[0002] In the production of traditional Chinese medicine beverages, it is often necessary to repackage the decocted Chinese medicine liquid into disposable medicine bags for users to consume.

[0003] The existing semi-automatic filling equipment consists of a cyclical process of "empty bag clamping → filling → full bag removal → new empty bag clamping". The entire filling process is completed at the same station, lacking a pre-installation station for empty bag clamping. After filling, manual labor is required to repeatedly remove full bags and install new bags at the same station before filling can resume, resulting in long downtime and low filling efficiency. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine filling device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This embodiment will be described in further detail.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 This embodiment of a traditional Chinese medicine filling device includes a table 100, a medicine storage box 101 on the table 100, and two support frames on the table 100. Each support frame includes a connecting plate 102 and a vertical plate 103. A detachable plate 104 is provided on the vertical plate 103, and a locking component for locking the plate 104 is provided on the vertical plate 103. Movable blocks 105 are provided opposite each other on the plate 104, and rotatable rods 106 are provided between the blocks 105. Multiple sets of limiting plates 107 for clamping medicine bags are evenly spaced on the rods 106. A driving component for driving the blocks 105 to move is provided below the plate 104.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rod 106 is provided with multiple threads that correspond to each set of limiting plates 107 but are in opposite directions. The limiting plates 107 are threadedly connected to the rod 106, so that the rotation of the rod 106 drives each set of limiting plates 107 to move relative to each other. The connecting plate 102 is provided with a box 108 for receiving medicine bags.

[0027] In this embodiment, the medicine storage box 101 is used to hold the decocted Chinese medicine liquid. The medicine storage box 101 is equipped with a metering pump. The medicine storage box 101 is equipped with a flexible tube 109 with one end connected to the outlet of the metering pump. The other end of the flexible tube 109 is equipped with a needle-type filling head for filling the medicine bag with Chinese medicine liquid.

[0028] In this embodiment, when filling the medicine bag with traditional Chinese medicine liquid, the distance between each set of limiting plates 107 can be adjusted to a suitable distance by rotating the rod 106 according to the diameter of the medicine bag neck. Then, the neck of the medicine bag is inserted between the limiting plates 107, and the traditional Chinese medicine liquid is filled into the medicine bag through the hose 109.

[0029] The rotating rod 106 allows the limiting plate 107 to be adapted to the neck of pharmaceutical bags of different diameters, thus improving the versatility of the equipment.

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting up two support frames, the support frame closer to the medicine storage tank 101 serves as the medicine bag filling station, while the support frame farther from the medicine storage tank 101 serves as the medicine bag pre-clamping station. While the medicine is being filled at the filling station, another operator can pre-clamp the medicine bag onto the plate 104 at the pre-clamping station. After the medicine bag at the filling station is filled, the locking assembly releases the lock on the plate 104, allowing the filled medicine bag to be removed from the plate 104 as a whole and connected to the plate. The plates 104 on the pre-clamping station can be swapped, and filling can continue immediately at the filling station. The filled medicine bags can be capped at the pre-clamping station. After sealing, the filled medicine bags can be removed, and then the plates 104 can be pre-clamped with new medicine bags again to maintain the continuity of swapping plates 104 at the filling station. This solves the problem of repeatedly disassembling full bags and installing new bags at the same station before filling again, which leads to long downtime and low filling efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, the box body 108 is set on the pre-clamping station. After the medicine bags that have been filled and sealed at the pre-clamping station are sealed, the block body 105 can be moved by the drive component, thereby moving the limiting plate 107 towards the vertical plate 103. At this time, the plate body 104 can push out the medicine bags between each set of limiting plates 107, thereby releasing the clamping of the medicine bags, so that all the sealed medicine bags fall into the box body 108 for collection at once, avoiding the need for manual removal of the filled medicine bags one by one, thus improving filling efficiency.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-6In this embodiment, the locking assembly includes a square hole 200 disposed on the vertical plate 103, a square block 201 that can extend into or out of the square hole 200 on the plate body 104, an insertion hole 202 on the square block 201, and a circular cavity located above the square hole 200 in the vertical plate 103, and a rod 203 that can be inserted into or out of the insertion hole 202 in the circular cavity.

[0033] In this embodiment, the upper end of the circular cavity is open, and a cap 204 is provided at the open end of the circular cavity. The top end of the insertion rod 203 extends out from the cap 204. A collar 205 is provided on the surface of the insertion rod 203 located in the circular cavity. A spring 206 is provided between the collar 205 and the cap 204 and sleeved on the insertion rod 203. A push plate 207 is provided between the ends of the insertion rod 203 that extend out from the cap 204.

[0034] In this embodiment, a groove 208 located between the circular cavities is provided in the vertical plate 103. A movable block 209 is provided in the groove 208. A low plane 210 and a high plane 211 are provided on the movable block 209. An inclined surface 212 is provided between the low plane 210 and the high plane 211. The groove 208 is open. A cover 213 is provided at the open end of the groove 208. A rotating rod 214 is provided outside the cover 213, extending into the groove 208 and threadedly connected to the movable block 209. A telescopic rod 215 is provided on the push plate 207, extending into the groove 208 and abutting against the movable block 209.

[0035] In this embodiment, the square block 201 is fixedly connected to the plate 104, the cap 204 is threadedly connected to the opening end of the circular cavity to facilitate the installation of components inside the circular cavity, the collar 205 is fixedly connected to the insertion rod 203, the push plate 207 is fixedly connected to the end of the insertion rod 203, the cover 213 can be installed at the opening of the groove 208 by screws, the rotating rod 214 is rotatably installed on the cover 213 by bearings, and the upper end of the telescopic rod 215 is fixedly connected to the push plate 207. When the plate 104 is inserted into the square hole 200 through the square block 201, the rotating rod 214 is rotated to drive the moving block 209 to move, so that the bottom end of the telescopic rod 215 abuts against the moving block 209. The moving block 209 switches between the low plane 210 and the high plane 211 through the inclined surface 212, so that the insertion rod 203 can be inserted into or removed from the insertion hole 202, thereby locking or unlocking the plate 104 to allow the plate 104 to be swapped.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a through groove 300 disposed on the plate 104 and located below the block 105. A rack 301 connected to the block 105 is disposed in the through groove 300. Fixing plates 302 are disposed on both sides of the plate 104. A rotatable drive rod 303 is disposed between the fixing plates 302. A gear 304 that meshes with the rack 301 is disposed on the drive rod 303.

When it is necessary to drop all the filled and sealed medicine bags into the box 108 at once, the drive rod 303 can be rotated to drive the gear 304 to rotate. The gear 304 drives the rack 301 to move, thereby driving the block 105 to move towards the vertical plate 103, releasing the clamp on the neck of the medicine bag, so that all the medicine bags can fall into the box 108 for collection at once.

[0038] In use, according to the diameter of the neck of the medicine bag, the distance between each set of limiting plates 107 is adjusted to a suitable distance by rotating the rod 106. The neck of the medicine bag is then inserted between the limiting plates 107. The metering pump is started to fill the medicine bag with liquid through the hose 109. After the medicine bag at the filling station is filled, the locking component is used to release the locking of the plate 104. The filled medicine bag can then be removed from the plate 104 as a whole and swapped with the plate 104 at the pre-clamping station. After the swap, filling can continue at the filling station immediately. The filled medicine bag can be capped at the pre-clamping station. After sealing, the filled medicine bag is removed. Then, a new medicine bag is pre-clamped on the plate 104 to maintain the continuity of the swap with the plate 104 at the filling station.

[0039] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
