[0026] A traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece washing device with a turning and washing mechanism includes: a washing tank 1 and a circulation device 17. The washing tank 1 is provided with a support leg 2 at its lower part and a top plate 3 at its upper part. A feeding hopper 4 is provided on the top plate 3. The washing tank 1 is provided with a vibrating feeding part 5 and a water pipe 6 inside. A rinsing nozzle 7 is provided on the water pipe 6. A partition plate 8 is provided at the bottom of the washing tank 1. A washing pool 9 and a rinsing pool 11 are respectively located on both sides of the partition plate 8. A washing component 10 is provided at the corresponding position of the washing pool 9. A bubble rinsing device 12 and a transfer component 13 are provided at the corresponding position of the rinsing pool 11. A collection box 14 is slidably connected to the washing tank 1. A water inlet pipe 15 is provided at the upper part of the washing pool 9 and a drain pipe 16 is provided at the bottom of the washing pool 9.

[0027] The Chinese herbal medicine slices are added from the feed hopper 4 into the washing tank 1. They first fall onto the vibrating feeding section 5 for rinsing, then fall into the washing tank 9 where they are continuously agitated and cleaned by the washing component 10. Finally, they enter the rinsing tank 11 and are rinsed by the bubble rinsing device 12. The transfer component 13 then scoops the Chinese herbal medicine slices out of the rinsing tank 11 and transfers them to the collection box 14. The circulation device 17 allows the rinsing water to be recycled.

[0028] The vibrating feeding part 5 includes a feeding plate 51, a rotating shaft 52 and a first motor 53. The rotating shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The lower part of the feeding plate 51 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 52. The first motor 53 is located outside the cleaning tank 1. The output end of the first motor 53 passes through the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to a cam 54.

[0029] The Chinese herbal medicine pieces fall from the feed hopper 4 onto the discharge plate 51, where the rinsing nozzle 7 rinses them, wetting and washing away some of the impurities on the surface, thus increasing the cleaning effect. The rotation of the cam 54 causes the discharge plate 51 to vibrate continuously, accelerating the discharge speed of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces and preventing accumulation.

[0030] The cleaning assembly 10 includes a second motor 101 and a first rotating shaft 102. Two sets of the first rotating shaft 102 are provided and rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 1. The output end of the second motor 101 is connected to one set of the first rotating shaft 102. A first synchronous pulley 103 is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 102 away from the second motor 101. A first synchronous belt 104 is provided on the outer side of the first synchronous pulley 103. A pull plate 105 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 102.

[0031] After the second motor 101 is started, it drives the first synchronous wheel 103 and the first synchronous belt 104 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 102. The agitator plate 105 rotates synchronously to stir and clean the Chinese herbal medicine pieces falling from the vibrating feeding section 5.

[0032] The bubble rinsing device 12 includes a support 121 and a bubble generator 123. An air pump 122 is installed on the support 121, and the bubble generator 123 is installed in the rinsing tank 11. The air pump 122 passes through the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the bubble generator 123.

[0033] The bubble rinsing device 12 allows the Chinese herbal medicine slices to be rinsed with bubbles in the rinsing tank 11, avoiding damage caused by physical stirring and cleaning methods.

[0034] The transfer assembly 13 includes a third motor 131, a second rotating shaft 132, and a conveyor belt 135. Two sets of the second rotating shaft 132 are provided and rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 1. The output end of the third motor 131 is connected to one set of the second rotating shaft 132. A second synchronous pulley 133 is fixedly connected to the end of the second rotating shaft 132 away from the third motor 131. A second synchronous belt 134 is provided on the outer side of the second synchronous pulley 133. Material baffles 136 are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 135 at equal intervals. Water permeable holes 137 are provided on the material baffles 136.

[0035] After the third motor 131 starts, it drives the second synchronous pulley 133 and the second synchronous belt 134 to rotate through the second rotating shaft 132. The conveyor belt 135 rotates synchronously. The lower end of the conveyor belt 135 is located below the water surface of the rinsing tank 11. When moving, the material baffle 136 picks up the floating Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the rinsing tank 11 and brings them to the collection box 14. At the same time, the water permeable hole 137 can quickly drain the water to prevent the Chinese herbal medicine pieces from being carried away by the water flow and reduce the water attached to the Chinese herbal medicine pieces when they are picked up.

[0036] The circulation device 17 includes a water tank 171, a water supply pipe 173, and a return pipe 174. A water pump 172 is installed on the water tank 171. The two ends of the water supply pipe 173 are connected to the water pump 172 and the cleaning tank 1, respectively. A filter box 175 is installed on the return pipe 174. The two ends of the return pipe 174 are connected to the water tank 171 and the cleaning tank 1, respectively.

[0037] The rinsing water can be recycled through the circulation device 17, and the filter box 175 can filter out some impurities to prevent the water supply pipe 173 and return pipe 174 from clogging during use.

[0038] The working principle of the herbal medicine washing device with a turning and washing mechanism provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0039] The Chinese herbal medicine slices are added from the feed hopper 4 into the washing tank 1. They first fall onto the vibrating feeding section 5 for rinsing, then fall into the washing tank 9 where they are continuously agitated and cleaned by the washing component 10. Finally, they enter the rinsing tank 11 and are rinsed by the bubble rinsing device 12. The transfer component 13 then scoops the Chinese herbal medicine slices out of the rinsing tank 11 and transfers them to the collection box 14. The circulation device 17 allows the rinsing water to be recycled.

[0040] Compared with related technologies, the herbal medicine washing device with a turning and washing mechanism provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] When the Chinese herbal medicine slices pass through the vibrating feeding section 5 and the washing tank 9, they are rinsed and turned over respectively, which enhances the cleaning effect. The transfer component 13 can take out the rinsed Chinese herbal medicine slices from the rinsing tank 11 and transfer them to the collection box 14, which reduces the labor intensity of the staff. The circulation device 17 can recycle the rinsing water and save water.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
