Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicinal material processing, and in particular to a cleaning device for Chinese medicinal material production that facilitates batch feeding. Background Technology
[0002] Cleaning is a crucial step in the processing and production of Chinese medicinal herbs. Its purpose is to remove mud, impurities, pesticide residues, and microorganisms from the surface of the herbs to ensure their cleanliness and prevent the loss of active ingredients. In existing technologies, drum cleaning devices and washing shaft cleaning devices are commonly used to clean Chinese medicinal herbs. Drum cleaning devices can perform continuous cleaning and are highly efficient during the cleaning process.
[0003] The drum cleaning device uses a set of rotating drums to move the Chinese medicinal materials. During the movement, the internal structure of the drums can be used to clean the Chinese medicinal materials. However, the drum cleaning device itself has a fixed stroke. If the hardness of the medicinal materials is low, they are easily damaged after a long period of cleaning. Although the cleaning shaft cleaning device can freely control the cleaning time, it can only clean in batches, which is inefficient. Therefore, a cleaning device for the production of Chinese medicinal materials that is easy to feed in batches is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a cleaning device for the production of Chinese medicinal materials that facilitates batch feeding, aiming to improve the problem in the prior art that "existing cleaning shaft cleaning devices can only clean according to batches, and the efficiency is low during cleaning".
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a cleaning device for the production of traditional Chinese medicinal materials that facilitates batch feeding, comprising:
[0006] A machine base is used to support the overall device. A cleaning shaft is installed on the inner wall of the machine base, a support plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the machine base, and a discharge port is provided on the left surface of the machine base.
[0007] A feeding component is disposed on the upper surface of the support plate and is used to control the feeding position. The feeding component includes a sliding plate, which is slidably connected to the upper surface of the support plate. The sliding plate is configured as a hollow rectangular plate.
[0008] A drive assembly, located on the left surface of the machine tool, is used to control the movement of the sliding plate. The drive assembly includes a threaded rod that passes through and is rotatably connected to the left surface of the machine tool. A transmission plate is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod, and the transmission plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The feeding assembly also includes a feeding hopper, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate, and a blocking block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate. The blocking block is triangular in shape.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] A baffle plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate, and the sliding plate is slidably connected to the lower surface of the baffle plate.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The drive assembly includes a sprocket, which is fixedly connected to the left surface of the threaded rod. There are two sets of threaded rods and sprockets, which are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the machine as the axis of symmetry. The two sets of sprockets are connected by chain drive.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] A protective sleeve is fixedly connected to the left surface of the machine tool, a throttle is fixedly connected to the left surface of the sprocket, and a locking component is provided on the left surface of the protective sleeve.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0022] The outer wall of the cleaning shaft is provided with bristles, which are arranged at an angle.
[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. In this utility model, by setting a movable feeding component, when the Chinese medicinal materials to be cleaned have high hardness, the sliding plate can be moved to the inner wall of the machine near the right side, thus extending the cleaning path of the Chinese medicinal materials and increasing the cleaning time. Conversely, the sliding plate can be moved to the inner wall of the machine near the left side, thus shortening the cleaning path of the Chinese medicinal materials and preventing damage to the materials during the cleaning process. This ensures continuous cleaning and allows for free adjustment of the cleaning path length according to the different characteristics of the medicinal materials. The overall device has good flexibility and high cleaning efficiency.
[0025] 2. In this utility model, two sets of sprockets are connected by a chain. When it is necessary to adjust the left and right position of the sliding plate, adjusting one set of sprockets can drive the two sets of threaded rods to rotate synchronously. This can improve the stability of the transmission and ensure the stable movement of the sliding plate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 One embodiment of this utility model provides a cleaning device for the production of traditional Chinese medicinal materials that facilitates batch feeding, comprising:
[0034] Machine 1 is used to support the overall device. Machine 1 consists of two parts: a cleaning tank and a main unit. The cleaning tank can be used to hold the Chinese medicinal materials to be cleaned, while the main unit can be used to install a motor. The inner wall of machine 1 is equipped with a cleaning shaft 7 for cleaning Chinese medicinal materials. The cleaning shaft 7 can be driven to rotate by the motor installed in the main unit. The motor used here is a servo motor, and its speed is adjustable. Since servo motors are existing technology and can be implemented by those skilled in the art, they will not be described in detail here. The inner wall of machine 1 is fixedly connected with a support plate 2 for supporting the feeding component 4. The left surface of machine 1 is provided with a discharge port 3 for discharging the cleaned Chinese medicinal materials.
[0035] Feeding component 4 is set on the upper surface of support plate 2 and is used to control the feeding position. Feeding component 4 includes sliding plate 41, which is slidably connected to the upper surface of support plate 2. The upper surface of support plate 2 is provided with a sliding frame that is adapted to sliding plate 41, so as to prevent support plate 2 from moving up or down at will. Sliding plate 41 is set as a hollow rectangular plate. Chinese medicinal materials can be put into the washing tank through the hollow position inside sliding plate 41.
[0036] The drive assembly 5 is located on the left surface of the machine base 1 and is used to control the movement of the sliding plate 41. The drive assembly 5 includes a threaded rod 52 for driving the transmission plate 51 to move. The threaded rod 52 passes through and is rotatably connected to the left surface of the machine base 1. The threaded rod 52 has no external threads at the contact part with the machine base 1, so the threaded rod 52 will not have relative displacement with the machine base 1 when it rotates. The outer wall of the threaded rod 52 is threadedly connected to the transmission plate 51. The transmission plate 51 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 41. When the threaded rod 52 rotates, it will drive the sliding plate 41 to move left and right through the transmission plate 51.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-3 The feeding assembly 4 also includes a feeding hopper 42, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 41. The feeding hopper 42 is designed as a hollow frustum. During batch cleaning, the Chinese medicinal materials to be cleaned can be put into the feeding hopper 42 at once, so that continuous automatic feeding can be achieved under the action of gravity. A blocking block 43 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate 41. The blocking block 43 can be used to block the Chinese medicinal materials, so as to prevent the Chinese medicinal materials from moving to the right after entering the cleaning tank. The blocking block 43 is designed as a triangle. The triangular design allows the blocking block 43 to better fit the outer wall of the cleaning shaft 7, so as to better block the Chinese medicinal materials. A shielding plate 44 for shielding the Chinese medicinal materials is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 2. The sliding plate 41 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the shielding plate 44. By setting the shielding plate 44, the movement path of the Chinese medicinal materials can be restricted, forcing the Chinese medicinal materials to keep in contact with the cleaning shaft 7 when moving inside the cleaning tank.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-3The drive assembly 5 includes a sprocket 53 for transmitting power. The sprocket 53 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the threaded rod 52. When the sprocket 53 rotates, the threaded rod 52 will also be driven to move synchronously. There are two sets of threaded rods 52 and sprockets 53. The two sets of threaded rods 52 and sprockets 53 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the machine base 1 as the axis of symmetry. The two sets of threaded rods 52 can pull the two sides of the transmission plate 51 respectively. The two sets of sprockets 53 are connected by chain drive. When one set of sprockets 53 rotates, it will drive the other set of sprockets 53 to rotate synchronously through the chain. A protective sleeve 54 for protecting the sprockets 53 and the chain is fixedly connected to the left surface of the machine base 1. A throttle 55 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the sprocket 53. By rotating the throttle 55, the sprocket 53 can be driven to rotate. A locking assembly 6 is provided on the left surface of the protective sleeve 54.
[0039] Reference Figures 2-4 The locking component 6 includes a support block 61 for supporting the entire locking component 6. The support block 61 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the protective sleeve 54. The front surface of the support block 61 is threaded with a locking bolt 62. By rotating the locking bolt 62, it can be moved left and right. The outer wall of the locking bolt 62 is fitted with a pressing block 63 for pressing the handle 55. The pressing block 63 is set in an arc shape and fits the outer wall of the handle 55. By rotating the locking bolt 62, the pressing block 63 can be moved to fit tightly against the outer wall of the handle 55, thus preventing the handle 55 from rotating randomly. The outer wall of the cleaning shaft 7 is provided with bristles, and the bristles are set at an angle. With this setting, when the cleaning shaft 7 rotates, the bristles on its outer wall can guide the Chinese medicinal materials to move to the left and finally be discharged from the discharge port 3.
[0040] Working principle: Before cleaning, the position of the feeding component 4 needs to be adjusted according to the hardness of the Chinese medicinal materials. The operator can rotate the handle 55 to drive the sprocket 53 to rotate, and the two sets of threaded rods 52 will rotate synchronously through the chain. When the threaded rods 52 rotate, they will drive the transmission plate 51 and the sliding plate 41 to move left and right on the support plate 2. After the sliding plate 41 is moved to the appropriate position, the locking bolt 62 can be tightened to make the pressing block 63 fit the handle 55 and lock the position.
[0041] During cleaning, Chinese medicinal materials can be poured into the feeding hopper 42. The materials fall into the cleaning tank of the machine 1 through the hollow part of the sliding plate 41. The servo motor is started to drive the cleaning shaft 7 to rotate. When the bristles on its outer wall rotate, they clean the impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials on the one hand, and guide the medicinal materials to move to the left on the other hand. At the same time, the blocking block 43 can prevent the medicinal materials from moving to the right, and the baffle plate 44 will restrict the movement path of the medicinal materials. In this way, the medicinal materials can be kept in close contact with the cleaning shaft 7 for thorough cleaning. The cleaned medicinal materials are discharged from the discharge port 3 under the push of the bristles, thereby realizing batch feeding and cleaning. The length of the cleaning path can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the medicinal materials to avoid damage to the medicinal materials and improve cleaning efficiency.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
