Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning device, specifically a tunnel cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The medicinal parts of Chinese medicinal herbs exhibit significant diversity, and their raw material morphology can be classified into different biological structural categories such as underground rhizomes, above-ground stems, broad-leaved plants, and flowers and fruits. During the initial processing of raw materials, the surface of medicinal herbs is often contaminated with foreign matter of various natures. These mainly include dense soil deposits carried by rhizomes, suspended particulate matter mixed with stems and leaves, and biological attachments present in flowers and fruits. This presents differentiated treatment requirements for industrial cleaning processes.

[0003] Current industrial cleaning primarily employs two types of cleaning devices: drum-type and agitator-type. Drum-type cleaners rely on rigid friction between the medicinal material and the drum wall to achieve surface peeling, which carries the risk of damaging the integrity of the material. Agitation-type cleaners remove contaminants through turbulent water flow, but their cleaning effect on the deep pores of root and rhizome medicinal materials is less effective. More significantly, both types of equipment suffer from the following technical drawbacks:

[0004] (1) Insufficient automation: The feeding of medicinal materials relies on manual loading, and the unloading operation after cleaning requires manual retrieval, which forms a bottleneck for continuous production;

[0005] (2) Low overall efficiency: The ratio of manual labor intensity to equipment idle time exceeds the industry standard value by 35%, and the unit energy consumption output ratio is lower than the standard of modern pharmaceutical equipment. Utility Model Content

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Example:

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment discloses a tunnel cleaning device, including a cleaning tunnel 10, a conveyor belt 20, a feeding system 30, a material rubbing system 40, and a tumbling system 50.

[0039] The cleaning tunnel 10 has an inlet and an outlet at its two ends, and a conveyor belt 20 is installed inside the cleaning tunnel 10. During operation, the medicinal materials to be cleaned are added into the cleaning tunnel 10 from the inlet. The medicinal materials are transported from the inlet to the outlet by the conveyor belt 20, and are cleaned during this process.

[0040] The feeding system 30 includes an inclined guide chute through which the medicinal materials to be cleaned are fed into the cleaning tunnel 10 and correctly delivered to one end of the conveyor belt 20.

[0041] The rubbing system 40 is installed inside the cleaning tunnel 10 and above the conveyor belt 20. The rubbing system 40 rubs and washes the medicinal materials on the conveyor belt 20, thereby cleaning the dirt attached to the surface of the medicinal materials.

[0042] The tumbling system 50 is also installed inside the cleaning tunnel 10 and above the conveyor belt 20. The tumbling system 50 drives the medicinal materials to roll on the conveyor belt 20, so that different surfaces of the medicinal materials come into contact with the rubbing system 40 and are thus cleaned.

[0043] Specifically, both ends of the conveyor belt 20 are located outside the ends of the cleaning tunnel 10, and the conveyor belt 20 is continuously driven by a drive mechanism. The material rubbing system 40 includes a spray assembly that can continuously spray cleaning fluid (generally clean water) onto the conveyor belt 20. In addition, the material rubbing system 40 has two sets, and the tumbling system 50 is located between the two sets of material rubbing systems 40.

[0044] In this embodiment, a cleaning tunnel 10 is designed with a feeding end. During feeding, the medicinal materials to be cleaned are continuously fed in through the feeding component, and the other end of the cleaning tunnel 10 is the discharge end. At the same time, a rubbing system 40 and a tumbling system 50 are set inside the cleaning tunnel 10. The medicinal materials to be cleaned are gradually sent from the feeding port to the discharge port of the cleaning tunnel 10 through the conveyor belt 20. During this process, the rubbing system 40 and the tumbling system 50 continuously clean the medicinal materials, so that the cleaning equipment has the advantages of simple cleaning process, full automation and high cleaning efficiency.

[0045] In one specific embodiment:

[0046] The conveyor belt 20 includes a mesh chain with a mesh diameter of 2-5mm to facilitate drainage and allow soil to pass through the conveyor belt 20.

[0047] In another specific embodiment:

[0048] A vibrating plate is provided between the feeding system 30 and the conveyor belt 20. The vibrating plate is set with a slightly inclined structure. By setting the vibrating plate, dirt that is attached to the surface of the medicinal materials and is easy to fall off can be removed.

[0049] In another specific embodiment:

[0050] The material feeding system 40 also includes a main shaft 41 and a brush 42. There are multiple main shafts 41, all of which are arranged parallel to each other above the conveyor belt 20, and the length direction of the main shafts 41 is perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt 20. The main shafts 41 are located on a horizontal plane.

[0051] Each spindle 41 is equipped with a brush 42.

[0052] Specifically, one end of the main shaft 41 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the cleaning tunnel 10, and the other end passes through the other end of the cleaning tunnel 10. All the main shafts 41 passing through this end of the cleaning tunnel 10 are connected by multiple gears. A material rubbing motor is provided at the end of one of the main shafts 41, and the output shaft of the material rubbing motor is coaxially connected to the end of the main shaft 41.

[0053] Preferably, the gears on two adjacent main shafts 41 mesh with each other, so that the rotation directions of the two adjacent main shafts 41 are opposite. By designing the rotation directions of the main shafts 41 to be opposite, the medicinal materials can achieve initial tumbling on the conveyor belt 20.

[0054] In another specific embodiment:

[0055] The tumbling system 50 includes a drive plate 51, a connecting shaft 52, a drive shaft 53, and a tumbling motor 54. The drive plate 51 is located above the conveyor belt 20, and its width is smaller than that of the conveyor belt 20. The drive plate 51 is used to drive the medicinal materials on the conveyor belt 20 to tumble. The connecting shaft 52 is located on the top surface of the drive plate 51 and is arranged vertically.

[0056] One end of the drive shaft 53 has an L-shaped structure, and this end of the drive shaft 53 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting shaft 52. The other end of the drive shaft 53 is arranged in a vertical direction and passes through the cleaning tunnel 10. The drive shaft 53 and the cleaning tunnel 10 are rotatably connected.

[0057] One end of the drive shaft 53, which passes through the cleaning tunnel 10, is poweredly connected to the output shaft of the tumbling motor 54, which is mounted on the cleaning tunnel 10. The tumbling motor 54 is used to continuously rotate the drive shaft 53.

[0058] In this embodiment, the tumbling motor 54 drives the connecting shaft 52 to rotate via the drive shaft 53, causing the connecting shaft 52 to rotate around the drive shaft 53. This, in turn, drives the drive plate 51 to move on the conveyor belt 20 via the connecting shaft 52.

[0059] Preferably, the drive shaft 53 is L-shaped with a drive hole at one end, and the connecting shaft 52 is slidably disposed in the drive hole, so that the connecting shaft 52 can both rotate and slide within the drive hole. The drive plate 51 is provided with two connecting shafts 52 and two drive shafts 53 are symmetrically arranged. Both drive shafts 53 are poweredly connected to the output shaft of the tumbling motor 54, and the tumbling motor 54 drives the two drive shafts 53 to rotate at the same speed and in the same direction.

[0060] This design allows the drive plate 51 to move relatively smoothly, preventing the drive plate 51 from rotating around the axis of the connecting shaft 52.

[0061] In addition, an upwardly curved baffle 55 is provided around the drive plate 51. By providing the curved baffle 55, the medicinal materials can be prevented from rolling to the top surface of the drive plate 51.

[0062] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
