DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0036] See also Figures 1 to 7A Chinese medicine filling and labeling machine includes a frame 1. The frame is equipped with a filling machine 2, a labeling machine 3 for labeling Chinese medicine containers filled by the filling machine, a decoction pot lid opening structure, a Chinese medicine filtering structure, and a liquid medicine conveying structure. The decoction pot includes an outer pot 57, an inner pot 58 inserted into the outer pot, and a pot lid 59 covering the inner pot. The bottom wall of the inner pot is provided with filtering holes. During use, a transfer robot moves the decoction pot to the decoction pot lid opening structure, removes the pot lid through the decoction pot lid opening structure, and transfers the inner and outer pots to the Chinese medicine filtering structure. The Chinese medicine filtering structure secures the inner pot. The transfer robot descends, causing the outer pot to descend together, thereby separating the inner and outer pots. After separation, the inner pot filters the Chinese medicine, and the medicinal liquid enters the outer pot, while the medicinal residue remains in the inner pot. The liquid medicine conveying structure conveys the medicinal liquid in the outer pot to the liquid storage barrel 60 of the filling machine. The filling machine dispenses the medicinal liquid into Chinese medicine containers as required, and the Chinese medicine containers are labeled with the required labels by the labeling machine.
[0037] The pot lid is provided with a gripping protrusion at the center. The decoction pot lid opening mechanism includes a lid gripping manipulator 4 that grasps the gripping protrusion and a lid gripping manipulator moving mechanism 5 that drives the lid gripping manipulator to move and remove the pot lid from the inner pot. When opening the pot lid, the lid gripping manipulator grasps the gripping protrusion, and then the lid gripping manipulator moving mechanism drives the lid gripping manipulator to move and remove the pot lid from the inner pot. The lid gripping manipulator includes gripping fingers 6, a gripping finger opening and closing cylinder 7 that drives the gripping fingers to open and close, and a lid gripping manipulator connecting arm 8 that connects the gripping finger opening and closing cylinder to the lid gripping manipulator moving mechanism. The lid gripping manipulator moving mechanism includes a horizontal shaft 9 rotatably connected to the frame and a shaft drive mechanism 10 that drives the horizontal shaft. The lid gripping manipulator connecting arm is fixed to the horizontal shaft. The pot lid gripping manipulator's connecting arm comprises a horizontal arm 11, one end of which is connected to the gripper cylinder body, and a vertical arm 12, the upper end of which is connected to the horizontal arm. The lower end of the vertical arm is fixed to the horizontal rotating shaft. The rotating shaft drive structure comprises a rotating shaft drive cylinder 13 and a driving arm 14, one end of which is fixed to the horizontal rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft drive cylinder is hinged to the frame via a first horizontal hinge 15, and the other end is hinged to the other end of the driving arm via a second horizontal hinge 16. The first horizontal hinge, the horizontal rotating shaft, and the second horizontal hinge are parallel. The driving arm extends radially along the horizontal rotating shaft. A decoction pot support bracket 17 is also provided on the frame. The pot lid gripping manipulator is located above the decoction pot support bracket and can grasp the decoction pot lid when it is resting on the decoction pot support bracket.
[0038] The Chinese medicine filtration structure includes a support platform 18 and a suspension fork located above the support platform. The suspension fork is used to support the inner pot by its outer flange to suspend the inner pot. A scale is mounted on the support platform to measure the mass of objects placed on the support platform. When the inner pot is suspended on the suspension fork and the outer pot is supported on the support platform, the inner and outer pots are separated. During use, a decoction pot transfer robot transfers the decoction pot, with the lid removed, to the inner pot's outer flange, where it hangs on the suspension fork. The decoction pot transfer robot then moves downward, driving the outer pot to rest on the support platform, thereby separating the inner and outer pots and filtering the Chinese medicine through the inner pot. The Chinese medicine filtration structure also includes a pressing structure 19 for the Chinese medicine filtration structure. The suspension fork includes a fork body 20 that suspends the inner pot and a fork body reset structure 21. The fork body includes two fork rods 22 arranged in a left-right direction and a connecting rod 23 connecting the two fork rods. The two fork rods are each supported on a swinging seat 24 so that they can swing back and forth. A fork body reset structure is located between each swinging seat and the fork body. The pressing structure of the Chinese medicine filtration structure is used to press the fork body, causing it to tilt in the front-to-back direction, thereby causing the inner pot to tilt. The fork body reset structure is used to reset the fork body after the pressing structure of the Chinese medicine filtration structure loses its pressing operation on the rear fork rod. During filtration in the decoction pot, the pressing structure of the Chinese medicine filtration structure presses the suspension fork, causing it to tilt, thereby tilting the inner pot. After tilting, the coverage area of the Chinese medicine flowing out of the inner pot is reduced, which can reliably prevent the medicinal liquid from dripping onto the outside of the outer pot. The pressing structure of the Chinese medicine filtration structure includes a pressing block and a pressing cylinder 26 that drives the pressing block downward. When the inner pot is suspended on the fork body, the pressing block is located directly above the inner pot. A hanging block 27 is each provided on the connecting rod and the two fork rods to support the outer edge of the inner pot. When the inner pot is suspended on the three hanging blocks, the center of gravity of the inner pot is located within the area enclosed by the three hanging blocks. The end face 28 of the hanging block facing one end of the area enclosed by the three hanging blocks is a curved surface. The suspension fork is equipped with two opposing, telescopic clamping cylinders 29. The piston rods of these clamping cylinders are equipped with clamping blocks 30 for clamping the outer flange of the inner pot. When the outer pot is reattached to the inner pot, the two clamping cylinders drive the clamping blocks to close, clamping the inner pot and preventing it from being lifted by the outer pot. The swinging seat comprises a connecting seat 31 connected to the frame, a panel 32 connected above the connecting seat, and a support protrusion 33 provided on the panel. One end of the fork rod is supported on the support protrusion. The fork body reset structure comprises a pull rod 34, the upper end of which passes through the panel and connects to the other end of the fork rod. A reset spring 35 is mounted on the pull rod. The upper end of the reset spring is connected to the panel, and the lower end is connected to the lower end of the pull rod. When the suspension fork is tilted by the pressure of the Chinese medicine filtration structure, the reset spring deforms and stores energy. When the pressure of the Chinese medicine filtration structure is released, the reset spring releases energy and resets the suspension fork through the pull rod.A swing limit rod 36 is passed through one end of the panel where the pull rod is connected. The upper end of the swing limit rod is connected to the fork rod, and the lower end is provided with a lower limit block 37. The swing limit rod is also connected to an upper limit block 38 located above the panel. When the fork body reset structure drives the fork body to reset, the fork body stops swinging when the upper limit block abuts against the panel. When the pressing structure of the traditional Chinese medicine filtering structure drives the fork body to swing, the fork body stops swinging when the lower limit block abuts against the panel.
[0039] The liquid medicine delivery structure includes a water pump 39, a liquid inlet pipe 56 connected to the pump's inlet, and a liquid outlet pipe 40 connected to the pump's outlet. The outlet of the liquid outlet pipe communicates with the liquid storage tank. The liquid inlet pipe includes a downwardly facing rigid pipe section 41 and a flexible pipe section 42 connecting the rigid pipe section to the pump's inlet. The rigid pipe section is connected to a liquid inlet pipe lifting structure 43, which is connected to the frame via a liquid inlet pipe translation structure 44. During use, the rigid pipe section is inserted into the liquid medicine in the outer pot under the action of the liquid inlet pipe lifting and translation structures, and the liquid medicine is then pumped into the liquid medicine storage tank by the water pump. The lower connection of the liquid inlet pipe lifting structure includes a lower connecting block 45, an upper connecting block, a vertical guide rod 46, a vertical lead screw 47, and a lifting seat 48. The two ends of the vertical guide rod are connected to the upper and lower connecting blocks. The vertical guide rod is installed on the lifting seat. The lower end of the vertical lead screw is rotatably connected to the lower connecting block, and the upper end is connected to the lifting motor. The lifting motor is connected to the upper connecting block. The vertical lead screw is threadedly connected to the lifting seat. The rigid pipe section is fixed together through the lifting seat. During use, the lifting motor drives the lifting seat to move, thereby achieving the lifting of the rigid pipe section. The liquid inlet pipe translation structure includes a forward and backward telescopic translation cylinder 49 and a forward and backward support slide 50 connected to the frame. One end of the translation cylinder is connected to the frame and the other end is connected to the lower connecting block. The lower connecting block rests on the forward and backward support slide. The lifting seat is provided with two connecting ears 51 distributed in the vertical direction. The connecting ears are provided with vertical plug holes. The hole wall of the vertical plug hole is provided with a slit 52 that passes through the outer side of the connecting ear. The slit is used to allow the vertical plug hole to be elastically opened. The rigid pipe section is inserted into the vertical plug hole. The elastic force generated when the vertical plug hole is opened causes the vertical plug hole to hold the rigid pipe section. It also includes a cleaning cylinder 53 for cleaning the rigid pipe section. The liquid medicine delivery structure also includes a shampoo water input faucet 54, and the washing water input faucet is connected to the water source of the cylinder. It also includes a horizontal telescopic cylinder 55. The cylinder body of the horizontal telescopic cylinder is fixed to the frame. The washing water input faucet is connected to the piston rod of the horizontal telescopic cylinder. The horizontal cylinder is used to extend the faucet to the top of the washing cylinder.
[0040] The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: See also Figures 8 to 10A cylindrical gripping protrusion 77 is provided at the center of the pot lid, and a circular pressure relief hole 78 is provided on the upper end surface of the gripping protrusion, which penetrates the inner surface of the pot. The pot lid grasping robot also includes two clamping rods 79 extending horizontally. The middle parts of the two clamping rods are hinged together by a vertical hinge shaft 81. A clamping opening 82 for clamping the gripping protrusion is formed between one end of the two clamping rods, and an escape opening 83 is formed between the other ends. The two clamping rods are hinged together with the two clamping fingers 6 in a one-to-one correspondence via a connecting shaft 84. A sliding hole 86 is provided on the upper end surface of the vertical hinge shaft, through which a sliding rod 87 is passed. The upper end of the sliding rod is connected to the middle of a horizontal connecting rod 88. One end of the horizontal connecting rod is provided with a vertical filling rod 89 aligned with the clamping opening, and the other end is provided with a driving block 90 located in the avoidance opening. The sliding rod is sleeved with a lifting spring 91 for lifting the horizontal connecting rod. The size of the driving block gradually increases from top to bottom along the distribution direction of the two clamping rods. The pinching protrusion is located within the clamping opening. When the clamping opening is in the open state, the vertical filling rod is aligned with the pressure relief through hole and located outside the pressure relief through hole. When the clamping opening clamps the pinching protrusion, the vertical filling rod is inserted into the pressure relief hole, and the lower end of the vertical filling rod is located in the clamping opening. This can prevent the pinching protrusion from being pinched flat.
