[0002] In the pharmaceutical and health product industries of traditional Chinese medicine, processed medicinal herbs are widely used in the preparation of various Chinese medicine preparations. To ensure the quality and efficacy of processed medicinal herbs, the preparation process must be strictly controlled, especially the material separation and weighing stages before pressing.

[0003] Traditional methods of separating and weighing raw materials before pressing medicinal slices rely heavily on manual operation, which has several shortcomings. First, manual separation and weighing are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, failing to meet the demands of large-scale production. Second, manual operation is prone to errors during separation and weighing, leading to inconsistent quality of the medicinal slices and affecting the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Furthermore, manual operation presents hygiene and safety issues, increasing the risk of contamination of the medicinal slices.

[0004] With the development of technology, automated material sorting and weighing equipment has been gradually introduced into the preparation process of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. However, these devices still have some problems in practical applications. For example, the sorting accuracy of some devices is not high, resulting in large weight differences between decoction pieces, which cannot meet the strict requirements for weight error of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. In addition, the weighing system of some devices is not stable enough and is easily affected by external environmental interference, affecting the accuracy of weighing. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a herbal slice pressing, dispensing, and weighing device, including: a feeding mechanism, which includes a base 1, a support 2, a feeding disc 3, and a vibrating element 4. The support 2 is disposed on the base 1, the feeding disc 3 is disposed on the support 2, and the vibrating element 4 is disposed on the base 1, with the output end of the vibrating element 4 connected to the feeding disc 3. A guide plate 5 for spiral feeding is disposed inside the feeding disc 3; and a weighing mechanism, which includes a guide cylinder 6 for accommodating the raw material to be pressed, a feeding element, and a weighing element. The input end of the guide cylinder 6 is located at the output end of the guide plate 5, the feeding element is disposed at the bottom of the guide cylinder 6, and the weighing element is connected to the guide cylinder 6. The weighing element is used to obtain the weight of the guide cylinder 6 and the raw material to be pressed.

[0028] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism is used to uniformly feed the raw material to be pressed, facilitating subsequent weighing and pressing. The base 1 is used to mount the bracket 2, which supports the feeding disc 3. Under the action of the vibrating element 4, the material on the feeding disc 3 is continuously vibrated, thus being transported in an orderly manner along the disc surface. The vibration generated by the vibrating element 4 also helps to disperse the material, preventing it from accumulating or sticking together on the disc surface. By controlling the frequency of the vibrating element 4, the feeding rate can be controlled, facilitating batch weighing of the raw material to be pressed. The spirally arranged guide plate 5 guides the material to flow along a specific path, ensuring that the material can enter the next processing stage in an orderly and stable manner.

[0029] In this embodiment, the weighing mechanism is used to feed the raw materials output by the feeding mechanism, and after weighing, they are placed into the pressing station. Specifically, the guide cylinder 6 is used to temporarily store the raw materials to be weighed. The feed rate of the raw materials is controlled according to the quality of the pressed slices, and after weighing an appropriate amount, they are placed into the pressing station. The feeding element is used to place the weighed raw materials to be pressed into the next station. The weighing element is used to obtain the weight of the feeding element, the guide cylinder 6, and the raw materials to be pressed, and outputs the mass of the raw materials to be pressed after depreciating the fixed weight of the feeding element and the guide cylinder 6.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the weighing element includes a stand 7 and a weighing force sensor 8. The stand 7 is disposed on the base 1, and the weighing force sensor 8 is disposed between the stand 7 and the guide cylinder 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, the aforementioned support frame 7 is used to install and fix the aforementioned guide cylinder 6, facilitating the entire weighing operation. The aforementioned weighing force sensor 8 is used to obtain the total mass of the feeding element, the guide cylinder 6, and the raw material to be pressed, and then directly tare and output the mass of the raw material to be pressed.

[0032] It should be noted that the weighing force sensor 8 is actually a device that converts a mass signal into a measurable electrical signal output. It is mainly used in electronic scales to achieve force-to-electrical conversion. The working principle of the weighing force sensor 8 is based on an elastic body. Under the action of external force, it undergoes elastic deformation, causing the resistance strain gauge attached to its surface to deform accordingly. After the resistance strain gauge deforms, its resistance value changes. This change in resistance is then converted into an electrical signal by the corresponding measuring circuit, thus completing the process of converting external force into an electrical signal.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-3In some embodiments of this utility model, the feeding element includes two semi-circular plates 9 respectively rotatably disposed on the guide cylinder 6 and a drive for driving the semi-circular plates 9. The two semi-circular plates 9 form baffles at the bottom of the guide cylinder 6, and a drive member 10 for driving the semi-circular plates 9 to rotate is provided on the guide cylinder 6.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two semicircular plates 9 form baffles at the bottom of the guide cylinder 6. These baffles cooperate with the guide cylinder 6 to form a trough structure. When the two semicircular plates 9 are closed, they are used to detect the quality of the material in the guide plate 5. When they are open, the feeding mechanism stops operating and directly conveys the weighed material to the next operating station. The driving component 10 is used to synchronously drive the two guide plates 5 to separate or retract, thereby controlling the feeding of materials.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of this example, the driving component 10 is a hydraulic rod, with its two ends hinged to the guide cylinder 6 and the semi-circular plate 9, respectively.

[0036] In this embodiment, the driving component 10 is a hydraulic rod, which drives the opening and closing of the baffle through its telescopic function. When material needs to be fed, the hydraulic rod extends, pushing the baffle to open; when the baffle needs to be closed to prevent material feeding, the hydraulic rod retracts, closing the baffle. The hydraulic rod provides stable and controllable power output, ensuring that the baffle moves smoothly and accurately during opening and closing, preventing material from scattering or being damaged due to unstable baffle movement. The hydraulic rod can adapt to different working environments and conditions, such as high temperature, high pressure, and humid environments, ensuring that the baffle can still open and close normally under these conditions.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of this example, the output end of the feeding element is provided with a receiving hopper 11 for guiding materials, and the inlet end of the receiving hopper 11 is provided with a conical hopper 12.

[0038] In this embodiment, the receiving hopper 11 is used to receive the material output from the feeding element. The conical hopper 12 is designed to naturally guide the material flow to its bottom outlet, thereby achieving material concentration and guidance. This design helps ensure that the material does not scatter or deviate from the predetermined path during the feeding process. Secondly, the inclined design of the conical hopper 12 helps reduce material accumulation and blockage. When the material is output from the feeding element, it slides down the inclined surface of the conical hopper 12, thereby reducing the possibility of it staying and accumulating inside the hopper.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this example, the output end of the receiving hopper 11 is provided with a tilting plate 13 for feeding and a drive motor 14. Both the tilting plate 13 and the drive motor 14 are mounted on the upright frame 7, and the output end of the drive motor 14 is connected to the tilting plate 13.

[0040] In this embodiment, the aforementioned flip plate 13 is used to guide the material output from the receiving hopper 11. When the weighed material is within the error range of a single batch of medicinal slices, the material is transported to the pressing station. If it exceeds the error range, the material is flipped and guided to the other side for easy secondary feeding.

[0041] In use, the raw materials to be pressed are conveyed into the feeding disc 3, and the vibrating element 4 is driven to work. Under the action of the vibrating element 4, the material on the feeding disc 3 is continuously vibrated and stimulated, so that it is conveyed in an orderly manner along the guide plate 5 on the inner wall of the disc. The material output by the vibrating element 4 in one go is sent to the guide cylinder 6. After weighing, if it is within the error range, it is conveyed to the pressing station of the raw materials. Otherwise, the material can be recovered by driving the flip plate 13 to guide the material through the reverse drive of the drive motor 14.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
