Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicinal material conveyor technology, specifically a feeding structure for a Chinese medicinal material conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] A conveyor is a mechanical device that can continuously and stably transport materials. It typically consists of a drive unit, a load-bearing section, a support and guiding section, and an adjustment section. Conveyors are used in multiple stages of the processing of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs. When TCM herbs need to be transported, they are poured into the transport bin of a chain conveyor through the feed inlet.

[0003] In related technologies, sieve plates are used for filtering Chinese medicinal materials during the feeding and screening process. The sieve plates are fixedly connected to sliders. However, each type of Chinese medicinal material may have a different shape and size, and the fixed connection between the sieve plate and sliders only allows for the filtering of one type of medicinal material. This limits the conveyor's ability to process different types of medicinal materials, leading to unnecessary loss or damage during transport and reduced production efficiency. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a feeding structure for a Chinese medicinal material conveyor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A feeding structure for a Chinese medicinal herb conveyor includes:

[0030] The feed box 1 has a collection box 2 on one side and a discharge port 18 on one side. A protective cover 19 is provided at the discharge port 18. A connecting groove 20 for the collection box 2 to be engaged and connected is provided inside the protective cover 19. An arc-shaped part 21 is provided on the collection box 2. An arc-shaped groove 22 for the arc-shaped part 21 to be engaged is provided on the protective cover 19. A discharge port 3 is provided at the lower end of the feed box 1. A feed cover 4 is provided at the upper end of the feed box 1.

[0031] Chinese medicinal materials can enter the feeding box 1 through the feeding hood 4. The collection box 2 can collect the screened medicinal materials. When the collection box 2 is connected to the protective cover 19, the arc-shaped part 21 is engaged in the arc-shaped groove 22, which can engage the collection box 2 in the protective cover 19.

[0032] The moving frame 5 and the feed box 1 have fixed plates 6 on both sides of the inner cavity. A buffer spring 7 is provided between the fixed plate 6 and the moving frame 5. A screen 8 is locked inside the moving frame 5. A mounting groove 9 is opened at one end of the screen 8. A reset spring 10 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 9. A locking block 11 is provided at one end of the reset spring 10. A locking groove 12 for locking the locking block 11 is opened on the moving frame 5.

[0033] When the screen 8 is fixed in the moving frame 5, press the locking block 11, and the screen 8 will lock in the moving frame 5. The return spring 10 releases its elastic potential energy, which can push the locking block 11 to lock in the locking groove 12, thus fixing the screen 8 on the moving frame 5. The screen 8 can be replaced according to different medicinal materials, making the processing of Chinese medicinal materials more flexible and diverse, and making the screening process more efficient and accurate.

[0034] The feed box 1 has an inspection port 30 on one side, and an inspection door 32 is installed at the inspection port 30 by mounting bolts 31.

[0035] The inspection port 30 facilitates the removal and replacement of the screen 8. When removing the screen 8, press the locking block 11 and then remove the screen 8 from the moving frame 5. Remove the mounting bolts 31 to remove the inspection door 32.

[0036] Furthermore, limiting blocks 16 are fixedly provided on both sides of the moving frame 5, and limiting grooves 17 are provided on both sides of the feed box 1 for the limiting blocks 16 to slide and connect.

[0037] When the moving frame 5 moves, the limiting block 16 moves within the limiting groove 17, which can limit the movement path of the moving frame 5.

[0038] The lower end of the movable frame 5 is provided with a toggle assembly, which includes two cams 23. The two cams 23 are rotatably connected to the feed box 1 through a rotating rod 24, and the discharge port 3 is rotatably connected to the discharge slurry 13.

[0039] The transport mechanism includes a transport frame 14, on which a transport belt 15 is mounted. The transport belt 15, the actuating component, and the feed slurry 13 are connected by a transmission component. The transport belt 15 is rotatably connected to the transport frame 14 via a transport roller 33. The transmission component includes a servo motor 25, two first pulleys 26, and two second pulleys 27. The two first pulleys 26 are respectively connected to the transport roller 33 and the feed slurry 13. The two second pulleys 27 are respectively connected to one of the first pulleys 26 and the rotating rod 24. The two first pulleys 26 are connected by a first transmission belt 28, and the two second pulleys 27 are connected by a second transmission belt 29.

[0040] During the feeding and transportation of Chinese medicinal materials, the servo motor 25 drives the feeding slurry 13 to rotate via two first pulleys 26 and a first transmission belt 28. The feeding slurry 13 ensures that the Chinese medicinal materials are fed evenly. Furthermore, the two second pulleys 27 and the second transmission belt 29 simultaneously drive the rotating rod 24 to rotate. The rotation drives the cam 23 to rotate, which in turn pushes the screen 8 to move up and down, allowing the screen 8 to screen the Chinese medicinal materials and separate those with similar particle sizes. This ensures the consistency and stability of product quality and effectively removes some impurities, improving the purity and quality of the medicinal materials.

[0041] Then the Chinese medicinal materials fall onto the conveyor belt 15 through the discharge port 3, and the conveyor belt 15 can transport the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
