Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment, specifically a filling device for traditional Chinese medicine granules. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine uses natural plants, animals, and minerals as raw materials, follows the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, and is processed through various methods. It includes compound prescriptions and single herbs, with mild medicinal properties and long-lasting effects. It carries thousands of years of medical wisdom and is an important carrier for conditioning health and treating diseases.

[0003] Chinese medicine granules are a modern dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine. They are made through processes such as extraction, concentration, and drying, retaining the core efficacy of the original medicine. They do not require decoction, are convenient to carry, and allow for precise dosage. They are suitable for the fast-paced modern life, continue the essence of traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, and make traditional Chinese medicine easier to integrate into daily health management.

[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine clinics primarily rely on manual labor for filling their own herbal granules. First, each ingredient is weighed using an electronic scale according to the prescription. Then, it is manually dispensed into packaging containers. The entire process requires manual counting and verification of the types and dosages. There is no dedicated automated filling equipment, making the operation cumbersome, prone to errors, and time-consuming, resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a filling device for herbal granules. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a filling device for Chinese medicine granules, which has the advantage of automatic counting and solves the problem of low efficiency in manual counting and filling of self-made Chinese medicine granules in traditional Chinese medicine clinics.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a filling device for traditional Chinese medicine granules, comprising a storage component and a counting component, wherein the counting component is disposed on the storage component, the counting component comprising a tube body having an upper sliding hole and a lower sliding hole, an upper baffle slidably disposed within the upper sliding hole, and a lower baffle slidably disposed within the lower sliding hole, further comprising a connecting frame disposed on the upper baffle and the lower baffle, the connecting frame being used to connect the upper baffle and the lower baffle, and further comprising a driving component disposed on the connecting frame, the driving component being used to drive the upper baffle and the lower baffle.

[0007] Furthermore, the storage component includes a support base, a storage hopper is fixed to the top of the support base, and the bottom of the storage hopper is connected to the top of the tube body.

[0008] The above solution uses welding to fix the support base and the storage hopper, ensuring a tight and secure connection. The bottom of the storage hopper is connected to the top of the pipe body, and this connection can be made by welding or flange to ensure a sealed passage. Both the support base and the storage hopper are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel to prevent contamination of the herbal granules. The support base supports the storage hopper, which is used for temporary storage of the herbal granules.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes Chinese medicine granules, which include granules A, granules B and granules C, and granules A, granules B and granules C are disposed inside the tube.

[0010] With the above scheme, particles A, B, and C are arranged in order from top to bottom. As the upper baffle gradually moves into the tube, the lower baffle will gradually move out of the tube, causing particle C on top of the lower baffle to fall off. Meanwhile, the upper baffle will support particle B, completing one count. The number of counts required each time is adjusted by a servo motor.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting frame includes two first connecting plates, which are respectively fixed to the upper baffle and the lower baffle, and a second connecting plate is fixed together on the two first connecting plates.

The output end of the servo motor is fixed to one end of the lead screw through a coupling, and the other end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the fixed base through a bearing. The servo motor provides power to drive the lead screw to rotate. When the lead screw rotates, it drives the slider to move along the lead screw axis, thereby driving the second connecting plate, the first connecting plate, the tube body, and the lower baffle to move.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive component also includes a guide rod and a linear bearing. The guide rod is fixed to the second connecting plate, and the linear bearing is fixed to the fixed base. The guide rod and the linear bearing are in sliding contact.

[0016] The above scheme guides the movement of the slider through the sliding fit between the guide rod and the linear bearing.

[0017] Furthermore, the fixing seat has a circular hole in the middle, through which the fixing seat slides in contact with the tube body, and one end of the fixing seat is open, with the open end of the fixing seat being fixed by a bolt.

[0018] With the above solution, the gap between the inner wall of the circular hole of the fixing seat and the outer wall of the tube is controlled at 0.1-0.2mm. The opening end of the fixing seat is locked with two bolts, and a brass wear-resistant sleeve is inlaid in the inner wall of the circular hole to increase the wear resistance.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] When the Chinese medicine granules are counted using the filling device, the servo motor drives the upper and lower baffles to reciprocate. As the upper baffle gradually moves into the tube, the lower baffle gradually moves out of the tube, causing granules C on top of the lower baffle to fall off. The upper baffle then supports granules B, completing one count. The number of granules to be counted each time is adjusted by the servo motor. This device has the advantage of automatic counting and solves the problem of low efficiency in manual counting and filling of Chinese medicine granules made in traditional Chinese medicine clinics.
