Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weighing device technology, and in particular to a Chinese medicine scale for processing Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional processing and prescription of Chinese medicine, there are many types of medicinal materials with different properties, and different materials often need to be weighed separately to avoid cross-contamination. Existing weighing tools for Chinese medicine are mostly traditional mechanical balances or simple pallet scales, which are not only structurally simple, but also often require manual removal of the materials after weighing, resulting in low efficiency and the risk of secondary contamination. Especially in the transfer of materials after weighing, most current Chinese medicine scales are not equipped with effective automatic unloading mechanisms, forcing the materials to be manually grasped or poured out, which is inconvenient and poses certain safety and hygiene hazards.

[0003] Furthermore, existing Chinese medicine scales mostly have fixed trays that are difficult to disassemble and clean, making them unsuitable for operations requiring frequent changes of medicinal materials. Because Chinese medicinal materials are diverse, if the tray structure cannot be quickly changed, it can easily lead to cross-contamination of drug residues, affecting efficacy or safety.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a Chinese medicine scale for processing Chinese medicine to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a Chinese medicine scale for processing Chinese medicine.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a Chinese medicine scale for processing Chinese medicine, comprising a base plate, a balance bar, a medicine tray, and side plates, wherein the balance bar is rotatably disposed between the two side plates, and a counterweight assembly is provided at the tail end of the balance bar, the counterweight assembly being used to indicate the weight of the medicine in the medicine tray;

[0007] The medicine tray is mounted on the head of the balance bar via a connecting assembly, which is used for quick disassembly and replacement of the medicine tray and the balance bar.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting assembly consists of a housing, a lever, a screw barrel, a screw rod, a square block, a connecting rod, and a plug. The housing is mounted on the balance bar, the screw barrel is rotatably mounted inside the housing, and the two screw rods are symmetrically threaded inside the screw barrel with opposite thread engagement directions.

[0009] Preferably, the square blocks are respectively disposed on the screw and slidably connected to the housing, one end of the connecting rod is disposed on the outer wall of the square block, the insert is disposed on the other end of the connecting rod, the two inserts are inserted into the outer wall of the medicine tray, and the paddle is disposed on the outer wall of the screw cylinder, with the paddle protruding from the upper and lower surfaces of the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the balance bar is provided with a horizontal bubble structure.

[0011] Preferably, the counterweight assembly consists of a pad, weights, a rotating rod, and a base. The base is mounted on the balance rod, the rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the base, and the pad is located at the bottom end of the rotating rod.

[0012] Preferably, the weight is slidably inserted into the rotating rod and rests on the upper surface of the pad.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom end of the side plate is located on the upper surface of the base plate, and the lower surface of the base plate is provided with a support base. There are four support bases in total, and the positions of the four support bases are distributed in a rectangular array on the lower surface of the base plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In the process of using the Chinese medicine processing scale of this utility model, a certain number of weights with different standard weights are prefabricated. The weights corresponding to the weight to be weighed are placed on the pad. At this time, under the heavy pressure of the counterweight component, the medicine tray tilts upward.

[0016] The staff then pours the Chinese medicine to be weighed into the medicine tray. As the weight of the medicine in the tray gradually increases, the balance bar tends to be horizontal. When the balance bar is horizontal, it means that the medicine in the tray has reached the specified weight. After the medicine is weighed, the staff pushes the end of the balance bar upward with their fingers, so that the opening of the medicine tray faces downward. The medicine in the tray then slides down into the collection bag below under the action of gravity.

[0017] When the medicine tray needs to be replaced, the medicine tray is disassembled and assembled using the connecting assembly. When the connecting assembly is working, the operator manually moves the lever, which drives the screw barrel to rotate. Due to the design of the screw barrel and the two screws having opposite thread directions, and the square blocks being constrained by the housing so that the screws do not rotate, the two square blocks are controlled by the connecting rod to drive the insert blocks to move away from the medicine tray synchronously, thus removing the medicine tray. After the medicine tray is replaced, the lever is moved in the opposite direction, which causes the two insert blocks to be inserted into the medicine tray synchronously, completing the medicine tray fixing operation.

[0018] This utility model adopts a purely mechanical design, which achieves accurate weighing through pre-set standard weights and a balancing structure, avoiding the problems of electronic scale malfunctions. It is suitable for the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy environment. After weighing, the user can flip the medicine tray through a simple lever operation, and the medicine will fall directly into the collection bag below, which improves efficiency, reduces manual contact, and helps to prevent contamination.

[0019] The medicine tray can be quickly assembled and disassembled by the synchronous movement of screws in opposite directions driven by the screw barrel. It is suitable for the alternating use of different types of medicinal materials and is beneficial for cleaning and management. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a Chinese medicine scale for processing Chinese medicine, including a base plate 1, a balance bar 3, a medicine tray 4 and side plates 10. The balance bar 3 is rotatably disposed between the two side plates 10. The tail end of the balance bar 3 is provided with a counterweight assembly, which is used to indicate the weight of the medicine in the medicine tray 4.

[0029] The medicine tray 4 is mounted on the head of the balance bar 3 via a connecting component 5. The connecting component 5 is used for quick disassembly and replacement of the medicine tray 4 and the balance bar 3. Under the heavy pressure of the counterweight component, the medicine tray 4 tilts upwards in this utility model of Chinese medicine processing scale.

[0030] The staff then pours the Chinese medicine to be weighed into the medicine tray 4. As the weight of the medicine in the medicine tray 4 gradually increases, the balance bar 3 tends to be horizontal. When the balance bar 3 is horizontal, it means that the medicine in the medicine tray 4 has reached the specified weight. After the medicine is weighed, the staff pushes the end of the balance bar 3 upward with their fingers, so that the opening of the medicine tray 4 faces downward. The medicine in the medicine tray 4 then slides down into the collection bag below under the action of gravity.

[0031] When it is necessary to replace the medicine tray 4, the medicine tray 4 is disassembled and assembled through the connecting component 5.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a Chinese medicine scale for processing Chinese medicine. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes: a connecting assembly 5 composed of a housing 501, a lever 502, a screw barrel 503, a screw rod 504, a square block 505, a connecting rod 506, and an insert block 507. The housing 501 is mounted on the balance bar 3. The screw barrel 503 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 501.

The dial 502 protrudes from the upper and lower surfaces of the housing 501. When the connecting assembly 5 is in operation, the operator manually moves the dial 502, which drives the screw cylinder 503 to rotate. Due to the opposite thread direction of the screw cylinder 503 and the two screws 504, and the fact that the square block 505 is restricted by the housing 501 so that the screws 504 do not rotate, the two square blocks 505 are controlled to drive the insert blocks 507 to move away from the medicine tray 4 synchronously through the connecting rod 506, thereby removing the medicine tray 4. After the medicine tray 4 is replaced, the dial 502 is moved in the opposite direction, which causes the two insert blocks 507 to be inserted into the medicine tray 4 synchronously, thus completing the fixing operation of the medicine tray 4.
