Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of filling Chinese medicine pills, and specifically to an automatic filling plate device for Chinese medicine pills. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine pills embody the Chinese wisdom of "harmony between man and nature" in medicine. The *Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber* by Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty records pill formulations. Their slow-release, long-lasting effects and convenient administration make them a preferred choice for treating chronic diseases. However, in modern production lines, more than ten processes, including molding, pill making, drying, pill selection, and coating, are tightly linked, requiring frequent manual transfers. Each shift requires handling dozens of kilograms of pills, which can easily crush the surface and introduce hand sweat and fibers, causing secondary contamination. Furthermore, multiple batches of different specifications are mixed together, and counting, identifying missing or overlapping pills relies on visual inspection, resulting in an average missed detection rate of about 2%, leading to high costs for scrap and rework.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent No. CN215972217U, a traditional Chinese medicine pill packaging machine is disclosed, including a base plate, a belt conveyor, a quantitative feeding unit, and a packaging feeding unit. The base plate has a transverse belt conveyor. The quantitative feeding unit is installed on the right side of the rear end of the base plate. The packaging feeding unit includes a second support frame, a receiving hopper, a placement tube, and a moving tube. The second support frame is fixedly connected to the rear end of the base plate, and the receiving hopper is fixedly connected to the front top of the second support frame. The bottom end of the receiving hopper is fixedly connected to the top end of the placement tube. The outer side of the upper end of the moving tube is vertically slidably connected to the inner side of the lower end of the placement tube. This machine can quantitatively feed pills, improving the packaging qualification rate; it allows adjustment of the height of the feeding tube, improving work efficiency; and it allows adjustment of the angle of the discharging hopper, improving the accuracy of pill collection.

[0004] However, existing automatic pill-filling devices for traditional Chinese medicine pills suffer from low filling efficiency because the traditional filling process generally uses a crude method of "timed vibration," which cannot accurately dispense single pills for various types of pills. This necessitates manual replenishment or rework of pills. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problem that the existing automatic filling plate device for Chinese medicine pills has low filling efficiency because the traditional filling process generally adopts the crude method of "timed vibration", which cannot achieve precise single-pill delivery for various pills. It requires manual replenishment of pills or rework.

[0006] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is: An automatic medicine filling plate device for traditional Chinese medicine pills includes a mounting bracket, a feeding vessel fixed on the mounting bracket, a metering disc rotatably connected to the bottom of the feeding vessel, the rotating shaft of the metering disc rotating inside the feeding vessel, the metering disc being driven by a rotating motor, a feeding pipe fixed to the bottom of the feeding vessel, and a storage and retrieval hole on the metering disc, which passes through the feeding pipe of the feeding vessel when rotating. A dispensing plate is fixed between the mounting brackets, and a dispensing pipe is fixed on the dispensing plate, which passes through the dispensing pipe when rotating. The rotation of the metering disc completes the "medicine dispensing-receiving" linkage: the storage and retrieval hole first aligns with the feeding pipe of the feeding vessel to receive the medicine, and then rotates to align with the dispensing pipe of the dispensing plate to dispense the medicine, achieving precise single-pill filling; the device has no valve structure, avoiding pill breakage.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket is fixed on the support base, and a conveyor belt is rotatably connected between the support bases. The conveyor belt consists of a transmission roller, a belt, and a rotating motor.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a control panel is fixed on the outer side of the mounting bracket, an electric telescopic rod is fixed on the inner side of the mounting bracket, and a limit plate is fixed at the end of the electric telescopic rod. The electric telescopic rod drives the limit plate to extend laterally, which can quickly align medicine plates of different widths.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a feeding pipe is fixed on the feeding vessel, and the feeding pipe is funnel-shaped, which increases the feeding port area.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a stirring rod is arranged in a circular array on the rotating shaft inside the feeding vessel, and a sweeping plate is fixed on the bottom side of the rotating shaft inside the feeding vessel. The sweeping plate is in contact with the bottom of the feeding vessel, and the stirring rod continuously stirs inside the feeding vessel to prevent the pills from clumping due to stickiness or moisture. The bottom sweeping plate is in contact with the bottom of the vessel to push the pills toward the feeding pipe in real time.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an extension pipe is concentrically fitted on the lower side of the discharge pipe. The extension pipe slides on the discharge pipe and is fixed to the discharge pipe by bolts. The extension pipe can prevent the pill from falling out of the plate socket.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] Because this utility model is equipped with a metering plate, it can transport the Chinese medicine pills in the feeding vessel to the discharge pipe of the feeding tray. When the storage and retrieval hole of the metering plate is aligned with the discharge pipe, the pills are released from the discharge pipe, thereby completing the automatic medicine loading operation.

Example 1

[0021] exist Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic medicine filling plate device for traditional Chinese medicine pills, including a mounting bracket 1, a feeding vessel 2 fixed on the mounting bracket 1, a metering disc 3 rotatably connected to the bottom of the feeding vessel 2, the rotating shaft of the metering disc 3 rotating inside the feeding vessel 2, the metering disc 3 being driven by a rotating motor, a feeding pipe fixed to the bottom of the feeding vessel 2, and a storage hole 4 on the metering disc 3, which passes through the feeding pipe of the feeding vessel 2 when rotating. A dispensing plate 5 is fixed between the mounting brackets 1, and a dispensing pipe 6 is fixed on the dispensing plate 5, which passes through the dispensing pipe 6 when rotating. The rotating motor drives the metering disc 3 to rotate at a uniform speed. When the storage hole 4 is aligned with the feeding pipe at the bottom of the feeding vessel 2, the traditional Chinese medicine pills fall into the storage hole 4 by gravity to achieve medicine retrieval. The storage hole 4 continues to rotate until it is aligned with the dispensing pipe 6, and the pills again fall into the medicine plate below by gravity through the dispensing pipe 6, completing intermittent and continuous automatic medicine filling.

[0022] In one aspect of this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is fixed on the support base 7, and a conveyor belt 8 is rotatably connected between the support bases 7. The conveyor belt 8 consists of a transmission roller, a belt, and a rotating motor. A control panel 9 is fixed on the outer side of the mounting bracket 1, and an electric telescopic rod 10 is fixed on the inner side of the mounting bracket 1. A limit plate 11 is fixed at the end of the electric telescopic rod 10. The conveyor belt 8 steps the empty medicine plate to the medicine filling station. The electric telescopic rod 10 pushes out the limit plate 11 to perform side positioning of the medicine plate, ensuring that the discharge pipe 6 is concentric with the hole of the medicine plate. After the medicine is filled, the limit plate 11 is retracted, and the conveyor belt 8 sends out the full plate. The whole process is controlled by the control panel 9 to realize automatic plate loading and unloading and precise positioning.

[0023] In one aspect of this embodiment, a feeding pipe 12 is fixed on the feeding vessel 2. The feeding pipe 12 is funnel-shaped. A stirring rod 13 is arranged in a circular array on the rotating shaft inside the feeding vessel 2. A sweeping plate 14 is fixed to the bottom side of the rotating shaft inside the feeding vessel 2. The sweeping plate 14 is in contact with the bottom of the feeding vessel 2. An extension pipe 15 is concentrically fitted on the lower side of the discharge pipe 6. The extension pipe 15 slides on the discharge pipe 6 and is fixed to the discharge pipe 6 by bolts. The funnel-shaped feeding pipe 12 provides centralized feeding. The stirring rod 13 rotates with the rotating shaft to prevent pill bridging. The sweeping plate 14 continuously scrapes the bottom surface of the feeding vessel 2, pushing the pills toward the feeding pipe to avoid residue. The extension pipe 15 slides up and down according to the height of the medicine plate and is locked with bolts so that the lower end of the pipe is close to the surface of the medicine plate, reducing splashing and dust, and ensuring clean drug loading.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the control panel 9 is started, the conveyor belt 8 will step-by-step deliver the empty medicine plate to the medicine loading station. The electric telescopic rod 10 will push out the limiting plate 11 to complete the side positioning. The funnel-shaped feeding pipe 12 will supply material centrally. The stirring rod 13 will continuously stir to prevent pill bridging. The sweeping plate 14 will push the pills towards the feeding pipe. The rotating motor will drive the quantitative plate 3 to rotate. When the storage hole 4 is aligned with the feeding pipe, the pills will fall into the storage hole 4 by gravity to achieve medicine loading. When the rotation continues until it is aligned with the discharge pipe 6, the pills will fall into the medicine plate below through the extension pipe 15 to complete the intermittent and continuous automatic medicine loading. The extension pipe 15 can slide up and down according to the height of the medicine plate and be bolted to reduce the splashing of falling material. After the medicine loading is completed, the limiting plate 11 will retract and the conveyor belt 8 will send out the full plate, realizing the integrated operation of automatic plate loading and unloading, precise positioning, quantitative medicine loading and clean material discharge.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
