[0002] The production of medicinal herbs involves various steps such as soaking and cutting. Current technologies typically employ fixed automatic conveyor systems for feeding and discharging the herbs into and out of processing equipment. However, the large number of processing devices and the overlapping of these systems increase the floor space required. Furthermore, the direct connection of these automatic conveyors to the processing equipment necessitates disassembly for subsequent cleaning, hindering proper equipment maintenance. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent feeding and discharging conveyor system for medicinal herb production that reduces the required floor space. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The intelligent feeding and discharging conveyor for medicinal material production described in this utility model will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc., are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture as shown in the attached figure. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0023] See appendix Figure 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, an intelligent feeding and discharging conveyor for medicinal material production includes a frame 1. The frame 1 is characterized by having a roller assembly 2 and a servo motor 3 driving the roller assembly 2 at its bottom. A conveying mechanism 4 and a lifting mechanism 5 driving the conveying mechanism 4 are mounted on the frame 1. The conveying mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 401, a belt conveyor 402 slidably mounted on the fixed frame 401, a drive source 403 driving the belt conveyor 402, and a storage bin 404 mounted on the belt conveyor 402 and fixed to the fixed frame 401. The drive source 403 can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a linear actuator. The servo motor 3 drives the conveyor. The roller assembly 2 drives the frame 1 and the lifting mechanism 5 and conveying mechanism 4 mounted on the frame 1 to move. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 5 drives the conveying mechanism 4 to lift and lower to feed and receive the medicinal materials, replacing the traditional fixed conveying device, reducing the space occupied, and also facilitating the later cleaning of the medicinal material processing equipment, improving the convenience of cleaning. The drive source 403 drives the belt conveyor 402 to move one end of the belt conveyor 402 to the top of the feed hopper of the medicinal material processing equipment, thereby preventing the medicinal materials from falling and causing waste. The storage box 404 is set on the belt conveyor 402 so that the belt conveyor 402 can play the role of storing materials when it is not conveying medicinal materials.
[0024] See appendix Figure 2 As shown, the fixed frame 401 is also equipped with a guide rail 405 for sliding guidance of the belt conveyor 402 and a slider 406 connected to the belt conveyor 402 and mounted on the guide rail 405; when the belt conveyor 402 slides, the slider 406 on the belt conveyor 402 slides along the guide rail 40, thereby guiding the sliding of the belt conveyor 402.
[0025] See appendix Figure 3As shown, the belt conveyor 402 includes a conveyor support 407, a plurality of rollers 408 mounted on the conveyor support 407, a conveyor belt 409 mounted on the rollers 408, and a motor 410 for driving the rollers 408 to rotate. Rollers 411 are also symmetrically mounted at both ends of the conveyor support 407. Brushes 412 that contact the surface of the conveyor belt 409 are provided on the rollers 411. The motor 410 drives the rollers 408 to rotate, and the rollers 408 drive the conveyor belt 409 to move and convey the medicinal materials, thereby facilitating the conveying of the medicinal materials. Since the brushes 412 are located at the bottom of the conveyor belt 409 and in contact with the conveyor belt 409, the conveyor belt 409 will push the brushes 412 to move during its movement. The brushes 412 drive the rollers 411 to rotate, and at the same time, the brushes 412 clean the conveyor belt 409 to prevent the medicinal materials from sticking to the surface of the conveyor belt 409.
[0026] See appendix Figure 4 As shown, both sides of the storage box 404 are equipped with a discharge gate 413 and a cylinder 414 for driving the discharge gate 413 to flip. The discharge gate 413 is driven to flip by the cylinder 414, which facilitates the opening and closing of the storage box 404.
[0027] See appendix Figure 1 As shown, the lifting mechanism 5 includes hydraulic cylinders 501 symmetrically mounted on the frame 1, sprockets 502 connected to the hydraulic cylinders 501, and a chain 503 connected at one end to the frame 1 and at the other end to the fixed frame 401. The chain 503 meshes with the sprockets 502. The hydraulic cylinders 501 drive the sprockets 502 to lift and lower, the sprockets 502 drive the chain 503 to move along the sprockets 502, and the chain 503 drives the fixed frame 401 to lift and lower, thereby facilitating the lifting and lowering of the material conveying mechanism 4.
[0028] See appendix Figure 1 As shown, the roller assembly 2 includes a rotating shaft 201 and rollers 202 mounted at both ends of the rotating shaft 201; a reducer 203 connected to the servo motor 3 is also mounted on the rotating shaft 201; a battery pack 101 for power supply is also mounted on the frame 1; the servo motor 3 drives the reducer 203 to work, the reducer 203 drives the rotating shaft 201 to rotate, the rotating shaft 201 drives the rollers 202 to rotate, and the frame 1 to move, thereby facilitating automated movement.
[0029] In the process of using this utility model, the medicinal materials to be transported are first placed in the storage box 404. When feeding is required, the servo motor 3 drives the reducer 203 to work, the reducer 203 drives the rotating shaft 201 to rotate, the rotating shaft 201 drives the roller 202 to rotate, and the frame 1 moves to the corresponding medicinal material processing equipment. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 501 drives the sprocket 502 to move upward, the sprocket 502 drives the chain 503 to move along the sprocket 502, and the chain 503 drives the fixed frame 401 to move upward until it rises to the feeding point of the medicinal material processing equipment. Then, the drive source 403 drives the belt conveyor 402 to move along the guide rail 405, moving one end of the belt conveyor 402 to the medicinal material processing equipment. Above the feed hopper, the other end of the belt conveyor 402 is flush with the end of the storage box 404 to prevent the herbs from falling. Then, the cylinder 414 drives the discharge gate 413 to flip, opening the storage box 404. At the same time, the motor 410 drives the roller 408 to rotate, and the roller 408 drives the conveyor belt 409 to transport the herbs. Because the brush 412 is located at the bottom of the conveyor belt 409 and is in contact with the conveyor belt 409, the movement of the conveyor belt 409 will push the brush 412 to move. The brush 412 drives the rolling shaft 411 to rotate, and at the same time, the brush 412 cleans the conveyor belt 409 to prevent the herbs from sticking to the surface of the conveyor belt 409. After the herbs are transported, the belt returns to its original position.
[0030] When feeding or discharging is required, the servo motor 3 drives the reducer 203 to work, the reducer 203 drives the rotating shaft 201 to rotate, the rotating shaft 201 drives the roller 202 to rotate, and the frame 1 moves to the corresponding medicinal material processing equipment. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 501 drives the sprocket 502 to move downward, the sprocket 502 drives the chain 503 to move along the sprocket 502, and the chain 503 drives the fixed frame 401 to move downward until it descends to the discharge point of the medicinal material processing equipment, where the material falls into the storage box. Then, the medicinal materials are transported to other places in the same way.
[0031] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
