DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment of a simple dispensing device for traditional Chinese medicine components, the simple dispensing device is used to dispense small batches of mixed traditional Chinese medicine components pre-stored in the silo 2. It is particularly suitable for dispensing traditional Chinese medicine powder or fine granules and mixtures of the two. The operation requires manual assistance, but the operator will not come into contact with the mixed traditional Chinese medicine components during the entire operation, thereby effectively avoiding cross-contamination.
[0027] The main structure of the simple dispensing device includes a support frame, a dispenser, and a dispensing structure. The support frame is mainly used to provide structural support for the dispenser, while the dispensing structure is assembled at the outlet of the dispenser and is used to quantitatively dispense the material from the dispenser.
[0028] In this embodiment, the support includes a stabilizing seat 7 formed by an annular steel ring. A support leg 5 is welded to one side of the stabilizing seat 7. This support leg 5 is a telescopic support structure, and its length is adjusted by pulling and rotating the threaded telescopic joint 6 at the bottom of the support leg 5. When pulled to the selected length, the support leg height is locked by tightening the threaded telescopic joint 6. In this embodiment, support legs 5 of different heights can be used to adapt to material distribution structures with different lengths of connecting pipe sections 12. In some embodiments, considering structural costs and the fact that the material distribution structure is not frequently replaced, the corresponding support leg 5 can be set as a fixed-length steel structural rod.
[0029] The dispenser in this embodiment includes a hopper 2, which is designed as a cone-shaped structure to facilitate the smooth flow of materials. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the cone, and a discharge pipe 3 is correspondingly installed at this port to ensure that the traditional Chinese medicine components can be accurately discharged from the hopper 2. A sealing valve is built into the discharge pipe 3 to close the discharge port of the hopper 2 when necessary. The top surface of the hopper 2 is an open end, which serves as the feeding port for the corresponding materials. A sealing cover 1 is provided at the top opening of the hopper 2. This sealing cover 1 can be opened and closed to facilitate material feeding and maintain the dryness of the hopper's interior. Additionally, the inside of the sealing cover 1 is equipped with moisture-absorbing material to absorb any moisture that may enter the hopper, ensuring the dryness of the traditional Chinese medicine components.
[0030] In the embodiment, the material put into the bin 2 is premixed to ensure the uniformity of the composition of the material when it is divided. In another embodiment, a stirring device is also provided on the sealing cover 1, which extends into the bin and can effectively mix the material in the bin before or during the division to ensure the uniform distribution of the traditional Chinese medicine components. The stirring device can be manually or electrically driven, which is selected according to the actual needs.
[0031] The top of the leg 5 is shaped into an annular seat 4, and a threaded ejector pin 8 is formed on the sidewall of the annular seat 4. The discharge pipe 3 of the divider is correspondingly shaped into a plug-in part matching the size of the annular seat 4 at the discharge opening position, and can be tightly fitted by the threaded ejector pin 8 after plugging, so as to realize the fixed assembly of the divider and the bracket. By matching different dividers on the bracket, the division of traditional Chinese medicine components of different volumes, shapes and types can be realized.
[0032] The material division structure is the core part of the simple division device, which includes a connecting pipe section 12 and a quantitative discharge box body 13. The material division structure is a whole detachable structure at the lower part of the divider, and by detaching and replacing different material division structures, the quantitative discharge of traditional Chinese medicine component materials of different volumes can be realized.
[0033] In the embodiment, a special threaded joint seat 9 is formed at the upper end of the connecting pipe section 12 as a detachable assembly structure, and the corresponding end of the discharge pipe 3 is threaded to match the threaded joint interface, so that the material division structure can be detachably connected and assembled at the end of the discharge pipe 3 by threaded joint at the threaded joint seat 9, so that the whole material division structure is more convenient to disassemble and assemble. In another embodiment, the threaded joint assembly method and the threaded joint seat 9 structure can also be replaced by other connection methods available in the prior art, such as bayonet connection, flange connection, etc., to meet the use requirements of different occasions.
[0034] In the embodiment, a material falling speed regulating valve 10 is also provided on the threaded joint seat 9. The material falling speed regulating valve 10 can adjust the falling speed of the traditional Chinese medicine components, accurately control the flow of traditional Chinese medicine powder or particles, and ensure the stability and consistency of the division process to meet different division requirements. In addition, the material falling speed regulating valve 10 also has a dustproof function, which avoids the pollution of external dust to the traditional Chinese medicine components in the device.
[0035] The lower end of the connecting pipe section 12 is formed integrally with the quantitative dosing box body 13 and is in communication with the box cavity of the quantitative dosing box body 13 to ensure that the traditional Chinese medicine components are smoothly transferred from the dispensing device to the quantitative dosing box body 13. The box body of the quantitative dosing box body 13 is designed in the shape of a cuboid, and the box cavity surrounded by the box wall 17 in the box is in the shape of an oblong. A structure sliding block 20 is formed in the box cavity, and the structure sliding block 20 is also in the shape of an oblong, the width and height of which are consistent with the width and height of the cavity of the box cavity, and the length of which is smaller than the length of the box cavity. The above structure enables the structure sliding block 20 to reciprocally slide in the box cavity.
[0036] In order to improve the sliding smoothness of the structure sliding block 20 in the box cavity, the inner wall of the box wall 17 is subjected to surface smoothing treatment, and a guide sliding groove 19 is further formed on each side of the bottom surface of the box wall 17. The lower surface of the structure sliding block 20 is formed with a guide sliding seat matched with the guide sliding groove 19 to reduce the sliding resistance of the structure sliding block 20 in the box cavity.
[0037] The structure sliding block 20 of the present embodiment is formed with a quantitative dosing hole 21 with an inner diameter consistent with the inner diameter of the connecting pipe section 12 at the front side, and a material falling prevention allowance is reserved at the rear side. The quantitative dosing hole 21 is a cylindrical hole penetrating from top to bottom, and the corresponding box body 13 is provided with a dosing port 18 with a hole diameter consistent with that of the quantitative dosing hole 21 at the bottom of the front side of the box body. By moving the structure sliding block 20, the quantitative dosing hole 21 on the structure sliding block 20 can be switched in position below the connecting pipe section 12 and below the dosing port 18, so as to realize the position transfer of the material in the box cavity of the quantitative dosing box body 13.
[0038] A pulling handle 14 is provided on one side of the quantitative dosing box body 13, the handle passes through the box wall 17 of the quantitative dosing box body 13 through a connecting rod 15, and is integrally connected with the structure sliding block 20. The operator realizes the position switching of the structure sliding block 20 by pulling the pulling handle 14, so as to control the opening and closing of the quantitative dosing hole 21.
[0039] When the simple dispensing device of the present embodiment is used to dispense traditional Chinese medicine components, the mixture material falls into the material dispensing structure through the discharge pipe 3 and is sent into the quantitative dosing box body 13 through the connecting pipe section 12. In the initial state, the structure sliding block 20 in the quantitative dosing box body 13 is located below the connecting pipe section 12, and the quantitative dosing hole 21 receives the material falling from the connecting pipe section 12. When the material in the quantitative dosing hole 21 is full, the pulling handle 14 is pushed to move the quantitative dosing hole 21 to the position of the dosing port 18 and unload the material. During the displacement of the structure sliding block 20, the material falling prevention allowance reserved at the rear side of the structure sliding block 20 can continuously block the outlet of the connecting pipe section 12 to prevent the mixture material from falling into the box cavity of the quantitative dosing box body 13.
[0040] In the embodiment, the connecting pipe section 12 is integrally arranged as a hose structure, and in order to prevent the material from being blocked in the connecting pipe section 12, a loop 11 is formed in the middle position of the corresponding connecting pipe section 12 as a bouncing mechanism, and the operator can continuously hit the loop 11 with hands during the material falling process, so as to relieve the blocking phenomenon by bouncing the outer part of the hose section through the loop 11.
[0041] In addition, in the embodiment, the quantitative feeding box body 13 is formed with a feeding port clamping port 16 at the box body lower surface position corresponding to the feeding port 18, the feeding port clamping port 16 can be used to disassemble and assemble the discharging chute, and through the discharging chute, the traditional Chinese medicine components can be smoothly discharged from the quantitative feeding box body 13 to the small package received at the end of the discharging chute.
[0042] Through the above design, the simple and easy sub-packaging device not only has simple structure and convenient operation, but also through the combination design of the quantitative feeding box body 13 and the structure sliding block 20, the sub-packaging of the traditional Chinese medicine powder or particles is more accurate, and the problem of uneven sub-packaging that may occur during manual sub-packaging is avoided. At the same time, the various components are easy to disassemble and assemble, convenient to maintain and clean, and different volumes of quantitative feeding can be realized by replacing the sub-feeding structure with different sizes of quantitative feeding holes, effectively meeting the market demand for rapid sub-packaging.
[0043] The basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model are shown and described above. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principle of the utility model, and various changes and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the utility model claimed.
