The traveling wheel 931 supports and drives the overall horizontal movement of the lifting and feeding mechanism 2. The guide handle 932 is used by the operator to push and pull to control the direction of movement. Specifically, the traveling wheel 931 with brakes moves flexibly and locks at a fixed point, while the guide handle 932 is easy to operate. This allows the lifting and feeding mechanism 2 to quickly switch workstations and be flexibly arranged, adapting to multi-equipment linkage or production line adjustments. The braking function ensures stability during operation, solving the problems of difficulty in fixing the moving mechanism and inconvenient operation, thus improving production flexibility.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the material collection mechanism 3 includes a material collection box 31 with casters 34, a material collection bucket 32, and a movable door 33.

Light impurities are carried by the airflow to the debris collection box 20, and the finished medicinal materials fall into the discharge port 7 through the buffer material chamber 15; the collection mechanism 3 receives the finished products through the guide slope 313 and the collection bucket 32, thus completing the air separation process.

[0041] The feeding component 8 precisely controls the speed and adjusts the angle to ensure that the material enters the air separator 4 evenly; the multi-level inclined planes and partitions in the air separator 4 work with the airflow to achieve multi-level separation of impurities; the lifting and moving component 9 flexibly adjusts the feeding position and height to adapt to different production layouts; the collecting mechanism 3 efficiently gathers and stores finished products.

[0042] This utility model features a rational overall design. The air separation mechanism 1 utilizes a guide plate 10 and spacer baffles 11 to create an orderly material flow channel, extending the air separation contact time. The first baffle 13 and multi-stage inclined surfaces, combined with the directional air curtain of the air supply component 5, deeply remove light impurities and fine debris, solving the problem of impurity residue in traditional air separation. The lifting feeding mechanism 2 uses a conveyor belt 81 and adjustable guide plate 84 to achieve quantitative, directional, and angle-adaptive feeding. The scissor lift frame 91 and horizontal fine-tuning component adapt to the needs of multiple heights and workstations, solving the problems of low efficiency and poor compatibility of manual feeding. The collection mechanism 3 uses a guide inclined surface 313 and a detachable collection bucket 32 ​​to achieve automatic collection and convenient cleaning of finished products, avoiding material residue and secondary pollution.
