Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine weighing technology, specifically a mobile weighing device. Background Technology
[0002] When treating patients, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners need to prescribe different prescriptions for different patients. Then, the operators will weigh and dispense the medicines according to the prescriptions. The accuracy of weighing and dispensing Chinese medicines is directly related to the patient's health. Therefore, the accuracy of weighing Chinese medicines is crucial for TCM diagnosis and treatment.
[0003] However, existing medicine weighing equipment spills a lot of Chinese medicine on the worktable during the weighing process, which not only wastes the medicine but also makes cleaning up afterward troublesome.
[0004] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, Chinese Patent No. CN215622838U discloses an automatic weighing device for bulk Chinese medicinal herbs that prevents them from falling off. The device includes a workbench with a rotating disc mounted on one outer wall of its top side. A first servo motor is connected to the bottom of the rotating disc. A first electric telescopic rod is mounted on the top of the rotating disc, and a support plate is mounted on the top of the first electric telescopic rod. Symmetrically distributed anti-slip pads are adhered to the outer walls of two arc-shaped clamping rods on opposite sides, and the outer walls of the anti-slip pads are provided with anti-slip threads. A discharge pipe is connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the storage shell, and an electric discharge device is installed on the inner wall of the top of the discharge pipe. The valve is electrically controlled and connected to a controller via a signal line. The outer wall size of the discharge pipe is adapted to the inner wall size of the weighing cup, and the discharge pipe and the weighing cup form an insertion fit. By using a second electric telescopic rod to drive the storage shell to move up and down, the distance between the discharge pipe and the weighing cup can be adjusted, thus inserting the discharge pipe into the weighing cup to prevent the Chinese medicine from falling out. Moreover, the stirring motor continuously stirs the Chinese medicine, allowing it to fall smoothly and preventing accumulation. After weighing, the weighing cup can be removed by the cooperation of the arc-shaped clamp rod and the second servo motor, realizing automated weighing.
[0005] The aforementioned device uses a stirring motor to stir the Chinese medicine during use, preventing the herbs from piling up and affecting the weighing efficiency. However, the device is a fixed structure, which is not convenient for moving and weighing, requiring personnel to repeatedly move the herbs, increasing their labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a mobile medicine weighing device, including a workbench 1, a medicine hopper 2 provided on the inner side of the workbench 1, a push plate 3 provided on the bottom surface of the workbench 1, a control console 4 provided on the top of the push plate 3, and casters 5 provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the push plate 3; a discharge port 7 provided on the bottom surface of the medicine hopper 2, and a rapid weighing mechanism provided on the inner side of the medicine hopper 2.
[0028] The weighing mechanism enables rapid and accurate weighing of Chinese medicine. During use, the herbs to be weighed are placed in the medicine hopper 2. The push plate 3 and casters 5 work together to move the equipment easily. Operators can move the equipment to a suitable position for weighing as needed, which greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of personnel.
[0029] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 2 - Figure 5 The spiral conveyor 12 was also disclosed, and its specific structure is as follows: a metering device 6 is provided on the outer surface of the medicine hopper 2, the metering device 6 is provided on the inner side of the workbench 1, a housing 8 is provided on the outer surface of the discharge port 7, a discharge port 9 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 8, a servo motor 10 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 8, an output shaft 11 is provided at the output end of the servo motor 10, and a spiral conveyor 12 is provided on the outer surface of the output shaft 11.
[0030] After weighing, the Chinese medicine falls into the outer shell 8 through the discharge port 7, and is then... Figure 4 It can be seen that the operator can start the servo motor 10 through the control console 4. The output shaft 11 of the servo motor 10 drives the screw conveyor 12 to rotate. The screw conveyor 12 conveys the Chinese medicine from the discharge port 7 to the discharge port 9, realizing the automatic discharge of the Chinese medicine. This avoids the waste and cleaning trouble caused by the Chinese medicine spilling on the workbench 1. Through the set measuring device 6, the weight of the weighed Chinese medicine can be displayed in real time. The operator can intuitively understand the current weight and thus perform accurate weighing operations.
[0031] Example 3: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 3 - Figure 6 The weighing plate 16 was also disclosed, and its specific structure is as follows: The weighing mechanism includes an electric push pump 13, which is disposed on the outer surface of the medicine hopper 2. An electric push rod 14 is disposed on the outer surface of the electric push pump 13. The weighing mechanism also includes an adjusting component 15, which is disposed on the inner side of the adjusting component 15. The weighing plate 16 is disposed on the outer surface of the adjusting component 15. There are two sets of weighing plates 16, which are symmetrically designed. The weighing plates 16 are disposed on the inner side of the medicine hopper 2.
[0032] The electric pump 13 and the electric push rod 14 work together to achieve the desired effect. Figure 6It is known that these mechanisms can drive the weighing plates 16 to rotate and move. Before the operator puts the medicinal materials into the medicine hopper 2, the electric push pump 13 is activated. The electric push pump 13 drives the electric push rod 14 to extend, causing the two sets of weighing plates 16 to align and then contact the falling medicinal materials. At this time, the weighing sensor under the weighing plates 16 starts to work, quickly and accurately weighing the medicinal materials. After weighing, the data is transmitted to the metering device 6 and then to the panel of the control console 4 for easy observation. The electric push rod 14 shortens, causing the weighing plates 16 to descend. The weighed medicinal materials fall into the discharge port 7 and are discharged. Through the set adjustment component 15, the weighing plates 16 can be flexibly adjusted to ensure the accuracy and stability of the weighing. The entire weighing process is fast and efficient, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of Chinese medicine weighing, while also reducing the labor intensity of the operators.
