[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicinal material cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for the production of Chinese medicinal decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of prepared Chinese medicinal herbs, cleaning is a crucial pre-processing step. Cleaning removes impurities such as mud, sand, debris, and microorganisms from the surface of the herbs, ensuring their purity and quality and providing qualified raw materials for subsequent processing.

[0003] Different types of Chinese medicinal herbs require different cleaning methods or equipment. For root and rhizome herbs such as wild yam, burdock, and cassava, their surfaces are rough and covered with a lot of dirt and impurities, making them difficult to clean. Their epidermis is also thin and easily scratched or damaged during cleaning, leading to the exposure of internal tissues, loss of nutrients, and affecting their appearance. Generally, root and rhizome herbs are cleaned manually, which involves soaking them in a pool of water and then scrubbing them manually with a brush. This method is labor-intensive, and existing cleaning equipment is prone to damaging or breaking the epidermis of root and rhizome herbs, thus affecting their medicinal value and appearance.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a cleaning device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that: the first rolling ring is disposed at the front end of the bracket, and the second rolling ring is disposed at the rear end of the bracket. The first rolling ring and the second rolling ring have the same structure and size. The outer arc surface of the first rolling ring and the second rolling ring are respectively integrally provided with U-shaped grooves, and the axial cross section of the U-shaped grooves is U-shaped.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the brush plate is disposed on the inner sidewall of the first and second rolling rings, and the brush plate is distributed along the axial direction of the first and second rolling rings, and the inner surface of the brush plate body is provided with silicone bristles.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that the bracket is a rectangular frame structure with a high front and a low rear. Bearing seats are provided at the ends of both sides of the top surface of the bracket. The drive shaft and the driven shaft pass through the bearing seats on both sides respectively. The rear end of the drive shaft is connected to the motor.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that a sewage tank is provided at intervals below the top surface of the support, a mesh is provided at the rear end of the sewage tank, and a water storage tank is provided below the mesh.

[0031] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, including a support 1. An arched protective cover 2 is set above the main body of the support 1, and several water spray pipes 21 are set on the inner wall of the top of the protective cover 2. A drive shaft 12 and a driven shaft 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the support 1 via bearing seats 11. A first rolling ring 31 and a second rolling ring 32 are respectively set at the front and rear ends of the main body of the drive shaft 12 and the driven shaft 13. U-shaped grooves 311 are set on the first rolling ring 31 and the second rolling ring 32. Rotating wheels 14 adapted to the U-shaped grooves 311 are passed through the drive shaft 12 and the driven shaft 13. Several brush plates 4 are set between the first rolling ring 31 and the second rolling ring 32. Brush bristles 41 are set on the inner surface of the brush plate 4. The brush bristles 41 brush the traditional Chinese medicine by rotating. Specifically, the inner wall of the top of the protective cover 2 is uniformly parallel to the central axis of the first rolling ring 31 and the second rolling ring 32. Three high-pressure water spray pipes 21 are spaced apart. The water spray pipe 21 has water outlet holes perpendicular to the central axis of the first roller ring 31 and the second roller ring 32. The top surface of the bracket 1 is higher on both sides than the middle support frame. The U-shaped grooves 311 of the first roller ring 31 and the second roller ring 32 abut against the wheel surface of the rotating wheel 14. The four rotating wheels 14 are respectively keyed to the two ends of the drive shaft 12 and the driven shaft 13. The rear end of the drive shaft 12 is connected to the motor 15. The motor 15 drives the drive shaft 12 to rotate, which drives the first roller ring 31, the second roller ring 32 and the driven shaft 13 to rotate. This causes the root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials to rotate slightly between the brush plates 4. The outer wall of the root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials directly contacts the brush bristles 41. The soft silicone bristles 41 continuously rub against the surface of the root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials during rotation, and the friction is moderate. Combined with the continuous spraying of water in the water spray pipes 21, the root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials are cleaned without dead angles.

[0033] like Figures 3-5As shown, in this embodiment, the first rolling ring 31 is disposed at the front end of the bracket 1, and the second rolling ring 32 is disposed at the rear end of the bracket 1. The first rolling ring 31 and the second rolling ring 32 have the same structure and size. The outer arc surface of the first rolling ring 31 and the second rolling ring 32 are respectively integrally provided with U-shaped grooves 311, and the axial cross section of the U-shaped grooves 311 is U-shaped. The brush plate 4 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the first rolling ring 31 and the second rolling ring 32, and the brush plate 4 is distributed along the axial direction of the first rolling ring 31 and the second rolling ring 32. The inner surface of the brush plate 4 is provided with bristles 41 made of silicone material. The bracket 1 is a rectangular frame structure with a high front and a low rear. Bearing seats 11 are respectively disposed at the ends of the top surface of the bracket 1. The drive shaft 12 and the driven shaft 13 pass through the bearing seats 11 on both sides respectively. The rear end of the drive shaft 12 is connected to the motor 15. Specifically The brush plate 4 has a house-shaped structure that can well adhere to the outer wall of root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials. The support 1, which is higher at the front and lower at the back, allows the root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials to slide towards the rear while being washed, achieving automatic discharge. The top surface of the support 1 has a slatted frame structure, which facilitates the drainage of wastewater after washing into the wastewater tank 5. There is a gap between the first roller ring 31 and the second roller ring 32 and the top surface of the support 1 to prevent the first roller ring 31 and the second roller ring 32 from rubbing against the support 1 during rotation. The first roller ring 31 abuts against the rotating wheel 14 at the front end of the drive shaft 12 and the driven shaft 13, and the second roller ring 32 abuts against the rotating wheel 14 at the rear end of the drive shaft 12 and the driven shaft 13. Four brush plates 4 are arranged circumferentially between the first roller ring 31 and the second roller ring 32. The inner wall of the brush plate 4 is lined with silicone bristles 41. The modular design of the brush plate 4 facilitates quick replacement.

[0034] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a sewage tank 5 is provided at intervals below the top surface of the support 1, and a mesh 51 is provided at the rear end of the sewage tank 5. A water storage tank 6 is provided below the mesh 51. A vertical baffle 61 is provided inside the water storage tank 6, which divides the inner cavity of the water storage tank 6 into a sedimentation tank 62 and a clear water tank 63. A water pump 64 is placed in the clear water tank 63, and the outlet of the water pump 64 is connected to a spray pipe 21. Specifically, the two sides of the sewage tank 5 are connected to the bottom ends of the two sides of the protective cover 2, forming a wrapping state around the outside of the brush plate 4. To prevent water from splashing out, the sewage tank 5 is parallel to the top surface of the support 1, and the sewage tank 5 is also in a state of being higher in the front and lower in the back, so that the sewage flows to the rear end. The sewage flows to the rear end and is coarsely filtered through the mesh 51, so that some coarse branches and weeds are intercepted in the mesh 51. The sewage containing mud and sand falls into the sedimentation tank 62. The sewage settles and stratifies in the sedimentation tank 62. The upper layer of clear water flows over the baffle 61 to the clear water tank 63. The water in the clear water tank 63 is then pumped to the spray pipe 21 for cleaning root and stem medicinal materials, realizing the recycling of water resources.

[0035] like Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the vertical distance between the first roller ring 31 and the second roller ring 32 is 80mm~150mm, and the inner diameter of both the first roller ring 31 and the second roller ring 32 is 80~120mm; the tilt angle of the support 1 is 5~15°; specifically, the vertical distance between the two roller rings 3 is greater than the length of the root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials, and the inner diameter of the roller rings 3 is small, only 80~120mm, which is suitable for root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials with a diameter of 30~100mm. Only one root and rhizome Chinese medicinal material is cleaned at a time, and root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials can be continuously fed in to achieve continuous cleaning and avoid damage to the skin due to collision or squeezing; the support 1 has a tilted design with the front higher than the back, which allows the root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials to slide towards the rear end while being cleaned, so as to achieve automatic discharge.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the length of the sewage tank 5 is greater than the length of the support 1; a valve 621 is provided on the outer wall of the sedimentation tank 62 body; specifically, the part of the sewage tank 5 that extends beyond the support 1 is a mesh 51, the length of the mesh 51 is 50~100cm, and the length of the sewage tank 5 is also 50~100cm.

[0037] This utility model provides a working principle for a cleaning device used in the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces: During use, the operator first turns on the motor 15 and the water pump 64. The motor 15 drives the drive shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 14 to rotate. The rotating wheel 14 drives the first rolling ring 31 and the second rolling ring 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel on the driven shaft 13 to rotate. Simultaneously, the water spray pipe 21 begins spraying water. Then, root and rhizome-type traditional Chinese medicine materials are continuously fed into the first rolling ring 31. As the brush plate 4 rotates, the root and rhizome-type traditional Chinese medicine materials also rotate, causing... The bristles 41 continuously scrub the surface of the root and rhizome medicinal materials. As the materials are cleaned, they slide towards the rear, while the wastewater falls into the wastewater tank 5 and continues to flow towards the rear. Finally, the wastewater is coarsely filtered through the mesh 51, which traps some coarse branches and weeds. The wastewater containing mud and sand falls into the sedimentation tank 62, where it settles and separates into layers. The upper layer of clear water flows over the baffle 61 to the clear water tank 63. The water in the clear water tank 63 is then pumped to the spray pipe 21 for cleaning the root and rhizome medicinal materials, thus realizing the recycling of water resources.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
