The uniformity of the specification type of the decoction pieces will be beneficial to the uniformity of their quality and can better ensure clinical efficacy. However, due to the relatively wide or inconsistent specification range of traditional decoction pieces, the quality is non-uniform, the dispensing is inconvenient, and the decocting is unstable. Taking Fructus Aurantii Immaturus as an example, the fruits of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus vary in size due to factors such as variety, origin, and harvesting time.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of this application; therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0026] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0027] This embodiment provides a feasible medicinal herb screening and cutting device. In this device, the bottom surface of the screening channel of the screening mechanism is set at a preset angle, and a first screening hole and a second screening hole with gradually increasing diameter are sequentially arranged along the inclined direction. When the medicinal herb cut into thin slices moves in the screening channel, it is screened by the first and second screening holes respectively, thereby screening the medicinal herb into thin slices of different sizes. The first and second medicinal herbs are then cut by the first and second cutting mechanisms respectively. Thus, the medicinal herbs are automatically screened and classified according to their different sizes before cutting. Then, the screened slices of medicinal herbs are uniformly cut by the corresponding cutting mechanisms to ensure that medicinal herbs of the same size are cut to the same size, resulting in medicinal herb blocks with uniform shape and size.

[0028] This type of medicinal material screening and cutting device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is an overall schematic diagram of a medicinal herb screening and cutting device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a medicinal herb screening and cutting device provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, the medicinal herb screening and cutting device includes a screening mechanism and a cutting mechanism.

[0029] The screening mechanism includes a screening channel 10. The bottom surface 11 of the screening channel 10 is set at a preset angle, so that the medicinal materials that have been cut into thin slices and enter the screening channel 10 through the feed inlet slide along the bottom surface 11 toward the discharge outlet of the screening channel 10. The bottom surface 11 is provided with screening holes 12 of a preset diameter. The screening holes 12 include a first screening hole 121 and a second screening hole 122. The diameter of the first screening hole 121 is a first preset value, and the diameter of the second screening hole 122 is a second preset value that is greater than the first preset value. The first screening hole 121 and the second screening hole 122 are arranged sequentially along the sliding direction of the medicinal materials, and the first screening hole 121 is located before the second screening hole 122, so that the first medicinal materials with an outer diameter equal to or less than the first preset value fall into the first screening hole 121, and the second medicinal materials with an outer diameter greater than the first preset value and less than or equal to the second preset value fall into the second screening hole 122. In this embodiment, the first and second medicinal materials mainly refer to medicinal materials that have been cut into thin slices with a difference in diameter. They are generally the same kind of medicinal material, such as bitter orange peel.

[0030] The cutting mechanism includes a first cutting mechanism 20 and a second cutting mechanism 30; a first screening hole 121 leads to the first cutting mechanism 20, and a second screening hole 122 leads to the second cutting mechanism 30; the first cutting mechanism 20 cuts the first medicinal material, and the second cutting mechanism 30 cuts the second medicinal material.

[0031] The screening mechanism is used to screen medicinal materials. The screening mechanism has a screening channel 10 through which the medicinal materials pass, and the screening channel 10 can be composed of multiple separate channels or a single long channel. Furthermore, the screening channel 10 can be a rectangular channel or a channel of other shapes.

[0032] The screening channel 10 has an inlet and an outlet. The bottom surface 11 of the screening channel 10 is set as an inclined surface with a preset angle, and the inclination direction is from the inlet to the outlet. The first screening hole 121 and the second screening hole 122 are arranged sequentially along the sliding direction of the medicinal material, that is, the first screening hole 121 is close to the inlet and the second screening hole 122 is close to the outlet, so that the medicinal material is first screened by the first screening hole 121 and then screened by the second screening hole 122.

[0033] After the medicinal materials enter the screening channel 10 through the inlet, they slide along the bottom surface 11 of the screening channel 10 towards the outlet. During the sliding process, medicinal materials with an outer diameter less than or equal to the first screening hole 121 fall into the first screening hole 121 to complete the first screening, thereby screening out the first medicinal materials with an outer diameter smaller than the first screening hole 121 from all the medicinal materials. After the first screening hole 121 screens out the first medicinal materials, the remaining medicinal materials slide along the screening channel 10 and are further screened by the second screening hole 122, so that medicinal materials with an outer diameter greater than the first preset value and an outer diameter less than or equal to the second preset value fall into the second screening hole 122, thereby screening out the second medicinal materials. The medicinal materials can be slices of medicinal materials such as Citrus aurantium peel, or other medicinal materials, and there are no restrictions here.

[0034] When filter channel 10 is a single long channel, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of a medicinal herb screening and cutting device provided in this application, showing that the screening channel is a single long channel. The first screening hole 121 and the second screening hole 122 are arranged sequentially on the bottom surface 11 along the sliding direction of the medicinal herb. Furthermore, multiple first screening holes 121 and second screening holes 122 can be provided, and the spacing between each screening hole 12 can be set as needed to ensure that the medicinal herb is adequately screened.

[0035] When the screening channel 10 is composed of multiple separate channels, and these separate channels are connected by a conveying device 13, the medicinal materials can be screened sequentially. The specific implementation method is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the first screening channel of a medicinal herb screening and cutting device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the second screening channel of a medicinal material screening and cutting device provided in this application embodiment. The screening channel 10 includes a first screening channel 101 and a second screening channel 102; the first bottom surface 111 of the first screening channel 101 and the second bottom surface 112 of the second screening channel 102 are both set with a preset inclination angle, wherein the preset inclination angle of the first bottom surface 111 and the preset inclination angle of the second bottom surface 112 can be the same or different; a first screening hole 121 is disposed on the first bottom surface 111 of the first screening channel 101, and a second screening hole 122 is disposed on the second bottom surface 112 of the second screening channel 102; a conveying device 13 connects the first outlet of the first screening channel 101 to the second inlet of the second screening channel 102 to convey the medicinal material discharged from the first outlet to the second screening channel 102.

[0036] In this embodiment, the structures of the first screening channel 101 and the second screening channel 102 are similar, but the first bottom surface 111 of the first screening channel 101 is only provided with a first screening hole 121 with a diameter of a first preset value, and the second bottom surface 112 of the second screening channel 102 is only provided with a second screening hole 122 with a diameter of a second preset value, so that the screening of the first medicinal material is completed in the first screening channel 101 and the screening of the second medicinal material is completed in the second screening channel 102.

[0037] The conveying device 13 connects the first discharge port to the second inlet of the second screening channel 102, thereby conveying the medicinal materials discharged from the first discharge port to the second screening channel 102 for screening. In a specific embodiment, the conveying device 13 can be a motor-driven conveyor belt or a slide rail with a height difference between its two ends, the end connected to the first discharge port being higher than the end connected to the second inlet, thus allowing the medicinal materials to slide along the slide rail to the second inlet. Of course, the conveying device 13 can also be configured with other forms of conveying structure, which are not limited here.

[0038] Furthermore, to further ensure the screening effect of medicinal materials, the conveying device 13 can be used to circulate the medicinal materials through multiple screening cycles in a screening channel 10. Taking the first screening channel 101 as an example, a feasible implementation is that the conveying device 13 connects the first outlet of the first screening channel 101 to the first inlet of the first screening channel 101; after the medicinal materials are repeatedly screened a preset number of times in the first screening channel 101, the conveying device 13 switches to connect the first outlet of the first screening channel 101 to the second inlet of the second screening channel 102. That is to say, the connection position of the conveying device 13 can be changed, so that in addition to allowing the medicinal materials to enter the second screening channel 102 from the first screening channel 101, the medicinal materials can also be circulated and screened in the first screening channel 101, thereby repeatedly screening the medicinal materials and improving the screening effect.

[0039] In a specific implementation, the conveying device 13 can be configured as a position-adjustable structure, allowing the conveying device 13 to switch between a first position and a second position. When the conveying device 13 is in the first position, the conveying device 13 connects the first outlet of the first screening channel 101 to the second inlet of the second screening channel 102. When the conveying device 13 is in the second position, the conveying device 13 connects the first outlet of the first screening channel 101 to the active transmission device, and the active transmission device transmits the medicinal materials conveyed by the conveying device 13 to the inlet of the first screening channel 101.

[0040] Taking a conveyor belt with a slide rail as the conveying device 13 and an electrically driven active transmission device as an example: When the slide rail is in the first position, the first discharge port of the first screening channel 101 is connected to the second inlet of the second screening channel 102. When the slide rail is in the second position, the first discharge port of the first screening channel 101 is connected to the conveyor belt, so that the medicinal materials discharged from the first discharge port slide through the slide rail to the conveyor belt, and then the conveyor belt returns the medicinal materials to the first inlet of the first screening channel 101, thereby allowing the medicinal materials to be screened multiple times in the first screening channel 101.

[0041] Similarly, the screening process of the second screening channel 102 can be made into multiple cyclic screenings. Specifically, a separate conveying device 13 can be provided to connect the second discharge port of the second screening channel 102 to the second feed port of the second screening channel 102, so that the second screening channel 102 can repeatedly screen the medicinal materials a preset number of times.

[0042] Of course, in specific implementation, the conveying device 13 can be configured as other forms of cyclic conveying structure. The specific implementation method can be determined according to specific needs and is not limited here.

[0043] The screening holes 12 provided on the bottom plate of the screening channel 10 are preferably circular, and the first screening hole 121 and the second screening hole 122 can be multiple, and can be set as multiple screening holes 12 arranged in a single row or multiple screening holes 12 arranged in multiple rows according to the screening channel 10 and the size of the medicinal material.

[0044] Furthermore, a structure can be set in the medicinal material screening and cutting device to gather the medicinal materials screened by multiple first screening holes 121 or multiple second screening holes 122 together, so as to gather the screened medicinal materials and put them into the cutting device for cutting.

[0045] In one feasible implementation, there are multiple first screening holes 121, which lead to a sieve opening 15. The sieve opening 15 is directly opposite the entrance of the cutting mechanism, so that the first medicinal material falling from the multiple first screening holes 121 falls into the first cutting mechanism 20. There are multiple second screening holes 122, which lead to the sieve opening 15. The sieve opening 15 is directly opposite the entrance of the cutting mechanism, so that the second medicinal material falling from the multiple second screening holes 122 falls into the second cutting mechanism 30.

[0046] The channels leading from the multiple first screening holes 121 to the sieve opening 15 are preferably funnel-shaped, so that the first medicinal materials from all the first screening holes 121 automatically fall into the sieve opening 15 under the action of gravity, and then the first medicinal materials fall orderly from the sieve opening 15 into the first cutting mechanism 20. Similarly, the channels leading from the multiple second screening holes 122 to the sieve opening 15 are also preferably funnel-shaped, so that the second medicinal materials from all the second screening holes 122 automatically fall into the sieve opening 15 under the action of gravity, and then the second medicinal materials fall orderly from the sieve opening 15 into the second cutting mechanism 30.

[0047] In addition, to further improve the screening effect, a vibrating element can be installed on the screening mechanism. The vibrating element is connected to the screening channel 10 and applies vibration force to the screening channel 10, causing the bottom surface 11 of the screening channel 10 to vibrate, thereby improving the screening effect of the screening channel 10.

[0048] The cutting mechanism is used to cut the medicinal materials. The first screening hole 121 leads to the first cutting mechanism 20, allowing the first medicinal material screened through the first screening hole 121 to enter the cutting mechanism for uniform cutting. The second screening hole 122 leads to the second cutting mechanism 30, allowing the second medicinal material screened through the second screening hole 122 to enter the cutting mechanism for uniform cutting.

[0049] Furthermore, it is important to understand that the cutting dimensions of the first cutting mechanism 20 correspond to the dimensions of the first medicinal material. Specifically, the first cutting mechanism 20 is used to cut the first medicinal material with an outer diameter equal to or smaller than a first preset value, and cuts the first medicinal material into a first preset size and a first preset shape. Similarly, the cutting dimensions of the second cutting mechanism 30 correspond to the dimensions of the second medicinal material. Specifically, the second cutting mechanism 30 is used to cut the second medicinal material with an outer diameter equal to or smaller than a second preset value, and cuts the second medicinal material into a second preset size and a second preset shape. In other words, the structural principles of the first cutting mechanism 20 and the second cutting mechanism 30 are the same, but the range of medicinal material sizes that can be cut by the first cutting mechanism 20 and the second cutting mechanism 30 are different.

[0050] There are many ways to specifically configure the first cutting mechanism 20 and the second cutting mechanism 30. One feasible implementation is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the first cutting mechanism 20 includes: a first holding container 21 and a first cutting tool 22; the first holding container 21 can reciprocate relative to the first cutting tool 22, so that the first holding container 21 is penetrated and cut by the first cutting tool 22, thereby cutting the first medicinal material contained in the first holding container 21; and / or, the second cutting mechanism 30 includes: a second holding container 31 and a second cutting tool 32; the second holding container 31 can reciprocate relative to the second cutting tool 32, so that the second holding container 31 is penetrated and cut by the second cutting tool 32, thereby cutting the second medicinal material contained in the second holding container 31.

[0051] In this configuration, the dimensions of the first holding container 21 and the first cutter 22 correspond to a first preset value, and the dimensions of the second holding container 31 and the second cutter 32 correspond to a second preset value. Specifically, the diameter of the first holding container 21 can be set to the first preset value, allowing the first medicinal material to be precisely loaded into the first holding container 21. The size of the first cutter 22 is also set to the first preset value, ensuring that when the first holding container 21 moves relative to the first cutter 22, the medicinal material in the first holding container 21 is precisely cut through by the first cutter 22. Similarly, the diameter of the second holding container 31 can be set to the second preset value, allowing the second medicinal material to be precisely loaded into the second holding container 31. The size of the second cutter 32 is also set to the second preset value, ensuring that when the second holding container 31 moves relative to the second cutter 32, the medicinal material in the second holding container 31 is precisely cut through by the second cutter 32.

[0052] There are many specific implementations of the first cutting tool 22 and the second cutting tool 32. Taking the first cutting tool 22 as an example, one feasible implementation is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first blade of a medicinal material screening and cutting device provided in an embodiment of this application. The first blade 22 has an annular blade 221 and multiple cutting blades 222 surrounding the annular blade 221. The blades of the annular blade 221 and the multiple cutting blades 222 face one end of the blade body, so that the first medicinal material can be divided into the inner pulp and the outer shell by the annular blade 221, and the outer shell can be divided into multiple pieces by the cutting blades 222. The dimensions of the annular blade 221 and the cutting blades 222 of the first blade 22 correspond to a first preset value.

[0053] Furthermore, the blade 223 of the first cutter 22 can be configured as a tube with an internal discharge channel, and the annular blade 221 is disposed at the first end of the blade 223. Multiple cutting blades 222 are arranged circumferentially near the first end of the blade 223, and the cutting blades 222 extend radially along the blade 223. When the first medicinal material is divided into the inner pulp and the outer shell of the first medicinal material by the annular blade 221, the inner pulp of the first medicinal material falls into the discharge channel.

[0054] The arrangement of the second cutter 32 is analogous to that of the first cutter 22, and will not be elaborated further here. Furthermore, the cutting edges 222 of the first cutter 22 and the second cutter 32 are preferably arranged evenly around the blade body 223.

[0055] In this embodiment, the dimensions of the annular blade 221 and the cutting blade 222 of the first cutter 22 and the second cutter 32 can be set according to the requirements so that the first cutter 22 cuts the first medicinal material into an ideal size corresponding to the first preset value, and the second cutter 32 cuts the second medicinal material into an ideal size corresponding to the second preset value.

[0056] Taking sliced ​​immature bitter orange peel as an example, if the size of all the slices to be cut is between 3 cm and 5 cm, the first preset value can be set to 4 cm and the second preset value can be set to 5 cm. This allows the first screening hole 121 to filter out slices of 3 cm to 4 cm in size, and the second screening hole 122 to filter out slices of 4 cm to 5 cm in size. Furthermore, the diameter of the first holding container 21 is set to 3 cm to hold the first medicinal material, and the diameter of the second holding container 31 is set to 5 cm to hold the second medicinal material. If the inner diameter of the 3 cm to 4 cm slices of immature bitter orange peel is 1 to 2 cm, the diameter of the annular blade 221 of the first cutter 22 is set to 2 cm, and the blade length of the cutting blade 222 is set to 1 cm. If the inner diameter of the 4-5 cm long Citrus aurantium slices is 2-3 cm, then the diameter of the annular blade 221 of the second knife 32 is set to 3 cm, and the blade length of the cutting blade 222 is set to 1 cm. Furthermore, the number of cutting blades 222 of the first knife 22 can be set to 4, thereby cutting the outer shell of the first medicinal material into petals at a 90-degree angle. Alternatively, the number of cutting blades 222 of the second knife 32 can be set to 6, thereby cutting the outer shell of the second medicinal material into petals at a 60-degree angle, or any other number of cutting blades 222. It should be understood that this example is only an illustrative illustration of the implementation method; in actual implementation, the implementation method can be adapted to specific needs.

[0057] In addition, the first and second cutting tools can be configured in more ways, such as setting movable baffles at the inlet and outlet of the material container, driving the material container or the cutting tool through a power component to move the material container and the cutting tool relative to each other, and setting an adjustment mechanism to adjust the angle of the medicinal material entering the cutting mechanism, etc. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0058] Furthermore, in addition to the structure provided above where the material container and the cutter move relative to each other to cut the medicinal material, the first cutting mechanism 20 and the second cutting mechanism 30 can also be configured with other structures. For example, when the medicinal material is a slice, the slice can be laid on a preset position on the cutting plate, and the cutter can be controlled by the power component to cut the slice at the preset position, thereby cutting the slice into a preset size and preset shape.

[0059] Furthermore, for medicinal materials with a wider size range, a third screening hole with a diameter greater than the second preset value can be added based on the above embodiments, and a third cutting mechanism can be provided to connect the third screening hole to the third cutting mechanism. More screening holes and cutting mechanisms can also be provided, with specific structures similar to the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0060] In addition, automatic conveying devices can be installed at the inlet and outlet of the screening channel to automatically add medicinal materials and automatically transport away the remaining medicinal materials after screening.

[0061] In the medicinal material screening and cutting device provided in the above embodiment, the bottom surface of the screening channel of the screening mechanism is set at a preset inclination angle, and a first screening hole and a second screening hole with gradually increasing diameter are arranged in sequence along the inclination direction. When the medicinal material moves in the screening channel, the medicinal material is screened by the first screening hole and the second screening hole respectively, thereby screening the medicinal material into first medicinal material and second medicinal material of different sizes, and then the first medicinal material and the second medicinal material are cut by the first cutting mechanism and the second cutting mechanism respectively. Thus, the medicinal material is automatically screened and classified according to its size before cutting, and then the screened medicinal material is uniformly cut by the corresponding cutting mechanism, thereby cutting medicinal material of the same size into the same size, so that the shape and size of the cut medicinal material blocks are uniform, thereby improving the accuracy and uniformity of medicinal material cutting.

[0062] The first embodiment above describes the medicinal material screening and cutting device. Correspondingly, the second embodiment below provides a screening and cutting device for Citrus aurantium slices that corresponds to the medicinal material screening and cutting device in the first embodiment above, as detailed below.

[0063] The trifoliate orange peel screening and cutting device provided in this embodiment includes a screening mechanism and a cutting mechanism.

[0064] The screening mechanism includes a screening channel; the bottom surface of the screening channel is set at a preset angle so that the trifoliate orange peel slices entering the screening channel through the inlet slide along the bottom surface to the outlet of the screening channel.

[0065] The bottom surface is provided with a screening hole of a preset diameter; the screening hole includes a first screening hole and a second screening hole; the diameter of the first screening hole is a first preset value, and the diameter of the second screening hole is a second preset value that is greater than the first preset value; the first screening hole and the second screening hole are arranged sequentially along the sliding direction of the bitter orange peel slices, and the first screening hole is located before the second screening hole, so that the first bitter orange peel slices with an outer diameter equal to or less than the first preset value fall into the first screening hole, and the second bitter orange peel slices with an outer diameter greater than the first preset value and less than or equal to the second preset value fall into the second screening hole.

[0066] The cutting mechanism includes a first cutting mechanism and a second cutting mechanism; a first screening hole leads to the first cutting mechanism, and a second screening hole leads to the second cutting mechanism; the first cutting mechanism cuts the first slice of bitter orange peel, and the second cutting mechanism cuts the second slice of bitter orange peel.

[0067] The specific implementation of the citrus peel screening and cutting device in this embodiment is analogous to the medicinal material screening and cutting device in the first embodiment described above. For details, please refer to the relevant content of the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] In the bitter orange peel screening and cutting device of this embodiment, the bottom surface of the screening channel of the screening mechanism is set at a preset inclination angle, and a first screening hole and a second screening hole with gradually increasing diameter are arranged in sequence along the inclination direction. When the bitter orange peel moves in the screening channel, the bitter orange peel will be screened by the first screening hole and the second screening hole respectively, thereby screening the bitter orange peel into first bitter orange peel and second bitter orange peel of different sizes. The first bitter orange peel and the second bitter orange peel are then cut by the first cutting mechanism and the second cutting mechanism respectively. Thus, the bitter orange peel is automatically screened and classified according to its size before the bitter orange peel is cut. Then, the screened bitter orange peel is uniformly cut by the corresponding cutting mechanism, thereby cutting bitter orange peel of the same size and shape into uniform pieces, thus improving the accuracy and uniformity of the bitter orange peel cutting.

[0069] It should be noted that although several structures, components, or units for implementing the relevant functions have been mentioned in the detailed description above, this division is not mandatory. In fact, according to the specific embodiments of this application, the features and functions of two or more structures, components, or units described above can be embodied in one structure, component, or unit.
