Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a device for cleaning medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine processing. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the foundation of TCM treatment. Traditional TCM requires long-term decoction before consumption, which is inefficient. To meet the practical needs of modern people, modern technology produces prepared TCM products for convenient consumption. A large quantity of medicinal herbs are dried and preserved after harvesting. Therefore, before producing prepared TCM products, the herbs need to be thoroughly cleaned to remove impurities and dust to meet the processing requirements. Traditional cleaning involves immersing the herbs in a water tank, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to thoroughly clean. Mud and sand sink to the bottom and remain on the surface after cleaning, affecting subsequent processing and use. Therefore, we propose a medicinal herb cleaning device for preparing prepared TCM products. Utility Model Content

The vibrating screen 5 is inclined downward at the end near the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. Vibration dampers 6 are distributed between the support plate 3 and the vibrating screen 5. The discharge end of the mesh belt conveyor 2 extends outward from the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1, and the draining device is installed at the discharge end of the mesh belt conveyor 2.
[0019] The ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 is provided with a water inlet pipe 13 on one side, and water distribution pipes 14 connected to the water inlet pipe 13 are distributed on the water inlet pipe 13. The ends of the water distribution pipes 14 pass through the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1, and each end of the water distribution pipe 14 is provided with a water spray nozzle 15. The water inlet pipe 13 supplies water to each water distribution pipe 14, and the water spray nozzles 15 impact the Chinese medicinal materials on the mesh belt conveyor 2, thereby accelerating the water flow in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 and improving the cleaning efficiency of the Chinese medicinal materials. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 is provided with a first drain pipe 11, and a valve is provided on the first drain pipe 11.
[0020] The upper end of the support plate 3 is provided with a first air guide pipe 19 near the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. The first air guide pipe 19 is connected to an external fan. The first air guide pipe 19 is provided with a first air nozzle 20 on the side away from the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. The airflow from the first air nozzle 20 blows the mud, sand and other impurities that fall on the upper end of the support plate 3 to one side.
[0021] The lower end face of the support plate 3 is provided with a collection device 7, which includes a fixing ring 16, a collar 17 and a collection bag 18. The upper end of the fixing ring 16 passes through the support plate 3, and the lower end of the fixing ring 16 is provided with a collar 17. The collar 17 is fitted onto the fixing ring 16 and is snapped into the fixing ring 16 for easy replacement. The collar 17 is provided with a collection bag 18, and impurities such as mud and sand on the upper end face of the support plate 3 fall into the collection bag 18 through the fixing ring 16.
[0022] The draining device includes a drain pool 8, a fixed frame 9, and support rods 10. The drain pool 8 is located below the outward extension end of the discharge end of the mesh belt conveyor 2.

The airflow ejected from the second jet nozzle 23 blows the water droplets on the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials downward and passes through the mesh belt conveyor 2 into the drainage pool 8 below.
[0024] The embodiment describes a traditional Chinese medicine processing herb cleaning device. During use, the herbs to be processed are placed on a vibrating screen 5. Vibration causes particles such as mud and sand mixed in the herbs to fall onto a lower support plate 3. The screened herbs fall onto a mesh belt conveyor 2 within an ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. Airflow from the first jet nozzle 20 blows the mud and sand impurities on the upper surface of the support plate 3 to one side. These impurities then fall into a collection bag 18 through a fixing ring 16. The mesh belt conveyor 2 moves, causing the herbs to undergo ultrasonic cleaning. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 is used to clean and remove dust from the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials. Water supply pipe 13 supplies water to each branch pipe 14 and sprays water through nozzles 15 onto the Chinese medicinal materials on the mesh belt conveyor 2, which accelerates the water flow in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 and improves the cleaning efficiency of the Chinese medicinal materials. The mesh belt conveyor 2 removes the cleaned Chinese medicinal materials from the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. The airflow from the second air nozzle 23 blows the water droplets on the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials downward and through the mesh belt conveyor 2 into the drain tank 8 below, where the surface of the cleaned Chinese medicinal materials is dried for subsequent processing.
