[0025] Figure 6The figure shows a top discharge hopper with a built-in stirring device. A motor drive mechanism is provided on the right outer wall of the lower feed port of the hopper 101: a bearing seat 104 with a bearing 105 is fixed to the outer wall of the hopper, a motor 102 is mounted on a frame or the outer wall of the hopper via a fixing plate 7, a motor shaft is mounted on a bearing 105 in a horizontal direction, a driving shaft 103 is fixed to the motor shaft on the same axis as the driving shaft via a flat key set, and the driving shaft extends from the outside to the inside through the opening of the hopper. into the inner cavity of the hopper, and a sealing ring 106 is provided between the driving shaft and the bearing seat 1; a driven shaft rotation mechanism is provided on the left outer wall of the lower feed port of the hopper: the bearing seat 2 1010 equipped with the bearing 2 1011 is fixed to the outer wall of the hopper, and another driven shaft 108 is installed on the bearing 2 1011, and the other driven shaft passes through the opening of the hopper from the outside to the inside in the same horizontal direction as the motor shaft and extends into the inner cavity of the hopper, and another sealing ring 1013 is provided between the other driven shaft and the bearing seat 2;

[0028] Working process:

[0029] 1. When the reclaimer starts to move, the stirring device starts to move synchronously.

[0030] 2. The motor drives the driving shaft to rotate, the driving shaft drives the stirring shaft to rotate, and the stirring shaft drives the medicinal materials in the hopper to move, avoiding the formation of material bridges and allowing the medicinal materials to fall smoothly.

[0031] 3. When the reclaimer stops working, the stirring device also stops working synchronously.

[0032] The motor in the upper discharging and medicine taking device drives the composite conveyor belt to rotate. The baffle on the composite conveyor belt takes the medicinal slices out of the hopper like a spoon, passes through the limiting spring piece and the inner material cover, and the excess medicinal slices are blocked in the hopper under the action of the limiting spring piece and the inner material cover, so that the baffle usually only takes out one or one medicinal slice, thereby achieving the requirement of accurate measurement.

[0033] The motor in the lower discharge and medicine dispensing device drives the composite conveyor belt to rotate. The steel nails on the composite conveyor belt carry the medicinal slices out and pass through the pressure roller assembly on the hopper. Under the action of the pressure roller, the excess medicinal slices are blocked in the hopper, ensuring that the steel nails only carry out medicinal slices of a certain height, thereby achieving the requirement of accurate measurement. The medicinal slices pass through the discharge cover and fall into the scale pan in the metering, pushing and flipping device. When the weight of the medicinal slices on the medicine pan on the scale pan is greater than or equal to the set value for the rough medicine dispensing, the lower discharge and medicine dispensing device begins to jog and dispensing medicine. When the required weight is reached, the metering and pushing device stops measuring, the lower discharge and medicine dispensing device stops operating, and the stirring device stops stirring.
