Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fertilization and sowing technology, specifically to a device for cleaning and inhibiting bacteria in fresh astragalus. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, cleaning fresh astragalus is a crucial step. It requires not only removing surface dirt and impurities but also reducing microbial contamination through antibacterial treatment. Existing cleaning equipment typically uses simple bubble cleaning or spray cleaning, which has the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Incomplete cleaning: Relying solely on the initial cleaning with a bubble cleaning machine makes it difficult to completely remove stubborn impurities and antibacterial agent residues from the surface of Astragalus membranaceus, affecting the quality of subsequent processing.

[0004] 2. Low draining efficiency: Traditional draining mechanisms are mostly simple draining screens or static draining, lacking active means to remove moisture from the surface of Astragalus membranaceus, resulting in long draining time, high moisture content, and easy bacterial growth.

[0005] 3. Insufficient automation: The connection between the washing and draining processes is not smooth, and material accumulation or residue may occur during the material transfer process, affecting production efficiency.

[0006] 4. Antibacterial agent residue problem: If the antibacterial agent is not completely removed after the initial cleaning, it may have an adverse effect on the medicinal properties of Astragalus membranaceus or subsequent processing (such as drying and storage). Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fresh astragalus antibacterial cleaning device to solve the problem of low draining efficiency mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fresh astragalus antibacterial cleaning device, comprising a conveyor, a bubble cleaning machine disposed at both ends of the conveyor, and a draining mechanism. One end of the conveyor is located in the cleaning tank of the bubble cleaning machine, and the device also includes a secondary cleaning mechanism disposed on the conveyor frame. The draining mechanism includes a frame connected to the conveyor frame and located at the other end of the conveyor, a roller rotatably connected to the frame, a blowing assembly and a driving assembly disposed on the frame. The blowing assembly is located inside the roller, and the driving assembly is drivenly connected to the roller to drive the roller to rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, the secondary cleaning mechanism includes support plates located on both sides of the conveyor frame and outside the cleaning tank of the bubble cleaner, water pipes on the two support plates, and a first nozzle on the water pipes.

[0010] Furthermore, the roller is provided with drainage holes and a spiral guide block.

[0011] Furthermore, the purging assembly includes a positioning frame mounted on the frame, an air pipe mounted on the positioning frame and located inside the drum, and a second nozzle mounted on the air pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor mounted on the frame and a pulley mounted on the motor output shaft; the roller has a belt groove, and the pulley and the belt groove are connected by a belt drive.

[0013] Furthermore, the bubble cleaning machine has a first guide plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a second guide plate is provided on one end of the conveyor frame near the roller, and the second guide plate has drainage holes.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. Secondary cleaning mechanism improves cleaning effect: By setting a secondary cleaning mechanism (support plate, water pipe and first nozzle) on the conveyor frame, Astragalus can be sprayed and cleaned a second time after the initial cleaning of the bubble cleaning machine, effectively removing residual antibacterial agent and impurities on the surface, ensuring thorough cleaning.

[0017] 2. High-efficiency draining and blowing design: The draining mechanism has drain holes and spiral guide blocks on the drum. Together with the blowing components (air pipe and second nozzle) inside the drum, the astragalus root is rotated and moved, realizing the dual function of mechanical draining and airflow blowing, which greatly shortens the draining time and reduces the moisture content, thus reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

[0018] 3. Automated connection and stable transmission: The conveyor adopts a stainless steel mesh conveyor belt and a Z-shaped structure, combined with the first guide plate of the bubble cleaning machine and the second guide plate (with drainage holes) at the end of the conveyor, to ensure smooth transmission of materials in the cleaning, secondary cleaning and draining stages, avoid accumulation or residue, and improve production efficiency.

[0019] In summary, this utility model, through its innovative design of secondary cleaning and efficient draining, solves the problems of incomplete cleaning and low draining efficiency in existing devices, thereby improving the cleaning quality and processing efficiency of fresh astragalus.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A device for cleaning and sterilizing fresh astragalus root, mainly comprising a conveyor 1, bubble cleaning machines 2 and a draining mechanism located at both ends of the conveyor 1, and a secondary cleaning mechanism mounted on the frame of the conveyor 1. The conveyor 1 used in this device is a conventional inclined conveyor, commonly used in material transport. The conveyor belt of the conveyor 1 is a stainless steel mesh conveyor belt, and baffles are also installed on the conveyor belt. The conveyor 1 is Z-shaped, divided into a horizontal feeding section, an inclined section, and a horizontal discharge section along the astragalus transport direction. The bubble cleaning machine 2 is a conventional bubble cleaning machine 2 used for cleaning astragalus root, such as those produced by brands like L.K. and L.K. The horizontal feeding section of the conveyor 1 is located within the cleaning tank of the bubble cleaning machine 2, and a first guide plate 14 is installed on the cleaning tank to facilitate the entry of astragalus root. The draining mechanism is located at the end of the horizontal discharge section, and a second guide plate 15 is also provided at the end of the frame of the horizontal discharge section of the conveyor 1. The second guide plate 15 has drainage holes to facilitate the entry of astragalus root into the draining mechanism. The secondary cleaning mechanism is located on the frame of the horizontal discharge section of conveyor 1.

[0026] Specifically,

[0027] The draining mechanism consists of a frame 3, a roller 4, a blowing assembly, and a drive assembly. The frame 3 is connected to the end of the horizontal discharge section of the conveyor 1 by bolts or welding. The roller 4 has an annular protrusion, and the frame 3 has an annular groove. The protrusion can slide in the groove, thus allowing the roller 4 to rotate on the frame 3. Ball bearings can be installed on the protrusion to reduce friction during rotation (or bearings or a bushing and shaft can be used). The end of the second guide plate 15 is located inside the roller 4. The roller 4 has drainage holes and a spiral guide block 8 to drain the water adhering to it while moving the astragalus. The blowing assembly consists of a positioning frame 9, an air pipe 10, and a second nozzle 11. There are two positioning frames 9, which are respectively located at both ends of the frame 3 (their installation position will not affect the entry and exit of the astragalus). The air pipe 10 is a steel pipe, which is fixed to the two positioning frames 9 by welding or bolts and is located in the middle of the roller 4. There are multiple second nozzles 11, which are equidistantly installed on the air pipe 10. The drive assembly consists of a motor 12 and a pulley 13 on the output shaft of the motor 12. A belt groove is provided on the roller 4, and the belt groove is connected to the output shaft of the motor 12 via a belt, so that when the motor 12 rotates, it drives the roller 4 to rotate. (During draining, water may flow into the belt, causing the belt to slip. Therefore, a gear can also be installed on the output shaft of the motor, and a ring rack can be installed on the roller to achieve the rotation of the roller through the gear and rack. Alternatively, a sprocket can be installed on the output shaft of the motor and the roller, and the roller can be rotated through a chain.)

[0028] The secondary cleaning mechanism consists of support plates 5, water pipes 6, and first nozzles 7. Support plates 5 are mounted on both sides of the frame of the horizontal discharge section of conveyor 1, water pipes 6 are positioned between two support plates 5, and multiple first nozzles 7 are evenly spaced on the water pipes 6. Multiple sets of secondary cleaning mechanisms can be installed to enhance the cleaning effect.

[0029] Working process and principle of this utility model:

[0030] When cleaning Astragalus membranaceus, first connect water pipe 6 to the water source, connect air pipe 10 to equipment such as blower and axial flow fan, and start bubble cleaner 2 and motor 12. Then, put the Astragalus membranaceus into the cleaning tank of bubble cleaner 2 from the first guide plate (pay attention to the amount added to prevent excessive accumulation of Astragalus membranaceus, which will affect the cleaning effect). Antibacterial agents such as food-grade sodium hypochlorite and food-grade hydrogen peroxide need to be added to the cleaning solution.

[0031] After the bubble cleaning machine 2 cleans the astragalus (the specific cleaning time is customized according to the actual situation), start the conveyor 1. The drive mechanism of the conveyor 1 drives the conveyor belt to move and transport the astragalus in the cleaning tank of the bubble cleaning machine 2 to the horizontal discharge section of the conveyor 1. The first nozzle 7 sprays out clean water to perform a second cleaning of the astragalus, so as to remove the antibacterial agent and impurities that have not been completely cleaned.

[0032] After the second cleaning, the astragalus is moved to the second guide plate 15, which is inclined. The astragalus is conveyed through the second guide plate 15 into the drum 4, where the motor 12 drives the drum 4 to rotate, causing the astragalus to tumble and move within the drum 4. Simultaneously, the second nozzle 11 sprays gas to drain the moisture adhering to the astragalus after cleaning. As the drum 4 continues to rotate, the astragalus falls from the end of the drum 4 and is collected by workers (this can be done by placing a collection frame or conveyor at the end of the drum) for further processing.
