Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of packaging of Chinese herbal medicine pieces, and in particular to a material shovel with adjustable capacity. Background Art
[0002] There are many kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, including flowers, leaves, seeds, bark, minerals and other different textures. The packaging process has a large daily packaging volume, and it is all manually divided, weighed and sealed. And some packaging specifications require 500g; some require 1000g; some require 2000g, etc. Workers put different varieties of Chinese herbal medicines into kraft paper bags and weigh them. In this process, it is necessary to return more and make up less, and adjust the amount of the kraft bag. The accuracy of the initial filling is the key link that affects the return and make up when weighing, and the shovel used for filling depends on the feel of the packer for different materials.
[0003] In the packaging process of Chinese herbal medicines, manual packaging, weighing and bag sealing are currently widely used. Due to the wide variety of Chinese herbal medicines and their different textures, the packaging quantity needs to be frequently adjusted during the packaging process to meet the packaging requirements of different specifications. Existing packaging shovels are usually of fixed size and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the characteristics of the material, resulting in multiple adjustments during the packaging process, which increases the workload and time cost, while reducing the accuracy and efficiency of packaging. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a material shovel with adjustable capacity, which has the advantages of being able to flexibly adjust the shovel capacity, reducing the number of adjustments during the packaging process, and improving packaging accuracy and work efficiency. It solves the problem that workers usually use stainless steel shovels of fixed sizes for preliminary packaging of Chinese herbal medicines, control the filling amount by feel, and then adjust it by weighing. This method is inefficient and the accuracy is greatly affected by human factors.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present application provides the following technical solutions: a material shovel with adjustable capacity, comprising a back plate, the outer circumferential surface of the back plate is slidably connected to the shovel body, an adjusting rod is rotatably inserted inside the back plate, the outer circumferential surface of the adjusting rod is threadedly connected to a threaded tube, the outer circumferential surface of the threaded tube is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, the bottom surface of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shovel body, and the top of the back plate is fixedly connected to a handle.
[0006] Through the above scheme, since workers usually use stainless steel shovels of fixed size to carry out preliminary packaging of Chinese herbal medicines, control the filling amount by hand feeling, and then adjust by weighing, this method is inefficient and the accuracy is greatly affected by human factors. By setting weight sensors and display screens, the weight of materials during packaging operations can be displayed intuitively, which provides convenience for the packaging of Chinese herbal medicines. The threaded tube is driven to move by the adjusting rod during rotation, so that the connecting plate drives the shovel body to move, and then the capacity of the shovel body is flexibly adjusted according to the characteristics and packaging requirements of different Chinese herbal medicines, thereby significantly reducing the number of adjustments during the packaging process, which not only improves the accuracy of packaging, but also greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of workers.
[0007] Furthermore, two slide plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shovel body, and two limiting grooves are arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the back plate. The outer surface of the slide plate is slidably connected to the back plate through the limiting grooves.
[0008] Through the above scheme, the shovel body is restricted by the slide plate and the limit groove, so that the shovel body can slide on the back plate, thereby making the capacity of the shovel body adjustable. The shovel body also relies on the slide plate and the limit groove for support, so that the shovel body is always connected to the back plate, thereby increasing the stability of the shovel body during movement.
[0009] Furthermore, a limiting ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the adjusting rod, and the outer circumferential surface of the limiting ring is rotatably connected to the inside of the back plate.
[0010] Through the above solution, the adjusting rod is restricted to prevent the adjusting rod from sliding and falling off, thereby increasing the stability of the movement of the adjusting rod.
[0011] Furthermore, a hand wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the adjusting rod, and the outer circumferential surface of the hand wheel is provided with anti-skid grooves arranged at equal distances.
[0012] Through the above scheme, the adjusting rod can be controlled by the hand wheel, and hand slipping can be effectively prevented.
[0013] Furthermore, the upper surface of the shovel body is provided with equidistantly arranged scale grooves, and the outer circumferential surface of the back plate is fixedly connected with two pointers.
[0014] Through the above scheme, the capacity of the shovel body can be confirmed through the scale groove and the pointer, which is convenient for adjusting the capacity of the shovel body according to different varieties and textures of Chinese herbal medicines.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the handle is provided with equidistantly arranged pick-up and release grooves, and each of the pick-up and release grooves is located at the bottom end of the handle.
[0016] Through the above solution, the pick-and-place slot is ergonomic and provides a comfortable grip.
[0017] Furthermore, a weight sensor is slidably connected to the interior of the handle via an empty groove, and a display screen is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the handle.
[0018] Through the above scheme, the packaged Chinese herbal medicines can be weighed through the weight sensor, and the weighing result can be displayed on the display screen, and the weight information of the shovel Chinese herbal medicines can be fed back in real time to further assist workers in accurate packaging.
[0019] Furthermore, a top cover is provided at the end of the handle, and the inner wall of the top cover is threadedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the handle.
[0020] Through the above solution, the top cover can protect the weight sensor and facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the weight sensor.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] The material shovel with adjustable capacity is provided with a weight sensor and a display screen, so that the weight of the material during the packaging operation can be intuitively displayed. The adjusting rod drives the threaded tube to move during rotation, so that the connecting plate drives the shovel body to move, so that the capacity of the shovel body can be flexibly adjusted according to the characteristics and packaging requirements of different Chinese herbal medicines, thereby significantly reducing the number of adjustments during the packaging process, improving the packaging accuracy, increasing work efficiency, and reducing the labor intensity of workers, and solving the problem that the workers use stainless steel shovels of fixed sizes to pack Chinese herbal medicines with low efficiency and the accuracy is greatly affected by human factors.
