[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction technology, and more specifically, to a cleaning device for a traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the cleaning of Chinese medicine decoction pots is mostly done manually. Some solutions use a mechanism to flip the pot to help achieve the flipping action. However, since there is a lot of residue left in the decoction of Chinese medicine, the main cleaning process still relies on manual labor, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has high labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for Chinese medicine decoction pots, so as to solve the problem that manual cleaning of Chinese medicine decoction pots in the prior art is time-consuming and laborious.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cleaning device for a traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot, comprising: a frame having a gripping position, a first slag-discharging position, a cleaning position, and a second slag-discharging position; a moving mechanism movably mounted on the frame; a gripping mechanism connected to the moving mechanism, the gripping mechanism being used to grip the decoction pot and, driven by the moving mechanism, sequentially switching between the gripping position, the first slag-discharging position, the cleaning position, and the second slag-discharging position; and a cleaning component located at the cleaning position and used to clean the decoction pot at the cleaning position.

[0005] Furthermore, the grabbing position, the first slag dumping position, the washing position, and the second slag dumping position are arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction, and the moving mechanism is movable along the arrangement direction of the grabbing position, the first slag dumping position, the washing position, and the second slag dumping position.

[0006] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes: a translation component, which is translatably connected to the frame and is movably disposed relative to the frame in a first transverse direction; and a lifting component, which is connected to the translation component and moves synchronously in the first direction under the drive of the translation component, wherein at least a portion of the lifting component is movably disposed relative to the translation component and is connected to the gripping mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the translation component and / or lifting component includes: a moving part, which is translatably or vertically mounted relative to the frame; and a driving part, which is drivenly connected to the moving part and drives the moving part to translate or lift.

[0008] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism includes: a mounting frame connected to a moving mechanism; multiple clamping components arranged in pairs on both sides of the mounting frame, the clamping components being movably arranged relative to the mounting frame, and forming a clamping area for clamping the frying pan between the clamping components; and a clamping drive unit connected to the clamping components and driving the pairs of clamping components to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes: a connecting frame, which is movably connected to the mounting frame; and a clamping part, which is connected to the connecting frame. The clamping part has a clamping groove on the side facing the clamping area for clamping the frying pan, and the shape of the clamping groove matches the outer peripheral side of the frying pan.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping part is rotatably disposed relative to the connecting frame, and the rotation axis of the clamping part relative to the connecting frame is parallel to the movement direction of the connecting frame relative to the mounting frame. The clamping assembly also includes a rotary drive member, which is drivenly connected to the clamping part and drives the clamping part to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism also includes multiple connecting arms, which are rotatably connected sequentially. One of the two connecting arms at the end is connected to the moving mechanism, and the other of the two connecting arms at the end is connected to the mounting frame. The mounting frame is connected to the moving mechanism through the connecting arms.

[0012] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a pre-wash component and a fine-wash component, which are rotatably configured and capable of extending into the frying pan to clean the inner wall of the frying pan.

[0013] Furthermore, the frame has opening and closing doors, with opening and closing doors installed at the first and second slag discharge positions.

[0014] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a gripping position, a first slag-discharging position, a cleaning position, and a second slag-discharging position are provided. In conjunction with the gripping mechanism and cleaning components, the gripping mechanism grips the decoction pot, allowing it to move between the various positions with the moving mechanism. The cleaning component at the cleaning position scrubs the decoction pot. When cleaning the decoction pot, it initially resides at the gripping position.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0025] To address the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual cleaning of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pots in existing technologies, this utility model provides a cleaning device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pots.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 The device shown is a cleaning device for a traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot, including a frame 10, a moving mechanism 20, a gripping mechanism 30, and a cleaning component 40. The frame 10 has a gripping position, a first slag discharge position 11, a cleaning position, and a second slag discharge position 12. The moving mechanism 20 is movably mounted on the frame 10. The gripping mechanism 30 is connected to the moving mechanism 20 and is used to grip the decoction pot. Driven by the moving mechanism 20, the gripping mechanism 30 sequentially switches between the gripping position, the first slag discharge position 11, the cleaning position, and the second slag discharge position 12. The cleaning component 40 is located at the cleaning position and is used to clean the decoction pot at the cleaning position.

[0027] This embodiment features a gripping position, a first slag-discharging position 11, a cleaning position, and a second slag-discharging position 12. Combined with a gripping mechanism 30 and a cleaning component 40, the gripping mechanism 30 grips the decoction pot, allowing the moving mechanism 20 to move the pot between the various positions. The cleaning component 40, located at the cleaning position, cleans the pot. When cleaning the pot, it initially resides at the gripping position. The moving mechanism 20 moves the gripping mechanism 30 to the gripping position, gripping the pot. The moving mechanism 20 then moves the pot to the first slag-discharging position 11, where the gripping mechanism 30 dissolves the slag. The moving mechanism 20 then moves the pot to the cleaning position, where the cleaning component 40 cleans the inside of the pot. After cleaning, the moving mechanism 20 moves the pot to the second slag-discharging position 12 to dissolve any remaining impurities, thus completing the cleaning process. The above setup allows the entire cleaning process of the frying pan to proceed automatically without manual intervention, thus reducing labor intensity and costs, and ensuring effective cleaning of the frying pan to meet the required cleaning results.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the gripping position, the first slag-discharging position 11, the washing position, and the second slag-discharging position 12 are arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction. The moving mechanism 20 is movable along the arrangement direction of the gripping position, the first slag-discharging position 11, the washing position, and the second slag-discharging position 12. In this way, the gripping mechanism 30 and the frying pot move in a horizontal linear manner as a whole, so that the frying pot only needs to move in one direction during the washing process, without having to move back and forth, which is beneficial to improving the washing efficiency. Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned unidirectional linear arrangement, a reciprocating arrangement can also be adopted. For example, the above-mentioned workstations are arranged in the order of gripping position, washing position, first slag-discharging position, and second slag-discharging position. In this way, when the moving mechanism 20 moves the frying pot from the gripping position to the first slag-discharging position, it will pass through the washing position. After slag discharge, it moves in the opposite direction to the washing position. After washing, it moves to the second slag-discharging position.

[0029] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the moving mechanism 20 includes a translation component 21 and a lifting component 22. The translation component 21 is translatably connected to the frame 10 and is movable relative to the frame 10 along a first transverse direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is related to the arrangement between workstations. More specifically, the first direction is roughly parallel to the arrangement direction between workstations, so that when the translation component 21 moves the frying pan, the frying pan can move between each workstation. Unlike the translation component 21, the lifting component 22 is connected to the translation component 21. The lifting component 22 can move synchronously along the first direction under the drive of the translation component 21. At least a portion of the lifting component 22 is movable relative to the translation component 21. This portion of the lifting component 22 is connected to the gripping mechanism 30, so that the lifting component 22 can also move the frying pan up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the frying pan to better meet the requirements of tilting, cleaning, and other actions. Through the cooperation between the translation component 21 and the lifting component 22, the frying pan can move in both the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby enabling the frying pan to move to various positions in the space.

[0030] In this embodiment, the translation component 21 and the lifting component 22 have roughly the same structure. Taking the translation component 21 as an example, the translation component 21 includes a moving part and a driving part. The moving part is connected to the frame 10 and can be translatably positioned relative to the frame 10. The driving part is drivenly connected to the moving part and can be a motor, cylinder, or other components. The driving part drives the moving part to perform translational movement. When the aforementioned moving part and driving part are used in the lifting component 22, its moving part can be connected to the moving part of the translation component 21, and the two adopt a liftable connection method, thereby enabling the moving part of the lifting component 22 to move up and down. Its driving part is still drivenly connected to the moving part, thereby driving the moving part to move up and down. Of course, the translation component 21 and the lifting component 22 can also adopt different structural forms, as long as their structures are compatible and can realize lateral movement and lifting movement.

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the gripping mechanism 30 includes a mounting frame 31, multiple clamping components 32, and a clamping drive component 33. The mounting frame 31 is connected to the lifting component 22 of the moving mechanism 20. The clamping components 32 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the mounting frame 31, and are movably arranged relative to the mounting frame 31. A clamping area for clamping the frying pan is formed between the clamping components 32. Because the clamping components 32 can move relative to the mounting frame 31, the size of the clamping area can be changed, thereby achieving the clamping and release of the frying pan. The clamping drive component 33 can be a motor or cylinder, etc., which is driven by the clamping components 32 and drives the paired clamping components 32 to move closer to or further away from each other, thereby reducing or increasing the clamping area and achieving the clamping and release of the frying pan. This embodiment provides two clamping components 32. The mounting frame 31 and the clamping components 32 roughly form a U-shaped structure. The inner side of the U-shaped structure is the clamping area, and the two opposite sides are the two clamping components 32, while the middle part is the mounting frame 31. Of course, the clamping components 32 can also be added as needed, and can be configured as a four-claw or eight-claw structure, etc.

[0032] The clamping assembly 32 of this embodiment includes a connecting frame 321 and a clamping part 322. The connecting frame 321 is movably connected to the mounting frame 31 and serves a similar function to the mounting frame 31, namely, connecting and forming a clamping area. The clamping part 322 is connected to the connecting frame 321 and serves to clamp the frying pan. On the side of the clamping part 322 facing the clamping area, i.e., the inner side of the clamping part 322, there is a clamping groove for clamping the frying pan. The shape of the clamping groove matches the outer peripheral side of the frying pan, so that when the clamping area is reduced, part of the outer side of the frying pan can extend into the clamping groove and abut against the clamping part 322. The clamping groove allows the clamping part 322 to clamp the frying pan more stably, ensuring a secure clamping effect. In this embodiment, the clamping part 322 adopts a plate-like structure with a certain thickness and a clamping groove is provided on its long side.

[0033] In this embodiment, the clamping part 322 can not only move synchronously with the mounting frame 31, but it can also be rotatably configured relative to the connecting frame 321. Furthermore, the rotation axis of the clamping part 322 relative to the connecting frame 321 is parallel to the movement direction of the connecting frame 321 relative to the mounting frame 31. That is, the clamping part 322 can also rotate around its own axis. This allows the orientation of the plane containing the clamping part 322 to be adjusted, thereby adjusting the orientation of the clamping groove and enabling the clamping part 322 to stably clamp the cooking pot in various directions. The clamping assembly 32 also includes a rotary drive 323, which can be a motor, cylinder, or other components. The rotary drive 323 is driven by the clamping part 322 and drives the clamping part 322 to rotate. This allows the clamping part 322 and the cooking pot to rotate via the rotary drive 323 after the clamping part 322 has clamped it, thereby adjusting the opening direction of the cooking pot and fulfilling the needs of emptying residue and cleaning.

[0034] Optionally, the mounting bracket 31 can be directly connected to the moving mechanism 20, or it can be indirectly connected by an intermediate component. For example, when using an indirect connection, the gripping mechanism 30 can also include multiple connecting arms, which are sequentially rotatably connected. One of the two connecting arms at the ends is connected to the moving mechanism 20, and the other of the two connecting arms at the ends is connected to the mounting bracket 31, thereby connecting the mounting bracket 31 to the moving mechanism 20 through the connecting arms. Since the connecting arms can rotate relative to each other, the connecting arms form a multi-segment structure, which allows for adjustment of the positions of the mounting bracket 31 and the clamping assembly 32, enabling a wider range of adjustment for the frying pan.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning assembly 40 includes a housing, a pre-wash component 41, and a fine-wash component 42. The housing has an opening at the top, and the pre-wash component 41 and fine-wash component 42 can be disposed inside the housing. The pre-wash component 41 and / or the fine-wash component 42 are rotatable and can extend into the decoction pot to clean its inner wall. Their rotation can be achieved by a motor or other component disposed outside the housing. The pre-wash component 41 serves to clean the decoction pot first. It can take the form of a rinsing nozzle or spray nozzle. During the cleaning of the decoction pot, water is sprayed onto it through the rinsing nozzle, thus initially rinsing away any remaining medicinal residue under the water flow. Then, the fine-wash component 42 performs the final cleaning. In this embodiment, the fine-wash component 42 includes a brush and a spray nozzle. The brush and spray nozzle are rotatable, allowing them to extend into the decoction pot and perform comprehensive cleaning of its inner wall during high-speed rotation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the frame 10 has a door for opening and closing. Doors are installed at the first slag discharge position 11 and the second slag discharge position 12 to cover the slag discharge openings at the discharge positions. A slag collection assembly can also be installed at the discharge positions to collect the dumped slag and water and transport it to subsequent processing equipment for further treatment.

[0037] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.

[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0039] 1. This solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual cleaning of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pots in existing technologies;

[0040] 2. The entire cleaning process of the frying pan can be carried out automatically without manual intervention, thus achieving automatic cleaning and reducing labor intensity and costs;
