Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine soaking and cleaning device with conveying function. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs refer to substances used for the prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of diseases, as well as for rehabilitation and health maintenance, under the guidance of TCM theory. TCM herbs mainly come from natural medicines and their processed products, including plant-based medicines, animal-based medicines, mineral-based medicines, and some chemical and biological products. Some TCM herbs require multiple processing steps before use. The processing sequence of TCM herbs is usually as follows: harvesting, washing, drying, cutting, processing, baking, packaging, and storage.
[0003] When cleaning Chinese medicinal herbs, a soaking and cleaning device with a conveying function is needed. This device mainly uses clean water to wash away the dust, mud, and some residual chemical pesticides attached to the surface, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the product. The purpose of selection is to manually remove unwanted impurities from the product to ensure product quality and meet product acceptance standards. However, when using existing soaking and cleaning devices with conveying functions, most of the Chinese medicinal herbs float on the water surface during soaking, which prevents the water from fully penetrating into the herbs, thus affecting the soaking effect.

[0016] Preferably, the three eccentric rods each have a different tilt angle, and the rotation axis of the three eccentric rods coincides with the axis of the drive rod.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the three eccentric rods can generate different motion trajectories when rotating, thereby realizing the complex downward pressing motion of the lifting frame.
[0018] Preferably, there are three lifting frames, each of which is slidably connected to an eccentric rod.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the three lifting frames can have different downward trajectories.
[0020] Preferably, the pressing part also has a pressure plate disposed at the bottom of the lifting frame, which is located directly above the conveyor belt.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, downward pressure can be applied to the medicinal materials on the conveyor belt to prevent them from floating on the water surface and ensure that the medicinal materials are fully soaked.

[0030] 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.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This embodiment provides a technical solution: a traditional Chinese medicine soaking and cleaning device with a conveying function, comprising a soaking tank 1 and a pressing part 2.
[0033] The soaking tank 1 has a conveyor belt 101 installed inside the soaking tank 1. The conveyor belt 101 is equipped with a power source. The conveyor belt 101 is a common material conveying equipment, widely used in food processing, pharmaceutical, metallurgy, chemical and other industries. The working principle of the conveyor belt 101 is based on the combination of chain drive and mesh belt conveying, which can realize the continuous and stable conveying of materials. The top of the soaking tank 1 is equipped with a spray pipe 103. The spray pipe 103 needs to be connected to an external high-pressure water pump when in use. The above is the prior art, and will not be described in detail below.
[0034] Several baffles 102 are neatly arranged on the surface of the conveyor belt 101. Several small holes are opened on the surface of the conveyor belt 101. Several spray nozzles are opened at the bottom of the spray pipe 103 and located directly above the conveyor belt 101. The spray pipe 103 uses liquid supplied by an external high-pressure water pump to spray and distribute under pressure, thereby cleaning the medicinal materials on the surface of the conveyor belt 101. The baffles 102 can effectively separate the medicinal materials, preventing them from accumulating or sliding during the conveying process, ensuring uniform cleaning. The spray nozzles at the bottom of the spray pipe 103 are located directly above the conveyor belt 101, which can evenly spray water onto the surface of the medicinal materials, reducing water waste and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0035] The lower pressure part 2 is located on the top of the soaking tank 1. A support frame 201 is fixedly installed on the top of the soaking tank 1. A drive rod 204 is horizontally rotatably installed inside the support frame 201. Several lifting frames 207 are vertically installed inside the support frame 201. The fixing method is an existing detachable fixing method, such as bolt connection or snap-fit connection. The drive rod 204 horizontally passes through several lifting frames 207 and is slidably connected to the lifting frames 207. A motor 206 is fixedly installed on the side of the support frame 201. The output end of the motor 206 is connected to the drive rod 204. The working principle of the motor 206 is based on electricity. Magnetic induction and Lorentz force: Motor 206 generates force in a magnetic field through current, thereby driving mechanical motion. The above is existing technology and will not be elaborated further below. When selecting a model, its power and speed should be selected to suit the needs of the device to ensure that the object to be driven is driven. Motor 206 drives the drive rod 204 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting frame 207 to slide up and down periodically. By rotating the drive rod 204 driven by motor 206, the up and down movement of the lifting frame 207 can be controlled, so that the Chinese medicinal materials floating on the water surface can be pressed down to the water surface, allowing water to fully penetrate into the interior of the medicinal materials.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This embodiment provides a technical solution: a traditional Chinese medicine soaking and cleaning device with a conveying function, including a pressing part 2, a drive rod 204, and a lifting frame 207.
[0038] A sliding groove 202 is provided inside the support frame 201. The lifting frame 207 is embedded in the sliding groove 202 and vertically slidably connected to the support frame 201. This allows the lifting frame 207 to be embedded in the sliding groove 202 and vertically slidably connected to the support frame 201, ensuring that the lifting frame 207 remains stable when moving up and down, and avoiding shaking or deviation.
[0039] A rotating groove 203 is provided inside the support frame 201. The drive rod 204 is horizontally embedded in the rotating groove 203 and is horizontally rotatably connected to the support frame 201, so that the drive rod 204 can rotate horizontally inside the support frame 201.
[0040] An eccentric rod 205 is integrally provided inside the drive rod 204. A limit groove 208 is provided on the top of the lifting frame 207. The eccentric rod 205 passes through the limit groove 208 laterally and is slidably connected to the lifting frame 207. When the drive rod 204 rotates, the eccentric movement of the eccentric rod 205 drives the lifting frame 207 to slide up and down periodically.
[0041] Each of the three eccentric rods 205 has a different tilt angle, and the rotation axis of the three eccentric rods 205 coincides with the axis of the drive rod 204, which allows the three eccentric rods 205 to generate different motion trajectories when rotating, thereby realizing the complex downward pressing motion of the lifting frame 207.
[0042] There are three lifting frames 207, each of which is slidably connected to an eccentric rod 205, allowing the three lifting frames 207 to have different downward pressing trajectories. A pressure plate 209 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 207. The fixing method is an existing detachable fixing, such as bolt connection, buckle connection, etc. The pressure plate 209 is located directly above the conveyor belt 101, which can apply downward pressure to the medicinal materials on the conveyor belt 101 to prevent the medicinal materials from floating on the water surface and ensure that the medicinal materials are fully soaked.
[0043] Working principle: First, the device is powered on and the soaking tank 1 is filled with clean water, so that the water covers the conveyor belt 101. The Chinese medicinal materials are transported from one end of the soaking tank 1 to the other end by the conveyor belt 101. The baffle 102 on the surface of the conveyor belt 101 prevents the medicinal materials from piling up. The spray pipe 103 sprays water evenly to clean the medicinal materials. At the same time, the motor 206 drives the drive rod 204 to rotate, so that the rotating eccentric rod 205 drives the lifting frame 207 to move up and down periodically. The pressure plate 209 moves up and down to apply downward pressure to the medicinal materials, preventing the medicinal materials from floating on the water surface and ensuring that the medicinal materials are fully soaked. This realizes the continuous soaking, cleaning and pressing of Chinese medicinal materials, ensuring that the medicinal materials are clean and uniform and meet the product quality requirements.
