[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pre-soaking and cleaning machine for Chinese herbal medicines includes: a base box 20, which is a rectangular box with a hollow interior and an open top. Support legs are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base box 20. Water-filling pipes are installed inside the cavity of the base box 20. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning structure is located on the top of the base box 20 for cleaning Chinese herbal medicines. The cleaning structure includes: a fixed frame 23, a cleaning cylinder 30, a rotating ring 32, and a lever 34. The fixed frame 23 is fixedly connected to the cavity of the base box 20. The cleaning cylinder 30 is rotatably connected to the wall of the fixed frame 23. The rotating ring 32 is fixedly connected to the wall of the cleaning cylinder 30. The lever 34 is fixedly connected to the wall of the cleaning cylinder 30. The cleaning cylinder 30 is cylindrical, and the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30 can be used to clean Chinese herbal medicines.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cleaning cylinder 30 is horizontally placed on top of the fixed frame 23. A lever 34 is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30. The lever 34 is an isosceles trapezoidal block with rounded edges. Multiple levers 34 are evenly arranged inside the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30, with equal spacing between adjacent levers 34. The rotating ring 32 is circular, with openings on the front and rear walls of the cleaning cylinder 30. The fixed frame 23 is symmetrically arranged inside the cavity of the base box 20. The fixed frame 23 is Y-shaped, with a semi-circular top opening for each fixed frame 23. Each top opening of the fixed frame 23 has a groove adapted to the thickness of the rotating ring 32. The cleaning cylinder 30 is rotatably connected to the wall of the fixed frame 23 via the rotating ring 32. The cleaning structure also includes a support 21, a main gear 22, a meshing gear 31, and a drain hole 33. The support 21 is symmetrically fixed. The main gear 22 is rotatably connected between symmetrical supports 21 and connected to the cavity of the base box 20. The meshing teeth 31 are fixedly connected to the middle section of the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder 30. The drain hole 33 is opened through the wall of the cleaning cylinder 30. The wall of the support 21 is also equipped with a motor. The main gear 22 is gear-shaped. The wall of the main gear 22 can mesh with the meshing teeth 31. The drain hole 33 is a circular hole. Multiple drain holes 33 are evenly opened on the wall of the cleaning cylinder 30. The cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30 is provided with a net structure. The net structure includes a drain frame 40, an alignment hole 41, a limiting edge 42 and a connecting plate 43. The drain frame 40 is snapped into the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30. The alignment hole 41 is opened on the wall of the drain frame 40. The limiting edge 42 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the front and rear walls of the drain frame 40. The connecting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting edge 42.
[0031] In practical use, first, add all the Chinese herbs to be soaked and cleaned into the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30, and then add cleaning water into the cavity of the base box 20 through the pipe inside the base box 20, ensuring the water submerges the Chinese herbs in the cleaning cylinder 30. At this point, start the motor on the wall of the bracket 21. When the motor is turned on, it drives the main gear 22 to rotate. The main gear 22, when rotating, meshes with the gear 31, causing the cleaning cylinder 30 to rotate. As the cleaning cylinder 30 rotates, it drives the rotating ring 32 to move along the corresponding solid... The frame 23 rotates within the opening, and when the cleaning cylinder 30 rotates, it can drive the paddle 34 to rotate. The rotating paddle 34 can turn over the Chinese herbal medicine in the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30. After the Chinese herbal medicine in the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30 is cleaned, the bolt on the wall of the connecting plate 43 at the bottom is turned to unlock the connecting plate 43. At this time, the limiting edge 42 at the bottom is held and taken out from the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30. When the limiting edge 42 is taken out, it can drive the strainer 40 to scoop out the Chinese herbal medicine in the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30. The soaking and cleaning is now complete.
[0032] In summary, by setting up a cleaning structure, the herbs can be cleaned by agitating them during soaking. The cleaning structure uses rounded corners of the paddle 34 to agitate the soaking herbs, effectively avoiding damage to the herbs. Therefore, compared with the prior art, this solution does not damage the herbs or affect their efficacy during soaking and cleaning.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the alignment hole 41 can be adapted to the size of each lever 34. Multiple alignment holes 41 are evenly opened on the wall of the filter frame 40. The limiting edge 42 is a semi-circular plate. Bolts are installed on the wall of the connecting plate 43. Screw holes are opened on the wall of the rotating ring 32. The bolts on the wall of the connecting plate 43 can pass through the connecting plate 43 and enter the screw holes on the wall of the rotating ring 32. A net structure is symmetrically arranged inside the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30.
[0034] In practical use, when the device needs maintenance, the rotating ring 32 can be directly removed from the opening at the top of the bracket 23. During installation, align the position of each rotating ring 32 with the opening at the top of the bracket 23 and mesh the meshing teeth 31 and the main gear 22.
[0035] In summary, the detachable cleaning cylinder 30 facilitates the maintenance of the device, and the net structure allows for the rapid collection and removal of the cleaned Chinese herbal medicines from the cleaning cylinder 30, thereby reducing the workload of the staff.
[0036] Working principle: First, all the Chinese herbs to be soaked and cleaned are added into the cavity of the cleaning cylinder 30. Cleaning water is then added to the cavity of the base box 20 through a pipe, ensuring the water submerges the herbs in the cleaning cylinder 30. At this point, the motor on the wall of the support 21 is activated. When the motor is turned on, it drives the main gear 22 to rotate. The main gear 22, when rotating, meshes with the gear 31, causing the cleaning cylinder 30 to rotate. As the cleaning cylinder 30 rotates, it drives the rotating ring 32 to move along the corresponding fixed frame. The tube 23 rotates within the opening, and the rotating cleaning tube 30 drives the paddle 34 to rotate as well. The rotating paddle 34 can turn over the Chinese herbal medicines inside the cleaning tube 30. After the Chinese herbal medicines inside the cleaning tube 30 are cleaned, the bolts on the wall of the bottom connecting plate 43 are turned to unlock the connecting plate 43. At this time, the bottom limiting edge 42 is held and removed from the cleaning tube 30. When the limiting edge 42 is removed, it can drive the strainer 40 to scoop out the Chinese herbal medicines inside the cleaning tube 30. The soaking and cleaning is now complete.
