Stirring rods 203 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating shaft 202. A drive motor 103 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank 1 and at the lower middle of the inclined guide plate 102. The lower end of the rotating shaft 202 passes through the inside of the limiting tube 201 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 103. The medicinal materials are placed inside the barrel-shaped barrier net 2 and a large amount of clean water is injected into the cleaning tank 1 to cover the medicinal materials. The drive motor 103 drives the rotating shaft 202 to rotate, which in turn drives the two stirring rods 203 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring rods 203 to stir and clean the medicinal materials.

[0020] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4A sludge collection tank 3 is connected to one side of the cleaning tank 1. A drain pipe 104 is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side of the cleaning tank 1. The drain pipe 104 is connected to the lower end of the inclined guide plate 102 inside the cleaning tank 1 in the inclined direction. A water inlet pipe 306 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the sludge collection tank 3. The water inlet pipe 306 and the drain pipe 104 are connected by a flange. The sludge washed inside the cleaning tank 1 passes through the barrel-shaped barrier net 2 and falls under gravity. Under water pressure, it enters the sludge collection tank 3 through the drain pipe 104 and the water inlet pipe 306. A tank cover 303 is installed at the upper end of the sludge tank 3. A filter screen 304 is installed between the tank cover 303 and the sludge collection tank 3. A suction pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the tank cover 303. A three-way valve 401 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the suction pipe 4. A delivery pump 403 is fixedly connected to one side of the three-way valve 401. A circular cover 5 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the circular opening 101 of the cleaning tank 1. The delivery pump 403 is connected to the middle of the upper surface of the circular cover 5 through a flexible delivery pipe 404. A drain pipe 301 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end of the sludge collection tank 3 for draining sewage. A control valve 302 is fixedly connected to the lower end of pipe 301. The sludge collection tank 3, filter screen 304, and tank cover 303 are fixedly connected by multiple bolts 305. The suction pipe 4 extends through the upper surface of the tank cover 303 and into the inside of the tank cover 303. A clean water pipe 402 is fixedly connected to the side of the three-way valve 401 away from the flexible conveying pipe 404. By switching the three-way valve 401, the suction pipe 4 is connected to the flexible conveying pipe 404. The conveying pump 403 draws water from the inside of the cleaning tank 1 through the suction pipe 4, causing the sewage inside the cleaning tank 1 to flow upward. After being filtered by the filter screen 304, the sludge is sent into the barrel-shaped barrier screen 2 through the soft conveying pipe 404 to rinse the medicinal materials. When there is a lot of sludge in the collection tank 3, or when the lower end of the filter screen 304 is blocked, the cleaning operation is stopped. The three-way valve 401 can be used to switch the clean water pipe 402 to the suction pipe 4, and clean water is pumped into the suction pipe 4 through the clean water pipe 402 to enter the collection tank 3 to backwash the filter screen 304. At the same time, the control valve 302 is opened to discharge the sludge in the collection tank 3 through the sewage pipe 301.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 The circular cover 5 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the washing tank 1 via a hinge 501. By rotating the circular cover 5, medicinal materials can be put into the barrel-shaped barrier net 2 through the circular opening 101.

[0022] Working Principle: In use, first, open the circular cover 5 by rotating the hinge 501, then place the medicinal herbs to be cleaned into the barrel-shaped barrier net 2 through the circular opening 101. After closing the circular cover 5, pour clean water into the cleaning tank 1 until the herbs are completely submerged. Start the drive motor 103 to rotate the rotating shaft 202, causing the stirring rod 203 to stir and clean the herbs. The mud on the surface of the herbs detaches under mechanical force and falls through the mesh of the barrel-shaped barrier net 2. During the cleaning process, the muddy water collects along the inclined guide plate 102 under gravity and enters the sludge collection tank 3 through the drain pipe 104 and the inlet pipe 306. Switch to water circulation mode through the three-way valve 401, start the delivery pump 403 to draw water from the sludge collection tank 3 through the suction pipe 4. After being filtered by the filter screen 304, the wastewater is pumped back into the barrel-shaped barrier net 2 through the soft delivery pipe 404 to form a circulating cleaning process. When sludge accumulates in the sludge collection tank 3, switch the three-way valve 401 to the sludge discharge mode, inject clean water through the clean water pipe 402 to backwash the filter screen 304, and at the same time open the control valve 302 to discharge the sludge from the sludge discharge pipe 301, so as to achieve self-cleaning of the device.
