[0034] This section will combine Figures 1 to 6Embodiments of the present application are described in detail, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0035] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that if the terms "center", "middle", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like are used to indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, it is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. The features defined as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the feature names, rather than having special meanings. In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0036] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning and drying system, which includes a cleaning device 100, a conveying robot arm 305, and a drying device 401.

[0038] The present application is aimed at cleaning and drying the decoction pot of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction system. The decoction pot includes an inner barrel, an outer barrel, and a barrel cover that can be combined into one. It can be understood that the inner barrel, the outer barrel, and the barrel cover need to be cleaned separately to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to improve the cleaning quality, three cleaning devices 100 are used to clean the inner barrel, the outer barrel, and the barrel cover respectively, and each cleaning device 100 cleans the inner barrel, the outer barrel, and the barrel cover respectively according to the structural characteristics.

[0040] The working platform is in the cleaning device 100, and the conveying robot arm 305 first conveys the parts to be cleaned to the working platform, and performs a cleaning process on the working platform; after the cleaning process is completed, the conveying robot arm 305 conveys the cleaned parts to the drying device 401, and restores the dry state in the drying device 401; after the drying process is completed, the decoction pot is ready for use, and the decoction pot can be reloaded with medicinal materials and decocted with traditional Chinese medicine.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, a cleaning cover 101 is provided on the work platform, and a cleaning process can be performed when the part to be cleaned is inside the cleaning cover 101 .

[0042] Among them, a pipeline, a nozzle and a cleaning brush 202 are arranged inside the cleaning cover 101. The pipeline is connected to the nozzle. The cleaning water is transported to the nozzle along the pipeline and sprayed by the nozzle to the parts to be cleaned inside the cleaning cover 101. The cleaning process is realized by the cleaning brush 202.

[0043] At the same time, the cleaning cover 101 can initially prevent the cleaning water from splashing onto the outside of the working platform, thereby avoiding pollution to the external environment.

[0044] A work station 102 is provided on the work platform, and the parts to be cleaned are transported to the work station 102 by the conveying robot arm 305. During the conveying process, the work station 102 is open on all sides, and there is no physical structure that may interfere with the conveying robot arm 305, thereby avoiding damage caused by structural interference between the robot arm and the parts to be cleaned.

[0045] The parts to be cleaned are cleaned in the working position 102 and are always kept in the working position 102. It is understandable that during the cleaning process, the cleaning cover 101 is also in the working position 102, and the working position 102 and the cleaning cover 101 cover the parts to be cleaned inside, further preventing the cleaning water from splashing outside the work platform.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, when the working platform is used to clean the inner barrel or the outer barrel, the working position 102 is provided with a rotating structure 201, which is approximately located at the center of the working position 102 and can rotate. The conveying robot arm 305 sets the inner barrel or the outer barrel on the rotating structure 201, and the rotating structure 201 extends into the inner barrel or the outer barrel along the opening of the inner barrel or the outer barrel.

[0047] Furthermore, a nozzle and a cleaning brush 202 are provided on the rotating structure 201, and the nozzle on the cleaning brush 202 and the nozzle in the cleaning cover 101 jointly provide water for the cleaning process, and the cleaning brush 202 on the rotating structure 201 and the cleaning brush 202 inside the cleaning cover 101 contact the inner wall of the inner barrel or the outer barrel. Then the cleaning brush 202 continuously rubs against the inner wall of the inner barrel or the outer barrel to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0048] It is understandable that there is a certain difference in the inner diameter of the inner barrel and the outer barrel, so in different cleaning devices 100, the rotating structure 201 and the cleaning brush 202 for cleaning the inner barrel and the rotating structure 201 and the cleaning brush 202 for cleaning the outer barrel have different sizes and positions to achieve different cleaning ranges. The barrel cover does not have an inner wall, so the cleaning device 100 for cleaning the barrel cover does not have a rotating structure 201 and a cleaning brush 202.

[0049] The work platform is provided with a waiting position 103. When the parts to be cleaned are not loaded onto the work platform, the cleaning cover 101 is at the waiting position 103. When the parts to be cleaned are placed at the work position 102 and the conveying robot arm 305 is separated from the parts to be cleaned, the cleaning cover 101 moves to the work position 102, covers the parts to be cleaned inside, and performs the cleaning process. When the cleaning process is completed, the cleaning cover 101 is reset and returns to the waiting position 103. At this time, the conveying robot arm 305 conveys the parts to be cleaned to the drying device 401 for the drying process.

[0050] In some examples, in order to enable the cleaning cover 101 to move between the working position 102 and the material waiting position 103, a movable bracket 105 is provided on the working platform, and the movable bracket 105 is movably connected to the working platform. The cleaning cover 101 is provided on the movable bracket 105, and the movable bracket 105 drives the cleaning cover 101 to move.

[0051] In some examples, a guide rail is provided on the working platform, and the guide rail has a guiding function. A slider is provided on the movable bracket 105, and the slider is engaged with the guide rail to form a sliding connection, so that the slider can move along the guide rail. That is, the movable bracket 105 and the cleaning cover 101 can move along the guide rail to ensure that the cleaning cover 101 can accurately move to the material waiting position 103 and the working position 102.

[0052] In some examples, the cleaning cover 101 is provided with an opening, and when the cleaning cover 101 moves to the working position 102, the loaded parts to be cleaned can enter the cleaning cover 101 along the opening. When the cleaning cover 101 is reset to the waiting position 103, the cleaned parts can be moved out of the range of the cleaning cover 101 along the opening.

[0053] Furthermore, a door structure 107 is provided at the opening, and the door structure 107 can cover or open the opening. When the cleaning cover 101 moves to the working position 102, the door structure 107 opens the opening to avoid the space for the parts to be cleaned to enter the cleaning cover 101, and avoid the interference between the parts to be cleaned and the door structure 107. When the cleaning cover 101 moves to the working position 102, the door structure 107 covers the opening, so that the parts to be cleaned are in a relatively closed space, and the cleaning water is prevented from splashing to the outside of the working platform. At this time, the cleaning process can be started. When the cleaning process is completed, the door structure 107 opens the opening again, avoiding the space for the parts to leave the cleaning cover 101, and avoiding the interference between the parts and the door structure 107.

[0054] To further prevent cleaning water from splashing onto the outside of the work platform, a sealing structure 104 is provided at the work position 102. When the cleaning cover 101 is at the work position 102, the sealing structure 104 blocks the gap between the cleaning cover 101 and the work position 102 to prevent cleaning water from flowing out of the cleaning cover 101 along the gap.

[0055] In some examples, in order to make the cleaning cover 101 close to the sealing structure 104 and thus improve the sealing effect, the mobile bracket 105 is provided with a first driving structure 106, and the mobile bracket 105 and the cleaning cover 101 are connected through the first driving structure 106. The first driving structure 106 can drive the cleaning cover 101 to adjust its height in the vertical direction.

[0056] Among them, the height of the sealing structure 104 is greater than the height of the waiting position 103. In order to avoid interference between the cleaning cover 101 and the sealing structure 104 during the movement from the waiting position 103 to the working position 102, before the cleaning cover 101 moves, the first driving structure 106 drives the cleaning cover 101 to rise to a height higher than the sealing structure 104.

[0057] At the same time, when the cleaning cover 101 reaches the working position 102, the first driving structure 106 drives the cleaning cover 101 to lower its height so that the bottom edge of the cleaning cover 101 presses the sealing structure 104, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0058] Specifically, the first driving structure 106 may adopt any structure that outputs linear motion, such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0059] In some examples, the cleaning and drying system further includes a conveying robot 305, which is used to transfer the parts. Furthermore, a gripper assembly is provided at the working end of the conveying robot 305. Before the cleaning process begins, the gripper assembly grabs the parts to be cleaned and transports the parts to be cleaned to the working position 102. After the cleaning process is completed, the gripper assembly grabs the cleaned parts and transports the cleaned parts to the drying device 401.

[0060] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the gripper assembly includes a frame 301, a plurality of first clamping jaws 302, and a plurality of second clamping jaws 306. The frame 301 is used to support the first clamping jaws 302 and the second clamping jaws 306. On the other hand, the frame 301 is used to guide the movement of each first clamping jaw 302.

[0061] Further, two first clamping jaws 302 are provided, and the two first clamping jaws 302 are located at opposite sides of the part to be cleaned. A slide rail is provided on the frame 301, and the two first clamping jaws 302 are embedded in the slide rail by themselves or through a slider to form a sliding connection, so that the two first clamping jaws 302 can approach or move away from each other along the slide rail. When the two first clamping jaws 302 approach each other, they can clamp the part to be cleaned. When the two first clamping jaws 302 move away from each other, they can release the part to be cleaned.

[0062] Among them, each first clamping jaw 302 is configured as a V-shaped jaw, that is, each first clamping jaw 302 is provided with an abutment portion, which clamps or releases the part to be cleaned as the first clamping jaw 302 moves. The abutment portion has an inclined end surface to adapt to the shape of the part to be cleaned and facilitate the clamping process.

[0063] Meanwhile, two second clamping jaws 306 are provided, and the two second clamping jaws 306 clamp or release the part to be cleaned by approaching or moving away from each other. When the two second clamping jaws 306 approach each other, the part to be cleaned can be clamped. When the two second clamping jaws 306 move away from each other, the part to be cleaned can be released.

[0064] Specifically, each first clamping jaw 302 is used to clamp the inner barrel or the outer barrel in the part to be cleaned, and each second clamping jaw 306 is used to clamp the handle of the barrel cover in the part to be cleaned.

[0065] In some examples, the first clamping jaws 302 are provided with a second driving structure 303, and the second driving structure 303 drives the first clamping jaws 302 to move closer to or away from each other. The second driving structure 303 can be any structure that outputs linear motion, such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0066] Furthermore, the second clamping jaws 306 are provided with a third driving structure 304, and the third driving structure 304 drives the second clamping jaws 306 to move closer to or farther from each other. The third driving structure 304 can be any structure that outputs linear motion, such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0067] In some examples, the cleaning and drying system further includes a drying device 401 , and the drying device 401 is used to dry the cleaned parts. It is understandable that the cleaned parts are transported to the drying device 401 by the transport robot 305 .

[0068] In the description of this specification, if the reference terms "one embodiment", "some examples", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiment", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" appear, it means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0069] The above describes the implementation methods of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above implementation methods. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
