Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine washing machines, and in particular to a medicine washing machine for Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] Angelica sinensis is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Angelica in the family Apiaceae. It has medicinal value. A herb washing machine is a device used to clean Chinese medicinal herbs. During the harvesting process, the surface of medicinal herbs may be covered with impurities such as mud, dust, and residual soil. The washing machine effectively removes these impurities by cleaning the herbs, improving their purity and ensuring their quality.
[0003] In the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: Existing Chinese herbal medicine washing machines generally include a shell, a nozzle, and a support mechanism. Most existing washing mechanisms involve rinsing the herbs with the nozzle or placing them inside the washing machine for agitation. This may cause the roots and stems of the herbs to break, and the folds of the herbs may not be cleaned thoroughly, affecting the quality of the herbs. In addition, after washing Angelica sinensis, the existing mechanisms cannot remove the residual moisture on the surface of the Angelica sinensis. In subsequent processes, dust will adhere to the surface of the Angelica sinensis, reducing the quality of the final product.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a Chinese herbal medicine washing machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a Chinese herbal medicine washing machine. The washing mechanism can clean Angelica sinensis without damaging its roots and stems, and the evaporation mechanism ensures that the Angelica sinensis will not be contaminated by dust or other contaminants due to surface dampness.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a Chinese herbal medicine washing machine, comprising a washing mechanism, an evaporation mechanism, and a base plate. The washing mechanism includes a washing tank and a rotating column. Multiple long-bristled brushes are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the washing tank, and multiple short-bristled brushes are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column. A support plate is fixedly provided at the bottom of the washing tank.
[0007] The evaporation mechanism includes an evaporation cylinder, a cylindrical cylinder, and multiple electric heating plates. A screw is fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the cylindrical cylinder. The inner wall of the evaporation cylinder is fixedly connected to four of the multiple electric heating plates. The bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected to the remaining four of the multiple electric heating plates.
[0008] Furthermore, a vertical rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate near the screw, and the outer wall of the vertical rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, a box is fixedly connected to the inner wall at the top center of the base plate, and a second motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box. The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screw.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the tray is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the evaporator near the top, and an electric valve is fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the tray.
[0011] Furthermore, a No. 1 motor is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the cleaning tank, and the output end of the No. 1 motor is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column.
[0012] Furthermore, a feed inlet is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the cleaning tank away from the center.
[0013] Furthermore, a column is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate away from the center, and the tops of the multiple columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the evaporator.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model proposes a Chinese herbal medicine washing machine. Angelica and water are put into the feed inlet, and the No. 1 motor starts to work. The output end of the No. 1 motor causes the rotating column to rotate. The rotation of the rotating column further drives multiple short brushes to rotate. The rotation of the short brushes moves the water and angelica in the washing tank, and works in conjunction with multiple long brushes to wash the angelica. Both types of brushes are relatively soft and will not damage the roots and stems of angelica during washing. At the same time, they can also clean the folds of the roots and stems of angelica.
[0016] 2. The medicinal herb washing machine proposed in this utility model allows multiple electric heating plates to operate when Angelica sinensis enters the cylindrical evaporation cylinder to evaporate the moisture on its surface. After evaporation, a second motor starts working, and its output drives a screw to rotate. The rotation of the screw causes the cylinder to move downwards along the outer wall of the vertical rod and exit from the evaporation cylinder. The vertical rod restricts the cylinder, allowing it to move but not rotate. After evaporating the moisture on the surface of the Angelica sinensis, it can prevent the Angelica sinensis from being contaminated by dust or other contaminants in subsequent processes, thus keeping it clean.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a Chinese herbal medicine washing machine, including a washing mechanism 1, an evaporation mechanism 2, and a base plate 3. The washing mechanism 1 includes a washing tank 101 and a rotating column 102. Multiple long brushes 103 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the washing tank 101, and multiple short brushes 106 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 102. A support plate 104 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the washing tank 101. The evaporation mechanism 2 includes an evaporation cylinder 201, a cylindrical cylinder 202, and multiple electric heating plates 203. A screw 207 is fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the cylindrical cylinder 202. The inner wall of the evaporation cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to four of the multiple electric heating plates 203, and the bottom of the support plate 104 is fixedly connected to the remaining four of the multiple electric heating plates 203.
[0025] Specifically, angelica root and water enter through inlet 107. Then, motor 5 drives the rotating column 102 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple short-bristled brushes 106 to rotate. The short-bristled brushes 106 and multiple long-bristled brushes 103 work together to clean the angelica root. The short-bristled brushes 106 and the long-bristled brushes 103 are of a suitable consistency that prevents the roots and stems of the angelica root from breaking while still cleaning the crevices of the root. After cleaning, the electric valve 105 is partially opened to drain the water, and finally the valve is fully opened to allow the angelica root to flow into the cylinder 202. Multiple electric heating plates 203 are activated to evaporate the residual moisture on the surface of the angelica root. After the moisture on the surface of the angelica root evaporates, motor 206 starts working, driving screw 207 to rotate. The rotation of screw 207 causes cylinder 202 to move downward along vertical rod 204 and move out of the evaporation cylinder 201. Cylinder 202 is restricted by vertical rod 204 and will not rotate with screw 207. Finally, the angelica root inside cylinder 202 is manually removed. At this time, there is no residual moisture on the surface of the angelica root, and it will not be contaminated by dust or dirt in subsequent processes.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 A vertical rod 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 3 near the screw 207. The outer wall of the vertical rod 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 202. A box 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top center of the base plate 3. A second motor 206 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 205. The output end of the second motor 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screw 207. The outer wall of the support plate 104 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the evaporator cylinder 201 near the top. An electric valve 105 is fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the support plate 104. A first motor 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the cleaning tank 101. The output end of the first motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column 102. A feed inlet 107 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the cleaning tank 101 away from the center. A column 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 3 away from the center. The tops of multiple columns 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the evaporator cylinder 201.
[0027] Specifically, the vertical rod 204 prevents the cylinder 202 from rotating with the screw 207, allowing the cylinder 202 to move only up and down. The box body 205 provides protection for the second motor 206 on the inner wall, preventing excess water from the top cylinder 202 from dripping directly onto the top of the second motor 206. The support plate 104 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the evaporation cylinder 201, and an electric valve 105 is fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the support plate 104. The top of the cleaning tank 101 is fixed to the first motor 5, which provides power to the rotating column 102. The base plate 3 and multiple columns 4 provide support for the overall structure.
[0028] Working principle: Angelica and water are fed into the feed inlet 107. Then, motor 5 is started. The output of motor 5 rotates and drives the rotating column 102 to rotate. The rotating column 102 drives multiple short brushes 106 to rotate. The short brushes 106 and multiple long brushes 103 work together to clean the Angelica. After cleaning, the electric valve 105 is started to drain the water. Then, the valve is fully opened and the Angelica enters the cylinder 202. Multiple electric heating plates 203 are started to evaporate the residual moisture on the surface of the Angelica.
[0029] Secondly, after the moisture on the surface of the angelica root evaporates, the second motor 206 is started. The output end of the second motor 206 rotates, driving the screw 207 to rotate. The screw 207 causes the cylinder 202 to move downward along the vertical rod 204 and be removed from the inside of the evaporation cylinder 201. Then the angelica root inside the cylinder 202 is taken out. In this way, no moisture remains on the surface of the angelica root, and it will not be contaminated by dust, dirt, etc. in the future.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
