[0063] As shown in these drawings, a herbal medicine discharge cartridge module (10) according to an embodiment of the present invention is a herbal medicine discharge cartridge module (10) for discharging a pill-type herbal medicine in a fixed quantity, comprising: a cartridge body (101) having a discharge port (301) formed for discharging herbal medicine contained in a receiving space (201); and a fixed quantity discharge member (203) disposed in the discharge port (301) and coupled to a driving means (202) to discharge herbal medicine in the receiving space (201) through the discharge port (301) as it rotates; wherein the fixed quantity discharge member (203) is characterized in that at least one settling groove (205) is formed on the outside for classifying and discharging herbal medicine in a preset unit quantity.

[0064] The present invention relates to a herbal medicine discharge cartridge module (10) for quantitatively discharging a herbal medicine of a ring type (hereinafter referred to as a herbal medicine).

[0065] Each component is described in detail below.

[0066] First, the cartridge body (101) is opened at the top to form a storage space (201) for containing herbal medicine.

[0067] Here, the width of the receiving space (201) can gradually decrease as it goes toward the discharge port (301). This is to ensure that the herbal medicine contained in the receiving space (201) is concentrated toward the discharge port (301).

[0068] That is, the lower side of the cartridge body (101) can be formed to be inclined so that the herbal medicine contained in the receiving space (201) is concentrated and discharged through the discharge port (301).

[0069] Here, the cartridge body (101) is coupled with an upper cover (103) on the upper side so that the upper side of the receiving space (201) can be shielded.

[0070] Meanwhile, the cartridge body (101) is formed with a discharge port (301) on the lower side for discharging the herbal medicine contained in the storage space (201).

[0071] These discharge ports (301) can be formed in multiple numbers by being partitioned by a partition wall (303) to increase discharge efficiency.

[0072] That is, the cartridge body (101) includes a first discharge port (305) and a second discharge port (307) partitioned from the first discharge port (305) by a partition wall (303).

[0073] In addition, the cartridge body (101) is formed with a discharge groove (309) on the lower side that is connected to the discharge port (301) and guides the herbal medicine to the discharge port (301) so that the herbal medicine is concentrated and discharged to the discharge port (301).

[0074] The discharge groove (309) is formed to be inclined at a certain angle so that the herbal medicine is concentrated and discharged toward the discharge port (301), and its width is formed to gradually decrease as it goes toward the discharge port (301).

[0075] Meanwhile, the cartridge body (101) further includes a partition projection (311) that protrudes from the discharge groove (309) and divides the discharge groove (309) into a plurality of parts.

[0076] That is, the discharge groove (309) includes a first discharge groove (313) connected to the first discharge port (305) so that the herbal medicine is discharged through the first discharge port (305), and a second discharge groove (315) connected to the second discharge port (307) so that the herbal medicine is discharged through the second discharge port (307) and is partitioned through the first discharge groove (313) and the partition protrusion (311).

[0077] In this way, one embodiment of the present invention can improve the efficiency of discharging the herbal medicine by forming a plurality of discharge grooves (309) that guide the herbal medicine to a plurality of discharge ports (301).

[0078] Meanwhile, the cartridge body (101) is formed to be recessed to communicate with the discharge port (301) on one side and further includes a rotation guide groove (207) to which a quantitative discharge member (203) is rotatably coupled.

[0079] Continuing, the quantitative discharge member (203) is placed in the discharge port (301).

[0080] More specifically, the quantitative discharge member (203) is inserted into a rotation guide groove (207) on one side and is coupled to a driving means (202) on the other side, and is rotated by the driving means (202) to discharge the herbal medicine through the discharge port (301).

[0081] Here, the driving means (202) includes a driving motor (501) and a coupling member (503) coupled to the driving motor (501) and rotated together with the quantitative discharge member (203) when the driving motor (501) is driven.

[0082] At this time, the connecting member (503) is formed with a plurality of connecting protrusions (505) formed in a circumferential direction, and a plurality of connecting grooves (507) are formed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0083] Here, a plurality of coupling protrusions (505) are formed with tapered surfaces (509) on both ends so that the quantitative discharge member (203) can be easily inserted into the coupling groove (507).

[0084] Meanwhile, the quantitative discharge member (203) is characterized by having at least one settling groove (205) formed on the outside to discharge the herbal medicine by classifying it into a preset unit quantity.

[0085] In addition, the quantitative discharge member (203) is characterized in that a settling groove (205) is formed by forming two or more discharge wings (209) on the outside to classify and discharge the herbal medicine in a unit quantity.

[0086] To explain the structure of this quantitative discharge member (203) in more detail, it includes a drive coupling part (513) in which a plurality of coupling blades (511) are formed in a circumferential direction and inserted into a coupling groove (507) of the coupling member (503), and a discharge part (515) that extends in the longitudinal direction from the drive coupling part (513) and in which at least two or more discharge wings (209) are formed protrudingly to form a settling groove (205) so as to classify and discharge herbal medicines in a preset unit quantity.

[0087] The drive coupling part (513) is formed with a plurality of coupling blades (511) spaced at regular intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0088] Here, a plurality of coupling blades (511) can be easily inserted into the coupling groove (507) and formed so that the thickness gradually decreases toward the end so that when inserted into the coupling groove (507), they are fixed in close contact with the coupling protrusions (505) formed on both sides of the coupling groove (507).

[0089] And, the discharge part (515) is formed with two or more discharge wings (209) spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction at a certain interval to form a settling groove (205) for receiving herbal medicine.

[0090] At this time, the plurality of discharge wings (209) are formed with an inclined surface (601) inclined at a certain angle at the end of the surface where the herbal medicine is settled so that the herbal medicine is released from a preset position when rotated.

[0091] In this way, by forming an inclined surface (601) inclined at a certain angle on one side of the discharge wing (209) on which the herbal medicine is settled, the amount of herbal medicine discharged can be efficiently controlled by discharging a preset unit quantity of herbal medicine when the quantitative discharge member (203) rotates at a preset angle.

[0092] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 6, an example of the structure of the discharge unit (515) of the present invention will be described. The discharge unit (515) may be formed with four discharge wings (209) spaced apart at regular intervals, and four settling grooves (205) spaced apart at regular intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0093] At this time, the angle (A1) formed by the adjacent plurality of discharge wings (209) may be 90°, and an inclined surface (601) may be formed on each discharge wing (209).

[0094] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 7, another example of the structure of the discharge unit (515) of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 7(a), the discharge unit (515) may have five discharge wings (209) formed at regular intervals to form five settling grooves (205).

[0095] At this time, the angle (A2) formed by the adjacent plurality of discharge wings (209) may be 72°.

[0096] In contrast, the discharge portion (515) may have six discharge wings (209) formed at regular intervals, as shown in Fig. 7(b), to form six settling grooves (205).

[0097] At this time, the angle (A3) formed by the adjacent plurality of discharge wings (209) may be 60°.

[0098] Here, the plurality of discharge wings (209) are inclined at a certain angle at the end of the surface where the herbal medicine is settled, so that the herbal medicine is released from a preset position when rotated as described above, and are inclined at a certain angle (601).

[0099] To explain the structure of this quantitative discharge member (203) in more detail, the quantitative discharge member (203) includes a first discharge part (515a) having two or more first discharge wings (209a) formed on the outside for discharging herbal medicines by classifying them into a preset unit quantity, and a second discharge part (515b) extending in the longitudinal direction from the first discharge part (515a) and having two or more second discharge wings (209b) formed for discharging herbal medicines by classifying them into a preset unit quantity.

[0100] That is, the discharge unit (515) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a first discharge unit (515a) and a second discharge unit (515b).

[0101] First, the first discharge portion (515a) is formed by forming two or more first discharge wings (209a) spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction at a certain interval to form a first settling groove (205a) for receiving herbal medicine.

[0102] Here, two or more first discharge wings (209a) may be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction. In one embodiment of the present invention, four first discharge wings (209a) may be formed spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction.

[0103] At this time, the angle (A1) formed by the adjacent plurality of first discharge wings (209a) may be 90°.

[0104] Additionally, a plurality of first discharge wings (209a) have a first inclined surface (601a) formed at the end.

[0105] That is, the first discharge wing (209a) has a first inclined surface (601a) formed on one end of the side where the herbal medicine is settled, so that the herbal medicine is not unintentionally separated from the first settling groove (205a).

[0106] Next, the second discharge portion (515b) is formed with two or more first discharge wings (209b) spaced at a certain interval in the circumferential direction to form a second settling groove (205b) for receiving herbal medicine.

[0107] In one embodiment of the present invention, four second discharge wings (209b) can be formed spaced apart at a certain interval in the circumferential direction.

[0108] Of course, a second inclined surface (601b) may also be formed at the end of the surface where the herbal medicine is settled on the plurality of second discharge wings (209b).

[0109] Meanwhile, the quantitative discharge member (203) is characterized in that the first discharge wing (209a) and the second discharge wing (209b) are arranged at a certain interval in the circumferential direction so that the first discharge unit (515a) and the second discharge unit (515b) alternately discharge the herbal medicine.

[0110] In this way, since a plurality of first discharge wings (209a) and a plurality of second discharge wings (209b) are spaced apart from each other at a certain interval in the circumferential direction, the first discharge part (515a) and the second discharge part (515b) can discharge the herbal medicine alternately, thereby increasing discharge efficiency.

[0111] Meanwhile, a quantitative discharge member (203) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a first partition wall (517) that protrudes radially from an end of a first discharge portion (515a) to shield a first settling groove (205a) in a longitudinal direction; a second partition wall (519) that protrudes radially between the first discharge portion (515a) and the second discharge portion (515b) to axially partition the first discharge portion (515a) and the second discharge portion (515b); and a third partition wall (521) that protrudes radially from an end of the second discharge portion (515b) to shield a second settling groove (205b) in a longitudinal direction.

[0112] In this way, according to one embodiment of the present invention in which the first partition wall (517) to the third partition wall (519) are formed, the phenomenon of the herbal medicine being separated from the first settling groove (205a) or the second settling groove (205b) can be prevented, and the phenomenon of the herbal medicine in the first settling groove (205a) and the second settling groove (205b) being mixed when the herbal medicine is discharged can be prevented.

[0113] Meanwhile, FIGS. 8 and 9 are drawings showing a herbal medicine discharge system (20) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0114] A herbal medicine discharge system (20) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a herbal medicine discharge cartridge module (10), and is characterized in that at least two herbal medicine discharge cartridge modules (10) are provided, and a plurality of herbal medicine discharge cartridge modules (10) are arranged vertically.

[0115] And, the herbal medicine discharge system (20) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a discharge path (801) through which a plurality of herbal medicines discharged from discharge ports (301) of a plurality of herbal medicine discharge cartridge modules (10) are introduced.

[0116] In addition, the herbal medicine discharge system (20) is disposed on the lower side of the discharge path (801), and further includes a stirring module (803) that is connected to the discharge path (801) and stirs a plurality of herbal medicines discharged through the discharge path (801).

[0117] That is, in the herbal medicine discharge system (20) according to one embodiment of the present invention, at least two or more herbal medicine discharge cartridge modules (10) are arranged vertically.

[0118] At this time, each of the multiple herbal medicine discharge cartridge modules (10) may contain different types of herbal medicines or may contain the same type of herbal medicines.

[0119] Here, the cartridge module (10) for discharging herbal medicine has been described above, so a duplicate description is omitted.

[0120] Next, the discharge path (801) receives herbal medicines discharged from multiple herbal medicine discharge cartridge modules (10).

[0121] That is, the discharge path (801) is connected to each discharge port (301) of a plurality of herbal medicine discharge cartridge modules (10), and herbal medicine discharged from the plurality of discharge ports (301) flows in.

[0122] At this time, the herbal medicine introduced into the discharge path (801) is moved to the stirring module (803) and stirred.

[0123] Meanwhile, the herbal medicine discharging system (20) according to one embodiment of the present invention further includes a sensing module (901) that detects the rotation of the quantitative discharging member (203) and generates sensing information (S1) when the quantitative discharging member (203) does not rotate during quantitative discharging of the herbal medicine; and a control module (903) that controls the driving means (202) to rotate the quantitative discharging member (203) in the opposite direction a preset number of times when the sensing information (S1) is applied.

[0124] First, the sensing module (901) detects the rotation of the quantitative dispensing member (203).

[0125] That is, the sensing module (901) can be placed on the outside of the quantitative dispensing member (203) so as to detect the rotation of the quantitative dispensing member (203).

[0126] This sensing module (901) generates sensing information (S1) when the quantitative dispensing member (203) does not rotate when dispensing the quantitative herbal medicine.

[0127] That is, when the quantitative dispensing member (203) cannot be rotated for various reasons when input information (I1) for dispensing herbal medicine is input by the input module (905), the sensing module (203) generates sensing information (S1) and transmits it to the control module (903).

[0128] For example, when the quantitative dispensing member (203) cannot rotate due to the dispensing blade (209) being caught by a number of herbal medicines, the sensing module (901) generates sensing information (S1) and transmits it to the control module (903).

[0129] In addition, after the dispensing of the herbal medicine is completed, the sensing module (901) senses the quantitative dispensing member (203) and, if the dispensing wing (209) deviates from the preset position, generates a misalignment signal (S2) and transmits it to the control module (903).

[0130] That is, when the discharge wing (209) deviates from the preset position after the discharge of the herbal medicine is completed and the preset unit quantity of the herbal medicine cannot be settled in the settling groove (205), the sensing module (901) generates a misalignment signal (S2) and transmits it to the control module (903).

[0131] Next, when sensing information (S1) is applied, the control module (903) controls the driving means (202) through a control signal (S3) to rotate the quantitative dispensing member (203) in the opposite direction a preset number of times.

[0132] That is, when sensing information (S1) is applied, the control module (903) determines that the quantitative dispensing member (203) is caught by the herbal medicine and cannot rotate, and controls the driving motor (501) through the control signal (S3) to rotate the quantitative dispensing member (203) in the opposite direction a preset number of times.

[0133] Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, even when the herbal medicine of the ring type and the discharge wing (209) are caught and the quantitative discharge member (203) cannot rotate, the herbal medicine can be discharged by releasing the catch between the discharge wing (209) and the herbal medicine without any separate measures.

[0134] In addition, when a misalignment signal (S2) is applied from the sensing module (901), the control module (903) can control the driving motor (501) to rotate through a position control signal (S4) so ​​that the discharge blade (209) is positioned at a preset position.

[0135] That is, when the misalignment signal (S2) is applied, the control module (903) can control the quantitative discharge member (203) by rotating the drive motor (501) so that one of the plurality of mounting grooves (205) faces the discharge port (301) so that a preset unit quantity of herbal medicine is accommodated in the mounting groove (205).
