[0061] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0062] The utility model specifically provides a Chinese medicine piece bagging and sorting machine, comprising:

[0063] The first transmission line 1 is used to transmit the loading basket 2 containing Chinese herbal medicine pieces to the direction of the hopper assembly 3;

[0064] A second transmission line 4 is used to transmit the emptied medicine basket 5 in a direction away from the hopper assembly 3;

[0065] A clamping basket assembly 6, used for clamping the loaded medicine basket 2 or loosening the empty medicine basket 5;

[0066] The medicine basket transport assembly is used to move the clamping basket assembly 6 so that the clamping basket assembly 6 can complete the continuous actions of clamping the loaded medicine basket 2 from the end of the first transmission line 1, pouring the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the loaded medicine basket 2 into the hopper assembly 3, and placing the empty medicine basket 5 at the starting end of the second transmission line 4;

[0067] The hopper assembly 3 is used to guide the Chinese herbal medicine pieces poured thereinto into the medicine bag 10 at the opening at the lower end thereof.

[0068] The working process of the Chinese medicine slice bagging and sorting machine is as follows:

[0069] The loading medicine basket 2 containing Chinese herbal medicine pieces is transmitted to the position of the hopper assembly 3 through the first transmission line 1, and then the medicine basket conveying assembly drives the clamping basket assembly 6 to approach the loading medicine basket 2 located at the end of the first transmission line 1, and the loading medicine basket 2 is clamped by the clamping basket assembly 6.

[0070] Finally, the loading medicine basket 2 is moved to the top of the hopper assembly 3 through the medicine basket transport assembly, and then the clamping basket assembly 6 is driven to flip through the medicine basket transport assembly to pour the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the loading medicine basket 2 into the hopper assembly 3, and through the diversion of the hopper assembly 3, finally enter the medicine bag 10 placed at the lower end of the hopper assembly 3.

[0071] After the loading medicine basket 2 is emptied, the medicine basket transport assembly drives the clamping basket assembly 6 to flip and reset to horizontal, and then moves the empty medicine basket 5 to the starting end of the second transmission line 4. At this time, the clamping basket assembly 6 is released and the empty medicine basket 5 is placed on the second transmission line 4.

[0072] In summary, the Chinese medicine slice bagging and sorting machine can pour the Chinese medicine slices in the medicine basket into the medicine bag 10 through the cooperation of the medicine basket transport component, the clamping basket component 6 and the hopper component 3. In the process of replenishing medicine, weighing and reviewing, the medicine bag 10 is used to take the medicine basket to move the adjusted medicinal materials. The weight of the medicine bag 10 is much smaller than the weight of the medicine basket, which can reduce the labor intensity of the workers; and two transmission lines are set to transport the loaded medicine basket 2 and the empty medicine basket 5 respectively. After the Chinese medicine slices in the medicine basket are emptied, the second transmission line 4 immediately transports the empty medicine basket 5 to avoid the phenomenon of turnover and stacking of the medicine basket.

[0073] The above-mentioned turnover stacking refers to the fact that a large number of medicine baskets are stranded in this process due to the complicated work of replenishing medicine, weighing and reviewing.

[0074] Further, the medicine basket transport assembly includes a linear displacement mechanism and a flipping mechanism;

[0075] The flip mechanism is used to drive the clamping basket assembly 6 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to pour the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the loading medicine basket 2 into the hopper assembly 3;

[0076] The flipping mechanism is installed on the linear displacement mechanism, which is used to move the clamping basket assembly 6 to the clamping basket point at the end of the first transmission line 1, the pouring point of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces above the hopper assembly 3 and the basket placing point at the starting end of the second transmission line 4.

[0077] At this time, the working process of the Chinese medicine slice bagging and sorting machine is as follows:

[0078] The loading medicine basket 2 containing Chinese herbal medicine pieces is transmitted to the position of the hopper assembly 3 through the first transmission line 1, and then the clamping basket assembly 6 is driven by the linear displacement mechanism to approach the loading medicine basket 2 located at the end of the first transmission line 1, and the loading medicine basket 2 is clamped by the clamping basket assembly 6.

[0079] Finally, the loading medicine basket 2 is moved to the top of the hopper assembly 3 through the linear displacement mechanism, and then the clamping basket assembly 6 is driven to flip counterclockwise through the flipping mechanism, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the loading medicine basket 2 are poured into the hopper assembly 3, and finally enter the medicine bag 10 placed at the lower end of the hopper assembly 3 through the diversion of the hopper assembly 3.

[0080] After the loaded medicine basket 2 is emptied, the flipping mechanism drives the clamping basket assembly 6 to flip and reset to horizontal, and then moves the empty medicine basket 5 to the starting end of the second transmission line 4 through the linear displacement mechanism. At this time, the clamping basket assembly 6 is released and the empty medicine basket 5 is placed on the second transmission line 4.

[0081] Furthermore, the specific arrangement of the linear displacement mechanism is determined by the arrangement of the first transmission line 1 and the second transmission line 4. In order to improve the handling efficiency of the medicine basket, the arrangement of the first transmission line 1 and the second transmission line 4 in the utility model is as follows:

[0082] The first transmission line 1 and the second transmission line 4 are arranged in parallel on the same side of the hopper assembly 3, and the second transmission line 4 is located above the first transmission line 1;

[0083] Since the first transmission line 1 and the second transmission line 4 are parallel to each other and arranged vertically, the medicine basket does not need to move along the y-axis.

[0084] Based on this, the linear displacement mechanism includes an x-axis displacement mechanism 7 and a z-axis displacement mechanism 8, and the flip mechanism is configured as a flip cylinder 9;

[0085] The z-axis displacement mechanism 8 is installed on the x-axis displacement mechanism 7, and the flip cylinder 9 is installed on the z-axis displacement mechanism 8;

[0086] The x-axis displacement mechanism 7 can drive the z-axis displacement mechanism 8 installed thereon to move along the x-axis direction, and the z-axis displacement mechanism 8 can drive the flip cylinder 9 installed thereon to move up and down along the z-axis direction, and the flip cylinder 9 can drive the clamping basket assembly 6 installed thereon to flip clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0087] At this time, the working process of the Chinese medicine slice bagging and sorting machine is as follows:

[0088] The loading medicine basket 2 containing Chinese herbal medicine pieces is transmitted to the position of the hopper assembly 3 through the first transmission line 1, and then the clamping basket assembly 6 is driven by the x-axis displacement mechanism 7 and the z-axis displacement mechanism 8 to approach the loading medicine basket 2 located at the end of the first transmission line 1, and the loading medicine basket 2 is clamped by the clamping basket assembly 6.

[0089] Finally, the loading medicine basket 2 is moved to the top of the hopper assembly 3 through the x-axis displacement mechanism 7 and the z-axis displacement mechanism 8, and then the clamping basket assembly 6 is driven to flip 130° counterclockwise through the flip cylinder 9, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the loading medicine basket 2 are poured into the hopper assembly 3, and finally enter the medicine bag 10 placed at the lower end of the hopper assembly 3 through the diversion of the hopper assembly 3.

[0090] After the loaded medicine basket 2 is emptied, the flip cylinder 9 drives the clamping basket assembly 6 to flip 130° clockwise and reset to the horizontal state, and then moves the empty medicine basket 5 to the starting end of the second transmission line 4 through the x-axis displacement mechanism 7 and the z-axis displacement mechanism 8. At this time, the clamping basket assembly 6 is released and the empty medicine basket 5 is placed on the second transmission line 4.

[0091] Wherein, both the x-axis displacement mechanism 7 and the z-axis displacement mechanism 8 can be set as a cylinder or a screw slider structure.

[0092] In summary, the Chinese herbal medicine bagging and sorting machine can pour the Chinese herbal medicines in the medicine basket into the medicine bag 10 through the cooperation of the x-axis displacement mechanism 7, the z-axis displacement mechanism 8, the flip cylinder 9 and the hopper assembly 3. The weight of the medicine bag 10 is much smaller than the weight of the medicine basket, which can reduce the labor intensity of the workers; and two transmission lines are set to transport the loaded medicine basket 2 and the empty medicine basket 5 respectively. After the Chinese herbal medicines in the medicine basket are emptied, the second transmission line 4 immediately transports the empty medicine basket 5 away to avoid the phenomenon of turnover and stacking of the medicine baskets.

[0093] Furthermore, in order to reduce the single stroke of the clamping basket assembly 6, the first transmission line 1 and the second transmission line 4 are optimized as follows:

[0094] The distance between the starting end of the second transmission line (4) and the bracket of the hopper assembly (3) is at least greater than the distance between the end of the first transmission line (1) and the hopper assembly (3) by the length of a medicine basket.

[0095] The above arrangement can avoid interference of the second transmission line 4 with the movement of the clamping basket assembly 6, so that the clamping basket assembly 6 can choose to move in the x-axis and z-axis directions at the same time during the process of taking the basket and pouring the medicine, so that the clamping basket assembly 6 can move back and forth above the first transmission line 1 and the hopper assembly 3 along the shortest straight line, thereby shortening the stroke.

[0096] Furthermore, the structure of the basket clamping assembly 6 in the utility model is as follows: the basket clamping assembly 6 includes a basket clamping cylinder 601 and basket clamping arms 602 installed at both ends of the basket clamping cylinder 601, and the basket clamping cylinder 601 is installed on the flip cylinder 9 through a mounting frame;

[0097] The basket clamping cylinder 601 can drive the two basket clamping arms 602 to move closer to each other to clamp the loaded medicine basket 2 or move away from each other to release the empty medicine basket 5 .

[0098] Furthermore, a medicine bag storage rack 11 is provided on one side of the hopper assembly 3 for stacking and storing unopened medicine bags 10, and the bottom of the medicine bag storage rack 11 is hollowed out;

[0099] A bag taking assembly 12 is disposed below the medicine bag storage rack 11, and a bag opening assembly 13 is disposed on the opposite side of the bag taking assembly 12. The bag taking assembly 12 and the bag opening assembly 13 are disposed on opposite sides of the hopper assembly 3.

[0100] The bag taking component 12 comprises a rotary cylinder 1201 mounted on a frame, a bag taking cylinder 1202 is mounted on the rotating end of the rotary cylinder 1201, and a bag taking suction cup group 1203 is mounted on the moving end of the bag taking cylinder 1202;

[0101] The bag opening assembly 13 comprises a bag opening cylinder 1301 mounted on a frame, and a bag opening suction cup group 1302 is mounted on the moving end of the bag opening cylinder 1301;

[0102] The bag taking suction cup group 1203 and the bag opening suction cup group 1302 are respectively equipped with a vacuum generator 14 to provide suction force for the suction cups.

[0103] The bag opening suction cup group 1302 and the bag taking suction cup group 1203 are arranged opposite to each other, and can suck the two sides of the medicine bag 10 to pull the medicine bag 10 open.

[0104] The bag taking process of the bag taking component 12 is as follows:

[0105] The rotating cylinder 1201 drives the bag taking suction cup group 1203 to rotate counterclockwise by 90°, so that the bag taking suction cup group 1203 faces upward, and then the bag taking cylinder 1202 drives the bag taking suction cup group 1203 to fit with the bottom medicine bag 10 from the hollow part below the medicine bag storage rack 11, and the bag taking suction cup group 1203 absorbs the medicine bag 10.

[0106] After that, the bag taking cylinder 1202 retracts, and the bag taking suction cup group 1203 drives the medicine bag 10 to pass through the hollow at the bottom of the medicine bag storage rack 11. During this process, the medicine bag 10 will be deformed, but because the medicine bag 10 is soft, it will not be damaged, and will not affect the subsequent use of the medicine bag 10.

[0107] After the bag taking cylinder 1202 is retracted, the rotating cylinder 1201 is rotated 90° clockwise to make the medicine bag 10 in a vertical state.

[0108] The bag opening process is as follows: the bag taking cylinder 1202 and the bag opening cylinder 1301 respectively drive the bag taking suction cup group 1203 and the bag opening suction cup group 1302 to move relative to each other, so that the two suction cup groups respectively adsorb the two sides of the medicine bag 10.

[0109] The rear bag taking cylinder 1202 and the bag opening cylinder 1301 retract, and the two suction cup groups pull the medicine bag 10 open, so that the medicine bag 10 is located directly below the hopper assembly 3.

[0110] Both the bag taking suction cup group 1203 and the bag opening suction cup group 1302 are provided with four suction cups, which are respectively used to adsorb the two sides of the medicine bag 10.

[0111] The bottom center of the medicine bag storage rack 11 is provided with a large rectangular hollow, and the bottom four corners are provided with small hollows for the suction cup to pass through. A vertical plate for constraining the stacking position of the medicine bags 10 is also provided above the medicine bag storage rack 11.

[0112] Furthermore, under normal circumstances, the stroke of a single cylinder is limited. Considering the influence of the length, width, etc. of the medicine bag 10, the horizontal distance between the storage area of ​​the medicine bag 10 and the lower opening of the hopper assembly 3 may be slightly larger. Therefore, the frame in the bag picking assembly 12 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the translation cylinder 1204 to increase the displacement range of the bag picking suction cup group 1203.

[0113] Furthermore, the hopper assembly 3 includes an upper hopper 301 and a lower hopper 302. The upper hopper 301 is generally conical and is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The wider feed opening can ensure that the loading medicine basket 2 can completely pour the medicinal materials into the hopper.

[0114] The upper end of the lower hopper 302 is sleeve-connected with the lower end of the lower hopper 302 , and the lower hopper 302 can be inserted downward into the bag opening of the medicine bag 10 under the drive of the lower hopper cylinder 303 .

[0115] That is, after the medicine bag 10 is opened, the lower hopper cylinder 303 drives the lower hopper 302 to move downward, so that the lower end of the lower hopper 302 is inserted into the bag opening of the medicine bag 10 to prevent the Chinese medicine from scattering outside the medicine bag 10.

[0116] After the Chinese medicine completely enters the medicine bag 10 , the lower hopper cylinder 303 drives the lower hopper 302 to move upward so as to take out the medicine bag 10 .

[0117] The lower hopper cylinder 303 is installed on the side of the upper hopper 301 , or on the installation platform of the medicine bag storage rack 11 .

[0118] The lower hopper 302 and the upper hopper 301 are nested so that the lower hopper 302 and the upper hopper 301 partially overlap, and even if the lower hopper 302 moves downward, it will not separate from the upper hopper 301, thereby preventing the Chinese medicine from scattering outside the hopper.

[0119] Furthermore, a guide plate 304 bent inward is provided at the lower edge of the lower hopper 302 , and the guide plate 304 enables the lower hopper 302 to enter the bag opening of the medicine bag 10 more smoothly during the downward movement, thereby preventing the lower hopper 302 from puncturing the medicine bag 10 .

[0120] Furthermore, a bag pushing assembly 15 consisting of a bag pushing cylinder 1501 and a bag pushing plate 1502 is also provided below the hopper assembly 3. After the lower hopper 302 retracts upward and separates from the medicine bag 10, the bag pushing cylinder 1501 drives the bag pushing plate 1502 to push the medicine bag 10 away, leaving the space below the hopper empty and waiting for the next medicine bag 10.

[0121] Furthermore, a bridge breaking mechanism 305 is provided on the inner side of the upper hopper 301 to prevent the medicinal slices from getting stuck.

[0122] Specifically, the bridge-breaking mechanism 305 can be set as a bridge-breaking blowing mechanism or a bridge-breaking cylinder. The bridge-breaking blowing mechanism breaks the bridges between the Chinese medicines by blowing airflow, and the bridge-breaking cylinder can also break the bridges between the Chinese medicine pieces by moving the piston rod.

[0123] Furthermore, a labeling machine 1601 for printing prescription labels is also provided on one side of the medicine bag storage rack 11, and a detection photoelectric 1602 is provided above the label outlet end of the labeling machine 1601;

[0124] The label outlet end of the marking machine 1601 is also provided with a suction cup, which is equipped with a vacuum generator 14 and can be activated when the detection photoelectric 1602 detects the label to absorb the label;

[0125] The suction cup is installed at the moving end of the labeling cylinder 1604, and the labeling cylinder 1604 is installed at the moving end of the labeling delivery cylinder 1605. The labeling delivery cylinder 1605 is used to move the labeling cylinder 1604 and the suction cup to the bottom of the medicine bag storage rack 11, and the labeling cylinder 1604 is used to drive the suction cup to move upward to attach the label to the medicine bag 10.

[0126] Each printed label corresponds to the prescription corresponding to the loading medicine basket 2 at the end of the first transmission line 1. When the loading medicine basket 2 moves along the first transmission line 1 to the end of the first transmission line 1, the labeling machine 1601 prints the prescription corresponding to the medicinal materials in the medicine basket.

[0127] The above-mentioned labeling component 16 can affix a label corresponding to the prescription on each medicine bag, which is convenient for subsequent medicine replenishment, weighing and review work, and improves efficiency.

[0128] Furthermore, a spring 1606 is provided between the suction cup and the moving end of the labeling cylinder 1604. When labeling, the spring 1606 is compressed, which can convert the rigid impact between the suction cup and the medicine bag 10 into a flexible impact to avoid damaging the medicine bag 10. At the same time, the spring 1606 can also provide sufficient elastic force to ensure that the label is firmly attached.
