Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, and in particular to a metering device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Art
[0002] Chinese herbal medicine slices are Chinese medicinal materials that have been processed and prepared according to the theories and methods of traditional Chinese medicine and can be directly used in clinical Chinese medicine. This concept shows that there is no absolute boundary between Chinese medicinal materials and Chinese herbal medicine slices. Chinese herbal medicine slices include some Chinese herbal medicine slices processed at the place of origin, raw medicinal material slices, and slices that have been cut and prepared.
[0003] However, the currently used measuring devices for Chinese herbal medicines have a single function and can only perform a single measuring operation. The workers are required to manually place the herbal medicines on the surface of the measuring device for measuring. The degree of automation is low and the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. After measuring, the workers are required to manually put the herbal medicines into medicine bottles, which increases the workload of the workers and reduces their work efficiency.
[0004] In view of this, research and improvement are carried out on the existing problems, and a metering device for Chinese herbal medicines is provided. Through the use of the metering device for Chinese herbal medicines, the degree of automation of the device is greatly improved. The measured herbal medicines can be filled while the metering operation is completed, which reduces the amount of manual medication operations by the staff, effectively improves work efficiency, reduces the work intensity of the staff, and is more convenient to use.
