[0019] 2. The rotation of the feeding shaft can push the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the sorting bucket forward to prevent the Chinese herbal medicine pieces from being stuck in the sorting bucket and unable to move further, so as to ensure the efficiency of sorting.

[0020] 3. When the Chinese herbal medicine slices move forward in the sorting bucket, the short sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices pass through the two trapezoidal blocks in each group and enter the short slot, while the long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices will be lifted and moved forward by the rotating conveyor belt, so that the long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices can directly cross the short slot and move to the long slot, reducing the flow at the short slot, so as to reduce the probability of accumulation and blockage of Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0021] 4. When the short segments of Chinese herbal medicine are moved between the two gathering blocks of each group, the gathering blocks are continuously moved inward to push and organize the short segments of Chinese herbal medicine, so that the short segments of Chinese herbal medicine move backward in the center, so that the short segments of Chinese herbal medicine can better align with the short slot and fall down.

[0041] The above scheme is further described below with reference to specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are intended to illustrate the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The implementation conditions used in the examples can be further adjusted according to the conditions of the specific manufacturer. The implementation conditions not specified are generally those used in routine experiments.

[0042] Example 1: A dosing device for producing Chinese herbal medicine slices, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it includes a base frame 1, a cylinder 2, a conveying frame 3, a sorting bucket 4, a feeding roller 5, a snowflake 6, a motor 7 and a large disc 8. The upper part of the base frame 1 is fixedly connected to the front and rear symmetrical cylinder 2, and the upper side of the cylinder 2 is connected to the conveying frame 3. The sorting bucket 4 is fixedly connected between the front and rear conveying frames 3. The sorting bucket 4 is inclined with the rear higher and the front lower. Six equally distributed short slots are opened on the lower side of the sorting bucket 4, and the short slots are connected to the rear conveying frame 3. The front part of the lower side of the sorting bucket 4 is opened with left-right symmetrical long slots, and the long slots are connected to the front conveying frame 3. The feeding roller 5 is rotatably connected in the cylinder 2, and the snowflake 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the feeding roller 5. The upper left part of the base frame 1 is fixedly connected to the motor 7, and the large disc 8 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 7. The right side of the large disc 8 is fixedly connected with symmetrically arranged protrusions, and the protrusions of the large disc 8 rotate to squeeze and fit with the snowflake 6.

[0043] When using this device, the staff puts the segmented Chinese herbal medicine slices into the sorting bucket 4, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices move forward along the inclined sorting bucket 4. The short segments of Chinese herbal medicine slices pass through the short slot and fall into the rear conveying frame 3 through the short slot. The long segments of Chinese herbal medicine slices continue to move forward and fall into the lower conveying frame 3 from the long slot. The staff starts the motor 7, and the output shaft of the motor 7 rotates to drive the large disc 8 to rotate. The rotation of the large disc 8 drives the snowflakes 6 to rotate through the protrusions. The rotation of the snowflakes 6 drives the feeding roller 5 to rotate. The feeding roller 5 rotates to transport the long and short segments sorted out by the conveying frame 3 separately and one by one to the front and rear sides so that the staff can carry out quantity packaging. When the use of this device is completed, the staff can turn off the motor 7. In this way, segmented Chinese herbal medicine slices of different lengths can be sorted and conveyed.

[0044] Example 2: Based on Example 1, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a pushing mechanism, which can push the Chinese herbal medicine slices forward. The pushing mechanism includes a ring gear 9, a rotating rod 10, a first gear 11, a pulley assembly 12 and a feeding shaft 13. The large disc 8 is fixedly connected to the ring gear 9, and the lower part of the sorting bucket 4 is rotatably connected to the front and rear symmetrical rotating rods 10. The left part of the front rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the first gear 11, and the first gear 11 is engaged with the ring gear 9. A pulley assembly 12 is connected between the front and rear rotating rods 10. The pulley assembly 12 consists of two pulleys and a flat belt. The left parts of the front and rear rotating rods 10 are fixedly connected to pulleys, and a flat belt is set between the front and rear pulleys. Three equidistantly distributed feeding shafts 13 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 10, and the feeding shaft 13 is embedded in the lower part of the sorting bucket 4.

[0045] By setting up a pushing mechanism, the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the sorting bucket 4 can be controlled to move forward better, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be prevented from being blocked on the sorting bucket 4 and unable to continue moving for sorting. The specific operation is as follows: the large disc 8 rotates to drive the ring gear 9 to rotate, the rotation of the ring gear 9 drives the first gear 11 to rotate, the rotation of the first gear 11 drives the front rotating rod 10 to rotate, and then the pulley assembly 12 drives the rear rotating rod 10 to rotate, the rotation of the rotating rod 10 drives the feeding shaft 13 to rotate, and the rotation of the feeding shaft 13 can push the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the sorting bucket 4 forward, and prevent the Chinese herbal medicine slices from staying and being blocked on the sorting bucket 4 and unable to continue moving for sorting.

[0046] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a conveying mechanism, which can directly convey long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices to the long trough. The conveying mechanism includes a rotating shaft 14, a transmission disc 15, a trapezoidal block 16, a conveyor belt 17 and a transmission wheel 18. The middle position of the lower part of the sorting bucket 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 14, and the left part of the rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the transmission disc 15. The transmission disc 15 contacts the rear side of the pulley assembly 12. Three groups of equally distributed trapezoidal blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the sorting bucket 4. The trapezoidal blocks 16 are grouped into two. The conveyor belt 17 is mounted on the trapezoidal blocks 16. The front and rear parts of the trapezoidal blocks 16 are rotatably connected to the transmission wheel 18. The transmission wheel 18 contacts the adjacent conveyor belt 17, and the rear transmission wheel 18 is connected to the rotating shaft 14.

[0047] By setting up a conveying mechanism, long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices can be conveyed forward to the long trough, reducing the flow rate at the short trough to reduce the probability of accumulation and blockage of Chinese herbal medicine slices. The specific operation is as follows: the pulley assembly 12 rotates to drive the transmission disc 15 to rotate, the transmission disc 15 rotates to drive the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, the rotating shaft 14 rotates to drive the transmission wheel 18 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 18 rotates to drive the conveyor belt 17 to rotate. When the Chinese herbal medicine slices move forward in the sorting bucket 4, the short sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices pass between the two trapezoidal blocks 16 of each group into the short trough, while the long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices will be lifted and moved forward by the rotating conveyor belt 17, so that the long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices directly cross the short trough and move to the long trough, reducing the flow rate at the short trough to reduce the probability of accumulation and blockage of Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0048] like Figure 1 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, it also includes a sorting mechanism, which can control the centering of short-segment Chinese medicine slices. The sorting mechanism includes a gathering block 19, an upper rack 20, a lower rack 201, a connecting rod 21, a first spring 22, a second gear 23 and an extrusion assembly. The rear position of the lower part of the sorting bucket 4 is slidably connected to three groups of equally spaced gathering blocks 19. The gathering blocks 19 are grouped into two and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right. The lower end of each group of gathering blocks 19 on the right is fixedly connected to the upper rack 20, and the lower end of each group of gathering blocks on the left is fixedly connected to the upper rack 20. The lower ends of the gathering blocks 19 are fixedly connected to lower racks 201, and connecting rods 21 are connected between the three upper racks 20. The connecting rods 21 are slidably connected to the lower side of the sorting bucket 4, and a first spring 22 is connected between the connecting rods 21 and the sorting bucket 4. The lower side of the sorting bucket 4 is rotatably connected to three equally spaced second gears 23, and the second gears 23 are engaged with adjacent upper racks 20 and lower racks 201. An extrusion assembly is provided between the rotating shaft 14 and the upper rack 20, and the extrusion assembly can squeeze the upper rack 20 to move.

[0049] like Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the extrusion assembly includes a contact rod 24, a small disc 25 and an extrusion block 251. The right part of the upper rack 20 on the far right is fixedly connected to the contact rod 24, and the right part of the rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the small disc 25. The small disc 25 is fixedly connected to the extrusion blocks 251 distributed equidistantly. The extrusion blocks 251 are triangular, and the contact rod 24 is L-shaped. The extrusion blocks 251 rotate to squeeze and cooperate with the contact rod 24.

[0050] When the pressing block 251 rotates to contact with the contact rod 24, the pressing block 251 continues to rotate to squeeze the contact rod 24 and move it to the left. The contact rod 24 moves to the left and drives the upper rack 20 on the far right to move to the left, and then drives the other upper racks 20 to move to the left through the connecting rod 21. The first spring 22 is deformed, and the upper rack 20 moves to the left and drives the lower rack 201 to move to the right through the second gear 23. The upper rack 20 and the lower rack 201 move to the left and the left and right sides respectively, which will drive the two gathering blocks 19 of each group to slide toward each other. When the pressing block 251 rotates to disengage from the contact rod 24, Under the action of a spring 22 returning to the original position, the connecting rod 21 drives the upper rack 20 to move to the right, and then drives the lower rack 201 to move to the left and return to the original position through the second gear 23. The two gathering blocks 19 of each group slide back to back. When the next squeezing block 251 rotates to contact the contact rod 24, repeating the above action can make the two gathering blocks 19 of each group move continuously. When the short segment of Chinese herbal medicine moves between the two gathering blocks 19 of each group, the gathering blocks 19 that are gathered together are continuously moved inward to push the short segment of Chinese herbal medicine, so that the short segment of Chinese herbal medicine moves backward in the center, and is better aligned with the short slot and falls down, while the long segment of Chinese herbal medicine moves directly upward along the inclined surface of the rear part of the gathering block 19 to avoid being stuck by the gathering block 19. In this way, the short segment of Chinese herbal medicine can be sorted and moved backward in the center so that the short segment of Chinese herbal medicine can be better aligned with the short slot and falls down.

[0051] like Figure 1 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, it also includes a pushing mechanism, which can push the long section into the long slot. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing plate 26, a second spring 27, a pulling plate 28, a torsion spring 281 and a positioning disc 29. The front of the sorting bucket 4 is slidingly connected to the pushing plate 26, and three equidistantly distributed second springs 27 are connected between the pushing plate 26 and the sorting bucket 4. The left part of the pushing plate 26 is rotatably connected to the pulling plate 28, and a torsion spring 281 is connected between the pulling plate 28 and the pushing plate 26. The left part of the front rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the positioning disc 29, and the positioning disc 29 has two notches. The rear part of the pulling plate 28 is a downward-inclined bending structure, and the positioning disc 29 rotates to squeeze and fit with the pulling plate 28.

[0052] When the long section of Chinese herbal medicine slices moves forward, the long section of Chinese herbal medicine slices may be accumulated in the front part of the sorting bucket 4. By setting a pushing mechanism, the long section of Chinese herbal medicine slices can be pushed into the long trough, making the long section of Chinese herbal medicine slices circulate faster. The specific operation is as follows: when the rotating rod 10 rotates, it will drive the positioning disc 29 to rotate, and the rotation of the positioning disc 29 drives the pulling plate 28 to move backward. The pulling plate 28 moves backward and pulls the pushing plate 26 to slide backward. The second spring 27 is deformed. When the pushing plate 26 slides backward to the limit distance, the positioning disc 29 continues to rotate to squeeze the pulling plate 28 to rotate upward, and the torque The spring 281 is deformed. When the locking disc 29 rotates to no longer clamp the pulling plate 28, the push plate 26 drives the pulling plate 28 to move forward and reset under the action of the second spring 27. At this time, under the action of the torsion spring 281, the pulling plate 28 rotates downward and resets. When the locking disc 29 rotates to clamp the pulling plate 28 again and drives it to move backward, repeating the above action can make the push plate 26 slide back and forth continuously. The sliding of the push plate 26 back and forth can push long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices into the long groove, making the long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices circulate faster.

[0053] like Figure 1 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, it also includes a support mechanism, which can support the long section. The support mechanism includes a mounting block 30, a support plate 31, a clamping block 32 and a third spring 33. The two trapezoidal blocks 16 of each group are fixedly connected to the mounting block 30 on the opposite side. The mounting block 30 is slidably connected to the support plate 31, and the mounting block 30 is slidably connected to the front and rear symmetrical clamping blocks 32. The clamping blocks 32 are clamped into the adjacent support plates 31, and the third spring 33 is connected between the clamping block 32 and the adjacent mounting block 30.

[0054] By setting up a support mechanism, the support area of ​​the conveyor belt 17 for long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices can be expanded, thereby preventing long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices from falling off the conveyor belt 17. The specific operation is as follows: when the conveyor belt 17 is conveying long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices, the long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices can be supported by the support plate 31 to expand the support area of ​​the long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices. At the same time, under the action of the block 32 and the third spring 33, the support plate 31 can slide up and down, thereby being suitable for Chinese herbal medicine slices of different thicknesses, thereby preventing short sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices from being stuck by the support plate 31. In this way, long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices can be supported to expand the support area of ​​long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices, thereby preventing long sections of Chinese herbal medicine slices from falling off the conveyor belt 17.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 15As shown, it also includes an anti-blocking mechanism, which can prevent the long section from stopping in the middle. The anti-blocking mechanism includes a threaded feeding barrel 34 and a vertical rod 35. The middle and lower part of the front of the sorting bucket 4 is rotatably connected to the threaded feeding barrel 34, and the middle part of the lower side of the push plate 26 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 35. The vertical rod 35 is slidably connected to the thread on the threaded feeding barrel 34.

[0056] By setting up an anti-blocking mechanism, the long Chinese herbal medicine slices staying in the middle position can be transported into the long trough to prevent the long Chinese herbal medicine slices from piling up. The specific operation is as follows: the push plate 26 slides back and forth to drive the vertical rod 35 to move back and forth, and the vertical rod 35 moves back and forth to drive the threaded feeding barrel 34 to continuously rotate forward and reverse, thereby moving the long Chinese herbal medicine slices staying in the middle of the two long troughs, so that the long Chinese herbal medicine slices move into the long trough to avoid accumulation.

[0057] Example 2: A method for producing Chinese herbal medicine slices, comprising the following steps:

[0058] S1: Sorting: The segmented Chinese herbal medicine slices are placed in the sorting bucket 4, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices move forward along the inclined sorting bucket 4. The short-segment Chinese herbal medicine slices fall into the rear conveying frame 3 through the short slot, and the long-segment Chinese herbal medicine slices continue to move forward from the long slot into the lower conveying frame 3. The feeding roller 5 rotates and transports the Chinese herbal medicine slices sorted out by the conveying frame 3 to the front and rear sides respectively, so as to carry out quantity packaging;

[0059] S2: Pushing: The feed shaft 13 rotates to push the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the sorting bucket 4 forward to prevent the Chinese herbal medicine pieces from staying blocked in the sorting bucket 4 and being unable to move further, so as to ensure the efficiency of the sorting portion;

[0060] S3: Dispersion: When the Chinese herbal medicine slices move forward in the sorting bucket 4, the short segments of the Chinese herbal medicine slices pass through between the two trapezoidal blocks 16 of each group and enter the short trough, while the long segments of the Chinese herbal medicine slices will be lifted and moved forward by the rotating conveyor belt 17, so that the long segments of the Chinese herbal medicine slices directly cross the short trough and move to the long trough, reducing the flow at the short trough to reduce the probability of accumulation and blockage of the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0061] While the present disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art, having benefit of this disclosure, will appreciate that numerous other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be limited only by the claims appended hereto.
