Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging equipment, and in particular relates to a packaging equipment for traditional Chinese medicine powder. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine powder is a finely powdered preparation made from traditional Chinese medicinal materials through strict selection, purification, processing, and drying, followed by crushing and grinding techniques. It retains the main active ingredients and medicinal properties of the original herbs and is one of the important dosage forms in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine powder is convenient to take, absorbs quickly, is easy to carry, and allows for precise dosage. It can be taken directly or applied externally, and can also be used as a raw material to make capsules and tablets, thus gaining wide application.

[0003] After crushing and grinding, workers need to package the Chinese herbal powder into multiple bags for subsequent transportation and sales. However, the existing packaging method for Chinese herbal powder is rather primitive. Workers can only use a funnel to gather the powder and then manually fill it into the bags. This results in low efficiency and makes it difficult to control the filling volume. Furthermore, due to the small particle size of the Chinese herbal powder, it easily clogs during filling. This forces workers to pause the packaging process and clear the funnel, further impacting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a Chinese medicine powder dispensing device to improve the dispensing efficiency and ease of operation of Chinese medicine powder.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A traditional Chinese medicine powder dispensing device includes: a collecting funnel, a control component, and a connecting pipe; the bottom of the collecting funnel is provided with a discharge pipe, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe is provided with a detachable discharge connector; the control component includes: a guide pipe, a receiving pipe, a dispensing sleeve, and an operating shaft, wherein the top end of the guide pipe is detachably connected to the bottom end of the discharge pipe, and the bottom end of the guide pipe is detachably connected to the top end of the connecting pipe; the receiving pipe is connected to the guide pipe, and the axis of the receiving pipe is perpendicular to the axis of the guide pipe; the operating shaft is rotatably disposed inside the receiving pipe, and the dispensing sleeve is slidably sleeved on the operating shaft, and the dispensing sleeve is located inside the guide pipe; two dispensing plates are also provided on the outer wall of the dispensing sleeve, the two dispensing plates are arranged in a mirror image on both sides of the axis of the dispensing sleeve, and the end of the dispensing plate away from the dispensing sleeve is provided with an arc-shaped edge with the arc center facing the axis of the dispensing sleeve, and the diameter of the arc-shaped edge is equal to the inner diameter of the guide pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the material distribution sleeve is provided with a plurality of material release needles, which are located between two material release plates. The plurality of material release needles are arranged along the axial direction of the material distribution sleeve, and each material release needle is perpendicular to the material distribution sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the operating shaft is provided with an operating handle, and the other end of the operating shaft is provided with a detachable limiting plate, and the outer diameter of the limiting plate is larger than the inner diameter of the receiving tube; a spring is also provided on the operating shaft, one end of the spring abuts against the limiting plate, and the other end abuts against the end face of the receiving tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the dispensing sleeve is provided with a guide strip, and the operating shaft is provided with a guide groove for accommodating the guide strip, and the length direction of the guide groove is parallel to the axial direction of the operating shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, a first annular groove is provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe, a detachable elastic ring is provided inside the first annular groove, and a second annular groove is provided on the outer wall of the discharge joint for accommodating the elastic ring.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the traditional Chinese medicine powder dispensing equipment described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] This utility model discloses a traditional Chinese medicine powder dispensing device. Its control component includes a rotatable operating shaft, a dispensing sleeve mounted on the operating shaft, and a feeding plate mounted on the dispensing sleeve. In operation, the operator gathers the traditional Chinese medicine powder through a collection funnel, allowing it to enter the control component. Then, rotating the operating shaft causes the feeding plate on the dispensing sleeve to move the powder, completing the dispensing process. Finally, the powder is guided into a packaging bag through a connecting pipe. Because the diameter of the arc-shaped edge on the feeding plate is equal to the inner diameter of the guide pipe, when the plane of the feeding plate is perpendicular to the axis of the guide pipe, the feeding plate and the dispensing sleeve can seal the guide pipe, preventing further powder fall and improving the convenience of dispensing. Simultaneously, the operator can control the amount of powder dispensed by controlling the number of rotations of the operating shaft, facilitating quantitative dispensing and improving dispensing efficiency. In addition, since the material feeding plate disturbs the Chinese medicine powder in the guide tube during the rotation of the operating shaft, it can also prevent the Chinese medicine powder from accumulating and clogging, thus avoiding frequent cleaning work during the dispensing process.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] A traditional Chinese medicine powder dispensing equipment, the structure of which can be made of Figures 1-5 The following is an illustration. In this embodiment, the traditional Chinese medicine powder dispensing equipment includes: a collecting funnel 1, a control component, and a connecting pipe 6. The bottom of the collecting funnel 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 11, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe 6 is provided with a detachable discharge connector 7. In use, the collecting funnel 1 is used to collect the traditional Chinese medicine powder to be dispensed, the connecting pipe 6 is used to guide the traditional Chinese medicine powder into the packaging bag, and the control component is used to control the feeding process of the traditional Chinese medicine powder in this equipment and prevent the traditional Chinese medicine powder from clogging.

[0029] Specifically, the control assembly includes: a guide pipe 2, a receiving pipe 3, a dispensing sleeve 4, and an operating shaft 5. The top end of the guide pipe 2 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the discharge pipe 11 via a flange connection, and the bottom end of the guide pipe 2 is detachably connected to the top end of the connecting pipe 6 via a flange connection, ensuring that the herbal powder passes smoothly through the control assembly. The receiving pipe 3 is connected to the guide pipe 2, and the axis of the receiving pipe 3 is perpendicular to the axis of the guide pipe 2. The operating shaft 5 is rotatably mounted inside the receiving pipe 3, and the dispensing sleeve 4 is slidably fitted onto the operating shaft 5, with the dispensing sleeve 4 located inside the guide pipe 2. In addition, the outer wall of the distributing sleeve 4 is provided with two distributing plates 41 for moving the Chinese medicine powder to make the Chinese medicine powder feed. The two distributing plates 41 are arranged in a mirror image on both sides of the axis of the distributing sleeve 4. At the end of the distributing plate 41 away from the distributing sleeve 4, there is an arc-shaped edge with the arc center facing the axis of the distributing sleeve 4, and the diameter of the arc-shaped edge is equal to the inner diameter of the guide tube 2.

[0030] Since the diameter of the arc-shaped edge of the feeding plate 41 is equal to the inner diameter of the guide tube 2, when the plane of the feeding plate 41 is perpendicular to the axis of the guide tube 2, the distributing sleeve 4 and the feeding plate 41 will block the guide tube 2, preventing the Chinese medicine powder from entering the connecting tube 6, thus facilitating the replacement of packaging bags. After the packaging bag is successfully placed on the outside of the discharge connector 6, the operator can rotate the operating shaft 5. At this time, the operating shaft 5 will drive the distributing sleeve 4 to rotate inside the guide tube 2, so that the two feeding plates 41 alternately agitate the Chinese medicine powder. During this process, the Chinese medicine powder inside the guide tube 2 will fall into the connecting tube 6 and eventually enter the packaging bag along the connecting tube 6. The volume of Chinese medicine powder entering the connecting tube 6 is approximately equal for each rotation of the operating shaft 5, which improves the dispensing efficiency of the Chinese medicine powder and facilitates the quantitative control of the Chinese medicine powder by the operator during the dispensing process. In addition, since the material feeding plate 41 disturbs the Chinese medicine powder in the guide tube 2 during the rotation of the operating shaft 5, it can also prevent the Chinese medicine powder from accumulating and clogging, thereby avoiding the need for staff to frequently clean during the packaging process and further improving the packaging efficiency of the Chinese medicine powder.

[0031] Optionally, to prevent bridging of the Chinese herbal powder in the feed tube 2 during the rotation of the operating shaft 5, multiple loosening needles 42 can be provided on the outer wall of the distributing sleeve 4. The loosening needles 42 should be located between the two dispensing plates 41, with multiple loosening needles 42 arranged along the axial direction of the distributing sleeve 4, and each loosening needle 42 perpendicular to the distributing sleeve 4. During the rotation of the distributing sleeve 4 following the operating shaft 5, the loosening needles 42 can disperse the bridging Chinese herbal powder, thereby preventing the powder from accumulating inside the feed tube 2 and ensuring the unobstructed flow of the feed tube 2.

[0032] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the operating shaft 5 is provided with an operating handle 51, and the other end of the operating shaft 5 is provided with a detachable limiting plate 52. The outer diameter of the limiting plate is larger than the inner diameter of the receiving tube 3, and a spring 53 may also be provided on the operating shaft 5. During assembly, the operator should first remove the limiting plate 52, then insert the distributing sleeve 4 into the guide tube 2, ensuring that the distributing sleeve 4 is aligned with the receiving tube 3. Next, insert the operating shaft 5 away from the operating handle 51 into the receiving tube 3, and make the operating shaft 5 extend outward along the other end of the receiving tube 3 after passing through the distributing sleeve 4. Finally, the spring 53 is sleeved on the operating shaft 5, and the limiting plate 52 and the operating shaft 5 are assembled so that one end of the spring 53 abuts against the limiting plate 52, and the other end abuts against the end face of the receiving tube 3.

[0033] During use, the operator can input torque to the operating shaft 5 via the crank handle 51, thereby driving the operating shaft 5 to rotate. After the Chinese medicine powder accumulates inside the guide pipe 2 below the distributing sleeve 4, the operator can also pull the operating handle 51 to cause relative sliding between the operating shaft 5 and the distributing sleeve 4, compressing the spring 53. Then, the operator releases the operating handle 51, and the elastic force generated by the compression of the spring 53 drives the operating handle 51 to strike the end of the receiving pipe 3, thereby causing the accumulated Chinese medicine powder to fall into the connecting pipe 6.

[0034] Optionally, to ensure relative sliding between the operating shaft 5 and the distributing sleeve 4, and to enable the distributing sleeve 4 to rotate with the operating shaft 5 during use, a guide strip 43 may be provided on the inner wall of the distributing sleeve 4. A guide groove 54 for accommodating the guide strip 43 should be provided on the operating shaft 5, and the length direction of the guide groove 54 is parallel to the axial direction of the operating shaft 5. Thus, the torque is transmitted between the operating shaft 5 and the distributing sleeve 4 by means of the cooperation of the guide strip 43 and the guide groove 54, and the relative sliding between the operating shaft 5 and the distributing sleeve 4 is guided.

[0035] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, to facilitate the connection between the device and the packaging bag, a first annular groove 61 may be provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 6, and a detachable elastic ring 8 (the elastic ring 8 may be made of rubber material) may be provided inside the first annular groove 61. Correspondingly, a second annular groove 71 for accommodating the elastic ring 8 may also be provided on the outer wall of the discharge connector 7. In use, the operator can insert the discharge connector 7 into the opening of the packaging bag, and then move the elastic ring 8 to the second annular groove 71, thereby using the elastic ring 8 to bind and constrain the opening of the packaging bag and the discharge connector 7.

[0036] Optionally, to facilitate the movement of the elastic ring 8 into the second ring groove 71, the top of the discharge connector 7 may be provided with a first guide outer cone surface 72, so as to open the elastic ring 8 through the first guide outer cone surface 72. In addition, the bottom of the discharge connector 7 may be provided with a second guide outer cone surface 73, so as to facilitate the operator to insert the discharge connector 7 into the opening of the packaging bag.

[0037] It should be noted that since the discharge connector 7 and the connecting pipe 6 are assembled in a detachable manner, in actual application, the staff can replace the discharge connector 7 according to the size of the opening on the packaging bag so that the outer diameter of the discharge connector 7 installed on the connecting pipe 6 matches the inner diameter of the opening on the packaging bag.

[0038] As another optional implementation of this embodiment, to prevent large-particle materials in the Chinese medicine powder from entering the device, the collecting funnel 1 can also be equipped with a detachable filter screen 9, thereby intercepting large-particle materials with the help of the filter screen 9. Accordingly, the filter screen 9 in this embodiment should be a conical screen with its tip facing the control component to avoid the accumulation and blockage of Chinese medicine powder above the filter screen 9.

[0039] The effects of the above solution are explained below:

[0040] This embodiment provides a traditional Chinese medicine powder dispensing device. By rotating the operating shaft, a feeding plate agitates and dispenses the traditional Chinese medicine powder, thereby improving dispensing efficiency and ease of operation, and facilitating quantitative control of the powder during the dispensing process. Secondly, the device uses the feeding plate and loosening plate to agitate and disperse the powder, preventing accumulation and blockage. Furthermore, the device uses elastic rings to secure the packaging bag and discharge connector, and the filter screen 9 can intercept large-particle materials, thus offering enhanced usability.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
