Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0048] As introduced in the background, the deficiencies in the prior art exist, in order to solve the above technical problems, the application provides a feeding and conveying device and a feeding method for traditional Chinese medicine processing.

[0049] Embodiment one: please refer to Figures 1-9The utility model provides a kind of feeding conveying device, including support 1, symmetrically being provided with conveying belt 2 in the inside of support 1, open water tank 3 is installed in the inside of support 1, there are several feeding baskets 4 in array on conveying belt 2, the bottom of feeding basket 4 is wedge-shaped, when feeding, conveying belt 2 drives feeding basket 4 to overturn, realizes feeding;

[0050] Rinse mechanism 5 is arranged in the inside of support 1, and rinse mechanism 5 includes guide slot 51 and reciprocating assembly 52, guide slot 51 is used to guide feeding basket 4 to enter open water tank 3, and reciprocating assembly 52 is used to drive feeding basket 4 to move horizontally reciprocatingly;

[0051] Recycling mechanism 6 is further provided on open water tank 3, and recycling mechanism 6 includes recycling tank 61 and lifting assembly 62, recycling tank 61 is used to recycle defective traditional Chinese medicine, and lifting assembly 62 is used to convey defective traditional Chinese medicine in open water tank 3 to recycling tank 61;

[0052] Guide slot 51 includes two stages of rinse and recycling;

[0053] Rinse stage, guide slot 51 drives feeding basket 4 to enter open water tank 3, then, reciprocating assembly 52 drives feeding basket 4 to move horizontally reciprocatingly, at this time, recycling mechanism 6 is closed;

[0054] Recycling stage, conveying belt 2 drives feeding basket 4 to overturn, then feeding basket 4 drives lifting assembly 62 to operate, and traditional Chinese medicine in open water tank 3 is conveyed to recycling tank 61.

[0055] In use, the root and stem type traditional Chinese medicine to be cleaned is placed in the feeding basket 4, and then the feeding basket 4 is conveyed by the conveying belt 2. When the conveying belt 2 moves to convey the feeding basket 4, the guide groove 51 guides the feeding basket 4, and then the guide groove 51 drives the feeding basket 4 into the open water tank 3. Then the reciprocating assembly 52 operates to drive the feeding basket 4 to move horizontally and reciprocally in the open water tank 3. At this time, the feeding basket 4 drives the traditional Chinese medicine to move reciprocally in the open water tank 3, so as to rinse the traditional Chinese medicine. With the operation of the conveying belt 2, the conveying belt 2 drives the feeding basket 4 to move in the open water tank 3 while reciprocating. At this time, the traditional Chinese medicine is moved and rinsed. After the guide groove 51 drives the feeding basket 4 into the open water tank 3, the root and stem type traditional Chinese medicine with solid texture and large density in the feeding basket 4 will directly sink to the bottom of the feeding basket 4. On the contrary, those traditional Chinese medicines with loose texture, hollow inside or too many residual impurities will float on the water surface of the open water tank 3. Then, with the operation of the conveying belt 2, the guide groove 51 drives the feeding basket 4 to move out of the open water tank 3 again. Then the conveying belt 2 drives the feeding basket 4 to overturn. At this time, the opening of the feeding basket 4 faces downward. Then the traditional Chinese medicine in the feeding basket 4 falls into the external cleaning machine under the action of gravity. Then the conveying belt 2 drives the overturned feeding basket 4 to continue to move. Then the feeding basket 4 contacts with the lifting assembly 62 and drives the lifting assembly 62 to operate. The lifting assembly 62 operates to lift the traditional Chinese medicine floating on the water surface of the open water tank 3 and then convey it into the recovery tank 61. In this way, the traditional Chinese medicine can be conveyed and fed while the soil on the surface of the traditional Chinese medicine is removed, so as to improve the cleaning effect and efficiency of the subsequent cleaning machine. Moreover, the traditional Chinese medicine that may be a defective product can be selected, so as to avoid the problem that a large amount of manual inspection is required subsequently, further improving the practicality and use convenience.

[0058] It should be noted that the diameters of both the driving roller 13 and the driven roller 14 are larger than the distance between adjacent clamping blocks 45.

[0059] Example 3, see Figures 1-9 Unlike Embodiment 2, the reciprocating assembly 52 includes a retainer 521, which is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting rod 47. A triangular plate 41 is fixedly connected to the outside of the retainer 521 by bolts. A slide rail 522 is provided on the inner side of the retainer 521, and a slider 523 is slidably connected to the slide rail 522. The feeding basket 4 is fixedly connected to the slider 523. The reciprocating assembly 52 also includes a rotating shaft 524 and a rack 5210. The rotating shaft 524 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat.

A drive gear 529 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 524. During the rinsing stage, the rack 5210 can drive the drive gear 529 to rotate.

[0060] After the conveyor belt 2 drives the loading basket 4 into the open water tank 3, the drive gear 529 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 524 contacts the rack 5210 as the loading basket 4 moves. Then, as the loading basket 4 moves, the rack 5210 drives the drive gear 529 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 529 drives the rotating shaft 524 to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable 525 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 525 causes the positioning pin 526 to move in a circular motion. The movement of the positioning pin 526 causes the connecting rod 527 to move. The movement of 527 drives the movement of the fixing pin 528, which in turn drives the feeding basket 4 and the slider 523 to move on the slide rail 522. As the turntable 525 rotates, it drives the positioning pin 526, the connecting rod 527, and the fixing pin 528 to move back and forth horizontally. At this time, the feeding basket 4 and the slider 523 move back and forth along the slide rail 522. As the feeding basket 4 moves back and forth continuously, the Chinese medicine in the feeding basket 4 is rinsed, thereby removing the dirt adhering to the surface of the Chinese medicine.

[0062] In use, the opening water tank 3 and the recycling tank 61 are mounted on the support 1 through the mounting racks, then the conveying belt 2 drives the feeding basket 4 to move back after the feeding basket 4 is turned over, then the bottom end of the feeding basket 4 contacts with the arc blocks 623 with the movement of the feeding basket 4, and the feeding basket 4 extrudes the arc blocks 623 with the movement of the feeding basket 4, at this time, the arc blocks 623 move upward, the arc blocks 623 extrude the return springs 624 and drive the fixing rods 622 to move, the fixing rods 622 drive the inclined guide plate 621 to move upward, then the traditional Chinese medicines floating on the water surface of the opening water tank 3 gradually enter the inclined guide plate 621 with the upward movement of the inclined guide plate 621, then the traditional Chinese medicines roll into the recycling tank 61 under the guidance of the inclined guide plate 621, then the return springs 624 drive the arc blocks 623, the fixing rods 622 and the inclined guide plate 621 to return to the original positions after the feeding basket 4 is separated from the arc blocks 623, so that the effect of recycling the traditional Chinese medicines which may be defective products is realized.

[0063] It should be noted that after the bottom of the feeding basket 4 contacts with the arc blocks 623 and drives the arc blocks 623 to move upward, the bottom of the feeding basket 4 can stop the movement of the arc blocks 623, avoiding the problem that the arc blocks 623 cannot completely recycle the traditional Chinese medicines due to the short width of the arc blocks 623.
