[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] This sorting device for processing Chinese medicine has the advantages of vibrating the Chinese medicine, which facilitates the dispersion of Chinese medicine from sand and gravel residue, and speeds up the sorting efficiency of medicinal materials.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0011] Furthermore, the distance between the left end of the connecting plate and the connecting rod is greater than the distance between the right end of the connecting plate and the connecting rod, the pressure block is located at the top right side of the connecting plate, and the rope is fixed to the left end of the connecting plate.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is to prevent the connecting plate from rotating out of the range of the cam, and to facilitate the relative collision and sliding between the cam and the pressure block.

[0015] Furthermore, both the screening plate and the discharge plate are inclined and both are U-shaped.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it can filter the sieved residue and gravel, and prevent the Chinese medicine from slipping and falling out from both sides.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of card plates are fixedly connected to the top of the screening plate, and the outer sides of the plurality of card plates are all arc-shaped.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is to prevent the sand and gravel from sliding down the slope along with the Chinese medicine, thereby blocking the sliding trajectory of the sand and gravel and facilitating more thorough screening.

[0019] Furthermore, both of the support plates have clearance grooves inside, and the front and rear sides of the baffle are fixedly connected with threaded rods that pass through and extend to the outside of the two clearance grooves respectively.

[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] As shown in Figures 1-4, in this embodiment, a sorting device for processing traditional Chinese medicine includes a support frame 1. Two support plates 2, symmetrically distributed front to back, are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. A sieve plate 3 is rotatably connected between the two support plates 2. A rope 4 is fixedly connected inside the sieve plate 3. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of each support plate 2. A cam 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the output shaft of the motor 5. A connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected between the two support plates 2. A connecting plate 8, fixedly connected to the rope 4, is rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting rod 7. A pressure block 9, corresponding to the cam 6, is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 8. A baffle 10 is provided between the two support plates 2, located below the sieve plate 3. A discharge plate 11 is fixedly connected between the two support plates 2, located below the sieve plate 3.

[0028] The distance between the left end of the connecting plate 8 and the connecting rod 7 is greater than the distance between the right end of the connecting plate 8 and the connecting rod 7. The pressure block 9 is located at the top right side of the connecting plate 8, and the rope 4 is fixed to the left end of the connecting plate 8.

[0029] In this embodiment, during actual use, the rotation of the cam 6 will cause the connecting plate 8 outside the connecting rod 7 to rotate and tilt due to the collision with the pressure block 9. The short side pryes the long side, making the left side of the connecting plate 8 rotate more, and then the right side of the screening plate 3 is raised through the rope 4.

[0030] The pressure block 9 has an arc-shaped interior, and the connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 12 located above the connecting plate 8 on its outer side.

[0031] In this embodiment, during actual use, the cam 6 contacts the pressure block 9 on the arc-shaped surface more smoothly and stably. When the screening plate 3 falls down and returns to its original position, the connecting plate 8 rotates, and its position is blocked by the limiting plate 12, so that it will not rotate continuously on the outside of the connecting rod 7.

[0032] Both the screening plate 3 and the discharge plate 11 are inclined and both are U-shaped.

[0033] In this embodiment, during actual use, the inclined screening plate 3 and discharge plate 11 will cause the Chinese medicine or the sand and gravel residue inside the Chinese medicine to slide off. The U-shaped setting facilitates its passage without causing it to fall from both sides, resulting in the mixing or waste of the Chinese medicine.

[0034] The top of the screening plate 3 is fixedly connected with a number of clamping plates 13, and the outer sides of the clamping plates 13 are all arc-shaped.

[0035] In this embodiment, during actual use, the thickness of the card plate 13 is relatively low and its surface is relatively smooth. Its main purpose is to prevent sand and gravel from passing through without affecting the sliding and conveying of the Chinese medicine to the right under the action of vibration.

[0036] The two support plates 2 are provided with clearance grooves inside. The front and rear sides of the baffle 10 are fixedly connected with threaded rods 14 that pass through and extend to the outside of the two clearance grooves. The outside of the two threaded rods 14 are threadedly connected with threaded sleeves 15. Rubber pads are provided on the opposite sides of the two threaded sleeves 15.

[0037] In this embodiment, during actual use, the baffle 10 can block the falling of the sieve plate 3. When the sieve plate 3 falls downward, it will collide with it and vibrate, causing the Chinese medicine to move to the right. The tightening of the threaded sleeve 15 and the threaded rod 14 can fix the baffle 10 in front of the two support plates 2. The rubber pad enhances its stability and prevents it from loosening. The baffle 10 at different heights can change the relative falling collision height between the sieve plate 3 and it, thereby changing the vibration magnitude of the Chinese medicine moving to the right and the tilt degree of the sieve plate 3. As the installation height of the baffle 10 changes, the length of the rope 4 also needs to be changed.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] During the sorting process of traditional Chinese medicine, some sand, gravel, and residue may be mixed inside the medicine. A large amount of medicine is gradually poured onto the screening plate 3. The motor 5 is started, and the cam 6 presses against the pressure block 9, which causes the left side of the connecting plate 8 to tilt up. Under the action of the flexible rope 4, the screening plate 3 is rotated, causing the right side of the screening plate 3 to be lifted and then dropped, colliding with the baffle 10 and vibrating. This allows the medicine and the sand inside the screening plate 3 to move along the inclined surface. The medicine will move to the right and fall off the screening plate 3 for collection, or fall onto the conveyor belt for transportation. The sand can fall through the small holes in the screening plate 3 into the discharge plate 11 for discharge.
