Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medicinal material packaging technology, and more specifically, it relates to a quantitative feeding and packaging device for medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] Medicinal materials are the raw materials used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In China, this especially refers to Chinese medicinal materials, which are unprocessed or unfinished raw materials for Chinese medicine. Due to various reasons such as different historical culture, geographical environment, and social development levels, there are great differences in the degree of development and utilization of Chinese medicinal resources and the scope of application in different regions. This has formed three parts with different connotations, which are relatively independent but interconnected: Chinese medicinal materials, folk medicine, and ethnic medicine. After processing, medicinal materials need to be packaged in quantities for distribution.

[0003] Application number CN202022820476.3 discloses a processing and packaging machine for traditional Chinese medicine herbs, including a worktable. A support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable, and a storage hopper is fixedly connected to the front of the support frame. A stirring rod is installed inside the storage hopper, and a quantitative feeding device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage hopper. A disc is movably fitted inside the quantitative feeding device, and a dispensing groove is opened inside the disc. This processing and packaging machine for traditional Chinese medicine herbs, by installing a stirring rod inside the storage hopper, allows the stirring rod outside the stirring rod to agitate the Chinese medicine herbs inside the storage hopper, preventing the herbs from accumulating inside the storage hopper and being unable to be dispensed. By setting up a quantitative feeding device, a servo motor drives the disc to rotate, moving the dispensing groove to the bottom of the storage hopper, causing the herbs to fall into the dispensing groove. Then, the dispensing groove rotates to the discharge port, and the herbs are poured out into packaging boxes, realizing automatic boxing of the herbs and improving processing efficiency.

[0004] Based on the above patent search and understanding of existing medicinal material packaging applications, the following shortcomings exist: The traditional device's quantitative feeding structure design is not reasonable enough, making it difficult to accurately control the amount of medicinal materials fed each time, which can easily lead to over- or under-packing, affecting packaging quality and subsequent use; The lack of an effective positioning and adjustment mechanism for packaging containers of different sizes makes them difficult to adapt flexibly, thus limiting their scope of use.

This device solves the problems of existing devices having an unreasonable quantitative feeding structure design, making it difficult to accurately control the amount of medicinal materials fed each time, easily resulting in over- or under-packing, affecting packaging quality and subsequent use, and lacking an effective positioning and adjustment mechanism for packaging containers of different sizes, making it unable to flexibly adapt and limiting its application range.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A device for quantitative feeding and packaging of medicinal materials includes a frame; a side frame is fixedly installed on the top left and right sides of the frame, and the inner rear middle of the two side frames is fixedly connected to the two sides of the feeding frame; a bracket is fixedly connected to the front middle of the feeding frame; a motor B is fixedly installed at the bottom middle of the bracket; a pin is fixedly installed above the shaft of the motor B; a crescent-shaped grooved wheel is provided at the top of the pin, and the pin head is located outside the groove of the grooved wheel; a Geneva gear is rotatably connected to the top front of the bracket; the Geneva gear has six grooves on its circumference and six semi-circular grooves on its circumference; the six grooves and six semi-circular grooves of the Geneva gear are staggered; the pin engages with the grooves of the Geneva gear, and the grooved wheel engages with the semi-circular grooves of the Geneva gear; the pin and the grooved wheel alternately engage with the Geneva gear; and an oscillating hopper is fixedly installed at the middle upper position of the two side frames.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a strip groove is provided at the middle of the top of the device frame, and a conveyor is provided on the left and right sides of the top of the device frame, with the two conveyors located on both sides of the strip groove of the device frame.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a motor A is fixedly connected to the front of the device frame, the shaft of the motor A is threaded, and the shaft of the motor A is located directly below the strip groove of the device frame.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a telescopic limiter is slidably connected inside the strip groove of the device frame. A threaded hole is opened at the lower position of the telescopic limiter, and the rotating shaft of motor A is located in the threaded hole of the telescopic limiter. When the telescopic limiter is in the retracted state, the top positions of the two conveyors at the top and bottom of the telescopic limiter are...

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a worktable is fixedly installed at the top of the Geneva gear, and six quantitative tubes are fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the worktable. The six quantitative tubes are respectively located outside the six semicircular grooves of the Geneva gear. A limiting plate is sleeved above the outer side of the six quantitative tubes, and the top of the six quantitative tubes is flush with the top of the limiting plate.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper rear end of the bracket is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the ring frame, the Geneva gear is located in the middle of the ring frame, the feeding port is provided at the upper front end of the ring frame, the feeding port of the ring frame is located directly below the frontmost quantitative tube, and the bottom of the six quantitative tubes are attached to the top of the ring frame, and the vibrating hopper is located directly above the rearmost quantitative tube.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0025] Example: As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown: This utility model provides a quantitative feeding and packaging device for medicinal materials, including a device frame 1; a side frame 104 is fixedly installed on the top left and right sides of the device frame 1, and the inner rear middle position of the two side frames 104 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the feeding frame 2; a bracket 201 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the front end of the feeding frame 2; a motor B203 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the bottom of the bracket 201; a pin frame 204 is fixedly installed above the rotating shaft of the motor B203; a crescent-shaped grooved wheel 205 is provided at the top position of the pin frame 204, and the pin head of the pin frame 204 is located at the grooved wheel 205. At the outer side of the groove 05, a Geneva gear 206 is rotatably connected to the top front of the bracket 201. The Geneva gear 206 has six grooves on its circumference and six semi-circular slots on its circumference. The six grooves and six semi-circular slots of the Geneva gear 206 are staggered. The pin 204 engages with the grooves of the Geneva gear 206, and the grooved wheel 205 engages with the semi-circular slots of the Geneva gear 206. The pin 204 and the grooved wheel 205 alternately engage the Geneva gear 206. An oscillating hopper 105 is fixedly installed at the upper middle position of the two side frames 104.

[0026] The device frame 1 has a strip groove at the top center, and a conveyor 101 is installed on the left and right sides of the top of the device frame 1. The two conveyors 101 are located on both sides of the strip groove of the device frame 1. A motor A102 is fixedly connected to the front of the device frame 1. The shaft of the motor A102 is threaded and is located directly below the strip groove of the device frame 1. A telescopic limiter 103 is slidably connected inside the strip groove of the device frame 1. A threaded hole is opened at the lower front of the telescopic limiter 103, and the shaft of the motor A102 is located in the threaded hole of the telescopic limiter 103. When the telescopic limiter 103 is in the retracted state, the top of the two conveyors 101 at the top and bottom of the telescopic limiter 103 is closed.

[0027] The Geneva gear 206 has a workbench 207 fixedly installed on its top, and six metering tubes 208 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the workbench 207. The six metering tubes 208 are located on the outer side of the six semicircular grooves of the Geneva gear 206. The upper rear end of the support 201 is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the ring frame 202. The Geneva gear 206 is located in the middle of the ring frame 202. A feeding port is opened at the front top of the ring frame 202. The feeding port of the ring frame 202 is located directly below the foremost metering tube 208, and the bottom of the six metering tubes 208 is attached to the top of the ring frame 202. The vibrating hopper 105 is located directly above the last metering tube 208.

[0028] Among them, the upper outer side of the six quantitative tubes 208 is fitted with a limiting plate 209, and the top of the six quantitative tubes 208 is flush with the top of the limiting plate 209. When the six quantitative tubes 208 are intermittently rotated to adjust their positions, the limiting plate 209 limits the bottom discharge position of the oscillating hopper 105 to prevent material leakage from the bottom of the oscillating hopper 105.

[0029] When using: First, based on the size and position of the packaging box, start motor A102 to adjust the position of telescopic limiter 103 in the strip groove so that when the rear end of the packaging box is in contact with the front upper position of telescopic limiter 103, the feeding port of the circular frame 202 is located directly above the packaging box. Through the above, different models of packaging containers can be positioned.

[0030] When it is necessary to carry out the feeding and packaging process, the medicinal materials to be packaged are placed into the vibrating hopper 105. When one of the metering tubes 208 rotates to the position below the vibrating hopper 105, the vibrating hopper 105 starts to vibrate, so that the medicinal materials fall evenly into the interior of the metering tube 208. Next, start motor B203. Motor B203 drives pin frame 204 and grooved wheel 205 to rotate. Pin frame 204 and grooved wheel 205 alternately mesh with Geneva gear 206, causing Geneva gear 206 to rotate intermittently, thereby driving worktable 207 and six quantitative tubes 208 to rotate synchronously. When the fully loaded metering tube 208 rotates to directly above the feeding port of the ring frame 202, the medicinal materials inside the metering tube 208 are transferred into the packaging box through the feeding port of the ring frame 202, completing the metered filling process. As the Geneva gear 206 continues to rotate, the metering tube 208 filled with medicinal materials leaves the feeding port position. When the next metering tube 208 rotates to directly above the feeding port, the above feeding process is repeated.

[0031] Although this application has been described with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this application as defined by the appended claims. While this specification contains details of many specific implementations, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular embodiments. The scope of this application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents, and is not limited to the embodiments described above.
