Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food grinding technology, and in particular to a feeding device for the production and packaging of Chinese medicinal ingredients into powder. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of medicinal cuisine, to improve the processing efficiency of effective Chinese medicinal materials and facilitate customer consumption, the materials are usually crushed and ground. In the traditional process of deep processing, the materials are typically placed in a container and transported to the grinder. The container is then manually lifted to feed the materials into the grinder's inlet. This process is labor-intensive and inefficient. Therefore, in modern automated Chinese medicinal material grinding production lines, AGVs transport the container to the grinder, where a fixed lifting mechanism or robotic arm assists in the feeding. However, fixed lifting mechanisms are space-consuming, inflexible, and cannot effectively utilize the production space. Furthermore, they can interfere with external structures and cause accidents that could affect production. Therefore, we propose a feeding device for the powdering and packaging of Chinese medicinal ingredients. Utility Model Content

The support plate 1 is arranged longitudinally, and the bottom plate 2 and top plate 3 are respectively arranged laterally at the bottom and top of the support plate 1. Two longitudinally arranged guide rails 7 are arranged between the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 3. The lifting component 5 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 and is arranged longitudinally between the two guide rails 7. The lifting component 5 extends and retracts, driving the tilting mechanism to move up and down along the guide rails 7. The tilting mechanism drives the upper material cylinder 16 to tilt to one side.

[0019] The bottom plate 2 has casters 4 distributed on its lower end face. Each caster 4 has a locking function, which facilitates the overall movement and allows for precise fine-tuning of the material cylinder 16 to connect with the feed inlet of the grinding machine.

[0020] The lifting component 5 can be either an electric push rod or a pneumatic push rod. The upper movable part of the lifting component 5 is provided with a longitudinally arranged connecting rod 6. The flipping mechanism is set on the connecting rod 6 and is fixed to the connecting rod 6 by bolts, so that the height of the flipping mechanism can be adjusted according to the height of the feed inlet of the grinding machine.

[0021] The flipping mechanism includes a fixed frame 9, a tray 10, a connecting plate 11, a gear 12, a rotating shaft 13, a fixed frame 14, and a flipping cylinder 15. The fixed frame 9 is equipped with a slider 8, which is correspondingly arranged with the guide rail 7. The fixed frame 9 is slidably connected to the guide rail 7 through the slider 8. The fixed frame 9 is equipped with a flipping cylinder 15, and the end of the flipping cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 9. The piston end of the flipping cylinder 15 is equipped with a fixed frame 14. The piston of the flipping cylinder 15 has gear teeth distributed on it. One end of the fixed frame 14 is connected to the flipping cylinder 15, and the other end of the fixed frame 14 is equipped with a rotating shaft 13 that is rotatably connected. The rotating shaft 13 is equipped with a gear 12 that is coaxially arranged. The gear teeth of the piston of the flipping cylinder 15 mesh with the gear 12. The rotation of the flipping mechanism is controlled by the extension and retraction of the piston of the flipping cylinder 15. The gear 12 is equipped with a connecting plate 11, one side of which is connected to the gear 12, and the other side of the connecting plate 11 is equipped with a tray 10.

[0022] The pallet 10 is provided with a fixing plate 17 and a clamping plate 18. The fixing plate 17 and the clamping plate 18 are arranged in parallel. The fixing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the pallet 10, and the clamping plate 18 is slidably connected to the pallet 10. A clamping cylinder 19 is provided on the side of the clamping plate 18 away from the fixing plate 17. An anti-slip pad is provided between the fixing plate 17 and the clamping plate 18.

[0023] The material cylinder 16 is disposed between the fixed plate 17 and the clamping plate 18. At least one material cylinder 16 is provided between the fixed plate 17 and the clamping plate 18, and the material cylinder 16 is correspondingly disposed with the clamping cylinder 19.

[0024] An ultrasonic detector 20 is provided at the upper end of the clamping plate 18. The ultrasonic detector 20 is correspondingly set with the material cylinder 16. The ultrasonic detector 20 is used to detect whether there are Chinese medicinal materials in the material cylinder 16.

[0025] The embodiment describes a feeding device for powdering and packaging traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. In use, the support frame is first positioned, with casters 4 facilitating overall movement of the support frame and allowing for precise fine-tuning of the material cylinder 16 to align with the grinding mill's feed inlet. Based on the height of the grinding mill's feed inlet, the tilting mechanism is installed at the corresponding height on the connecting rod 6. Then, an AGV trolley transports the material cylinder 16 containing the traditional Chinese medicine ingredients to the support frame. Workers or a robotic arm install the material cylinder 16 between the fixed plate 17 and the clamping plate 18. As needed, the material cylinder 16 is positioned between the fixed plate 17 and the clamping plate 18. The clamping cylinder 19 extends to clamp the clamping plate 18 onto the side of the material cylinder 16. The material cylinder 16 is fixed in place with the fixing plate 17. The ultrasonic detector 20 on the clamping plate 18 detects whether there are Chinese medicinal materials in the material cylinder 16. The anti-slip pad between the fixing plate 17 and the clamping plate 18 reduces the risk of the material cylinder 16 falling off when it is turned over. The lifting part 5 extends to the set height and then stops. The piston of the turning cylinder 15 extends to control the rotation of the turning mechanism, so that the upper material cylinder 16 turns over and pours the Chinese medicinal materials into the feed port of the grinder. After pouring, the piston of the turning cylinder 15 retracts, so that the upper material cylinder 16 returns to its position. After the lifting part 5 retracts, the clamping cylinder 19 retracts. The material cylinder 16 can then be removed by the worker or the robotic arm, and a new material cylinder 16 can be installed.
