[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please see Figure 1-8 As shown, a cleaning device for processing traditional Chinese medicine includes a base frame 1, a cleaning tank 5 and a cleaning roller 6. The cleaning tank 5 is fixedly installed on the base frame 1, and the cleaning roller 6 is rotatably connected inside the cleaning tank 5 and has bristles on its surface.

[0038] Motor 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the cleaning tank 5. There are four cleaning rollers 6, which are symmetrically designed in pairs. Motor 7 is controlled by a transmission belt.

[0039] The cleaning tank 5 is equipped with a filter plate 2, which is designed to be detachable.

[0040] A water pipe is installed on the surface of the cleaning tank 5 for spraying water into the cleaning tank 5;

[0041] Baffle 29 is rotatably connected to one side of the cleaning tank 5 via a hinge, and a fixing mechanism is provided on the surface of baffle 29.

[0042] The cleaning pool 5 is also equipped with a cleaning mechanism;

[0043] A drain outlet 13 is connected to one side of the cleaning tank 5, and the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 5 is designed to slope towards the drain outlet 13.

[0044] The surface of the cleaning tank 5 has an installation opening, the filter plate 2 is placed in the installation opening, the surface of the filter plate 2 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring 15, the surface of the cleaning tank 5 is slidably connected with a lever 3 by a spring, the lever 3 is "L" shaped, and the surface of the filter plate 2 has a slot 16 at a position relative to the lever 3.

[0045] During operation, start motor 8, which drives the cleaning roller 6 to rotate clockwise. Place the medicinal herbs to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 5 and simultaneously turn on the water pipe. The herbs are scrubbed by the bristles on the surface of the cleaning roller 6, which can remove stubborn mud. For herbs that cannot be soaked, rinsing with water significantly reduces soaking time, effectively preventing the loss of active ingredients and ensuring efficacy. The inclined bottom design of the cleaning tank 5 prevents mud residue and facilitates cleaning. If any herbs are damaged during cleaning, the fragments will flow towards the filter plate 2 under the water flow, where they are intercepted, preventing waste. After cleaning, pull the lever 3 away from the filter plate 2 to detach it. The filter plate 2 can then be pulled out for cleaning. The process is simple and easy, greatly improving cleaning efficiency.

[0046] The cleaning mechanism includes a second motor 8. A pair of rotating shafts 9 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 5. A comb plate 11 is provided on the rotating shaft 9. The pair of rotating shafts 9 are respectively arranged between two cleaning rollers 6 and driven by the second motor 8. The rotating shaft 9 is hollow. A fixed shaft 22 is fixedly connected inside the rotating shaft 9. A bottom block 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed shaft 22. A bottom plate 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 9. The comb plate 11 is rotatably connected to the surface of the bottom plate 19 by a hinge. A pull rope 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the comb plate 11. The other end of the pull rope 18 passes through the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9 and is slidably connected. A pull plate 26 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rope 18. The pull plate 26 is slidably connected to the bottom block 21 by a spring. A support shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pull plate 26. A limit plug 25 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the support shaft 23. The limit plug 25 is made of rubber. A limit hole is opened on the surface of the bottom block 21 relative to the position of the limit plug 25.

[0047] During operation, if there are any medicinal herbs with fibrous roots that may remain on the surface of the cleaning roller 6, it will not only affect the cleaning effect of the cleaning roller 6, but also make it difficult for the staff to clean it later. At this time, the motor 7 is started, so that the motor rotates counterclockwise at a speed much lower than that of the motor 8. At this time, the rotating shaft 9 drives the comb plate 11 to scrape the surface of the cleaning roller 6, removing the roots remaining in the bristles of the cleaning roller 6. When the comb plate 11 rotates to the position where it overlaps with the bristles, the resistance generated by the bristles will force the comb plate 11 to rotate around the hinge on the surface of the base plate 19. At this time, the comb plate 11 will pull the pull rope 18, which will pull the pull plate 26. The spring is compressed, causing the limiting plug 25 to engage in the limiting hole. Because the rotation speed of the comb plate 11 is much lower than that of the cleaning roller 6, after the comb plate 11 passes the cleaning roller 6, the spring will drive the pull plate 26 to slowly return to its original position. However, because the limiting plug 25 is set, the return time of the pull plate 26 will be extended. After the comb plate 11 passes the cleaning roller 6, it will return to its original position instantly after a brief delay of the limiting plug 25. The inertia generated by the return will knock off the Chinese medicine residue on the comb plate 11. Through the design of the comb plate 11, the Chinese medicine roots and residues remaining on the surface of the cleaning roller 6 can be cleaned, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning roller 6 on the Chinese medicine.

[0048] Each set of rotating shafts 9 has up to three comb plates 11 on its surface, which are equidistantly distributed. An elastic membrane 27 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base block 21. The elastic membrane 27 covers the surface of the base block 21, and the other end covers the surface of the comb plate 11 and is fixedly connected. During operation, the elastic membrane 27 can isolate the gap between the comb plate 11 and the base plate 19, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering and affecting the reset of the comb plate 11. At the same time, the design of at least two comb plates 11 can effectively improve the cleaning effect of the comb plate 11. The design of more than three comb plates 11 may result in the scraped roots and impurities falling onto another comb plate 11. The best case is three, which ensures the cleaning effect and avoids mutual conflict.

[0049] A slot 31 is provided on one side of the cleaning pool 5. A baffle 29 is rotatably connected in the slot 31 via a hinge. The fixing mechanism includes a threaded rod 28, which is threaded through the baffle 29. A pressure plate 33 is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded rod 28, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure plate 33.

[0050] During operation, the threaded rod 28 is turned, causing the thread to move the pressure plate 33 upward. This releases the limit on the baffle 29, allowing it to rotate. Once the baffle 29 rotates to an angle greater than 90 degrees, the medicinal materials can be poured out of the washing pool 5. This is simple and convenient. The baffle 29 can also be used as a guide plate, making it easier for staff to use containers to receive the materials. The design of the slot 31 reduces the gap between the baffle 29 and the washing pool 5, thus preventing medicinal materials from leaking out through the gap and causing waste.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] Please see Figure 9-10 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, the surface of the cleaning tank 5 is rotatably connected to a support rod 36 via a hinge. A nozzle is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 36. The nozzle and the support rod 36 are hollow. The nozzle is connected to the support rod 36. A water source is connected to the surface of the support rod 36. A retaining pin 37 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 36. The surface of the cleaning tank 5 is rotatably connected to an extrusion plate 35 via a spring. The extrusion plate 35 is approximately "bow" shaped. The support rod 36 is arc-shaped. The nozzle is an atomizing nozzle.

[0053] During operation, the arc-shaped nozzles increase the water spray area, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning roller 6 on the Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, the atomizing nozzles reduce damage to the Chinese medicinal materials while rinsing with water. When it is necessary to place the medicinal materials, simply pull the retaining shaft 37 to make it press the extrusion plate 35 away from the retaining shaft 37. Continue pulling to make the retaining shaft 37 disengage from the extrusion plate 35. During installation, due to the "bow" shape, the retaining shaft 37 can be directly clamped onto the surface of the extrusion plate 35. Through the cooperation between the extrusion plate 35 and the retaining shaft 37, the water pipe installation is efficient, convenient, and highly practical.
