Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, and in particular to a medicinal material feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processing, especially when using intelligent sorting devices to finely screen TCM to remove foreign objects and defective products, it is often necessary to evenly spread the TCM on a conveyor so that industrial cameras can accurately identify materials of different specifications. This allows intelligent sorting software (based on deep learning algorithms) to effectively separate foreign objects and defective products. However, existing TCM feeding devices have several shortcomings: First, the diverse materials and complex shapes of TCM often cause blockages at the discharge port when piled-up herbs enter the feeding system, affecting the efficiency and stability of the entire sorting process. Second, a certain amount of impurities and residues are inevitably generated during the collection, processing, and transportation of TCM. If these impurities and residues enter the conveying system along with the herbs, they may affect the quality of the final screened herbs, increasing the difficulty and cost of subsequent processing. Third, existing feeding devices do not achieve uniform spreading of TCM, affecting the identification and differentiation capabilities of intelligent sorting devices, resulting in poor sorting performance and failing to meet the needs of high-quality TCM processing and production.

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this patent aims to propose a medicinal herb feeding device that can effectively solve the problems of poor material feeding due to accumulation, removal of impurities and residues, and uniform spreading of medicinal herbs, so as to improve the overall efficiency and quality of intelligent sorting of medicinal herbs.

[0004] Based on this, the applicant is considering designing a medicinal material feeding device that can smoothly feed materials, remove impurities and residues, and evenly spread medicinal materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to provide a medicinal material feeding device that can smoothly feed materials, remove impurities and residues, and evenly spread medicinal materials.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A medicinal material feeding device includes a hopper, a dispersing roller, a flat sieve plate, a slag collecting component, a first driving mechanism, and a second driving mechanism.

[0008] The bottom of the hopper is provided with a discharge port, and a discharge roller is rotatably installed at the discharge port. A support plate is connected to the outer wall of the discharge roller. The support plate can open and close the discharge port and extend into the hopper as the discharge roller rotates.

[0009] The dispersing roller is rotatably mounted below the feeding roller, and the first driving mechanism is used to drive the feeding roller and the dispersing roller to rotate;

[0010] The flat sieve plate is movably disposed below the dispersing roller, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the flat sieve plate to reciprocate. The flat sieve plate is provided with a filtering section, and the slag collecting component is located below the filtering section.

[0011] The working principle and advantages of the medicinal material feeding device in this technical solution are as follows:

[0012] The medicinal materials to be processed are fed into the hopper. Then, the first drive mechanism drives the rotating feed roller, which is mounted at the bottom of the hopper's feed inlet, to rotate. A support plate opens and closes the feed inlet as the feed roller rotates, thus controlling the feeding of the medicinal materials. When the support plate rotates, it can also extend into the hopper to agitate the material inside, preventing blockages and obstructions in the feed inlet due to the accumulation of medicinal materials. After the medicinal materials are fed, they enter the area below the feed roller. At this point, a dispersing roller, driven by the first drive mechanism, disperses the medicinal materials, effectively preventing clumping and ensuring that the materials fall into the flat area in a relatively loose state. On the sieve plate, the flat sieve plate reciprocates and vibrates under the drive of the second drive mechanism. Under the action of the reciprocating inertial force of the flat sieve plate, the medicinal materials on it are evenly spread out and output to the conveying equipment or other equipment. At the same time, during the reciprocating motion of the flat sieve plate, the impurities and residues mixed in with the medicinal materials will fall into the slag collection device through the filtration section under the combined action of their own gravity and the movement of the flat sieve plate. The medicinal material feeding device of this solution can smoothly feed materials, remove impurities and residues, and evenly spread the medicinal materials, thereby improving the effect, efficiency and quality of Chinese medicinal material processing.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes an adjusting roller rotatably mounted above the flat sieve plate. The adjusting roller has a scraper plate on its outer side wall. The adjusting roller can adjust the rotation angle to adjust the gap distance between the scraper plate and the flat sieve plate.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a magnetic chuck, and the end of the adjusting roller is connected to a lever block that magnetically attracts the magnetic chuck. The magnetic chuck is provided with scale markings that display the gap distance between the scraper plate and the flat sieve plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer wall of the feeding roller is detachably connected to at least two opposing support plates, and the outer wall of the dispersing roller is provided with several protruding support rods.

[0016] Furthermore, both the flat sieve plate and the slag collecting component are inclined, and their inclination directions are opposite. The filtration section of the flat sieve plate includes a plurality of filter holes.

[0017] Furthermore, the slag collecting component is a concave plate, including two oppositely arranged sides, and a sliding groove is provided on one of the opposite sides of each side. The two pairs of side walls of the flat screen plate are respectively fixedly connected with sliders that are slidably arranged in the sliding grooves.

[0018] Furthermore, the second driving mechanism is a telescopic mechanism, and the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism is connected to the flat sieve plate.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes an installation frame, on which the dispersing roller, the flattening screen plate, the slag collecting component, the first drive mechanism, and the second drive mechanism are all installed.

[0020] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes two oppositely arranged mounting plates, a first irregular plate, and a second irregular plate. The first irregular plate and the second irregular plate are respectively fixedly connected to the two mounting plates at both ends. The first irregular plate, the second irregular plate, and the two mounting plates together form the hopper.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a conveying mechanism located below the flat sieve plate to receive medicinal materials falling from the flat sieve plate. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Refer to together Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a medicinal material feeding device, which includes a hopper 100, a dispersing roller 200, a flat sieve plate 300, a slag collecting component 400, a first driving mechanism, and a second driving mechanism.

[0040] The bottom of the hopper 100 is provided with a discharge port, and a discharge roller 110 is rotatably installed at the discharge port. A support plate 111 is connected to the outer wall of the discharge roller 110. The support plate 111 can open and close the discharge port and extend into the hopper 100 as the discharge roller 110 rotates.

[0041] The dispersing roller 200 is rotatably mounted below the feeding roller 110, and the first driving mechanism is used to drive the feeding roller 110 and the dispersing roller 200 to rotate.

[0042] The flat sieve plate 300 is moved and positioned below the dispersing roller 200. The second drive mechanism is used to drive the flat sieve plate 300 to reciprocate. A filter section is provided on the flat sieve plate 300, and the slag collection component 400 is located below the filter section.

[0043] In this embodiment, the medicinal materials to be processed are fed into the hopper 100. Then, the first driving mechanism drives the feeding roller 110, which is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the hopper 100, to rotate. The support plate 111 opens and closes the feeding port as the feeding roller 110 rotates, thereby controlling the feeding of the medicinal materials. When the support plate 111 rotates, it can also extend into the hopper 100 to agitate the material inside, preventing blockage and obstruction of the feeding port due to accumulation of medicinal materials. After the medicinal materials are fed, they enter the area below the feeding roller 110. At this time, the dispersing roller 200, driven by the first driving mechanism, can disperse the medicinal materials, effectively preventing agglomeration and ensuring that the medicinal materials are processed in a controlled manner. The herbs fall loosely onto the flat sieve plate 300. Driven by the second drive mechanism, the flat sieve plate 300 reciprocates and vibrates. Under the vibration of the flat sieve plate 300, the herbs are evenly spread out and output to conveying equipment or other equipment. At the same time, during the reciprocating motion of the flat sieve plate 300, impurities and residues mixed in with the herbs will fall into the slag collection unit 400 through the filtration section and be collected under the combined action of their own gravity and the movement of the flat sieve plate 300. The herb feeding device of this solution can smoothly feed the herbs, remove impurities and residues, and evenly spread the herbs, thereby improving the effect, efficiency and quality of Chinese herbal medicine processing.

[0044] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the herbal feeding device also includes an adjusting roller 500 rotatably mounted above the flat sieve plate 300. The adjusting roller 500 has a scraper plate 510 on its outer side wall. The adjusting roller 500 can adjust its rotation angle to adjust the gap between the scraper plate 510 and the flat sieve plate 300. When the herbal materials are reciprocated on the flat sieve plate 300 for flattening, the flattening effect can be further optimized by the adjusting roller 500. The adjusting roller 500 is rotatably mounted above the flat sieve plate 300, and there is a certain gap between the scraper plate 510 on its outer side wall and the flat sieve plate 300. By adjusting the rotation angle of the adjusting roller 500, the gap between the scraper plate 510 and the flat sieve plate 300 can be precisely changed, which can adapt to different types and specifications of Chinese herbal materials. For medicinal materials of different shapes and sizes, the scraper plate 510 can appropriately scrape and restrict the medicinal materials on the flat sieve plate 300. When the adjusting roller 500 is set near the feeding end of the flat sieve plate 300, it can prevent the accumulated medicinal materials from falling down from the flat sieve plate 300.

[0045] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the herbal feeding device also includes a magnetic chuck 520. An actuating block 530, magnetically attracted to the magnetic chuck 520, is connected to the end of the adjusting roller 500. The magnetic chuck 520 has a scale mark 521 indicating the gap between the scraper plate 510 and the flat sieve plate 300. When adjusting the gap between the scraper plate 510 and the flat sieve plate 300, the operator can manually actuate the actuating block 530, which is magnetically connected to the magnetic chuck 520, to rotate the adjusting roller 500, thereby changing the gap between the scraper plate 510 and the flat sieve plate 300. The scale mark 521 on the magnetic chuck 520 can intuitively display the current gap distance value, allowing the operator to adjust it according to actual needs and conditions. The volume of the medicinal materials is precisely adjusted to the required gap distance. The magnetic connection between the magnetic chuck 520 and the lever block 530 makes the adjustment operation simple and convenient. No complicated tools or equipment are required. The operator only needs to manually turn the lever block 530 to complete the adjustment, which reduces the difficulty of operation, saves adjustment time, and improves production efficiency. The magnetic connection between the magnetic chuck 520 and the lever block 530 has a certain degree of stability, ensuring that the gap distance after adjustment can remain stable, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the medicinal material feeding process. Specifically, the magnetic chuck 520 is disc-shaped, and the end of the adjusting roller 500 passes through the center of the magnetic chuck 520 and is detachably connected to the lever block 530.

[0046] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least two opposing support plates 111 are detachably connected to the outer wall of the feeding roller 110, and several support rods 210 protrude from the outer wall of the dispersing roller 200. When the feeding roller 110 rotates under the drive of the first driving mechanism, the at least two opposing support plates 111 detachably connected to its outer wall rotate accordingly. During the rotation, the support plates 111 can block or guide the medicinal materials at the feeding port. Support plates 111 of different shapes or sizes can be replaced according to different types of medicinal materials. When the dispersing roller 200 rotates under the drive of the first driving mechanism, the several support rods 210 protruding from its outer wall come into contact with the medicinal materials during the rotation, breaking up the agglomerated medicinal materials and making them loose and uniform.

[0047] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, both the flat sieve plate 300 and the slag collection component 400 are inclined, and their inclination directions are opposite. The filter section of the flat sieve plate 300 includes several filter holes 301. When the flat sieve plate 300 is inclined, the medicinal materials can slide smoothly downwards on the flat sieve plate 300, which facilitates the transport of the medicinal materials. When the slag collection component 400 is inclined, impurities and residues fall to the slag collection component 400 and slide and are transported along the inclination direction of the slag collection component 400, which facilitates the collection of impurities and residues. The filter section on the flat sieve plate 300 is composed of several filter holes 301, which can filter out small impurities and residues in the medicinal materials. Since the inclination directions of the flat sieve plate 300 and the slag collection component 400 are opposite, the transport direction of the medicinal materials is opposite to the transport direction of the impurities and residues, which facilitates the separate processing of the medicinal materials and the impurities and residues.

[0048] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the slag collecting component 400 is a concave plate, including two oppositely arranged sides. A groove 410 is provided on each opposite side of the two sides. Sliding blocks 310, which are slidably disposed within the grooves 410, are fixedly connected to the two pairs of side walls of the flat screen plate 300. When the second drive mechanism drives the flat screen plate 300 to reciprocate, the flat screen plate 300 moves smoothly back and forth by sliding the sliding blocks 310 within the grooves 410, ensuring the stability and straightness of the flat screen plate 300 during movement. Simultaneously, the slag collecting component 400 of the concave plate can effectively collect impurities and residues falling from the filtration section. Specifically, an elastic element 411 is provided within the groove 410. When the flat screen plate 300 moves, the sliding blocks 310 contact the elastic element 411, providing a buffering and noise reduction effect. The elastic element 411 can be a rubber block or a spring.

[0049] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the second driving mechanism is a telescopic mechanism 320, and the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 320 is connected to the flat sieve plate 300. When the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 320 moves in a telescopic motion under the action of the driving force, it directly drives the flat sieve plate 300 to reciprocate linearly in a preset direction. The telescopic mechanism 320 can adopt telescopic devices such as telescopic rods or telescopic cylinders in the prior art.

[0050] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the herbal feeding device also includes a mounting frame, on which the dispersing roller 200, the flat sieve plate 300, the slag collecting component 400, the first drive mechanism, and the second drive mechanism are all mounted. The herbal feeding device integrates the dispersing roller 200, the flat sieve plate 300, the slag collecting component 400, the first drive mechanism, and the second drive mechanism together through the mounting frame, providing a stable support for these components.

[0051] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting frame includes two opposing mounting plates 600, a first shaped plate 610, and a second shaped plate 620. The first shaped plate 610 and the second shaped plate 620 are fixedly connected at both ends to the two mounting plates 600, respectively. The first shaped plate 610, the second shaped plate 620, and the two mounting plates 600 together form a hopper 100. The first shaped plate 610 and the second shaped plate 620 are fixedly connected at both ends to two vertical mounting plates 600, forming a stable frame structure that encloses the hopper 100. Specifically, the aforementioned feeding roller 110, dispersing roller 200, and adjusting roller... The two ends of 500 are respectively rotatably mounted on two mounting plates 600. The two side walls of the slag collecting component 400 are respectively fixedly connected to the two mounting plates 600. A connecting plate 330 is fixedly connected to the two mounting plates 600. The aforementioned telescopic mechanism 320 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 330. The aforementioned first driving mechanism is a driving box 630 fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 600. A rotary motor of the prior art can be installed in the driving box 630. The rotary motor can drive the dispersing roller 200 and the feeding roller 110 to rotate through gear transmission or direct connection of the output shaft. The aforementioned magnetic chuck 520 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0052] Preferably, as another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the herbal feeding device also includes a conveying mechanism 700, which is located below the flat sieve plate 300 to receive the herbal materials falling from the flat sieve plate 300. After the flat sieve plate 300 completes the screening and flattening of the herbal materials, the herbal materials fall onto the conveying mechanism 700 under their own weight and the vibration of the flat sieve plate 300. The conveying mechanism 700 can smoothly transport the flattened herbal materials to the next process, such as an intelligent sorting device or other processing equipment, to realize continuous automated processing of the herbal materials. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 700 adopts a belt conveyor as used in the prior art.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
