Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning machine technology, specifically, it relates to a cleaning machine for processing Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health preservation, the TCM herbal medicine industry is booming. However, the processing and cleaning process has become a bottleneck restricting efficiency improvement. TCM herbs originate from the natural environment and carry a variety of impurities such as soil, insect eggs, and weeds. If they are not properly cleaned, the efficacy of the medicine will be reduced, and it may also pose safety hazards.
[0003] Existing simple cleaning equipment cannot achieve continuous and uninterrupted operation. After each batch of Chinese medicinal materials is cleaned, the machine must be stopped to remove the materials and refill them. During this period, the equipment is idle, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This not only makes it difficult to meet the pursuit of efficiency in large-scale production, but also causes equipment wear and tear and increases maintenance costs due to frequent start-ups and shutdowns. It cannot keep up with the pace of rapid development in the Chinese medicinal materials industry.

[0037] Example 1
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-5A traditional Chinese medicine processing and cleaning machine includes: a cleaning tank 1; a drum screen 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1; a conveying auger 3 rotatably fitted to the inner wall of the drum screen 2; a discharge pipe 4 installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1; a connecting pipe 5 fixedly connected to the upper side of the discharge pipe 4; a filter plate 6 fixedly connected inside the cleaning tank 1; the upper end of the connecting pipe 5 communicating with the lower side of the drum screen 2; a drive mechanism 7 installed inside the cleaning tank 1; and a cleaning mechanism 8 installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1. A feed hopper 13 is installed on the upper side of the cleaning tank 1, and the lower end of the feed hopper 13 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the drum screen 2. An observation window 14 is provided on one side of the cleaning tank 1, and a maintenance plate 15 is installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1. The drive mechanism 7 includes a drive motor 71 mounted on one side of the cleaning tank 1, a drive wheel 72 mounted on the upper side of the conveying auger 3, a reciprocating screw 73 rotatably engaged with one side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, a driven wheel 74 mounted on the reciprocating screw 73, and a protective shell 75 fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The output end of the drive motor 71 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying auger 3, the drive wheel 72 and the driven wheel 74 are connected by a belt tensioning connection, and the reciprocating screw 73 is rotatably engaged with the protective shell 75. A mounting plate 9 is threaded onto the reciprocating screw 73, and a brush plate 10 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 9, which engages with the filter plate 6. A fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and a limit rod 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 11, with the mounting plate 9 slidably engaged on the limit rod 12.
[0039] Implementation process: When the Chinese herbal medicine processing and cleaning process is started, the Chinese herbal medicine to be cleaned is first poured into the drum screen 2 through the feed hopper 13. Then, the drive motor 71 is turned on, and the drive motor 71 drives the conveyor auger 3 to rotate. The conveyor auger 3 pushes the Chinese herbal medicine slowly forward in the drum screen 2 to ensure that the medicine can fully undergo the cleaning process. On the other hand, the drive wheel 72 at its upper end drives the driven wheel 74 to rotate through the belt, which in turn causes the reciprocating screw 73 to rotate. Since the mounting plate 9 is threadedly engaged with the reciprocating screw 73 and slidably mounted on the limit rod 12, when the screw rotates, the mounting plate 9 drives the brush plate 10 to reciprocate linearly along the limit rod 12. The brush plate 10 is tightly engaged with the filter plate 6 to clean any impurities that may remain on the filter plate 6 and prevent clogging.
[0040] Benefits of implementation: By combining the conveyor auger 3 to propel the medicinal materials forward with the high-pressure nozzles 85-degree multi-angle rinsing, the medicinal materials are ensured to be continuously and thoroughly cleaned in the drum screen 2. Compared with traditional equipment, the cleaning volume per unit time is greatly increased, meeting the needs of large-scale processing of medicinal materials.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] The cleaning mechanism 8 includes a high-pressure water pump 81 installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1. The output end of the high-pressure water pump 81 is fixedly connected to a delivery pipe 82, and one end of the delivery pipe 82 is fixedly connected to a water distribution pipe 83. Spray boxes 84 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and multiple nozzles 85 are installed on opposite sides of the two spray boxes 84. The input end of the high-pressure water pump 81 extends into the interior of the cleaning tank 1, and both ends of the water distribution pipe 83 are fixedly connected to the spray boxes 84 respectively.
[0043] Implementation process: While conveying the Chinese medicinal materials, the high-pressure water pump 81 is turned on. The high-pressure water pump 81 draws water from the cleaning tank 1, which is then conveyed through the conveying pipe 82 to the water distribution pipe 83, and then distributed to the spray boxes 84 on both sides. Finally, multiple nozzles 85 spray high-pressure water into the Chinese medicinal materials in the drum screen 2, which powerfully washes the medicinal materials from multiple angles. During the cleaning process, the wastewater falls through the drum screen 2 onto the filter plate 6. After filtration, it is discharged through the connecting pipe 5 and the discharge pipe 4. The cleaned Chinese medicinal materials are pushed out from the front end of the drum screen 2 through the discharge pipe 4 by the conveying auger 3. The operator can check the cleaning progress in real time through the observation window 14. If the equipment needs maintenance, the inspection plate 15 can be opened for operation.
[0044] Benefits of implementation: The rinsing water is filtered and reused by the cleaning mechanism 8, saving water resources.
