TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to traditional Chinese medicine production technical field especially, a kind of dispensing equipment of being provided with storage hopper. BACKGROUND
[0002] Decoction is suitable for TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and the principle of adding or subtracting according to symptoms. In addition to the characteristics of simple preparation, wide solvent source, no irritation and side effects, it also has the advantages of liquid preparation, i.e. fast absorption and rapid drug efficacy. Decoction is the most widely used dosage form in clinical practice.
[0003] In the early development of traditional Chinese medicine, cooking utensils were mostly food utensils. In ancient times, raw materials were easily available, and the manufacturing cost was low. Therefore, pottery decoction utensils were widely used. At the same time, pottery vessels have stable chemical properties and have always been the main decoction utensils.
[0004] With the development of the times and the promotion of urbanization, personal decoction has gradually become a burden due to various factors, and traditional Chinese medicine decoction services are carried out in various places. Since traditional Chinese medicine decoction is a diagnostic treatment, one prescription for one person, and a large amount of production relies on manual labor. The current decoction machine mostly uses cloth bags to package and decoct. Due to the insolubility of the packaged decoction, combined with the squeezing and solid-liquid separation after decoction, some insoluble particles enter the medicinal liquid, which seriously affects the quality of traditional Chinese medicine decoction. Using cloth bags to package and soak and decoct makes it difficult to ensure that the effective part of the decoction is dissolved, which affects the therapeutic effect. Large-scale decoction centers urgently need to introduce intelligent decoction equipment that follows the traditional decoction process to meet the growing demand for decoction and high-quality decoction services, improve decoction quality and management level, and promote the high-quality development of the decoction industry.
[0005] In the existing decoction process, dispensing (i.e. dispensing according to the prescription) is required first. Due to the small capacity of the hopper of the dispensing mechanism, it is necessary to frequently supplement traditional Chinese medicine decoction during use. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0006] The utility model aims to provide a dispensing equipment provided with a hopper, which can reduce the frequency of supplementing traditional Chinese medicine decoction during dispensing.
[0007] The above technical problem is solved by the following technical scheme: a dispensing device with a hopper, comprising a rack, the rack being provided with a plurality of dispensing mechanisms distributed along the up-down direction, the dispensing mechanisms being provided with a feeding port, characterized in that the device further comprises a plurality of hoppers distributed along the up-down direction, the hoppers being arranged obliquely, the low end of the hopper being provided with a discharge port, the discharge ports of all the hoppers being located above the feeding ports of the dispensing mechanisms one by one, the feeding ports and the discharge ports being aligned one by one, the high end of the hopper being provided with a replenishing port, the replenishing port of the hopper located above being farther away from the vertical plane passing through the discharge port than the replenishing port of the hopper located below. The process of dispensing traditional Chinese medicine is as follows: when the dispensing mechanism needs to be replenished with traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, the discharge port is opened to make the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces in the hopper fall into the feeding port and enter the dispensing mechanism, and the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces to be dispensed are poured into the hopper through the replenishing port and stored in the hopper. The dispensing process does not need to wait for the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces spilled when the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are replenished into the discharge port will not fall into the hopper below, thereby improving the accuracy of the dispensing process.
[0008] Preferably, the opening direction of the replenishing port is inclined upward. The replenishing port is smooth when replenishing.
[0009] Preferably, the end surface of the replenishing port is an upwardly inclined inclined surface. The container for replenishing can be conveniently and reliably abutted with the replenishing port.
[0010] Preferably, the replenishing port is located outside the rack. It is convenient to replenish the hopper.
[0011] Preferably, the replenishing port is provided with a hopper cover. The hopper cover can be covered when not in use to prevent dust from entering.
[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the hopper cover is hinged to the hopper through a horizontal hinge shaft. The hopper cover can be covered by gravity when not in use, thereby avoiding the situation that the hopper cover is not covered.
[0013] Preferably, the hopper cover is provided with a pull ring. The pull ring is pulled to open the hopper cover when in use. The hopper cover is convenient to open.
[0014] Preferably, the pull ring is located at the lower end of the hopper cover. The hopper cover is labor-saving when opened.
[0015] Preferably, the hopper cover is a ferromagnetic structure, the hopper located above is provided with a permanent magnet between the upper and lower adjacent hoppers, and the hopper cover located below can be attracted by the permanent magnet of the hopper located above. When replenishing, the hopper cover is attracted by the permanent magnet and can be conveniently maintained in the opened state.
[0016] The lower side wall of the upper storage hopper abuts against the upper side wall of the lower storage hopper, thereby saving space and increasing the capacity of the storage tank under the condition of a certain space size.
[0017] The utility model has the advantages of expanding the storage part of the pricing structure, so that the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces need not be frequently supplemented, and the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces that fall off will not fall into the lower storage hopper, thereby improving the accuracy during dispensing.
