The rotating plate is initially positioned above the first plate. During plaster production, the plaster base fabric is first laid flat above the cell units of the rotating plate. Then, the driving unit drives the rotating plate to rotate 90° clockwise until it is below the dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism squeezes out a fixed amount of plaster to each cell position on the plaster base fabric. Next, the driving unit drives the rotating plate to rotate 90° clockwise until it is below the pressing mechanism. At this point, a protective film is placed over the plaster base fabric containing the plaster. The pressing mechanism then presses and adheres the protective film and plaster base fabric together. Finally, the driving unit drives the rotating plate to rotate 90° clockwise until it is below the dividing mechanism. The dividing mechanism, in conjunction with the grid groove, divides the entire protective film and plaster base fabric into individual finished plasters. Through the combination of the above structures, problems such as low production efficiency, uneven thickness, and large fluctuations in the amount of medicine when manually making plasters can be effectively avoided. At the same time, it avoids the problem of wrist joint strain caused by manual production.

[0012] 2. This utility model, by setting up an ejection mechanism, allows the dividing mechanism to divide the whole hard paste into several individual finished hard pastes. The driving unit drives the rotating plate to rotate 90° clockwise to the top of the first plate. Then, the ejection mechanism ejects several finished hard pastes from the rotating plate. Before ejecting the finished hard pastes from the rotating plate, a collection box needs to be placed under the first plate. With the ejection mechanism, there is no need for manual ejection of the finished hard pastes, further saving manpower and increasing the efficiency of material ejection, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of hard paste production.

[0018] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine plaster production device includes a fixed plate 1. A first plate 2, a second plate 3, a third plate 4, and a fourth plate 5, arranged clockwise, are fixedly connected around the fixed plate 1. A rotating plate 6 is rotatably connected to the top center of the fixed plate 1 via a rotating shaft. A drive unit 7 for driving the rotating shaft is located at the bottom of the fixed plate 1. A grid groove 8 is vertically formed on the top of the rotating plate 6, dividing the top of the rotating plate 6 into several cell units 9, each cell measuring 8×10cm. Therefore, the final size of the finished plaster is also 8×10cm, with an error ≤0.3mm. A dispensing mechanism 10 is provided on the second plate 3, a pressing mechanism 11 is provided on the third plate 4, a dividing mechanism 12 is provided on the fourth plate 5, and a pushing mechanism 13 is provided on the rotating plate 6. The initial position of the rotating plate 6 is above the first plate 2. When making plaster, the plaster base cloth is first laid flat on top of the cell 9 of the rotating plate 6. Then, the rotating plate 6 is driven to rotate 90° clockwise by the driving unit 7 to the position below the dispensing mechanism 10. The dispensing mechanism 10 squeezes out a certain amount of plaster to the position corresponding to each cell 9 on the plaster base cloth. Then, the rotating plate 6 is driven to rotate 90° clockwise by the driving unit 7 to the position below the pressing mechanism 11. At this time, a protective film is covered on the plaster base cloth with the plaster squeezed out. Then, the pressing mechanism 11 presses and adheres the protective film and the plaster base cloth together. Then, the rotating plate 6 is driven to rotate 90° clockwise by the driving unit 7 to the position below the dividing mechanism 12. The dividing mechanism 12 and the grid groove 8 cooperate to divide the entire protective film and plaster base cloth into individual finished plasters. Through the cooperation of the above structure, the production efficiency of plaster is greatly improved, effectively avoiding the problems of low production efficiency, uneven thickness, and large fluctuations in the amount of medicine when making plaster manually. At the same time, it avoids the problem of wrist joint strain caused by manual production. After the dividing mechanism 12 divides the whole hard paste into several individual finished hard pastes, the driving unit 7 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate 90° clockwise to above the first plate 2. Then, the ejection mechanism 13 ejects several finished hard pastes from the rotating plate 6. Before ejecting the finished hard pastes from the rotating plate 6, a collection box needs to be placed below the first plate 2. With the ejection mechanism 13, there is no need for manual ejection of the finished hard pastes, which further saves manpower and has a fast ejection efficiency, which helps to improve the hard paste production efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the drive unit 7 includes a first gear 701 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft, a motor 702 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 1, and a second gear 703 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 702, meshing with the first gear 701. In use, the drive unit 7 drives the second gear 703 to rotate via the motor 702, thereby driving the first gear 701 to rotate the rotating shaft and the rotating plate 6. Through external system settings, the rotation angle by which the motor 702 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate is a fixed 90° each time. Furthermore, the dispensing mechanism 10 includes a first L-shaped plate fixedly connected to the outside of the second plate 3. A medicine storage box 1001 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate of the first L-shaped plate. A PID temperature control system is installed inside the medicine storage box 1001. The PID temperature control system is existing technology and is used to adjust the temperature of the ointment in the medicine storage box 1001 to ensure that the ointment has consistent fluidity. A medicine storage tank 1001 is connected to a medicine replenishment tube on one side. A volumetric pump 1002 and a medicine dispenser 1003 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the medicine storage tank 1001. The volumetric pump 1002 is a screw pump. The input end of the volumetric pump 1002 is connected to the medicine storage tank 1001 through a first connecting pipe. The output end of the volumetric pump 1002 is connected to the medicine dispenser 1003 through a second connecting pipe. The bottom of the medicine dispenser 1003 is connected to a medicine dispensing tube 1004 that corresponds one-to-one with several cell 9. When the rotating plate 6 rotates to the bottom of the horizontal plate of the first L-shaped plate, each medicine dispensing tube 1004 will be aligned with the center position of the corresponding cell 9. When in use, the dispensing mechanism 10 starts the volumetric pump 1002, which extracts a measured amount of ointment from the storage tank 1001 through the first connecting pipe. Then, the ointment is transported to the ointment dispenser 1003 through the second connecting pipe. The ointment is then evenly squeezed onto the center of each cell 9 on the plaster base cloth through several dispensing pipes 1004. Because the plaster has a certain fluidity, when the ointment is squeezed onto the plaster base cloth, it will naturally spread out due to gravity and form a nearly circular shape.

[0021] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism 11 includes a second L-shaped plate fixedly connected to the outside of the third plate 4. A first cylinder 1101 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate of the second L-shaped plate. A mounting bracket 1102 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 1101. A fixed pressure plate 1103 is fixedly connected inside the mounting bracket 1102. The bottom of the fixed pressure plate 1103 has a circular groove 1104 that corresponds one-to-one with a plurality of cell 9 along its bottom. When the rotating plate 6 rotates to the bottom of the horizontal plate of the second L-shaped plate, each circular groove 1104 will align with the corresponding cell. At the center of grid 9, each circular groove 1104 is provided with a corresponding thickness pressure plate 1106. The top of the thickness pressure plate 1106 is fixedly connected to a pressure rod 1105. The pressure rod 1105 is slidably connected to the fixed pressure plate 1103. The top of each pressure rod 1105 is fixedly connected to a lifting plate 1107. A second cylinder 1108 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1102. The output end of the second cylinder 1108 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 1107. A flexible pad 1109 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed pressure plate 1103. Before using the pressing mechanism 11, a protective film needs to be placed on the plaster base cloth with the ointment squeezed on it. Then, the pressing mechanism 11 is used. When the pressing mechanism 11 is used, the first cylinder 1101 is activated. The output end of the first cylinder 1101 will drive the fixed pressure plate 1103 to move downward through the mounting bracket 1102. The protective film and the plaster base cloth are pressed and pasted together by the flexible pad 1109. At this time, the nearly circular ointment will be located in the circular groove 1104. Then, the second cylinder 1108 is activated. The output end of the second cylinder 1108 drives the lifting plate 1107 to move downward, thereby driving several pressure rods 1105 and several thickness pressure plates 1106 to move downward, squeezing the ointment to a suitable thickness and making the ointment thickness uniform.

[0022] Furthermore, the dividing mechanism 12 includes a third L-shaped plate fixedly connected to the outside of the fourth plate 5. A third cylinder 1201 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal plate of the third L-shaped plate, and a grid dividing blade 1202 adapted to the grid groove 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third cylinder 1201. When the dividing mechanism 12 is in use, the third cylinder 1201 is activated, and the output end of the third cylinder 1201 drives the grid dividing blade 1202 to move downward. Through the cooperation between the grid dividing blade 1202 and the grid groove 8, the whole hard paste is divided into several individual finished hard pastes.

[0023] Furthermore, the ejection mechanism 13 includes a mounting plate 1301 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 6. An electric telescopic rod 1302 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 1301 near the grid groove 8. A push plate 1303 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 1302. The gap between the bottom of the push plate 1303 and the top of the rotating plate 6 is less than 1mm. A guide rod 1304 is fixedly connected to the side of the push plate 1303 near the mounting plate 1301, and the guide rod 1304 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 1301. Before use, the ejection mechanism 13 requires placing a collection box under the first plate 2. Then, the electric telescopic rod 1302 is activated. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 1302 will drive the push plate 1303 towards the finished product paste, ejecting the finished product paste from the first plate 2 and collecting it in the collection box below. The guide rod 1304 ensures that the push plate 1303 is more stable during movement and does not wobble.

[0024] The working principle and usage process of this device are as follows: When making plaster, the initial position of the rotating plate 6 is above the first plate 2. First, the plaster base cloth is laid flat on the cell 9 of the rotating plate 6. Then, the driving unit 7 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate 90° clockwise to below the dispensing mechanism 10. The dispensing mechanism 10 squeezes out a certain amount of plaster to the corresponding cell 9 position on the plaster base cloth. Then, the driving unit 7 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate 90° clockwise to below the pressing mechanism 11. At this time, a protective film is covered on the plaster base cloth with the plaster squeezed out. Then, the pressing mechanism 11 presses and adheres the protective film and the plaster base cloth together. Then, the driving unit 7 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate 90° clockwise to below the dividing mechanism 12. The dividing mechanism 12 and the grid groove 8 cooperate to divide the entire protective film and plaster base cloth into individual finished plasters. Finally, the driving unit 7 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate 90° clockwise back to above the first plate 2. The finished plasters are pushed out and collected by the set ejection mechanism 13.
