Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technology of packing Chinese herbal medicine slices, and more specifically to a packing device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces are TCM preparations made from raw Chinese medicinal herbs through processing into slices or granules. TCM decoction pieces have advantages such as convenient administration, easy storage, and portability, and have become an important measure for the modernization and internationalization of TCM. They are widely used in TCM clinical applications, suitable for internal and external use, and are an important form of traditional Chinese medicine preparations. After processing, TCM decoction pieces need to be packaged using boxing equipment. With the continuous development of science and technology, the field of TCM processing and production has made significant progress. As a form of TCM, TCM decoction pieces, after being packaged into boxes, need to be packed and packaged.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN112830002A discloses a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction piece packing device. This device utilizes a conveyor mechanism mounted on a mounting frame, with a horizontal plate and partition above the conveyor belt to organize and limit the movement of TCM decoction piece boxes, ensuring packing stability. A transplanting and clamping mechanism on the mounting frame ensures stable transplanting of the TCM decoction piece boxes, further guaranteeing packing stability. A box fixing mechanism at the lower end of the mounting frame restricts and controls the box's position, ensuring packing accuracy. A stepping mechanism on the mounting frame enables the box to move in a stepping motion, allowing the box to be fully filled with TCM decoction piece boxes, ensuring a compact packing process and improving production efficiency.

[0004] When using existing equipment, the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece packing device often results in chaotic packing, causing the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece boxes to be arranged in an irregular form inside the box. At the same time, the misalignment or damage caused by the offset or stacking of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece boxes during transportation affects the efficiency and quality of subsequent packing.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] Example:

[0039] Please see Figures 1-9 A traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece packing device includes a base 1, and collection components 11 are provided at both ends of the base 1 to collect the adjusted items.

[0040] In this scheme, the collection component 11 is composed of a conveyor belt, and a corresponding box is placed at the end of the collection component 11 for collecting objects.

[0041] Furthermore, the correction component 2 is assembled at the end of the base 1 and is used to orient and transport the object. The correction component 2 includes a fixing block 21 fixedly connected to the end of the base 1. A driving component 22 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing block 21, and the output end of the driving component 22 extends through and to the outside of the fixing block 21. A rotating drum 24 is fixedly installed at the output end of the driving component 22. Multiple sets of limiting plates 25 are engaged on the inner wall of the rotating drum 24. The multiple sets of limiting plates 25 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the rotating drum 24.

[0042] In this embodiment, the driving component 22 is a device with power output such as a motor, and is connected to an external control device. When the driving component 22 is started, it synchronously drives the rotating drum 24 fixedly installed at its output end to rotate. The inner wall of the fixing block 21 is provided with an arc plate, which limits the rotating drum 24 so that the rotating drum 24 remains stable as a whole when it rotates.

[0043] The outer surface of the rotating drum 24 has slots corresponding to the limiting plate 25, and the limiting plate 25 is disposed on the inner wall of the slot. The limiting plate 25 restricts the objects and transfers them to the designated position. Furthermore, when the box is full and being transferred, the objects being continuously transported can be stored, which facilitates continuous packing when the next box arrives, reducing intermediate stops.

[0044] Furthermore, the inner wall of the limiting plate 25 is provided with a sliding groove 251, and a movable block 27 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove 251. At the same time, a telescopic member 26 is fixedly installed at the end of the movable block 27, and the end of the telescopic member 26 away from the movable block 27 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting plate 25.

[0045] Specifically, the telescopic component 26 is a device with telescopic function such as an electric telescopic rod, and is connected to an external control device. When the telescopic component 26 is started, it synchronously drives the movable block 27 fixedly installed at its output end to move.

[0046] When the movable block 27 moves, it is limited by the slide groove 251 set on the inner wall of the limiting plate 25, so that the movable block 27 moves along the inner wall of the slide groove 251.

[0047] Furthermore, a connecting block 271 is fixedly installed at the end of the movable block 27, a locking block 28 is rotatably installed at the end of the connecting block 271, and a pressing block 281 is rotatably installed at the end of the locking block 28, thereby limiting the object by pressing block 281.

[0048] Specifically, when the movable block 27 moves, it synchronously drives the connecting block 271 fixedly installed at its end to move as well. Since the locking block 28 is rotatably installed at the end of the connecting block 271, the movement of the connecting block 271 drives the locking block 28 to move synchronously. The pressing block 281 is rotatably installed on the locking block 28, so that the movement of the locking block 28 drives the pressing block 281 to move synchronously. Both the outer surfaces of the locking block 28 and the pressing block 281 are provided with cushioning components such as rubber.

[0049] Furthermore, a support block 29 is fixedly installed at the end of the limiting plate 25, and a guide plate 291 is fixedly installed at the end of the support block 29. The cross-section of the guide plate 291 is inclined. A guide block 292 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the guide plate 291, and a positioning shaft 282 is fixedly installed on one side of the locking block 28. The outer surface of the positioning shaft 282 is rotatably connected to the end of the guide block 292.

[0050] Specifically, when the locking block 28 moves, it works in conjunction with the positioning shaft 282 fixedly installed at its end to drive the guide block 292 to move. The outer surface of the end of the guide block 292 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide plate 291, and the guide plate 291 is inclined as a whole. This allows the locking block 28 to move slowly to one side through the guide block 292 when the locking block 28 moves, thereby driving the locking block 28 to rotate around the end of the connecting block 271.

[0051] When the locking block 28 rotates, it locks the outer surface of the object in conjunction with the pressing block 281 mounted at its end. When the rotating cylinder 24 rotates to the appropriate position, the locking block 28 pushes the object to move until it is disengaged from the limiting plate 25.

[0052] Furthermore, a support plate 23 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the end of the fixed block 21, and a through hole 231 is opened at the end of the support plate 23 for transporting objects.

[0053] Specifically, the inner wall of the pallet 23 is inclined. When an object moves along the inclined side of the pallet 23, it is transferred into the box through the through hole 231. One end of the through hole 231 is provided with a conveyor plate, and the end of the conveyor plate is provided with a telescopic device such as an electric telescopic rod. The conveyor plate works in conjunction with the conveyor plate to accurately transfer the object into the box and stack them in sequence.

[0054] Furthermore, the guide component 3, which is assembled at the end of the straightening component 2, provides initial guidance for the object and works with the straightening component 2 to reduce downtime during production. The guide component 3 includes a positioning plate 31 that engages with the pallet 23. A power component 32 is fixedly installed at the end of the positioning plate 31, and a turntable 33 is fixedly installed at the output end of the power component 32.

[0055] Specifically, the power component 32 is a device with power output, such as a motor, and is connected to an external control device. When the power component 32 is started, it synchronously drives the turntable 33, which is fixedly installed at its output end, to rotate.

[0056] Furthermore, a power plate 34 is rotatably mounted on the end of the turntable 33, and a protective rod 35 is rotatably mounted on the end of the power plate 34 away from the center.

[0057] Specifically, a snap-fit ​​block is provided on one side of the power plate 34, and a slot is provided at the end of the snap-fit ​​block. The inner wall of the slot is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the end of the guard rod 35. A support column is provided on the outer surface of the power plate 34, and the end of the support column is fixedly connected to the end of the positioning plate 31, so that the power plate 34 remains in a fixed state.

[0058] Furthermore, a protrusion 331 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the turntable 33, and the outer surface of the protrusion 331 is in contact with the outer surface of the protective rod 35.

[0059] Specifically, when the turntable 33 rotates, it synchronously drives the protrusion 331 fixedly installed on its outer surface to rotate. Since the outer surface of the protrusion 331 is in contact with the outer surface of the protective rod 35, after the turntable 33 rotates once, the protective rod 35 is driven to rotate around the inner wall of the slot through the action of the protrusion 331.

[0060] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​rod 351 is rotatably mounted on the end of the protective rod 35. The end of the snap-fit ​​rod 351 is fixedly connected to the end of the positioning plate 31. Meanwhile, an elastic element 352 is sleeved on the outer surface of the snap-fit ​​rod 351. One end of the elastic element 352 is connected to the end of the snap-fit ​​rod 351, and the other end is connected to the end of the protective rod 35.

[0061] Specifically, the elastic element 352 is a torsion spring, which limits the protective rod 35 so that when the protective rod 35 is subjected to force, it compresses the torsion spring, and when the force is stopped, the protective rod 35 is moved to the initial position by the force of the torsion spring.

[0062] Furthermore, a transmission plate 36 is rotatably mounted on the end of the positioning plate 31 and on one side of the turntable 33. A transmission groove 361 is formed on the outer surface of the transmission plate 36, and the inner wall of the transmission groove 361 is engaged with the outer surface of the end of the protective rod 35.

[0063] Specifically, the outer surface of the end of the protective rod 35 engages with the inner wall of the transmission groove 361, ensuring the overall stability of the transmission plate 36 in the engaged state. When the protective rod 35 and the transmission groove 361 are separated, the transmission plate 36 can rotate. The transmission groove 361 has four sets, which work in conjunction with the transmission rod 37 to precisely transport objects.

[0064] Furthermore, a transmission rod 37 is fixedly installed at the end of the transmission plate 36, and a baffle 38 is fixedly installed at the end of the transmission rod 37.

[0065] Specifically, a movable plate 39 is provided at the end of the positioning plate 31, and the movable plate 39 is inclined as a whole. It blocks the objects through the transmission rod 37. When the transmission rod 37 rotates, it can transport one object at a time. Since the movable plate 39 is inclined, it slides slowly to the end by its own weight when it is not blocked by the transmission rod 37. The objects piled on it drive the transmission rod 37 to rotate.

[0066] The surface of the baffle 38 is arc-shaped, which allows for the initial correction of uneven objects when they pass through, thus preventing misalignment during subsequent transfer.

[0067] The control device can be a microcontroller as the control terminal. In this embodiment, the microcontroller is a typical embedded microcontroller unit, consisting of an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a controller, memory, input / output devices, etc., essentially a miniature computer. Compared to general-purpose microprocessors used in personal computers, it emphasizes self-sufficiency (no external hardware required) and cost savings. Its biggest advantage is its small size, allowing it to be placed inside the instrument, but it has limited storage capacity, simple input / output interfaces, and low power consumption.

[0068] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
