Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically to a soaking and cleaning device for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicinal materials (TCM) refer to raw medicinal herbs used under the guidance of traditional Han Chinese medicine to treat diseases. TCM is the material foundation for the inheritance and development of TCM. Authentic medicinal materials represent the high-quality traditional medicinal materials of my country. Prepared medicinal herbs are TCM materials that have undergone processing according to TCM theory and methods, and can be directly used in clinical practice. There is no absolute boundary between TCM materials and prepared medicinal herbs; prepared medicinal herbs include some sliced medicinal herbs processed at their place of origin, whole medicinal herbs, and those that have been cut or processed.
[0003] Most Chinese medicinal materials are plants. After harvesting, the surface of Chinese medicinal materials has impurities such as mud and dust. Therefore, Chinese medicinal materials need to be washed and soaked during the processing to remove surface impurities and pesticide residues, so as to ensure the purity and efficacy of the medicinal materials.
[0004] Existing soaking and cleaning devices for Chinese medicinal herbs mostly involve placing the herbs in a cleaning basket and immersing them in a water tank. After cleaning, the herbs must be manually removed from the basket, significantly increasing the labor intensity for workers and reducing the cleaning efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a soaking and cleaning device for processing Chinese medicinal herbs to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figure 1-4As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a soaking and cleaning device for processing Chinese medicinal materials, including a base 1 and a cleaning tank 2. A feeding basket 6 is provided in the cleaning tank 2. A bottom mesh plate 13 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the feeding basket 6. A fixing plate 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom mesh plate 13. A fixing block 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the feeding basket 6. An insertion block 17 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the fixing plate 14. An insertion groove 16 is opened on one side of the fixing block 15. The insertion block 17 is inserted into the insertion groove 16. A sliding groove is opened on one side of the fixing block 15. An insertion post 18 is slidably installed in the sliding groove. A slot is opened on one side of the insertion block 17. The insertion post 18 is inserted into the slot. Two limiting sliding grooves 20 are opened on the periphery of the inner wall of the sliding groove. A receiving groove 21 is opened on the upper side of the inner wall of the limiting sliding groove 20. Limiting blocks 19 are fixedly installed on both sides of the insertion post 18. The limiting blocks 19 are slidably arranged in the limiting sliding grooves 20, and the limiting blocks 19 correspond to each other.
[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, when material needs to be retrieved after cleaning, the insert post 18 is rotated, causing the limiting block 19 to rotate along the limiting groove 20. When the limiting block 19 rotates to one end of the limiting groove 20 and corresponds to the receiving groove 21, the insert post 18 is pulled to one side, causing the insert post 18 to move the limiting block 19, allowing the limiting block 19 to move into the receiving groove 21. At this time, one end of the insert post 18 will retract into the sliding groove, thereby causing one end of the insert post 18 to disengage from the slot on one side of the insertion block 17, thus releasing the connection between the insertion block 17 and the fixing block 15. Then, by rotating the bottom mesh plate 13, the bottom mesh plate 13 is rotated to open the lower end of the material feeding basket 6. After the bottom mesh plate 13 is opened, the material is fed into the basket. The material in the material basket 6 can fall through the bottom opening, making it easier for staff to retrieve the Chinese medicinal materials in the material basket 6. When closing the bottom mesh plate 13, the above steps are reversed. By rotating the bottom mesh plate 13, the insertion block 17 is inserted into the insertion slot 16. Then, the insertion post 18 is inserted into the slot, so that the bottom mesh plate 13 closes the lower end of the insertion slot 16. The limiting block 19 is provided with an elastic bead on one side, and a slot is opened on one side of the inner wall of the limiting channel 20. When the limiting block 19 is rotated into the limiting channel 20, the elastic bead is inserted into the slot on one side of the inner wall of the limiting channel 20, so that the limiting block 19 can be limited in the limiting channel 20, thereby improving the stability of the insertion post 18 after insertion.
[0026] This utility model provides a soaking and cleaning device for processing Chinese medicinal materials. Two electric telescopic rods 4 are fixedly installed on the upper side of the cleaning tank 2. Support frames 5 are fixedly installed on the upper side of each of the two electric telescopic rods 4. A sliding groove 9 is opened on one side of the support frame 5. A drive motor 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 9. A threaded rod 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 10. A sliding block 12 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 9. The sliding block 12 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 11. A connecting rod 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding block 12. One end of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding basket 6. Two guide telescopic rods 3 are fixedly installed between the cleaning tank 2 and the two support frames 5 respectively. The four guide telescopic rods 3 are located on both sides of the two electric telescopic rods 4 respectively.
[0027] In another embodiment of this utility model, when material needs to be retrieved after cleaning, the electric telescopic rod 4 is activated to move the support frame 5 upward. The movement of the support frame 5 can move the sliding block 12 and the connecting rod 8 upward. The upward movement of the connecting rod 8 can move the discharge basket 6 out of the cleaning pool 2. Then, the drive motor 10 is activated to rotate the threaded rod 11, so that the threaded rod 11 can move the sliding block 12. The movement of the sliding block 12 can move the connecting rod 8. The movement of the connecting rod 8 can move the discharge basket 6. When the sliding block 12 moves the discharge basket 6 to one end of the support frame 5 through the connecting rod 8, the discharge basket 6 is located on one side of the cleaning pool 2. Then, the material retrieval operation can be carried out by opening the bottom mesh plate 13. The guide telescopic rod 3 can improve the stability when the electric telescopic rod 4 drives the support frame 5 to rise and fall.
[0028] This utility model provides a soaking and cleaning device for processing Chinese medicinal materials. A stirring device 7 is provided inside the feeding basket 6. The stirring device 7 includes a fixed bracket 22, a stirring motor 23, a stirring shaft 24, and cleaning brushes 25. There are several cleaning brushes 25. The fixed bracket 22 is fixedly installed between the upper inner walls of the feeding basket 6. The stirring motor 23 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the fixed bracket 22. The stirring shaft 24 is fixedly installed on the output end of the stirring motor 23. Several cleaning brushes 25 are respectively fixedly installed around the stirring shaft 24.
[0029] In another embodiment of this utility model, the stirring device 7 can drive the stirring shaft 24 to rotate, the stirring shaft 24 can drive the cleaning brush 25 to rotate, the cleaning brush 25 can stir the Chinese medicinal materials, so that they can fully contact the liquid during the soaking and cleaning process, and can also brush the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the Chinese medicinal materials. The cleaning brush 25 is composed of a metal tube with a silicone brush on the outside.
