[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a pretreatment device for the production and processing of traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a base 1, with a shell 3 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The shell 3 provides a relatively enclosed working environment for the internal components of the device. Rotating rings 4 are rotatably connected to both sides of the shell 3, providing support and guidance for the rotation of a cleaning tank 5. The same cleaning tank 5 is fixedly connected inside both rotating rings 4. The cleaning tank 5 is a container for placing traditional Chinese medicine for cleaning. Multiple water passage holes 12 are equidistantly opened on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 5, allowing cleaning water to enter and exit the cleaning tank 5 to clean the traditional Chinese medicine. A feed inlet 6 is opened on the right side of the cleaning tank 5, facilitating the placement of the traditional Chinese medicine to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 5. A gear ring 7 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the cleaning tank 5, which can cooperate with a gear 9 to realize the rotation of the cleaning tank 5. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the base 1, providing power for the rotation of the cleaning tank 5. The output end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to a gear 9, which meshes with the gear ring 7, and can transmit the power of the motor 8 to the cleaning tub 5. Multiple water inlet pipes 10 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the inner wall of the outer shell 3. The water inlet pipes 10 can deliver cleaning water to the nozzles 11. Multiple nozzles 11 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to one side of the multiple water inlet pipes 10. The nozzles 11 can spray the cleaning water evenly into the cleaning tub 5 to clean the Chinese herbal medicines. A circulation mechanism 2 is set on the rear side of the base 1. The circulation mechanism 2 can circulate the cleaning water inside the outer shell 3 to improve the utilization rate of water resources. An observation window 13 is opened on the front side of the outer shell 3. The observation window 13 allows the operator to observe the cleaning situation inside the cleaning tub 5. A protective frame 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the observation window 13 to protect the observation window 13 from damage. A switch 15 is fixedly connected to the front left end of the base 1. The switch 15 can control the start and stop of the motor 8 and the water pump 202 respectively.

[0033] Specifically, the Chinese herbal medicines are fed into the cleaning tank 5 through the inlet 6 on the right side. At this time, the gear 9, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the starter motor 8, rotates. Since the gear 9 is meshed with the gear ring 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the left side of the cleaning tank 5, the rotation of the gear 9 will drive the gear ring 7 to rotate, thereby causing the cleaning tank 5 to rotate around the rotating ring 4 inside the outer shell 3. The rotating ring 4 is rotatably connected to both sides of the outer shell 3, providing stable support for the rotation of the cleaning tank 5. At the same time, an external water source is introduced into the outer shell 3 through the water inlet pipe 10. The water inlet pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 3 at equal intervals, and one side is fixedly connected to... Multiple nozzles 11 spray water onto the cleaning tank 5. Since the outer wall of the cleaning tank 5 has multiple water passage holes 12 at equal intervals, the water sprayed onto the cleaning tank 5 can enter the interior of the cleaning tank 5 through the water passage holes 12 to clean the Chinese herbal medicines inside the tank. During the rotation of the cleaning tank 5, the Chinese herbal medicines continuously tumble and come into contact with the water from all directions, thereby achieving more efficient cleaning. The wastewater after cleaning flows out of the cleaning tank 5 through the water passage holes 12, completing the pretreatment of the Chinese herbal medicines. The operator can observe the cleaning status of the Chinese herbal medicines in real time through the observation window 13. The operator can conveniently and quickly start or stop the motor 8 and the water pump 202 by operating the switch 15.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The circulation mechanism 2 includes a water storage tank 201, which stores cleaning water to provide a water source for cleaning operations. The front of the water storage tank 201 is fixedly connected to the rear left end of the base 1. This connection method allows the water storage tank 201 to be stably installed on the device. A water pump 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage tank 201. The water pump 202 can draw water from the water storage tank 201 and transport it. A water delivery pipe 203 is connected to one side of the water pump 202. The water delivery pipe 203 can guide the water drawn by the water pump 202 to the water inlet pipe 10. The front end of the water delivery pipe 203 passes through the outer shell 3 and is connected to one end of the water inlet pipe 10. This connection ensures that the cleaning water can flow smoothly. The water enters the inlet pipe 10. A filter box 204 is fixedly connected to the rear right end of the base 1. The filter box 204 can filter the wastewater after use. The top of the filter box 204 is connected to the drain pipe 205. The drain pipe 205 can introduce the wastewater in the outer shell 3 into the filter box 204. The other end of the drain pipe 205 passes through the rear side of the outer shell 3, which facilitates the discharge of wastewater from the outer shell 3 to the filter box 204. The lower left side of the filter box 204 is connected to the second water supply pipe 206. The second water supply pipe 206 can transport the filtered water back to the water storage tank 201. The other end of the second water supply pipe 206 is connected to the lower right side of the water storage tank 201, realizing the recycling of water resources.

[0035] Specifically, the water pump 202 is started to send water from the storage tank 201 to the inlet pipe 10 through the water supply pipe 203, and then sprays it onto the cleaning tank 5 through multiple nozzles 11 on one side of the inlet pipe 10 for cleaning Chinese herbal medicines. After the cleaning is completed, the wastewater containing impurities flows out through the water passage holes 12 that are equally spaced on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 5. This wastewater flows into the filter box 204 through the drain pipe 205 connected to the rear side of the outer shell 3. After being filtered by the filter box 204, the impurities are removed. The filtered water flows out from the water supply pipe 206 connected to the lower left side of the filter box 204, so that the treated water returns to the storage tank 201. This cycle is repeated to form a complete water resource recycling system.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The base 1 has fixed plates 16 on both the front and rear sides of the top. The fixed plates 16 are used to enhance the stability of the connection between the base 1 and the outer shell 3. The tops of the two fixed plates 16 are fixed to the outer wall of the outer shell 3, so that the outer shell 3 can be stably placed on the base 1. The bottom of the base 1 has a support frame 17 fixedly connected. The support frame 17 can raise the base 1 and keep it at a certain distance from the ground. The bottom of the support frame 17 has a base plate 18 fixedly connected. The base plate 18 increases the contact area between the device and the ground and ensures the stability of the device when it is placed. The top right side of the cleaning tank 5 is rotatably connected to a rotating cover 19. The rotating cover 19 can close the cleaning tank 5 during the cleaning process to prevent the cleaning water from splashing out. The lower right side of the rotating cover 19 has a handle 20 fixedly connected. The handle 20 makes it convenient for the operator to open or close the rotating cover 19. Two rotating rings 4 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the inner side of the outer shell 3. The rotating rings 4 provide a support point for the rotation of the cleaning tank 5. The size of the rotating rings 4 matches that of the outer shell 3 to ensure that the rotating rings 4 can rotate smoothly inside the outer shell 3.

[0037] Specifically, the main function of the fixing plate 16 is to enhance the stability of the connection between the base 1 and the outer shell 3. The support frame 17 serves to raise the base 1, keeping the device at a certain distance from the ground. The function of the rotating cover 19 is to close the feed inlet 6 of the cleaning tank 5 during the cleaning process of Chinese herbal medicines, preventing the cleaning water from splashing out. When the motor 8 drives the gear ring 7 to make the cleaning tank 5 rotate, the rotating ring 4 can rotate smoothly inside the outer shell 3, reducing the friction when the cleaning tank 5 rotates.

[0038] Working principle: When using this pretreatment device for the production and processing of traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine enters the washing tank 5 through the feed inlet 6 on the right side of the washing tank 5. At this time, the gear 9 fixedly connected to the output end of the starter motor 8 rotates. Since the gear 9 is meshed with the gear ring 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the left side of the washing tank 5, the rotation of the gear 9 will drive the gear ring 7 to rotate, thereby causing the washing tank 5 to rotate around the rotating ring 4 inside the outer shell 3. The rotating ring 4 is rotatably connected to both sides of the outer shell 3, providing stable support for the rotation of the washing tank 5. At the same time, the external water source is connected through the water inlet pipe 1. Water is introduced into the outer casing 3. The water inlet pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 3 at equal intervals. Multiple nozzles 11 fixedly connected at equal intervals on one side will spray water onto the cleaning tank 5. Since multiple water passage holes 12 are opened at equal intervals on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 5, the water sprayed onto the cleaning tank 5 can enter the interior of the cleaning tank 5 through the water passage holes 12 to clean the Chinese herbal medicines inside the tank. During the rotation of the cleaning tank 5, the Chinese herbal medicines continuously tumble and come into contact with the water in all directions, thereby achieving more efficient cleaning. The wastewater after cleaning flows out of the cleaning tank 5 through the water passage holes 12, completing the pre-treatment cleaning process of the Chinese herbal medicines.

[0039] The water pump 202 is started to send water from the storage tank 201 to the inlet pipe 10 through the water supply pipe 203. The water is then sprayed onto the cleaning tank 5 through multiple nozzles 11 on one side of the inlet pipe 10 to clean the Chinese herbal medicines. After the cleaning is completed, the wastewater containing impurities flows out through the water passage holes 12 that are equidistantly opened on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 5. This wastewater flows into the filter box 204 through the drain pipe 205 connected to the rear side of the outer shell 3. After being filtered by the filter box 204, the impurities are removed. The filtered water flows out from the water supply pipe 206 connected to the lower left side of the filter box 204, so that the treated water returns to the storage tank 201. This cycle is repeated to form a complete water resource recycling system.

[0040] 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.
