[0003] It is easy to use and can recycle water resources to rinse and soak materials, effectively reducing water waste and improving resource utilization.
[0004] However, during the washing of Chinese herbal medicine slices, a large amount of debris and impurities are generated. Since the debris and impurities remain in the water, it is impossible to collect and clean them in a targeted manner, which makes subsequent cleaning inconvenient. This solution is not very efficient in handling the debris generated during the washing of Chinese herbal medicine slices. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a water-saving cleaning device for the production of Chinese herbal medicine slices. This device solves the problem that a large amount of residue and impurities are generated during the cleaning of Chinese herbal medicine slices, and these residues and impurities remain in the water, making it impossible to collect and clean them in a targeted manner, which causes inconvenience for subsequent cleaning.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water-saving cleaning device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, comprising a cleaning tank, a longitudinal groove formed on the inner side wall of the cleaning tank, a connecting plate provided at the top of the longitudinal groove, an A drive motor provided at the top of the connecting plate, an A threaded rod fixedly connected to the output end of the A drive motor through the connecting plate, a drive block adapted to the longitudinal groove being provided on the surface of the A threaded rod, a rectangular frame fixedly connected to the side of the drive block, the outer wall of the rectangular frame being fitted with the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and a filter screen being provided inside the rectangular frame;
[0007] The inner wall of the cleaning tank is also provided with a transverse limiting groove. A fixing plate is provided on one end face of the cleaning tank. A B drive motor is provided on the surface of the fixing plate. A B threaded screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the B drive motor. A moving block is provided on the surface of the B threaded screw. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the side of the moving block. The other end of the horizontal plate is slidably connected to the other inner wall of the cleaning tank. An embedding groove is provided at the bottom end of the horizontal plate. An elastic scraper is engaged inside the embedding groove.
[0008] In one specific embodiment, the rectangular frame moves vertically along a longitudinal slide by a drive block, and the filter screen covers the bottom and side areas of the rectangular frame.
[0009] In one specific embodiment, the horizontal plate moves horizontally through the cooperation of the moving block and the B-threaded screw, and the horizontal plate is slidably connected to the horizontal limiting groove.
[0010] In one specific embodiment, the bottom surface of the elastic scraper is lower than the bottom surface of the horizontal plate, and the scraping end of the elastic scraper is in elastic contact with the surface of the filter screen.
[0011] In one specific embodiment, a waste collection box is provided on the front of the cleaning pool, and the waste collection box is located below the end of the elastic scraper's moving path.
[0012] In a specific embodiment, the axes of the A threaded screw and the B threaded screw are spatially perpendicular, and the driving block and the moving block are respectively provided with threaded holes that match the threaded screws.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a water-saving cleaning device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the vertical lifting structure design of the rectangular frame and the filter screen, driven by the longitudinal sliding groove, the A threaded screw and the drive block, achieves efficient interception of impurities and water recycling during the cleaning process. After the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are cleaned, the A drive motor is activated to lift the rectangular frame carrying the filter screen from the bottom of the pool, actively separating the suspended debris from the water. This solves the pain point of "impurities remaining in the water and cannot be removed" in the background technology, allowing purified water to be quickly put into secondary cleaning and improving water resource utilization. Through the elastic structure design of the elastic scraper being engaged with the groove of the horizontal plate, combined with the lateral movement driven by the B threaded screw, the non-destructive automatic scraping of residual impurities on the surface of the filter screen is achieved. When the horizontal plate is driven by the B drive motor, the elastic scraper maintains a stable scraping force on the curved surface of the filter screen through its own flexible deformation, solving the technical defects of low efficiency and easy damage to the filter screen by manual cleaning. The impurity removal efficiency is improved. Through the positioning design of the waste collection box set at the end of the movement path of the elastic scraper, combined with the trajectory constraint of the horizontal plate by the lateral limiting groove, the directional parabolic drop of the scraped impurities is achieved. The flexible scraper automatically throws impurities into the waste collection box at the end of its stroke, eliminating the redundancy of traditional devices that require additional manual transfer of impurities.

[0021] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0022] Figures 1-4 In one embodiment of this utility model, a water-saving cleaning device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces includes a cleaning tank 1. The inner side wall of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a longitudinal groove 2. A connecting plate 3 is provided at the top of the longitudinal groove 2. An A drive motor 4 is provided at the top of the connecting plate 3. The output end of the A drive motor 4 passes through the connecting plate 3 and is fixedly connected to an A threaded rod 5. A drive block 6 adapted to the longitudinal groove 2 is provided on the surface of the A threaded rod 5. A rectangular frame 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the drive block 6. The outer wall of the rectangular frame 7 is fitted with the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. A filter screen 8 is provided inside the rectangular frame 7.
[0023] The specific problem addressed in this embodiment is the generation of a large amount of debris and impurities during the washing of Chinese herbal medicine pieces. These debris and impurities remain in the water, making targeted collection and cleaning difficult and causing inconvenience for subsequent cleaning. This invention utilizes a vertical lifting structure design of a rectangular frame 7 and a filter screen 8, driven by a longitudinal sliding groove 2, a threaded screw 5 (A), and a drive block 6. This achieves efficient interception of impurities and water recycling during the washing process. After the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are washed, the A drive motor 4 is activated, causing the rectangular frame 7 to lift the filter screen 8 from the bottom of the pool, actively separating the suspended debris from the water. This solves the pain point of "impurities remaining in the water and being unable to be removed" in the prior art, allowing purified water to be quickly used for secondary washing, improving water resource utilization. The elastic scraper 16 is engaged with the groove 15 on the horizontal plate 14. The flexible structural design, combined with the lateral movement driven by the B-threaded screw 12, enables the non-destructive and automated scraping of residual impurities on the surface of the filter screen 8. When the horizontal plate 14 is driven by the B-drive motor 11, the flexible scraper 16 maintains a stable scraping force on the curved surface of the filter screen 8 through its own flexible deformation, solving the technical defects of low efficiency and easy damage to the filter screen caused by manual cleaning. The impurity removal efficiency is improved by the positioning design of the waste collection box 17 at the end of the movement path of the flexible scraper 16, combined with the trajectory constraint of the horizontal plate 14 by the lateral limiting groove 9, to achieve the directional parabolic drop of the scraped impurities. The flexible scraper 16 automatically throws the impurities into the waste collection box 17 at the end of its stroke, eliminating the redundancy of the operation of manually transferring impurities required by traditional devices.
[0024] The inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 is also provided with a transverse limiting groove 9. A fixing plate 10 is provided on one end face of the cleaning tank 1. A B drive motor 11 is provided on the surface of the fixing plate 10. A B threaded screw 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the B drive motor 11. A moving block 13 is provided on the surface of the B threaded screw 12. A horizontal plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving block 13. The other end of the horizontal plate 14 is slidably connected to the other inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. An embedding groove 15 is provided at the bottom end of the horizontal plate 14. An elastic scraper 16 is engaged inside the embedding groove 15. In this specific embodiment, after the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are cleaned, the A drive motor 4 is started to drive the A threaded screw 5 to rotate, which drives the drive block 6 to lift the rectangular frame 7 along the longitudinal sliding groove 2. The filter screen 8 carries impurities to the top of the cleaning tank 1. Then the B drive motor 11 drives the B threaded screw 12 to rotate, which causes the moving block 13 to push the horizontal plate 14 to move laterally along the transverse limiting groove 9. The elastic scraper 16 in the embedding groove 15 automatically scrapes off the impurities on the surface of the filter screen 8. After the filter screen 8 is vertically raised and lowered to separate impurities, the elastic scraper 16 scrapes horizontally to achieve automatic cleaning.
[0025] In this specific embodiment, the rectangular frame 7 moves vertically along the longitudinal slide 2 via the drive block 6, and the filter screen 8 covers the bottom and side areas of the rectangular frame 7.
[0026] Driven by the screw 5, the drive block 6 moves vertically along the longitudinal slide groove 2. The rectangular frame 7 moves the filter screen 8 upward in sync. The filter screen 8 covering the bottom and side areas forms a three-sided interception structure, so that the filter screen 8 at the bottom and sides of the rectangular frame 7 can completely intercept floating impurities.
[0027] In this specific embodiment, the horizontal plate 14 moves horizontally through the cooperation of the moving block 13 and the B threaded screw 12, and the horizontal plate 14 is slidably connected to the horizontal limiting groove 9.
[0028] When the B-thread screw 12 rotates, the moving block 13 is displaced laterally by the thread thrust, and the end of the horizontal plate 14 slides horizontally along the horizontal limiting groove 9 to form a stable guide, so that the horizontal limiting groove 9 constrains the movement trajectory of the horizontal plate 14 and ensures the accuracy of the scraping path.
[0029] In this specific embodiment, the bottom surface of the elastic scraper 16 is lower than the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 14, and the scraping end of the elastic scraper 16 is in elastic contact with the surface of the filter screen 8.
[0030] When the elastic scraper 16 moves on the surface of the filter screen 8, it is continuously pressed because the bottom surface of the scraper is lower than the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 14. Its scraping end is subjected to the resistance of the screen surface and generates adaptive elastic deformation, so that the elastic scraper 16 can compensate for the unevenness of the screen surface through its own deformation and avoid scraping dead corners.
[0031] In this specific embodiment, a waste collection box 17 is provided on the front of the cleaning tank 1, and the waste collection box 17 is located below the end of the moving path of the elastic scraper 16.
[0032] When the scraped-off impurities move to the end of the path with the elastic scraper 16, they are thrown into the waste collection box 17 directly below due to inertia, so that the waste collection box 17 can receive and remove the impurities at a fixed point, thus preventing secondary pollution.
[0033] In this specific embodiment, the axes of threaded screw A 5 and threaded screw B 12 are spatially perpendicular, and the driving block 6 and the moving block 13 are respectively provided with threaded holes that match the threaded screws.
[0034] A threaded screw 5 vertically passes through the threaded hole of drive block 6 to drive lifting and lowering, while B threaded screw 12 horizontally passes through the threaded hole of moving block 13 to drive translation. The two axes interact spatially without interference, thus decoupling the spatial motion of the vertically distributed A threaded screw 5 and B threaded screw 12.
[0035] Working principle: After the Chinese herbal medicine pieces are cleaned in the cleaning tank 1, the A drive motor 4 drives the A threaded screw 5 to rotate, which drives the drive block 6 to vertically lift the rectangular frame 7 along the longitudinal slide groove 2, so that the filter screen 8 carries the impurities to the top of the cleaning tank 1 to complete solid-liquid separation; then the B drive motor 11 drives the B threaded screw 12 to rotate, which pushes the moving block 13 and the horizontal plate 14 to move horizontally along the transverse limiting groove 9. The elastic scraper 16 embedded in the groove 15 adapts to the curvature of the filter screen 8 to perform elastic scraping, pushing the impurities into the waste collection box 17 at the end of the path.
[0036] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
