Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medicinal material cleaning technology, specifically relating to a device for cleaning Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs refer to natural medicines and their processed products used for the prevention and treatment of diseases, as well as for rehabilitation and health maintenance. They are mainly derived from plants, animals, and minerals. Before processing, herbs need to undergo drying, slicing, and crushing. Prior to these processes, to ensure the hygiene of the herbs, they must be cleaned during processing. The purpose of cleaning is to remove surface impurities, contaminants, and microorganisms, ensuring the quality and safety of the herbs.

[0003] In existing technologies, herbs are usually soaked directly in water or rinsed manually. However, when herbs are piled up together, they may not be cleaned thoroughly. Manual cleaning methods also cannot guarantee the consistency of the cleaning process and are inefficient, resulting in poor overall cleaning results. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a Chinese herbal medicine cleaning device to solve the technical problem of low efficiency of manual rinsing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A Chinese herbal medicine cleaning device includes a cleaning tank and a holding box located inside the cleaning tank. The bottom plate and side plates of the holding box have a number of water passage holes evenly distributed. A swing mechanism and an air bubble mechanism are provided below the holding box. The swing mechanism includes multiple guide rails located directly below the holding box. A support column is provided between the guide rails and the bottom plate of the cleaning tank. A slider is slidably connected to the top of the guide rails. The top surface of the slider is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the holding box. A motor is provided below the holding box. The output shaft of the motor passes through the bottom plate of the holding box vertically and protrudes. The output shaft is located outside the holding box. The end face of the output shaft is directly opposite to the end face of the middle single guide rail. A fixing block is provided on the end face of the middle single slider facing the output shaft. A positioning shaft is provided on the upper surface of the fixing block. The positioning shaft and the output shaft are hinged through a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod.

[0007] Furthermore, a gap is left between the fixing plate and the holding box;

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning shaft is located at the center of the upper surface of the fixing block, the positioning shaft extends vertically, and there is a gap between the top surface of the positioning shaft and the container.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the first and second connecting rods are provided with connecting holes, and the distance between the connecting holes at both ends of the first connecting rod is greater than the distance between the positioning shaft and the output shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the first connecting rod is sleeved around the positioning shaft, and the first connecting rod and the positioning shaft are rotatably connected; one end of the second connecting rod is sleeved on the top of the output shaft, and the two are fixed by a key connection; the connecting hole at the end of the second connecting rod away from the output shaft is coaxial with the connecting hole at the end of the first connecting rod away from the positioning shaft and a connecting shaft passes through it, and the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are movably connected by the connecting shaft;

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting ring is fitted on the top of the positioning shaft to limit the first connecting rod and prevent the first connecting rod from separating from the positioning shaft;

[0012] Furthermore, the bubble mechanism includes an air guide pipe located below the holding box. The air guide pipe is continuously bent and there is a gap between the air guide pipe and the bottom plate of the cleaning box. A support rod is provided below the air guide pipe to support it. An air nozzle is connected to the upper part of the air guide pipe, and the air inside the air guide pipe is discharged through the air nozzle. An air pump is provided on one side of the cleaning box and is connected to the air guide pipe.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] (1) Compared with the prior art, by setting up a swing mechanism, on the one hand, the swing of the container causes the originally statically piled medicinal materials to move and disperse, allowing the cleaning water to enter the interior, and the swing of the container gives the cleaning water a certain kinetic energy, which can wash the medicinal materials, thereby improving the cleaning effect; on the other hand, compared with manual cleaning, the swing mechanism can operate continuously, which is more efficient and can also improve the labor intensity.

[0015] (2) By setting up a bubble mechanism, the air pump pressurizes the air, and the pressurized gas is released through the air nozzle, generating a large number of dense and small bubbles in the water. These bubbles roll and break during the floating process, generating violent disturbance and friction, thereby effectively removing mud, impurities, pesticide residues, etc. from the surface of the medicinal materials, which can further improve the cleaning effect of the medicinal materials.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Example 1, specifically as follows: Figures 1-7 As shown.

[0027] A Chinese herbal medicine cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 1 and a holding box 2 located inside the cleaning tank 1. A swing mechanism 3 and a bubble mechanism 4 are provided below the holding box 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the washing tank 1 is generally rectangular in shape with an open top for holding the washing water. The holding tank 2 is smaller than the washing tank 1, and is positioned entirely in the center of the interior space of the washing tank 1, meaning there is a gap between them, and they are not in contact. The holding tank 2 is also rectangular in shape with an open top for holding the medicinal materials to be washed. Several water passage holes 201 are evenly distributed on the bottom and side plates of the holding tank 2, through which the washing water enters the holding tank 2 and submerges the medicinal materials.

[0029] The swing mechanism 3 is located between the bottom plate of the holding tank 2 and the bottom plate of the cleaning tank 1. The swing mechanism 3 includes multiple guide rails 301 located directly below the holding tank 2. The length of the guide rails 301 is less than the length of the holding tank 2 and extends along the length direction of the holding tank 2. The guide rails 301 are evenly spaced along the width direction of the holding tank 2. In this embodiment, a total of 3 guide rails 301 are provided. Support columns 302 are provided between the guide rails 301 and the bottom plate of the cleaning tank 1. The support columns 302 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the guide rails 301 and support and fix the guide rails 301 through the support columns 302. In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the support columns 302 are welded and fixed to the lower surface of the guide rails 301 and the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1, respectively.

[0030] A slider 303 is slidably connected to the top of the guide rail 301. The top surface of the slider 303 contacts the bottom surface of the container 2, and the two are welded together. The container 2 is supported by the support column 302, the guide rail 301, and the slider 303. In addition, the container 2 can slide along the guide rail 301. In this embodiment, the length of the slider 303 is one-fifth of the length of the guide rail, thereby increasing the contact area between the slider 303 and the container 2 and ensuring the stability of the connection between them.

[0031] A motor 305 is located below the container 2. The motor 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the container 2 with screws. The output shaft 306 of the motor 305 passes vertically through the bottom plate of the container 2 and protrudes from it. The output shaft 306 is dynamically sealed to the bottom plate of the container 2. The output shaft 306 is located on the outside of the container 2 and is directly opposite the end face of the intermediate single guide rail 301.

[0032] A fixing block 304 is provided on the end face of the middle single slider 303 facing the output shaft 306, and a gap is left between the fixing plate 304 and the holding box 2. A positioning shaft 307 is fixedly connected at the center position of the upper surface of the fixing block 304. The positioning shaft 307 extends in the vertical direction and a gap is left between the top surface of the positioning shaft 307 and the holding box 2.

[0033] The positioning shaft 307 and the output shaft 306 are hinged together by a first connecting rod 308 and a second connecting rod 310. Both ends of the first connecting rod 308 and the second connecting rod 310 have connecting holes. It is worth emphasizing that the distance between the connecting holes at both ends of the first connecting rod 308 is greater than the distance between the positioning shaft 307 and the output shaft 306. One end of the first connecting rod 308 is sleeved around the positioning shaft 307, and the first connecting rod 308 and the positioning shaft 307 are rotatably connected. A limiting ring 309 is sleeved on the top of the positioning shaft 307 to limit the first connecting rod 308 and prevent it from disengaging from the positioning shaft 307.

[0034] One end of the second connecting rod 310 is sleeved on the top end of the output shaft 306, and the two are fixed by a key connection. The connecting hole at the end of the second connecting rod 310 away from the output shaft 306 is coaxial with the connecting hole at the end of the first connecting rod 308 away from the positioning shaft 307, and a connecting shaft 311 passes through it. The first connecting rod 308 and the second connecting rod 310 are movably connected through the connecting shaft 311.

[0035] In use, first, place the herbs to be cleaned into the holding box 2. Then, inject an appropriate amount of cleaning water into the cleaning box 1 to ensure that the cleaning water can completely submerge the herbs. Finally, start the motor 305, the output shaft 306 rotates and drives the second connecting rod 310 to rotate synchronously. The second connecting rod 310 drives the end of the first connecting rod 308 away from the positioning shaft 307 to rotate around the output shaft 306, so that the first connecting rod 308 pulls the slider 303 and the holding box 2 above it to make reciprocating linear motion along the guide rail 301.

[0036] By setting up the swing mechanism 3, the holding box 2 is driven to swing. On the one hand, the swing of the holding box 2 causes the originally statically piled-up medicinal materials to move and disperse, allowing the cleaning water to enter the interior. Furthermore, the swing of the holding box 2 gives the cleaning water a certain kinetic energy, which can rinse the medicinal materials, thereby improving the cleaning effect. On the other hand, compared with manual cleaning, the swing mechanism can operate continuously, which is more efficient and can also reduce labor intensity.

[0037] The bubble mechanism 4 includes an air guide pipe 401 located below the holding tank 2. The air guide pipe 401 is continuously bent, and a gap is left between the air guide pipe 401 and the bottom plate of the cleaning tank 1 to prevent sediment and other impurities from covering the air guide pipe 401. A support rod 402 is provided below the air guide pipe 401 to support it. An air nozzle 404 is connected to the upper part of the air guide pipe 401, and the air inside the air guide pipe 401 is discharged through the air nozzle 404.

[0038] An air pump 403 is installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1, and the air pump 403 is connected to the air guide pipe 401. In use, the air pump 403 pressurizes the air, and the pressurized gas is released through the air nozzle 404, generating a large number of dense and fine bubbles in the water. These bubbles tumble and burst as they rise, generating intense disturbance and friction, thereby effectively removing mud, impurities, pesticide residues, etc. from the surface of the medicinal materials, and further improving the cleaning effect of the medicinal materials.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
