Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicinal material cleaning machines, in particular to a cleaning device which is beneficial to retaining effective components of Chinese medicinal materials. Background Art
[0002] Since Chinese medicinal materials are usually picked from the mountains or planted in the soil, before the production and preparation of Chinese medicinal pieces, the cleaning method is usually selected according to the type of medicinal materials to prevent mud and debris from mixing into them and affecting drinking. The cleaning methods for different parts of plant medicines are different. Flower medicines such as honeysuckle and chrysanthemum are generally not soaked in water, because the active ingredients of the flower buds are easily soluble in water, reducing the efficacy of the medicine. It is recommended to simply rinse.
[0003] Plant leaves (such as senna leaves), fruits (such as wolfberries), and rhizomes (such as Panax notoginseng and Astragalus) are prone to residual dust during processing and preparation, and can be rinsed with clean water. However, in the cleaning operation of plant rhizomes, although the medicinal materials are not soaked in the pool for a long time, they cannot be dried in time after rinsing, or they are left to dry naturally. The medicinal materials are over-soaked, and the residual moisture on the surface of the medicinal materials absorbs the water-soluble substances in the medicinal materials, thereby causing the medicinal materials to lose their efficacy. Based on the above content, a technician in this field has proposed a cleaning device that is conducive to retaining the effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine. Utility Model Content

There are 5 - 7 air-drying and dehydration structures 6 arranged between the support plates 5 close to each other;
[0031] Refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown in the figure: The water washing tank 1 includes a tank body 11, 8 - 10 sediment settling pits 12 opened on the side of the bottom of the inner cavity of the tank body 11, and a sludge discharge port 13 is installed on the rear end surface of the sediment settling pit 12;
[0032] Refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown in the figure: The water washing pipeline 2 includes a water pump 21 fixed at the bottom of the right Chinese herbal medicine transfer mechanism 3, a water suction pipe 22 connected to the water suction port of the water pump 21, and a drain pipe 25 connected to the water discharge port of the water pump 21 and penetrating into the inner cavity of the tank body 11. 10 - 15 branch pipes 24 are connected in series on the pipeline of the drain pipe 25 located in the inner cavity of the tank body 11. A number of water outlet holes are arranged on the top surface of the branch pipe 24;
[0033] Refer to the attached Figure 3 As shown in the figure: The Chinese herbal medicine transfer mechanism 3 includes two support frames 31, two side plates 34 fixed on the top surface of the support frames 31 in an inclined state. A number of driven rollers and a driving roller are rotatably connected between the side plates 34 close to each other. A conveying belt 32 is arranged on the outer circles of the driven rollers and the driving roller, and a driving motor 33 for driving the conveying belt 32 is installed on the top surface of the support frame 31; The feeding end of the roller conveyor 4 is located below the left conveying belt 32.
[0034] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 6 As shown: The air-drying and dehydration structure 6 includes an upper end cover 61 and a lower end cover 63. A servo motor 62 is fixedly connected in the inner cavity of the lower end cover 63, and a fan blade 64 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 62. Ventilation grilles are provided inside both the upper end cover 61 and the lower end cover 63. The ventilation grille inside the lower end cover 63 functions as an air inlet, and the ventilation grille inside the upper end cover 61 functions as an air outlet.
[0035] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 3 and the attached Figure 4 As shown: The trough 11 is integrally in the shape of an inverted isosceles trapezoid, and the left and right ends of the trough 11 are fixedly connected to the mutually adjacent side surfaces of the support frame 31.

[0037] The conveying belt 32 on the right transports the medicinal materials to be cleaned into the trough 11 under the action of rotation. At this time, the water suction pipe 22 extracts external clear water and transports it into the trough 11 through the drain pipe 25. Since the water jet holes on the branch pipe 24 are directed towards the left, while the water flow is discharged from the branch pipe 24 to wash the medicinal materials, the water flow is used to push the medicinal materials to move from right to left. Until the medicinal materials reach the position of the conveying belt 32 on the left and are lifted by it, at the same time, the wet medicinal materials will fall from the conveying belt 32 on the left onto the roller conveyor 4 for transportation. The row of air-drying and dehydration structures 6 at the bottom of the roller conveyor 4 is used to blow dry the water droplets and moisture on the medicinal materials, enabling the medicinal materials to quickly maintain dryness and preventing the problem that the medicinal materials are over-soaked and lose their medicinal effects during the process of transfer or natural drying.
[0038] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described above by way of illustration. Without doubt, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above-mentioned drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
