The appearances of such phrases in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those of skill in the art will explicitly and implicitly appreciate that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

As shown in fig. 1, a medicine tub cleaning apparatus corresponding to a preferred embodiment of the present application includes a first medicine tub conveying line, a tub cleaning line 2, a top cover cleaning line 3, a first tub carrying device 4, and a first top cover carrying device 5. The barrel cleaning line 2 is used for cleaning the barrel of the medicine barrel 10, the top cover cleaning line 3 is used for cleaning the top cover 13 of the medicine barrel 10, the first barrel conveying device 4 is used for conveying the barrel to the barrel cleaning line 2 for cleaning, and the first top cover conveying device 5 is used for conveying the top cover 13 to the top cover cleaning line 3 for cleaning.

The annular rim 130 has a diameter at least greater than the diameter of the opening of the inner barrel 12 to prevent the top cover 13 from falling completely into the inner barrel 12. The cover 131 is used for shielding the opening of the inner barrel 12 to prevent the liquid medicine from splashing out in the process of decocting the medicine, and the cover 131 is sunk into the inner barrel 12, so that the top cover 13 is more stable. The cover 131 has a smooth upper surface 132 to facilitate suction by the suction cup.

The Chinese medicinal materials are usually prepared into decoction pieces, and often require multiple times of decoction, for example, one decoction and two decoction, wherein one decoction refers to the first decoction of the Chinese medicinal decoction pieces, and two decoction refers to the Chinese medicinal decoction pieces after one decoction, and the decoction is performed again after water is added again. To facilitate multiple decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, the drug bucket 10 can be divided into a first drug bucket and a second drug bucket, wherein the first drug bucket comprises an intact outer bucket 11, an inner bucket 12 and a top cover 13, while the second drug bucket is not provided with the inner bucket 12, and the inner bucket 12 can be transferred between the first drug bucket and the second drug bucket during decoction.

Since the tub cleaning line 2 sequentially cleans the first outer tub, the inner tub, and the second outer tub in this embodiment, the tub conveyed to the take-out area 20b of the tub conveying line 20 is also sequentially the first outer tub, the inner tub, and the second outer tub. In this way, the second barrel body handling device 7 can take down the first outer barrel at the material taking area 20b and turn over and then put on the second medicine barrel conveying line 9, then the second barrel body handling device 7 takes down the inner barrel at the material taking area 20b and turns over and then put into the outer barrel 11, and then the second top cover handling device 8 sucks the top cover 13 on the top cover conveying line 30 and then installs the top cover on the top of the inner barrel 12, so as to complete the assembly of the first medicine barrel; and then the second outer barrel is overturned and conveyed to the second medicine barrel conveying line 9, and finally the top cover 13 is mounted on the second outer barrel, so that the assembly of the second medicine barrel is completed. The first medicine barrel and the second medicine barrel which are assembled can continue the decoction operation.

The application has at least the following advantages:

4. the medicine barrel cleaning equipment is also provided with the second barrel body carrying device and the second top cover carrying device, so that the top cover can be automatically mounted on the barrel body after the barrel body and the top cover are cleaned, the first medicine barrel and the second medicine barrel are assembled, the automation degree of the equipment is further improved, and the production efficiency is improved.

The foregoing description is only of embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the scope of the application, and all equivalent structures or equivalent processes using the descriptions and the drawings of the present application or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields are included in the scope of the present application.
