Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Artemisia argyi cleaning technology, and specifically relates to a cleaning device for Artemisia argyi pharmaceutical preparation. Background Technology

[0002] The cleaning device for pharmaceutical processing of Artemisia argyi is used for the preliminary treatment of Artemisia argyi and other Chinese medicinal materials after harvesting. It typically consists of a feeding system, a cleaning chamber, a spraying system, a bubble generating system, a chain conveyor system, a sewage discharge system, and an automatic control system. Through spraying and bubble tumbling, it removes mud, impurities, and some microorganisms adhering to the surface of the medicinal materials to meet the standards of medicinal purification. This ensures the safety and quality of subsequent pharmaceutical processes, guarantees the purity and quality stability of Artemisia argyi, and lays a solid foundation for subsequent pharmaceutical processes such as drying, pulverizing, extraction, and formulation. It has significant production application value.

[0003] Existing cleaning devices for medicinal use of Artemisia argyi involve slowly and evenly feeding fresh or dried Artemisia argyi into a cleaning tank. Soaking softens the dirt, followed by bubbling and tumbling to remove impurities from the leaf folds. A high-pressure spray system then washes and rinses the plant, using density differences to separate mud and light debris. However, the fixed orientation of the jet bubbling mechanism at the bottom of the cleaning tank, with the fixed nozzle continuously spraying air from the same direction, causes water turbulence to concentrate in localized areas. Weak airflow at the edges or corners of the cleaning tank makes it difficult to disturb the accumulated Artemisia argyi, creating "cleaning blind spots." This results in a constant bubble distribution area, making it difficult to effectively disperse clumps of Artemisia argyi floating on the surface, leading to uneven cleaning and difficulty in removing internal impurities. To enhance the tumbling effect, it is often necessary to increase the airflow or extend the cleaning time, increasing energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a cleaning device for medicinal use of Artemisia argyi. The jet bubbling mechanism can rotate back and forth to change the jet bubbling angle, which can agitate and disperse the clumps of Artemisia argyi floating inside the cleaning box. It can dynamically change the airflow direction to form a multi-angle rolling water flow, continuously disturbing the clumps of Artemisia argyi leaves, fully agitating and dispersing them, improving the efficiency of impurity removal, achieving all-round, no-dead-angle cleaning, and significantly improving the uniformity and cleanliness of cleaning.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a cleaning device for the preparation of Artemisia argyi, including a cleaning box, a chain conveyor installed inside the cleaning box, multiple push plates installed on the mesh chain of the chain conveyor, multiple hollow cylinders rotatably installed at the bottom of the cleaning box via rotating columns, and air nozzles installed in the air jet holes opened on the upper side of the outer arc surface of the multiple hollow cylinders, and an air jet angle adjustment mechanism installed on the left side of the cleaning box, which can drive the air jets to rotate in opposite directions. The air jet angle adjustment mechanism includes a protective box installed on the left side of the cleaning box, a rack plate slidably installed in a dovetail groove opened between the protective box and the interior of the cleaning box, gears installed on the left side of the two rotating columns, and the two gears mesh with a rack plate, and a drive unit for driving the rack plate to move is installed on the left side of the cleaning box, the drive unit including an electric push rod installed on the left side of the cleaning box, the telescopic end of the electric push rod being connected to the upper end of the rack plate.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, air inlet pipes are provided on the outer arc surface of the hollow cylinder, and the air inlet pipes on both sides extend out of the outside of the cleaning box. The air inlet pipe located inside the cleaning box is made of telescopic flexible hose.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feed plate is provided on the left side of the cleaning box. The cleaning box and the feed plate are fixed together by welding, and the feed plate is in an inclined state.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a water spray frame is provided at the upper end of the cleaning box, and a water spray nozzle is provided in the water spray hole opened on the lower side of the water spray frame. Multiple water spray nozzles are distributed at equal intervals, and a water inlet pipe is provided in the water inlet hole opened on the upper side of the water spray frame.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a soft brush roller is rotatably mounted on the right side of the cleaning box via a rotating column. The soft brush roller contacts the mesh chain of the chain conveyor. A motor is mounted on the rear side of the cleaning box, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rear end of the rotating column via a coupling.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a drain pipe is provided on the lower side of the cleaning tank, the drain pipe is connected to the inside of the cleaning tank, and a solenoid valve is connected in series in the middle of the drain pipe.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] Firstly, the inclined feeding plate enables the mugwort to automatically slide into the cleaning tank. Combined with the air supply pump driving the hollow cylinder and the air jet nozzle to spray air, the water churns and causes the mugwort to suspend and tumble. A check valve is used to prevent water backflow and damage to the air circuit when the machine stops. Then, the water supply pump delivers clean water to the spray frame to rinse the tumbling mugwort leaves from multiple angles, effectively removing mud and impurities. Finally, the push plate on the chain conveyor smoothly carries the washed mugwort leaves out and falls into the collection device, realizing the automated and efficient cleaning operation of mugwort.

[0013] Secondly, by utilizing the fact that heavy impurities such as mud, sand, and pebbles have a density greater than water, they naturally settle to the bottom of the cleaning tank under gravity during the cleaning process. Simultaneously, a drain pipe equipped with a solenoid valve is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, which can automatically or periodically open according to the cleaning cycle or water quality conditions to collect and discharge the deposited mud and wastewater. Thirdly, by controlling the operation of the electric push rod, the telescopic end drives the rack plate to move up and down reciprocally under the restriction of the dovetail slide, and drives the rotating column on the gear that meshes with it to rotate. Thanks to the material of the air intake pipe telescopic hose, it also drives the jet pipe on the hollow cylinder to rotate back and forth (the rotation degree does not exceed 60 degrees back and forth). It can also thoroughly and comprehensively tumble and clean the mugwort inside the cleaning box with the water sprayed from the water nozzle. The jet bubble mechanism can rotate back and forth, changing the jet bubble angle, which can tumble and disperse the clumps of mugwort floating inside the cleaning box. It can dynamically change the airflow direction to form a multi-angle rolling water flow, continuously disturbing the clumps of mugwort leaves, thoroughly tumbling and dispersing them, improving the efficiency of impurity removal, achieving all-round, no dead angle cleaning, and significantly improving the cleaning uniformity and cleanliness.

[0014] Fourth, by controlling the motor to start, the soft brush rollers on the output shaft and the rotating column connected to it are rotated in the opposite direction to the running direction of the chain conveyor, which significantly enhances the brushing force and can more thoroughly sweep off the mugwort fragments or debris that are attached to or stuck in the gaps of the mesh chain and remain on the surface. The brushed-off mugwort leaves then fall into the collection device set below, realizing the effective recycling of Qi Ai resources and avoiding the waste of raw materials caused by mugwort leaves being carried into the equipment or falling into the sewage due to the circulation of the mesh chain.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a cleaning device for medicinal use of Artemisia argyi includes a cleaning box 101. A feed plate 105 is located on the left side of the cleaning box 101, and the feed plate 105 is inclined. A chain conveyor 102 is installed inside the cleaning box 101. Multiple push plates are installed on the mesh chain of the chain conveyor 102. Multiple hollow cylinders 202 are rotatably mounted at the bottom of the cleaning box 101 via a rotating column. Air nozzles 203 are installed in the air jet holes opened on the upper side of the outer arc surface of each hollow cylinder 202. A cleaning device is located on the left side of the cleaning box 101. The jet angle adjustment mechanism can drive the jet nozzles 203 to rotate in opposite directions. The upper end of the cleaning box 101 is provided with a water spray frame 103. Each of the water spray holes opened on the lower side of the water spray frame 103 is provided with a water spray nozzle 106. The water inlet hole opened on the upper side of the water spray frame 103 is provided with a water inlet pipe 104. Each of the outer arc surfaces of the hollow cylinder 202 is provided with an air inlet pipe 201. The air inlet pipes 201 on both sides extend out of the outside of the cleaning box 101, and the air inlet pipe 201 located inside the cleaning box 101 is made of a telescopic flexible hose.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, a drain pipe 107 is provided on the lower side of the cleaning tank 101. The drain pipe 107 is connected to the interior of the cleaning tank 101, and a solenoid valve 108 is connected in series in the middle of the drain pipe 107.

[0021] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figure 4, the jet angle adjustment mechanism includes a protective box 204 located on the left side of the cleaning box 101. A rack plate 205 is slidably disposed in a dovetail groove between the protective box 204 and the interior of the cleaning box 101. Gears 206 are provided on the left side of both rotating columns. The two gears 206 are meshed with the rack plate 205. A drive unit for driving the rack plate 205 is provided on the left side of the cleaning box 101. The drive unit includes an electric push rod 207 located on the left side of the cleaning box 101. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 207 is connected to the upper end of the rack plate 205. Air inlet pipes 201 are provided on the outer arc surface of the hollow cylinder 202. The air inlet pipes 201 on both sides extend out of the outside of the cleaning box 101. The air inlet pipes 201 located inside the cleaning box 101 are made of telescopic flexible hose. The drive unit includes an electric push rod 207 located on the left side of the cleaning box 101. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 207 is connected to the upper end of the rack plate 205.

[0022] The mugwort to be cleaned is placed on the feed plate 105, which slides down the inclined feed plate 105 into the cleaning tank 101. Then, the air supply pump is activated, allowing air to enter the hollow cylinder 202 from the air inlet pipe 201 and be sprayed out from the nozzle 203 into the cleaning tank 101 (the nozzle 203 is equipped with a check valve to effectively prevent water backflow into the air system when the machine stops). This causes the water inside to agitate the mugwort floating on the chain conveyor 102. Then, the water supply pump is activated, allowing water to enter the spray frame 1 through the water inlet pipe 104. Inside the 03, water is sprayed from the nozzle 106 onto the churning mugwort leaves to wash away the dirt. Then, the chain conveyor 102 is activated, and the pusher plate on the mesh chain moves to carry the washed mugwort leaves out of the washing tank 101 and into the external collection device. Heavy impurities (mud, sand, pebbles) settle to the bottom of the washing tank 101 under gravity. The solenoid valve 108 is activated to allow the water containing dirt to be discharged through the drain pipe 107. Light impurities (broken leaves, insect eggs, grass clippings), due to their low density, float on the water surface and are collected manually by personnel using tools.

[0023] When cleaning the mugwort leaves, the electric push rod 207 is activated, and its telescopic end drives the rack plate 205 to make precise up-and-down reciprocating linear motion under the guidance and constraint of the dovetail groove. The rack plate 205 meshes with the gear 206, thereby driving the rotating column connected to the gear 206 to perform periodic forward and reverse rotation. The rotating column is fixedly connected to the hollow cylinder 202, and the air inlet pipe 201 adopts a telescopic hose design, which has good flexibility and compensation capabilities, allowing the hollow cylinder 202 to rotate synchronously (rotation angle controlled within ±60 degrees) without affecting the air circuit seal. As the hollow cylinder 202 swings, the air distributed on it... The jet nozzle 203 also swings back and forth. Under the action of the air supply pump, high-pressure gas is ejected from the swinging jet nozzle 203, forming a dynamically changing bubble flow field at the bottom of the cleaning tank 101, causing the water to tumble and turbulent in multiple directions. At the same time, the spray nozzle 106 of the upper spray frame 103 continuously sprays high-pressure water, which works in conjunction with the bottom swinging bubble flow to make the mugwort leaves floating on the chain conveyor 102 continuously turn and disperse under the impact of water flow and three-dimensional tumbling effect, avoiding agglomeration and ensuring that the front and back of the leaves and the gaps can be fully wetted and rinsed, thereby significantly improving the removal rate of mud and impurities.

[0024] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, a soft brush roller 301 is rotatably mounted on the right side of the cleaning tank 101 via a rotating column. The soft brush roller 301 is in contact with the mesh chain of the chain conveyor 102. A motor 302 is mounted on the rear side of the cleaning tank 101. The output shaft of the motor 302 is connected to the rear end of the rotating column via a coupling. By controlling the motor 302 to run, the output shaft drives the soft brush roller 301 on the rotating column to run, and makes its rotation direction opposite to the running direction of the chain conveyor 102. This can brush away the mugwort leaves remaining on the mesh chain conveyor and make them fall into the collection device, avoiding the waste of mugwort leaves that continue to be carried inside the mesh chain conveyor.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
