Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a combined fully automatic crate washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] The hospital's intravenous medication preparation center (IVF center) prepares intravenous medications in an environment designed according to international standards and the characteristics of the drugs, by professional staff following standard procedures. The principle of "one basket, one prescription" is followed during preparation, with each prescription's medication stored in a separate basket, resulting in a large number of baskets being used. The baskets used in the IVF center consist of the basket body and a flange at the top. Structurally, the baskets often employ a perforated mesh design, with an open top, a flat mesh panel at the bottom, and guardrails around the perimeter. The flange is located at the top of the guardrails, forming a square basket with four sides. Due to the special nature of the medications and the possibility of spills or leaks during handling, the baskets are easily contaminated. To ensure medication hygiene and a clean preparation environment, the used baskets must be thoroughly cleaned promptly.

[0003] Currently, medicine baskets are mostly cleaned manually, with staff washing, soaking, disinfecting, and then drying them in water tanks in a cleaning room. This manual cleaning method has significant drawbacks: First, it consumes a lot of time and manpower, resulting in low efficiency; second, the cleaning process is difficult to supervise, and quality is uncontrollable; third, it requires a large area for drying, and the drying time is long; fourth, operators are in prolonged contact with the cleaning solution and medicine baskets, potentially suffering harm from residual medicine.

[0004] Therefore, existing methods for cleaning medicine baskets suffer from problems such as low efficiency, uncontrollable quality, large space occupation, and safety hazards. There is an urgent need to provide a fully automated cleaning device for medicine baskets. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention discloses a combined fully automatic crate washing machine to solve the aforementioned technical problems existing in related technologies.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This application provides a combined fully automatic crate washing machine, which, according to the washing process, includes, in sequence: The soaking mechanism includes a soaking tank and a liftable soaking support platform disposed in the soaking tank. The soaking support platform is disposed in the soaking tank and is used to support the basket to be cleaned. The first pushing mechanism is located on the upper side of the soaking mechanism and is used to transfer the soaked baskets located on the soaking support platform. The basket separating mechanism has its inlet connected to the output end of the first pushing mechanism, and includes a basket separating execution mechanism for separating stacked baskets and placing them down one by one. The cleaning mechanism, located below the basket separating mechanism and with the feed inlet corresponding to the discharge outlet of the basket separating mechanism, includes a cleaning tank and a liftable cleaning support platform located inside the cleaning tank. The second pushing mechanism is installed on the cleaning mechanism and is used to transfer the cleaned basket. The rinsing and dewatering mechanism has its inlet connected to the output end of the second pushing mechanism, and includes a rinsing tank for rinsing and dewatering the cleaned basket. The drying mechanism has a feed inlet corresponding to the discharge outlet of the rinsing and dewatering mechanism. The drying mechanism is used to dry the basket after it has been processed by the rinsing and dewatering mechanism. The stacking mechanism has an inlet corresponding to the outlet of the drying mechanism. The stacking mechanism is used to receive the dried baskets and stack them automatically. The controller is electrically connected to the soaking mechanism, the basket separating mechanism, the first pushing mechanism, the washing mechanism, the rinsing and dewatering mechanism, the second pushing mechanism, the drying mechanism, and the basket stacking mechanism, respectively, to coordinate the timing of each action.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: The combined fully automatic crate washing machine described in this application (1) The combined fully automatic crate washing machine in this application fundamentally improves cleaning efficiency through the automated process of multiple devices working together. The soaking mechanism is equipped with a liftable soaking carrying platform, which can directly carry the stacked crates to be cleaned without the need for manual placement of each crate into the soaking tank. Multiple crates can be processed at once, reducing the manpower input and time consumption in the soaking process. The first pushing mechanism automatically transfers the soaked crates to the crate separating mechanism, avoiding the time-consuming and laborious manual handling. The crate separating mechanism automatically separates the stacked crates and lowers them one by one through the crate separating execution mechanism, replacing the tedious manual disassembly and stacking operation, ensuring a seamless connection from soaking to cleaning. The subsequent cleaning, rinsing, drying, and crate stacking processes are also automated through the cleaning mechanism, the second pushing mechanism, the rinsing and dewatering mechanism, the drying mechanism, and the crate stacking mechanism. No manual intervention is required between each process. Each device cooperates in sequence according to the process, greatly reducing manual participation, shortening the overall cleaning time, and effectively solving the problem of low efficiency in manual cleaning.

[0008] (2) The combined fully automatic crate washing machine in this application ensures controllable and monitorable cleaning quality through standardized device design and automated control. The cleaning mechanism adopts a combination of a cleaning tank and a liftable cleaning platform. The cleaning environment of the crates in the cleaning tank is stable, and the cleaning process can be set with uniform operating specifications through the device to avoid the randomness of manual cleaning. The rinsing and dehydration mechanism is specifically used to rinse and dehydrate the cleaned crates, which can effectively remove residual cleaning liquid and contaminants. It is more thorough than simple manual rinsing, and the rinsing process can be executed according to fixed parameters to ensure that the rinsing effect of each crate is consistent. The drying mechanism replaces manual sun drying and dries the crates in a relatively closed environment according to set conditions. It is not affected by the external environment and the drying effect is stable. At the same time, the controller is electrically connected to each device, which can monitor the operating status of each link in real time and record relevant operating parameters, which facilitates the supervision of the cleaning process and ensures that the cleaning quality meets the requirements.

[0009] (3) The combined fully automatic crate washing machine in this application effectively saves space and shortens drying time through optimized process and device design. The drying mechanism completely replaces the traditional sun-drying method, eliminating the need to reserve a large area for sun-drying and significantly reducing space occupation. The drying mechanism can set appropriate drying parameters according to the characteristics of the medicine crates, and can quickly dry the rinsed crates. Compared with natural sun-drying, it is not limited by the external environment and significantly shortens the drying time. In addition, the entire device is arranged in sequence according to the cleaning process. The soaking mechanism, crate sorting mechanism, washing mechanism, rinsing and dehydration mechanism, drying mechanism, and crate stacking mechanism form a compact assembly line structure. The devices are closely connected, and no additional space is needed for the transfer and storage of crates, further improving the space utilization rate and solving the problems of large space occupation and long drying time of manual washing.

[0010] (4) The combined fully automatic crate washing machine in this application reduces direct contact between operators and cleaning fluid and medicine crates through fully automated operation, ensuring personnel safety. The first and second pushing mechanisms are responsible for transferring the crates between corresponding stages. The crate separating mechanism and the crate stacking mechanism realize automatic separation and automatic stacking of the crates, respectively. The entire process does not require operators to touch the medicine crates by hand, avoiding contact with residual medicine on the crates. The cleaning fluid and rinsing water circulate or are discharged inside the device, reducing the impact of cleaning fluid evaporation and splashing on operators. Operators do not need to stay in the cleaning area for a long time, reducing the risk of contact with cleaning fluid. The controller can realize remote control and monitoring of each device. Operators only need to operate in the control area and do not need to approach the cleaning operation area, fundamentally reducing the possibility of operators being harmed by residual medicine and cleaning fluid, and solving the safety hazards of manual cleaning.

[0014] In related technologies, the medicine basket 50 used in the static preparation center includes a basket body 501 and a flange 502 located on the top of the basket body 501. The basket body 501 is mostly designed with a hollow mesh, with a flat mesh panel at the bottom and guardrails around it. The flange 502 is located on the top of the guardrails.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-27 This application provides a combined fully automatic crate washing machine, which, according to the washing process, includes, in sequence: The soaking mechanism 10 includes a soaking tank 102 and a liftable soaking support platform 101 disposed in the soaking tank 102. The soaking support platform 101 is disposed in the soaking tank 102 and is used to support the basket 501 to be cleaned. The first pushing mechanism 20 is located on the upper side of the soaking mechanism 10 and is used to transfer the soaked basket 501 located on the soaking support platform 101. The basket separating mechanism 30 has its inlet connected to the output end of the first pushing mechanism 20, and includes a basket separating execution mechanism for separating the stacked baskets 501 and placing them down one by one; The cleaning mechanism 40 is located below the basket separating mechanism 30 and its inlet corresponds to the outlet of the basket separating mechanism 30. It includes a cleaning tank 401 and a liftable cleaning support platform 403 located in the cleaning tank 401. The second material pushing mechanism is installed on the cleaning mechanism 40 and is used to transfer the cleaned basket 501. The rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60 has its inlet connected to the output end of the second pushing mechanism, and includes a rinsing tank 601 for rinsing and dewatering the cleaned basket 501. The drying mechanism 80 has a feed inlet corresponding to the discharge outlet of the rinsing and dehydrating mechanism 60. The drying mechanism 80 is used to dry the basket 501 after it has been processed by the rinsing and dehydrating mechanism 60. The stacking mechanism 90 has an inlet corresponding to the outlet of the drying mechanism 80. The stacking mechanism 90 is used to receive the dried baskets 501 and stack them automatically. The controller is electrically connected to the soaking mechanism 10, the basket separating mechanism 30, the first pushing mechanism 20, the washing mechanism 40, the rinsing and dehydrating mechanism 60, the second pushing mechanism, the drying mechanism 80, and the basket stacking mechanism 90, respectively, to coordinate the timing of each action.

[0016] In some embodiments, the soaking tank 102 has a chamber for containing the soaking solution and has an open upper end; the soaking support platform 101 is vertically and vertically suspended within the chamber of the soaking tank 102 to support the basket 501 to be soaked; the lifting mechanism of the soaking support platform 101 is electrically connected to the controller. It is understood that the automatic immersion and removal of the medicine basket 50 is achieved through the liftable soaking support platform 101, and the controller enables automated operation, reducing manual intervention and improving the efficiency of the soaking process. Simultaneously, the open upper end facilitates initial material loading.

[0017] In some embodiments, the soaking support platform 101 is provided with multiple soaking stations 103, and each soaking station 103 has a first guide plate 104 on both sides of the conveying path of the medicine basket 50. During use, the stacked medicine baskets 50 are manually placed onto the soaking station 103 of the soaking support platform 101. The soaking support platform 101 is provided with multiple soaking stations 103, which can process multiple sets of medicine baskets 50 at the same time, thereby improving the batch processing capacity. The first guide plate 104 has a guiding function during the conveying of the medicine baskets 50, and the first guide plate 104 between adjacent soaking stations 103 also has a separating function, ensuring that each station is independent and avoiding mutual interference between the medicine baskets 50.

[0018] In some embodiments, the lifting actuator of the immersion support platform 101 is a belt-driven lifting actuator, with one end of the immersion support platform 101 connected to the output end of the belt-driven lifting actuator, thereby driving the immersion support platform 101 to rise or fall. Of course, the lifting actuator of the immersion support platform 101 is not limited to the structure disclosed in this application, and other lifting actuators can also be used to perform the lifting of the immersion support platform 101.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first pushing mechanism 20 includes: First mounting plate 201; The material pusher slide rail 202 is horizontally arranged on the first mounting plate 201 along the conveying direction of the basket 501; The motor base 204 has a pusher groove at its bottom that slides in cooperation with the pusher slide rail 202. The first pusher motor 203 is mounted on the motor base 204; The push rod 205 is connected to the motor base 204 and is set to correspond to the soaking station 103; The pusher gear 206 is connected to the output shaft of the first pusher motor 203; The pusher rack 207 meshes with the pusher gear 206, and the pusher rack 207 is horizontally arranged on the first mounting plate 201 along the conveying direction of the basket 501. When the soaking support platform 101 rises to the set discharge height, the first pushing motor 203 drives the pushing gear 206 to rotate. The pushing gear 206 and the pushing rack 207 together drive the first pushing motor 203 to move linearly, thereby driving the pushing rod 205 to move linearly, pushing the basket 501 away from the soaking support platform 101 and into the basket separating mechanism 30 through the discharge port of the soaking mechanism 10. Of course, the structure of the first pushing mechanism 20 is not limited to the structure disclosed in this application; it only needs to realize the movement of the basket 501, transferring it from the soaking support platform 101 to the basket separating mechanism 30 for separation. The first pushing mechanism 20, through the cooperation of the pushing gear 206, the pushing rack 207 and the pushing slide rail 202, realizes the smooth linear movement of the pushing rod 205, which can accurately push the soaked basket 501 from the soaking support platform 101 to the basket separating mechanism 30, replacing manual handling, realizing the automated connection from soaking to basket separating, reducing manpower input, ensuring the stability of the transfer process, improving the overall process efficiency and reducing the risk of human contact.

[0020] In some embodiments, for each soaking station 103, at least one pusher rod 205 is provided for pushing the basket 501. It is understood that during the process of pushing the basket 501, the first guide plate 104 plays a limiting and guiding role, ensuring that the basket 501 moves along a predetermined path, avoiding deviation or collision, and improving the accuracy and safety of the transfer.

[0021] In some embodiments, the basket separating mechanism 30 includes: The upper mounting base 301 and the lower mounting base 302 are provided. At least one basket separation station 303 is provided between the upper mounting base 301 and the lower mounting base 302. For each basket separation station 303, a basket separation through hole 304 adapted to the size of the basket body 501 is provided on the lower mounting base 302. The basket separating assembly, corresponding to each basket separating station 303, includes at least two parallel basket separating shafts 305 and basket separating wheels 306 sleeved on the basket separating shafts 305. The two ends of the basket separating shafts 305 are respectively rotatably connected between the upper mounting base 301 and the lower mounting base 302, and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the feeding path of the basket separating through hole 304. The basket-separating drive assembly is connected to the basket-separating shaft 305 and is used to drive the basket-separating wheel 306 to rotate so that the lowest basket 501 falls down and supports the upper basket 501. The guide support assembly, corresponding to each basket sorting station 303, includes at least one pair of guide support plates 307 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding path for horizontal feeding support. The guide support plate 307 has a working position for supporting the side wall of the basket 501 and a clearance position for avoiding the falling of the basket 501. A guide drive assembly is connected to the guide support plate 307 for driving the guide support plate 307 to switch between the working position and the clearance position. The basket-separating drive component and the guide drive component are electrically connected to the controller. It can be understood that the overall structural design of the basket-separating mechanism 30, through the cooperation of the basket-separating component, the basket-separating drive component, the guide drive component, and the guide support component, can automatically separate the stacked medicine baskets 50 and lower them one by one, replacing the tedious operation of manually disassembling and stacking baskets, realizing the automated connection from soaking to cleaning, and improving the overall process efficiency.

[0022] In some embodiments, the basket separating wheel 306 includes: A cylindrical connecting column 308 is coaxially sleeved on the dividing shaft 305; The basket-separating step 309 includes a descending step surface 3011 that connects to the starting extension plane 3010. The starting extension plane 3010 and the top surface of the connecting column form a horizontal support reference plane. The descending step surface 3011 spirals down along the outer wall of the cylindrical connecting column 308. It can be understood that the cylindrical connecting column 308 provides a stable support foundation. The starting extension plane 3010 of the basket-separating step 309 and the top surface of the cylindrical connecting column 308 form a horizontal support reference plane, which can stably support the flanges 502 of the stacked baskets 501. The descending step surface 3011 spirals down along the outer wall of the cylindrical connecting column 308. When the basket-separating wheel 306 rotates, it can gradually guide the flanges 502 of the lowest basket 501 to detach from the stacked baskets 501 above and fall, achieving individual separation. This structure ensures a smooth and orderly basket separation process, preventing basket jamming or poor separation, guaranteeing basket separation efficiency, and providing a stable single feed for subsequent processes.

[0023] In some embodiments, the basket-splitting drive component includes: The first drive motor 3012 is fixed to the top of the upper mounting base 301; The reducer 3013 has its input end connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 3012; The synchronous belt pulley assembly includes a transmission belt 3035, a first driving pulley 3014, and a first driven pulley 3015. The first driving pulley 3014 is connected to the first driven pulley 3015 via the transmission belt 3035 to achieve power transmission. The first driving pulley 3014 is connected to the output end of the reducer 3013, and a first driven pulley 3015 is connected to the upper end of each basket shaft 305. The first drive motor 3012 drives the basket-separating shaft 305 of the same basket-separating station 303 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt pulley set, and the rotation directions of the basket-separating shafts 305 on both sides are opposite.

[0024] In some embodiments, the basket-dividing drive assembly further includes a plurality of tensioning rollers 3034.

[0025] In some embodiments, guide support plates 307 located on both sides of the feeding path are rotatably connected to both sides of the basket-separating through-hole 304 via a first rotating shaft 3016 and a second rotating shaft 3017, respectively. The guide drive assembly drives the rotation of the first rotating shaft 3016 and the second rotating shaft 3017 to achieve synchronous switching of the two guide support plates 307 between the working position and the clearance position. It can be understood that the guide support plates 307 are connected via the first rotating shaft 3016 and the second rotating shaft 3017 and the switching state is controlled by the guide drive assembly. In the working position, they stably support the basket 501 to achieve horizontal feeding, and in the clearance position, they clear the path for the basket 501 to fall, ensuring a smooth switching between the feeding and falling processes and improving the automation level and work continuity of the basket-separating mechanism 30.

[0026] In some embodiments, the guide drive component includes: The first electric push rod 3030 is fixed to the upper mounting base 301; A multi-stage rocker arm transmission mechanism, the input end of which is hinged to the output end of the first electric push rod 3030, and the output end of which is connected to the first rotating shaft 3016 and the second rotating shaft 3017 of the two guide support plates 307 respectively, for driving the guide support plates 307 on both sides of the feeding path to synchronously switch between the working position and the avoidance position; the multi-stage rocker arm transmission mechanism includes: The first reversing rocker arm 3018 is rotatably connected to the first auxiliary mounting block 3020 via the third rotating shaft 3019. Its first rotating end 3021 is hinged to the output shaft of the electric cylinder, and its second rotating end 3022 is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod arm 3023. The second rotating end 3022 transmits power through the first connecting rod arm 3023. The second reversing rocker arm 3024 is connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 3016; its third rotating end 3025 is hinged to the other end of the first connecting rod arm 3023, and its fourth rotating end 3026 is hinged to the second connecting rod arm 3027, and the fourth rotating end 3026 transmits power through the second connecting rod arm 3027. The third reversing rocker arm 3028 is connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 3017, and its fifth rotating end 3029 is hinged to the second connecting arm 3027. It can be understood that the first electric push rod 3030 of the guide drive assembly, in conjunction with the multi-stage rocker arm transmission mechanism, can precisely drive the guide support plates 307 on both sides to switch states synchronously. The transmission structure is compact and the movements are coordinated, ensuring that the guide support plates 307 switch accurately and reliably between the working position and the avoidance position, further improving the stability and accuracy of the basket sorting process.

[0027] In some embodiments, the outer edge of the guide support plate 307 is further provided with a first limiting baffle 3031 for limiting and guiding the side wall of the basket 501; the basket separating mechanism 30 further includes a second limiting baffle 3032 connected to the lower mounting base 302, the second limiting baffle 3032 being located at the edge of the basket separating through hole 304 away from the feeding side; the basket separating device further includes a pair of second guide plates 3033, symmetrically arranged on the feeding side of the basket separating through hole 304.

[0028] In some embodiments, the cleaning tank 401 has a chamber for containing cleaning fluid and has an open top structure, and an ultrasonic generator 402 is provided inside the cleaning tank 401. The cleaning support platform 403 can be vertically lifted and suspended in the cavity of the cleaning tank 401 to support the basket 501 to be cleaned. The cleaning mechanism 40 also includes a buoyancy limiting mechanism disposed in the cavity of the cleaning tank 401, which is used to limit the position of the product during the cleaning process and keep the product submerged in the cleaning solution. The ultrasonic generator 402 and the lifting mechanism of the cleaning platform 403 are electrically connected to the controller. It is understood that the open structure of the cleaning tank 401 facilitates the entry and exit of the basket 501; the ultrasonic generator 402 provides efficient cleaning capabilities, improving the cleaning effect; the liftable cleaning platform 403, in conjunction with the buoyancy limiting mechanism, ensures that the basket 501 is always submerged in the cleaning solution during cleaning, guaranteeing thorough and uniform cleaning; and the connection of each component to the controller enables automated control, improving the efficiency and quality stability of the cleaning process.

[0029] In some embodiments, the cleaning platform 403 is provided with at least one cleaning station 4010. The size of the cleaning station 4010 is adapted to the basket 501 to be cleaned. For each cleaning station 4010, a pair of inclined third guide plates 4011 are provided on both sides of the basket 501 in the discharge direction to guide the positioning and discharge of the basket 501. It is understood that the cleaning station 4010 on the cleaning platform 403, adapted to the size of the basket 501, can position the basket 501 and prevent displacement during cleaning. The inclined third guide plates 4011 on both sides of the discharge direction guide the basket 501 during discharge, ensuring that the basket 501 accurately moves out of the cleaning station 4010, facilitating subsequent transfer to the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60, and improving the smoothness of the connection between the cleaning and rinsing stages.

[0030] In some embodiments, the buoyancy limiting mechanism includes limiting components disposed at each cleaning station 4010, and each set of limiting components includes: The first limiting rod 4013 is rotatably connected to the outside of the third guide plate 4011 at its middle part; The buoyancy body 4014 is fixed to one end of the first limiting rod 4013, and its density is less than that of the cleaning fluid. The pressing end 4015 is located at the other end of the first limiting rod 4013; When the cleaning support platform 403 descends into the cleaning fluid, the buoyancy body 4014 is driven by the buoyancy to rotate the first limiting rod 4013, so that the pressing end 4015 is pressed down onto the surface of the basket 501 to achieve the limiting position. When the cleaning platform 403 rises above the cleaning fluid surface, the buoyancy body 4014, under gravity, drives the first limiting rod 4013 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the pressing end 4015 detaches from the surface of the basket 501, releasing the limiting position. It can be understood that the buoyancy limiting mechanism utilizes the density difference between the buoyancy body 4014 and the cleaning fluid to achieve automatic limiting and release, requiring no additional power. During cleaning, buoyancy causes the pressing end 4015 to press down on the basket 501, ensuring that the basket 501 is completely submerged and its position is stable; during rising, gravity causes the pressing end 4015 to automatically detach, without affecting the subsequent transfer of the basket 501. This ensures cleaning quality while simplifying the structure and reducing energy consumption, meeting the needs of automated cleaning.

[0031] In some embodiments, a first auxiliary connector 4016 is provided on the outer side of the third guide plate 4011, and a first connecting rod 4017 is provided on both sides of the first auxiliary connector 4016. The middle part of the first limiting rod 4013 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 4017.

[0032] In some embodiments, a cleaning outlet 409 is provided on the upper part of one side of the cleaning tank 401, and the horizontal height of the cleaning outlet 409 is higher than the initial working position of the cleaning support platform 403; the second pushing mechanism is disposed at the cleaning outlet 409 of the cleaning tank 401; the second pushing mechanism includes: The second pusher motor 4012 has its output shaft connected to the pusher chain 404. The pusher plate 405 is fixed on the pusher chain 404 and is set perpendicular to the product discharge path; When the cleaning platform 403 rises to the set discharge height, the second pusher motor 4012 drives the pusher chain 404 to move, which in turn drives the pusher plate 405 to push the basket 501 away from the cleaning platform 403. The basket then automatically enters the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60 through the cleaning discharge port 409 of the cleaning mechanism 40. It is understood that the height design of the cleaning discharge port 409 is coordinated with the cleaning platform 403 to ensure that the basket 501 can be accurately positioned and discharged after cleaning. The second pusher mechanism, through the second pusher motor 4012 and the pusher chain 404, drives the pusher plate 405 to automatically push the basket 501, achieving a seamless connection between the cleaning and rinsing / dewatering stages. This replaces manual handling, reduces manpower input and contact risks, and ensures stable transfer movements, further improving the automation efficiency and safety of the overall cleaning process.

[0033] In some embodiments, for each cleaning station 4010 of the cleaning support platform 403, a pusher plate 4018 is connected to the pusher plate 405. The pusher plate 4018 can apply a thrust independently to each cleaning station 4010.

[0034] In some embodiments, the cleaning tank 401 is equipped with a first sensor for detecting the loading status of the basket 501 to be cleaned on the cleaning support platform 403. The first sensor is installed on the side wall of the cleaning tank 401 and is electrically connected to the controller. It is understood that the first sensor can detect in real time whether the basket 501 to be cleaned is loaded on the cleaning support platform 403 and transmit the signal to the controller. This design ensures that the cleaning process starts on demand, reduces unnecessary operations, improves cleaning efficiency, and ensures accurate execution of subsequent cleaning actions, maintaining process stability.

[0035] In some embodiments, the lifting actuator of the cleaning platform 403 is a belt-driven lifting actuator, with one end of the cleaning platform 403 connected to the output end of the belt-driven lifting actuator, thereby driving the cleaning platform 403 to rise or fall. Of course, the lifting actuator of the cleaning platform 403 is not limited to the structure disclosed in this application; other lifting actuators can also be used to perform the lifting of the cleaning platform 403.

[0036] In some embodiments, the cleaning tank 401 is connected to a second inlet pipe 406, a second outlet pipe 407, and a second overflow pipe 408.

[0037] In some embodiments, the rinsing and dehydration mechanism 60 includes: The rinsing tank 601 is provided with a feed channel 602 and a discharge channel 603 that penetrate the side wall of the rinsing tank 601. The cage 604 is rotatably disposed within the rinsing tank 601. Its side wall has several water inlet and outlet gaps, and its interior forms a receiving cavity that matches the shape of the basket 501. The side wall of the cage 604 has an openable and closable cage inlet 606 and a cage outlet 606, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the cage 604 and have the same shape. The position of the cage inlet 606 corresponds to the position of the feed channel 602, and the position of the cage outlet corresponds to the position of the discharge channel 603. A rotary drive assembly, connected to the cage 604, is used to drive the cage 604 to rotate around its central axis; The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning pipe 608 arranged outside the cage 604, and a plurality of cleaning nozzles 609 are provided on the cleaning pipe 608, the fluid spraying direction of the cleaning nozzles 609 being towards the receiving cavity of the cage 604. The feed inlet opening and closing assembly has a locking component that controls the opening and closing states of the cage feed inlet 606 and the cage discharge outlet. The rotary drive assembly, cleaning assembly, and material inlet opening / closing assembly are electrically connected to the controller. In the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60, the cage 604 can accommodate the basket 501 and rotates it through the rotary drive assembly. In conjunction with the cleaning nozzles 609 of the outer cleaning assembly, it can efficiently rinse the basket 501 for residual cleaning liquid and achieve dewatering through centrifugal force. The water inlet / outlet gap is used for water intake and drainage during rinsing and dewatering. The material inlet opening / closing assembly controls the opening and closing of the inlet and outlet of the cage 604. Combined with the feeding channel 602 and the discharging channel 603, it realizes automatic entry and exit of the basket 501 and closed rinsing and dewatering, improving the efficiency and effect of rinsing and dewatering and reducing manual intervention.

[0038] In some embodiments, the discharge channel 603 is inclined, with the inclination direction downward from the inlet end to the outlet end. During discharge, the control rotation drive assembly drives the cage 604 to rotate and tilt at a certain angle, so that one side of the cage discharge port is lower than the side of the cage inlet 606; the controller controls the locking assembly to open the cage discharge port, and the medicine basket 50 slides along the inclined cage 604 under the action of gravity, automatically moving out through the cage discharge port and the discharge channel 603 of the rinsing tank 601; the setting position of the cage discharge port and the setting position of the discharge channel 603 correspond to the setting position of the discharge channel 603, meaning that after the medicine basket 50 slides out of the inclined cage discharge port, it will just enter the discharge channel 603 of the rinsing tank 601, and can automatically slide out of the rinsing tank 601 through the inclined discharge channel 603. For example, a first inclined extension section 607 can be set inside the rinsing tank 601 at the position corresponding to the discharge channel 603 (see [reference]). Figure 19 The first inclined extension section 607 is not required if the inlet of the discharge channel 603 is positioned to catch the medicine basket 50 sliding out of the discharge port of the cage. (See also: [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 20 ).

[0039] In some embodiments, the locking component includes: The linkage execution component includes an axially movable main rod 6010 and a drive plate 6011 rigidly connected thereto. The main rod 6010 is provided with a limiting structure that can control the opening and closing of the cage inlet 606 and the cage outlet. The fixed support assembly includes a mounting base 6013 that is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cage 604 via a guide shaft 6012. The main rod 6010 passes through the mounting base 6013 to form an axial sliding fit. The two ends of the drive plate 6011 are respectively slidably connected to the guide shaft 6012. The elastic reset assembly includes a pre-compressed elastic element that provides a restoring force to keep the limiting structure in the closed state under normal conditions; The second electric push rod 6014 has its output end connected to the drive plate 6011. When the second electric push rod 6014 outputs thrust, it overcomes the resistance of the elastic element and pushes the linkage execution component to open the cage inlet 606 and the cage outlet. When the second electric push rod 6014 retracts, the elastic element drives the linkage execution component to reset, thereby closing the cage inlet 606 and the cage outlet. The locking component drives the linkage execution component through the second electric push rod 6014, and works with the elastic reset component to achieve automatic opening and closing of the cage 604 inlet and outlet. The fixed support component ensures the stable sliding of the linkage execution component. The cooperation between the second electric push rod 6014 and the elastic element makes the opening and closing action precise and controllable, and the reset reliable, ensuring that the cage 604 is tightly sealed during rinsing and dewatering, and opens smoothly during feeding and discharging, thus ensuring a stable and highly automated rinsing and dewatering process.

[0040] In some embodiments, the limiting structure includes a second limiting rod 6015 connected to the main rod 6010. The second limiting rod 6015 has an L-shaped structure. When the second electric push rod 6014 retracts, the elastic element drives the main rod 6010 to reset, and the second limiting rod 6015 is located within the material flow space where the cage inlet 606 and the cage outlet are located. It can be understood that when the elastic element resets, the second limiting rod 6015 extends into the material flow space of the cage inlet and outlet, effectively preventing the opening of the cage inlet 606 and the cage outlet, ensuring that the basket 501 remains within the cage 604 during the rinsing and dewatering process. The structure is simple and the limiting is reliable, ensuring the normal operation of the rinsing and dewatering process and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0041] In some embodiments, the elastic element is a spring 6016 sleeved on the guide shaft 6012, with one end of the spring 6016 connected to the mounting base 6013 and the other end of the spring 6016 connected to the drive plate 6011.

[0042] In some embodiments, the rinsing tank 601 has a water storage chamber at its lower part. A third inlet pipe 6026, a third outlet pipe 6018, and a third overflow pipe are connected to the rinsing tank 601. The third inlet pipe 6026 is connected to the cleaning pipeline 608. A liquid level sensor 6024 is connected to the side wall of the rinsing tank 601, and the liquid level sensor 6024 is located at the highest water level in the water storage chamber. The cleaning assembly also includes a circulating water system, which includes a circulating pump 6017. The outlet of the circulating pump 6017 is connected to the third inlet pipe 6026, and the inlet of the circulating pump 6017 is connected to the third outlet pipe 6018. A drain branch pipe 6020 is also connected to the third outlet pipe 6018. The liquid level sensor 6024 and the circulating pump 6017 are electrically connected to the controller. Understandably, the water storage chamber at the bottom of the rinsing tank 601 is used to store rinsing water. The liquid level sensor 6024 on the side wall is located at the highest water level and can monitor the water level in the storage chamber in real time. When the water level reaches the set value, it transmits a signal to the controller to avoid overflowing due to excessively high water levels or affecting rinsing due to excessively low water levels, ensuring sufficient and stable rinsing water and reliable operation of the rinsing process. The water in the rinsing tank 601 is transported to the cleaning pipeline 608 for recycling by the circulation pump 6017. When it is necessary to replace the rinsing water, the used rinsing water can be discharged from the drain branch pipe 6020. This reduces water waste and lowers operating costs, while ensuring a continuous and stable water flow during the rinsing process, improving the rinsing effect. The circulation pump 6017 is connected to the controller to achieve automated control, reducing manual operation.

[0043] In some embodiments, the rinsing tank 601 includes a lower shell 6022 with an open upper end and a cover 6023 that matches the open end; the cage 604 is divided into two rinsing stations 6025 by a first partition 6027; a cover 6023 is provided for each rinsing station 6025; and a handle 6021 is provided on the cover 6023.

[0044] In some embodiments, the two ends of the cage 604 are rotatably connected to the lower housing 6022 via a fourth rotating shaft 605 and a fifth rotating shaft 6028, respectively; the output end of the rotary drive assembly is connected to the fourth rotating shaft 605. The cage 604 achieves stable rotational support through the fourth rotating shaft 605 and the fifth rotating shaft 6028. The rotary drive assembly drives the fourth rotating shaft 605 to rotate, thereby driving the cage 604 to rotate. The rotary drive assembly can adopt existing rotary drive structures, such as direct motor drive, motor + pulley / belt drive, or other rotary drive structures. After dehydration is completed, the controller stops the rotary drive unit and the cage 604 stops rotating. Then, the controller controls the rotary drive mechanism to tilt the cage 604 around the fourth rotating shaft 605 and the fifth rotating shaft 6028 at a certain angle, so that one side of the cage outlet is lower than the side of the cage inlet 606. At the same time, the controller controls the second electric push rod 6014 to output thrust, overcome the resistance of the elastic element and push the linkage execution component to move, so that the second limit rod 6015 exits the material flow space and opens the cage outlet for automatic discharge.

[0045] In some embodiments, the crate washing machine further includes a water-blocking device 70 disposed between the discharge port of the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60 and the inlet of the drying mechanism 80. The water-blocking device 70 includes at least one vertically movable water-blocking plate 701 and a drive mechanism pulsatorically connected to the water-blocking plate 701. The drive mechanism is used to switch the water-blocking plate 701 between an interception position and a release position. The interception position is a closed state where the lower edge of the water-blocking plate 701 is below the lower edge of the discharge channel 603 of the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60, and the release position is an open state where the lower edge of the water-blocking plate 701 is above the upper edge of the discharge channel 603 of the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60. The drive mechanism is electrically connected to a controller. In use, the liftable water-blocking plate 701 switches between the interception and release positions. When not being transferred, it forms a barrier to prevent water from entering the drying mechanism 80, avoiding impact on the drying environment and efficiency. When being transferred, it opens the channel to ensure the smooth entry of the crate 501, and it is linked with the controller to achieve precise switching. This reduces moisture interference while ensuring smooth process flow and improving overall cleaning and drying performance. The drive mechanism is electrically connected to the controller, and the position switching of the baffle plate 701 can be linked with the discharge action of the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60 and the feeding action of the drying mechanism 80. This ensures that the channel opens instantly when the basket 501 is moved and closes immediately after the transfer is completed, thus not affecting the continuity of the process and minimizing moisture penetration.

[0046] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism of the baffle plate 701 is driven by a lifting motor 702 and a lifting screw module 703 for lifting and lowering; the baffle device 70 is installed via a second mounting plate 704, on which a guide rail mechanism is provided along the movement direction of the baffle plate 701; the baffle plate 701 is connected via a second connecting rod 705 and slidably connected to the second mounting plate 704 via the guide rail mechanism. A mounting through hole 6029 is provided at the top of the lower housing 6022 of the rinsing tank 601 for the second connecting rod 705 to pass through, so that the baffle plate 701 extends from the inside of the rinsing tank 601 to the position of the discharge channel 603 to block water.

[0047] In some embodiments, the drying mechanism 80 includes a drying chamber 801, a circulating support assembly, and a hot air assembly. The drying chamber 801 has a drying inlet 802 and a drying outlet 803, forming a drying chamber 804 inside. The circulating support assembly includes a closed-loop transmission chain 805 and several medicine basket trays 806 disposed on the closed-loop transmission chain 805. The hot air assembly is disposed in the drying chamber 804 and includes a heater 807 and an air supply channel. The air inlet of the air supply channel is connected to an external air source, and the air outlet 808 of the air supply channel faces the movement path of the medicine basket trays 806. The heater 807 is located in the air supply channel. The heater 807 is electrically connected to a controller. To ensure smooth discharge from the rinsing and dehydration mechanism 60, the end of the rinsing outlet is designed to extend into the drying inlet 802 of the drying mechanism 80, ensuring that the medicine baskets 50 sliding out of the rinsing outlet smoothly slide into the medicine basket trays 806. When the baffle plate 701 is in the interception position, the drying chamber 801 of the drying mechanism 80 can form a relatively closed drying space. The basket 501 is fed from the drying inlet 802 and discharged from the drying outlet 803. The circulating support component drives the medicine basket tray 806 to circulate through the closed-loop transmission chain 805, realizing the continuous conveying of the basket 501. The heater 807 of the hot air component heats the air and then sends it to the medicine basket tray 806 through the air supply channel, providing a stable drying environment for the basket 501. This application can automatically control the conveying rhythm and drying temperature to realize continuous automated drying of the basket 501, improve drying efficiency, and ensure uniform and stable drying effect.

[0048] In some embodiments, the medicine basket tray 806 is rotatably connected to the closed-loop transmission chain 805 via a rotating connecting shaft 809, and the medicine basket tray 806 always maintains a horizontal bearing state during the operation of the closed-loop transmission chain 805; this design can stably support the basket body 501, prevent the basket body 501 from tilting, falling or shifting during the conveying process, ensure that the basket body 501 moves smoothly in the drying chamber, fully contacts the hot air, and ensures uniform drying.

[0049] In some embodiments, the medicine basket tray 806 includes a rectangular tray body 8027 adapted to the size of the basket body 501. The side of the tray body 8027 closest to the drying outlet 803 is its discharge side 8028. The tray body 8027 is provided with baffles 8029 on the side opposite to the discharge side 8028 and on both sides adjacent to the discharge side 8028. The rotating connecting shaft 809 is connected to the baffle 8029 on one side through a second auxiliary connecting member 8030.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drying mechanism 80 further includes a discharge stop 8010, which is positioned corresponding to the drying discharge port 803 of the drying mechanism 80 and satisfies the following condition: when the medicine basket tray 806 moves with the closed-loop transmission chain 805 to contact the discharge stop 8010, the discharge stop 8010 forces the medicine basket tray 806 to rotate around its rotational connecting shaft 809; this rotation causes the medicine basket tray 806 to tilt towards the drying discharge port 803 of the drying mechanism 80, and the basket body 501 slides out of the drying discharge port 803 of the drying mechanism 80 under the action of gravity along the tilted rectangular tray body 8027 and enters the stacking mechanism 90. The discharge stop 8010 cooperates with the medicine basket tray 806 to realize automatic discharge, simplify the discharge structure, achieve seamless connection between the drying and stacking stages, and improve the automation and smoothness of the overall process.

[0051] In some embodiments, the drying outlet 803 of the drying mechanism 80 is provided with a gravity-triggered rotating door assembly, including: The door body 8013 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the drying outlet 803 via a horizontal rotating shaft 8014; The elastic reset component 8015 is fixed at both ends to the door body 8013 and the outer wall of the box, respectively. When the basket 501 slides into the drying outlet 803 via the inclined medicine basket tray 806, its gravity presses against the door 8013, driving the door 8013 to rotate and open around the horizontal pivot 8014. After the basket 501 passes, the elastic reset member 8015 pushes the door 8013 to automatically close. This gravity-triggered rotating door assembly can be opened by the weight of the basket 501 pressing against the door 8013, and automatically closes with the help of the elastic reset member 8015 when there is no basket 501. This design requires no additional power drive, ensuring smooth discharge of the basket 501, reducing the leakage of hot air from the drying chamber 804 and the entry of cold air from outside, maintaining a stable temperature environment in the drying chamber, improving drying efficiency, and simplifying the structure while reducing equipment energy consumption and maintenance costs. It should be noted that the selection of the gravity-triggered rotating door assembly must meet the following requirement: when the medicine basket 50 presses against the door 8013, the medicine basket 50 can drive the door 8013 to rotate and open around the horizontal pivot 8014.

[0052] In some embodiments, the drying outlet 803 is inclined, with the inclination direction downwards from the inlet end to the outlet end. During discharge, the medicine basket 50 slides along the inclined medicine basket tray 806 under the action of gravity and automatically moves out through the drying outlet 803. Since the discharge baffle 8010 is set corresponding to the drying outlet 803, and it needs to meet the requirement that "when the medicine basket tray 806 moves with the closed-loop transmission chain 805 to contact the discharge baffle 8010, the discharge baffle 8010 forces the medicine basket tray 806 to rotate around its rotational connecting shaft 809; the rotation causes the medicine basket tray 806 to tilt towards the drying outlet 803, and the medicine basket slides out along the inclined surface to the drying outlet 803 under the action of gravity, and is discharged through the drying outlet 803." For example, a second inclined extension section 8017 can be set inside the drying chamber 801 at a position corresponding to the drying outlet 803 (see [reference]). Figure 24 The second inclined extension section 8017 is used to catch the medicine basket 50 that slides out of the medicine basket tray 806, and then discharges from the drying outlet 803. If the position of the inlet end of the drying outlet 803 is just enough to catch the medicine basket 50 that slides out of the medicine basket tray 806, the second inclined extension section 8017 may not be provided (see [reference]). Figure 23 ).

[0053] In some embodiments, the drying outlet 803 is equipped with a door curtain made of heat-resistant material; the door curtain replaces the gravity-triggered rotating door assembly. When discharging, the medicine basket 50 lifts the door curtain by gravity to discharge the medicine. After the medicine basket 50 passes through, the door curtain can automatically return to its original position so that the drying chamber 804 is relatively closed.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cyclic operation of the closed-loop transmission chain 805 is driven by a first drive mechanism, which includes a second drive motor 8016, a drive wheel 8018, a driven wheel 8019, a transmission sprocket set, a drive shaft, and a transmission chain 8020. The drive wheel 8018 is connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 8016. The transmission sprocket set includes at least three transmission sprockets 8021, each of which is rotatably and independently mounted on the inner wall of the drying chamber 801. One end of the drive shaft is fixedly fitted with the driven wheel 8019, and the other end is fixedly fitted with a transmission sprocket 8021. The transmission chain 8020 loops around the drive wheel 8018 and the driven wheel 8019 to transmit rotational power. The closed-loop transmission chain 805 loops around all the transmission sprockets 8021 to form a chain-type closed-loop transmission. During operation, the second drive motor 8016 drives the drive wheel 8018 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel 8019 to rotate. The driven wheel 8019 drives a corresponding transmission sprocket 8021 to rotate via a transmission shaft, ultimately driving the closed-loop transmission chain 805 to rotate cyclically. The first drive mechanism may also include a speed reducer. When a speed reducer is provided, the input shaft of the speed reducer is connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 8016, and the drive wheel 8018 is connected to the output shaft of the speed reducer.

[0055] In some embodiments, the hot air assembly further includes a fan 8022, the air inlet of the air supply channel is connected to an external air source through the fan 8022, and the fan 8022 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0056] In some embodiments, the drive sprocket 8021 is mounted on the inner wall of the drying chamber 801 via a sprocket mounting plate 8011. A third mounting bracket 8024 is provided inside the drying chamber 804, mounted on the inner wall of the drying chamber 801. This third mounting bracket 8024 accommodates the fan 8022 and the heater 807. An air outlet 808 with an air supply channel is provided on the outer wall of the third mounting bracket 8024. The discharge baffle 8010 is located on the outer wall of the third mounting bracket 8024, below the air outlet 808. The drying discharge port 803 is formed on the side wall of the drying chamber 801, its position corresponding to the positions of the discharge baffle 8010 and the medicine basket tray 806. The drive sprocket assembly includes four drive sprockets 8021, which are arranged around the third mounting bracket 8024 in a rectangular arrangement.

[0057] In some embodiments, the air outlet 808 of the air supply channel is located above the drying inlet 802 and the drying outlet 803; the bottom of the drying chamber 801 is provided with casters 8023.

[0058] In some embodiments, a second partition 8025 is provided below the drying chamber 801, which divides the internal space of the drying chamber 801 into an upper drying chamber 804 and a lower mounting chamber 8026. A second drive motor 8016 is disposed in the mounting chamber 8026.

[0059] In some embodiments, the drying chamber 801 is provided with an insulation shell 8031 ​​on the outside, and the insulation shell 8031 ​​is located on the side opposite to the drying inlet 802; the insulation layer is located on the inside of the insulation shell 8031.

[0060] In some embodiments, a temperature sensor is installed inside the drying chamber 801, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature inside the drying chamber 804 in real time and feed the information back to the controller, so that the controller can adjust the working state of the heater 807 in a timely manner according to the difference between the actual temperature and the set temperature, ensuring that the temperature inside the drying chamber 804 is stable within the optimal drying range.

[0061] In some embodiments, the stacking basket mechanism 90 includes: A basket conveyor assembly, including a horizontal conveyor belt; The lifting assembly is disposed on the conveying path of the horizontal conveyor belt and includes a vertically lifting basket pallet 902 and a lifting mechanism 903 that drives its lifting. The initial position of the basket pallet 902 is lower than the plane of the horizontal conveyor belt. The stacking basket assembly includes at least two rotatable stacking basket wedges 904 arranged around the periphery of the basket body support plate 902, and the stacking basket wedges 904 are provided with support portions 9025 for hooking the edge of the basket body 501; The drive mechanism of the horizontal conveyor belt and the lifting mechanism 903 of the lifting assembly are electrically connected to the controller to control the timing of the conveying and lifting actions. The initial position of the stacking wedge 904 encroaches on the lifting path space of the basket 501. When the basket 501 is lifted by the basket support plate 902, the stacking wedge 904 rotates to avoid the lateral pressure of the basket 501. When the basket 501 falls back after reaching the set height, the stacking wedge 904 rotates in the opposite direction to reset, so that the supporting part 9025 hooks onto the edge of the basket 501 to achieve suspension and positioning. The stacking mechanism 90 delivers the dried baskets 501 to the basket support plate 902 through the basket conveying assembly. The lifting assembly drives the basket support plate 902 to rise. With the rotation and reset support of the stacking wedge 904, the baskets 501 are automatically stacked. The stacking can be completed without manual intervention, reducing human input and contact risks. At the same time, the controller coordinates the timing of actions to ensure that the stacking process is orderly and stable, improves the overall automation efficiency of the process, and solves the problem of tedious manual stacking.

[0062] In some embodiments, the basket conveying unit further includes a second mounting frame 908 and a horizontal support plate 909 disposed on the top surface of the second mounting frame 908; The horizontal conveyor belt includes a first conveyor belt 9010 and a second conveyor belt 9011 arranged parallel to both sides of the horizontal support plate 909. The distance between the first conveyor belt 9010 and the second conveyor belt 9011 is less than the width of the basket 501. When the basket 501 is placed, it satisfies the following condition: the bottom areas on both sides of the basket 501 are supported on the first conveyor belt 9010 and the second conveyor belt 9011 respectively. The horizontal support plate 909 has a lifting through hole 9012 at the position corresponding to the basket support plate 902, which is adapted to the size of the basket support plate 902. The horizontal support plate 909 of the basket conveying unit provides support for the first conveyor belt 9010 and the second conveyor belt 9011, which provide power for the conveying of the basket 501; the lifting through hole 9012 on the horizontal support plate 909 reserves space for the lifting of the basket support plate 902, avoiding structural interference. This design ensures the stability of the basket 501 conveying and provides a structural basis for the lifting and stacking action, ensuring smooth operation of the stacking process.

[0063] In some embodiments, two guide rods 9013 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying path of the basket 501. The two guide rods 9013 are respectively arranged on the outer side of the first conveyor belt 9010 and the second conveyor belt 9011. Each guide rod 9013 includes a guide rod body 9028 arranged parallel to the conveying direction and a guide head end 9029 connected to the end of the guide rod body 9028. The guide head end 9029 is located on the feeding side of the basket 501. The guide head ends 9029 of the two guide rods 9013 form an outward V-shape layout, which can guide the basket 501 into the conveying path. The two guide rod bodies 9028 can prevent the basket 501 from shifting or misaligning during conveying, thereby improving the accuracy of stacking baskets.

[0064] In some embodiments, the stacking basket wedge 904 has a rod-shaped body 9024, the middle of which is rotatably connected to the third mounting brackets 9015 on both sides of the conveyor belt via a sixth pivot 9014; the support portion 9025 is fixed to the first end of the rod-shaped body 9024, and the support portion 9025 includes a guide ramp 9026 for guiding the basket 501 to rise during the lifting stage and a support plane 9027 for catching the flange 502 of the basket 501 when the basket 501 falls back; The stacking basket unit further includes a force balancing component, which is connected to the second end of the rod-shaped body 9024. The force balancing component includes: The return spring 9016 provides the tension that causes the support portion 9025 to rise; The pull-down assembly provides the pulling force to lower the support 9025. The guide slope 9026 of the stacking wedge 904 facilitates compression and avoidance when the basket 501 is lifted, and the support plane 9027 can stably hold the flange 502 of the basket 501. The return spring 9016 of the force balance assembly cooperates with the pull-down assembly to allow the wedge to rotate flexibly and return precisely, ensuring reliable stacking operation. This structure requires no additional drive components, simplifying the design while ensuring stacking stability and improving the working efficiency and reliability of the stacking mechanism 90.

[0065] In some embodiments, the reset spring 9016 is connected to the third mounting bracket 9015 via the third mounting plate 9023.

[0066] In some embodiments, the pull-down assembly is a cylinder-driven structure, comprising a servo cylinder 9017 and a connecting rod 9018 connected to the output end of the servo cylinder 9017, the other end of the connecting rod 9018 being connected to the second end of the rod-shaped body 9024; the servo cylinder 9017 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0067] In some embodiments, the basket support plate 902 has a rectangular structure, the width of the basket support plate 902 is adapted to the width of the basket 501, and the length of the basket support plate 902 is less than the length of the basket 501; there are four stacking basket wedges 904, respectively disposed on both sides of the basket support plate 902; two stacking basket wedges 904 disposed on the same side of the basket support plate 902 are connected by a third connecting rod 9019, and the connecting rod 9018 is connected to the rod-shaped body 9024 of the stacking basket wedge 904 through the third connecting rod 9019. It can be understood that the two stacking basket wedges 904 on the same side of the basket support plate 902 are connected by the third connecting rod 9019, and the connecting rod 9018 is connected to the third connecting rod 9019. Whether the medicine basket 50 is squeezed and avoided when it is lifted, or reset and supported under the control of the force balance component, the consistency of the two actions is stronger, which can avoid uneven force on the medicine basket 50 caused by the deviation of the action of a single stacking basket wedge 904. Meanwhile, the third connecting rod 9019 enhances the structural integrity of the same-side stacking wedge block 904, reduces deformation or loosening during long-term use, improves the stability and reliability of the stacking wedge block 904's movement, and ensures precise and controllable stacking process.

[0068] In some embodiments, the basket pallet 902 is provided with: a first baffle 905, vertically fixed to the feeding side of the basket 501; and a second baffle 906, vertically fixed to the discharging side of the basket 501. The height of the first baffle 905 is less than the height of the second baffle 906. When the basket pallet 902 is in the feeding position: the top of the first baffle 905 is lower than or flush with the conveyor belt plane, and the top of the second baffle 906 is higher than the conveyor belt plane. When the basket pallet 902 is in the discharging position, the top of the second baffle 906 is flush with the conveyor belt plane. It is understood that the first baffle 905 and the second baffle 906 on the basket pallet 902 have different heights and are adjusted in conjunction with the pallet's lifting and lowering state. During feeding, the second baffle 906 is higher than the conveyor belt, preventing excessive conveying of the basket 501, while the first baffle 905 does not affect the entry of the basket 501. During discharging, the second baffle 906 is flush with the conveyor belt, facilitating the removal of stacked baskets 501. This design precisely limits the position of the basket 501 on the pallet, ensuring that the basket 501 is aligned when stacking baskets, while not obstructing the feeding and discharging of materials, thus improving the accuracy of stacking and the smoothness of the process.

[0069] In some embodiments, a second sensor 907 is also included for detecting whether the basket 501 has reached the basket tray 902, the second sensor 907 being electrically connected to the controller.

[0070] In some embodiments, the third mounting bracket 9015 is also provided with an anti-tipping structure to prevent the stacked baskets 501 from tipping over; the lifting mechanism 903 is a cylinder-driven mechanism or a motor screw-driven mechanism.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second mounting bracket 908 has a first housing 9020 on its outer side, the third mounting bracket 9015 has a second housing 9021 on its outer side, and the third mounting bracket 9015 has a top cover 9022 on its top, which is connected to the second housing 9021.

[0072] In some embodiments, the system also includes a main water inlet pipe 120 and a first water inlet branch pipe 1201, a second water inlet branch pipe 1202, and a third water inlet branch pipe 1203 connected to the main water inlet pipe 120; the first water inlet branch pipe 1201, the second water inlet branch pipe 1202, and the third water inlet branch pipe 1203 are respectively connected to the first liquid inlet pipe of the soaking mechanism 10, the second liquid inlet pipe 406 of the cleaning mechanism 40, and the third liquid inlet pipe 6026 of the rinsing and dehydration mechanism 60.

[0073] In some embodiments, the system also includes a mounting frame 100 and an outer casing 110 located outside the mounting frame 100. The mounting frame 100 is used to mount the soaking mechanism 10, the first pushing mechanism 20, the basket separating mechanism 30, the washing mechanism 40, the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60, and the water-blocking device 70. When installing the fully automatic basket washing machine, the soaking mechanism 10, the first pushing mechanism 20, the basket separating mechanism 30, the washing mechanism 40, the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60, and the water-blocking device 70 can be installed in their respective positions using the mounting frame 100. Then, the drying mechanism 80 and the basket stacking mechanism 90 can be installed sequentially.

[0074] In some implementations, the controller is a PLC.

[0075] The working process of the fully automatic crate washing machine in this application is as follows: S10, Initial loading: The stacked medicine baskets 50 are manually placed onto multiple soaking stations 103 of the soaking support platform 101 of the soaking mechanism 10; S20. Soaking treatment: The controller starts the lifting actuator of the soaking support platform 101 to lower the soaking support platform 101 carrying the medicine basket 50 into the soaking liquid in the soaking tank 102 to soak the medicine basket 50; after soaking, the lifting actuator of the soaking support platform 101 drives the soaking support platform 101 to rise to the set discharge height. S30, First transfer: The first pushing mechanism 20 is started, the first pushing motor 203 drives the pushing gear 206 to mesh with the pushing rack 207, and drives the pushing rod 205 to move along the pushing slide rail 202, pushing the soaked medicine basket 50 away from the soaking support platform 101, and into the basket separating mechanism 30 through the discharge port of the soaking mechanism 10, until the medicine basket 50 abuts against the second limit baffle 3032, and the medicine basket 50 is located on the basket separating station 303 of the basket separating mechanism 30; S40, Crate Separation Processing: The guide support plate 307 of the cricket separation mechanism 30 is in the working position, supporting the stacked medicine crates 50 that have entered; the cricket separation drive assembly drives the cricket separation wheel 306 to rotate, causing the lowest medicine crate 50 to fall through its descending step surface 3011, while supporting the upper medicine crates 50; the guide drive assembly drives the guide support plate 307 to switch to the clearance position, and a single medicine crate 50 is lowered through the cricket separation through hole 304 to the cleaning support platform 403 of the cleaning mechanism 40; S50, Cleaning process: The cleaning support platform 403 lowers the medicine basket 50 into the cleaning fluid of the cleaning tank 401, and the ultrasonic generator 402 is activated; the buoyancy body 4014 is driven by the buoyancy to rotate the first limit rod 4013, and the pressing end 4015 presses down on the medicine basket 50 to keep it submerged; after cleaning is completed, the cleaning support platform 403 rises and leaves the cleaning fluid, and the buoyancy body 4014 causes the pressing end 4015 to detach from the medicine basket 50 under the action of gravity; S60, Second transfer: The second pushing mechanism is started, and the second pushing motor 4012 drives the pushing chain 404 to move the pushing plate 405, pushing the cleaned medicine basket 50 away from the cleaning support platform 403, and entering the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60 through the discharge port of the cleaning mechanism 40, until the medicine basket 50 enters the receiving cavity of the cage 604 from the feeding channel 602 of the rinsing tank 601, and the medicine basket 50 is located on the rinsing station 6025 of the rinsing and dewatering mechanism 60; S70, Rinsing and Dewatering Treatment: The feed inlet opening and closing component closes the cage inlet 606 and the cage outlet; the cleaning nozzle 609 of the cleaning component sprays rinsing water into the cage 604, while the rotation drive component drives the cage 604 to rotate to achieve rinsing; after rinsing, the cage 604 rotates at high speed to dewater by centrifugal force; after dewatering, the feed inlet opening and closing component opens the cage outlet, and the medicine basket 50 is moved out through the discharge channel 603 of the rinsing box 601; S80, Water-blocking transition: The drive mechanism of the water-blocking device 70 drives the water-blocking plate 701 to rise to the release position, allowing the dehydrated medicine basket 50 to pass through; the medicine basket 50, which is removed from the discharge channel 603 of the rinsing tank 601, automatically slides into the medicine basket tray 806 from the drying inlet 802 of the drying mechanism 80 (the closed-loop transmission chain 805 is paused during feeding). After the medicine basket 50 enters the drying mechanism 80, the water-blocking plate 701 descends to the interception position to prevent water from entering the drying mechanism 80. S90, Drying process: Closed-loop transmission chain 805 drives the medicine basket tray 806 along... Figure 23 The system operates in the direction of arrow a, while the heater 807 of the hot air assembly heats the air and blows hot air into the medicine basket 50 through the air delivery channel for drying. When the medicine basket tray 806 moves to the discharge stop 8010, it is forced to tilt. Under the action of gravity, the medicine basket 50 slides out through the gravity-triggered rotating door assembly of the drying discharge port 803 onto the horizontal conveyor belt of the stacking mechanism 90. S100, Stacking Process: The dried medicine baskets 50 are conveyed by the horizontal conveyor belt of the basket conveyor assembly to the basket support plate 902 of the lifting assembly; after the second sensor 907 detects that the medicine baskets 50 are in place, the lifting mechanism 903 drives the basket support plate 902 to rise, and the stacking wedge block 904 is squeezed and rotated to avoid it; after the medicine baskets 50 rise to the set height, they fall back, the stacking wedge block 904 resets, and the support part 9025 hooks the edge of the medicine baskets 50; the above actions are repeated to realize the automatic stacking of medicine baskets 50; after stacking is completed, the lifting mechanism 903 rises and lifts the stacked medicine baskets 50, so that they are separated from the stacking wedge block 902. The supporting plane 9027 of 04; the pull-down component of the force balance mechanism pulls down the stacking wedge 904, and the stacking wedge 904 rotates to avoid it; then the controller controls the lifting mechanism 903 to drive the basket support plate 902 to descend to the discharge station. At this time, the top of the second baffle 906 is flush with the horizontal conveyor belt plane, and the stacked medicine baskets 50 fall back onto the first conveyor belt 9010 and the second conveyor belt 9011. They are then limited and transported to the discharge side by the guide rod 9013, completing one stacking operation; the above process coordinates the action sequence of each link through the controller to realize the fully automatic cleaning process of the medicine baskets 50 from soaking to stacking.
