Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of processing technology of Chinese herbal medicine Polygonatum, and in particular relates to a device for processing and removing impurities from Chinese herbal medicine Polygonatum. Background Technology

[0002] Polygonatum rhizome, a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, is the root and rhizome of the Polygonatum plant. During its processing, impurities, including mud, need to be removed from the harvested Polygonatum rhizome. Currently, this is achieved through washing.

[0003] The specific cleaning method involves operators washing the rhizomes of Polygonatum in a water tank. While this method thoroughly cleans the rhizomes, it is relatively inefficient. Furthermore, automated cleaning equipment for the irregularly shaped plant rhizomes, such as drum cleaning devices, struggles to "turn over" the rhizomes during the cleaning process. Specifically, traditional drum cleaning devices find it difficult to turn over the rhizomes, especially the larger ones, during the tumbling process.

[0004] Therefore, in actual production, manual cleaning is the only option. This manual cleaning method allows for easy "turning over" and cleaning of the larger tubers of Polygonatum.

[0005] Meanwhile, during the actual cleaning and processing process in the workshop, due to the large amount of mud and dirt on the plant tubers, the amount of wastewater generated during cleaning is relatively large, and in order to achieve the cleaning effect, multiple cleaning processes are often required in the actual work process.

[0006] However, in actual work, if the cleaning wastewater cannot be recycled for cleaning, it will greatly increase the cost of sewage treatment and cleaning.

[0007] Therefore, adopting a cleaning equipment that can automatically clean, has high cleaning efficiency, and allows for the recycling of cleaning water is crucial for improving the cleaning efficiency and effectiveness in the production, processing, cleaning, and impurity removal of the traditional Chinese medicine Polygonatum odoratum. Utility Model Content

[0008] Based on the above background, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for processing and removing impurities from the traditional Chinese medicine Polygonatum sibiricum.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A device for processing and removing impurities from the traditional Chinese medicine Polygonatum sibiricum includes a turning and washing cage mechanism and a water tank located below the turning and washing cage mechanism.

[0011] The turning and washing cage mechanism includes a polygonal support frame spaced apart on both sides, and several metal baffle plate structures are detachably installed between the polygonal support frames.

[0012] The turning cage mechanism also includes a spraying structure set inside the turning cage mechanism. The spraying structure includes a long spray pipe with several downward spray nozzles installed at the bottom of the long spray pipe.

[0013] A water pump is installed at the outlet of the water tank, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to a long spray pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the polygonal support is a regular hexagon.

[0015] Preferably, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed on one side of the polygonal bracket, and a drive motor is installed on the rotating shaft;

[0016] A rotating shaft tube is fixedly installed on the other side of the polygonal support, and the rotating shaft tube passes through the polygonal support.

[0017] Bearings are fixedly installed at both ends of the shaft tube, and the long spray pipe passes through the shaft tube and is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the bearing.

[0018] Preferably, the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft tube are rotatably connected to bearing brackets, and a frame bracket is fixedly connected between the bottoms of the bearing brackets;

[0019] The frame support is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank.

[0020] Preferably, a motor base is fixedly installed on the frame support, and the drive motor is fixedly installed on the motor base.

[0021] Preferably, the metal mesh structure includes a metal mesh frame, which is fixedly installed between the side positions of the polygonal support.

[0022] A metal baffle plate is fixedly connected inside the metal mesh frame.

[0023] Preferably, a circulating water pipe is connected to the lower end of the water tank, the outlet of the circulating water pipe is connected to a water pump through an inlet pipe, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to the inlet of the long spray pipe through an outlet pipe.

[0024] Preferably, a cylindrical filter is installed at the inlet end of the circulating water pipe;

[0025] The cylindrical filter is located inside the water tank.

[0026] Preferably, the bottom of the water tank is connected to a sludge discharge pipe;

[0027] Valves are installed on the sludge discharge pipe.

[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. The Polygonatum rhizome is placed into a hexagonal mesh cage structure. During the turning process, the hexagonal structure allows the Polygonatum rhizome to roll to the lower layer. Due to the large rolling amplitude, the Polygonatum rhizome can be fully turned over. After turning over, the cleaning effect can be improved, which is reflected in the thorough cleaning of both sides of the Polygonatum rhizome.

[0030] This invention addresses the technical limitation of traditional cylindrical cage structures, where large-tubered Solomon's seal rhizomes are difficult to turn over and clean during the turning process.

[0031] 2. Bearings are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft tube. The long spray pipe passes through the rotating shaft tube and is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the bearings. This ensures that during the entire turning and washing cage mechanism's rotation, the long spray pipe remains stationary, facing downwards onto the metal baffle plate at the bottom. During the turning process, the Polygonatum rhizome is always positioned on the bottom metal baffle plate, thus continuously being sprayed and washed. This achieves thorough cleaning of both sides of the Polygonatum rhizome, removing mud and other impurities.

[0032] 3. Achieve the recycling of cleaning water. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a device for processing and removing impurities from the traditional Chinese medicine Polygonatum sibiricum includes a turning and washing cage mechanism 2 and a water tank 1 located below the turning and washing cage mechanism 2.

[0045] Specifically, the turning and washing cage mechanism 2 includes a polygonal support 211 (the polygonal support 211 is in the shape of a regular hexagon) spaced apart on both sides, and six metal baffle plate structures can be detachably installed between the polygonal supports 211.

[0046] A hexagonal wire mesh cage structure 21 is formed by six metal mesh panels on a polygonal support 211. The advantages of this wire mesh cage design are:

[0047] The rhizome of Polygonatum is placed in the hexagonal mesh cage structure 21. During the turning process, the hexagonal structure is used to make the Polygonatum roll to the lower layer. Due to the large rolling amplitude, the Polygonatum can be fully turned over. After turning over, the cleaning effect can be improved, which is reflected in the thorough cleaning of both sides of the Polygonatum.

[0048] In traditional cylindrical cage structures, it's difficult to turn over large-tubered Solomon's seal rhizomes during the turning process. This is because, to increase cleaning efficiency, each Solomon's seal rhizome needs to be thoroughly cleaned, but the cylindrical structure results in a high degree of accumulation. However, the hexagonal mesh cage structure 21, with its hexagonal design, allows the Solomon's seal rhizomes to spread out more evenly on the bottom metal mesh plate structure when turned over, achieving thorough cleaning.

[0049] Specifically, the metal mesh structure includes a rectangular metal mesh frame 212, which is fixedly installed between the sides of a polygonal support 211 (specifically, it is fixed by bolts for easy removal, allowing for convenient addition of the cleaned Polygonatum rhizome into the cage and subsequent removal after cleaning). A metal mesh plate 213 is fixedly connected inside the metal mesh frame 212. The metal mesh plate 213 is made of stainless steel with mesh openings. During the turning process, the Polygonatum rhizome rolls between different metal mesh plates 213. Utilizing the large area of ​​the metal mesh plate 213, the turning amplitude is large, ensuring the Polygonatum rhizome is fully turned over for easy cleaning.

[0050] A rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the aforementioned rear polygonal bracket 211, and a drive motor 22 is mounted on the rotating shaft (specifically, in the same manner as existing methods, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft via a flange connection, for example). The motor is fixed as follows: a motor base is fixedly mounted on the frame bracket, and the drive motor 22 is fixedly mounted on the motor base.

[0051] Meanwhile, a rotating shaft tube 24 is fixedly installed on the front polygonal bracket 211, and the rotating shaft tube 24 passes through the polygonal bracket 211 (that is, the two ends of the rotating shaft tube 24 protrude from the polygonal bracket 211).

[0052] Meanwhile, according to the existing rotating connection method, the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft tube 24 are respectively rotatably connected to the bearing brackets, and the bottom of the bearing brackets are fixedly connected to the frame bracket 23; the frame bracket 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 1.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on the structure of Example 1, in order to facilitate thorough cleaning of the Solomon's seal tubers after the Solomon's seal posture is adjusted by tumbling, the above-mentioned turning and washing cage mechanism 2 also includes a spray washing structure set inside the turning and washing cage mechanism 2. The spray washing structure includes a long spray pipe 3, and several downward spray nozzles 31 are installed at the bottom of the long spray pipe 3.

[0055] Specifically, bearings 311 are fixedly installed at both ends of the cavity of the rotating shaft tube 24, and the long spray pipe 3 passes through the rotating shaft tube 24 and is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the bearing 311 (the rotating shaft tube 24 passes through the polygonal support 211 and protrudes from the polygonal support 211 at both ends).

[0056] During the entire turning and washing cage mechanism 2, the long spray pipe 3 rotates relative to the metal baffle plate 213 at the bottom position while remaining stationary. During the turning process, the Solomon's seal rhizome is always positioned on the bottom metal baffle plate 213, thus continuously being sprayed and washed. This achieves thorough cleaning of both sides of the Solomon's seal rhizome, removing mud and other impurities.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the structure of embodiment 2, in order to realize the recycling of cleaning wastewater, a water pump 13 is installed at the outlet of the water tank 1, and the outlet of the water pump 13 is connected to the long spray pipe 3.

[0059] Specifically, a circulating water pipe 11 is connected to the lower end of the water tank 1. The outlet of the circulating water pipe 11 is connected to the water pump 13 through the inlet pipe. The outlet of the water pump 13 is connected to the inlet of the long spray pipe 3 through the outlet pipe.

[0060] During operation, the water pump 13 continuously pumps cleaning water into the long spray pipe 3, and sprays it from the nozzle 31 (the nozzle 31 is a conventional spray cleaning nozzle 31 disclosed in the prior art) connected to the bottom of the long spray pipe 3. The cleaning wastewater falls into the water tank 1.

[0061] The process allows for the initial cleaning of large quantities of Polygonatum rhizome tubers in batches, with each batch using recycled wastewater to remove dirt and grime. Once all the Polygonatum rhizome tubers have undergone initial cleaning, a second cleaning process is performed using fresh water.

[0062] This method saves water for cleaning, reduces wastewater generation, and lowers cleaning costs.

[0063] Meanwhile, the sludge generated during cleaning enters the water tank 1, and a cylindrical filter 12 (a conventional filtration device disclosed in the prior art, used to filter sludge) is installed at the inlet of the circulating water pipe according to the existing filtration method; the cylindrical filter is located inside the water tank 1.

[0064] According to the existing sewage discharge method, the bottom of the above-mentioned water tank 1 is connected to a sludge discharge pipe (not shown in the figure); a valve is installed on the sludge discharge pipe. During operation, when there is a lot of sludge in water tank 1, such as after washing multiple batches of Polygonatum tubers, the sewage is discharged. Specifically, the sewage and sludge are discharged simultaneously by opening the sludge discharge pipe.

[0065] In actual operation, the sludge discharge pipe is directly connected to the sewage pipeline system inside the workshop in the existing manner.

[0066] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
