Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicinal material processing equipment, specifically a raw material cleaning and drying equipment for the production of Gynostemma pentaphyllum total glycosides products. Background Technology

[0002] Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a precious traditional Chinese medicine. Its active ingredient, total glycosides, needs to be extracted from the raw material during the preparation of medicines and health products. The raw material may become contaminated with soil and impurities during harvesting and transportation, therefore it must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before extraction.

[0003] Currently, many manufacturers still rely on manual washing and natural air drying, which suffers from high labor intensity, low efficiency, difficulty in controlling hygiene, significant susceptibility to weather conditions, and long drying times that can lead to raw material deterioration. While some companies use washing machines, most are single-function, requiring the wet materials to be transferred to another machine for dehydration and drying after washing. This not only increases the number of processes and equipment investment but also easily causes damage and secondary contamination of the raw materials during the transfer process. Therefore, developing a specialized device that integrates efficient washing, dehydration, and rapid drying is of great significance. Utility Model Content

One end of the diversion pipe passes through the right support plate and is connected to a pipe connector. A closed door is hinged to the front surface of the cylinder. Multiple drainage holes are opened on the surface of both the cylinder and the closed door. A controller is fixed on the surface of the water collection shell.

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 A raw material cleaning and drying device for the production of Gynostemma pentaphyllum total glycosides includes a mounting frame 1 and a cylinder 3. Two support plates 2 are fixed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1. A drive mechanism 4 is provided on the surface of the support plate 2. A drying mechanism 5 and a water collection shell 6 are provided below the mounting frame 1. A support shaft 7 is fixed on the left side surface of the cylinder 3. The left end of the support shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the surface of the left support plate 2. A ventilation pipe 8 is connected to the right side surface of the cylinder 3. The ventilation pipe 8 passes through the right support plate 2. The ventilation pipe 8 is rotatably connected to the surface of the support plate 2 at the point of penetration. A diversion pipe 9 is fixed on the surface of the support plate 2. Multiple downward-facing nozzles are connected to the surface of the diversion pipe 9. One end of the diversion pipe 9 passes through the right support plate 2 and is connected to a pipe connector 10. A closed door 11 is hinged to the front surface of the cylinder 3. Multiple drainage holes 12 are opened on the surface of the cylinder 3 and the closed door 11. A controller 13 is fixed on the surface of the water collection shell 6. A drain valve is connected to the back of the water collection shell 6.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the drive mechanism 4 provides power for the rotation of the cylinder 3, enabling the Gynostemma pentaphyllum raw material inside the cylinder to tumble; the drying mechanism 5 generates and introduces hot air; the water collection shell 6 is used to collect wastewater generated during the washing and dehydration process, keeping the working environment clean; the support shaft 7 and the ventilation pipe 8 together constitute the rotation support structure of the cylinder 3, while the ventilation pipe 8 allows hot air to enter the cylinder; the diversion pipe 9 and its nozzles can evenly spray the washing water onto the raw material to achieve comprehensive rinsing; the closed door 11 facilitates feeding and discharging, and the drainage holes 12 on it work together with the holes on the cylinder 3 to allow water to be smoothly discharged under centrifugal force without leakage of raw material; the controller 13 controls the entire equipment operation process. This structure realizes the integration of washing and drying functions, greatly reduces material transfer links, improves production efficiency, and reduces labor costs and the risk of secondary pollution.

[0022] The drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 401, which is fixed to the surface of the left support plate 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 401 passes through the support plate 2 and is fixed with a rotating shaft 402. The right end of the rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected to the surface of the right support plate 2. Both the rotating shaft 402 and the support shaft 7 are fixed with pulleys 403. The pulleys 403 on the upper and lower sides are connected by belt drive.

[0023] With the above technical solution, after the drive motor 401 starts, it drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate. Through the pulley 403 fixed on the rotating shaft 402 and the support shaft 7 and the belt transmission, the power is effectively transmitted to the cylinder 3, so that it rotates smoothly around the axis.

[0024] The drying mechanism 5 includes a hot air blower 501 and a square profile plate 502. The square profile plate 502 is fixed to the surface of the right support plate 2. A rotary joint 503 is fixed to the surface of the square profile plate 502. The rotating end of the rotary joint 503 is connected to the right end of the ventilation pipe 8. The fixed end of the rotary joint 503 is connected to the air supply pipe 504, which is connected to the hot air blower 501.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the high-temperature dry air generated by the hot air blower 501 is delivered to the fixed end of the rotary joint 503 through the air supply pipe 504; the fixed end of the rotary joint 503 is connected to the air supply pipe 504, and the rotating end is connected to the ventilation pipe 8 on the cylinder 3. This allows hot air to be continuously and leak-free introduced into the rotating cylinder 3 even when the cylinder 3 rotates continuously; the square profile plate 502 serves to fix and support the rotary joint 503, ensuring its stability during operation; after the hot air enters the cylinder 3, it penetrates the wet raw material that is being continuously thrown up by the lifting plate 14 and is in a loose state, making full use of the material surface area, thereby efficiently removing moisture.

[0026] Both the drainage hole 12 and the inner wall of the ventilation pipe 8 are fixed with intercepting filters. The diameter of the drainage hole 12 is 5mm to 15mm.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, installing an intercepting filter on the inner wall of the drainage hole 12 can effectively prevent small fragments or impurities of Gynostemma pentaphyllum raw material from being lost through the larger drainage hole 12 during the cleaning and dehydration process inside the cylinder 3, thus reducing material loss. Similarly, setting an intercepting filter on the inner wall of the ventilation pipe 8 can prevent the raw material from being carried into the ventilation pipe 8 by the airflow during the drying process, or even clogging the rotary joint 503 or damaging the hot air blower 501, thus protecting the downstream equipment. Setting the diameter of the drainage hole 12 within a moderate range is to ensure that drainage and ventilation are unobstructed while ensuring sufficient interception capacity for the raw material.

[0028] Multiple equidistant lifting plates 14 are fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder 3.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, when the cylinder 3 rotates under the drive mechanism 4, these lifting plates 14 will move with the cylinder wall and lift the raw material at the bottom. When the raw material is lifted to a certain height, it will fall from the lifting plates 14 due to gravity, forming a continuous throwing motion. In the washing stage, this motion makes the contact between the raw material and the water flow more sufficient, avoiding the dead corners in the washing process that exist in traditional soaking or simple stirring. In the dehydration and drying stage, this throwing action breaks up the raw material clumps, increases the contact area between the material and the airflow, and thus greatly improves the centrifugal dehydration efficiency and hot air drying efficiency.

[0030] Two first connecting plates 17 are fixed below the surface of the closed door 11, and two second connecting plates 18 are fixed on the front surface of the cylinder 3 to cooperate with the first connecting plates 17. Threaded holes are opened on the surfaces of the first connecting plates 17 and the second connecting plates 18.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, by opening threaded holes on the first connecting plate 17 and the second connecting plate 18, the two can be firmly connected together using fasteners such as bolts, thereby tightly fixing the closed door 11 to the cylinder 3. This connection method provides sufficient mechanical strength to withstand the huge centrifugal force generated by the cylinder 3 during high-speed rotation and dehydration, ensuring that the closed door 11 will not be opened accidentally and guaranteeing operational safety. At the same time, when feeding or discharging materials is required, the closed door 11 can be opened by simply loosening the fasteners and rotating the hinge, making the operation relatively simple.

[0032] Water baffles 15 are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the top of the water collection shell 6, and an operating door 16 is hinged to the surface of the front water baffle 15.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, the baffle plate 15 forms a semi-enclosed protective structure; this structure can effectively prevent water droplets thrown out of the drainage hole 12 from splashing around when the cylinder 3 is rotating at high speed for dehydration, forcing most of the wastewater to fall into the water collection shell 6 for centralized collection and treatment; the operating door 16 hinged on the front baffle plate 15 provides operating space for operators, making it easy to clean the residue that may accumulate inside the water collection shell 6 or to perform maintenance, without having to move the entire equipment or perform complex disassembly work.

[0034] Working principle: The operator first starts the equipment through the controller 13, and opens the closed door 11 and the operating door 16 to load the raw material of Gynostemma pentaphyllum to be processed into the cylinder 3. After closing and locking the closed door 11 and the operating door 16, the operator selects the preset cleaning and drying program on the controller 13. After the program starts, the drive motor 401 in the drive mechanism 4 starts working first, driving the cylinder 3 to start rotating at a low speed through the pulley 403 and belt drive. At the same time, the pipe connector 10 connected to the external water source starts to supply water. The water flows through the diversion pipe 9 and its multiple nozzles and is evenly sprayed onto the raw material in the cylinder 3. The lifting plates 14 on the inner wall of the cylinder 3 continuously lift and throw the raw material during the rotation, forming a waterfall effect, so that the raw material is fully in contact with the water flow and tumbles for thorough cleaning. The sewage is thrown out through the drainage holes 12 on the cylinder 3 and the closed door 11. The water falls into the water collection shell 6 below. After the preset cleaning time, the water inlet is closed, but the drive motor 401 continues to work and accelerates, causing the cylinder 3 to enter a high-speed rotation mode. Centrifugal force is used to forcibly remove most of the water adhering to the surface of the raw material, achieving efficient dehydration. After the dehydration step is completed, the drying mechanism 5 starts. The clean hot air generated by the hot air blower 501 is sent into the continuously rotating cylinder 3 through the air supply pipe 504, rotary joint 503 and ventilation pipe 8. The hot air penetrates the loose raw material layer that is constantly lifted by the lifting plate 14, quickly taking away the remaining moisture, achieving rapid drying. The entire cleaning, dehydration and drying process can be completed automatically and continuously under the control of the controller 13. After the program ends, the cylinder 3 stops rotating, and the operator can open the closed door 11 to take out the clean and dry raw material that meets the requirements. This equipment integrates multiple processes into one, with a high degree of automation, which greatly improves the efficiency and quality stability of the pretreatment of Gynostemma pentaphyllum raw materials, and effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of traditional methods.
