[0017] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-6 The illustrated Chinese herbal medicine cleaning device includes: Cleaning pool 1; Multiple sets of conveying rollers 2 are equidistantly arranged at the upper end of the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1. The two ends of the conveying rollers 2 are rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 1 through bearings. A first drive assembly 3 is provided on the outer side of the cleaning tank 1 to synchronously drive the multiple sets of conveying rollers 2. A movable box 4 that can move up and down is movably arranged above the conveying roller 2. A fixed frame 5 is fixed to the front and back of the movable box 4 from left to right. An adjusting roller 6 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the fixed frame 5 on the opposite side through a bearing.

The bottom of the active box 4 is also embedded with a fixed box 8, and the fixed box 8 is equipped with a spray assembly 9 for rinsing Chinese medicinal materials. A control box is installed on the cleaning pool 1. Multiple sets of conveying rollers 2 rotate in the same direction to transport Chinese medicinal materials in a directional manner. Then, the position of the adjusting roller 6 is raised or lowered by the up-and-down movement of the movable box 4. By cooperating with the conveying rollers 2, the adjusting roller 6 can meet the needs of conveying Chinese medicinal materials of different sizes and shapes. This not only ensures that the Chinese medicinal materials will not fall between the conveying rollers 2 due to their small size, but also allows the Chinese medicinal materials to be turned over. Together with the spray assembly 9 above, the mud and sand on the surface can be washed away. At the same time, the flow rate of the spray assembly 9 can be adjusted to avoid excessive water pressure, which could cause the Chinese medicinal materials to break. This improves the adaptability of the device to the cleaning of different Chinese medicinal materials.

[0018] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown: The first drive assembly 3 includes a protective cover 31 fixed to the outside of the cleaning pool 1. One end of the conveying roller 2 extends into the inner cavity of the protective cover 31 and is fixed with a sprocket 32. The outer sides of two adjacent sets of sprockets 32 are connected by a chain 33. A first drive motor 34 is fixed to the outside of the protective cover 31. The output shaft of the first drive motor 34 is fixedly connected to one end of a set of conveying rollers 2. The first drive motor 34 drives a set of conveying rollers 2 to rotate. Then, adjacent conveying rollers 2 are synchronously driven by the sprockets 32 and the chain 33 to achieve synchronous and unidirectional rotation, which facilitates the directional conveying of Chinese medicinal materials. During the conveying of Chinese medicinal materials, the Chinese medicinal materials can also be flipped between the two sets of conveying rollers 2.

[0019] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-2 As shown: The top of the cleaning tank 1 is fixed with two fixed frames 10 on both sides. The top of the fixed frame 10 is equipped with an electric push rod 11. The movable end of the electric push rod 11 passes through the fixed frame 10 and is fixed to the top of the movable box 4. Through the cooperation of the electric push rod 11 and the grating ruler, the lifting distance of the movable box 4 can be precisely controlled, and the lifting adjustment roller 6 can be adjusted. The adjusting roller 6 is used to support the Chinese medicinal materials between the two sets of conveying rollers 2, so as to ensure that Chinese medicinal materials of different sizes can be stably and directionally conveyed between the conveying rollers 2, while preventing the Chinese medicinal materials from falling.

[0020] Preferred, such as Figure 3-4 As shown: The second drive assembly 7 includes multiple sets of rotating shafts 71 rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the movable box 4 via bearings. One end of each rotating shaft 71 extends through the inner cavity of the fixed frame 5 and is fixed with a first drive synchronous pulley 72. One end of each adjusting roller 6 extends through the inner cavity of the fixed frame 5 and is fixed with a first driven synchronous pulley 73. The first drive synchronous pulley 72 and the first driven synchronous pulley 73 are connected by a first synchronous belt 74. A second drive motor 75 is fixed to the top of the movable box 4. A drive gear 76 is fixed to the output shaft of the second drive motor 75. A worm gear is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the movable box 4 via bearings. The worm gear 77 has a worm wheel 78 fixed at the center of the rotating shaft 71, which meshes with the worm 77. The driven gear 79 is fixed at the center of the worm 77, which meshes with the drive gear 76. The second drive motor 75 drives the drive gear 76 to rotate, and then the drive gear 76 drives the worm 77 through the driven gear 79. The worm 77, in conjunction with the worm wheel 78, synchronously drives the rotating shaft 71. The rotating shaft 71 then drives the first drive synchronous pulley 72 to rotate. With the cooperation of the first synchronous belt 74 and the first driven synchronous pulley 73, the synchronous rotation of multiple sets of adjusting rollers 6 can be realized, which facilitates the transportation and support of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0021] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 4-5 As shown: The spray assembly 9 includes a tube shaft 91 rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the fixed box 8 via bearings. The tube shaft 91 communicates with the inner cavity of the fixed box 8. The bottom of the tube shaft 91 passes through the fixed box 8 and is fixed with a nozzle 92. The top of the fixed box 8 is connected to a connecting pipe 93. The top of the connecting pipe 93 passes through the movable box 4 and is connected to a water inlet pipe 94. A flow control valve 95 is installed on the connecting pipe 93. Cleaning water is introduced into the fixed box 8 through the water inlet pipe 94, and then the cleaning water enters the nozzle 92 along the tube shaft 91, spraying and rinsing the Chinese medicinal materials from above. With the turning of the Chinese medicinal materials, the mud and sand can be thoroughly washed away. At the same time, the flow control valve 95 on the connecting pipe 93 can control the water pressure of the nozzle 92 to avoid excessive water pressure and damage to the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0022] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4-5 As shown: A drive bevel gear 12 is fixed on the worm 77, and a driven bevel gear 13 that meshes with the drive bevel gear 12 is fixed on the top of the tube shaft 91. A second synchronous pulley 14 is fixed on the outside of the tube shaft 91, and a second synchronous belt 15 is connected to the outside of the second synchronous pulley 14. By the meshing of the drive bevel gear 12 fixed on the worm 77 and the driven bevel gear 13 on the tube shaft 91, the worm 77 drives the tube shaft 91. Then, with the cooperation of the second synchronous pulley 14 and the second synchronous belt 15, multiple sets of nozzles 92 rotate synchronously to rinse the Chinese medicinal materials from all directions, ensuring that the Chinese medicinal materials are thoroughly cleaned.

[0023] In addition, such as Figure 1-2 As shown: The inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1 is fixed with multiple sets of partitions 16, which divide the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1 into multiple chambers. The outer side of the cleaning tank 1 is connected to multiple sets of sewage pipes 17 for discharging sludge and sand, and the sewage pipes 17 are connected to the chambers. The partitions 16 facilitate the division of the cleaning tank 1 into multiple chambers. Depending on the location of the Chinese medicinal materials, the sludge content below is different, which makes it convenient to collect the sewage according to the different sludge content, which is convenient for sewage treatment and reuse. The sewage pipes 17 are used to discharge the settled sludge and sand.

[0024] In practical use, the inlet pipe 94 is connected to the external water supply pipe. Then, the Chinese medicinal herbs to be cleaned are fed into the cleaning tank 1 from one side. The herbs are placed above the conveying rollers 2. When the diameter of the herbs is greater than the distance between two sets of adjacent conveying rollers 2, the herbs will not fall. The first drive motor 34 drives one set of conveying rollers 2 to rotate. Then, the other conveying rollers 2 rotate synchronously in the same direction with the cooperation of the sprocket 32 ​​and the chain 33, which can directionally convey the herbs. When the diameter of the herbs is less than the distance between two sets of conveying rollers 2, the electric actuator 11 drives the movable box 4 to move upward, so that the adjusting roller 6 moves synchronously upward between the two sets of conveying rollers 2. The adjusting roller 6 supports the herbs with smaller diameters. Then, the second drive motor 75 drives the drive gear 76 to rotate, which drives the worm gear 77 with the cooperation of the driven gear 79. The worm gear 77 then drives multiple sets of rotating shafts 71 through the worm wheel 78. The system is driven by a series of synchronous pulleys 72, which rotate synchronously. Then, with the cooperation of the first synchronous belt 74 and the first driven synchronous pulley 73, the system drives the adjusting roller 6. The adjusting roller 6 drives the Chinese medicinal materials to transfer between the conveying rollers 2. The water supply pipe introduces cleaning water into the water inlet pipe 94. The cleaning water is introduced into the fixed box 8 through the connecting pipe 93, and then enters the nozzle 92 along the pipe shaft 91. The cleaning water is sprayed outward from the nozzle 92 to wash away the mud and sand on the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, the worm gear 77 drives the drive bevel gear 12 to rotate. The drive bevel gear 12 drives the pipe shaft 91 with the cooperation of the driven bevel gear 13. Then, with the cooperation of the second synchronous pulley 14 and the second synchronous belt 15, the system drives the multiple sets of nozzles 92 to rotate synchronously, so as to achieve all-round washing of the Chinese medicinal materials. The flow control valve 95 on the connecting pipe 93 can control the water pressure sprayed from the nozzle 92 to avoid damage to the Chinese medicinal materials due to excessive water pressure.
