TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to licorice processing equipment technical field, specifically a licorice cleaning device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Licorice is an important traditional Chinese medicinal material, and its processing process includes harvesting, cleaning, sorting, slicing, drying and processing, among which cleaning is particularly important for licorice processing. Currently, licorice is often cleaned by a roller, and after the stems of licorice are loaded into the roller, water is injected for rotation cleaning. After a certain period of rotation, the licorice is finally taken out for rinsing. However, this method cannot timely discharge the mud and impurities cleaned, so that the mud and impurities will repeatedly stick to the licorice, and the cleaning degree is mostly dependent on the final rinsing, so the cleaning degree is not stable enough. Therefore, certain improvement is needed. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the above technical problems, the utility model provides a licorice cleaning device.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model discloses a licorice cleaning device, which comprises a cleaning tank, the bottom of the cleaning tank is inclined in a "V" shape, one end of the bottom of the cleaning tank is provided with a drain pipe, the bottom of the cleaning tank is fixedly connected with a supporting leg, one side of the cleaning tank is rotatably connected with a roller, the main shaft of the roller penetrates the side wall of the cleaning tank and is drivingly connected with a second motor, the second motor is fixedly connected with the cleaning tank through a partition plate, an inclined plate is also fixedly connected in the cleaning tank, a support table is slidingly connected with a slide rod rotatably connected with a screw rod on one side of the top of the cleaning tank, the screw rod penetrates the support table and is screwedly connected therewith, a support frame is fixedly connected with the support table, a spray head is fixedly connected with the support frame, the spray head is communicated with a water source through a hose, a first motor is also fixedly connected with the side wall of the cleaning tank, and the first motor is drivingly connected with the screw rod.
[0005] Further, a baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning tank, and the baffle is located above the roller.
[0006] Further, a cleaning brush is detachably connected to the outer side of the roller.
[0007] Further, a controller is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning tank, and the first motor and the second motor are controlled by the controller.
[0008] Further, the first motor and the screw rod are drivingly connected through bevel gears.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0010] 1. This utility model uses a roller to drive the licorice between the roller and the inclined plate to rotate, while a spray head is used to spray and rinse the licorice in real time. The dirt and other impurities washed off enter the bottom of the cleaning tank along the gap between the roller and the inclined plate, and are finally discharged through the drain pipe. This prevents the licorice from repeatedly sticking with dirt, resulting in a better cleaning effect.
[0011] 2. This utility model uses a first motor to drive a screw to rotate, which in turn drives a support platform connected to it in a linear motion. By changing the direction of the motor at regular intervals, the reciprocating motion of the spray head is finally achieved, which saves water resources compared to multi-point spraying.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] like Figs. 1 to 4 The licorice cleaning device shown includes a cleaning tank 1 with a V-shaped inclined bottom. A drain pipe 17 is provided at the lower end of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. A support leg 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. A roller 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the cleaning tank 1 via a main shaft 12. The main shaft 12 on one side of the roller 2 passes through the side wall of the cleaning tank 1 and is driven by a second motor 14. The second motor 14 is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 1 via a partition 15. An inclined plate 3 is also fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 1 at an incline, with the incline direction facing the roller 2. A screw 4 and a slide rod 5 are rotatably connected to one side of the top of the cleaning tank 1 via a support 7. The slide rod 5 passes through a support platform 6 and is slidably connected to it. The screw 4 also passes through the support platform 6 and is threadedly connected to it. A support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the support platform 6. A spray head 9 is fixedly connected to the support frame 8. The spray head 9 is connected to a water source via a hose 10. A first motor 13 is also fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning tank 1 and is driven by the screw 4.
[0019] In order to prevent part of licorice from being brought into the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 by the roller 2, a baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning tank 1 and located above the roller 2.
[0020] In order to increase the cleaning effect on licorice, a cleaning brush is detachably connected to the outer side of the roller 2, and the cleaning brush is in a convex shape made of rubber.
[0021] In order to facilitate the control of the device, a controller is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning tank 1, and the first motor 13 and the second motor 14 are controlled by the controller.
