Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, and in particular to a sorting device for processing Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] Sorting of Chinese medicinal herbs is a crucial step in the production of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), primarily used for screening, classifying, and quality control of the raw materials. Sorting removes impurities, inferior quality, or moldy herbs, ensuring the purity and efficacy of the raw materials. It also categorizes herbs by size, shape, or grade, facilitating subsequent processing, preparation, or formulation. Automated sorting technologies (such as visual recognition and mechanical sorting) can significantly improve efficiency, reduce human error, ensure the stability and consistency of TCM product quality, and ultimately enhance clinical efficacy and medication safety.

[0003] While existing technologies can achieve certain sorting and processing of Chinese medicinal materials, they have drawbacks: existing sorting devices lack stable sorting methods and the ability to adapt and fix collection troughs of various sizes. This makes it inconvenient to place collection troughs of different sizes when collecting materials, and the sorted materials cannot fall accurately into the collection troughs. In view of this, we propose a sorting device for processing Chinese medicinal materials for decoction pieces, which solves the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a sorting device for Chinese medicinal materials in the processing of Chinese medicinal decoction pieces.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model: A sorting device for processing Chinese medicinal materials, including a base, a mounting frame, an inclined plate and a flow guide frame. The mounting frame is fixed at the upper end of the base. A conveyor belt is provided across the mounting frame. Fixed frames are arranged in a linear array on both sides of the mounting frame. An inclined plate is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame. A flow guide frame is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the fixed frame. A limiting plate with an elastic mechanism is provided at the lower end of the inclined plate. A collection groove is provided at the upper end of the inclined plate.

[0006] When in use, this device starts by continuously driving the conveyor belt to transport the Chinese medicine slices one by one. An external vision sensor drives a corresponding servo motor to rotate, causing the guide plate to open outwards at a certain angle. This allows the material to move in conjunction with the centered conveyor belt. Then, the servo motor returns to its original position, the guide plate returns to its original position, and the material falls from the guide plate into the collection trough. The collection trough is placed on an inclined plate with an elastic limiting structure for easy material removal. This device enables efficient and rapid sorting of Chinese medicinal materials and facilitates the placement and removal of the collection trough, greatly improving the efficiency of Chinese medicinal material sorting and demonstrating high practicality.

[0007] Preferably, a bracket is fixed between the base and the mounting frame. The bracket enhances the connection stability between the base and the mounting frame, prevents vibration or displacement during equipment operation, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the sorting process.

[0008] Preferably, rollers are rotatably mounted at both ends of the mounting frame, and a conveyor belt is provided between the rollers. The design of the rollers and the conveyor belt enables smooth material transport, reduces jamming or accumulation, ensures the continuity of the sorting process, and the transport method is sequential, with different materials not parallel to each other.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting frame is provided with a reinforcing beam in the middle to prevent the conveyor belt from sinking. A rotating motor is fixed to one outer wall of the mounting frame. The output shaft of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of one side of the roller. The design of the roller and the conveyor belt enables the smooth transport of materials, reduces jamming or accumulation, and ensures the continuity of the sorting process.

[0010] Preferably, a controller is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the mounting frame. The controller works with the rear vision module to adjust the opening of the guide frame. The linkage between the controller and the vision module enables intelligent sorting, dynamically adjusting the angle of the guide frame to adapt to different materials being guided into the collection tank, reducing manual intervention and improving the degree of automation.

[0011] Preferably, a servo motor is fixed to the lower end of the fixed frame, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the lower end of the guide frame. The servo motor provides precise torque control to ensure that the guide frame responds quickly to visual commands and achieves the immediacy and accuracy of material diversion.

[0012] Preferably, a telescopic plate is inserted into the lower end of the inclined plate, the limiting plate is fixed to one end of the telescopic plate, and a spring is fixed between the limiting plate and the inclined plate. The elastic limiting mechanism composed of the telescopic plate and the spring can be adapted to collection tanks of different sizes, buffer impact force, and automatically reset.

[0013] Preferably, a symmetrically designed mounting groove is embedded on one side of the flow guide frame. A second roller is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove. A gear is fixed to the upper end of the second roller located in the middle. The gears mesh with each other. A second conveyor belt is provided on the surface of the second roller. A second rotating motor is fixed to the upper end of the flow guide frame. The output shaft of the second rotating motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the upper end of the second roller. The gear meshing transmission ensures that the second roller operates synchronously. The second conveyor belt realizes the centered conveying of materials and avoids skewing. The second rotating motor provides independent power and enhances the flexibility of the sorting path.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] I. This utility model achieves efficient sorting and collection of Chinese medicine tablets through the synergistic action of a conveyor belt, a guide frame, and an elastic limiting plate. Combined with an external visual sensing device and a servo motor, it ensures precise adjustment of the guide plate, allowing the material to accurately fall into the collection trough.

[0016] Second, based on the first beneficial effect, the elastic limiting structure facilitates the placement and removal of collection tanks of different sizes, significantly improving sorting efficiency and ease of operation. It is suitable for large-scale processing of Chinese medicinal materials. The reinforced structure and elastic components enhance the stability and adaptability of the equipment, while the automated adjustment function significantly reduces labor costs, making it highly practical.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
