Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical weighing technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism of a pharmaceutical weighing device. Background Technology

[0002] Pharmaceutical weighing devices are core equipment in the pharmaceutical industry. The performance of their dispensing mechanisms directly affects the accuracy and efficiency of drug dispensing. In the process of drug production, powdered and granular drugs need to be dispensed with high precision to meet strict pharmacopoeia standards. As a key execution unit of the weighing device, the dispensing mechanism undertakes the core function of controlling drug flow and ensuring accurate measurement. Its technical optimization is of great significance to improving the level of drug quality control.

[0003] Currently, the industry generally adopts gravity discharge or mechanical gate structure. Gravity discharge relies on the weight of the medicine to fall through the funnel-shaped channel, and the flow rate is controlled by manually adjusting the valve opening. Mechanical gate uses a rotating baffle or slider structure, and the opening and closing are achieved by the motor driving the baffle displacement. Some high-end equipment combines weighing sensor feedback and uses a stepper motor to fine-tune the gate opening, but the core feeding unit still relies on the principle of physical blocking to achieve flow interception.

[0004] However, the above technologies have the drawback of insufficient precision in drug flow control. Gravity feeding is easily affected by the particle size and humidity of the drug, resulting in flow rate fluctuations. When the mechanical gate is closed, it is easy for drug particles to get stuck, causing poor sealing, resulting in micro-leakage or air infiltration. Especially for hygroscopic drugs, the gap when the traditional gate is closed will introduce moisture, causing the drug to become damp and clump, which directly affects the stability of the drug's active ingredients. This problem is particularly prominent in high-precision weighing scenarios and has become a key bottleneck restricting drug quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a drug weighing device, which aims to improve the problem of insufficient accuracy in drug flow control.

A spring assists in the reset of the feeding cover, ensuring a tight seal when closed and preventing medicine leakage or moisture absorption. This design simplifies the feeding process, improves weighing accuracy and operational reliability, and is suitable for high-precision medicine dispensing environments.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the medicine delivery box and the feed hopper work together.

The material feeding assembly includes a hydraulic rod 9, a feeding pipe 8, and a feeding cover 12. The feeding pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 3. The outer wall of the feeding cover 12 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the feeding pipe 8, forming an adjustable discharge port. A connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding cover 12, and a connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 11. The feeding cover 12 is located inside the outer casing 3 to prevent external contamination. The output end of the feeding cover 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting block 10. A medicine delivery box 7 is fixedly connected inside the outer casing 3 to temporarily store and buffer the medicine. The outlet of the medicine delivery box 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding pipe 8. The upper surface of the outer casing 3... A fixed feed hopper 4 facilitates rapid feeding. The outlet of the feed hopper 4 is located inside the medicine delivery box 7. A spring 13 is installed on the outer wall of the discharge cover 12. One end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge pipe 8, which helps the cover to quickly reset and seal. A connecting seat 14 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the medicine delivery box 7. A spring 2 15 is installed inside the outer shell 3 to absorb vibrations during equipment operation. One end of the spring 2 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting seat 14, and the other end of the spring 2 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. A discharge hopper 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 1 to guide the medicine to fall smoothly. The discharge pipe 8 is located below the discharge hopper 16. Inside, a material distribution pipe 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base 1. The lower surface of the material distribution pipe 17 has two outlets, corresponding to the qualified product and waste product channels respectively. The opening below the hopper 16 is located above the material distribution pipe 17. A hinge seat 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 1.

The spring 13 provides real-time reset assistance force to ensure that the opening and closing process of the discharge cover 12 is smooth. The medicine falls through the discharge pipe 8 with precise control and is discharged through the discharge pipe. After being buffered and guided, the hopper 16 enters the distribution pipe 17. The electric telescopic rod 21 is rotatably connected through the hinge seat 20. According to the command, the distribution pipe 17 is pushed to slide horizontally, so that the two outlets are respectively aligned with the weighing station or the waste box 18. Qualified medicines enter the weighing process, while defective products fall into the pull-out waste box 18. Throughout the process, the upper end of the spring 15 is fixed to the connecting seat 14, and the lower end is fixed to the base 1, continuously absorbing the vibration of the medicine delivery box 7. The hydraulic cylinder 19 provides power to the hydraulic rod 9, and the base 1 is tightly fixed to the outer shell 3 through the clamp 5 and the buckle 6. The connecting plate 2 ensures the stability of the overall structure, and the connecting seat 14 allows the device to be installed on other related devices.
