[0042] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] The embodiments of the present utility model provide an automatic medicinal material sorting device. Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 . The automatic medicinal material sorting device includes a box body 1, a screening unit 2, a dust collection unit, a guide plate, a transmission unit, and a storage box 6.

[0044] Specifically,

[0045] The box body 1 is divided into a sorting chamber and an installation chamber 13 by a partition plate 12. An installation opening 14 is provided at the top of the sorting chamber adjacent to the installation chamber 13. A material taking door 10 is hinged to the front end of the box body 1. Among them, the sorting chamber includes a screening unit 2, a dust collection unit, a guide plate, a transmission unit, and a storage box 6. The sorting of medicinal materials is completed by screening and dust removal of the medicinal materials. A driving device 7 is installed in the installation chamber 13 to control the reciprocating movement of the screening unit 2 along the direction of the slide channel. Among them,

[0046] The screening unit 2 includes a screen frame 20 and a movable door 21. The screen frame 20 has an overall rectangular parallelepiped structure with an open top and one side end. The screen frame 20 and the movable door 21 are threadedly connected by an installation rod 22, so that the open part of the screen frame 20 is enclosed by the movable door 21. The front end, the rear end, and the bottom end of the screen frame 20 are all provided with evenly spaced screen holes 200. By opening the movable door 21, the medicinal materials to be sorted can be placed in the screen frame 20; then the movable door 21 is installed on the screen frame 20, so that the medicinal materials are enclosed in the screening unit 2. Preferably, the screening unit 2 is not filled with medicinal materials.

[0047] Subsequently, the screening unit 2 is arranged at the installation opening 14 of the sorting chamber. One end of a sliding block 23 is connected to the opposite end of the open side of the screen frame 20. In order to realize the automatic reciprocating movement of the screening unit 2 in the box body 1, a sliding channel 11 matching the sliding block 23 is provided at the partition plate 12. The other end of the sliding block 23 penetrates and protrudes from the sliding channel 11, so as to facilitate the sliding of the sliding block 23 in the direction close to the driving device 7 until it is connected to the driving device 7. Therefore, the sliding block 23 can be driven by the driving device 7 to drive the screening unit 2 to automatically reciprocate along the extending direction of the sliding channel 11, so that the medicinal materials are turned in the screening unit 2, so that impurities, ash, etc. are screened out through the screen holes 200. Preferably, the outer wall of the sliding block 23 is in contact with the sliding channel 11. The extending direction of the sliding channel 11 is the vertical direction.

[0048] The dust collection unit is provided to match the screening unit 2 and is installed at the bottom end of the sorting chamber. The dust collection unit is used for collecting impurities and includes an outer frame 30 and a drawer 31.

[0049] The outer frame 30 has an overall cuboid structure with an open top and one side end. The open side end of the outer frame 30 is connected to the inner side wall of the picking chamber. The size of the accommodation space of the drawer 31 is larger than the size of the screening unit 2, so impurities, ash, etc. screened out by the sieve holes 200 can fall into the drawer 31 for collection.

[0050] The drawer 31 is slidably connected to the outer frame 30. Therefore, by pulling out the drawer 31 from the outer frame 30, the impurities, ash, etc. in the drawer 31 can be cleaned.

[0051] In order to enable the sieve frame 20 to perform screening within the outer frame 30 to avoid the flying of ash in the picking chamber, the height of the outer frame 30 itself is set to match the height of the sieve frame 20 itself and the connection position of the sliding block 23 to the driving device 7. That is, when the driving device 7 has not been started, the screening unit 2 is located between the top of the outer frame 30 and the top of the drawer 31, so that when the driving device 7 is started, it can drive the screening unit 2 to reciprocate within the outer frame 30, and further block the ash screened out by the outer frame 30 and make it fall into the drawer 31.

[0052] The guiding plate is provided to match the open side end of the sieve frame 20 and is obliquely installed on the inner wall of the rear end of the box body 1, so that the medicinal materials in the sieve frame 20 can slide down to a certain component along the guiding plate. That is, when the screening unit 2 is arranged at the installation opening 14, the top end of the guiding plate can be set at the same height as the inner bottom wall of the sieve frame 20 and is connected to the side wall at the bottom end of the sieve frame 20. Preferably, the guiding plate includes a horizontal plate 40 and an inclined plate 41. The top end of the horizontal plate 40 can be at the same height as the inner bottom wall of the sieve frame 20. One side end of the horizontal plate 40 is connected to the side wall at the bottom end of the sieve frame 20, and the other side end is connected to an inclined plate 41 that is inclined towards the bottom end of the box body 1.

[0053] The transmission unit includes a conveyor belt 50, a brush roller group 51, and a dust suction hood 52. The conveyor belt 50 is arranged to match the position below the guiding plate and is installed at the rear end of the box body 1, so that the medicinal materials sliding down along the guiding plate can fall onto one end of the conveyor belt 50 and be further transmitted by the conveyor belt 50. The brush roller group 51 is installed at the rear end of the box body 1 and is arranged above the conveyor belt 50 adjacent to the other end of the conveyor belt 50. That is, when the medicinal materials are transmitted from one end to the other end, the brush roller group 51 will contact the medicinal materials to brush off the ash on the surface of the medicinal materials again. The dust suction hood 52 is arranged above the brush roller group 51 and is connected to the inner top and the rear end of the box body 1. A dust suction port 521 is opened at the top of the dust suction hood 52 to help remove the ash in the dust suction hood 52.

[0054] The storage box 6 is arranged to match the position below the conveyor belt 50, so that the medicinal materials transmitted to the other end of the conveyor belt 50 can fall into the storage box 6. The storage box 6 is slidably connected to the inner bottom end of the box body 1. By opening the material taking door 10 of the box body 1, the storage box 6 can be slid out of the box body 1, and at this time, the storage box 6 contains the picked medicinal materials.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, the working principle of the present application is as follows:

[0056] Place the screening unit 2 with medicinal materials at the installation opening 14, and install one end of the sliding block 23 at the opposite end of the sieve frame 20. At this time, the other end of the sliding block 23 penetrates and protrudes from the sliding channel 11. The sliding block 23 slides along the sliding channel 11 towards the driving device 7, so that the sliding block 23 can be installed on the driving device 7. Start the driving device 7, and drive the screening unit 2 to reciprocate in the vertical direction by the driving device 7, so that the medicinal materials are turned in the screening unit 2, and impurities, ash, etc. are screened out through the sieve holes 200 into the drawer 31.

[0057] Stop the driving device 7, and detach and separate the sliding block 23 from the driving device 7. Push the sliding block 23 vertically upward along the sliding channel 11 to the installation opening 14 of the box body 1, and the inner bottom wall of the sieve frame 20 is at the same height as the top end of the guide plate. At this time, remove the mounting rod 22 to remove the movable door 21 from the sieve frame 20. Push the medicinal materials in the screening unit 2 towards the cross plate 40 and slide along the extension direction of the inclined plate 41 of the guide plate to the conveyor belt 50, and further transport through the conveyor belt 50. While the medicinal materials are being transported, the brush roller group 51 dusts them to perform secondary dust removal, thereby improving the purity of the medicinal materials falling into the storage box 6.

[0058] In summary, it can be seen that the advantages of the present application are that the medicinal materials in the screening unit 2 are turned by reciprocating up and down to achieve primary screening of the medicinal materials. The screened medicinal materials are successively transported and secondary dust-removed through the guide plate and the transmission unit. The above-mentioned process of picking medicinal materials not only has low dependence on manual labor, greatly improves the efficiency of picking medicinal materials, but also improves the purity of the picked medicinal materials.
