Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drug dispensing equipment technology, and in particular to a manual verification device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of science and technology, automation technology has been widely applied in various industrial production processes. In recent years, automated equipment has also been gradually adopted in the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction to achieve functions such as automatic decoction, automatic slag discharge, automatic dispensing, and liquid filling, thereby significantly reducing the intensity of manual operation and improving production efficiency and the standardization of process control. In the design of such automated systems, in order to ensure the accuracy of the decoction process, it is usually necessary to manually verify the type and weight of the medicinal materials added to the decoction tank.

[0042] In the design of automated systems, to ensure the accuracy of the decoction process, it is usually necessary to manually verify the type and weight of the medicinal materials added to the decoction container. However, due to the large size and complex structure of the container, coupled with its location in an automated production line environment, manual verification presents numerous inconveniences. How to achieve convenient and rapid manual verification of medicinal material information without disrupting the overall automated process has become a key technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in current system design.

[0043] This utility model proposes a manual verification device 100.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the manual verification device 100 includes a frame 1, a flipping plate 21, a medicine barrel assembly 3, and a lifting mechanism 4. The flipping plate 21 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 about a laterally extending rotation axis, and the flipping plate 21 has a free end that rotates about its rotation axis. The medicine barrel assembly 3 is supported on the frame 1 and is located above the flipping plate 21, so that when the flipping plate 21 rotates, the medicine barrel assembly 3 is driven to move by the flipping plate 21, so that the angle of the medicine barrel assembly 3 is adjustable. The lifting mechanism 4 extends in the vertical direction, the upper end of the lifting mechanism 4 is rotatably connected to the free end of the flipping plate 21, and the lower end of the lifting mechanism 4 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The lifting mechanism 4 is used to drive the flipping plate 21 to rotate.

[0045] It should be noted that the manual verification device 100 is suitable for the rapid confirmation of the type and quality of medicinal materials inside the medicine barrel assembly 3 on an automated production line for traditional Chinese medicine decoction. The device includes a frame 1, which serves as the overall support structure for the manual verification device 100, supporting various functional components and ensuring their stable operation.

[0046] A tilting plate 21 is provided on the frame 1. The tilting plate 21 is mounted on the frame 1 in a manner that allows it to rotate around a laterally extending axis via a rotatable connection structure. The tilting plate 21 has a free end, which allows it to rotate relative to the frame 1 around the laterally extending axis under the action of an external driving force. The tilting plate 21 provides a variable-angle support platform and is linked with the subsequent medicine barrel assembly 3.

[0047] The medicine barrel assembly 3 is supported on the frame 1 and positioned above the tilting plate 21. When the tilting plate 21 rotates, the medicine barrel assembly 3 changes its angle accordingly, thereby adjusting its own posture.

[0048] It should be noted that, traditionally, due to the large size and weight of the medicine barrels, and their location within a continuously operating automated production line, it is difficult for personnel to approach or observe the condition of the medicines inside. This often necessitates stopping the machine or manually moving the barrels, impacting efficiency and posing safety hazards. This solution, however, utilizes an automated attitude adjustment mechanism, allowing the medicine barrels to tilt without leaving the production line. This maintains continuous production line operation while ensuring efficient verification.

[0049] Understandably, the medicine barrel assembly 3 is typically used to hold the Chinese medicinal herbs to be decocted, and to complete the initial soaking and heating process inside. To facilitate manual verification, the opening orientation of the medicine barrel assembly 3 needs to be somewhat controllable, allowing staff to clearly observe or directly contact the medicinal herbs inside.

[0050] To achieve the above objectives, the manual verification device 100 is also equipped with a lifting mechanism 4. The lifting mechanism 4 extends vertically, with its upper end connected to the free end of the tilting plate 21 via a revolute joint, and its lower end connected to the frame 1 via another revolute joint. This linkage mechanism enables the lifting mechanism 4 to drive the tilting plate 21 to rotate around its fixed fulcrum during extension and retraction.

[0051] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 4 can be an actuator that can precisely control the stroke, such as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod, so as to achieve quantitative adjustment of the flipping angle.

[0052] When manual verification is required, the lifting mechanism 4 is activated, causing it to drive the tilting plate 21 to rise from its initial horizontal position at a certain angle. At this time, the tilting plate 21 pushes the medicine barrel assembly 3 to tilt synchronously, so that the opening of the medicine barrel assembly 3 faces the direction of the operator. The tilted posture of the medicine barrel assembly 3 not only improves the visibility of the medicinal materials, but also facilitates the staff to quickly check and confirm the medicinal materials using barcode scanning equipment, weighing tools, or other testing methods.

[0053] In this invention, the rotation of the tilting plate 21 is driven by the lifting mechanism 4. The lifting mechanism 4 is connected to both ends of the frame 1 and the tilting plate 21, forming a four-bar linkage. This allows for the adjustment of the medicine barrel assembly 3's posture within a limited space. Since the medicine barrel assembly 3 is located on the tilting plate 21, its angle changes with the rotation of the tilting plate 21, ultimately ensuring the opening of the medicine barrel faces the operator, thus improving the visibility of the medicinal materials.

[0054] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the flip plate 21 has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction. The first end of the flip plate 21 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the second end of the flip plate 21 forms the free end. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting rod, which includes a main body 41 and a lifting part 42 movably disposed at the upper end of the main body 41. The lifting part 42 is telescopically disposed along the length direction of the main body 41. The lower end of the main body 41 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the upper end of the lifting part 42 is rotatably connected to the free end of the flip plate 21.

[0055] The tilting plate 21 has a first end and a second end extending longitudinally and arranged opposite to each other. The first end is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via a rotating connection structure. Specifically, this rotating connection structure includes a hinge seat at the first end of the tilting plate 21 and a rotating shaft that engages with it. Both ends of the rotating shaft are fixedly connected to the frame 1, allowing the tilting plate 21 to rotate around the shaft in a vertical plane. The second end serves as a free end, allowing it to swing freely up and down when not subjected to external force. This free end is rotatably connected to a lifting mechanism 4. The lifting mechanism 4, through its telescopic movement, drives the free end to rotate around the shaft, thereby adjusting the overall angle of the tilting plate 21.

[0056] It is understood that the lifting rod consists of a main body 41 and a lifting section 42. The main body 41, as the foundation structure of the entire lifting mechanism 4, possesses a certain rigidity and load-bearing capacity, used to support and guide the movement of the lifting section 42. The lifting section 42 is movably mounted on the upper end of the main body 41 and can extend and retract along the length of the main body 41, thereby changing the overall length of the lifting mechanism 4. In this way, the lifting mechanism 4 can generate displacement in the vertical direction, thereby causing the connected tilting plate 21 to rotate.

[0057] In terms of installation, the lower end of the main body 41 of the lifting rod is connected to the frame 1 via a rotating joint, allowing the entire lifting mechanism 4 to swing around the connection point within a certain range. Simultaneously, the upper end of the lifting part 42 forms another rotating connection with the free end of the tilting plate 21. This ensures that the lifting mechanism 4 is not subject to rigid constraints during movement.

[0058] When the posture of the medicine barrel assembly 3 needs to be adjusted, the lifting rod is activated, causing its lifting part 42 to extend upward or retract downward relative to the main body 41. As the position of the lifting part 42 changes, the free end of the tilting plate 21 is pushed or pulled back, thereby rotating around its fixed fulcrum. Since the medicine barrel assembly 3 is located on the tilting plate 21 and moves synchronously with it, it will also tilt at a certain angle. By controlling the extension and retraction of the lifting part 42, the tilting angle of the tilting plate 21 can be precisely adjusted, thereby controlling the degree of tilt of the medicine barrel assembly 3, so that its opening faces the direction of the operator, facilitating rapid verification of the type and quality of the medicinal materials.

[0059] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the medicine barrel assembly 3 includes a base plate 31, an outer barrel 32, and an inner barrel 33. The outer barrel 32 has a cavity with an upper feed inlet a. The bottom of the outer barrel 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 31. The inner barrel 33 is used to hold Chinese medicinal materials. The inner barrel 33 is provided with filter holes and is detachably installed in the cavity.

[0060] The base plate 31 serves as the fundamental support platform for the entire medicine barrel assembly 3, supporting the overall structure of the outer barrel 32 and the inner barrel 33, and providing a stable support surface for the installation of the medicine barrel assembly 3 on the tilting plate 21. The base plate 31 is made of a metal material with certain strength and rigidity to withstand load changes during tilting and handling of the medicine barrel assembly 3. At the same time, the base plate 31 also serves as the main contact point for subsequent automatic handling equipment (such as robotic arms) clamping operations, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the medicine barrel assembly 3 as a whole during production line flow.

[0061] The outer container 32 is mainly used to hold the liquid medium required during the decoction process, such as water or other specified solvents, so that the Chinese medicinal materials can complete the initial soaking and release of active ingredients in it.

[0062] The outer barrel 32 has an upward-opening cavity structure with a feed inlet a at its upper end for operators to introduce Chinese medicinal herbs and water. The bottom of the outer barrel 32 is firmly connected to one side of the base plate 31 by welding or other fixing methods to enhance the overall structural rigidity of the medicine barrel assembly 3 and facilitate subsequent positioning, conveying and pouring operations on the automated production line.

[0063] The inner container 33 is used to directly hold the Chinese medicinal herbs to be decocted. The side wall or bottom of the inner container 33 is provided with filter holes. It can be understood that the size of the filter holes can be reasonably configured according to the size of the medicinal material particles to ensure that the decoction can pass through smoothly, while the medicinal residue is retained inside the inner container 33.

[0064] The inner barrel 33 is detachably installed inside the cavity of the outer barrel 32, allowing it to be easily removed from or reinserted into the outer barrel 32 for easy replacement of medicinal materials or cleaning of residues. When the inner barrel 33 is placed inside the cavity of the outer barrel 32, the medicinal materials are immersed in the liquid inside the outer barrel 32, and can gradually release their active ingredients during subsequent heating to achieve the purpose of decoction.

[0065] Furthermore, to ensure that the medicine container assembly 3 remains stably in the set position during the tilting and angle adjustment process, and to prevent the risk of slipping or tipping due to tilting, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 In this embodiment, the circumference of the flip plate 21 is also provided with a plurality of side panels, including two first side panels 22 and a second side panel 23. The two first side panels 22 are arranged opposite each other in the lateral direction, and the first side panels 22 have a first end 221 and a second end 222. The second side panel 23 is disposed at the first end 221 of the two first side panels 22 and extends between the two first side panels 22 to form a feed inlet a between the second ends 222 of the two first side panels 22.

[0066] Two first side panels 22, arranged laterally opposite each other, are respectively located near the two edges of the flip plate 21 and distributed along the longitudinal extension direction of the flip plate 21. Each first side panel 22 has two ends, one of which is defined as the first end 221 and the other end as the second end 222. A certain gap is left between the second ends 222 of the two first side panels 22 to form an opening area, namely the feed inlet a. By setting the feed inlet a, the medicine barrel assembly 3 can be longitudinally moved into the space between the two first side panels 22 and gradually approach the second side panel 23 located between the first ends 221 of the two first side panels 22.

[0067] The second side panel 23 is disposed between the first ends 221 of the two first side panels 22 and extends therebetween to form a closed or semi-closed limiting boundary. The second side panel 23 can stop and limit, especially when the flipping action is performed, it can contact the bottom plate 31 of the medicine barrel assembly 3 and provide reverse support force to prevent the bottom plate 31 from detaching from the flipping plate 21 during the tilting process.

[0068] When the medicine barrel assembly 3 enters the bearing area above the tilting plate 21 longitudinally from the feed inlet a, its bottom plate 31 is guided between the two first side panels 22 and finally abuts against the second side panel 23. At this time, the position of the medicine barrel assembly 3 is completely confined within the support area formed by the three side panels, ensuring that it will not shift or slip during subsequent tilting.

[0069] After the flipping operation begins, the lifting mechanism 4 drives the free end of the flipping plate 21 to rise upwards, causing the entire flipping plate 21 to rotate around its fixed fulcrum. As the flipping angle increases, the bottom plate 31 of the medicine barrel assembly 3 gradually tilts and forms a tighter limiting fit with the second side panel 23. This design not only improves the stability during the flipping process but also avoids the risk of the medicine barrel assembly 3 sliding laterally or falling off due to gravity or inertia.

[0070] Furthermore, it should be noted that the inclusion of inlet a effectively accommodates the need for rapid loading and unloading of the medicine barrel assembly 3 in automated production lines. Through reasonable size design and guide structure configuration, the medicine barrel assembly 3 can smoothly enter or exit the tilting plate 21 area from inlet a with the assistance of a robotic arm or conveyor device.

[0071] Further, please refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, the second side panel 23 is recessed with a limiting groove 23a on the side facing the feed port a. The limiting groove 23a extends laterally and has a certain depth and width, which is used to accommodate and hold the end edge of the bottom plate 31 of the medicine barrel assembly 3.

[0072] When the medicine barrel assembly 3 enters the flipping area longitudinally from the feed inlet a, the front edge of its bottom plate 31 finally abuts against the second side panel 23 and partially inserts into the limiting groove 23a. The design shape of the limiting groove 23a matches the edge of the bottom plate 31, so that the bottom plate 31 is stably held in the limiting groove 23a before the flipping action is performed, thereby restricting its degree of freedom of movement in the lateral direction and preventing the medicine barrel assembly 3 from sliding laterally or detaching from the flipping plate 21 due to external force or shift of the center of gravity during the flipping process.

[0073] Furthermore, to improve the smoothness and accuracy of the medicine barrel assembly 3 entering the bearing area of ​​the flipping plate 21 during longitudinal movement, please refer to [further details needed]. Figure 9 In this embodiment, the inner surfaces of the two first side panels 22, which are arranged opposite to each other, are provided with first guide slopes 2201. The two first guide slopes 2201 are inclined away from each other from the first end 221 of the first side panel 22 toward the second end 222.

[0074] The guide ramps are arranged at an angle from the first end 221 of the first side panel 22 to the second end 222, tending to move away from each other, thereby forming a spatial transition area that gradually widens between the two first side panels 22.

[0075] When the medicine barrel assembly 3 begins to enter the area of ​​the flip plate 21, the two sides of its bottom plate 31 first contact the first guide ramps 2201 on the two first side panels 22. Because the guide ramps are inclined outwards, even with a certain initial offset, the medicine barrel assembly 3 can be automatically guided to the center position between the two first side panels 22 during its forward movement. As the medicine barrel assembly 3 continues to advance, its bottom plate 31 gradually leaves the area of ​​the guide ramps and enters the parallel section between the two first side panels 22. At this point, the medicine barrel assembly 3 has basically completed its centering and finally abuts against the second side panel 23, completing the entire loading action.

[0076] This design not only improves the fault tolerance of the medicine barrel component 3 during the insertion process, but also reduces jamming or impact caused by installation deviations.

[0077] Furthermore, to ensure good load-bearing stability of the medicine barrel assembly 3 during the tilting and adjustment process, please refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the frame 1 includes two first support portions 11 spaced apart in the horizontal direction and extending in the vertical direction. The base plate 31 is supported on the upper end face of the two first support portions 11. The flip plate 21 is disposed between the two first support portions 11 and does not exceed the upper end face of the two first support portions 11. The two first side panels 22 are disposed on both sides of the base plate 31.

[0078] Understandably, each of the first support parts 11 has a certain height and rigidity, and its upper end face is used to directly support the base plate 31 of the medicine barrel assembly 3. The base plate 31 serves as the basic platform of the medicine barrel assembly 3, and its two sides are respectively attached to the upper end faces of the two first support parts 11, thereby realizing the stable installation of the medicine barrel assembly 3 on the frame 1.

[0079] A flip plate 21 is positioned between the two first support portions 11, and its upper surface is not higher than the upper surfaces of the two first support portions 11. This ensures that the medicine container assembly 3 can be stably placed on the two first support portions 11 when no flipping action occurs. The flip plate 21 only intervenes to adjust the posture of the medicine container assembly 3 when it needs to perform the flipping function. When the flip plate 21 is driven to rotate upward, its free end gradually rises, causing the medicine container assembly 3 to tilt synchronously, thereby changing its opening orientation to meet the needs of manual verification.

[0080] Furthermore, to improve the centering and operational stability of the medicine tank assembly 3 when it enters the tilting area longitudinally, please refer to... Figure 6 In this embodiment, the upper end of each of the first support portions 11 is recessed with a guide groove 11a, which extends longitudinally; the bottom of the base plate 31 is provided with a positioning protrusion 311 that can slide and cooperate with the guide groove 11a.

[0081] The guide groove 11a extends through the length of the first support portion 11, forming a recessed structure with a certain depth and width, used to accommodate and guide the positioning component at the bottom of the medicine container assembly 3. At the same time, a positioning protrusion 311 matching the guide groove 11a is provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 31 of the medicine container assembly 3.

[0082] Understandably, the positioning protrusion 311 is typically made of metal or high-strength engineering plastic, and its shape corresponds to the contour of the guide groove 11a to ensure a stable sliding fit between the two.

[0083] When the medicine barrel assembly 3 is pushed longitudinally from the feed inlet a towards the area of ​​the flip plate 21, the positioning protrusion 311 on the bottom plate 31 gradually inserts into the guide groove 11a of the first support part 11 and slides forward inside it, thereby guiding the medicine barrel assembly 3 to accurately enter the predetermined position.

[0084] By setting a sliding engagement structure between the guide groove 11a and the positioning protrusion 311, the guide groove 11a extends longitudinally at the upper end of the first support part 11, and its direction is consistent with the expected movement path of the medicine barrel assembly 3, providing a clear movement trajectory for the longitudinal displacement of the base plate 31. The positioning protrusion 311 is set on the lower surface of the base plate 31 and forms a sliding engagement relationship with the guide groove 11a, so that the medicine barrel assembly 3 always moves along the predetermined direction when entering the flipping area.

[0085] Furthermore, to improve the smoothness and fault tolerance of the centering adjustment of the medicine barrel assembly 3 during entry into the flipping area, please refer to... Figure 6 In this embodiment, the sidewall of the guide groove 11a is provided with a second guide slope 111.

[0086] The guide slope extends at an inclination along the width of the guide groove 11a, and its inclination direction causes the guide groove 11a to gradually expand outward near the inlet end of the medicine barrel assembly 3, thereby forming a transition area that gradually narrows from wide to narrow.

[0087] When the medicine barrel assembly 3 is pushed longitudinally from the feed inlet a towards the area of ​​the tilting plate 21, the positioning protrusion 311 under its bottom plate 31 first contacts the second guide slope 111 at the entrance of the guide groove 11a. Because of the second guide slope 111, even if the positioning protrusion 311 has a certain lateral offset in its initial position, it can be gradually guided to the center position during the process of sliding into the guide groove 11a, thereby achieving automatic centering.

[0088] For details, please continue reading Figure 6In this embodiment, the first support 11 includes a first bracket 1101 and a conveyor belt 1102 disposed on the first bracket 1101. The conveyor belt 1102 extends longitudinally and is movably disposed longitudinally. The base plate 31 is supported on the conveyor belt 1102 so that it is driven to move longitudinally by the conveyor belt 1102 when the conveyor belt 1102 moves longitudinally.

[0089] It is understood that the first support 1101 is a basic structure for support and positioning, and the conveyor belt 1102 extends longitudinally and can move back and forth or unidirectionally in the longitudinal direction to realize automatic transmission control of the medicine barrel assembly 3.

[0090] It should be noted that the conveyor belt 1102 is composed of components such as a drive motor 1103, transmission rollers, and a tensioning device, and its upper surface forms the bearing surface of the bottom plate 31 of the medicine barrel assembly 3. The bottom plate 31 is directly supported on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1102 and maintains stable contact with it through friction. When the conveyor belt 1102 starts and runs in the longitudinal direction, the bottom plate 31 is driven accordingly, thereby realizing the translational movement of the entire medicine barrel assembly 3 in the longitudinal direction.

[0091] In this way, the automatic feeding process from the feed inlet a to the tilting area can be completed without relying on external handling equipment. When the medicine barrel assembly 3 is in the initial position, its bottom plate 31 is located at the starting end of the conveyor belt 1102; as the conveyor belt 1102 runs, the medicine barrel assembly 3 is gradually transported to the area where the tilting plate 21 is located, and finally stops at the predetermined position, ready to perform subsequent manual verification or tilting and dumping actions.

[0092] In addition, it should be noted that in order to improve the stability of the medicine barrel assembly 3 during the conveying process, the surface of the conveyor belt 1102 can be made of a material with a certain coefficient of friction, such as rubber coating or anti-slip texture, to prevent the base plate 31 from slipping or shifting during the movement.

[0093] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a proximity switch 5 is also provided on the frame 1; at least one positioning plate 312 is provided on the base plate 31, the positioning plate 312 extends along the planes in the vertical and horizontal directions, and is used for the proximity switch 5 to detect and position the medicine barrel assembly 3 when it moves longitudinally.

[0094] Therefore, a proximity switch 5 is further provided on the frame 1 to detect and provide feedback on the position of the medicine barrel assembly 3 during longitudinal movement in real time. The proximity switch 5 typically uses a non-contact sensing element, such as an inductive or capacitive sensor, and is installed at a predetermined position on the frame 1, facing the movement path of the medicine barrel assembly 3.

[0095] At least one positioning plate 312 is provided on the base plate 31 of the medicine barrel assembly 3. The positioning plate 312 extends along the plane formed by the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, that is, its main extension direction is horizontal, and enters the detection range of the proximity switch 5 when the medicine barrel assembly 3 moves longitudinally. The positioning plate 312 is usually made of metal material to achieve reliable sensing with the inductive proximity switch 5. When the medicine barrel assembly 3 moves longitudinally to a preset position, the positioning plate 312 enters the sensing area of ​​the proximity switch 5, triggering the switch signal, thereby achieving accurate identification of the current position of the medicine barrel assembly 3.

[0096] With this setup, the control system can determine whether the medicine barrel assembly 3 has accurately entered the flipping area or the verification station based on the signal fed back by the proximity switch 5, and then control the execution of subsequent actions.

[0097] Specifically, when the medicine barrel assembly 3 moves longitudinally to the preset position, the positioning plate 312 on the base plate 31 enters the detection range of the proximity switch 5 and triggers a signal feedback. After receiving the signal, the control system determines that the medicine barrel assembly 3 has accurately reached the verification station. Subsequently, the system issues a control command to stop the operation of the conveyor belt, causing the medicine barrel assembly 3 to stop its current longitudinal conveying action, thus completing the positioning.

[0098] After confirming that the medicine barrel assembly 3 is stably in place, the control system issues a further command to activate the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism gradually extends to the preset length, pushing the free end of the tilting plate to rotate upwards. Driven by the lifting mechanism, the tilting plate rotates around its rotational connection point with the frame 1, thereby causing the medicine barrel assembly 3 located above it to tilt synchronously.

[0099] The control system precisely controls the extension of the lifting mechanism according to the preset angle, ensuring that the medicine barrel assembly 3 is flipped to the set angle so that the opening of the medicine barrel assembly 3 faces the operator, so as to facilitate the manual verification of the type and quality of the medicinal materials.

[0100] On an automated Chinese medicine decoction production line, the medicine barrel assembly 3 may be reversed when entering the verification station due to reasons such as the conveying path, the gripping method of the robotic arm, or manual operation. In order to avoid this situation, in this embodiment, two positioning plates 312 are provided. The two positioning plates 312 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, and the two positioning plates 312 are centrally symmetrical about the axis of the outer barrel 32.

[0101] By setting two symmetrically distributed positioning plates 312, regardless of whether the medicine barrel assembly 3 enters the flipping area in the normal direction or rotated 180° in the opposite direction, at least one positioning plate 312 can be ensured to enter the detection range of the proximity switch 5 and trigger a valid signal feedback. This structure not only improves the detection reliability of the system, but also enhances the compatibility and fault tolerance of the medicine barrel assembly 3 in the automatic conveying process, reducing manual intervention or system downtime caused by incorrect orientation.

[0102] Specifically, in this embodiment, the manual review device 100 further includes a display controller 6 disposed on the frame 1, and the display controller 6 is provided with operation keys and / or display control area.

[0103] Understandably, the display controller 6 integrates operation keys and / or a display area (i.e., a screen) for human-machine interaction. The display controller 6 is fixedly installed on the front or top of the rack 1, facilitating information input, status viewing, and process control by operators during the verification process.

[0104] In practical implementation, the display and control area of ​​the display controller 6 adopts the form of an LCD screen or a touch screen, which can display key data such as prescription information, medicinal material names, compatibility ratios, weighing values, and barcode scanning status in real time. The operation keys include, but are not limited to, confirmation keys, cancel keys, page up and down keys, and numeric input keys, which are used to assist operators in completing interactive operations when touch functionality is unavailable.

[0105] In the manual verification process of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing, in some implementations, for example: the operator first scans the prescription number using a barcode scanner or other scanning device, and the system automatically retrieves the corresponding prescription data and displays it on the display area of ​​the display controller 6. Subsequently, the operator scans and registers the dispensed Chinese medicinal materials in sequence, and confirms the weight on the weighing platform (not shown). The system compares the actual weighed value with the prescription standard value and displays the difference value or whether it meets the error range on the display controller 6.

[0106] If the system determines that the weight of a certain medicinal material exceeds the allowable error range, the display controller 6 will display an alarm prompt on the display area, and the operator can confirm or re-weigh the material using the operation keys. Furthermore, operators can use the display controller 6 to switch between different prescription pages, query historical records, and print review reports, thereby achieving fully digital and intelligent review management.

[0107] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
