Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, specifically a device for rinsing Chinese medicinal materials in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] Prepared Chinese medicinal herbs are Chinese medicinal materials that have been processed according to the theories and methods of traditional Chinese medicine and can be used directly in clinical practice. Cleaning the Chinese medicinal materials is an important step in the processing of Chinese medicinal herbs.
[0003] Existing devices often fail to thoroughly clean Chinese medicinal herbs, especially those with mud and sand adhering to their crevices. Traditional rinsing methods mostly involve soaking and rinsing, but this is not enough to remove the mud and sand completely. Furthermore, the herbs may break due to excessive water flow during rinsing, affecting their efficacy and quality. Additionally, the water used for cleaning herbs cannot be effectively recycled, resulting in water waste. Therefore, a Chinese medicinal herb rinsing device for processing Chinese medicine is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.
[0027] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 This invention discloses a rinsing device for processing Chinese medicinal materials. The device includes a support frame 1, a rinsing tank 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1, an ultrasonic generator 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1, the probe of the ultrasonic generator 3 penetrating and extending into the interior of the rinsing tank 2, a motor 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 1, a mounting plate 5 rotatably connected to the outside of the output shaft of the motor 4, a basket 6 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 5 by fasteners, a filter assembly 7 fixedly connected to the outside of the rinsing tank 2 by a pipe, a water pump 8 fixedly connected to the outside of the filter assembly 7 by a pipe, and multiple nozzles 9 fixedly connected to the outside of the water pump 8 by a pipe.
[0028] The mounting plate 5 has multiple threaded holes inside, and the basket 6 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 10. The limiting plate 10 has bolts and knobs 11 that are threadedly connected to multiple threaded holes inside.
[0029] In this embodiment, during actual use, the basket 6 can be placed on the mounting plate 5 and fixed to the mounting plate 5 by means of bolt knob 11. Bolt knob 11 facilitates manual installation and disassembly, making it easier to pick up or place the basket 6.
[0030] The basket 6 is hollowed out, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outside of the basket 6. Multiple nozzles 9 are located above the basket 6.
[0031] In this embodiment, during actual use, the basket 6 can be easily lifted by the handle, and multiple nozzles 9 can spray water downwards to rinse the medicinal materials. The water flow sprayed from the nozzles 9 has a certain pressure and impact force. Even if the water overflows the medicinal materials, when the water flow sprays onto the surface of the medicinal materials, it will still impact the mud and other impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials. The water flow from the nozzles impacts the water, creating disturbance and circulation in the water flow, causing the mud and other impurities in the water to be suspended, making it easier for them to separate from the medicinal materials and be removed in the subsequent sedimentation or filtration process, loosening and falling off, thereby achieving a cleaning effect.
[0032] The multiple nozzles 9 are arranged in a ring, and all of them face the center of their axis of symmetry. The orientation points of the multiple nozzles 9 are on the same horizontal plane as the center of the mounting plate 5.
[0033] In this embodiment, during actual use, the multiple nozzles 9 arranged in a ring can spray water to clean different locations. The water sprayed from the nozzles 9 has a certain impact force under the action of the water pump 8, which will rinse the medicinal materials and clean them in conjunction with the ultrasonic generator 3.
[0034] The rinsing tank 2 has a stainless steel basket installed in its outlet, and the outlet of the rinsing tank 2 is set at an angle.
[0035] In this embodiment, during actual use, some large particles of mud and sand may sometimes adhere to the surface of the medicinal materials. The mud and sand washed off will flow down the bottom wall of the inclined rinsing tank 2 into the interior of the stainless steel basket. The stainless steel basket has a handle, which is easy to lift and can initially intercept and filter large particles of mud and sand, reducing the pressure on the subsequent filtration components.
[0036] The filter assembly 7 includes a protective frame 71 that is fixedly connected to the rinsing tank 2 and the water pump 8 via pipes. The protective frame 71 has a filter screen layer 72 inside and an activated carbon layer 73 located to the right of the filter screen layer 72 inside.
[0037] In this embodiment, during actual use, the protective frame 71 inside the filter assembly 7 is designed as a drawer structure, which facilitates the removal and replacement of the two filter layers. The protective frame 71 is locked to the filter mesh layer 72 and the activated carbon layer 73 respectively by bolts, and their contact surfaces are sealed by sealing gaskets to prevent water leakage. The filter mesh layer 72 can intercept and filter the mud and sand in the water, while the activated carbon layer 73 can adsorb odor molecules or suspended solids in the water, further cleaning the water so that the water discharged from the nozzle 9 is cleaner.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] When rinsing and cleaning medicinal materials, first place the materials in the basket 6, then fix the basket 6 to the mounting plate 5 of the rinsing tank 2 using bolts and knobs 11. Before use, a certain amount of clean water is added to the rinsing tank 2. The water level is reasonably controlled according to the type, quantity, and size of the medicinal materials to ensure that the water flow can fully cover the surface of the materials. The nozzle 9 is normally set to spray towards the center. The water pressure and flow rate of the nozzle 9 are adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure that the nozzle rinsing achieves the best cleaning effect. For example, for medicinal materials with a lot of mud and sand, the water pressure and flow rate of the nozzle 9 can be appropriately increased to enhance the impact force and cleaning ability of the water flow. For medicinal materials with a more fragile texture, the water pressure of the nozzle 9 can be appropriately reduced to avoid damage to the medicinal materials. The ultrasonic generator 3 can be used to further improve the cleaning effect, thereby cleaning the impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials more thoroughly, while also avoiding mechanical damage to the medicinal materials.
