Method for dispensing traditional Chinese medicines through storage hopper

Abstract

The traditional Chinese medicine dispensing process comprises the steps that when a dispensing mechanism needs to supplement traditional Chinese medicine leaves, a discharging port is opened, so that traditional Chinese medicine drinks in the storage hopper fall into a feeding port and enter the dispensing mechanism, and the traditional Chinese medicine leaves to be regulated are poured into the storage hopper through a supplementing port to be stored. The method has the advantage of low frequency of supplementing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces during adjustment, and solves the problem of frequent supplementing of traditional Chinese medicine leaves during traditional Chinese medicine price adjustment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Chinese medicine production, and in particular to a method for dispensing Chinese medicine in a storage hopper. Background Art

[0002] Decoctions are in line with the principle of TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation and addition and subtraction according to symptoms. In addition to being easy to prepare, having a wide range of solvent sources, and being non-irritating and non-side-effective, they also have the advantages of liquid preparations, namely, fast absorption and rapid efficacy. Decoctions are the most widely used dosage form in clinical practice.

[0003] In the early days of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, most of the utensils used for decocting medicine were eating utensils. In ancient times, pottery decocting utensils were more commonly used because the raw materials were easy to obtain and the manufacturing cost was low. At the same time, pottery utensils have stable chemical properties and have always been the main decocting utensils.

[0004] With the development of the times and the advancement of urbanization, it has become a burden for individuals to go home and decoct medicine due to various factors. Various places have launched Chinese medicine decoction services. Since Chinese herbal decoctions are dialectical treatments, one prescription for each person, and production relies heavily on manual labor. The current decoction machines mostly use cloth bags to wrap and decoct. Due to the insolubility of the decoction, and the extrusion and solid-liquid separation after decoction, some insoluble particles enter the liquid medicine, which seriously affects the quality of Chinese herbal decoctions; using cloth bags to wrap, soak and decoction, it is difficult to ensure that the effective part of the decoction pieces is dissolved, which affects the efficacy. Large-scale decoction centers urgently need to introduce intelligent decoction equipment that follows the traditional decoction process to meet the residents' growing demand for decoction and high-quality decoction services, improve the quality and management level of decoction, and promote high-quality development of the decoction industry.

[0005] In the existing decoction process, the medicine must be adjusted first (i.e., the medicine is prepared according to the prescription). Since the capacity of the hopper of the adjustment mechanism is small, the Chinese medicine drink needs to be frequently replenished during use. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a method for adjusting Chinese medicine in a storage hopper with low frequency of replenishing Chinese medicine pieces during adjustment, thereby solving the problem of frequent replenishment of Chinese medicine pieces during price adjustment of Chinese medicine.

[0007] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solutions: A method for adjusting Chinese medicine with a storage hopper, comprising a frame, wherein the frame is provided with a plurality of adjusting mechanisms distributed in the up-down direction, the adjusting mechanisms are provided with a feeding port, and the method further comprises a plurality of storage hoppers distributed in the up-down direction, the storage hoppers are arranged tilted, the lower end of the storage hoppers is provided with a discharge port, the discharge ports of all storage hoppers are located one-to-one above the feeding port of the adjusting mechanism, the feeding port is aligned one-to-one with the discharge port, the high end of the storage hoppers is provided with a feeding port, the feeding port of the storage hopper located above is the farthest from the vertical plane passing through the discharge port, and the feeding port of the storage hopper located below is the farthest from the vertical plane passing through the discharge port in the direction away from the vertical plane. The process of adjusting Chinese medicine is: when the adjusting mechanism needs to replenish Chinese medicine pieces, the discharge port is opened so that the Chinese medicine drink in the storage hopper falls to the feeding port and enters the adjusting mechanism, and the Chinese medicine pieces to be adjusted are poured into the storage hopper through the feeding port for storage. It can make it unnecessary to wait for the Chinese herbal medicine slices during adjustment, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices spilled when replenishing the Chinese herbal medicine slices into the discharge hopper will not fall into the storage hopper below, thereby improving the accuracy of adjustment.

[0008] Preferably, the opening direction of the feeding port is inclined upward, so that the feeding port has good patency.

[0009] Preferably, the end surface of the feeding port is an upwardly inclined surface, so that the feeding container can be conveniently and reliably abutted against the feeding port.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding port is located outside the frame, which is convenient for feeding into the storage tank.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding port is provided with a bucket cover which can be covered when not in use to prevent dust from entering.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the bucket cover is hinged to the storage bucket through a horizontal hinge shaft, which is convenient to open and can be closed by gravity, thereby avoiding the situation of not being covered.

[0013] Preferably, a pull ring is provided on the bucket cover, and the bucket cover can be opened by pulling the pull ring during use, which makes it convenient to open the bucket cover.

[0014] Preferably, the pull ring is located at the lower end of the bucket cover, which saves effort when opening the bucket cover.

[0015] Preferably, the bucket cover is a ferromagnetic structure, and between the upper and lower adjacent storage hoppers, the upper storage hopper is provided with a permanent magnet, and the bucket cover on the lower storage hopper can be opened until it is adsorbed by the permanent magnet on the upper storage hopper. When refilling, the bucket cover is opened until it is adsorbed by the permanent magnet, so that the bucket cover can be conveniently maintained in an open state.

[0016] Preferably, the lower side wall of the upper storage hopper abuts against the upper side wall of the lower storage hopper, thereby saving space and increasing the capacity of the storage tank when the space size is constant.

[0017] The invention has the following beneficial effects: the storage part of the price adjustment structure is expanded, so that there is no need to frequently replenish Chinese herbal medicines; spilled Chinese herbal medicines will not fall into the storage hopper below, thereby improving the accuracy of adjustment.
