Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a weighing and packaging device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. It realizes a continuous operation from storage to packaging of Chinese herbal medicine slices, eliminating the need for additional bagging steps. It not only facilitates the stable clamping of the packaging bags but also allows for quick replacement of the packaging bags, improving operational efficiency and work continuity. This effectively improves work efficiency and solves the problems of existing technologies that require a separate bagging process, which prevents timely bagging, wastes working time, affects the continuity of packaging work, and consequently affects work efficiency.
[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a weighing and dispensing device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces includes a workbench. A support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench. A storage turntable and a dispensing turntable are rotatably mounted on the front of the support frame. Storage components are mounted in a circular array and evenly distributed on the front of the storage turntable. Dispensing components are mounted in a circular array and evenly distributed on the front of the dispensing turntable. The storage components and dispensing components are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The storage component includes a storage cylinder, and a solenoid valve is fixedly installed at the discharge pipe of the storage cylinder. The dispensing component includes a dispensing bag, two fixed clamps, and two elastic clamps. The open end of the dispensing bag is fitted between the elastic clamps. The two sides of the dispensing bag are clamped and fixed by the fixed clamps and elastic clamps. An electronic scale is attached to the bottom of the dispensing bag corresponding to the storage cylinder. The electronic scale is installed in the middle of the dispensing turntable and can move up and down.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a support ring is fixedly connected to the back of both the storage turntable and the dispensing turntable. The support ring is connected to the front of the support frame via a bearing. A toothed ring is fixedly connected to the circumferential sidewall of both the storage turntable and the dispensing turntable. The toothed rings are meshed with each other. A motor is fixedly installed inside the support frame. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the storage turntable.
[0008] This design facilitates stable support for the storage turntable and the dispensing turntable. When the motor is started, the gear ring facilitates synchronous rotation of the storage and dispensing turntables, ensuring that the storage and dispensing components always correspond one-to-one. There is no need to set up a separate drive device for the dispensing turntable, which simplifies the equipment structure, reduces energy consumption, and ensures the continuity of the weighing and dispensing process, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a vertically arranged lifting channel is provided between the middle of the dispensing turntable and the support frame.

[0010] With this setup, the electric push rod can drive the lifting plate to slide up and down along the lifting channel, thereby driving the electronic scale to rise and fall synchronously. When it is necessary to weigh the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the packaging bag, the electronic scale rises and fits against the bottom of the packaging bag to accurately detect the weight. After weighing, the electronic scale descends and detaches from the packaging bag to avoid affecting the rotation of the packaging turntable. This achieves coordinated operation between the weighing action and the turntable rotation, ensuring the accuracy of the weighing process.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the back of each storage cylinder, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the front of the storage turntable by bolts.
[0012] This design enables a detachable connection between the storage cylinder and the storage turntable.

[0014] With this design, the elastic force of the spring acts on the elastic clamping plate through the slide bar and ear plate, making the elastic clamping plate and the fixed clamping plate fit tightly together, thereby clamping and fixing the open end of the dispensing bag to prevent material leakage during the filling process. When it is necessary to replace the dispensing bag, pushing the stop block inward can compress the spring, causing the elastic clamping plate to move and separate from the fixed clamping plate, which facilitates quick loading and unloading of the dispensing bag, making the operation convenient and further improving the continuity of the dispensing work.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide rod is fixedly connected between the stop block and the ear plate, and the guide rod slides through the fixed clamping plate.
[0016] This design guides the movement of the elastic clamp, preventing it from shifting under the force of the spring and external pulling. This ensures that the elastic clamp and the fixed clamp remain parallel and aligned, guaranteeing a stable clamping effect on the packaging bags and making it easy to use.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the synchronous rotation design of the storage turntable and the dispensing turntable, and with the one-to-one corresponding storage and dispensing components, the continuous operation of Chinese herbal medicine slices from storage to dispensing is realized, eliminating the extra bagging step. The liftable structure of the electronic scale ensures weighing accuracy without affecting the operation of the turntable. The cooperation between the elastic clamp and the fixed clamp not only facilitates the stable clamping of the dispensing bags but also facilitates the quick replacement of the dispensing bags, improving operational efficiency and the continuity of work, thereby effectively improving work efficiency.

[0024] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece weighing and packaging device provided by this utility model includes a workbench 1. A support frame 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. A storage turntable 2 and a packaging turntable 3 are rotatably mounted on the front of the support frame 101. Storage components 4 are mounted in a circular array and evenly distributed on the front of the storage turntable 2. Packaging components 5 are mounted in a circular array and evenly distributed on the front of the packaging turntable 3. The storage components 4 and packaging components 5 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The storage components 4 include... The storage cylinder 401 has a solenoid valve 402 fixedly installed at its discharge pipe. The dispensing component 5 includes a dispensing bag 6, two fixed clamping plates 501 and two elastic clamping plates 502. The open end of the dispensing bag 6 is fitted between the elastic clamping plates 502. The two sides of the dispensing bag 6 are clamped and fixed by the fixed clamping plates 501 and the elastic clamping plates 502. An electronic scale 7 is attached to the bottom of the dispensing bag 6 corresponding to the storage cylinder 401. The electronic scale 7 is installed in the middle of the dispensing turntable 3 and can move up and down.
[0027] Specifically, a support ring 203 is fixedly connected to the back of both the storage turntable 2 and the dispensing turntable 3. The support ring 203 is connected to the front of the support frame 101 through a bearing. A toothed ring 202 is fixedly connected to the circumferential sidewall of both the storage turntable 2 and the dispensing turntable 3. The toothed rings 202 are meshed with each other. A motor 201 is fixedly installed inside the support frame 101. The output end of the motor 201 is fixedly connected to the middle of the storage turntable 2.
[0028] The above scheme facilitates stable support for the storage turntable 2 and the dispensing turntable 3. When the motor 201 is started, the gear ring 202 facilitates the synchronous rotation of the storage turntable 2 and the dispensing turntable 3, ensuring that the storage component 4 and the dispensing component 5 always correspond one-to-one. There is no need to set up a separate drive device for the dispensing turntable 3, which simplifies the equipment structure, reduces energy consumption, and ensures the continuity of the weighing and dispensing process, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0029] Specifically, a vertically arranged lifting channel 301 is provided between the middle of the dispensing turntable 3 and the support frame 101. A lifting plate 701 is slidably connected in the lifting channel 301. The electronic scale 7 is fixedly installed on the front top of the lifting plate 701. An electric push rod 702 is fixedly installed inside the support frame 101. The output end of the electric push rod 702 is fixedly connected to the rear bottom of the lifting plate 701.
[0030] Using the above scheme, the electric push rod 702 can drive the lifting plate 701 to slide up and down along the lifting channel 301, thereby driving the electronic scale 7 to rise and fall synchronously. When it is necessary to weigh the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the packaging bag 6, the electronic scale 7 rises and fits against the bottom of the packaging bag 6 to accurately detect the weight. After weighing, the electronic scale 7 descends and detaches from the packaging bag 6 to avoid affecting the rotation of the packaging turntable 3, thus achieving coordinated operation between the weighing action and the turntable rotation and ensuring the accuracy of the weighing process.
[0031] Specifically, a fixing plate 403 is fixedly connected to the back of each storage cylinder 401, and the fixing plate 403 is fixedly connected to the front of the storage turntable 2 by bolts.
[0032] By adopting the above solution, the storage cylinder 401 and the storage turntable 2 can be detachably connected. When it is necessary to replace different types of Chinese herbal medicine pieces or clean the storage cylinder 401, the storage cylinder 401 can be easily disassembled and installed, which improves the flexibility and maintenance convenience of the equipment.
[0033] Specifically, the fixed clamping plate 501 is fixedly connected to the front of the dispensing turntable 3, the elastic clamping plate 502 is fixedly connected to the ear plate 503, the ear plate 503 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 504, the end of the sliding rod 504 slides through to the outside of the fixed clamping plate 501 and is fixedly connected to the stop block 505, and a spring 507 is fixedly connected between the stop block 505 and the outer wall of the fixed clamping plate 501, and the spring 507 is sleeved on the sliding rod 504.
[0034] Using the above scheme, the elastic force of spring 507 acts on elastic clamping plate 502 through sliding rod 504 and ear plate 503, so that elastic clamping plate 502 and fixed clamping plate 501 are tightly fitted, thereby clamping and fixing the open end of the dispensing bag 6 to prevent material leakage during the filling process. When it is necessary to replace the dispensing bag 6, pushing the stop block 505 inward can compress spring 507, so that elastic clamping plate 502 moves and separates from fixed clamping plate 501, which facilitates quick picking and putting in dispensing bag 6, making the operation convenient and further improving the continuity of dispensing work.
[0035] Specifically, a guide rod 506 is fixedly connected between the stop block 505 and the ear plate 503, and the guide rod 506 slides through the fixed clamping plate 501.
[0036] Using the above scheme, the guide rod 506 guides the movement of the elastic clamp 502, preventing the elastic clamp 502 from shifting under the force of the spring 507 and the pull of external force, ensuring that the elastic clamp 502 and the fixed clamp 501 always remain parallel and aligned, ensuring a stable clamping effect on the dispensing bag 6 and making it easy to use.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model:
[0038] In use, the Chinese herbal medicine slices are loaded into the storage cylinder 401 on the storage turntable 2. The elastic clamp 502 and the fixed clamp 501 work together to clamp and fix the open end of the dispensing bag 6 onto the dispensing component 5 of the dispensing turntable 3. The motor 201 drives the storage turntable 2 to rotate, causing the dispensing turntable 3 to rotate synchronously, ensuring that the corresponding storage component 4 and dispensing component 5 are always aligned. When a set of storage cylinders 401 are aligned with the dispensing bag 6, the electric push rod 702 drives the lifting plate 701 to rise, causing the electronic scale 7 to contact the bottom of the dispensing bag 6. The solenoid valve 402 of the storage cylinder 401 opens, releasing the Chinese herbal medicine slices into the dispensing bag 6. The electronic scale 7 monitors the weight of the medicinal slices in real time. Once the preset weight is reached, the solenoid valve 402 closes, and the electric push rod 702 drives the lifting plate 701 to descend, causing the electronic scale 7 to detach from the dispensing bag 6. The turntable continues to rotate, and the next set of storage components 4 and dispensing components 5 enter the working position, repeating the above process. When the dispensing bag 6 needs to be replaced, the stop block 505 is pushed to compress the spring 507, causing the elastic clamp 502 to separate from the fixed clamp 501, allowing the old bag to be removed and the new bag to be installed. After the spring 507 resets, it is clamped and fixed again. This achieves continuous automatic weighing and dispensing of Chinese medicinal slices, reducing process intervals and improving work efficiency.
