Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically to an integrated multi-stage cleaning unit for white-backed Panax notoginseng sections. Background Technology

[0002] White-backed Panax notoginseng, also known as white-seed vegetable, is a plant with both edible and medicinal value, widely used in health preservation and medicine. It is rich in various beneficial components, such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, and alkaloids, and has effects such as lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, and anti-oxidation. With increasing attention to health and wellness, the market demand for white-backed Panax notoginseng-related products is growing, prompting the continuous development of the white-backed Panax notoginseng processing industry. In the processing of white-backed Panax notoginseng, cleaning is a crucial initial step, directly affecting the quality and safety of subsequent products.

[0003] Some equipment uses a stirring device in a water tank, where the stirring blades drive the water flow to wash the white-backed Panax notoginseng. However, this equipment has significant drawbacks. On the one hand, during the stirring process, the white-backed Panax notoginseng collides and rubs against each other, easily causing damage to the outer skin, resulting in the loss of active ingredients and reducing the appearance quality of the medicinal material, thus affecting the market value of the product. On the other hand, the stirring water flow has difficulty reaching the complex segmented structure and stubborn dirt in the crevices and folds of the surface of white-backed Panax notoginseng, resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0004] In the prior art, for example, the patent with publication number "CN119909973A" discloses an integrated device for filtering, cleaning and slicing traditional Chinese medicine. The beneficial effect is that the support rod drives the stirring shaft to rotate synchronously. When the stirring shaft rotates, the stirring blades can be used to stir and mix the traditional Chinese medicine and the cleaning solution, thereby further improving the cleaning efficiency of the traditional Chinese medicine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems in existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated multi-stage cleaning unit for white-backed Panax notoginseng sections. Specifically, this unit solves the problem of existing stirring processes causing collisions and friction between the Panax notoginseng sections, which easily damages the outer skin, leading to the loss of active ingredients and reducing the appearance quality of the medicinal material, thus affecting its market value. Furthermore, it addresses the issue of stubborn dirt in the complex segmented structure and crevices of white-backed Panax notoginseng.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: an integrated white-backed three-seven section multi-stage cleaning unit, including a frame and a water spraying assembly installed on the top of the frame. The frame is equipped with a conveying drive mechanism, which includes chains arranged on both sides inside the frame. The inner ends of the chains are meshed with two sprockets. A cleaning assembly for loading the object to be cleaned is provided on the conveying drive mechanism. U-shaped retaining links are fixedly installed at adjacent links on the chain, and a limit strip is fixedly connected to the top of each U-shaped retaining link. A limit block is installed on the upper end of the inner side wall of each limit strip. The cleaning assembly includes a support frame located between the limiting strips. A sealing plate is installed on the inner frame of the support frame. Multiple sets of support frames with stepped diameters at both ends are embedded in the walls of the sealing plate. Multiple sets of sliding grooves are provided on the inner walls of the two inner frames of the support frame. Lifting rods with Z-shaped cross-sections are slidably connected to the inner walls of the sliding grooves. Multiple sets of connecting rods are provided between the lifting rods. Telescopic rods are fixedly connected between the lifting rods and the top of the inner end of the sliding groove. Return springs distributed between the sliding grooves and the lifting rods are sleeved on the outer ends of the telescopic rods. Several contact blocks are fixedly connected to the walls of two adjacent connecting rods. A sleeve plate is fixedly connected to the top of each contact block. A cleaning sponge is inserted through the wall of the sleeve plate.

[0007] Specifically, a soaking tank is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame near the chain, and support legs are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the frame.

[0008] Specifically, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frame, and a drive rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the drive rod connects two sprockets respectively.

[0009] Specifically, several rotating rods are rotatably connected between two adjacent chain links via bearings. One end of each rotating rod is fixedly connected to a transmission gear on the outside of the chain. The transmission gear meshes with a rack plate installed on the inner side wall of the frame. A double-headed cam is fixedly installed on the rod wall between two chains.

[0010] Specifically, the contact blocks are all set at a stepped height, and the contact blocks all abut against the double-headed cam.

[0011] Specifically, the limiting block and the sleeve are made of either rubber or silicone.

[0012] Specifically, the bottom end of the frame, located at the lower end of the chain, is inclined.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The integrated multi-stage cleaning unit for white-backed Panax notoginseng sections described in this invention uses a chain to move the carrying frame. The rotating gear meshes with the rack plate, driving a double-headed cam to rotate. This pushes the contact block, causing the carrying frame to vibrate at high frequency, shaking off dirt and dust from the surface of the white-backed Panax notoginseng sections, achieving initial cleaning. Then, a water spray component wets and expands the cleaning sponge. The cam drives the contact block, causing the sponge to move up and down reciprocally, closely adhering to the surface of the medicinal material and penetrating deep into the crevices of the segmented structure to scrub away stubborn dirt. Finally, when the carrying frame rotates with the chain to the edge of the sprocket, it automatically tilts and falls into the soaking tank, where the cleaning solution provides a second soaking and cleaning, enhancing the cleaning effect. This invention, through a multi-stage cleaning mode of "vibration pre-cleaning - sponge brushing - soaking re-washing" and an automated conveying system, systematically solves the problems of incomplete cleaning, easy damage to medicinal materials, and low efficiency in traditional cleaning methods.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides the following technical solution: Example 1: An integrated white-backed 37-section multi-stage cleaning unit includes a frame 1 and a water spray assembly 11 installed at the top of the frame 1. A conveying drive mechanism 2 is provided inside the frame 1. A cleaning assembly 3 loaded with the object to be cleaned is provided on the conveying drive mechanism 2. The conveying drive mechanism 2 includes chains 21 arranged on both sides inside the frame 1. Two sprockets 22 are meshed and connected to the inner ends of the chains 21. A drive motor 23 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frame 1. A drive rod 210 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 23, and the drive rod 210 connects the two sprockets 22 respectively. U-shaped retaining links 24 are fixedly installed at adjacent links on the chains 21. A limit strip 25 is fixedly connected to the top of each U-shaped retaining link 24. A limit block 26 is installed on the upper end of the inner side wall of each limit strip 25. A soaking tank 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the frame 1 near the chain 21. Support legs 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the frame 1. The bottom of the frame 1 is inclined at the lower end of the chain 21.

[0019] S1: First, start the drive motor 23 to drive the sprocket 22 to rotate through the drive rod 210. The rotation of the sprocket 22 will drive the chains 21 at both ends to mesh and rotate. At this time, the chains 21 at both ends are in the conveying state. S2: Then place the white-backed Panax notoginseng section inside the cleaning component 3, and then place the cleaning component 3 containing the item to be cleaned inside the limiting block 26 between the limiting strips 25 at both ends. The limiting strips 25 and the limiting block 26 at both ends can limit the cleaning component 3 and transport it to the soaking tank 12. Then start the water spray component 11 and rinse the white-backed Panax notoginseng section inside the cleaning component 3 through the water spray nozzle at the lower end of the water spray component 11. The water after cleaning will flow out at an angle through the bottom of the frame 1 to prevent the cleaning water from stagnating in the frame 1. S3: When the cleaning component 3 is conveyed to the edge of the chain 21, the cleaning component 3 will be forced to break free of its limiting block 26 due to the rotation of the chain 21 along the sprocket 22. At this time, the cleaning component 3 will be rotated and tilted and fall into the soaking tank 12. The cleaning solution in the soaking tank 12 can be used to soak and clean the white back Panax notoginseng section again.

[0020] Example 2: The technical solution of this example, which differs from that of Example 1, includes: the cleaning component 3 includes a support frame 31 located between the limiting strips 25. A sealing plate 32 is installed on the inner frame of the support frame 31. Multiple sets of support frames 33 with stepped two-end diameters are embedded in the walls of the sealing plate 32. Multiple sets of sliding grooves 301 are provided on the two inner frame walls of the support frame 31. Lifting rods 34 with Z-shaped cross-sections are slidably connected to the inner walls of the sliding grooves 301. Multiple sets of connecting rods 37 are provided between the lifting rods 34. A telescopic rod 35 is fixedly connected between the lifting rod 34 and the top of the inner end of the sliding groove 301. A return spring 36 distributed between the sliding groove 301 and the lifting rod 34 is sleeved on the outer end of the telescopic rod 35. Two adjacent connecting rods 37 Each rod wall is fixedly connected to several contact blocks 38, and each contact block 38 is fixedly connected to a sleeve plate 39. A cleaning sponge 310 is inserted through the sleeve plate 39. Several rotating rods 27 are rotatably connected between two adjacent links of the chain 21 via bearings. One end of the rotating rod 27 is located outside the chain 21 and is fixedly connected to a transmission gear 28. The transmission gear 28 is meshed with a rack plate 14 installed on the inner side wall of the frame 1. A double-headed cam 29 is fixedly installed between two chains 21 on the rod wall of the rotating rod 27. The contact blocks 38 are set at a stepped height and abut against the double-headed cam 29. The limiting block 26 and the sleeve plate 39 are made of either rubber or silicone.

[0021] S1: First, when the staff places the carrier frame 31 into the limit strip 25, and places the white-backed Panax notoginseng sections into the slots of different diameters in the carrier frame 33, when the chain 21 rotates to the top, the transmission gear 28 will mesh and rotate along the rack plate 14, thereby driving the rotating rod 27 to rotate and causing its double-headed cam 29 to rotate synchronously. When the protruding end of the double-headed cam 29 contacts and abuts against the corresponding contact block 38, the entire carrier frame 31 will be in a state of vibration, which can shake off the dirt and dust on the surface of the white-backed Panax notoginseng sections, and can initially achieve the effect of shaking off and cleaning. S2: When the chain 21 transports the carrier frame 31 to the lower end of the water spray assembly 11, water is sprayed into the carrier frame 33 in conjunction with the water spray assembly 11. On the one hand, the water flow cleans the white-backed 37-section ribs, and on the other hand, the water flow wets several corresponding cleaning sponges 310. At this time, the cleaning sponges 310 expand when wet and can squeeze and clamp the white-backed 37-section ribs. At the same time, the protruding ends of several double-headed cams 29 at the bottom will abut against the contact block 38 and move upward. The contact block 38 will compress its telescopic rod 35 and return spring 36 through the lifting rod 34. At this time, the contact block 38 will drive the cleaning sponge 310 to move upward through the sleeve plate 39. When the double-headed cam 29 disengages from the contact block 38, the contact block 38 can be moved up and down by the reset spring 36, which in turn drives the sleeve plate 39 to move up and down repeatedly. This allows the water-soaked cleaning sponge 310 to repeatedly wash the white-backed Panax notoginseng joints. The sleeve plate 39, which is set in a stepped shape at both ends, can hold white-backed Panax notoginseng joints of different sizes for cleaning, further improving the cleaning effect of the white-backed Panax notoginseng joints. The cleaning sponge 310 can be adapted to the washing and cleaning of white-backed Panax notoginseng joints of different shapes. The sleeve plate 39 is made of silicone or rubber, which avoids damage to the white-backed Panax notoginseng joints during the up and down movement. S3: Finally, when the carrier frame 31 is transported into the soaking tank 12, the expansion of the cleaning sponge 310 and the white-backed Panax notoginseng section can prevent the white-backed Panax notoginseng section from scattering when the carrier frame 31 rotates and falls into the soaking tank 12.
