Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weighing medicinal materials, specifically an adjustable medicine hopper. Background Technology
[0002] A medicine container is used to hold medicinal herbs and is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. In the process of dispensing traditional Chinese medicine, prescriptions typically consist of multiple herbs combined in different proportions. When writing a prescription, each herb must be weighed separately, then placed sequentially into the medicine container or onto a piece of paper before packaging for the patient's use. However, traditional medicine containers have some problems in use. For example, they lack internal dividers, making it impossible to weigh all herbs simultaneously (after weighing one herb, the weight is zeroed before weighing another). Herbs are easily mixed during weighing, and if too much of one herb is weighed, it cannot be retrieved, leading to inaccurate proportions, affecting prescription quality and dispensing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable medicine container that allows for independent storage of medicinal materials within the container. The compartments can be adjusted according to the quantity and size of each medicinal material, thereby improving the adaptability and ease of use of the medicine container.
[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] An adjustable medicine hopper, the main body of which is a medicine hopper, has a discharge trough for pouring medicinal materials connected to the side wall of the medicine hopper, and an adjustable divider is detachably installed on the inner side of the medicine hopper;
[0006] The adjustable divider includes several first divider plates extending forward and backward and several second divider plates; the several first divider plates are arranged sequentially with left and right intervals inside the medicine hopper, and the upper side of the first divider plate has multiple upward-facing insertion slots that are spaced apart along its length.
[0007] The second partition plate is horizontally inserted on the upper side of each of the first partition plates, and the lower side of the second partition plate is provided with a matching groove that is inserted into the corresponding insertion groove; a number of the second partition plates are arranged at intervals.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0009] 1. By setting an adjustable divider, the herbs in the medicine container can be stored independently, avoiding mixing. Furthermore, the first and second dividers are interlocked, allowing the adjustable divider to adjust the dividing area according to the quantity and size of each herb, facilitating the storage of herbs of different sizes and improving the adaptability and ease of use of the medicine container.
[0010] 2. The combination of the discharge chute and the arc-shaped chamfer can guide the medicinal materials in the medicine hopper to flow smoothly, further improving the efficiency of dispensing. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The second partition plate 32 is horizontally inserted on the upper side of each first partition plate 31, and the lower side of the second partition plate 32 is provided with a matching groove 320 that is inserted into the corresponding insertion groove 310; a plurality of the second partition plates 32 are arranged at intervals.
[0023] The side wall of the medicine container 1 is provided with a slot 100 for inserting and sliding the first partition plate 31 and the second partition plate 32 at both ends.
[0024] Several insertion slots 310 are arranged at equal intervals.
[0025] The distance between the foremost insertion slot 310 on the first partition plate 31 and the front end of the first partition plate 31 is equal to twice the distance between two adjacent insertion slots 310.
[0026] The height of the first partition plate 31 is equal to the height of the second partition plate 32; the length of the insertion slot 310 is equal to the length of the matching slot 320, and the length of the insertion slot 310 is equal to 1 / 2 of the height of the first partition plate 31.
