[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces refer to processed Chinese medicinal materials that can be directly used in TCM clinical prescriptions or in the production of prepared Chinese medicines. Based on Chinese medicinal materials, they are processed through cleaning, cutting, roasting and other processes to produce medicinal materials in the form of slices, segments or other specifications or with specific medicinal properties. They can be used directly in pharmacies to dispense and decoct medicines according to prescriptions, and are also raw materials for the production of prepared Chinese medicines. They are of great significance in optimizing medicinal properties and standardizing production.

[0003] Spiral feeding of Chinese medicinal herbs refers to the technology or process of quantitatively conveying and feeding Chinese medicinal herbs using a spiral conveyor device. Its core is to continuously and evenly transport the accumulated Chinese medicinal herbs from the silo or container to the designated location through the rotational motion of the spiral structure, so as to realize the automated transmission and distribution of materials.

[0004] Currently, there are existing technologies for spiral feeding mechanisms for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Although the feeding speed can be controlled by adjusting the spiral rotation speed, in actual applications, spiral feeding mechanisms are mostly fixed installation modes, which makes it inconvenient to adjust the height of the feeding port. When connecting to receiving equipment of different specifications or adapting to diverse production scenarios, the lack of space adaptability often affects the ease of operation and makes it difficult to flexibly meet the feeding needs under different working conditions.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an adjustable spiral feeding mechanism for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable spiral feeding mechanism for Chinese herbal medicine slices, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model relates to an adjustable spiral feeding mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, comprising a connecting frame, a telescopic ring fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting frame, a tapered tube fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the telescopic ring, and a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tapered tube. A spiral shaft is provided inside the connecting frame, the telescopic ring, the tapered tube, and the discharge pipe. A controller and a rotary motor are respectively installed above the connecting frame. The output end of the rotary motor passes through the connecting frame and is fixedly connected to the top end of the spiral shaft. A feed pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame. Two electric push rods are provided on the outer surface of the telescopic ring. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of each electric push rod, and the sides of the two connecting plates that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tapered tube.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting frame, and the bottom surface of the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the top end of the electric push rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the fixing ring is fixedly connected with fixing frames arranged at equal intervals, and each fixing frame is provided with a fixing pin inside.

[0011] Furthermore, a flange is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feed pipe, and the upper surface of the flange is provided with reinforcement holes arranged at equal intervals.

[0012] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the controller, and the bottom surface of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a fixed base is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotary motor, and the bottom surface of the fixed base is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame.

[0014] Furthermore, a protective shell is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame, and the protective shell is sleeved on the outside of the rotary motor.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This utility model uses an electric push rod to drive the telescopic ring and the conical tube to lift and lower in a coordinated manner, which can realize stepless adjustment of the discharge port height within a large range. Compared with the traditional fixed installation structure, this design can accurately adapt to receiving containers of different heights, such as small weighing hoppers and large transfer silos, avoiding material spillage or poor conveying caused by height mismatch, and significantly improving the spatial adaptability and ease of operation of the equipment in different production scenarios.

[0017] This invention uses a rotary motor to drive a spiral shaft to rotate, and combined with the controller to precisely control the rotation speed, it can flexibly adjust the feeding speed of Chinese herbal medicine slices according to production needs. Whether it is small-dose precise dispensing or large-batch rapid conveying, it can be automatically adjusted through a preset program to prevent abnormal feeding from affecting the production rhythm and greatly improve the automation level and quantitative accuracy of the production process.

[0018] In summary, this adjustable screw feeding mechanism, through its refined height and speed adjustment design, effectively overcomes the drawbacks of traditional fixed installation mechanisms, such as poor adaptability and inconvenient adjustment. It achieves an intelligent upgrade of the Chinese herbal medicine production process, demonstrating significant advantages in improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring ingredient accuracy.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is an adjustable spiral feeding mechanism for Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a connecting frame 1. A telescopic ring 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting frame 1. A tapered tube 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the telescopic ring 2. A discharge pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tapered tube 3. A spiral shaft 16 is provided inside the connecting frame 1, the telescopic ring 2, the tapered tube 3 and the discharge pipe 4. A controller 9 and a rotary motor 15 are respectively provided above the connecting frame 1. The output end of the rotary motor 15 passes through the connecting frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the top end of the spiral shaft 16. A feed pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame 1. Two electric push rods 17 are provided on the outer surface of the telescopic ring 2. A connecting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of each electric push rod 17. The sides of the two connecting plates 18 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tapered tube 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the telescopic ring 2 has an autonomous stretching and retracting function, which can work with the electric push rod 17 to achieve flexible length adjustment. Meanwhile, the controller 9 adopts a programmable logic controller (PLC), which has precise parameter setting and logic control capabilities. It can synchronously coordinate the lifting action of the electric push rod 17 and the speed adjustment of the rotary motor 15, ensuring that the linkage control of the feeding height and speed is more in line with production needs, and improving the stability and intelligence level of equipment operation.

[0032] Among them, a fixing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting frame 1. The bottom surface of the fixing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod 17. In this embodiment, the fixing ring 5 is made of high-strength alloy material and is rigidly connected to the connecting frame 1 by welding, providing stable support for the electric push rod 17 and ensuring the force balance during its lifting and lowering action.

[0033] The outer surface of the fixing ring 5 is fixedly connected with fixing frames 7 arranged at equal intervals. Each fixing frame 7 is provided with a fixing pin 6 inside. In this embodiment, the fixing frames 7 are evenly distributed and, together with the fixing pin 6, the whole mechanism can be quickly fixed to the production line support or wall. It is easy to assemble and disassemble and has high connection strength, which can adapt to the needs of different installation scenarios.

[0034] The outer surface of the feed pipe 11 is fixedly connected to a flange 12. The upper surface of the flange 12 is provided with equally spaced reinforcing holes 13. In this embodiment, the flange 12 is adapted to the flange structure of the upstream storage equipment, and a sealed connection is achieved by bolts passing through the reinforcing holes 13, which effectively prevents material leakage or dust during material conveying.

[0035] The bottom surface of the controller 9 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 8, and the bottom surface of the fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame 1. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 8 is made of thickened steel plate bent and formed, and is fastened to the connecting frame 1 by bolts, so as to provide a stable installation foundation for the controller 9 and avoid the impact of equipment operation vibration on the control components.

[0036] The right side of the rotary motor 15 is fixedly connected to a fixed base 14. The bottom surface of the fixed base 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame 1. In this embodiment, the fixed base 14 is connected to the rotary motor 15 through a shock-absorbing pad, which can buffer the vibration transmission during motor operation, reduce noise and extend the service life of the motor, while ensuring the coaxiality of the output shaft and the screw shaft 16.

[0037] The upper surface of the connecting frame 1 is fixedly connected to a protective shell 10, which is sleeved on the outside of the rotary motor 15. In this embodiment, the protective shell 10 adopts a dustproof and waterproof design and has louvered heat dissipation holes, which can not only isolate the motor from external dust and moisture, but also ensure smooth heat dissipation and improve the safety of equipment operation.

[0038] Understandably, the electric push rod 17 drives the telescopic ring 2 and the conical tube 3 to work together, enabling flexible adjustment of the discharge port height to precisely adapt to different specifications of receiving containers, avoiding material spillage or obstruction of conveying, and improving the applicability and ease of operation. At the same time, the rotary motor 15 drives the spiral shaft 16 to rotate, and combined with the controller 9 to precisely adjust the speed, the discharge speed can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of small-dose dispensing and large-volume conveying. Through automated adjustment, the production rhythm is ensured, and production efficiency and quantitative accuracy are improved.

[0039] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the entire mechanism is first fixed to the production line support or wall using the fixing frame 7 and fixing pin 6 to ensure equipment stability. Then, it is connected to the upstream storage equipment via the flange 12 outside the feed pipe 11. Bolts are used to pass through the reinforcing hole 13 to achieve a sealed connection and prevent leakage. After starting the equipment, the controller 9 presets parameters according to production needs. If the discharge height needs to be adjusted, the controller 9 drives the electric push rod 17 to extend and retract, which in turn drives the tapered tube 3 to rise and fall via the connecting plate 18. The telescopic ring 2 extends or retracts synchronously until the discharge pipe 4 reaches the height suitable for the receiving container. The rotary motor 15 drives the spiral shaft 16 to rotate. The controller 9 controls the feeding speed by adjusting the motor speed. The speed is reduced when dispensing small doses and increased when conveying large batches. After the Chinese herbal medicine pieces enter from the feed pipe 11, they are pushed along the spiral shaft 16 to the conical pipe 3 and finally discharged stably through the discharge pipe 4. During operation, the protective shell 10 provides dust and water protection for the rotary motor 15. The shock-absorbing pads of the fixed base 14 reduce vibration and noise. The fixed plate 8 ensures the stable operation of the controller 9. After feeding is completed, the equipment is turned off. The feeding port height can be reset by reversing the operation of the electric push rod 17, which facilitates subsequent cleaning and maintenance.
