[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine washing and discharging device, comprising a washing support 1; a winding roller 12 rotatably connected to the top of the washing support 1; a first motor 13 fixedly connected to the side wall of the washing support 1; a worm gear 14 fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 13; a worm wheel 15 fixedly connected to the end of the winding roller 12; a pair of insert rods 16 rotatably connected to the top of the washing support 1; a pull rope 17 fixedly connected to the end of the insert rods 16; the other end of the pull rope 17 fixedly connected to the middle of the winding roller 12; a washing basket 18 slidably mounted on the washing pool of the washing support 1; slots 19 are provided on the top of both sides of the washing basket 18; during operation, when it is necessary to wash the traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine is put into the washing basket 18, the washing basket 18 is half-immersed in the washing pool on the washing support 1, and the water covers the traditional Chinese medicine, thus washing the traditional Chinese medicine. After cleaning, the cleaning basket 18 is slid towards the insertion rod 16, and the end of the insertion rod 16 is inserted into the slot 19. Then, the first motor 13 is started to drive the worm gear 14 to rotate, and the worm gear 14 drives the worm wheel 15 and the winding roller 12 to rotate, so that the winding roller 12 winds up the pull rope 17. The wound pull rope 17 pulls the end of the insertion rod 16, causing the insertion rod 16 and the cleaning basket 18 connected to the insertion rod 16 to rotate, thereby lifting one end of the cleaning basket 18 out of the cleaning pool. The Chinese medicinal materials in the cleaning basket 18 will leave the water and slide out from the lower end of the cleaning basket 18 when one end of the cleaning basket 18 is lifted and tilted. With the above structure, after the Chinese medicinal materials are cleaned, the cleaning basket 18 and the Chinese medicinal materials can be lifted out of the cleaning pool with less effort and the Chinese medicinal materials can be dumped and discharged.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a guide hopper 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning support 1; a sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the middle of the cleaning support 1; a rotating cylinder 22 is rotatably connected to the middle of the sleeve 21; a first gear 23 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating cylinder 22; a second motor 24 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the guide hopper 2; a second gear 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 24; multiple drainage grooves 26 are provided in the middle of the rotating cylinder 22; a closing mechanism is provided at the end of the rotating cylinder 22; during operation, the poured-out Chinese medicinal materials fall onto the guide hopper 2, then fall from the guide hopper 2 into the sleeve 21 and into the rotating cylinder 22. Subsequently, the second motor 24 is started to drive the second gear 25 to rotate, and the rotating second gear 25 drives the first gear 23 and the rotating cylinder 22. 2. The rotation causes the Chinese medicinal materials inside the rotating drum 22 to continuously roll. If the rotating drum 22 rotates at a high speed, some of the Chinese medicinal materials will not have time to fall and will rotate with the rotating drum 22 under the action of centrifugal force and friction. This causes the residual water on the Chinese medicinal materials to be discharged from multiple drainage channels 26 into the sleeve 21. Finally, this water is discharged from the bottom of the sleeve 21. After the excess water is drained, the closing mechanism is opened so that the Chinese medicinal materials can be discharged from the outlet below the inclined rotating drum 22. Through the above structure, the residual water on the cleaned Chinese medicinal materials can be removed, thereby reducing the increase in transportation weight caused by residual water and the pollution of the ground environment caused by water dripping when packing or transferring in boxes or baskets.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the closing mechanism includes a first retaining ring 3; the first retaining ring 3 is fixed to the end of the rotating cylinder 22; a second retaining ring 31 is rotatably connected to one end of the first retaining ring 3; a mounting groove 32 is provided in the middle of the first retaining ring 3 and the second retaining ring 31; a baffle 33 is detachably installed in the middle of the mounting groove 32; a connecting bolt 34 is threaded to the end of the mounting groove 32; a screw hole 35 is provided at the end of the first retaining ring 3; during operation, when it is necessary to close the bottom end of the rotating cylinder 22, the baffle 33 is inserted into the mounting groove 32 in the middle of the first retaining ring 3, and then the second retaining ring 31 is rotated so that the second retaining ring 31 and the first retaining ring 3 form a ring. To make it difficult for the baffle 33 to detach, the connecting bolt 34 is screwed into the screw hole 35 to complete the connection and fixation of the first retaining ring 3 and the second retaining ring 31. The sealing of the bottom of the rotating cylinder 22 by the baffle 33 prevents the Chinese medicinal materials inside the rotating cylinder 22 from easily detaching. After the Chinese medicinal materials are dehydrated, the baffle 33 is removed by reversing the above operation, thereby opening the bottom of the rotating cylinder 22 to discharge the Chinese medicinal materials. With the above structure, the bottom of the rotating cylinder 22 can be easily opened or closed, which is convenient to use and will not easily open when the rotating cylinder 22 is rotating, causing the Chinese medicinal materials inside the rotating cylinder 22 to fly out.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a through groove 4 is provided in the middle of the insertion rod 16; a support rod 41 is rotatably connected to the middle of the through groove 4 via a torsion spring; during operation, when the pull rope 17 is unwound, causing the insertion rod 16 to fall and the insertion rod 16 is not inserted into the slot 19, the support rod 41 will rotate out from the support rod 41 under the action of the torsion spring, and then the bottom end of the support rod 41 will abut against the top of the cleaning bracket 1, thereby fixing the height of the end of the insertion rod 16. When the cleaning basket 18 is slid toward the insertion rod 16, the insertion rod 16 at the specified height can be easily inserted into the slot 19. At this time, the support rod 41 will rotate into the through groove 4 after being squeezed by the cleaning basket 18. Through the above structure, the position of the end of the insertion rod 16 can be positioned so that the insertion rod 16 and the slot 19 can cooperate, reducing the occurrence of the end of the insertion rod 16 abutting against the cleaning basket 18.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a pair of guide plates 5 are fixed to the top of the cleaning bracket 1; the guide plates 5 are fixed to the end of the slot 19; during operation, when the cleaning basket 18 is moved toward the insertion rod 16, the end of the insertion rod 16 will be guided by the guide plates 5, so as to insert it into the slot 19 more accurately. Through the above structure, the occurrence of failure to enter the slot 19 due to the offset of the end of the insertion rod 16 can be further reduced.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple baffles 6 are fixedly connected inside the rotating cylinder 22; the multiple baffles 6 are evenly distributed inside the rotating cylinder 22; when the Chinese medicinal materials enter the rotating cylinder 22 and the rotating cylinder 22 rotates, the Chinese medicinal materials will be blocked by the rotating cylinder 22 and rise to a higher height before falling, thus generating a greater impact force when falling to the bottom to shake off the residual water on the body. Through the above structure, the water removal effect and water removal speed can be improved when the rotating cylinder 22 is used to remove the residual water on the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple rollers 7 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the cleaning basket 18; the multiple rollers 7 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the cleaning basket 18; through the above structure, some of the sliding friction between the cleaning basket 18 and the cleaning bracket 1 can be converted into rolling friction, thereby reducing the moving resistance of the cleaning basket 18, making the sliding of the cleaning basket 18 more effortless, and reducing the wear of the components.

[0031] During operation, when the Chinese medicinal herbs need to be cleaned, they are placed into the cleaning basket 18, which is partially submerged in the cleaning pool on the cleaning support 1, with the water covering the herbs. After cleaning, the cleaning basket 18 is slid towards the insertion rod 16, and the end of the insertion rod 16 is inserted into the slot 19. Then, the first motor 13 is started to drive the worm gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 15 and the winding roller 12 to rotate. The winding roller 12 winds up the pull rope 17, which pulls the end of the insertion rod 16, causing the insertion rod 16 and the cleaning basket 18 connected to it to rotate. This lifts one end of the cleaning basket 18 out of the cleaning pool, and the Chinese medicinal herbs in the cleaning basket 18 are then cleaned. When one end of the basket 18 is lifted and tilted, it leaves the water and slides out from the lower end of the washing basket 18. The poured-out Chinese medicinal materials fall onto the guide hopper 2, then fall from the guide hopper 2 into the sleeve 21 and into the rotating drum 22. Subsequently, the second motor 24 is started to drive the second gear 25 to rotate. The rotating second gear 25 drives the first gear 23 and the rotating drum 22 to rotate, causing the Chinese medicinal materials in the rotating drum 22 to continuously roll. If the rotating drum 22 rotates at a high speed, some Chinese medicinal materials will not have time to fall and will rotate with the rotating drum 22 under the action of centrifugal force and friction. This causes the residual water on the Chinese medicinal materials to be discharged from multiple drainage troughs 26 into the sleeve 21. Finally, this water is discharged from the bottom of the sleeve 21. After the excess water is drained, the valve is opened and closed. The combined mechanism allows the Chinese medicinal materials to be discharged from the outlet below the inclined rotating drum 22. When it is necessary to close the bottom of the rotating drum 22, the baffle 33 is inserted into the mounting groove 32 in the middle of the first retaining ring 3. Then, the second retaining ring 31 is rotated to form a ring with the first retaining ring 3, making it difficult for the baffle 33 to leave. Then, the connecting bolt 34 is screwed into the screw hole 35 to complete the connection and fixation of the first retaining ring 3 and the second retaining ring 31. The sealing of the bottom of the rotating drum 22 by the baffle 33 prevents the Chinese medicinal materials inside the rotating drum 22 from easily falling out. After the Chinese medicinal materials are dehydrated, the above operation is reversed to remove the baffle 33, thereby opening the bottom of the rotating drum 22 to discharge the Chinese medicinal materials. When the pull rope 17 is unwound, the insertion rod 16 falls and is not inserted. When the cleaning basket 18 is in slot 19, the support rod 41 will rotate and extend out under the action of the torsion spring. Then, the bottom end of the support rod 41 will abut against the top of the cleaning bracket 1, thereby fixing the height of the end of the insertion rod 16. When the cleaning basket 18 is slid toward the insertion rod 16, the insertion rod 16 at the specified height can be easily inserted into slot 19. At this time, the support rod 41 will rotate into the through groove 4 after being squeezed by the cleaning basket 18. When the cleaning basket 18 is moved toward the insertion rod 16, the end of the insertion rod 16 will be guided by the guide plate 5, thereby inserting it into slot 19 more accurately. When the Chinese herbal medicine enters the rotating cylinder 22 and the rotating cylinder 22 rotates, the Chinese herbal medicine will be blocked by the rotating cylinder 22 and rise to a higher height before falling.This creates a greater impact upon hitting the bottom, shaking off any remaining water.
