[0002] After being harvested, medicinal herbs need to undergo a series of processes such as washing and drying before they can be used in medicine. The washing of medicinal herbs requires the use of special washing equipment.
[0003] A search revealed a rotary washing machine (publication number: CN119702557A), which relates to the field of rotary washing machine technology. The machine includes a washing tank with a rotating cavity on its lower interior side. An output motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the washing tank, positioned at the center of the bottom surface. The output end of the motor has a connecting assembly. This connecting assembly includes a supporting circular mesh plate, several connecting vertical blocks, several N-shaped groove blocks, and a connecting groove cylinder. Two arc-shaped retaining rings are embedded on opposite sides of the N-shaped groove blocks, and semi-arc ring blocks are movably installed on the opposite surfaces of the two arc-shaped retaining rings.
[0004] Existing technologies mainly achieve contact cleaning of medicinal materials with water through the circular motion of a cleaning tank loaded with medicinal materials. The mud and sand washed off by the medicinal materials will settle at the bottom of the cleaning tank. The remaining mud and sand impurities are difficult to filter with the water flow, which will affect the cleaning quality of the medicinal materials in the cleaning tank. There is room for optimization.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a rotary cleaning tank and a medicine washing machine. Utility Model Content

[0016] This utility model provides a rotary washing tank and a medicine washing machine. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This rotary washing tank and herb washing machine, by loading medicinal materials into the cavity of the loading tank, and through the rotation of the loading tank, the side plates move circumferentially with the loading tank. Due to the inclined distribution of the side plates, water flows around the loading tank, promoting water to enter the loading tank through the water holes to rinse the medicinal materials. At the same time, due to the water flow around the loading tank caused by the side plates, in conjunction with the side grooves extending to the outer wall of the loading tank, the mud and sand impurities deposited at the bottom of the loading tank will enter the side grooves from the side plates and then be thrown out of the loading tank, ensuring a low impurity content in the loading tank. At the same time, promoting water flow at the bottom of the loading tank further improves the cleaning quality of the bottom medicinal materials, ensuring the cleaning quality of the medicinal materials. By increasing the water flow inside and outside the loading tank, the contact between water and medicinal materials is promoted, improving the cleaning quality and efficiency, while avoiding mechanical rubbing and damage to the medicinal materials, thus avoiding the loss of medicinal components.
[0018] 2. This rotary cleaning tank and washing machine, by setting up scrapers, can promote the flow of mud and sand deposited at the bottom of the loading tank with water as the scrapers move in a circular motion with the loading tank, which facilitates sewage discharge and avoids mud and sand settling and clogging.
[0019] 3. This rotary cleaning tank and washing machine achieves transmission through the engagement of the support plate with the top surface of the drop hole. The rotational cleaning of the loading tank is achieved by the motor driving the support plate and the loading tank to rotate. The ratchet tooth engagement structure facilitates the connection between the loading tank and the support plate, while ensuring the transmission stability between the loading tank and the support plate, and makes it convenient to hoist the loading tank for loading and unloading.

[0027] A rotary washing tank and a medicine washing machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0028] The loading barrel 20 is a cylinder with an open top, and a number of water holes 21 are provided on the circumferential surface of the loading barrel 20.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a flow guiding structure is set on the side wall of the loading tank 20 for spraying cleaning fluid. The flow guiding structure includes side grooves 22, top injection holes 23 and side plates 24. Several side grooves 22 are opened on the side wall of the loading tank 20. Several top injection holes 23 connected to the side grooves 22 are opened at the bottom of the loading tank 20. Several side plates 24 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the loading tank 20. Several water holes 21 are distributed in rows on the outer wall of the loading tank 20. A side plate 24 is set on one side of each row of water holes 21. The side plate 24 forms a plate with a quadrilateral horizontal cross section. The side plate 24 extends inclined towards one side of the loading tank 20. The side grooves 22 are rectangular grooves. The side grooves 22 extend from the outer circumference of the loading tank 20 towards the center position of the bottom of the loading tank 20. Several rows of top injection holes 23 are set at the bottom of the loading tank 20, with the same number as the side grooves 22. Each row of top injection holes 23 is equidistantly distributed from the inner wall of the loading tank 20 towards the center.
[0030] In this solution, the medicinal materials are loaded into the cavity of the loading tank 20. As the loading tank 20 rotates, the side plates 24 move in a circular motion with it. Due to the inclined distribution of the side plates 24, water flows around the loading tank 20, promoting water to enter the loading tank 20 through the water holes 21 to wash the medicinal materials. At the same time, the water flow around the loading tank 20 caused by the side plates 24, combined with the side grooves 22 extending to the outer wall of the loading tank 20, allows the mud and sand impurities deposited at the bottom of the loading tank 20 to enter the side grooves 22 from the side plates 24 and then be thrown out of the loading tank 20. This ensures that the impurity content in the loading tank 20 is low, and the cleaning quality of the medicinal materials is guaranteed. By increasing the water flow inside and outside the loading tank 20, the contact between water and medicinal materials is promoted, improving the cleaning quality and efficiency, while avoiding mechanical rubbing that damages the medicinal materials and causes the loss of medicinal components.
[0031] A scraper 26 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the loading tank 20. The scraper 26 forms a plate with an arc-shaped horizontal cross section. The scraper 26 does not contact the bottom of the outer shell 10. By setting the scraper 26, the scraper 26 can promote the flow of mud and sand deposited below the loading tank 20 with water during the circumferential movement of the loading tank 20, which facilitates sewage discharge and avoids mud and sand settling and clogging.
[0032] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a washing machine includes a housing 10 with a cavity. A motor 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 10, and a drain pipe 11 for discharging waste is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 10. All the above-mentioned rotating washing tanks are provided inside the housing 10. The loading tank 20 is connected to the motor 12 for transmission. A support plate 13 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 12. A drop hole 25 is opened at the bottom of the loading tank 20. A ratchet tooth is opened at the top of the support plate 13. A ratchet tooth groove is provided on the inner top surface of the drop hole 25.
[0033] In this design, the top of the outer casing 10 is the feeding port. The loading barrel 20 can be hoisted into the outer casing 10. When the loading barrel 20 falls to the bottom of the outer casing 10, the support plate 13 is inserted into the drop hole 25. The support plate 13 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of 10 through a bearing. The transmission is achieved by the engagement of the support plate 13 with the inner top surface of the drop hole 25. The motor 12 is connected to the power supply and control switch. The motor 12 drives the support plate 13 and the loading barrel 20 to rotate and achieve the rotational cleaning of the loading barrel 20. The ratchet tooth engagement structure facilitates the connection between the loading barrel 20 and the support plate 13, while ensuring the transmission stability between the loading barrel 20 and the support plate 13, making it convenient to hoist the loading barrel 20 for loading and unloading.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The medicinal materials are loaded into the cavity of the loading barrel 20. As the loading barrel 20 rotates, the side plates 24 move circumferentially with it. Due to the inclined distribution of the side plates 24, water flows near the loading barrel 20, promoting water to enter the loading barrel 20 through the water holes 21 and wash the medicinal materials. Simultaneously, the water flow around the loading barrel 20 caused by the side plates 24, combined with the side grooves 22 extending to the outer wall of the loading barrel 20, allows mud and impurities deposited at the bottom of the loading barrel 20 to enter the side grooves 22 from the side plates 24 and then be ejected from the loading barrel 20, ensuring a low impurity content within the loading barrel 20. A scraper 26 is also included. During the circular motion of the loading barrel 20, the sediment deposited below the loading barrel 20 can be promoted to flow with the water, which facilitates sewage discharge and avoids sedimentation and blockage. The top of the outer shell 10 is the feeding port. The loading barrel 20 can be hoisted into the outer shell 10. When the loading barrel 20 falls to the bottom of the outer shell 10, the support plate 13 is inserted into the drop hole 25. The support plate 13 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of 10 through the bearing. The transmission is achieved by the engagement of the support plate 13 with the inner top surface of the drop hole 25. The motor 12 is connected to the power supply and control switch. The motor 12 drives the support plate 13 and the loading barrel 20 to rotate and achieve the rotational cleaning of the loading barrel 20.
