Detailed Implementation

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine cleaning and drying device includes a base 1 and a cleaning component 2 and a drying component 3 disposed on the top of the base 1.

[0029] The cleaning assembly 2 includes a fixed cylinder 4 mounted on the top of the base 1 via a bracket and a roller 5 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 4. The inner wall of the roller 5 has a water leakage hole, and a spiral blade 6 for conveying Chinese medicine is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the roller 5. A housing 9 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 4. A gear 11 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 9 via a shaft 10. One end of the gear 11 is fixedly connected to a motor 12 via a coupling. The motor 12 is bolted to the outer wall of the housing 9. A gear ring 13 that meshes with the gear 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the roller 5.

[0030] The starting motor 12 drives the drive shaft 10 to rotate the gear 11. The gear 11 and the gear ring 13 work together to rotate the roller 5 and the spiral blade 6. The rotation of the roller 5 turns the Chinese medicine over, and the rotation of the spiral blade 6 transports the Chinese medicine.

[0031] By setting up roller 5 and spiral blade 6, when roller 5 and spiral blade 6 rotate, roller 5 is responsible for turning over the Chinese medicine to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the Chinese medicine and ensure cleaning quality. Spiral blade 6 is responsible for conveying the Chinese medicine to the subsequent processing stage, so that the medicine is fed at a uniform speed while being cleaned, which can ensure the cleaning effect and improve the efficiency of Chinese medicine processing.

[0032] In this embodiment, a water supply pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 4, and the water supply pipe 7 is located inside the fixed cylinder 4 and is fixedly connected to and communicates with multiple nozzles 8.

[0033] One end of the water supply pipe 7 is closed, and the other end of the water supply pipe 7 is fixedly connected to a water pump 14. The water pump 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, and the input end of the water pump 14 is connected to an external water source through a pipeline.

[0034] The water pump 14 is started to draw water from the external source and deliver it to the water supply pipe 7, and finally the water is sprayed out by multiple nozzles 8 to rinse the Chinese medicine.

[0035] The bottom inner wall of the fixed cylinder 4 is provided with a drainage groove, and a wastewater pool 15 is installed on the top of the base 1 located below the drainage groove. The inner wall of the wastewater pool 15 is fixedly connected and connected to a drainage pipe.

[0036] Wastewater generated from cleaning Chinese medicine flows into wastewater pool 15 through the water leakage holes on the inner wall of drum 5 and the drainage trough at the bottom of fixed drum 4, and is finally discharged through the drain pipe.

[0037] In this embodiment, a feed hopper 16 that communicates with the fixed cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 4.

[0038] The Chinese herbs to be cleaned are fed into the fixed cylinder 4 through the feed hopper 16 for cleaning.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] A traditional Chinese medicine cleaning and drying device, this embodiment is based on embodiment 1 with the following improvements, such as... Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 5:

[0041] The drying assembly 3 includes a frame 17 fixed to the top of the base 1 and multiple air guide hoods 23 fixed to the top of the frame 17. The air guide hoods 23 are connected to a heat pump through pipes, and the input end of the heat pump is connected to the atmospheric environment.

[0042] The heat pump is started to heat the outside air and deliver it into the air guide hood 23. The air guide hood 23 then blows the air onto the surface of the Chinese medicine for drying.

[0043] By setting multiple air guides 23, the drying effect of Chinese medicine can be improved, and the residual moisture can be avoided, which can cause the Chinese medicine to mold and rot.

[0044] The inner wall of the frame 17 is rotatably connected to multiple conveyor rollers 19 and limit wheels 21 via shaft 2 18 and shaft 3 20 respectively. The conveyor rollers 19 and limit wheels 21 are staggered, and all the outer walls of the conveyor rollers 19 and limit wheels 21 are driven by the same conveyor belt 22.

[0045] The outer wall of the frame 17 is fixedly connected to a second motor 24 by bolts, and the output shaft of the second motor 24 is fixedly connected to one of the shafts 18 by a coupling.

[0046] The starter motor 24 drives one of the shafts 18 and the conveyor roller 19 to rotate. With the cooperation of the other shafts 18 and the limit wheel 21, the conveyor belt 22 is driven to rotate, realizing the conveying of Chinese medicine. Due to the staggered arrangement of the conveyor roller 19 and the limit wheel 21, the surface of the conveyor belt 22 is undulating. When the Chinese medicine is conveyed to the undulating area, it will roll, thus realizing the turning of the Chinese medicine.

[0047] By staggering the conveyor rollers 19 and the limiting wheels 21, the surface of the conveyor belt 22 becomes undulating, causing the Chinese medicine to roll when it moves to the undulations of the conveyor belt 22, thereby turning the Chinese medicine over and further improving the uniformity and efficiency of drying.

[0048] Working Principle: When using this device, start motor 12, water pump 14, motor 24, and heat pump. Motor 12 drives shaft 10 to rotate gear 11. The gear 11 and gear ring 13 work together to rotate drum 5 and spiral blades 6. Motor 24 drives one shaft 18 and conveyor roller 19 to rotate. With the cooperation of the remaining shafts 18 and limit wheels 21, the conveyor belt 22 rotates. The herbs to be cleaned are then fed into drum 5 through hopper 16. The rotation of drum 5 agitates the herbs. Simultaneously, water pump 14 draws external water and delivers it to water pipe 7, which is then sprayed out from nozzle 8 to rinse the herbs. With the assistance of blade 6, the Chinese medicine is washed and conveyed towards the drying component 3. The wastewater after washing flows into the wastewater pool 15 through the water leakage holes on the inner wall of the roller 5 and the drainage groove at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 4, and is finally discharged through the drain pipe. The washed Chinese medicine is conveyed to the conveyor belt 22 by the spiral blade 6 and continues to be conveyed by the conveyor belt 22. Due to the misaligned arrangement of the conveyor roller 19 and the limiting wheel 21, the surface of the conveyor belt 22 is undulating. When the Chinese medicine is conveyed to the undulating area, it will roll, thereby realizing the turning of the Chinese medicine. During this process, the heat pump will heat the outside air and deliver it into the guide hood 23, and then blow it onto the surface of the Chinese medicine for drying.
