For example, a new micro loss of weight scale with the application number 201820166573.5 discloses a stirring barrel, which is in an inverted conical shape. The bottom of the stirring barrel is connected to a screw feeding device. The connection between the two is not smooth. The screw feeding device at the bottom of the conical stirring barrel is expanded to form a spherical shape. In this way, material accumulation is likely to occur at the excessive position of the two. Moreover, the inner wall of the conical stirring barrel is also likely to support the material, resulting in material accumulation.
[0003] Another application number 202320548376.0 discloses a micro additive loss of weight type feeding scale, which has a cylindrical weighing bin. The bottom of the weighing bin is connected to an electronic loss of weight scale in a planar manner. The inside of the weighing bin also has a large accumulation dead angle.
[0004] As can be seen, the existing loss of weight scale has an accumulation dead angle in the external structure and internal cavity. Material is likely to accumulate and deteriorate. Moreover, the material bin is not easy to clean and wash. Disassembly is cumbersome and inconvenient for maintenance. Generally, the loss of weight scale commonly seen on the market has a high material residue rate of 90%. In the scenario where the material needs to be replaced, the material will be wasted.

The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical scheme of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present application.
[0020] A micro loss weight scale used in the pharmaceutical industry, as shown in Figure 1 , 2 , includes a weighing table 1 and an electric control cabinet 19. The upper plane of the electric control cabinet 19 is provided with a mounting platform 20. The weighing table 1 is arranged on the mounting platform 20. The design of the electric control cabinet 19 and its mounting platform 20 provides more concentrated control and support structure, making the whole system more compact and efficient.
[0021] A transversely arranged stirring and conveying device 2 is arranged on the weighing table 1. A material bin 3 is arranged on the stirring and conveying device 2. The medicine is placed in the material bin 3 for loss weighing. The material bin 3 includes a spherical hopper 4 and a cylindrical hopper 5. An opening on the cylindrical hopper 5 is provided with a hopper cover 15. The cylindrical hopper 5 and the hopper cover 15 are connected through an upper sanitary clamp 16. After the medicine is loaded, the hopper cover can be closed, and then sealed through the upper sanitary clamp 16 to prevent the medicine from being affected by air and moisture.
[0022] The bottom of the spherical hopper 4 is a hemispherical bottom 7. The upper side of the hemispherical bottom 7 is connected with a cylindrical barrel 6. The cylindrical hopper 5 is in a cylindrical shape. The diameter of the cylindrical barrel 6 is the same as that of the cylindrical hopper 5. The cylindrical hopper 5 is detachably installed on the upper part of the spherical hopper 4. The inside of the material bin 3 forms a vertical inner side wall and a hemispherical inner bottom wall connected with the inner side wall. The improved design adopts the spherical hopper 4 and the hemispherical bottom 7, so that the inside of the material bin 3 forms a vertical inner side wall and a hemispherical inner bottom wall connected with the inner side wall. This design can maximize the reduction of material accumulation in the corners or non-smooth transition areas, improve the efficiency of material conveying, and reduce the risk of material deterioration. The redesigned micro loss weight scale screw has less material residue and a conveying rate of 96%.
[0023] Further, the stirring and conveying device 2 comprises a gear box 8, a stirring shaft 9 and a conveying screw 10, which are arranged horizontally, the stirring shaft 9 is located above the conveying screw 10, the stirring shaft 9 extends into the interior of the spherical hopper 4 from the tangent connection of the cylindrical barrel 6 and the hemispherical bottom 7 and applies horizontal stirring to the interior material. The stirring shaft 9 is located above the conveying screw 10 and extends into the interior of the spherical hopper 4 from the tangent connection of the cylindrical barrel 6 and the hemispherical bottom 7, which can effectively stir the material in the horizontal direction, ensure the uniformity of the material, and help prevent the material from accumulating at the bottom.
[0024] Further, the conveying screw 10 is connected to the bottom of the spherical hopper 4, the end of the conveying screw 10 extends out of the weighing platform 1 and is provided with a discharge pipe 11 vertically; the other end of the conveying screw 10 and the stirring shaft 9 are both connected to the interior of the driving end of the stirring and conveying device 2, and the driving end is provided with a dust cover 12 outside. When the conveying screw 10 operates, it can convey the medicine from the bottom of the spherical hopper 4 to the outside, and then the upper medicine falls under the action of gravity and horizontal stirring to supplement, thereby improving the conveying rate of the medicine, reducing the dead angle, and further reducing the residue of the medicine.
[0025] Further, the closed shaft sleeves outside the stirring shaft 9 and the conveying screw 10 are fixedly connected with the shell of the spherical hopper 4, the two closed shaft sleeves are detachably connected with the driving end, and the end of the closed shaft sleeve is connected with the driving end through a drive shaft sanitary clamp 13.

Similarly, the spherical hopper 4 and the cylindrical hopper 5 are connected through a lower sanitary clamp 14, the mechanical structure of the redesigned material contact part has no accumulation dead angle in the external structure and internal cavity, and when cleaning and maintaining, the structure of the material contact part can be disassembled by disassembling the two sanitary clamps and the conveying screw 10, which is convenient and fast.
[0026] Further, the lower end of the discharge pipe 11 extends into a sleeve pipe 17, and the two are connected in a non-contact sleeve manner, and the lower end of the sleeve pipe 17 is provided with a flexible connection 18. The sleeve pipe 17 is designed without contact with the discharge pipe 11, one side of the installation platform 20 is provided with a support frame 21 connected to the sleeve pipe 17 for positioning the position. The weight of the sleeve pipe 17 can be avoided to affect the accurate weighing of the medicine, and the micro-weighing scale is optimized in structure, and the measurement accuracy can reach ±0.4%.
[0027] Further, the side wall of the cylindrical hopper 5 is provided with an observation window 22. The observation window 22 provided on the side wall of the cylindrical hopper 5 facilitates the monitoring of the material condition by the operator, and timely discovery and solution of problems.
