Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, and in particular to a medicinal material cleaning and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] The processing of medicinal materials requires a cleaning step. Cleaning removes impurities from the surface of the medicinal materials to ensure their cleanliness. After cleaning, the medicinal materials are dried and then packaged.

[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN220111793U discloses a user-friendly medicinal herb cleaning device, comprising: a cleaning platform and a cleaning frame. A cleaning box is embedded in the cleaning platform, and a cleaning rack is installed on the upper part of the cleaning platform. Limiting end plates are fixed on both sides of the cleaning frame, and lifting grooves are formed on the limiting end plates. A handle is rotatably installed in the lifting grooves. A limiting groove is also formed on the upper part of the cleaning platform, and the limiting end plates on both sides of the cleaning frame are inserted into the limiting grooves.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has some drawbacks in actual use. The most obvious one is that after the medicinal materials are cleaned, the cleaning water can only be discharged by gravity. After the cleaning water is discharged, a lot of cleaning water will still remain on the surface of the medicinal materials. This results in a longer time to dry the medicinal materials. At the same time, the hot air generated during the drying process will enter the working environment, which will cause the working environment to heat up and cause discomfort to the staff.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a medicinal herb cleaning and drying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medicinal herb cleaning and drying device. After cleaning, it can remove residual cleaning water from the surface of the medicinal herbs, thereby shortening the drying time. In addition, it can use the cleaning wastewater to cool the drying exhaust gas, thus preventing the drying exhaust gas from entering the working environment. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art where, after cleaning the medicinal herbs, the cleaning water can only be discharged by gravity, and after the cleaning water is discharged, a lot of cleaning water will still remain on the surface of the medicinal herbs. This leads to a longer drying time for the medicinal herbs. At the same time, the hot air generated during the drying process will enter the working environment, causing the working environment to heat up and causing discomfort to the staff.

[0007] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: a medicinal material washing and drying device, comprising:

[0008] A cleaning table, which is used to install a cleaning and drying mechanism and a centrifuge holding mechanism;

[0009] A cleaning and drying mechanism, used for cleaning and drying medicinal materials; and

[0010] A centrifuge holding mechanism, comprising a movable ring, a holding mesh bucket, a limiting plate, a gear ring, a drive motor, and gears;

[0011] The movable ring is rotatably sleeved on the top of the outer side of the cleaning tank via a bearing. A limiting groove is formed on the top of the movable ring. The holding net bucket is located inside the cleaning tank. The limiting plate is fixedly sleeved on the top of the outer side of the holding net bucket and located inside the limiting groove. The toothed ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the movable ring. The drive motor is fixedly installed inside the cleaning table. The gear meshes with the toothed ring and is connected to the drive motor for transmission.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the medicinal material cleaning and drying apparatus of the present disclosure, the cleaning and drying mechanism includes a cleaning tank, which is fixedly nested on the top of the cleaning platform and extends into the inner side of the cleaning platform, and a first drain pipe is fixedly provided through the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment of the medicinal material cleaning and drying apparatus of this disclosure, the cleaning and drying mechanism further includes a wastewater tank, which is fixedly installed inside the cleaning platform. A second drain pipe is fixedly installed through the front of the wastewater tank, and both the first drain pipe and the second drain pipe are equipped with shut-off valves.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the medicinal material washing and drying apparatus of the present disclosure, the washing and drying mechanism further includes an exhaust pipe, the top end of which is fixedly disposed through the top side of the washing tank, and the bottom end of which is fixedly disposed through the bottom side of the wastewater tank.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment of the medicinal material cleaning and drying apparatus of this disclosure, the cleaning and drying mechanism further includes a sealing cover, an air inlet pipe and a hot air blower. The sealing cover is movably connected to the top of the cleaning table via a hinge. The air inlet pipe is fixedly disposed through the side of the sealing cover. The hot air blower is fixedly connected to the input end of the air inlet pipe and fixedly disposed on the top of the cleaning table.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention features a centrifugal holding mechanism to facilitate the placement of medicinal materials to be cleaned into the holding mesh bucket. A limiting plate then guides the holding mesh bucket into the cleaning tank. At this point, the four corners of the limiting plate engage with the four limiting slots at the top of the movable ring. The drive motor is then activated, rotating a gear that, through a gear ring, drives the movable ring to rotate. The rotating movable ring, in turn, causes the holding mesh bucket to rotate within the cleaning tank via the limiting plate. Cleaning water from inside the cleaning tank passes through the outer wall of the holding mesh bucket and enters its interior to clean the medicinal materials. After cleaning, the shut-off valve on the first drain pipe is opened, allowing the cleaning water from the cleaning tank to drain into the... Inside the wastewater tank, the residual washing water on the surface of the medicinal materials is removed by the centrifugal force generated during the rotation of the holding mesh bucket. Then, the sealing cover is flipped forward to close it, and the hot air fan is started. The hot air fan injects hot air into the sealing cover through the air inlet pipe. The hot air dries the washed medicinal materials through the opening at the top of the holding mesh bucket. The dried exhaust gas enters the wastewater inside the wastewater tank through the exhaust pipe for cooling. Compared with existing similar devices, this utility model can remove the residual washing water on the surface of the medicinal materials after washing, thereby shortening the drying time. In addition, the washing wastewater can be used to cool the drying exhaust gas, thereby preventing the drying exhaust gas from entering the working environment. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a medicinal material washing and drying apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of the cleaning and drying mechanism 2 and the holding and centrifuging mechanism 3 of a medicinal material cleaning and drying apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0029] Figure 3 This is a partial structural diagram of the cleaning and drying mechanism 2 of a medicinal material cleaning and drying apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the medicinal material cleaning and drying device disclosed herein may include components such as a cleaning table 1, a cleaning and drying mechanism 2, and a centrifugal holding mechanism 3.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in this disclosure, the cleaning and drying mechanism 2 includes a cleaning tank 21, a wastewater pool 22, an exhaust pipe 23, a sealing cover 24, an air inlet pipe 25, and a hot air blower 26. The cleaning tank 21 is fixedly nested on the top of the cleaning platform 1 and extends into the inner side of the cleaning platform 1. A first drain pipe is fixedly installed through the bottom of the cleaning tank 21. The wastewater pool 22 is fixedly installed inside the cleaning platform 1. A second drain pipe is fixedly installed through the front of the wastewater pool 22. Both the first and second drain pipes are equipped with shut-off valves. The top end of the exhaust pipe 23 is fixedly installed through the top side of the cleaning tank 21, and the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 23 is fixedly installed through the bottom side of the wastewater pool 22. The sealing cover 24 is movably connected to the top of the cleaning platform 1 via a hinge. The air inlet pipe 25 is fixedly installed through the side of the sealing cover 24. The hot air blower 26 is fixedly connected to the input end of the air inlet pipe 25 and is fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning platform 1.

[0032] Therefore, the sealing cover 24 can be flipped forward to close it and the hot air blower 26 can be started. The hot air blower 26 injects hot air into the sealing cover 24 through the air inlet pipe 25. The hot air dries the cleaned medicinal materials through the top opening of the holding mesh barrel 32. The dried exhaust gas enters the wastewater inside the wastewater pool 22 through the exhaust pipe 23 for cooling. Compared with existing similar devices, the cleaning wastewater can be used to cool the drying exhaust gas, thereby preventing the drying exhaust gas from entering the working environment.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the centrifugal holding mechanism 3 includes a movable ring 31, a holding mesh bucket 32, a limiting plate 33, a gear ring 34, a drive motor 35, and a gear 36. The movable ring 31 is rotatably sleeved on the top of the outer side of the cleaning tank 21 via a bearing, and a limiting groove is formed on the top of the movable ring 31. The holding mesh bucket 32 ​​is located inside the cleaning tank 21. The limiting plate 33 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the outer side of the holding mesh bucket 32 ​​and located inside the limiting groove. The gear ring 34 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the movable ring 31. The drive motor 35 is fixedly installed inside the cleaning platform 1. The gear 36 meshes with the gear ring 34 and is connected to the drive motor 35 for transmission.

[0034] Therefore, the medicinal materials to be cleaned are placed inside the holding mesh bucket 32, and then the holding mesh bucket 32 ​​is placed inside the cleaning tank 21 by the limiting plate 33. At this time, the four corners of the limiting plate 33 enter the four limiting slots at the top of the movable ring 31. Then, the drive motor 35 is started. After the drive motor 35 starts, it drives the gear 36 to rotate. When the gear 36 rotates, it drives the movable ring 31 to rotate through the gear ring 34. When the movable ring 31 rotates, it drives the holding mesh bucket 32 ​​to rotate inside the cleaning tank 21 through the limiting plate 33. The cleaning water inside the cleaning tank 21 passes through the outer wall of the holding mesh barrel 32 and enters the inner side of the holding mesh barrel 32 to clean the medicinal materials. After cleaning, the shut-off valve on the first drain pipe is opened, and the cleaning water inside the cleaning tank 21 falls into the inner side of the wastewater pool 22 through the first drain pipe. The cleaning water remaining on the surface of the medicinal materials is removed by the centrifugal force generated during the rotation of the holding mesh barrel 32. Compared with existing similar devices, the cleaning water remaining on the surface of the medicinal materials can be cleaned after cleaning, thereby shortening the drying time.

[0035] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0036] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
