[0027] The operating principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when in use, the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials are placed on the first conveyor belt 11 outside the outer cover 1, water is injected from the water inlet pipe 20, and the water is discharged from the water outlet pipe 201 to wet the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials. When the wetted rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials are transferred to the scrubbing wheel 23, the first sponge pad 231 presses and wraps the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials. Since the scrubbing wheel 23 is connected to the power motor, the speed of the scrubbing wheel 23 is set to be greater than the moving speed of the first conveyor belt 11. Therefore, the wrapped rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials are quickly taken out and moved to the discharging direction of the first conveyor belt 11. In this process, friction is formed due to the speed difference, that is, the first sponge pad 231 uses the pressing force to rub and remove surface impurities on the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials.
[0029] The rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials that are quickly moved out are then rinsed by the first water spray pipe 21, and the baffle 24 is set to limit the distance that the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials are quickly moved out. At the same time, the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials blocked by the baffle 24 will be turned over, which is more conducive to the second water spray pipe 22 to rinse other positions of the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials.
[0030] The cleaned water flows into the water storage barrel 25 through the through hole 110 on the first conveyor belt 11. Since a four-way valve (not marked) is provided between the water inlet pipe 20 and the water distribution pipe and the two water spraying pipes, when the water storage barrel 25 is nearly full, the connection between the four-way valve and the two water spraying pipes is closed. The water in the water storage barrel 25 is filtered through the filter net 251 and then pumped out by the water pump 26 to the first water spraying pipe 21 and the second water spraying pipe 22 for recycling. A three-way valve (not marked) is provided at the water outlet end of the water pump 26 to communicate with the first water spraying pipe 21 and the second water spraying pipe 22 to avoid interference with the use of the water inlet pipe 20. At the same time, since the flushing water will carry the medicinal molecules of the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials, circulating flushing of the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials is beneficial to compensate for the medicinal properties and reduce the lack of medicinal properties of the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials.
[0031] The cleaned rhizome Chinese medicinal materials are transferred to the second conveyor belt 12 at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 11, and the third sponge pad 123 and the second sponge pad 121 compress and wrap the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials, fully absorb the moisture on the surface of the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials, and ensure that no liquid water is retained on the surface of the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials before entering the drying box 4; wherein, a pressing wheel 3 is provided under the second conveyor belt 12, and the wheel surface of the pressing wheel 3 and the second sponge pad 121 are in an extrusion state, that is, the absorbed moisture is squeezed out and flows down along the wheel surface of the pressing wheel 3 to the water receiving trough 30 for collection, and then flows into the water storage barrel 25 for circulating water spraying, which is also for the purpose of compensating for the medicinal properties and reducing the medicinal properties loss of the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials.
[0032] The dried rhizome Chinese medicinal materials are then sent into the drying box 4 by the second conveyor belt 12. Since the bottom of the drying box 4 is a slope structure, the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials begin to accumulate at the lower end of the slope structure. Figure 1 As shown, the spacing of the partitions 131 is set to be able to catch the fallen rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials. An appropriate gap is retained between the partitions 131 and the outer side of the drying box 4 and does not cause the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials to fall out of the third conveyor belt 13. On the one hand, it is beneficial to fall out impurities that fall off after drying, and on the other hand, it avoids movement interference with the third conveyor belt 13; then, the third conveyor belt 13 is turned on, and the dried rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials move to the right-angled side of the vertical section of the third conveyor belt 13, and are separated by the partitions 131 to achieve the purpose of moving out in batches.
[0033] When the removed rhizome Chinese medicinal materials move to the right-angled side of the horizontal section of the third conveyor belt 13, the fan is turned on, and the blowing pipe 51 blows air to the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials. After multiple rows of blowing treatment, the surface temperature of the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials is reduced, and finally the cleaning and drying operations of the rhizome Chinese medicinal materials are completed.
[0034] It should be noted that in order to fully clean the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials, the water outlet angles of the first water spray pipe 21 and the second water spray pipe 22 are different. In addition to spraying the medicinal materials, the first water spray pipe 21 also needs to slow down the quickly removed medicinal materials to avoid damage on the baffle 24; in addition, in order to prevent the water storage barrel 25 from backflowing into the water receiving trough 30, a switch valve 301 is provided at the water outlet end of the water receiving trough 30.
[0035] In addition, the number of rows of the blowing pipes 51 in the figure is not unique. The drying temperature range of rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials is 30-65°. The conveying speed of the third conveyor belt 13 and the number of rows of the blowing pipes 51 are set to achieve the purpose of reducing the surface temperature of the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials to room temperature. Similarly, the number of the water outlet pipes 201, the first water spray pipes 21 and the second water spray pipes 22 should be adapted to the width of the first conveyor belt 11, so as to fully dry and rinse the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials.
[0036] In the project of use, according to the properties of different rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials, on the one hand, they need to be dried before being removed by the third conveyor belt 13, and on the other hand, the moving speed of the third conveyor belt 13 can be reduced, and they can be removed while being dried, ultimately on the premise of protecting the medicinal properties of the rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials. Accordingly, the power motor, the motor that drives the three conveyor belts to rotate, the drying box 4 and the fan are all connected to the PLC controller so as to adjust the rotation speed and the required drying temperature according to different rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials, so as to achieve the purpose of convenient operation.
