[0028] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, after the Chinese medicinal materials have drained in the mesh cage 6 at the top of the washing tank 4, the servo motor 27 can be controlled to drive the one-way screw 28 to rotate. When the one-way screw 28 rotates, the movable seat 9 can be moved to the left by the threaded sleeve 29. After the mesh cage 6 is moved to the top of the bracket 2, the hydraulic cylinder 11 can be controlled to lower the mesh cage 6 to the top of the bracket 2. After that, the cleaned medicinal materials inside the mesh cage 6 can be exported and unwashed medicinal materials can be put back in for the next batch of cleaning. The process of cleaning Chinese medicinal materials is automated, saving manpower.

[0029] A treatment tank 16 is provided on the right side of the cleaning tank 4.

The top filter screen 19 can be used to filter out some large particles and impurities inside the cleaning water. At the same time, the water pump 17 can be controlled to re-inject the filtered cleaning water into the cleaning tank 4 for circulation cleaning.

[0031] Support legs 1 are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the cleaning tank 4. An air pump 21 is fixed on the left side of the bottom of the cleaning tank 4, and an air supply pipe 3 is installed at the output end of the air pump 21. An air distribution pipe 5 is fixed horizontally at the bottom of the inside of the cleaning tank 4, and several aeration pipes 20 are fixed at equal intervals at the bottom of the air distribution pipe 5. The top end of the air supply pipe 3 passes through the inside of the left side of the cleaning tank 4 and is fixedly connected to the left side of the air distribution pipe 5.

[0032] Working principle: When using this utility model, Chinese medicinal materials are introduced in batches into the inside of the mesh cage 6, and the materials are cleaned by placing the mesh cage 6 inside the cleaning box 4.

After the medicinal materials inside the mesh cage 6 are cleaned inside the cleaning tank 4, the mounting base 8 can be pushed down by controlling the two sets of hydraulic cylinders 11. This moves the two sets of locking feet 7 at the bottom of the mounting base 8 to the top of both ends of the mesh cage 6. Then, the bidirectional screw 26 can be driven to rotate by controlling the servo motor 25. As the bidirectional screw 26 rotates, the two sets of locking feet 7 can be driven to move inward by the threaded sleeve 22 and lock at the top of both ends of the mesh cage 6. After that, the hydraulic cylinder 11 drives the mounting base 8 and the mesh cage 6 to move upward, so that the cleaned medicinal materials can be automatically removed from the inside of the cleaning tank 4. After the mesh cage 6 is moved to the top of the cleaning tank 4, it can be left to drain the medicinal materials inside the mesh cage 6. The dripping cleaning water can be directly guided back into the inside of the cleaning tank 4. After the Chinese medicinal herbs have drained in the mesh cage 6 at the top of the washing tank 4, the servo motor 27 can be started to drive the one-way screw 28 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the one-way screw 28, via the threaded sleeve 29, drives the movable seat 9 to move to the left, moving the mesh cage 6 to the top of the bracket 2. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 11 can be started to lower the mesh cage 6 to the top of the bracket 2. Afterward, the cleaned herbs inside the mesh cage 6 can be exported, and unwashed herbs can be placed back in for the next batch of cleaning. This process of loading and unloading of Chinese medicinal herbs is automated. Furthermore, when the equipment is in use, opening valve 15 allows the cleaning water inside the washing tank 4 to be discharged through drain pipe 14 into the processing tank 16. The top filter screen 19 can assist in filtering out some large particles and impurities in the cleaning water. Simultaneously, the water pump 17 can be controlled to re-introduce the filtered cleaning water into the washing tank 4 for recycling.
