Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicine processing equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device for Chinese medicine processing. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning is an indispensable and fundamental step in the processing of Chinese medicinal herbs. Its core function is to remove non-medicinal components adhering to the surface of the herbs through physical means. For root, stem, mineral, and animal-derived Chinese medicinal herbs, the cleaning process not only needs to remove impurities such as mud and gravel adhering to the surface, but also needs to effectively remove pesticide contaminants and microorganisms remaining from the cultivation process.

[0003] Currently, when cleaning root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials, it is necessary to soak them first to soften the soil, and then remove the attached soil. In the traditional cleaning process of root and rhizome Chinese medicinal materials, although high-pressure water jet rinsing can remove some surface impurities, its one-way strong impact force can easily damage the skin of the medicinal materials, causing the internal effective ingredients to be lost with the water flow. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing methods for cleaning Chinese medicine, which can lead to the loss of medicinal materials, and to propose a cleaning device for processing Chinese medicine.

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cleaning device for processing traditional Chinese medicine includes a cleaning tank. L-shaped rotating rods are symmetrically and rotatably arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning tank. The top of the vertical section of the rotating rod extends to the outside of the cleaning tank. A fixing box for fixing traditional Chinese medicine is rotatably connected to the middle of the horizontal section of the rotating rod. An arc-shaped brush is arranged inside the cleaning tank. The curvature of the arc-shaped brush matches the swing trajectory of the rotating rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Example: This example provides a cleaning device for processing traditional Chinese medicine. See [link to example]. Figures 1-4 Specifically, the system includes a cleaning pool 1, with L-shaped rotating rods 11 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning pool 1. The top of the vertical section of the rotating rod 11 extends to the outside of the cleaning pool 1, and a fixing box 2 for fixing Chinese medicine is rotatably connected to the middle of the horizontal section of the rotating rod 11. An arc-shaped brush 12 is installed inside the cleaning pool 1, and the curvature of the arc-shaped brush 12 matches the swing trajectory of the rotating rod 11. The root and rhizome Chinese medicine is placed in the fixing box 2, and the rotating rod 11 drives the fixing box 2 to rotate downwards and enter below the water surface of the cleaning pool 1. The hard soil attached to the outer wall of the root and rhizome Chinese medicine is soaked first. After soaking, the rotating rod 11 drives the fixing box 2 to swing back and forth below the water surface, allowing some soil to fall off. During the swinging process, one side of the fixing box 2 will pass over the arc-shaped brush 12, and the arc-shaped brush 12 will come into contact with the stem Chinese medicine, brushing off the soil attached to the stem Chinese medicine, improving cleaning efficiency. The soft brush comes into contact with the stem Chinese medicine, effectively ensuring the quality of the medicinal materials.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing box 2 includes a placement frame 21. The center of both ends of the placement frame 21 is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating rod 11. A pressure plate 22 is rotatably provided at the opening of the placement frame 21. A retaining ring 23 is fixedly provided at the middle edge of the pressure plate 22. A retaining block 24 is fixedly provided at the middle edge of the placement frame 21. The back of the placement frame 21 is lattice-shaped. The pressure plate 22 is composed of several round rods. After placing the stem-type Chinese medicine in the placement frame 21, the pressure plate 22 is rotated to contact the stem-type Chinese medicine. Then, the retaining ring 23 is hung on the retaining block 24 to fix the position of the stem-type Chinese medicine. The retaining ring 23 is elastic. It can be removed from the retaining block 24 by forcefully turning the retaining ring 23.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a semi-circular rod 3 is provided in the cleaning pool 1, and a connecting ring 31 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the fixed box 2. The connecting ring 31 is slidably connected to the semi-circular rod 3. Three fixed rods 32 are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the semi-circular rod 3. The openings of the fixed rods 32 and the connecting rings 31 are in the same direction. The connecting rings 31 on the placement frame 21 are fitted onto the semi-circular rod 3. The semi-circular rod 3 is set with the axis of the rotating rod 11 as the center. When the rotating rod 11 drives the fixed box 2 to rotate, the placement frame 21 drives the connecting rings 31 to slide along the semi-circular rod 3, so that when the fixed box 2 moves, it always maintains a certain state, so that the pressure plate 22 always faces the arc-shaped brush 12, which makes it convenient for the brush to clean the soil on the stems of Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a cross-shaped bracket 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The lower end of the bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the arc-shaped brush 12. The bracket 4 is used to fix the arc-shaped brush 12. The upper end of the bracket 4 is located above the rotating rod 11, so that the rotating rod 11 can rotate below the water surface of the cleaning tank 1.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a swing motor 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cleaning pool 1. The output end of the swing motor 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 11. The swing motor 5 is used to drive the rotating rod 11 to swing. By changing the swing amplitude and speed, some mud is thrown off. By swinging slowly, the fixed box 2 is lifted off the water surface, so that the stem-type Chinese medicine in the fixed box 2 can be loaded and unloaded.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 As shown, a sedimentation tank 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. An inlet pipe 61 is installed inside the sedimentation tank 6, with one end of the inlet pipe 61 located above the cleaning tank 1. A water supply pipe 62 is fixedly installed on the cleaning tank 1, with one end of the water supply pipe 62 located above the sedimentation tank 6. Drainage pipes 7 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both the sedimentation tank 6 and the cleaning tank 1. Valves are installed on the drainage pipe 7, the inlet pipe 61, and the water supply pipe 62. A portion of the muddy water in the cleaning tank 1 is discharged into the sedimentation tank 6 through the water supply pipe 62. The mud adheres to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 6 through sedimentation. The inlet pipe 61 is connected to a water pump in the sedimentation tank 6. The settled water is guided through the inlet pipe 61 into the cleaning tank 1 for water recycling.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
