[0030] Reference below Figures 1 to 4 A Chinese medicinal material sorting device according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the Chinese medicinal material sorting device according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a mounting frame 100 , a barrel 200 and a sorting sleeve 300 .

[0032] For example, the mounting frame 100 may be equipped with a driving mechanism 102, and the driving mechanism 102 may include a motor, and the output shaft of the motor may be coaxially provided with a first gear, and the two ends of the barrel 200 may be coaxially provided with a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the mounting frame 100, and one of the rotating shafts may be coaxially provided with a second gear, and the second gear meshes with the first gear, and the motor is started, and the motor can control the rotation of the barrel 200 through the meshing of the first gear and the second gear. Of course, the driving mechanism 102 may also be other structures, for example, a first pulley may be provided on the output shaft of the motor, and a second pulley may be provided on one of the rotating shafts, and a conveying belt may be installed between the first pulley and the second pulley. The side wall of the barrel 200 is provided with a first material opening 201, and the two ends of the first material opening 201 may extend to the two ends of the barrel 200, and the width of the first material opening 201 may be set according to actual conditions.

[0033] The sorting sleeve 300 is sleeved outside the barrel 200 and can be rotated and adjusted relative to the barrel 200, that is, the sorting sleeve 300 can be fixed relative to the barrel 200 after being rotated and adjusted to a set angle relative to the barrel 200, so as to swing together with the barrel 200. The sorting sleeve 300 can be rotated and adjusted relative to the barrel 200, and the barrel 200 can be kept stationary while the sorting sleeve 300 rotates, or the sorting sleeve 300 can be kept stationary while the barrel 200 rotates. The sorting sleeve 300 is formed with a plurality of sorting sections 301 arranged along the circumference of the sorting sleeve 300, for example, Figure 2As shown, there can be four sorting sections 301, each of which is provided with a plurality of sorting holes 302. The apertures of the sorting holes 302 on the same sorting section 301 can be the same, and the apertures of the sorting holes 302 on different sorting sections 301 can be different. For example, the apertures can gradually increase along the counterclockwise direction of the sorting sleeve 300. When the sorting sleeve 300 rotates relative to the barrel 200, different sorting sections 301 can cover the first material port 201, so that the sorting holes 302 with different apertures are connected to the first material port 201, so that Chinese medicinal materials of different sizes can be sorted and discharged.

[0034] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to sort the Chinese medicinal materials, the Chinese medicinal materials are loaded into the barrel 200, and then the sorting sleeve 300 is rotated and adjusted relative to the barrel 200 so that the sorting section 301 corresponding to the sorting hole 302 with the smallest aperture covers the first material opening 201, and then the barrel 200 is rotated and adjusted so that the first material opening 201 is approximately located at the bottom end of the barrel 200, and then the barrel 200 is controlled to swing back and forth, so that the Chinese medicinal materials with the smallest size can be discharged from the sorting hole 302 with the smallest aperture, and then relative to the barrel 200, The sorting sleeve 300 is rotated and adjusted to make the sorting section 301 corresponding to the sorting hole 302 with the second smallest aperture cover the first material port 201, and then the barrel 200 is controlled to swing back and forth, so that the Chinese medicinal materials with the second smallest size can be discharged from the sorting hole 302 with the second smallest aperture. By repeating the previous steps, Chinese medicinal materials of other sizes can be discharged from the corresponding sorting holes 302 in turn, thereby realizing the sorting of all Chinese medicinal materials. It is fast and convenient, saves time and effort, has high sorting efficiency and accuracy, and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sorting sleeve 300 is provided with a sealing plate section 303, and the sealing plate section 303 and the sorting section 301 are arranged along the circumference of the sorting sleeve 300. The sorting sleeve 300 can be rotated to make the sealing plate section 303 cover the first material opening 201 to close the first material opening 201. When not in use, the sorting sleeve 300 can be rotated and adjusted relative to the barrel 200 to make the sealing plate section 303 cover the first material opening 201 to close the first material opening 201, thereby preventing external dust or rainwater from entering the barrel 200 and contaminating the barrel 200.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the sorting sleeve 300 is provided with a second material opening 304, and the second material opening 304 and the sorting section 301 are arranged along the circumference of the sorting sleeve 300, and the sorting sleeve 300 can be rotated to align the second material opening 304 with the first material opening 201. When it is necessary to load Chinese medicinal materials, the sorting sleeve 300 can be rotated and adjusted relative to the barrel 200 to align the second material opening 304 with the first material opening 201, and then the barrel 200 is rotated to make the second material opening 304 and the first material opening 201 located at the top of the barrel 200, and the Chinese medicinal materials can be loaded, which is convenient to operate and saves time and effort. In addition, after the sorting is completed, the second material opening 304 can also be aligned with the first material opening 201 and located at the bottom of the barrel 200, so that the impurities remaining in the barrel 200 can be completely discharged, which is more practical.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the second feed port 304 is located on one side of the sealing plate section 303, and the plurality of sorting sections 301 are located between the second feed port 304 and the side opposite to the sealing plate section 303. With such an arrangement, when sorting Chinese medicinal materials, it is not necessary to pass the second feed port 304 under the first feed port, thereby preventing Chinese medicinal materials from falling from the second feed port 304, thereby reducing the sorting effect and causing waste of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the apertures of the sorting holes 302 on the plurality of sorting segments 301 gradually increase in one direction along the circumference of the sorting sleeve 300. For example, there may be four sorting segments 301, and the apertures of the sorting holes 302 on the four sorting segments 301 may gradually increase in the counterclockwise direction of the sorting sleeve 300. When sorting the Chinese medicinal materials, it is sufficient to gradually rotate the sorting sleeve 300 relative to the barrel 200 by a certain angle, without rotating a full circle or rotating back and forth, which makes the operation more convenient and saves time and effort.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of lifting members 202 are provided in the barrel 200, and the plurality of lifting members 202 are distributed on both sides of the first material opening 201. The lifting members 202 are provided, and when the barrel 200 swings, the lifting members 202 can lift the Chinese medicinal materials, thereby achieving a better sorting effect of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0040] It should be noted that, during sorting, the barrel 200 is only swung, and thus the material-lifting pieces 202 only need to be distributed on both sides of the first material opening 201 and close to the first material opening 201 .

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3As shown, blocks 305 are provided at both ends of the sorting sleeve 300, and the blocks 305 are provided with slots 306. The mounting frame 100 is provided with a telescopic structure 101 which can be extended and retracted along the axial direction of the sorting sleeve 300 corresponding to the blocks 305. The sorting sleeve 300 can be rotated so that the blocks 305 are located on one side of the corresponding telescopic structure 101, so that the telescopic structure 101 can be extended to be inserted into the slots 306 of the corresponding blocks 305, thereby limiting the rotation of the sorting sleeve 300. For example, the block 305 can be arranged on the outer wall at both ends of the sorting sleeve 300, the slot 306 penetrates along the axial direction of the sorting sleeve 300, and the telescopic structure 101 is respectively arranged outside the two axial ends of the sorting sleeve 300. The telescopic structure 101 is telescopically adjusted along the axial direction of the sorting sleeve 300. When the sorting sleeve 300 is rotated to the set position, the block 305 is just located on one side of the corresponding telescopic structure 101, and the block 305 and the corresponding telescopic structure 101 are located on the same straight line in the axial direction of the sorting sleeve 300, so that the telescopic structure 101 can be inserted into the slot 306 of the corresponding block 305 when it is extended, thereby limiting the rotation of the sorting sleeve 300.

[0042] In this embodiment, when different sorting sections 301 need to cover the first material port 201, the telescopic structure 101 is extended to the slot 306 inserted in the corresponding card block 305 to limit the rotation of the sorting sleeve 300. Then, the barrel 200 is rotated to realize the rotation of the sorting sleeve 300 relative to the barrel 200, so that different sorting sections 301 can cover the first material port 201. Finally, the telescopic structure 101 is shortened and moved out of the slot 306 of the corresponding card block 305. The barrel 200 can drive the sorting sleeve 300 to rotate. When the first material port 201 and the corresponding sorting section 301 are located at the bottom end of the barrel 200, Chinese medicinal materials of corresponding sizes can be sorted out without manually rotating the sorting sleeve 300. The operation is simple and convenient, saving time and effort, and the design is ingenious.

[0043] It should be noted that the telescopic structure 101 may be an oil cylinder, a gas cylinder or a telescopic rod.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the two clamping blocks 305 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the axis of the sorting sleeve 300. That is, the two clamping blocks 305 are not only respectively located at two ends of the axial direction of the sorting sleeve 300, but also respectively located at two opposite sides of the axis of the sorting sleeve 300. Such an arrangement makes the force on the sorting sleeve 300 more balanced, and further makes the sorting sleeve 300 and the barrel 200 rotate more smoothly relative to each other.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the outer walls at both ends of the barrel 200 are provided with a plurality of recesses 203 arranged along the circumference of the barrel 200, and the inner walls at both ends of the sorting sleeve 300 are correspondingly provided with mounting holes 307, and spring ejectors 308 are installed in the mounting holes 307. When the sorting sleeve 300 rotates relative to the barrel 200, the spring ejectors 308 can be clamped in different recesses 203. When the barrel 200 and the sorting sleeve 300 need to rotate relative to each other, the spring ejector 308 contracts and slides out from the corresponding recess 203. When the barrel 200 and the sorting sleeve 300 need to rotate together, the spring ejector 308 elastically extends and snaps into the corresponding recess 203. Moreover, there are multiple recesses 203 at the same end of the barrel 200 arranged along the circumference of the barrel 200. Therefore, when different sorting sections 301 cover the first material port 201, the spring ejector 308 can be snapped into one of the recesses 203, so that when the barrel 200 swings, the sorting section 301 can follow the swing.

[0046] Of course, in some other embodiments of the utility model, the inner side walls at both ends of the sorting sleeve 300 may be provided with a plurality of recesses 203 arranged along the circumference of the sorting sleeve 300, and the outer side walls at both ends of the barrel 200 may be correspondingly provided with mounting holes 307, and spring ejectors 308 may be installed in the mounting holes 307. When the sorting sleeve 300 rotates relative to the barrel 200, the spring ejectors 308 can be clamped in different recesses 203.

[0047] It should be noted that the spring ejector 308 generally includes a mounting seat installed in the mounting hole 307, the mounting seat is provided with a spring, the end of the spring is provided with an ejector block, the end of the ejector block close to the recess 203 is set in an arc shape, the recess 203 is set in an arc shape, and then the ejector block can be inserted into the recess 203 or slide out of the recess 203 by the expansion and contraction of the spring. The spring ejector 308 is a common structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] It is understandable that first positioning holes may be provided at both ends of the sorting sleeve 300, and multiple first positioning holes arranged circumferentially may be provided on the outer walls at both ends of the barrel 200. When different sorting sections 301 cover the first material port 201, the first positioning hole is aligned with one of the second positioning holes, and then the fasteners are inserted to prevent the sorting sleeve 300 and the barrel 200 from rotating relative to each other. When the sorting sleeve 300 and the barrel 200 need to rotate relative to each other, the fasteners can be removed.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
