Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0043] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention illustrates an intelligent traditional Chinese medicine metering device 10 in some embodiments. The intelligent traditional Chinese medicine metering device 10 is used to meter the medicinal material packaging 20 (the medicinal material packaging 20 is shown in...). Figure 1 and Figure 3 ), which can calculate the number of medicinal herbs in the package 20.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the herbal medicine packaging 20 includes a frame 1, a storage and metering mechanism 2, an I / O mechanism 3, and an identification mechanism 4. The storage and metering mechanism 2 and the I / O mechanism 3 are respectively mounted on the frame 1. The identification mechanism 4 is mounted on the herbal medicine packaging 20 and is used by the I / O mechanism 3 to identify the type of herbal medicine and the weight specifications of the herbal medicine packaging 20 stored in the storage and metering mechanism 20.

[0045] Understandably, the frame 1 serves to support and mount the remaining mechanisms. The storage and metering mechanism 2 is used to collect the medicinal material packages 20 in batches and measure the quantity of the medicinal material packages 20 stored within. The I / O mechanism 3 provides users with input commands or data and also provides corresponding feedback to the user.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the collection and measurement mechanism 2 includes several processing devices 21, several collection devices 22 and several weighing devices 23. Each processing device 21 is installed in the frame 1. Each processing device 21 is electrically connected to each weighing device 23 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each weighing device 23 is spaced apart on the frame 1. Each collection device 22 is connected to each weighing device 23 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each collection device 22 is used to collect the medicinal material packaging 20.

[0047] The I / O mechanism 3 includes a plurality of I / O devices 31, each I / O device 31 being electrically connected to each processing device 21 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each I / O device 31 includes a display 311 and a scanning terminal 312. Each display 311 is respectively mounted on the frame 1, and each scanning terminal 312 can be detachably mounted on the frame 1.

[0048] The identification mechanism 4 includes several package identification codes 41, which are set on the medicinal material package 20 and are scanned by the scanning dock 312.

[0049] Understandably, the processing device 21 is used to receive signals from the weighing device 23 and calculate the quantity of the herbal medicine packages 20. The storage device 22 is used to temporarily store the herbal medicine packages 20 that are to be measured or have already been measured, enabling batch management. The weighing device 23 is used to detect the total weight of the herbal medicine packages 20 in the storage device 22 and generate an electrical signal to send to the processing device 21.

[0050] The display 311 is used to show measurement results, operation instructions, or calibration parameter feedback. The scanning dock 312 can obtain the package identification code 41 by scanning the identification mechanism 4 to acquire information on the type and specifications of the medicinal materials. The detachable design of the scanning dock 312 is suitable for multi-station operation scenarios. The package identification code 41 of the identification mechanism 4 can be configured as a QR code or RFID tag, as is common in the prior art.

[0051] It should be noted that packet identification code 41 can store the following structured data fields:

[0052] Medicinal herb type code: A unique identifier for medicinal herb varieties (e.g., Astragalus membranaceus is coded as HQ-2025).

[0053] Single package weight specification: Defines the nominal weight of a single herbal medicine package (e.g., 5g, 10g, etc.).

[0054] Calibration parameter group: contains the baseline calibration value for this type of medicinal material (such as the total weight threshold corresponding to ten basic packages).

[0055] In actual use, the operator can operate the scanning dock 312 to scan the corresponding package identification code 41, and the processing device 21 will then load the corresponding medicinal material type and weight specification g1. The weighing device 23 weighs the corresponding storage device 22, that is, the weight G1 of all the medicinal material packages 20 put into the corresponding storage device 22. Assuming the number of medicinal material packages 20 is Q1, then Q1 = G1 / g1. In this way, the number of medicinal material packages 20 stored in the storage device 22 can be obtained, that is, how many packages of medicinal material 20 are placed in the storage device 22. At the same time, since each package identification code 41 uniquely corresponds to a certain medicinal material, the inventory of a certain type of medicinal material with the same weight specification can be completed at the same time as the measurement.

[0056] For example, an operator or medical staff can place packages 20 of the same type and weight into the storage device 22, and then use the scanning dock 312 corresponding to the storage device 22 to scan the package identification code 41 on the package 20. This will determine the number of packages 20 stored in the storage device 22. Of course, scanning the package identification code 41 and placing the packages 20 to be measured into the storage device 22 can be performed sequentially or simultaneously.

[0057] It should also be noted that "same weight specification" refers to the standard weight of a single package of medicinal materials 20 being the same. During actual inventory checks, operators or medical staff can place the packages of medicinal materials 20 in batches into the storage device 22, eliminating the need to place each package individually for each inventory check. Using this equipment in pharmacies with large inventories can significantly improve inventory efficiency, eliminate manual inventory errors, and increase inventory accuracy.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, each I / O device 31 further includes a telescopic support rod 313 and a connecting arm 314. One end of the telescopic support rod 313 is connected to the frame 1, and the other end of the telescopic support rod 313 is connected to the display 311. The connecting arm 314 is disposed on the telescopic support rod 313, and a fixing clip 315 is disposed on the connecting arm 314. The sweeping dock 312 is detachably disposed in the fixing clip 315.

[0059] Understandably, one end of the telescopic support rod 313 is connected to the frame 1, and the other end is connected to the display 311. The telescopic adjustment allows the viewing angle of the display 311 to be adapted to the ergonomic needs of different operators. The telescopic support rod 313 is a common telescopic and adjustable rod in the prior art. The connecting arm 314 is fixed to the surface of the telescopic support rod 313 and is used to install the extended sweeping dock 312.

[0060] The fixing clip 315 has a certain degree of elasticity. The fixing clip 315 can detachably fix the barcode scanner 312 through elasticity, which is convenient for quick replacement or maintenance of the barcode scanning component.

[0061] It should be noted that the content of this embodiment can improve the ease of use of the device.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, each weighing device 23 includes a fixed plate 231, a weighing sensor 232, and a positioning plate 233. The fixed plate 231 is disposed inside the frame 1, the weighing sensor 232 is disposed on the fixed plate 231, a portion of the weighing sensor 232 extends outside the frame 1 and is connected to the positioning plate 233, the positioning plate 233 is located outside the frame 1, the weighing sensor 232 is electrically connected to the processing device 21, and the storage device 22 is detachably disposed on the positioning plate 233.

[0063] Understandably, the fixing plate 231 is fixed to the inner side wall of the frame 1. The fixing plate 231 serves as the mounting base for the load cell 232 and can distribute mechanical stress. The main body of the load cell 232 is mounted on the fixing plate 231. The detection end of the load cell 232 extends through the side wall of the frame 1 to the outside and is rigidly connected to the positioning plate 233, directly transferring the load of the housing device 22 to the measuring structure of the load cell 232.

[0064] The positioning plate 233 is suspended on the outside of the frame 1, and the surface supports the storage device 22. After the positioning plate 233 bears the weight, the weighing sensor 232 will generate deformation data, thereby generating a weight electrical signal and transmitting it to the processing device 21.

[0065] It should be noted that, in actual use, the weight of the storage device 22 containing the herbal medicine packages 20 will be transmitted to the weighing sensor 232 through the positioning plate 233, so that the weighing sensor 232 can weigh all the herbal medicine packages 20 in the corresponding storage device 22.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, the positioning plate 233 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 2331; the bottom of the storage device 22 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 2211, and each positioning post 2211 is disassembled and inserted into each positioning hole 2331 in a corresponding manner.

[0067] Understandably, the positioning holes 2331 can be configured to be symmetrically distributed on the surface of the positioning plate 233, and the diameter of the positioning holes 2331 is adapted to the diameter of the positioning posts 2211 to form a mechanical guiding structure. The positioning posts 2211 are vertically set at the bottom of the storage device 22, and can be inserted into the positioning holes 2331 to achieve alignment and fixation, so that the central axis of the storage device 22 coincides with the force direction of the load cell 232.

[0068] It should be noted that the insertion structure of the positioning column 2211 and the positioning hole 2331 can achieve quick alignment and installation of the storage device 22 and anti-off-center load control without the need for additional locking components, reduce the linearity error of the weighing sensor 232, and ensure the accuracy of inventory.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, the storage device 22 includes a base plate 221 and several peripheral plates 222. Each peripheral plate 222 is arranged along the periphery of the base plate 221, so that each peripheral plate 222 surrounds a storage cavity 223 on the base plate 221. The storage cavity 223 is used to store the medicine package 20. The base plate 221 is detachably connected to the weighing device 23.

[0070] Understandably, the base plate 221 is detachably connected to the positioning plate 233 of the weighing device 23. Quick assembly and disassembly are achieved through the insertion structure of the positioning post 2211 and the positioning hole 2331, which facilitates cleaning or replacement of damaged parts. The peripheral plate 222 is fixed to the periphery of the base plate 221, forming a storage cavity 223.

[0071] It should be noted that each peripheral plate 222 can be configured to be inclined around the periphery of the base plate 221, thereby giving the storage cavity 223 a larger storage space and thus being able to store more space.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, the processing device 21 includes a power supply 211, a chassis 212, and a circuit board 213. The power supply 211 is located inside the chassis 212, the chassis 212 is located inside the frame 1, and the circuit board 213 is located inside the frame 1. The power supply 211 is connected to the circuit board 213, and the circuit board 213 is electrically connected to the weighing device 23 and the I / O device 31.

[0073] Understandably, power supply 211 is used to store electrical energy and supply it to the mechanisms and components on the equipment that require power when needed. Chassis 212 is used to house, install, and protect circuit board 213. Circuit board 213 is used to receive corresponding electrical signals and, based on these signals, control the corresponding mechanisms and components to provide corresponding feedback.

[0074] It should be noted that a remote communication module can be installed on the circuit board, enabling the device to interact with external communication terminals or servers; thus, users can quickly obtain inventory results at the communication terminal.

[0075] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, the power supply 211 includes a battery box 2111 and a battery 2112. The battery box 2111 is disposed in the frame 1, and a conductive wire 2113 is disposed on the battery box 2111. The battery 2112 is disposed in the battery box 2111 and is electrically connected to the conductive wire 2113. The conductive wire 2113 is electrically connected to the circuit board 213.

[0076] Understandably, the battery box 2111 serves to store and protect the batteries 2112, which can be common batteries in the prior art such as lithium batteries or dry cell batteries. The conductive wires 2113 are used to transmit current, and the number of conductive wires 2113 can be configured to be multiple. The arrangement of the conductive wires 2113 allows electrical energy to be input into the batteries 2112 for storage, and also enables the stored electrical energy to be transmitted to the corresponding electrical components and devices.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, the identification mechanism 4 further includes several storage identification codes 42, each storage identification code 42 corresponding to different specifications of medicinal material packages 20.

[0078] Each storage identification code 42 is set on the herb shelf 30. The herb shelf 30 has multiple storage layers 40 along its height. Each storage layer 40 corresponds to storing herb packages 20 of different sizes. Each storage identification code 42 corresponds one-to-one with each storage layer 40.

[0079] Understandably, the identification code 42 can be configured as an NFC tag or a QR code. The herbal medicine shelf 30 is used to store herbal medicines. Each storage layer 40 corresponds to storing herbal medicine packages 20 of different sizes. Each storage layer 40 contains herbal medicine packages 20 of the same type and weight.

[0080] It should be noted that after scanning the storage identification code 42 by scanning the dock 312, the processing device 21 automatically matches the specifications of the medicinal material packages 20 that are allowed to be stored on that layer, so that the equipment can also quickly inventory the medicinal material packages 20 of the same weight and specifications of that medicinal material.

[0081] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent traditional Chinese medicine metering device 10, the intelligent traditional Chinese medicine metering device 10 also includes a moving mechanism 5, which includes a plurality of moving wheels 51, each of which is respectively disposed at the bottom of the frame 1.

[0082] Understandably, the casters 51 are omnidirectional casters. Two of the casters 51 can be configured as locking casters with braking function. The casters 51 can be configured to be fixed to the bottom of the frame 1 by bolts, and all the casters 51 together support the weight of the entire machine and achieve smooth displacement.

[0083] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, the frame 1 is provided with several maintenance partitions 11, and each metering device 2 is correspondingly set in each maintenance partition 11.

[0084] The frame 1 is provided with several movable doors 12, each of which is rotatably connected to the frame 1. Each movable door 12 is used to open or cover the maintenance area 11 during rotation.

[0085] Understandably, each maintenance compartment 11 independently accommodates one metering device 2. The movable door 12 can be configured to be connected to the side of the frame 1 via hinges, with a sealing strip embedded on the inside of the door to prevent dust from entering the maintenance compartment 11 when closed. A transparent observation window can be further provided on the movable door 12 for quick inspection of the internal condition.

[0086] It should be noted that the modular maintenance partition 11 and the movable door 12 enable the rapid isolation and replacement of faulty components, thus shortening equipment maintenance downtime.

[0087] like Figure 7 As shown, in some other embodiments of the intelligent Chinese medicine metering device 10, the storage and metering mechanism 2 includes a processing device 21, a weighing device 23, and multiple storage devices 22. The processing device 21 is disposed within the frame 1, and the weighing device 23 is disposed on the frame 1. Each storage device 22 is detachably connected to the weighing device 23. The I / O mechanism 3 includes an I / O device 31, which is electrically connected to the processing device 21. Each storage device 22 is used to store the herbal medicine packaging.

[0088] Understandably, through the content of this embodiment, the equipment only needs to be set up with a small frame 1 to install a weighing device 23, which effectively reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment on the one hand, and greatly improves the overall compactness of the equipment on the other hand.

[0089] It should be noted that in actual use, multiple storage devices 22 can be moved to different locations and used by different medical staff or operators to store the medicinal materials. After storage, the corresponding storage device 22 is installed on the weighing device 23, and the corresponding package identification code 41 is scanned to quickly determine the quantity of that type of medicinal material package 20. In this way, multiple storage devices 22 can store different categories of medicinal material packages 20 separately, avoiding the problem of a single storage device 22 occupying the weighing device 23 for a long time. This further improves inventory efficiency and avoids the problem of excessive equipment cost caused by setting up multiple weighing devices 23 and multiple I / O devices 31.

[0090] The following are the beneficial effects of implementing this utility model:

[0091] This utility model relates to an intelligent Chinese medicine metering device. The intelligent Chinese medicine metering device sets up multiple weighing devices distributed at intervals and corresponding processing devices and storage devices, so that the packaging of different kinds of Chinese medicinal materials can be metered in parallel through independent weighing units, thereby solving the problem of low inventory efficiency caused by a single device being able to process only one kind of medicinal material per unit time.

[0092] This intelligent Chinese medicine metering device also solves the efficiency loss problem caused by having to manually calibrate the reference value repeatedly when changing the type of medicinal material by setting up an I / O device with a detachable scanning head and an identification mechanism with a package identification code. It uses barcode scanning technology to obtain information on the variety and weight specifications of medicinal materials and associate them with pre-stored calibration parameters.

[0093] In addition, the scanning dock is set to be detachable and the display is set independently in different positions on the rack. This ensures the visualization of the operation while realizing the equipment layout flexibility of multi-station synchronous scanning operation, thereby further improving the processing efficiency of batch inventory of medicinal materials.

[0094] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses; for parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
