AI Technical Summary
Existing vibrating screens cannot effectively sort the thickness of Chinese herbal medicine slices, resulting in low grading efficiency.
A thickness sorting component, including a straight slide and a barrier bar, is set up before the vibrating screener. The thickness is sorted by a combination of gravity and rotating rollers. The rotating rollers are used to adjust the posture of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces to ensure that the pieces that meet the requirements can pass through, while the pieces that do not meet the thickness requirements are blocked and collected.
It enables automatic sorting of Chinese herbal medicine slices by thickness, improves grading efficiency, ensures that slices with the required thickness can pass through smoothly, and intercepts and collects slices with the required thickness to avoid jamming. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces processing equipment, concretely relates to a kind of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces automatic screening grading device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces refer to the tablet-shaped medicinal materials prepared by processing, drying and other processes of medicinal materials, and common ones include ginseng and astragalus etc. After being prepared, traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are usually classified into different quality grades according to different sizes. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the slice, the higher the quality grade. However, high-quality traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces also need to have appropriate thickness. If the thickness is too thick, it will also be classified as substandard products. The traditional grading method is manual sorting. However, the sorting efficiency is too low. The existing grading method is mostly to use a vibrating screen separator to screen and grade the diameter of the slice. However, the vibrating screen separator cannot sort the thickness of the slice. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application provides a kind of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces automatic screening grading device, can solve the problem that the existing vibrating screen separator cannot sort the thickness of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.

[0005] In one embodiment, the straight chute is fixedly connected to the vibrating screen separator by a mounting bracket.
[0006] In one embodiment, the conveying belt assembly is further provided, which is arranged at the higher end of the straight chute and used to convey the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces to the straight chute.
[0007] In one embodiment, the collection unit mainly includes a collection box with the opening facing upwards.
[0008] In one embodiment, the collection box is detachably connected to the straight slide rail via a threaded connection.
[0009] In summary, the automatic screening and grading device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces disclosed in this application has the following advantages compared to the prior art:
[0010] (1) The thickness sorting component can sort the thickness of Chinese herbal medicine slices between the vibrating screens and pick out the unqualified, thicker defective products;
[0011] (2) When a Chinese herbal medicine slice that is too thick is blocked by the barrier bar, it is pushed upward by the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating roller and is not easy to get stuck. If some Chinese herbal medicine slices that meet the thickness requirements are blocked at the barrier bar due to an unsuitable posture, the rotating roller can also help them adjust their posture so that their cut surface fits the straight slide and passes through the barrier bar.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 An automatic screening and grading device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, comprising a vibrating screening machine 1, which can sort traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces of different diameters, and its specific working principle and structure are prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, a thickness sorting assembly 2 is provided before the vibrating screening machine 1, and the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces will first pass through the thickness sorting assembly 2. The thickness sorting assembly 2 comprises a straight chute 3 and a blocking rod 4. The straight chute 3 is arranged in a straight line direction, with the front end being higher and the rear end being lower, and the rear side facing the inlet of the vibrating screening machine 1, so that the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces sorted by thickness will slide obliquely downward along the straight chute 3 under the action of gravity to the vibrating screening machine 1.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4The blocking rod 4 is fixed on the straight slide 3 by welding, and is parallel to the straight slide 3 with a spacing therebetween. The spacing between the blocking rod 4 and the straight slide 3 can be designed according to actual conditions, so that the Chinese herbal pieces with small thickness (meeting the requirements) can pass between the blocking rod 4 and the straight slide 3, while the Chinese herbal pieces with large thickness (not meeting the requirements) are blocked by the blocking rod 4.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 The blocking rod 4 is obliquely arranged (one end is lower than the other end based on being parallel to the straight slide 3), so that the Chinese herbal pieces blocked by the blocking rod 4 move towards the lower end of the blocking rod 4 until leaving the straight slide 3. Further, the straight slide 3 is upwardly protruded at both ends to be fixed with a row of blocking edges 6 for preventing the Chinese herbal pieces from escaping from both sides, and the blocking edge 6 at the lower end of the blocking rod 4 is provided with a notch 7 for the blocked Chinese herbal pieces to leave the straight slide 3 therefrom.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 4 The front side of the blocking rod 4 is rotatably provided with a rotating roller 9, and the rotating shaft of the rotating roller 9 is along the length direction of the blocking rod 4. The front side of the straight slide 3 is recessed rearward to be provided with a mounting groove 8 for providing a mounting position for the rotating roller 9. A driving motor 10 for driving the rotating roller 9 to rotate is arranged, and the shell of the driving motor 10 is fixed on the blocking rod 4 by screwing or welding, and the output shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating roller 9 by welding. The counterclockwise rotation of the rotating roller 9 can help the blocked Chinese herbal pieces to move towards the lower end of the blocking rod 4. Further, the Chinese herbal pieces sliding to the blocking rod 4 usually have two postures, one is that the cutting surface is adhered to the straight slide 3, so that the pieces with appropriate thickness can directly pass, and the other is that the cutting surface is not adhered to the straight slide 3, which may cause the pieces with appropriate thickness to be temporarily blocked by the blocking rod 4. The counterclockwise rotating of the rotating roller 9 can help the pieces to adjust the posture so as to be adhered to the straight slide 3 and smoothly fall down.
[0025] The lower end of the blocking rod 4 is provided with a collecting part for collecting the thicker Chinese herbal pieces.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, the straight slide 3 is fixedly connected to the vibrating screen separator 1 by the mounting frame 5, and the fixed connection can be welding. In this way, the structure is more stable.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1、 Figure 3 In one embodiment, the conveying belt assembly 13 is arranged at the higher end of the straight chute 3 to convey the traditional Chinese medicine pieces to the straight chute 3, so that the workers only need to pour the traditional Chinese medicine pieces on the conveying belt assembly little by little, and the piled traditional Chinese medicine pieces can be spread out in the process of moving on the conveying belt assembly 13, which is reasonable in structure and better in effect.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, the collecting part mainly comprises a collecting box 11, and the opening of the collecting box 11 faces upwards. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to implement. Further, the collecting box 11 is detachably connected to the straight chute 3 in a threaded connection manner, so that the collecting box 11 is detached or mounted by screwing in or out the bolts 12, which is convenient to operate and stable and easy to implement in effect.
