Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for the initial processing of Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning and processing of Chinese medicinal herbs refers to the preliminary treatment of harvested raw medicinal materials to remove impurities, mud, non-medicinal parts, and certain microorganisms. This process includes sorting, soaking, rinsing, brushing, and spraying. Appropriate methods must be selected based on the characteristics of the medicinal materials (e.g., roots, fruits, whole herbs). For example, hard root herbs often require soaking followed by brushing, while delicate flower herbs require quick and gentle rinsing. Strict control of water temperature, time, and water flow intensity is required during cleaning to prevent the loss of active ingredients. Modern processing also utilizes equipment such as bubble cleaners and ultrasonic cleaners to improve efficiency, ultimately ensuring that the medicinal materials meet quality control standards of cleanliness, absence of decay, and absence of insect infestation, laying the foundation for subsequent cutting, drying, or processing.

[0003] An existing technology disclosure number CN221335743U discloses an ultrasonic cleaning device for raw medicinal materials, which includes a machine base, a cleaning tank arranged above the machine base, and an ultrasonic unit installed inside the machine base, at least a portion of the ultrasonic unit being in contact with the cleaning tank.

[0004] This equipment can improve the efficiency of cleaning and unloading medicinal materials, but it still has certain limitations in practical applications: since the loading operation can only be carried out after all cleaning and unloading are completed, it not only increases the waiting time, but the loading process itself is also time-consuming, resulting in a decrease in overall cleaning efficiency. This problem is particularly prominent when cleaning large quantities of medicinal materials. Therefore, improvements are proposed. Utility Model Content

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] I. Material Feeding Stage

[0031] The Chinese medicinal herbs to be cleaned are conveyed to the unloading end by a telescopic belt conveyor 5 and fall into the medicinal herb basket (composed of basket frame 11 and basket bottom plate 2) on a rotating material rack. At this time, the basket bottom plate 2 is in a closed state to ensure that the herbs will not fall out.

[0032] II. Rotary Switching Station

[0033] The rotating component of the rotary material rack (driven by the first motor 18, the drive gear 17, and the driven gear 16) rotates the entire lifting assembly and the three support frames 8 by 120°, moving the basket filled with medicinal materials directly above the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4. Simultaneously, two other baskets are located at the unloading end (receiving position) of the telescopic belt conveyor 5 and the loading end (unloading position) of the belt conveyor 1, respectively, enabling continuous operation.

[0034] III. Lifting and Ultrasonic Cleaning

[0035] When the herb basket reaches the cleaning station, the lifting assembly (driven by the second motor 9, which in turn drives the screw 14 to move the movable seat 3 up and down) lowers the basket into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4, where the herbs are fully immersed in the cleaning solution. The ultrasonic generator then operates, using high-frequency vibrations to remove mud and impurities from the surface of the herbs, improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0036] IV. Unloading and Circulation Operations

[0037] After cleaning, the lifting assembly lifts the basket, and the rotating assembly rotates it another 120°, moving the cleaned basket above the belt conveyor 1. The basket bottom plate 2 opens (the electric push rod 7 moves the long rod 6, causing the basket bottom plate 2 to swing open and close around the rotating connection between the connecting seat 12 and the basket frame 11), and the herbs fall into the conveyor and enter the next processing stage. Simultaneously, the empty basket rotates back below the telescopic belt conveyor 5, ready to receive a new batch of herbs, thus achieving a cyclical operation.

[0038] It should be noted that, in actual use, an existing PLC controller can be added. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the belt conveyor 1, the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4, the telescopic belt conveyor 5, the electric push rod 7, the second motor 9, and the first motor 18 to facilitate overall control. The specific data analysis and processing involved to further realize the control function are methods that can be implemented by those skilled in the art based on common knowledge. These methods are not within the scope of this solution. The above description is only to illustrate the beneficial effects that can be achieved by this hardware structure improvement in conjunction with common knowledge.
