[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent integrated device for Chinese medicine identification and weighing, including a chassis 1. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a four-bracket 31 is rotatably provided on the rear side wall of the chassis 1, and a servo motor 3 is installed on the rear side of the chassis 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 rotates through the rear side wall of the chassis 1 and is fixedly connected to the middle of the four-bracket 31. When the servo motor 3 is started, its output shaft rotates, which drives the four-bracket 31 to rotate accordingly. Figure 4 As shown, the four fork ends of the four-branch bracket 31 are each provided with a guide portion 32, and a weighing plate 33 with a guide rod 331 is provided on the guide portion 32, and the guide rod 331 on the weighing plate 33 slides through the corresponding guide portion 32. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top of the case 1 is provided with an opening, and the servo motor 3 is used to drive the four-part bracket 31 to rotate. When the weighing pan 33 on the four-part bracket 31 rotates to the opening position of the case 1, the medicinal materials can be weighed. Figure 4As shown, a pressure sensor 34 is also installed in the chassis 1. A trigger rod 341 is slidably provided on the pressure sensor 34, and the trigger rod 341 is vertically arranged to support the weighing pan 33 rotated to the opening position of the chassis 1 so that it passes through the opening. After placing medicinal materials on the weighing pan 33, the trigger rod 341 is pressed down under the action of the gravity of the medicinal materials, and the pressure sensor 34 is triggered. The weight of the medicinal materials is calculated by the value sensed by the pressure sensor 34.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a folding frame 2 is fixedly arranged on the top of the chassis 1, and a central control module 22 is installed on the folding frame 2. The central control module 22 has a display screen, and the central control module 22 is used in conjunction with a pressure sensor 34. The pressure sensor 34 sends a signal to the central control module 22, and the weight of the medicinal material will be displayed on the display screen of the central control module 22. Figure 1 As shown, an identification camera 21 is also installed on the folding frame 2. The camera head of the identification camera 21 is facing the weighing plate 33 that passes through the top opening of the chassis 1, and can identify the medicinal materials placed on the weighing plate 33. The identification camera 21 is matched with the central control module 22. The information after identification will be sent to the central control module 22. The central control module 22 will then display the corresponding data on its display screen in combination with the weight and unit price of the medicinal materials.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a guide plate 4 is fixedly arranged in the chassis 1, and three support rods 41 are symmetrically arranged on the guide plate 4. The three support rods 41 are distributed in a triangle. Under the joint action of the three support rods 41, the guide plate 4 is stably supported. The edge of the guide plate 4 is in sliding contact with the guide rod 331 on the weighing plate 33. When the four-part bracket 31 rotates, the edge of the guide plate 4 abuts against the guide rod 331, so that the weighing plate 33 cannot approach the center of the guide plate 4. Figure 4 As shown, an arc-notched portion 42 is provided on the guide plate 4. When the weighing plate 33 reaches the top opening position of the chassis 1, the guide rod 331 thereon faces the arc-notched portion 42 and loses contact with the guide plate 4. At this time, the trigger rod 341 abuts against the weighing plate 33. The setting of the arc-notched portion 42 allows the weighing plate 33 and the guide rod 331 to have enough space to descend after medicinal materials are placed on the weighing plate 33.

[0028] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, two electric guide rails 5 are installed on the left side wall of the chassis 1, and sliders 501 are slidably arranged on the two electric guide rails 5, and a driving frame 51 surrounding the outer side of the chassis 1 is fixedly arranged between the sliders 501, and the right end of the driving frame 51 extends to the top of the chassis 1, and a U-shaped frame 52 is slidably arranged on the right end of the driving frame 51, and a scraper frame 53 adapted to the weighing pan 33 is fixedly arranged on the U-shaped frame 52. Figure 6As shown, the weighing pan 33 is provided with an inner inclined surface that smoothly transitions from the edge to the inner bottom side, and the scraper frame 53 is adapted to the weighing pan 33. The electric guide rail 5 is started to drive the slider 501 and the drive frame 51 to move to the left, which can make the U-shaped frame 52 and the scraper frame 53 move to the left. The scraper frame 53 then slides against the inner wall and the inner bottom of the weighing pan 33 and scrapes out the medicinal materials in the weighing pan 33 to achieve the purpose of automatic unloading. The scraper frame 53 is also equipped with a fan 54 that is arranged in contact with its inner wall. After the medicinal materials are scraped out, the fan 54 can blow away the medicinal residue on the scraper frame 53. Figure 6 As shown, a frame 6 is slidably provided on the top of the chassis 1, and the drive frame 51 slides through the frame 6, and a push piece 511 is provided on the drive frame 51. When the drive frame 51 slides to the left, it will first pass through the frame 6. After the push piece 511 contacts the frame 6, it will push the frame 6 to slide to the left synchronously. Figure 6 As shown, a hanging frame 61 is fixedly provided on the surrounding frame 6. Initially, the hanging frame 61 is connected to the weighing plate 33 passing through the top of the chassis 1, and there is a gap between the hanging frame 61 and the surrounding frame 6. The medicine bag is put on the hanging frame 61, and when the scraping frame 53 moves horizontally to the left, the medicinal materials on the weighing plate 33 will be directly scraped into the medicine bag. Subsequently, the pushing piece 511 will push the surrounding frame 6 and the hanging frame 61 to the left as a whole, so that the weighing plate 33 can smoothly complete the rotation switch.

[0029] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, four guide pipes 7 with nozzles 701 are arranged at the bottom of the chassis 1, and the nozzles 701 are arranged in the middle of the guide pipes 7. When the weighing pan 33 is rotated to be vertically downward, it is just facing the nozzles 701. The nozzles 701 spray clean water to wash the weighing pan 33. Figure 7 As shown, the right end of the guide pipe 7 passes through the side wall of the chassis 1, and the right ends of the four guide pipes 7 are connected to a through pipe 71. By connecting the through pipe 71 to an external water source, water can be supplied to the four guide pipes 7 at the same time. In addition, four sewage pipes 72 are symmetrically connected in the chassis 1, and the sewage from cleaning the weighing pan 33 can be discharged from the chassis 1 through the sewage pipes 72. Figure 8 As shown, a dryer 8 is installed on the right wall of the chassis 1. When the four-part bracket 31 rotates counterclockwise to switch the symmetrical disk 33, the weighing disk 33 is rinsed by the nozzle 701 and rotates to face the dryer 8. The dryer 8 will output hot air to the weighing disk 33, thereby quickly drying it to avoid residual moisture on the weighing disk 33, which will affect the subsequent weighing of medicinal materials.
