[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] This embodiment provides a weighing-type traditional Chinese medicine dispensing device, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the weighing-type Chinese medicine dispensing device includes a cabinet 1.

[0031] The cabinet 1 is equipped with a feeding hopper 2. The top of the feeding hopper 2 is equipped with a dispensing mechanism 3 for storing and dispensing medicine in a quantitative manner. The front of the cabinet 1 is provided with a medicine dispensing port 11. A medicine dispensing box 111 is placed below the outlet of the feeding hopper 2 in the medicine dispensing port 11.

[0032] The dispensing mechanism 3 includes a first support plate 31 fixedly connected to the top of the hopper 2 and a second support plate 32 located below the first support plate 31, at least four cartridges 33 longitudinally penetrating the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 32 and distributed in a rectangular array, a weighing sensor 36 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cartridges 33 and connected at both ends to the first support plate 31 and the cartridges 33 respectively, and an electrically controlled discharge valve 34 fixedly installed at the bottom outlet of the cartridges 33, wherein the cartridges 33 are slidably connected to the second support plate 32.

[0033] The front of the cabinet 1 has a control window 14 above the medicine dispensing port 11. A touch screen 4 is fixedly installed inside the control window 14. The side of the cabinet 1 has a host 5 that is bidirectionally connected to the touch screen 4. The output end of the weighing sensor 36 is connected to the host 5, and the input end of the electrically controlled discharge valve 34 is connected to the output end of the host 5.

[0034] In use, the user inputs the traditional Chinese medicine formula through the touch screen 4, the host 5 analyzes the formula information, and controls the corresponding electrically controlled discharge valve 34 to open. The traditional Chinese medicine falls into the discharge hopper 2 from the cartridge 33, and enters the dispensing box 111 through the discharge hopper 2. During discharging, the weighing sensor 36 monitors the discharging amount of each traditional Chinese medicine in real time, and feeds back the data to the host 5. When the required dose of a certain traditional Chinese medicine is reached, the host 5 closes the discharging channel of the traditional Chinese medicine through the electrically controlled discharge valve 34. After all the traditional Chinese medicines are dispensed, the user can take out the dispensing box 111.

[0035] The second support plate 32 and the first support plate 31 are fixedly connected with a limiting sliding rod 321 which is equidistantly arranged around the cartridge 33. The cartridge 33 has a sliding block 331 which is slidingly connected with the limiting sliding rod 321. The cooperation between the sliding block 331 and the limiting sliding rod 321 makes the up-down movement of the cartridge 33 more smooth, reduces the friction and resistance, improves the stability of the cartridge 33 during dispensing, and avoids the inaccuracy of the dose caused by the shaking of the cartridge.

[0036] Further, the bottom end of the weighing sensor 36 is fixedly installed on the ear piece 332 on the side surface of the cartridge 33 through the second connecting rod 362. The top end of the weighing sensor 36 is rotatably connected with the first connecting rod 361 which penetrates the top surface of the first support plate 31. The top end of the first connecting rod 361 is screwed with the anti-loosening nut 3611 which is in contact with the top surface of the first support plate 31. This installation mode enables the weighing sensor 36 to accurately measure the weight of the cartridge 33 and the traditional Chinese medicine inside the cartridge 33, improves the accuracy of weighing, and prevents the first connecting rod 361 from loosening or falling off during long-term use, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the device. Meanwhile, when the weighing sensor 36 deviates, the tightness can be adjusted by screwing the anti-loosening nut 3611, thereby ensuring the accuracy of weighing.

[0037] It can be understood that the outlet ends of the cartridges 33 are all located inside the top end of the discharge hopper 2, which ensures that the traditional Chinese medicine can accurately fall into the discharge hopper 2 during discharging, and ensures the stability and safety.

[0038] Further, the cabinet 1 is provided with a host maintenance door 12 for maintaining the host. The host maintenance door 12 improves the maintainability of the device, and facilitates timely troubleshooting and maintenance.

[0039] Further, the top end of each cartridge 33 is screwed with a cartridge cover 35. The top end of the cabinet 1 is hingedly connected with a top cover 13 for protecting the cartridges 33, and the top cover 13 is locked with the cabinet 1 through a spring lock 131. The top end of each cartridge 33 is screwed with a cartridge cover 35 for closing the cartridge 33, preventing dust and sundries from entering, and the top cover 13 is used to protect the cartridges 33. The design of the spring lock 131 makes the opening and closing of the top cover 13 more convenient and fast, and ensures the stability of the top cover 13 when it is closed.

[0040] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and concept of the present application within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
