A temperature sensor 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed box 3 to monitor the temperature change inside the feed box 3 in real time, ensuring that the temperature inside the feed box 3 always remains within the appropriate sterilization range.
[0034] Specifically, the partition plate 202 divides the feed box 3 into upper and lower regions, enabling the heating plate 206 to centrally heat and sterilize the traditional Chinese medicine beverage raw materials in the upper region. The setting of the control valve 205 can precisely control the flow of raw materials in the feed box 3. During the sterilization process, the control valve 205 is closed to ensure that the raw materials fully receive sterilization treatment in the heating region. After sterilization is completed, the control valve 205 is opened to allow the sterilized raw materials to smoothly flow into the subsequent packaging process below. This precise control can ensure that each batch of raw materials is fully sterilized, improving the stability of product quality. The temperature sensor 204 can continuously monitor the temperature changes in the feed box 3. By connecting to the control system, the temperature sensor 204 can automatically adjust the power of the heating plate 206 according to the preset sterilization temperature, ensuring that the temperature in the feed box 3 always remains within the appropriate sterilization range. This helps improve the accuracy and reliability of sterilization and avoid affecting the sterilization effect due to too high or too low temperature. The refrigeration plate 203 at the bottom of the feed box 3 can cool down the feed box 3 after the raw materials flow out, preventing the remaining heat from having an adverse impact on the subsequently entering raw materials;
[0035] Refer to the attached Figure 4 , an observation window 16 is provided on the outer wall of the machine body 1. During the operation of the packaging machine, the operator can view the conveying situation of the packaging bottles 7 on the conveyor belt 6, the filling situation of the pointed tube 5 below the feed box 3, and the capping action of the machine gripper 15 through the observation window 16. The outer wall of the observation window 16 is made of glass material; it has good transparency. A maintenance door 20 is provided at the rear side of the machine body 1. A handle 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the maintenance door 20.

[0036] Specifically, the observation window 16 is made of glass material and has good transparency, enabling the operator to directly observe the working conditions inside the packaging machine without opening the machine body 1. The glass material is strong and durable, capable of withstanding a certain amount of external force impact, and is also easy to clean to maintain good visibility. The maintenance door 20 is located at the rear side of the machine body 1, facilitating the operator to perform repairs and maintenance when the equipment malfunctions. A handle 21 is fixedly connected to the maintenance door 20 for easy opening and closing. When repairs need to be carried out on the packaging machine, the operator holds the handle 21 and pulls the maintenance door 20 forcefully to enter the interior of the machine body 1 for inspection and repair.
[0037] Working principle: First, put the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine beverages into the feeding box 3. The raw materials flow into the pointed tube 5 through multiple telescopic tubes 4. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 10 starts to work under the control of the controller 17. The electric telescopic rod 10 extends and pushes the fixed plate 8 to move downward. Since the two pointed tubes 5 are fixed on the fixed plate 8, the pointed tubes 5 also move downward accordingly, approaching the bottle mouth of the packaging bottle 7 on the lower conveyor belt 6. The packaging bottle 7 is placed on the conveyor belt 6 and moves as the conveyor belt 6 runs. When the packaging bottle 7 moves to the designated position below the pointed tube 5, the electric telescopic rod 10 stops extending, and the raw materials flow from the pointed tube 5 into the packaging bottle 7. While the packaging bottle 7 is being filled, multiple packaging caps 14 are stored in the cap storage barrel 12. When the packaging bottle 7 is filled, the conveyor belt 6 transports it to a position close to the cap storage barrel 12. At this time, the machine gripper 15 starts to work under the control of the controller 17. A packaging cap 14 falls from the cap storage barrel 12, is placed on the packaging bottle 7 and rotated to complete the capping operation;
[0038] And after the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine beverages are poured into the feeding box 3 from the feeding port 201 at the top of the feeding box 3, they first fall into the area above the partition plate 202. At this time, the heating plate 206 at the top of the partition plate 202 starts to work to heat the raw materials. Heating can kill most bacteria, virus microorganisms and play a role in sterilization. The temperature sensor 204 monitors the temperature in the feeding box 3 in real time. When the temperature reaches the set sterilization temperature, the heating plate 206 maintains this temperature for a period of time to ensure sufficient sterilization effect. During the heating and sterilization process, the control valve 205 located inside the heating plate 206 and the partition plate 202 is in a closed state to prevent the raw materials from flowing downward before sterilization is completed. When the sterilization is completed, the control valve 205 is opened, and the beverage raw materials fall below the partition plate 202, are cooled by the refrigeration plate 203, and finally flow to the pointed tube 5 through the telescopic tube 4 for filling.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
