Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a material conveying device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, belonging to the field of conveying equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces are TCM raw materials that have undergone processing according to TCM theory and methods, and can be directly used in TCM clinical practice. This concept indicates that there is no absolute boundary between raw TCM materials and TCM decoction pieces. TCM decoction pieces include some sliced TCM materials processed at the place of origin, whole medicinal materials, and processed or roasted decoction pieces. Existing TCM decoction piece conveying devices mainly use conveyor belts for transporting TCM decoction pieces, and then placing a collection box under one end of the conveyor belt to collect the TCM decoction pieces. At present, when changing the collection box, it is usually necessary to stop the conveyor belt from operating, thus reducing work efficiency.
[0003] Application CN201821402197.1 discloses a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction piece conveying and receiving device, including a conveyor belt. The lower surface of the conveyor belt has equidistantly distributed first support columns. A switch assembly is located on the right side of the conveyor belt, and the upper right surface of the conveyor belt has two symmetrically arranged limiting plates. The upper surface of the limiting plates has a blocking device. A base is located on the lower right side of the conveyor belt. The top surface of the base has a locking post, and the upper surface of the top plate has a storage box. The lower surface of the storage box has a locking groove, which movably engages with the locking post. This TCM decoction piece conveying and receiving device allows for the replacement of the storage box without stopping the conveyor belt, effectively improving work efficiency.
[0004] However, the device still has the following problems: the Chinese herbal medicine pieces fall directly from the higher conveyor belt into the storage box, making it impossible to accurately control the amount received. In addition, when the top plate is rotated to change the storage box, a lot of Chinese herbal medicine pieces will accumulate on the conveyor belt, and when a lot of pieces fall together, it will cause a large impact.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a new solution. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the amount of Chinese herbal medicine slices that are directly dropped into the storage box from the higher conveyor belt in the above-mentioned device cannot be accurately controlled, so as to provide a material conveying device for Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0014] Preferably, a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the hopper, and the second electric telescopic rod is mounted on the mounting frame.
[0015] Preferably, the switch plate has a conical platform in the middle.
[0016] Preferably, the surface of the conveyor belt of the conveyor belt conveyor is provided with an anti-slip layer.
[0017] Preferably, the top of the hopper is higher than the conveyor belt.
[0018] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: The material conveying device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces according to this utility model:
[0019] 1. With the electric telescopic rod and weighing device, when the storage box receives materials, the electric telescopic rod drives the weighing device to lift the storage box, which can weigh the Chinese herbal medicine pieces received inside the storage box, thereby accurately controlling the received amount. In addition, the electric telescopic rod can also bring the storage box closer to the feeding pipe, thereby reducing the impact of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces on the storage box and improving the accuracy of weighing.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of this utility model more clearly, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0029] like Figures 1-6As shown, the material conveying device for Chinese herbal medicine slices provided in this embodiment includes a conveyor belt 1. A turntable 2 is provided below one end of the conveyor belt 1. Multiple storage boxes 3 are movably installed on the top of the turntable 2. A feeding hopper 4 is fixedly installed above the storage boxes 3 at one end of the conveyor belt 1. A feeding pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper 4. An electric telescopic rod 6 is provided below the turntable 2. A weighing device 7 located directly below the feeding pipe 5 is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6. A switching mechanism is installed on the feeding pipe 5. With the electric telescopic rod 6 and the weighing device 7 in place, when the storage box 3 receives materials, the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the weighing device 7 to lift the storage box 3, enabling the weighing of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces received inside the storage box 3, thereby accurately controlling the received quantity. In addition, the electric telescopic rod 6 can also bring the storage box 3 closer to the discharge pipe 5, thereby reducing the impact of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces on the storage box 3 and improving the accuracy of weighing. By setting the discharge hopper 4 and the discharge pipe 5 at one end of the conveyor belt 1, the Chinese herbal medicine pieces can be gathered. Since the diameter of the discharge pipe 5 is constant, when the turntable 2 rotates to replace the storage box 3, it will not cause a sudden large amount of Chinese herbal medicine pieces to be discharged, thus ensuring the accuracy of weighing.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a support base 8 is provided below the turntable 2, and a motor 9 is mounted on the support base 8. The output end of the motor 9 is connected to the turntable 2. Multiple circumferentially distributed mounting holes 10 are evenly distributed on the top of the turntable 2. The storage box 3 is installed inside the mounting holes 10. A support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage box 3, and a handle 12 is connected to the top of the support plate 11. The support plate 11 can support the storage box 3, and the handle 12 facilitates the storage box 3's loading and unloading. It should be noted that there is a gap between the mounting holes 10 and the storage box 3, thereby reducing the contact between the storage box 3 and the mounting holes 10 during weighing and ensuring accuracy.
[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the switching mechanism includes a second electric telescopic rod 13 and a switch plate 14 connected to the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 13. The switch plate 14 is located at the bottom of the feeding pipe 5, and a mounting bracket 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding hopper 4. The second electric telescopic rod 13 is mounted on the mounting bracket 15, and a conical platform 16 is provided in the middle of the switch plate 14. In use, the second electric telescopic rod 13 drives the switch plate 14 to move downward, opening the feeding pipe 5 and discharging the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. The switch plate 14 can also reduce the impact of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces on the storage box 3, and the conical platform 16 prevents the Chinese herbal medicine from accumulating on the switch plate 14 and preventing it from flowing out.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the conveyor belt of the conveyor belt 1 is provided with an anti-slip layer, and the top of the hopper 4 is higher than the conveyor belt 1. The anti-slip layer ensures the conveying effect, and the top of the hopper 4 being higher than the conveyor belt 1 prevents leakage of Chinese herbal medicine pieces.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the working process of the material conveying device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] Step 1: When in use, the motor 9 drives the storage box 3 to rotate to directly below the feeding pipe 5. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the weighing device 7 to move upward to lift the storage box 3, and the feeding pipe 5 enters the storage box 3.
[0035] Step 2: The second electric telescopic rod 13 drives the switch plate 14 to move down, opening the feeding pipe 5 and discharging the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the storage box 3 to move down slowly to prevent the feeding pipe 5 from being blocked.
[0036] Step 3: When the required weight is reached, the second electric telescopic rod 13 drives the switch plate 14 to move upward, closing the feed tube 5. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the storage box 3 to fall onto the turntable 2. Then, the motor 9 drives the storage box 3 to rotate, so that the next storage box 3 rotates to be directly below the feed tube 5.
[0037] The above are merely further embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by this utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
