Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine production technology, and in particular to a single-dose dispensing station. Background Technology
[0002] Decoctions align with the principles of TCM diagnosis and treatment, allowing for adjustments based on individual symptoms. Besides being simple to prepare, having a wide range of solvent sources, and being non-irritating and without side effects, decoctions also possess the advantages of liquid preparations, namely rapid absorption and quick efficacy. Decoctions are the most widely used dosage form in clinical practice.
[0003] In the early stages of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, food utensils were often used for decocting medicine. In ancient times, due to the easy availability of raw materials and low manufacturing costs, pottery was widely used for decocting medicine. At the same time, pottery vessels have stable chemical properties and have always been the main utensil for decocting medicine.
[0004] With the development of the times and the advancement of urbanization, the practice of individuals decocting traditional Chinese medicine at home has gradually become a burden due to various constraints, leading to the development of decoction services for traditional Chinese medicine in various regions. Because traditional Chinese medicine decoctions are based on syndrome differentiation and individualized prescriptions, production relies heavily on manual labor. Current decoction machines mostly use cloth bags for decocting; however, the insoluble nature of the wrapped ingredients, coupled with the squeezing and solid-liquid separation after decoction, causes some insoluble particles to enter the liquid, seriously affecting the quality of the decoction. Furthermore, using cloth bags for soaking and decocting makes it difficult to ensure the effective components of the medicinal materials dissolve, thus affecting efficacy. Large-scale decoction centers urgently need to introduce intelligent decoction equipment that follows traditional decoction processes to meet the growing demand for decoction services and high-quality decoction services, improve decoction quality and management, and promote the high-quality development of the decoction industry.
[0005] When decocting traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to first prepare the herbs by weighing out the corresponding weights of the herbs of the appropriate variety, and then mixing them together for decoction. Currently, the manual preparation of herbs involves weighing each herb individually on a weighing stand using an electronic scale, resulting in a slow preparation process. Utility Model Content
[0006] The present invention aims to provide a single-dose dispensing station that can weigh multiple medicinal herbs simultaneously, thereby solving the problem of slow dispensing speed caused by the existing station having only one electronic scale, which means that only one medicinal herb can be dispensed at a time.
[0007] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: a single-dose dispensing station, including an electronic scale, characterized in that it further includes a frame, the electronic scale including a display screen for displaying the weight of the weighed object, a scale body, and a weighing pan located on the scale body, the frame being provided with at least two of the electronic scales, the scale body and the display screen being separately fixed to the frame. This allows for the independent weighing of multiple doses of beverages simultaneously on a single frame.
[0008] Preferably, the electronic scale has two rows, arranged front-to-back, with scales in the same row arranged left-to-right. The rear end of the platform has a raised strip extending front-to-back. The displays of the scales in the front row are located at the front of the scales, while the displays of the scales in the rear row are located on the raised strip. This design facilitates the handling of medicinal herbs on the weighing pan, and the displays are not obstructed by the weighing pan, preventing inconvenience in reading.
[0009] Preferably, the front surface of the raised strip is an upwardly inclined slope, and the display screen of the rear-row electronic scale is set on the front surface of the raised strip. This allows for convenient reading of the readings of the rear-row electronic scales.
[0010] Preferably, the weighing pan includes a bottom wall and a side wall disposed on the bottom wall, with a discharge port on one side of the side wall. This increases the storage capacity of the weighing pan and facilitates the removal of medicinal slices.
[0011] Preferably, the sidewall includes a second sidewall and two opposing first sidewalls, the second sidewall blocking an opening formed at one end of the two first sidewalls, and the other end of the two first sidewalls forming the discharge port. The structure is compact.
[0012] Preferably, the distance between the two first sidewalls gradually increases from the end where the discharge port is located to the end where the second sidewall is located. This improves the convenience of removing the medicinal slices from the weighing pan.
[0013] Preferably, the upper surface of the scale body is provided with a spherical recess, and the lower surface of the scale pan is provided with a spherical protrusion. The spherical protrusion passes through the spherical recess and supports the scale pan on the scale body, allowing the scale pan to be detachably placed on the scale body. The scale pan can be conveniently and reliably supported on the scale body.
[0014] Preferably, the four corners of the platform are provided with support pads, which are made of rubber. This reduces noise when moving the device and improves its shock absorption effect.
[0015] Preferably, the lower surface of the support pad is provided with anti-slip protrusions. This improves the stability of the present invention during installation.
[0016] Preferably, the lower surface of the support pad is provided with a plurality of storage recesses, and the anti-slip protrusion is connected to the storage recesses and extends out of the storage recesses. The periphery of the opening end of each storage recess is provided with an annular scraper blade extending circumferentially along the opening of the storage recess. This allows dust and other foreign objects at the location of the support pad to be removed into the storage recesses of the support pad during leveling, thereby facilitating leveling according to this invention.
[0017] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: it can weigh multiple Chinese herbal medicine leaves independently at the same time. Attached Figure Description
