[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs refer to natural medicines and their processed products used for disease prevention and treatment under the guidance of TCM theory. They mainly originate from plants, animals, and minerals, and become medicinal materials available for clinical use after processes such as collection, processing, and preparation.

[0003] In the processing of Chinese medicinal herbs, the herbs need to be cleaned, sliced ​​or cut into sections, dried, and processed. A Chinese medicinal herb washing machine is a specialized piece of equipment used for cleaning Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0004] The existing patent document CN221734226U discloses a Chinese herbal medicine washing machine, which includes a washing cylinder, a lifting mechanism, and a support. The lifting mechanism is installed on the top of the support. The washing cylinder includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, with the outer cylinder sleeved outside the inner cylinder. In this technical solution, a driving device drives a moving disc to reciprocate along the axial direction of the inner cylinder, so that water in the bucket continuously rinses the Chinese herbal medicine inside the inner cylinder through filter holes. However, during the process of the driving device driving the moving disc to reciprocate along the axial direction of the inner cylinder, it is impossible to penetrate into the grooves and crevices on the surface of the herbal medicine to brush off these impurities, thus affecting the cleaning effect of the herbal medicine. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a Chinese herbal medicine washing machine that solves the problem that, during the reciprocating movement of the moving disc along the inner cylinder axially driven by the drive device, it is impossible to penetrate deep into the grooves and crevices on the surface of the herbs to brush off these impurities, thus affecting the cleaning effect. By installing brushes at equal intervals around the inner wall of the washing cylinder, the Chinese herbal medicines will come into contact with and rub against the brushes when they are tumbled and agitated. During this process, the brush bristles penetrate deep into the grooves and crevices on the surface of the herbs, and through mechanical friction, brush off these impurities, making the surface of the herbs cleaner. At the same time, the brushing can destroy the attachment environment of microorganisms, brushing them off the surface of the herbs, reducing the risk of spoilage during subsequent processing and storage.
