Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece preparation technology, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece preparation unit machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) dispensing methods are cumbersome, time-consuming, and susceptible to human error, resulting in low efficiency and a high error rate. The quality of TCM decoction dispensing is affected by many factors and is difficult to control. From receiving the prescription, reviewing it, dispensing, verifying, packaging, labeling, to distributing the decoction to the patient, multiple steps are involved, each requiring extremely high accuracy, precision, and timeliness from the operators. Manual dispensing of TCM is prone to errors due to fatigue or differences in skill level. Inaccurate manual dispensing can lead to misidentification of the principal and auxiliary herbs, and serious deviations in the medicinal properties. Furthermore, dispensing personnel need to constantly move around to handle and dispense the herbs, requiring them to stand, resulting in high labor intensity.

[0003] The Chinese herbal medicine dispensing unit machine achieves rapid and accurate dispensing of Chinese herbal medicines through automated equipment. It not only performs standardized operations according to preset programs, ensuring consistency and stability in dispensing, but also offers advantages such as improved dispensing efficiency, reduced error rates, and convenient supervision, meeting the needs of different levels of businesses, including large hospitals, Chinese medicine pharmacies, and health product manufacturers. The existing utility model patent document with publication number CN210896634U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine preparation and sample retention device, which describes the following: the bottom of the medicine hopper is provided with a slider, and the bottom plate is provided with a sliding groove that slides with the slider to allow the medicine hopper to slide with the bottom plate. The medicine hopper is provided with a vibration mechanism, which includes a fixed shell, push-pull rods, connecting rods, transmission rods, transmission discs, and a vibration motor. The fixed shell is located at the end of the medicine hopper away from the outlet, and the bottom of the fixed shell is fixedly connected to the bottom plate. Several push-pull rods are provided, and several push-pull rods slide through the fixed shell. One end of several push-pull rods is fixedly connected to the end of the medicine hopper away from the outlet, and the other end is located inside the fixed shell. The connecting rod is located inside the fixed shell, and each push-pull rod is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. One end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to the eccentric circle of the transmission disc. The vibration motor is driven by the transmission disc. It uses a vibratory feeding method. Although the vibratory feeding speed is relatively fast, the accuracy of the feeding amount is low, and the vibration mechanism of the device is also relatively complex.

[0004] In particular, existing Chinese herbal medicine dispensing units generally share a single channel when feeding various ingredients. Some residual mixed materials may adhere to the shared channel, causing channel contamination. These mixed materials will affect the dispensing of Chinese herbal medicine in the next batch, thus affecting the efficacy of the medicine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece dispensing unit machine that uses independent channels for each herb, which has the characteristics of no mixing and no pollution in the channels.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0016] Furthermore, a baffle plate is added to the discharge end of the vibrating feed trough. The baffle plate is driven by a cylinder to open or close the discharge end of the vibrating feed trough.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] The dispensing unit of this application uses an independent channel to transport each herb. Each herb has its own dedicated channel, which prevents the herbs from mixing in the channel. This solves the problem that residual mixed materials in the channel can affect the next dispensing of Chinese herbal medicine and thus the efficacy of the medicine.

[0019] This application adopts a combination of vibration feeding and screw feeding. Vibration feeding is used to quickly feed the material from the weighing hopper B into the discharge hopper. When the material in the discharge hopper is close to the preset value, the vibration motor is turned off and the feeding screw is started to accurately feed the material into the discharge hopper. It has the characteristics of fast and accurate material discharge. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper surface", "lower surface", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "forward", "reverse", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece preparation unit machine includes a frame 12, a preparation and receiving hopper 13, multiple feeding devices, and multiple guiding channels. The multiple feeding devices are installed on the frame 12, and the lower ends of the multiple guiding channels are located above the preparation and receiving hopper. The upper ends of the multiple guiding channels are respectively located below the discharge ports of the multiple feeding devices. One feeding device corresponds to one guiding channel. The feeding device conveys the material to the guiding channel, and the guiding channel guides the material into the preparation and receiving hopper below.

[0031] Specifically, the multiple feeding devices are divided into two types: one is a sheet / granule feeding device 14; the other is a grass / root / stem feeding device 15, which is located below the sheet / granule feeding device 14. Since grass / root / stem materials are not as easily discharged as sheet / granule materials, the feeding path for these materials should be shortened as much as possible. Therefore, the grass / root / stem feeding device is located below, closer to the mixing and receiving hopper.

[0032] In this embodiment, there are a total of 4 sheet / granule feeding devices 14 and 2 grass / root / stem feeding devices 15.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the grass and root feeding device 15 includes a vibrating trough 16. The discharge end of the vibrating trough 16 is equipped with a hooking device, which includes a drive motor 17, a rotating shaft 18, and hooking rods 19. One end of the hooking rod 19 is mounted on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 18, and the output shaft of the drive motor 17 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 18. In this embodiment, two hooking rods 19 are provided, symmetrically distributed on the rotating shaft 18. A feeding hopper A20 is provided above the vibrating trough 16, and a stirring device 27 is provided inside the feeding hopper A20. A pushing screw 21 is provided inside the vibrating trough 16, driven by a motor A22. The motor A22 is electrically connected to a controller 9, which controls the rotational speed of the motor A22.

[0034] The material guiding channel includes a material guiding hopper 23 and a vertical channel 24. The material guiding hopper 23 is connected to the vertical channel 24. The material guiding hopper 23 is located below the weighing scale hopper A25. The grass and root weighing scale 25 is located below the discharge end of the vibrating trough 16 of the grass and root feeding device.

[0035] Because grass and root materials are not as smooth as granular materials when discharged, especially at the discharge port of the vibrating trough 16, they are prone to blockage. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of uneven discharge, this application adds a hooking device. The drive motor 17 of the hooking device drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 18 drives the hooking rod 19 to rotate. The hooking rod 19 hooks the raw material at the discharge port of the vibrating trough 16 to solve the problem of uneven discharge.

[0036] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the sheet / granule feeding device 14 includes a feeding hopper 1, a vibrating feeding trough 2, a feeding screw 3, a motor B4, a vibrating motor 5, a top cover 6, a frame 7, a supporting vertical plate 8, and a controller 9. The vibrating feeding trough 2 is fixed to the vibrating motor 5, which is mounted on the frame 7. The feeding hopper 1 is mounted on the top cover 6, which is mounted on the supporting vertical plate 8 and located above the vibrating feeding trough 2. The supporting vertical plate 8 is fixed to the frame 7. A gap is left between the top cover 6 and the vibrating feeding trough 2. The feeding screw 3 is mounted on the side walls at both ends of the bottom surface of the top cover 6 via bearings and is located inside the vibrating feeding trough 2. The controller 9 is used to control the rotational speed of the motor B4, which drives the feeding screw 3 to rotate. A spring 10 is provided between the vibrating motor 5 and the frame 7 to support the vibrating motor 5. The motor B4 is a servo motor.

[0037] The material guiding channel is a material guiding hopper structure 26, which is located below the weighing hopper B11. The weighing hopper B11 is located below the discharge end of the vibrating feed trough 2 of the sheet / granule feeding device. The weighing hopper B11 is mounted on a weighing sensor, and a baffle plate is provided at the discharge port of the weighing hopper B11. The driving device drives the baffle plate to move through a transmission mechanism to open and close the discharge port of the weighing hopper B11. The driving device is a motor or a cylinder. The weighing hopper B11, the weighing sensor, the baffle plate, and the driving device constitute the weighing discharge control unit. Since the weighing discharge control unit is prior art and not a technical improvement point of this application, it will not be described in detail with reference to the figures.

[0038] In addition, for the sheet / granule feeding device 14, when feeding granules, the feeding screw 3 may not be provided in the vibrating feeding trough 2. In this case, a baffle plate 28 needs to be added to the discharge end of the vibrating feeding trough 2. The baffle plate 28 is driven by a cylinder 29 to open or close the discharge end of the vibrating feeding trough 2. Figure 6 As shown.

[0039] Working Principle: This application's dispensing unit uses an independent channel for conveying each herb, ensuring that the herbs do not mix within the channel. This solves the problem of residual mixed materials affecting the next batch of herbal decoction pieces and thus impacting efficacy. This application employs a combination of vibration feeding and screw feeding. Vibration feeding rapidly delivers material from hopper 1 into the weighing hopper B11. When the material in weighing hopper B11 approaches a preset value, the vibration motor 5 is turned off, and the feeding screw 3 is activated for precise feeding into weighing hopper B11.
