Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece preparation and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning is a crucial step in the preparation of Chinese herbal medicine slices, and it is present in many processes throughout the overall production process. For example, after the Chinese herbal medicine slices are steamed or boiled, there may be residual mucus or excipient juice on their surface, which needs to be cleaned in time to facilitate their use in subsequent preparation processes.

[0003] Currently, after steaming and boiling, the Chinese medicinal herbs are placed directly into a washing tank. During this process, the herbs tend to pile up due to the viscous liquid, resulting in insufficient cleaning and hindering subsequent preparation, production, and use.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a device for preparing and cleaning traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for preparing Chinese herbal medicine slices, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a cleaning device for preparing Chinese herbal medicine pieces, including a cleaning tank and a spraying seat at its upper end;

[0008] A conveying cylinder is installed obliquely inside the washing tank, with its outlet end located at the top. A material hopper is provided above the inlet end of the conveying cylinder. A transmission seat is fixedly installed on the inner side of the washing tank. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the right side of the transmission seat, coaxial with the conveying cylinder. Spiral blades are provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft.

[0009] The lower end of the spraying base is provided with an inclined support with the same slope as the conveying cylinder, and a spraying head is installed on the surface of the inclined support;

[0010] A rotating disk is rotatably mounted on the right side of the transmission base, located between the inner side of the lower end support ring of the feed cylinder and the lower end cam of the rotating shaft, transmitting rotational power in the opposite direction. A brush is provided on the inner side of the feed cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, a sleeve is fixed on the right side of the transmission seat near the outer ring area, with an open structure at the upper end, and is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe at the lower end of the material hopper.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the conveying cylinder is fixed with a connecting rod, which is circumferentially and fixedly connected to the support ring.

[0013] Preferably, the notch between the feed cylinder and the support ring corresponds to the upper opening of the sleeve.

[0014] Preferably, a lever three extends out from the outer side of the convex disk.

[0015] Preferably, the outer side of the rotating disk has two paddles that are evenly distributed circumferentially and are arranged alternately with the three paddles.

[0016] Preferably, a first pawl extends from the inner side of the inner convex ring, which is evenly distributed circumferentially and is arranged alternately with a second pawl.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention uses a spiral blade to convey the herbal medicine slices upwards inside the cleaning tank. When the herbal medicine slices move to the upper area, they are rinsed with clean water by a spray head. This dual-zone linkage cleaning method not only ensures the cleaning quality of the herbal medicine slices but also allows for the recycling of the clean water after use, and eliminates the need for retrieval operations, thus reducing the difficulty of the work.

[0019] This invention utilizes the reverse speed-changing rotation of the feeding cylinder and the rotating shaft to drive the brush to agitate the transported Chinese herbal medicine slices in real time, thereby separating the adhered and stacked Chinese herbal medicine slices for thorough cleaning, which facilitates subsequent production and processing.

[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0038] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a cleaning device for preparing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a cleaning tank 11 and a spraying seat 12 at its upper end;

[0039] The conveying cylinder 21 is installed obliquely inside the washing tank 11, with the outlet end located at the upper right and the inlet at the lower left. A material hopper 22 is provided on the upper left side of the washing tank 11, corresponding to the inlet end of the conveying cylinder 21. A transmission seat 23 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the lower left end of the washing tank 11, which contains a rotary motor. A rotating shaft 24 is rotatably installed on the right side of the transmission seat 23 and driven by the rotary motor. The rotating shaft is located inside the conveying cylinder 21 and is coaxial with it. A spiral blade 241 is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 24.

[0040] The lower end of the spray washing base 12 has a protruding inclined support 121, with the same inclination angle and direction as the conveying cylinder 21. The surface of the inclined support 121 is equipped with a spray washing head 1211, with the spray end facing the spiral blade 241, which is used to spray clean water to rinse the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the final stage.

[0041] A rotating disk 232 is rotatably mounted on the right side of the transmission seat 23. A separate support ring 212 is provided at the lower end of the feeding cylinder 21. The two are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 2121 that is evenly distributed in the circumference. A cam 242 is fixed on the outer side of the lower end of the rotating shaft 24. The rotating disk 232 is located between the inner side of the support ring 212 and the outer side of the cam 242, transmitting rotational power in the opposite direction. A brush 211 is provided on the inner side of the feeding cylinder 21 for brushing and agitating the Chinese herbal medicine pieces, so that the Chinese herbal medicine pieces that are stuck together can be separated.

[0042] Furthermore, a sleeve 231 is fixed on the right side of the transmission seat 23 near the outer ring area, covering the outside of the support ring 212, and its upper opening is connected to the feeding pipe 221 at the lower end of the material hopper 22. The lower front and rear plates of the feeding pipe 221 are fixedly connected to the front and rear inner walls of the upper opening of the sleeve 231.

[0043] Furthermore, the notch between the feed cylinder 21 and the support ring 212 corresponds to the upper opening of the sleeve 231. When the support ring 212 and the sleeve rotate, the upper opening of the sleeve 231 is always connected to the notch, ensuring that the material can smoothly enter the interior of the sleeve 231 without affecting its rotational movement.

[0044] Furthermore, a third paddle 2421 extends from the outer side of the convex disc 242, and a second paddle 2321 extends from the outer side of the rotating disc 232. These are evenly distributed circumferentially and intersect with the third paddle 2421. A first paddle 21221 extends from the inner side of the inner convex ring 2122. These are also evenly distributed circumferentially and intersect with the second paddle 2321. The third paddle 2421, the second paddle 2321, and the first paddle 21221 are all distributed in a dispersed manner, maintaining a large distance between each other. Thus, during rotational motion, power is transmitted intermittently, thereby reducing the rotational speed of the sleeve 231. This achieves reverse speed change rotation between the sleeve 21 and the rotating shaft 24, ensuring stable transmission of Chinese herbal medicine slices while simultaneously dispersing them in real time.

[0045] It is understandable that this utility model can form a dual-zone cleaning in the cleaning pool 11, ensuring the cleaning quality of Chinese herbal medicine slices while also separating them during cleaning to prevent them from sticking together and thus ensuring the cleaning quality. Finally, it automatically sends them out, eliminating the need for retrieval and reducing the difficulty of the work.

[0046] A specific application of the operation process of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the Chinese herbal medicine slices are first put into the material hopper 22, guided by the feeding pipe 221, and then pass through the upper opening of the sleeve 231 and enter the interior of the feeding cylinder 21 through the gap between the feeding cylinder 21 and the support ring 212. Then, under the rotation of the rotating shaft 24, the spiral blades 241 drive the Chinese herbal medicine slices to be tilted upward and transported. During the cleaning operation, the rotation of the rotating shaft 24 causes the spiral blades 241 on the outside of the rotating shaft 24 to push the second paddle 2321 on the outside of the rotating disk 232, and then pushes the first paddle 21221. This causes the feeding cylinder 21 to rotate through the inner convex ring 2122 and the connecting rod 2121, so that the brush 211 pushes the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the opposite direction, so that the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the sticky parts are separated from each other, thereby more thoroughly cleaning the Chinese herbal medicine slices.
