[0002] Currently, according to traditional Chinese medicine, hospital prescriptions for Chinese herbal medicine slices require decocting into a decoction before consumption. There are two current options: one is for the client to prepare the decoction themselves; the other is for the hospital or a decoction center to prepare the decoction on their behalf, which is then processed by a decoction machine and packaged into individual decoction bags using a dedicated packaging machine. After the liquid medicine is packaged, the bags fall vertically from a packaging head and are then individually labeled. However, relying solely on manual labeling for large volumes of liquid medicine is labor-intensive, prone to errors, and can affect production efficiency. Furthermore, manual operation carries the risk of contamination of the bags.

[0003] At present, most of the automatic labeling mechanisms on the market adopt the structure of cylinder plus conveyor belt or brush plus conveyor belt. The labeling position is mostly when the medicine bag falls vertically onto the conveyor belt and then the medicine bag on the conveyor belt is labeled. Since the medicine bag has fallen and runs on the conveyor belt for a distance, the position and state consistency of the medicine bag are not ideal, which easily leads to inconsistent labeling position and skewness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the utility model provides a limiting device for labeling medicine bags, comprising:

[0031] The packaging component 2 is used to package the medicine bag 4 , and a funnel 10 is connected below the discharge channel 5 of the packaging component 2 .

[0032] The pause component 3 is provided with a funnel door panel 9 and a driving member at the discharge port of the funnel 10. One end of the funnel door panel 9 is provided close to the discharge port, and the funnel door panel 9 can rotate along the discharge port to close or open the discharge port. The other end of the funnel door panel 9 is connected to the driving member, and the driving member is fixedly installed on the funnel 10 to drive the funnel door panel 9 to rotate.

[0033] Wherein, a window for labeling is provided on the funnel door panel 9 .

[0034] When labeling, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the packaged medicine bag 4 enters the funnel 10 through the discharge channel 5 of the packaging component 2, and the funnel door plate 9 is driven by the driving member to rotate to close the discharge port of the discharge channel 5, and the medicine bag 4 fits with the funnel door plate 9, so that the medicine bag 4 temporarily stays in the funnel 10.

[0035] Afterwards, the label 16 is attached to the medicine bag 4 through the window on the funnel door panel 9 .

[0036] Moreover, in actual use, the size of the funnel 10 is adapted to the size of the medicine bag 4 so that when each medicine bag 4 stays in the funnel 10, the medicine bag 4 maintains the same unfolded state, thereby ensuring uniformity in the label attachment on the medicine bag 4.

[0037] In order to achieve efficient labeling of the medicine bag 4, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the device further includes a labeling assembly 1 for attaching a label 16 to the medicine bag 4 , and the labeling assembly 1 includes a label printer 101 and a pneumatic labeling machine 102 .

[0038] The label printer 101 is used to produce labels. During use, the model and style of the label 16 are first preset in the label printer 101. The label printer 101 prints the label and automatically discharges it to its discharge port.

[0039] The pneumatic labeling machine 102 is a telescopic cylinder, and there is no suction cup connected to the telescopic end of the pneumatic labeling machine 102. The pneumatic labeling machine 102 can drive the suction cup to adsorb the label on the suction cup when passing through the label discharge port of the label printer 101. Afterwards, the pneumatic labeling machine 102 pushes the label into the window on the funnel door panel 9 through the suction cup and presses it onto the medicine bag 4.

[0040] In order to realize the driving effect of the driving member on the funnel door plate 9, refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the specific implementation of the driving member is as follows: the driving member includes a motor 11 , a turntable 12 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 11 , and an eccentric shaft 15 is connected to the turntable 12 .

[0041] An extension rod 17 is connected to the funnel door plate 9 , and an elastic member 13 is connected to the extension rod 17 . Under the elastic force of the elastic member 13 , the side wall of the extension rod 17 is always in sliding contact with the eccentric shaft 15 .

[0042] During operation, the motor 11 drives the turntable 12 to rotate forward, and the turntable 12 drives the eccentric shaft 15 thereon to rotate synchronously. The eccentric shaft 15 presses the extension rod 17 to rotate and stores force on the elastic member 13. According to the principle of leverage, the extension rod 17 drives the funnel door panel 9 to rotate to open the discharge port of the funnel 10, and the labeled medicine bags 4 are discharged from the funnel 10 through the discharge port. After that, the motor 11 drives the turntable 12 to reverse back to its original position. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 13, the extension rod 17 reverses back to its original position. According to the principle of leverage, the extension rod 17 drives the funnel door panel 9 to rotate and close the discharge port of the funnel 10 again.

[0043] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 6 As shown, the elastic member 13 is a tension spring, and one end of the extension rod 18 away from the funnel door plate 9 is connected to the tension spring, and the other end of the tension spring 13 is fixedly connected to the frame 6 of the packaging assembly 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, a sensor 14 is provided at the discharge port of the funnel 10 , and the sensor 14 is used to monitor whether there is a medicine bag 4 at the discharge port of the funnel 10 , and the sensor 14 is communicatively connected with the motor 11 , the label printer 101 and the pneumatic labeling machine 102 through the controller.

[0045] During the labeling operation, after the sensor 14 detects the presence of a medicine bag 4 at the discharge port of the funnel 10, the label printer 101 prints the label, and then the pneumatic labeling machine 102 absorbs the label through the suction cup and attaches it to the medicine bag 4 through the window on the funnel door panel 9. After the labeling is completed, the motor 11 rotates in the opposite direction to make the funnel door panel 9 open the discharge port of the funnel 10, and the medicine bag 4 is discharged from the funnel 10. The sensor 14 detects that there is no medicine bag 4 in the funnel 10, and the motor 11 drives the funnel door panel 9 to close the discharge port of the funnel 10 again, and the next medicine bag 4 is discharged into the funnel 10, and so on.

[0046] In this implementation, refer to Figure 2As shown, a spring piece 8 is provided on the inner wall of the funnel 10, and a spring piece pressure plate 7 is provided between the spring piece 7 and the inner wall of the funnel 10. Under the elastic force of the spring piece pressure plate 7, one end of the spring piece 8 extends into the funnel 10 and presses the medicine bag 4 falling into the funnel 10.

[0047] When the medicine bag 4 falls to the discharge port in the funnel 10, the lower end of the medicine bag 4 abuts against the funnel door panel 9, and the side of the medicine bag 4 is pressed by the spring 8, thereby further maintaining the stability of the medicine bag 4, so that the subsequent labeling component can label the medicine bag 4.

[0048] Furthermore, by arranging spring pieces in the funnel 10 , when medicine bags 4 of different sizes fall into the funnel 10 , the spring pieces 8 constrain and limit the medicine bags 4 to maintain their positions in the funnel 10 .

[0049] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present application within the essence and scope of protection of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
