Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces, and in particular to a sampling device for Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] After processing and slicing raw Chinese medicinal herbs, processing plants need to bag and store them for transport and sale to large pharmacies, hospitals, and traditional Chinese medicine processing enterprises. Upon receiving these herbs, these enterprises need to test them to determine their moisture content and whether mold has developed inside. Sampling is generally not done by opening the bag, as this is not only cumbersome but also makes resealing and storage difficult. Therefore, a sampling rod is used for sampling. This method leaves a hole in the bag, and for some larger-diameter herbs, the hole will be even larger. Based on these technical issues, we designed a sampling device for processing Chinese medicinal herbs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to practical needs, and provide a sampling device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a sealing component and a sampling component; the sealing component is a cylindrical through-tube structure, one end of the sealing component is provided with a limiting ring on the outer ring, and the other end of the sealing component is a piercing end for piercing the Chinese herbal medicine slice packaging bag and limiting it inside the packaging bag, the tube opening of the sealing component with the limiting ring is provided with external threads, and the tube opening with external threads is sealed by screwing in the sealing cap; the sampling component is a rod-shaped structure, the diameter of the sampling component matches the through-cavity of the sealing component, the end of the sampling component is a conical piercing end, a sampling cavity is provided on one side below the piercing end, and a sampling port is provided on the upper side of the sampling cavity near the piercing end;

[0004] The sealing component has a first through-hole with a center point on one side of its tube opening. When the sampling component is inserted into the sealing component and its piercing end just passes through the sealing component, a second through-hole is provided on the side of the sampling component at a position corresponding to the first through-hole of the sealing component. Specifically, by inserting pins to fix the first and second through-holes, the sealing component and the sampling component are fixed to each other, thereby facilitating the piercing of the packaging bag.

[0005] The sealing component has four limiting grooves arranged in a circular array on its side. The groove wall on the side near the insertion end is horizontal, while the side away from the insertion end is inclined. A limiting block is provided on the side of the limiting groove near the insertion end. One end of the limiting block can be rotatably limited within the limiting groove by rotating a pin. When the sealing component is inserted, the limiting block is subjected to downward force. Since there is no limiting point below, the limiting block tilts downward to facilitate insertion. When fully inserted, as the sealing component is pulled downward, the limiting block rotates to a horizontal position and is then limited by the groove wall on the side near the insertion end, thus preventing it from falling out and achieving the limiting function.

[0006] The sampling piece is provided with a handle on the side away from the puncture end.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0008] This device combines the original sampling component with a sealing component that can be used simultaneously. After the material is taken out, the packaging bag can be sealed. After the raw material in the packaging bag is used up, it can be recycled without causing further mold growth and is also convenient for sampling. Attached Figure Description

[0009] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the operation of this utility model.

[0011] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the present invention;

[0012] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the operation of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0014] See Figure 1-2 .

[0015] This utility model discloses a sampling device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, including a sealing component 1 and a sampling component 2. The sealing component has a cylindrical through-tube structure. One end of the sealing component is provided with a limiting ring 3, and the other end of the sealing component is a piercing end for piercing the packaging bag of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces and limiting them inside the packaging bag. The tube opening 4 of the sealing component with the limiting ring is provided with external threads, and the tube opening with external threads is sealed by externally screwing in a sealing cap 5. The sampling component has a rod-shaped structure, and the diameter of the sampling component matches the through-cavity of the sealing component. The end of the sampling component is a conical piercing end 6. A sampling cavity 7 is provided on one side below the piercing end, and a sampling port 8 is provided on the upper side of the sampling cavity near the piercing end.

[0016] The sealing component has a first through-hole 9 with a center point on one side of its tube opening; when the sampling component is inserted into the sealing component and the piercing end just passes through the sealing component, a second through-hole 10 is provided on the side of the sampling component at a position corresponding to the first through-hole of the sealing component. Specifically, by inserting pins to fix the first and second through-holes, the sealing component and the sampling component are fixed to each other, thereby facilitating the piercing of the packaging bag.

[0017] The sealing component has four limiting grooves 11 arranged in a circular array on its side. The groove wall of the limiting groove is horizontal on the side near the insertion end and inclined on the side away from the insertion end. A limiting block 12 is provided on the side of the limiting groove near the insertion end. One end of the limiting block can be rotatably limited within the limiting groove by rotating a pin 13. When the sealing component is inserted, the limiting block is subjected to downward force. Since there is no limiting point below, the limiting block tilts downward to facilitate insertion. When fully inserted, as the sealing component is pulled downward, the limiting block rotates to a horizontal position and is then limited by the groove wall on the side near the insertion end, thus preventing it from falling out and achieving the limiting function.

[0018] The sampling piece is provided with a handle 14 on the side away from the puncture end.

[0019] For detailed usage, please refer to... Figure 3

[0020] First, insert the sampling piece 2 into the sealing piece 1, so that the punctured end 6 protrudes. At the same time, align the first and second through holes and insert the pin, so that the sampling piece 2 is inserted into the sealing piece 1 and fixed together. Insert the punctured end 6 into the bottom of the packaging bag. Under the action of the material and the bag, the limiting block 12 is in a downward contraction state, but the lower part is not completely inserted into the limiting groove 11. When it is inserted into the bottom of the limiting ring 3 and fits against the bottom of the packaging bag, remove the pin, and the sampling piece 2 continues to be inserted for sampling. After the sampling is completed, pull it out and close the cover. Under the action of the material and the weight, the limiting ring 3 moves downward a little distance and opens outward to limit the movement.

[0021] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
