[0002] As an important component of traditional medicine, the quality and purity of Chinese medicinal herbs directly affect their efficacy and the health and safety of patients. Cleaning is a crucial step in the processing of Chinese medicinal herbs. However, traditional cleaning methods for Chinese medicinal herbs are often inefficient and incomplete, failing to meet the demands of the modern Chinese medicinal herb processing industry for high efficiency, cleanliness, and environmental friendliness.
[0003] Traditional methods of cleaning Chinese medicinal herbs often involve manual brushing or simple mechanical agitation. While manual brushing can thoroughly remove dirt from the surface of the herbs, it is inefficient, labor-intensive, and makes it difficult to ensure consistency and standardization. Mechanical agitation, although more efficient, often results in incomplete cleaning, especially for herbs with stubborn dirt or fine impurities, failing to achieve the desired cleaning effect.
[0004] With the development of technology, some rinsing devices for Chinese medicinal herbs have appeared on the market, which have improved cleaning efficiency to some extent. However, many existing rinsing devices still have shortcomings in design, such as uneven water flow distribution, insufficient rinsing time, and insufficient cleaning intensity. As a result, after only one rinsing process, dirt and impurities remain on the surface of the medicinal herbs, affecting their purity and quality.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly efficient and thorough rinsing device for Chinese medicinal herbs. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Example 1: A rinsing device for traditional Chinese medicine, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a water tank 2, a hollow support rod 3, a high-pressure nozzle 301, a rinsing cylinder 5, a discharge port 7, and a cleaning mechanism. The water tank 2 is mounted on the base 1, and the rinsing cylinder 5 is installed on the front side of the water tank 2. Hollow support rods 3 are installed on both sides of the rinsing cylinder 5, and the discharge port 7 is installed at the lower end of the rinsing cylinder 5. Multiple high-pressure nozzles 301 are installed on the hollow support rods 3 to facilitate high-pressure rinsing of large areas of Chinese medicinal materials. The cleaning mechanism is installed inside the rinsing cylinder 5. The high-pressure water flow rinses the Chinese medicinal materials, which can penetrate into the tiny crevices on the surface of the medicinal materials to effectively remove attached soil, sand, impurities, and some microorganisms, thereby improving the cleanliness of the medicinal materials. It can also perform multiple high-pressure rinsings on the Chinese medicinal materials to ensure that the contaminants on the surface of the medicinal materials are thoroughly removed, reduce cleaning dead corners, and improve the cleaning quality.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes: a feed inlet 8, a motor 9, a wire mesh 10, a spiral stirring blade 11, a first pipe 13, and a second pipe 14. The washing cylinder 5 is equipped with a wire mesh 10, which is a cylindrical mesh. The washing cylinder 5 is connected to the first pipe 13, and the upper end of the first pipe 13 is connected to the feed inlet 8. The top of the first pipe 13 is connected to the second pipe 14. The upper end of the wire mesh 10 is connected to the opening of the second pipe 14. The motor 9 is mounted on the second pipe 14 through a small mounting bracket. The motor 9 is connected to the spiral stirring blade 11 through an output shaft. The spiral stirring blade 11 is located inside the wire mesh 10 and is in close contact with its inner side.
[0023] When it is necessary to rinse the Chinese medicinal materials, the materials are poured in through the feed inlet 8 and enter the rinsing cylinder 5 through the first pipe 13. The motor 9 is started, and the motor 9 drives the spiral stirring blade 11 to rotate through the output shaft, so that the Chinese medicinal materials rise slowly and spirally along the spiral stirring blade 11. At the same time, the high-pressure nozzle 301 is turned on, and the water in the water tank 2 is drawn to the high-pressure nozzle 301 through the hollow support rod 3 and then sprayed onto the Chinese medicinal materials under high pressure to rinse them. When the Chinese medicinal materials rise to the highest point of the spiral stirring blade 11, they slide down along the second pipe 14 and move into the first pipe 13, and then move into the rinsing cylinder 5 for the next round of rinsing. This process is repeated many times to perform multiple long-term high-pressure rinsings on the Chinese medicinal materials, effectively removing impurities such as mud, dust, mold, and bacteria attached to the surface, ensuring the cleanliness of the Chinese medicinal materials, and ensuring that the quality of the products will not be affected by impurities during subsequent processing.
[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes: a protective plate 4, a connecting plate 6, a brush 12, and a filter screen 15. The two hollow support rods 3 are jointly provided with a protective plate 4, which can prevent impurities from splashing from the side and top during washing. The hollow support rods 3 are L-shaped rods, and a connecting plate 6 is installed between the two rods, which improves the load-bearing capacity of the support structure. A brush 12 is installed on the surface of the spiral stirring blade 11, which can perform simple brushing of Chinese medicinal materials. A filter screen 15 is embedded in the water tank 2, which can perform simple filtration of circulating water.
[0025] As the Chinese medicinal herbs rise with the rotation of the spiral stirring blades 11, the brushes 12 on the spiral stirring blades 11 can brush away dust, mud, lint, or other tiny impurities adhering to the surface of the herbs, thereby improving the overall quality of the herbs. The water used to rinse the herbs will leak through the wire mesh 10 and fall into the water tank 2 through the filter screen 15 for recycling. The filter screen 15 can effectively trap impurities, mud, lint, microorganisms, etc. that fall off the surface of the herbs during rinsing, preventing these impurities from entering the water tank 2 and affecting the quality of the subsequent rinsing water.
[0026] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
