Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medicinal material processing, and specifically to a Chinese medicinal material rinsing and filtering device. Background Art

[0002] During the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to perform a rinsing operation on the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine, and after the cleaning is completed, the impurities washed out need to be filtered to ensure that the raw materials are clean enough. Most of the existing Chinese medicinal material rinsing and filtering devices place the medicinal materials in a rinsing cylinder and remove the impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials by continuous stirring. The cleaning effect on some medicinal materials with uneven surfaces is not ideal. During the continuous stirring process, it is easy to break the sheet-shaped medicinal materials. At the same time, it is inconvenient to take out the medicinal materials after rinsing. In order to improve the above-mentioned cleaning method that damages the roots and rhizomes of traditional Chinese medicine, we propose a new type of Chinese medicinal material rinsing and filtering device.

[0018] See Figure 1 , the primary washing box 2 is a container for collecting the water or cleaning agent for washing Chinese herbal medicine rhizomes in this embodiment. A water discharge port 22 is arranged outside the washing box 2; above the primary washing box 2 is a water tank 23. The water tank 23 can be a closed water tank or an open-top water tank at the upper end, and its material is enamel or steel.

[0019] Continue to see Figure 1 , the feeding mechanism 20 includes a transmission shaft 201 and a feeding conveyor belt 202. The transmission shaft 201 drives the feeding conveyor belt 202 to move through power. The Chinese herbal medicine rhizomes to be washed are located on the feeding conveyor belt 202. Among them, the feeding device 20 penetrates through the primary washing box 2, and the feeding end and the discharging end of the feeding device 20 are respectively located outside the washing box 2.

[0020] The feeding device 20 is passed through the primary washing tank 2, and the feeding end and the discharging end of the feeding device 20 are respectively located outside the primary washing tank 2. In this way, the independence of the feeding mechanism 20 and the primary washing tank 2 is realized; when the primary washing tank 2 is open at the upper end, it can more reflect that the material conveying is completed outside the primary washing tank 2, and the closed primary washing tank 2 can also be operated as long as the cleaning process is carried out in the primary washing tank 2.

[0021] The cleaning mechanism is used to clean the Chinese medicine rhizomes to be washed above the feeding conveyor belt 202.

[0022] Continue to see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The rinsing chamber 4 and the feeding mechanism 20 are connected through a feeding channel 3. A rotating cylinder 45 is arranged in the rinsing chamber 4. A driving motor I 41 is installed outside the rinsing chamber 4. The output shaft of the driving motor I 41 is connected to a gear disk 42. A rotating ring 44 is arranged at the top of the rinsing chamber 4. Tooth teeth 43 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 44. The gear disk 42 and the tooth teeth 43 are in meshing transmission; the rotating cylinder 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ring 44. The outer wall of the rotating cylinder 45 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rinsing chamber 4. A cloth strip 46 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 45. There are a plurality of the cloth strips 46, and they are arranged in an annular equidistant array around the center point of the rotating cylinder 45; a discharge door 47 is arranged on one side of the bottom of the rinsing chamber 4. A sprayer 410 is installed on the opposite side of the discharge door 47.

[0023] The filter box 5 is installed outside the discharge door 47. A filter cylinder 51 driven by a driving motor II 53 is arranged in the filter box 5. A plurality of filter holes are arranged on the outer wall of the filter cylinder 51; the filter cylinder 51 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter box 5; a blanking channel 52 is arranged at the bottom of the filter box 5. The outlet of the blanking channel 52 is communicated with the collection chamber 54.

[0024] Specifically, the rinsing and filtering device further includes a feed hopper 1, which is used to send the Chinese medicine rhizomes to be cleaned onto the feeding conveyor belt 202. The raw materials of Chinese medicine harvesting are sent onto the conveyor belt 202 through the feed hopper 1. At this time, the cleaning mechanism works to initially rinse the Chinese medicine rhizomes on the conveyor belt 202. After the initial rinsing, they are put into the rinsing chamber 4 through the feed channel 3. The driving motor I 41 is started to drive the gear disk 42 to engage with the teeth 43; the rotating ring 44 rotates, and the rotating cylinder 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ring 44. The outer wall of the rotating cylinder 45 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rinsing chamber 4; thus, the rotating cylinder 45 rotates, and multiple cloth strips 46 arranged annularly and equidistantly around the center point of the rotating cylinder 45 scrub the Chinese medicine rhizomes. After being scrubbed clean, they fall to the bottom of the rinsing chamber 4. Then, a sprayer 410 is installed on the opposite side of the discharge door 47. The sprayer 410 flushes the washed rhizomes to the discharge door 47 for discharging. The rhizomes after the initial cleaning are put into the rinsing chamber. Then, the rotation of the rotating cylinder drives the cloth strips to clean the medicinal materials. The use of cloth strips can effectively avoid the problem of the medicinal materials being crushed due to the stirring inclination. At the bottom of the rinsing chamber, the final rinsing is carried out by water spraying, avoiding the trouble of manual cleaning. The dirty water inside the rinsing chamber is discharged through the water outlet pipe to complete the fine cleaning of the Chinese medicine rhizomes. The whole process is integrated, saving costs and avoiding the problem of the medicinal materials being crushed due to the stirring inclination of the existing cleaning machinery.

[0025] There are broken parts and the size does not meet the requirements for the clean rhizomes discharged from the discharge door 47, and filtering and screening are required. At this time, the filter box 5 is started, and the clean rhizomes discharged from the discharge door 47 fall into the filter cylinder 51. The driving motor II 53 drives the rotation inside the filter cylinder 51; a plurality of filter holes are provided on the outer wall of the filter cylinder 51; the filter cylinder 51 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter box 5; a blanking channel 52 is provided at the bottom of the filter box 5, and the outlet of the blanking channel 52 communicates with the collection chamber 54. The broken parts of the rhizomes and the rhizomes whose size does not meet the requirements are filtered out through the filter holes and conveyed into the collection chamber 54 through the blanking channel 52.
