[0028] In summary, the use of this automatic dispensing and packaging line for traditional Chinese medicine has realized the automatic dispensing and packaging of traditional Chinese medicine, which effectively improves work efficiency, reduces labor, and reduces labor intensity and labor costs while ensuring hygiene.

[0029] Since the medicine box clamping mechanism includes a supporting frame, the supporting frame is provided with two connecting seats, each connecting seat is provided with a clamping part for clamping the medicine box, and the clamping part protrudes from the upper surface of the supporting frame; the two connecting seats are respectively driven by a guide drive device and move relative to each other; one of the relatively arranged supporting frames is provided with a flipping mechanism on both sides, so that in use, when the medicine box (medicine box) is conveyed from the medicine box conveying device, the guide drive device drives the connecting seat to move, and during the movement of the connecting seat, the clamping work of the bottom base of the medicine box is completed by the two clamping parts, and then the supporting frame is driven to rotate by the flipping mechanism, thereby completing the flipping and pouring of the medicine box, and then the connecting seat moves in the opposite direction, the clamping part is separated from the medicine box, and the medicine box is moved away, so as to carry out the pouring work of the next medicine box. The structure is simple and the clamping reliability of the medicine box is high, which lays a foundation for the mechanized automatic packaging of matched traditional Chinese medicines; because the two connecting seats are respectively driven by a guide drive device and move relative to each other, the two connecting seats can move simultaneously during work, thereby realizing the speed of clamping or releasing the medicine box, which helps to improve the production rhythm and production efficiency.

The lead screw nut is installed together with the connecting seat, and the lead screw is driven by a power element, thereby driving the lead screw to rotate through the power element. Afterwards, the reciprocating linear movement of the connecting seat is realized through the cooperation of the lead screw and the lead screw nut. During the movement, it is guided by the guide shaft, has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and has high driving accuracy.

[0035] The medicine box transfer device includes a vertical sliding mechanism arranged on the second frame and along the Z axis, the vertical sliding mechanism is provided with a transverse sliding mechanism arranged along the X axis, and the transverse sliding mechanism is provided with a flipping mechanism; the vertical sliding mechanism includes a vertical guide rail arranged on the second frame, a first slide driven by a first power device is slidably installed on the vertical guide rail, and the first slide is provided with a transverse sliding mechanism; the transverse sliding mechanism includes a transverse guide rail arranged on the first slide and located on both sides of the packaging silo, a second slide driven by a second power device is slidably installed on the transverse guide rail, and the second slide is provided with a flipping mechanism, so that the movement of the medicine box clamping mechanism and the medicine boxes thereon between the packaging silo and the medicine box conveying device is realized through the cooperation of the guide rails (including the vertical guide rails and the transverse guide rails) and the slides (including the first slide and the second slide), the structure is simple, easy to implement, and convenient to disassemble and maintain.

[0036] The medicine box return device includes a return conveyor frame provided with a return conveyor belt, one end of the return conveyor belt is arranged on the second frame and is arranged corresponding to the packaging material bin, and a gap is provided between the return conveyor belt and the packaging material bin for the transverse guide rail to pass through, and the other end of the return conveyor belt extends to the initial end of the medicine box conveying device; the second frame is provided with two horizontal guide rails arranged along the Y axis, the horizontal guide rails are higher than the packaging material bin, and sliders driven by the first linear drive element are horizontally slidably installed on the two horizontal guide rails, and the two sliders are provided with deflection drive elements, and the two deflection drive elements are provided with receiving plates; the end of the return conveyor frame close to the packaging material bin is hinged with a connecting plate A second linear drive element is provided between the connecting plate and the return conveyor frame, so that after the medicine box is turned over and the medicine is poured out, the turned medicine box is located above the setting position of the receiving plate, and then the first linear drive element drives the slider to move and makes the receiving plate located below the medicine box, and then the medicine box clamping mechanism releases the medicine box and falls onto the receiving plate, and then the receiving plate is driven by the deflection drive element to rotate an angle, and the second linear drive element drives the connecting plate to move and connect with the receiving plate. At this time, the medicine box slides onto the return conveyor belt and is transported to the initial end of the medicine box conveying device through the return conveyor belt. The structure is simple and automatic recovery of the medicine box is realized.

[0037] Since the horizontal guide rail, the vertical guide rail and the transverse guide rail are all provided with limit blocks, the slider, the first slide seat and the second slide seat are all provided with stops, the stops are slidably installed on the horizontal guide rail, the vertical guide rail or the transverse guide rail, and the stops are provided with proximity switches, so that the movement displacement of the first slide seat on the vertical guide rail, the movement displacement of the second slide seat on the transverse guide rail, and the movement displacement of the slider on the horizontal guide rail are limited by the cooperation of the limit blocks and the stops.
