Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing equipment, specifically to a drug dicing machine for bonding. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine, as the core of my country's traditional medicine, has been passed down for thousands of years and is a unique and precious treasure of my country. Today, its influence has spread all over the world.
[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to drugs used for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or regulation of bodily functions under the guidance of TCM theories. It includes both raw medicinal herbs and prepared Chinese medicines. TCM encompasses a vast array of herbs; the earliest known medical text, the *Shennong Bencao Jing*, records as many as 365 medicinal herbs, most of which are still in use today. Currently, according to surveys and statistics conducted by scholars both domestically and internationally, approximately 500 medicinal herbs are commonly used in clinical practice, with about 250 being the most frequently used.
[0004] During the storage of some traditional Chinese medicines, due to their inherent properties, such as the presence of fatty oils, volatile oils, mucilage, or sugars, they may exhibit oiliness or sugar reversion. Additionally, some herbs containing sugar gums, resins, or waxes may soften under elevated temperatures or moisture, leading to adhesion and clumping. When dispensing these herbs, it is often found that the original bulk herbs have transformed into large clumps, making further dispensing and use impossible. In particular, for severely adhered herbs, conventional cutting methods are extremely difficult. Workers must manually separate the large clumps and then further divide the separated clumps into smaller pieces, a slow and laborious process.
[0005] In view of this, how to solve the problem of slow processing efficiency and laborious processing when sticky drugs adhere and clump together and need to be cut for dispensing has become the research topic to be solved by this utility model. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drug cutting machine that can solve the problem of drug dispensing efficiency and accuracy caused by the adhesion and clumping of viscous drugs.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a drug-cutting machine for dispensing and cutting bonded drugs. Its innovation lies in:
[0008] The dicing machine includes a feeding container, a stirring mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a cutting mechanism.
[0009] The feed container is a container structure for holding the adhesive drug. The feed container has a connected feed inlet, a stirring chamber and a discharge outlet, and both the feed inlet and the discharge outlet are at least partially open.
[0010] The stirring mechanism includes a stirring drive unit and a stirring end. The stirring end is located inside the stirring chamber of the feed container, and the stirring drive unit drives the stirring end to act on the adhesive drug located inside the stirring chamber.
[0011] The conveying mechanism is located on the discharge port side of the feed container. The conveying mechanism is a mechanism for conveying the stirred and bound medicine. The conveying mechanism has a conveying drive unit, a conveying action unit, and a conveying port.
[0012] The cutting mechanism is located on one side of the conveying port of the conveying mechanism. The cutting mechanism includes a cutting drive unit and a cutting action end. The cutting drive unit drives the cutting action end to cut and dice the adhesive drug conveyed from the conveying port.
[0013] The relevant contents of this utility model are explained as follows:
[0014] 1. In the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the workflow of the feeding container, stirring mechanism, conveying mechanism, and cutting mechanism is as follows: The lumps of adhesive medicine are placed into the feeding container through the feeding port. The stirring end located in the stirring chamber stirs the adhesive medicine. The dispersed adhesive medicine enters the conveying mechanism through the discharge port. The conveying mechanism transports the dispersed adhesive medicine to the cutting mechanism located on one side of the conveying port. The cutting end cuts and dices the adhesive medicine conveyed from the conveying port, thereby cutting the adhesive medicine into the set specifications. Through the implementation of the above technical solution, efficient and controllable cutting and dicing of adhesive medicine is achieved. This allows even medicines that were previously difficult to handle due to severe adhesion to be dispensed quickly and accurately using the dicing machine, avoiding problems such as drug contamination, inaccurate dispensing, and waste of medicinal materials during manual processing.
[0015] 2. In the above technical solution, the stirring drive unit, conveying drive unit, and cutting drive unit are driven by the same power source. A further preferred embodiment uses a single power source plus related transmission components to achieve a one-to-many drive mode, saving costs and reducing maintenance costs.
[0016] 3. In the above technical solution, the stirring drive unit, conveying drive unit, and cutting drive unit each adopt a power source. This solution allows for independent control of the speeds of the stirring mechanism, conveying mechanism, and cutting mechanism, enabling control of different stirring speeds, conveying speeds, and cutting speeds to meet the diverse requirements of various cutting and dicing operations.
[0017] 4. In the above technical solution, the stirring end of the stirring mechanism includes a stirring rod and a stirring head. The stirring rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the stirring drive unit, and multiple stirring heads are provided on the stirring rod. This structure of the stirring mechanism can effectively disperse the traditional Chinese medicine and allow it to fall into the conveying mechanism. The number of stirring heads can be two, three, four, or more.
[0018] 5. In the above technical solution, the length direction of the stirring rod is parallel to the length direction of the discharge port, and the plurality of stirring heads are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the stirring rod. A further preferred embodiment further enhances the stirring and dispersing effect.
[0019] 6. In the above technical solution, the conveying mechanism adopts a spiral conveying mechanism, and the conveying action unit includes a spiral conveying rod, with the conveying port located at the end of the spiral conveying rod. A further preferred embodiment allows for better conveying of the adhesive drug, and during the conveying process, a propulsive force can be applied to push the adhesive drug out, enabling the cutting mechanism to cut the adhesive drug into cubes.
[0020] 7. In the above technical solution, the cutting end is a rotary cutter, which is mounted on a cutting fixture via a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is positioned and connected to the cutting drive unit. Using this cutting mechanism to perform dicing of the adhesive drug results in a reliable and stable structure, enabling the rapid and effective dicing of the adhesive drug pushed out by the conveying mechanism.
[0021] 8. In the above technical solution, the rotary cutter includes multiple blades arranged around the rotating shaft, each blade having a fan-shaped structure. A further preferred embodiment, demonstrating the feasibility of the complete solution, is that this blade shape and arrangement can better cut viscous drugs, preventing the drug from adhering to the rotating blades. The number of blades can be two, three, four, or more.
