Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a mechanism for crushing Chinese medicinal herbs, and in particular to a device for crushing Chinese medicinal herbs installed in an intelligent Chinese medicine cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] As a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine has played a tremendous role in the health of the Chinese people and the prosperity of the nation throughout its thousands of years of history. However, the Chinese medicine industry itself still has many aspects that need improvement and enhancement.

[0003] The processing of medicinal materials is divided into three processes: cleaning and selection, cutting and processing. Among them, cutting mainly uses five types of tools: splitting, slicing, pounding, rolling and planing, which play an important role in the cutting process.

[0004] The current processing of vine-type Chinese medicinal materials mainly uses traditional Chinese medicine guillotine and scissors, which has disadvantages such as manual operation, high labor intensity, low production efficiency and difficulty in automation.

[0005] The following is disclosed in Chinese patent literature: A crushing device for crushing and refining traditional Chinese medicine (CN206763075): The machine body has a feed inlet and a discharge outlet on the left and right ends respectively, a pressure roller on the inner side of the top rod, a first perforated plate below the pressure roller, crushing blades on the crushing shaft, and a blade on the right end of the crushing shaft. Through the cooperation of the crushing blades, the blade and the pressure roller, the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine are crushed and refined.

[0006] This crushing device is not designed to be used with intelligent Chinese medicine cabinets. Furthermore, it does not have the function of selectively crushing small pieces. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convertible discharge platform mechanism with crushing function, which is designed to be installed in a modular form inside an intelligent Chinese medicine cabinet for selectively cutting and crushing Chinese medicinal herbs, thereby ensuring improved metering accuracy.

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convertible discharge platform mechanism with crushing: a convertible discharge platform mechanism with crushing, comprising a convertible cutting device and a cutting assembly; the convertible cutting device is structured as follows: a convertible motor is mounted on a horizontal plate of a fixed base, a reversing gear is mounted on a shaft of the convertible motor extending downward from the horizontal plate, the vertical plate of the fixed base is fixed to the left and right sides of a unit medicine cabinet via a left fixed base and a right fixed base, respectively, the vertical plate of the fixed base is equipped with a normal discharge contact switch and a cutting discharge contact switch for controlling power cut-off when the cutting assembly is driven by the convertible motor to move to the position of the normal discharge bin or the cutting discharge bin, a slide rail is installed between the left fixed base and the right fixed base, and two sliders connected by plates are slidably mounted on the slide rail;

[0009] The cutting assembly structure is as follows: the cutting motor is mounted on the right side of the cutting discharge bin via a cutting motor mount, the cutting motor is connected to a reducer, the reducer output shaft is connected to the cutting tool shaft via a coupling, the cutting tool shaft extends into the cutting discharge bin and is mounted on a bearing, multiple cutting blades are spirally distributed and mounted on the cutting tool shaft, the ordinary discharge bin is fixed to the left side of the cutting discharge bin, and a horizontally arranged rack is fixed to the front of the cutting discharge bin and the ordinary discharge bin; the cutting assembly is fixed on the two sliders mentioned above, and the rack of the cutting assembly meshes with the reversing gear for transmission.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following features and advantages.

[0011] 1. It has a compact structure and occupies little space. It can be quickly installed in the intelligent Chinese medicine cabinet in a modular form. Together with other cabinet equipment, such as stirring device, medicine dispensing device, automatic opening and closing device of rear door, metering push and flipping device, etc., it can automatically complete all operations of adding medicine, cutting and picking medicine and dispensing medicine.

[0012] 2. To ensure improved measurement accuracy

[0013] Medicinal herbs weighing less than 8g are discharged directly from the outlet of the ordinary discharge hopper without any cutting processing. Medicinal herbs weighing 8g or more are cut into smaller pieces before being discharged from the cutting hopper. The finely chopped medicinal herbs ensure that the dispensing machinery, such as the metering, pushing, and turning device, can achieve a metering accuracy of no more than 10g per herb.

[0021] Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown,

[0022] A convertible discharge platform mechanism with crushing function is characterized by comprising a convertible cutting device and a cutting assembly. The convertible cutting device is structured as follows: a convertible motor 612 is mounted on a horizontal plate of a fixed base 613, and a reversing gear 617 is mounted on a convertible motor shaft extending downward from the horizontal plate. The vertical plate of the fixed base 613 is used to fix the left and right sides of a unit medicine cabinet via a left fixed base 609 and a right fixed base 608, respectively. A normal discharge contact switch 610 and a cutting discharge contact switch 611 are mounted on the vertical plate of the fixed base to control power-off when the cutting assembly is driven by the convertible motor to the position of the normal discharge bin 606 or the cutting discharge bin 603. A slide rail 614 is installed between the left and right fixed bases, and two sliders 615 connected by a plate 616 are slidably mounted on the slide rail 614.

[0023] The cutting assembly structure is as follows: the cutting motor is mounted on the right side of the cutting discharge bin via the cutting motor mount 602; the cutting motor 601 is connected to the reducer; the reducer output shaft is connected to the cutting tool shaft 605 via a coupling; the cutting tool shaft extends into the cutting discharge bin 603 and is mounted on the bearing 618; multiple cutting blades 604 are spirally distributed and mounted on the cutting tool shaft; the ordinary discharge bin 606 is fixed to the left side of the cutting discharge bin; and a horizontally arranged rack 607 is fixed to the front of the cutting discharge bin and the ordinary discharge bin; the cutting assembly is fixed on the two sliders 615 mentioned above, and the rack of the cutting assembly meshes with the reversing gear for transmission.

[0024] (see Figure 8 Figure 9 ).

[0025] When the medicinal herb slices are less than 8g, the conversion motor drives the ordinary discharge bin to the feed inlet of the crushing mechanism via the reversing gear, and each medicinal herb slice less than 8g is directly discharged through the ordinary discharge bin; when the medicinal herb slices are greater than or equal to 8g, the conversion motor drives the cutting discharge bin to the feed inlet of the crushing mechanism via the reversing gear, and each medicinal herb slice greater than or equal to 8g is cut into smaller pieces by the cutting component and then discharged through the cutting discharge bin, so as to ensure that each medicinal herb slice achieves a discharge accuracy of no more than 10g.

[0026] 1. The conversion cutting device consists of a conversion motor, a conversion motor mounting base, a conversion gear, a normal discharge port touch switch, a cutting discharge port touch switch, a normal discharge port, a cutting tool holder, a cutting blade, a cutting tool shaft, a conversion rack, a cutting motor, and a cutting motor base.

[0027] 2. Obtaining the medicine:

[0028] Suitable for: large slices or large granules of medicinal herbs.

[0029] 3. Purpose: To ensure the accuracy and speed of dispensing medicine (for example, when 10g of medicinal material slices are needed, if crushing is not used, the dispensing accuracy is related to the weight of a single slice of medicinal material; the larger the weight of a single slice, the greater the error).

[0030] 4. Process: Before the required weight of medicinal herbs reaches 10g (e.g., a total of 10g is needed), the herbs from the dispensing mechanism are connected to the ordinary dispensing port, and the herbs fall directly into the weighing pan of the metering and pushing flipping device. When the weight is about to reach 10g (the rough weighing setting value, e.g., 8g), that is, when the weight of the herbs in the weighing pan is greater than or equal to 8g, the control board controls the switching cutting device to switch the cutting dispensing port to the corresponding position of the dispensing and taking device. At this time, the herbs from the dispensing mechanism are connected to the cutting dispensing port, the cutting motor is activated, and the motor drives the blade to rotate. The herbs from the dispensing mechanism fall into the cutting dispensing port. After being cut by the cutting blade and the cutting blade holder, the large pieces or large particles of medicinal herbs are broken into small particles until the herbs in the weighing pan of the metering and pushing flipping device reach the required weight (10g).

[0031] The types of medicinal materials applicable to this institution are:

[0032] It is suitable for medicinal herbs with a large single piece weight, each weighing more than 1g.

[0033] Objective: To ensure the accuracy and speed of drug dispensing.

[0034] For example, a single slice of a medicinal herb typically weighs around 3g. When 10g of this herb is needed, without crushing it, the weight of the extracted slices is generally between 9g and 12g, making it difficult to achieve the required dispensing precision. Without crushing, the dispensing precision is related to the weight of the single slice; the heavier the single slice, the greater the potential error.

[0035] Control process:

[0036] Taking a medicinal herb slice with a basic weight of approximately 3g as an example, since its basic weight is around 3g, the refined yield value for this herb slice is set to 3g or a multiple of 3g. Now, for this herb slice, we set its refined yield value to 3g. If a prescription requires 10g of this herb slice, when the unit control board receives the instruction from the host computer to dispense 10g, the unit control board calculates the crude yield value to be 7g (10g - 3g = 7g).

[0037] Coarse herbal extraction: The unit control panel controls the conversion motor of the convertible discharge platform mechanism with crusher, which drives the ordinary discharge hopper to the discharge port position of the upper discharge and herbal extraction device via a reversing gear. The unit control panel then controls the upper discharge and herbal extraction device to remove the medicinal materials from the hopper and feed them into the metering and turning pusher. When the weight of the removed medicinal materials reaches or exceeds 7g, the unit control panel immediately stops the upper discharge and herbal extraction device. This completes the coarse herbal extraction process.

[0038] Refining the Herbs: When the weight of the extracted medicinal herbs reaches or exceeds 7g, the unit control panel stops the upper discharge and extraction device from extracting the herbs. Then, the unit control panel controls the switching motor of the convertible discharge platform mechanism with crusher, which drives the cutting discharge bin to the discharge port of the upper discharge and extraction device via a reversing gear. The unit control panel then controls the upper discharge and extraction device to decelerate and extract the medicinal herbs. The herbs enter the cutting discharge bin, where the cutting motor of the convertible discharge platform mechanism with crusher drives the cutting blades to rotate via a reducer and cutting shaft, crushing the herbs. The crushed herbs enter the metering and turning pusher. When the weight of the herbs in the metering and turning pusher reaches or exceeds 10g, the unit control panel immediately stops both the upper discharge and extraction device and the cutting motor of the convertible discharge platform mechanism with crusher from extracting the herbs. This completes the refining process.
