Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of artemisia processing technology, and specifically relates to a quantitative feeding device for artemisia processing. Background Technology

[0002] The leaves are typically the dried leaves of Artemisia argyi, a plant belonging to the genus Artemisia in the Asteraceae family. They are warm in nature and enter the liver, spleen, and stomach meridians. Containing volatile oils, flavonoids, sesquiterpenes, and other components, they have the effects of warming the meridians and stopping bleeding, dispelling cold and relieving pain, and eliminating dampness and relieving itching. Clinically, Artemisia argyi leaves are often used to treat hematemesis, metrorrhagia, menorrhagia, lower abdominal pain due to cold, irregular menstruation due to cold, infertility due to uterine cold, and pruritus. Furthermore, modern medical research shows that Artemisia argyi leaves also have antibacterial, anti-allergic, antitussive, and antiasthmatic pharmacological effects; patients using Artemisia argyi leaves can improve symptoms such as allergies, coughs, and wheezing.

[0003] In the artemisia processing industry, the pulverizer is an important pre-processing equipment. Its working efficiency and pulverization effect largely depend on a stable and appropriate supply of materials. Traditional feeding methods, whether manual or simple mechanical conveying, make it difficult to accurately control the amount of artemisia entering the pulverizer. As a result, when too much artemisia enters the pulverizer, the load on the pulverizer will increase instantly, the motor speed will decrease, and even jamming or shutdown may occur. This not only reduces pulverization efficiency and prolongs processing time, but may also cause the pulverized artemisia particles to be seriously uneven in size, affecting subsequent extraction, processing and other processing steps, and thus reducing the quality and stability of the final product.

[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is a quantitative feeding device for processing Artemisia argyi leaves, including a mounting base, a quantitative barrel and a conveying component mounted on the mounting base, the discharge end of the conveying component being coaxially aligned with the upper inlet of the quantitative barrel, an opening and closing component and a driving component mounted on the mounting base, the opening and closing component being able to close the lower outlet of the quantitative barrel, and the driving component being used to drive the opening and closing component to rotate so that the opening and closing component intermittently opens the lower outlet of the quantitative barrel.

[0006] The conveying assembly includes a conveying pipe with a feed hopper installed at one end and a discharge pipe installed at the other end. Both the feed hopper and the discharge pipe are connected to the inside of the conveying pipe. The discharge pipe is coaxially aligned with the feed inlet at the top of the metering bucket. An auger is installed inside the conveying pipe. A first driving component is installed at one end of the conveying pipe, and the driving end of the first driving component is connected to the auger.

[0007] The opening and closing assembly includes a rotating rod, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting base. A rotating disk is mounted on the lower end of the rotating rod. The rotating disk has symmetrical grooves. The upper surface of the rotating disk is in close contact with the discharge port of the metering tank, and the grooves are larger than the diameter of the discharge port of the metering tank. A grooved wheel is coaxially mounted on the upper end of the rotating rod. Multiple drive grooves are evenly arranged on the grooved wheel, and the drive grooves can cooperate with the drive components.

[0008] The drive component includes a second drive component, which is mounted on a mounting base. A drive disk is coaxially mounted on the drive end of the second drive component. A connecting frame is mounted on the drive disk, and a drive column is mounted on one end of the connecting frame. The drive column can be adapted to the drive slot.

[0009] A vibration motor is installed on the surface of the metering container.

[0010] The measuring container has an observation window on its surface.

[0011] A mounting bracket is installed on the upper surface of the mounting base, and the upper end of the mounting bracket is connected to the surface of the conveying pipe.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention uses a second driving component to drive the grooved wheel to rotate intermittently, causing the rotating disc to intermittently align the groove opening with the feeding port of the metering bin. This intermittent opening and closing of the metering bin's discharge port ensures that the mugwort leaves inside the metering bin are stored in a measured quantity when the discharge port is closed. When the discharge port is open, the mugwort leaves fall into the crushing device. This allows the mugwort leaves in the metering bin to fall into the crushing device in a stable and regular manner, avoiding the adverse effects on the crusher caused by excessive feeding at one time. This ensures the stable and efficient operation of the crusher and improves the overall quality and efficiency of mugwort processing.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1-5 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown:

[0023] This embodiment provides a quantitative feeding device for processing Artemisia argyi leaves, including a mounting base 1, on which a quantitative barrel 2 and a conveying component 3 are mounted. The discharge end of the conveying component 3 is coaxially aligned with the upper inlet of the quantitative barrel 2. An opening and closing component 4 and a driving component 5 are mounted on the mounting base 1. The opening and closing component 4 can close the lower outlet of the quantitative barrel 2, and the driving component 5 is used to drive the opening and closing component 4 to rotate so that the opening and closing component 4 intermittently opens the lower outlet of the quantitative barrel 2.

[0024] In practical use, the mounting base 1 is first installed on the crushing device, and the discharge port of the metering bucket 2 is aligned with the inlet of the crushing device to complete the initial installation. Artemisia leaves are then poured into the conveying component 3 from the inlet end of the conveying component 3, so that the artemisia leaves are slowly conveyed to the metering bucket 2 through the conveying component 3. At this time, the opening and closing component 4 is in the closed discharge port state of the metering bucket 2, so that a certain amount of artemisia leaves will be stored inside the metering bucket 2. The opening and closing component 4 is then driven by the driving component 5 to rotate. When the opening and closing component 4 rotates, it changes from a completely closed discharge port of the metering bucket 2 to an intermittently closed discharge port state, so that a certain amount of artemisia leaves stored in the metering bucket 2 will fall intermittently from the discharge port of the metering bucket 2 into the crushing device. This achieves the goal of conveying the artemisia leaves in the metering bucket 2 to the crushing device in a fixed amount and intermittently, avoiding the adverse effects of excessive feeding at one time on the crushing device, ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the crusher, and improving the overall quality and efficiency of artemisia leaf processing.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the conveying assembly 3 includes a conveying pipe 6. A feed hopper 7 is installed at one end of the conveying pipe 6, and a discharge pipe 8 is installed at the other end. Both the feed hopper 7 and the discharge pipe 8 are connected to the inside of the conveying pipe 6. The discharge pipe 8 is coaxially aligned with the feed inlet at the upper end of the metering bin 2. An auger 9 is installed inside the conveying pipe 6. A first driving component 10 is installed at one end of the conveying pipe 6. The first driving component 10 includes, but is not limited to, a motor. The driving end of the first driving component 10 is connected to the auger 9. The first driving component 10 can drive the auger 9 to rotate so that after the mugwort leaves are poured into the feed hopper, the rotation of the auger 9 can drive the mugwort leaves to be conveyed in the conveying pipe 6 to the discharge pipe 8, and then enter the metering bin 2 from the discharge pipe 8. In this way, the mugwort leaves can be conveyed to the metering bin 2 in a stable amount, providing a sufficient and stable material guarantee for subsequent metered feeding.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the opening and closing assembly 4 includes a rotating rod 11, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1. A rotating disk 12 is mounted on the lower end of the rotating rod 11. The rotating disk 12 has symmetrically arranged slots 13. The upper surface of the rotating disk 12 is in close contact with the discharge port of the metering tank 2, and the slots 13 are larger than the diameter of the discharge port of the metering tank 2. A grooved wheel 14 is coaxially mounted on the upper end of the rotating rod 11. A plurality of drive slots 15 are evenly arranged on the grooved wheel 14. The driving component includes a second driving component 16, which includes, but is not limited to, a motor. The second driving component 16 is mounted on the mounting base 1. A drive disk 17 is coaxially mounted on the driving end of the second driving component 16. A connecting frame 18 is installed on the 7th drive wheel 14, and a drive column 19 is installed at one end of the connecting frame 18. The drive column 19 can be adapted to the drive groove 15. In the initial state, the surface of the rotating disk 12 is in close contact with the discharge port of the metering tank 2, and the groove 13 is not aligned with the discharge port of the metering tank 2. Therefore, when the second drive component 16 rotates, the drive disk 17 rotates synchronously. The drive disk 17 rotates continuously at a stable speed to ensure the regularity and stability of the entire drive process. As the drive disk 17 rotates, the connecting frame 18 installed on the drive disk 17 also performs a circular motion. The drive column 19 at one end of the connecting frame 18 gradually approaches the drive groove 15 on the groove wheel 14, so that the drive column 19 enters the groove wheel. When the drive column 19 rotates within the drive groove 15 of the metering tank 2, the rotation of the drive column 19 will drive the groove wheel 14 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating disk 12 to rotate synchronously through the rotating rod 11. This causes the groove 13, which was originally misaligned with the metering tank 2, to gradually align with the feed inlet of the metering tank 2. At this time, the mugwort leaves in the metering tank 2 can fall into the crushing device under the action of gravity. With the continuous rotation of the drive disk 17, the drive column 19 will enter the next drive groove 15, thereby driving the rotating disk 12 to rotate again, causing the groove 13 to misalign with the feed inlet of the metering tank 2 again. The lower end of the feed inlet of the metering tank 2 becomes closed, and then the drive disk 17 intermittently drives the groove wheel 14 to rotate, causing the groove 13 to rotate. 3 will intermittently correspond to the lower end of the metering tank 2, realizing the intermittent opening and closing of the discharge port of the metering tank 2. This allows the mugwort leaves inside the metering tank 2 to be stored in a fixed quantity when the discharge port of the metering tank 2 is closed. When the discharge port of the metering tank 2 is open, the mugwort leaves fall into the crushing device. Since the second drive component 16 operates at a stable speed, the rotating disk 12 will also rotate in a stable manner, ensuring that the mugwort leaves in the metering tank 2 fall into the crushing device in a stable and regular manner. This avoids the adverse effects on the crusher caused by excessive feeding at one time, ensures the stable and efficient operation of the crusher, and improves the overall quality and efficiency of mugwort processing.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, a vibration motor 20 is installed on the surface of the metering tank 2. By setting the vibration motor 20 on the surface of the metering tank 2, the vibration motor 20 generates high-frequency vibration after being turned on. This vibration is transmitted to the mugwort leaves inside the metering tank 2 through the tank wall, which reduces the friction and adhesion between the mugwort leaves, making the mugwort leaves looser and more fluid. This helps to avoid affecting the stability and smoothness of feeding due to material accumulation or blockage. Especially when there is a large amount of mugwort leaves in the metering tank 2 and the mugwort leaves near the bottom are under greater pressure, the vibration of the vibration motor 20 can effectively help the mugwort leaves overcome the pressure and flow smoothly to the discharge port.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the metering barrel 2 is provided with an observation window 21. The observation window 21 allows the staff to easily see the amount of mugwort stored inside the metering barrel 2, so that the rotation speed of the second drive component 16 can be adjusted according to the required amount, so that the mugwort can fall into the crushing device in different amounts.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a fixing frame 22 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting base 1. The upper end of the fixing frame 22 is connected to the surface of the conveying pipe 6. The fixing frame 22 can support and fix the conveying pipe 6 to improve the overall stability of the conveying assembly 3.

[0030] The working principle of the quantitative feeding device for mugwort processing provided by this utility model is as follows: After the mugwort leaves are poured into the feeding hopper, the rotation of the auger 9 can drive the mugwort leaves to be transported in the conveying pipe 6 to the discharge pipe 8, and then enter the quantitative bucket 2 from the discharge pipe 8, so that the mugwort leaves can be transported into the quantitative bucket 2 in a stable amount and stored inside the quantitative bucket 2. When the second driving component 16 rotates, the driving disc 17 will drive the driving column 19 on the connecting frame 18 to rotate at a stable speed, so that the driving column 19 will enter the driving groove 15, push the groove wheel 14 to rotate, drive the rotating disc 12 to rotate, so that the groove 13, which was originally misaligned with the quantitative bucket 2, gradually aligns with the feeding port of the quantitative bucket 2. At this time, the mugwort leaves in the quantitative bucket 2 can fall into the crushing device under the action of gravity, and under the vibration effect of the vibrating motor 20, the feeding speed and smoothness of the mugwort leaves can be improved. As the drive disc 17 continues to rotate, the drive column 19 enters the next drive groove 15, causing the rotating disc 12 to rotate again. This causes the groove opening 13 to be misaligned with the feed inlet of the metering barrel 2, and the lower end of the feed inlet of the metering barrel 2 becomes closed. Then, the drive disc 17 intermittently drives the groove wheel 14 to rotate, so that the groove opening 13 intermittently corresponds to the lower end of the metering barrel 2, realizing the intermittent opening and closing of the feed outlet of the metering barrel 2. This allows the mugwort leaves inside the metering barrel 2 to be stored in a measured quantity when the feed outlet of the metering barrel 2 is closed. When the feed outlet of the metering barrel 2 is open, the mugwort leaves fall into the crushing device. This ensures that the mugwort leaves in the metering barrel 2 fall into the crushing device in a stable and regular manner, avoiding the adverse effects on the crusher caused by excessive feeding at one time. This ensures the stable and efficient operation of the crusher and improves the overall quality and efficiency of mugwort processing.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
