Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] This product is used in cattle and sheep farming by adding a formula to promote the growth and health of cattle and sheep. The formula includes Rehmannia glutinosa, Scutellaria baicalensis, Asparagus cochinchinensis, Ophiopogon japonicus, Lycium barbarum, Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa, Albizia julibrissin, fossilized bone, amber, Polygonum multiflorum, Poria cocos, Angelica sinensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Platycodon grandiflorus, cinnabar, Polygonum multiflorum, Magnolia officinalis, Crataegus pinnatifida, and medicated leaven. It is used to address problems such as gastrointestinal dysfunction, loss of appetite or decreased appetite, and indigestion caused by mental excitement and stress, thereby promoting the growth of cattle and sheep.
[0027] The above-mentioned medicinal materials are stored in powder form. During the process of adding the medicinal materials, each medicinal material is manually grasped. In the process of manually grasping different medicinal materials, cross-contamination of the medicinal materials can easily occur.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a weighing device for medicinal materials used in cattle and sheep breeding, including a frame 1. The upper and lower layers of the frame 1 are respectively equipped with a storage box 2 and a platform 3. There are at least two storage boxes 2. A sliding component 4 is installed on the platform 3. A weighing component 5 located below the storage box 2 is installed on the sliding component 4.
[0029] The support frame 1 is supported by welding metal rods, and the size of the support frame 1 is set according to the number of storage boxes 2 installed.
[0030] When placing the medicinal materials, the operators put the various medicinal materials required for this prescription, such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Scutellaria baicalensis, hawthorn, and medicated leaven, into different storage boxes 2. Each storage box contains only one type of medicinal material, thus physically isolating them from the source.
[0031] When medicinal materials need to be retrieved, the weighing component 5 is moved to the bottom of the corresponding storage box 2 via the sliding component 4. The material placed in the storage box 2 falls into the weighing component 5. There is no need to manually grab the materials during the material retrieval process, thus solving the problem of cross-contamination of medicinal materials.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the sliding component 4 includes a slide rail 401 fixed on the table 3, a slider 402 is mounted on the slide rail 401, and limit blocks are installed at both ends of the slide rail 401. The slider 402 is connected to the weighing component 5.
[0033] The sliding assembly 4 is used to drive the weighing assembly 5 to move precisely in the horizontal direction to achieve docking with different storage boxes 2. Specifically, the sliding assembly 4 includes a slide rail 401 fixedly installed on the platform 3. A slider 402 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 401. Limiting blocks 403 are fixedly installed at both ends of the slide rail 401 along its length to mechanically limit the sliding stroke of the slider 402, prevent it from dislodging from the slide rail, and ensure safe operation.
[0034] Meanwhile, the driving device of slider 402 moves along slide rail 401 by manual pushing;
[0035] Alternatively, a lead screw and nut structure can be installed inside the sliding component 4 to achieve electrically controlled movement.
[0036] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the weighing assembly 5 includes a weighing body 501 fixed on the slider 402. Two upright plates 502 are fixed on the load-bearing surface of the weighing body 501, and the two upright plates 502 support the box 503 on which the object to be weighed is placed.
[0037] The weighing body 501 selects a weighing sensor with a tare function.
[0038] The box 503 is used to receive and weigh the medicinal materials falling from the storage box 2. As an independent component, the box 503 can be easily removed from the upright plate 502. After completing a batch of weighing, the operator only needs to remove this box for cleaning, making maintenance simple and quick. If the box is damaged, only the box needs to be replaced without touching the precision weighing body, reducing maintenance costs.
[0039] All medicinal materials are placed into the same box 503 for cumulative weighing.
[0040] The top of the upright plate 502 is provided with a slot, and the opposite sides of the box body 503 are provided with columns 5031 placed in the slots. The inner and outer sides of the box body 503 are provided with outlets 5032.
[0041] The box body 503 can be designed to rotate around the axis of the column 5031 within the bayonet 5021. When unloading is required, the box body 503 is manually pushed to rotate and tilt around the axis, at which point the medicinal material can be smoothly poured out from the outlet 5032, thus achieving unloading.
[0042] During manual feeding, when the weight reaches about 95% of the rated value, the discharge gate closes, completing the coarse feeding. After a single herb is removed, the symmetrical body 501 performs a peeling operation to achieve zeroing of the value, facilitating the next weighing.
[0043] The storage box 2 includes a bin 201 with an opening at the top. The lower end of the bin 201 is connected to a discharge port 202. A valve structure is installed inside the discharge port 202, and the opening and closing of the discharge port 202 is controlled by the valve structure.
[0044] The valve body structure includes a valve body 204 placed inside the discharge port 202, a shaft 205 passing through the valve body 204 with its end mounted on the inner wall of the discharge port 202, and an extension arm 209 connected to the extended end of the shaft 205.
[0045] The outer side of the discharge port 202 is provided with a boss 2021 sleeved on the outside of the shaft 205. An arc groove 2022 is provided on the end face of the boss 2021. A stop block 206 is installed on the shaft 205 and placed in the arc groove 2022. One end of the spring 207 placed in the arc groove 2022 contacts the stop block 206. An end cap 208 is sleeved on the outside of the boss 2021.
[0046] When the discharge port needs to be opened, manually pull the extension arm 209 to drive the shaft 205 to rotate against the elastic force of the spring 207, thereby driving the valve body 204 to rotate, opening the channel, and allowing the medicinal materials to fall. When the driving force is removed, the elastic force of the spring 207 pushes the stop block 206 to reset, which in turn drives the shaft 205 and the valve body 204 to move in opposite directions, automatically closing the discharge port.
[0047] The surface of the storage chamber 201 is provided with a window 203 for observing the amount of medicinal materials inside the storage chamber 201.
[0048] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
