary cleaning barrel 41, so as to realize cleaning of the medicinal materials in the rotary cleaning barrel 41.

In the folded state, each cleaning and stirring member 72 is folded and attached to the rotating body 71. During the soaking operation, the draining operation, and the medicinal material output operation, the cleaning and stirring members 72 are all in the folded state, so that the medicinal materials can be prevented from being entangled or hung on the cleaning and stirring members 72. In the expanded state, the cleaning and stirring members 72 are all extended. When the cleaning operation is performed, the cleaning and stirring members 72 are in the expanded state, so that the cleaning and stirring members 72 can stir and clean the medicinal materials in the rotating cleaning barrel 41.

[0071] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, further, the cleaning adjustment assembly 8 includes an adjustment screw 80 and a plurality of adjustment components 81, a screw drive unit for driving the adjustment screw 80 to rotate is provided inside the rotating body 71, and the screw drive unit is provided at the end of the rotating body 71, and the adjustment screw 80 can be driven by the driving screw unit, so that the adjustment screw 80 rotates inside the rotating body 71.

[0075] In this way, during use, when the driving screw unit drives the adjusting screw 80, so that the annular moving body 82 moves toward the guide member 84, the annular moving body 82 drives the sliding sleeve 722 through the connecting rod 830, so that the sliding sleeve 722 moves in the direction away from the adjusting screw 80, so that each cleaning rod 721 and the arc-shaped cleaning plate 720 gradually extends out until the sliding sleeve 722 moves to the preset position, and each cleaning rod 721 and the arc-shaped cleaning plate 720 are unfolded to the maximum length. At this time, the cleaning stirring member 72 is in the unfolded state. On the contrary, when the driving screw unit drives the adjusting screw 80 so that the annular moving body 82 moves away from the guide member 84, the annular moving body 82 pulls the sliding sleeve 722 through the connecting rod 830, so that the sliding sleeve 722 moves toward the adjusting screw 80. In this way, each cleaning rod 721 gradually moves toward the inside of the rotating body 71 until the arc-shaped cleaning plate 720 is attached to the rotating body 71. At this time, the cleaning stirring member 72 is in a retracted state.
