DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through examples. The following examples are provided to explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0026] See also Figure 1 - Figure 6 In the present embodiment, a raw medicinal material pill-making device is provided, which is specifically used for preparing 8 doses of Chinese medicine pills, and specifically comprises: a box body 1, wherein the box body 1 is integrated with a stripping mechanism 2, a pill-making mechanism 3 and a feeding mechanism 4, the stripping mechanism 2 comprises a propeller 21, a hopper 22 and a stripping port 23, the propeller 21 is provided with an end cover 211, the end cover 211 is snap-fitted with the hopper 22, an air nozzle 212 is provided above the end cover 211, the air nozzle 212 is connected to the air pump 15 through a pipeline 16 and is communicated with the inner cavity of the hopper 22, a stripping port 23 is threadedly connected below the hopper 22, a pill-making mechanism 3 is provided on the right side of the stripping mechanism 2, and a feeding mechanism 4 is provided below the pill-making mechanism 3.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the box body 1 can be moved and locked by universal wheels, and the mixed or refined medicinal materials 6 can be sent to the hopper 22 of the stripping mechanism 2, and the propeller 21 is clamped with the hopper 22. Under the extrusion of the propeller 21, the stripping mechanism 2 produces three medicinal strips 7 with the same diameter, which are made into pills 8 of uniform size through the pill-making mechanism 3, and then output to the designated position through the feeding mechanism 4. The air nozzle 212 and the air outlet of the air pump 15 are connected through the pipeline 16, and gas is introduced into the hopper 22 to discharge the residual medicinal materials 6 in the propeller 21 and the hopper 22, and continue to be squeezed into medicinal strips 7. If uniform and stable medicinal strips 7 cannot be output, they will be used as waste. When the traditional equipment is finished making medicine, the stripping mechanism 2 needs to be disassembled with a screwdriver, a wrench or other instruments to clean the remaining medicine 6. The end cover 211 of the propeller 21 of this embodiment is connected to the hopper 22 by a snap-on method, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning. The air nozzle 212 on the end cover 211 is connected by the air pump 15, and gas is introduced into the hopper 22 to further clean the remaining medicine 6 inside the stripping mechanism 2 (the gap between the guide blades 214 of the spiral propeller 21), and part of the medicine 6 peeled from the inside of the stripping mechanism 2 is squeezed into medicine strips 7 for use, thereby improving the utilization rate of the medicine 6. The feeding mechanism 4 of this embodiment uses a conveyor belt 41 as a transportation mechanism, and the conveyor belt 41 is driven by a motor 42 connected to a pulley 43 to output the pills 8 made by the pill making mechanism 3 to a designated position.

[0028] The hopper 22 of the pill discharging mechanism 2 is fixed to the box body 1 through a "U"-shaped bracket 11, and the pusher 21 is connected and adapted with a lifting mechanism 5. Before use, the hopper 22 can be fixed by the "U"-shaped bracket 11, and the "U"-shaped bracket 11 uses an arc structure to position the hopper 22, and then the nut on the "U"-shaped bracket 11 is tightened so that the hopper 22 is aligned with the pusher 21, and then the medicinal material 6 is fed into the hopper 22, and the pusher 21 is moved downward and pressed into the hopper 22 through the lifting mechanism 5 and sealed. After the pill making is completed, the pusher 21 can be taken out of the pill discharging mechanism 2 again through the lifting mechanism 5. The lifting mechanism 5 includes a screw motor 51, and the screw motor 51 is threadedly engaged with a connecting arm 52, and the connecting arm 52 is slidably adapted to the guide groove 12 in the vertical direction of the box body 1, and a lever 13 for controlling the movement of the connecting arm 52 is provided on the left side of the box body 1. The operator only needs to turn the lever 13 to achieve the insertion and removal of the propeller 21. The screw motor 51 has a self-locking function, which can lock the position of the propeller 21, and can prevent the end cover 211 of the propeller 21 from detaching from the top of the hopper 22 when gas is introduced into the hopper 22.

[0029] The end cover 211 is embedded with an annular sealing strip 213, and the inner wall surface of the hopper 22 is provided with an annular groove 221 that is snap-fitted with the annular sealing strip 213. This forms a relatively sealed effect between the hopper 22 and the end cover 211, and can prevent the gas introduced by the air pump 15 from overflowing from the snap joint between the end cover 211 and the hopper 22 to a certain extent.

[0030] The hopper 22 includes a contraction portion 222 and a fixed portion 223. The cavity of the contraction portion 222 gradually narrows from top to bottom. The outer wall surface of the fixed portion 223 is adapted to the clamping surface of the "U"-shaped bracket 11. The propeller 21 adopts a spiral propeller 21, and the guide blade 214 of the propeller 21 is adapted to the inner cavity contour of the hopper 22.

[0031] A pressure relief valve 224 is provided on one side of the hopper 22. When the discharge mechanism continuously introduces gas, if the discharge amount of gas is less than the intake amount, the air pressure in the hopper 22 will rise, and the pressure relief valve 224 can discharge the excess gas to prevent the hopper 22 from being damaged due to excessive air pressure inside the discharge mechanism.

[0032] A waste trough 14 is provided at the lower left side of the box body 1, and the waste trough 14 is located directly below the strip outlet 23 of the strip outlet mechanism 2. In the initial stage of strip outlet of the medicine material 6 and when it is about to end (the medicine strips 7 outputted from the strip outlet 23 are not uniform and stable), these medicine strips 7 do not meet the requirements of pill making and need to be discarded. The waste trough 14 can effectively collect these wastes, and unified collection is convenient for subsequent cleaning.

[0033] The pill-making mechanism 3 includes an automatic control wheel 31, a guide wheel 32, a guide frame 33 and a cutter wheel 34. The automatic control wheel 31 and the guide wheel 32 are rotatably arranged on the housing 1, and the guide frame 33 is connected to the housing 1 through an angle code 17. The automatic control wheel 31 plays an automatic control role in the pill-making process. Through the rotation of the automatic control wheel 31, the medicinal material 6 can properly enter the pill-making mechanism 3 to achieve accurate production of pills 8. The function of the guide wheel 32 is to separate the multiple medicinal strips 7 output from the strip outlet 23, to ensure that each medicinal strip 7 is in an independent conveying position, to avoid mixing between the medicinal strips 7. The guide frame 33 helps to position the medicinal strips 7, to ensure that the medicinal strips 7 are correctly conveyed to the cutter wheel 34, and the medicinal strips 7 are cut and rubbed into pills under the action of the linear and circular motion of the cutter wheel 34 to make pills 8.

[0034] The pill making mechanism 3 further includes a nozzle 35 (fixed on the box body 1 through an angle code 17), the nozzle 35 is connected to a ball valve 36, and the ball valve 36 is connected to an alcohol barrel 18 through a pipeline 16. The pill making mechanism 3 further includes two groups of brushes 37 (fixed on the box body 1 through an angle code 17) arranged on both sides of the knife wheel 34. The pill making knife is provided with a brush 37 on the outside by dripping the medicine strip 7 with alcohol, so as to solve the problem of knife sticking. The alcohol is placed on the box body 1, and the amount of alcohol is adjusted by the ball valve 36.

[0035] The above contents described in this specification are merely examples of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of the present utility model may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or replace them in similar ways, as long as they do not deviate from the contents of the present utility model specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they shall all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
