Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for adding slices of Chinese medicine after decocting them. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine culture has a long history in my country, and Chinese herbal decoctions play an indispensable role in it. They are the earliest and most widely used dosage forms in my country. Because of their unique therapeutic effects, they are widely used in clinical Chinese medicine. The decoction process of traditional Chinese herbal decoctions includes decocting first, adding later, decocting in a package, melting or taking with water. These processes can better dissolve the medicinal properties of various pieces in the prescription and achieve the best therapeutic effect. However, some pieces cannot be soaked or decocted for a long time, making the process of adding later particularly important.

[0003] At present, Chinese medicine slices are added manually during decoction. Due to the diversity of Chinese medicine prescriptions, most prescriptions require different slices to be added during decoction, so only one slice of medicine can be added manually at a time, which is extremely inefficient and prone to errors in adding slices. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a device for adding medicinal pieces after Chinese medicine decoction, which has high efficiency and accurate medicinal piece addition.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The device for putting the medicinal pieces down at the end when decocting Chinese medicine is characterized by: comprising a dumping mechanism for loading a medicine bucket and driving it to flip, a linear transmission unit for transmitting the dumping mechanism to run back and forth, and a decoction pot located on one side of the running direction of the linear transmission unit, the dumping mechanism comprising a base plate for connecting to the linear transmission unit and a lifting rod bracket installed on the base plate, the support rod is supported on the lifting rod bracket, one end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the support rod, and the other end is provided with a lifting rod parallel to the support rod, the medicine bucket is installed on the support rod and the lifting rod; the cylinder seat of the lifting cylinder is hinged to the base plate, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder is hinged to the lifting rod.

[0007] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device for putting the slices of Chinese medicine down at the end during decoction, the linear transmission unit comprises a stepping servo motor and a belt, the belt is tensioned on the driving roller and the driven roller, and the stepping servo motor is transmission-connected to the driving roller.

[0008] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device for putting the medicinal pieces of Chinese medicine in later during decoction, the outer circumferential surface of the active roller is wrapped with a friction-resistant soft material.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device for putting the Chinese medicine slices down at the end during decoction, a tensioning wheel for tightening the belt is provided on one side of the belt.

[0010] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device for putting the medicinal pieces in at the end when decocting traditional Chinese medicine, the bottom surface of the medicine bucket is provided with a circular ring 1 for being sleeved with the support rod and a circular ring 2 for being sleeved with the lifting rod.

[0011] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device for putting the pieces of Chinese medicine in later during decoction, a sensing piece is provided on the pouring mechanism, and a sensor for detecting the moving position of the sensing piece is provided on the side of the decoction pot.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device for putting the medicinal pieces down at the end during the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, a plurality of decoction pots are arranged on one side of the running direction of the linear conveying unit, and correspondingly, the same number of medicine hoppers are installed on the support rod and the lifting rod, and the spacing between the medicine hoppers is consistent with the spacing between the decoction pots.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device for putting the Chinese medicine slices in after decocting, there are multiple rotating arms which are evenly spaced.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant advantages and beneficial effects, which are specifically embodied in the following aspects:

[0015] The device for putting the medicinal pieces back in when decocting traditional Chinese medicines of the present invention is an ingeniously designed double-rod mechanism. First, the lifting rod is lower than the supporting rod, the outlet of the medicine bucket is facing upward, and the medicinal pieces to be put back in the medicine bucket are put into the medicine bucket to prevent the medicinal pieces from falling. The dumping mechanism is driven to the back position (decocting pot position) by the linear transmission unit, and the lifting rod cylinder lifts the lifting rod to a position higher than the supporting rod, so that the outlet of the medicine bucket is facing downward, and the medicinal pieces fall into the decoction pot, thereby completing the process of putting the medicinal pieces back in.

[0016] The post-addition device can complete the post-addition process of multiple prescriptions at one time. Multiple medicine buckets are linked, and multiple medicine buckets correspond to multiple decoction pots to achieve simultaneous post-addition, which greatly improves the efficiency of post-addition of medicinal pieces and reduces the probability of adding errors when adding medicinal pieces during Chinese medicine decoction, significantly improving the safety of Chinese medicine decoction, with high operating efficiency and accurate addition of medicinal pieces.
