In addition, the control member 50 is controlled by the control unit 16, and the driving member 48 can be changed. The speed or amount of rotation to adjust the amount of medicine powder from the discharge pipe. Each of the storage tanks 26 can be a conventional Chinese medicine tank. After opening the lid, the storage tanks 26 are directly inserted into the funnel groove 40, respectively. Accept different Chinese herbal powder. Of course, the rotating mechanism 22 can be provided with more layers of turntables to accommodate more storage tanks 26 of different Chinese medicine powder.

The medicinal powder output unit 14 is disposed on one side of the medicinal powder supply unit 12 and includes a medicinal powder assembling box 52 and a conveying pipe 54 which are vertically connected to the medicinal powder assembling box 52 and located on the side of the turntables 30 and 32, and two transmission parts. 56 and 58 are funnel-shaped and are respectively arranged on the bottom sides of the turntables 30 and 32 and communicate with the conveying pipe 54, and two weighing devices 60 and 62 are provided on one side of the conveying pipe 54 and interposed between the transmission members 56, 58 and Between the turntables 30 and 32, each of the turntables 30 and 32 can be rotated to position each discharge device 26 corresponding to the position of the weighing devices 60 and 62. Each of the weighing devices 60 and 62 includes a spoon body 64, A rotating member 66 and a weight sensor 68, each of the spoon bodies 64 are generally spoon-shaped, and extend horizontally above each of the transmission members 56, 58 for receiving the medicine powder dropped by each of the discharging devices 26, The rotating member 66 may be a device such as a motor that can output forward and reverse rotation power. The rotating member 66 is provided on one side of the conveying pipe 54 and is connected to a spoon body 64 to control whether the spoon body 64 rotates. The weight sensor 68 It is arranged on the spoon body 64 for sensing the weight of the medicine powder received by the spoon body 64 and feeding it back to the control unit 16 at any time. When the weight of the Chinese medicinal powder reaches a predetermined value, the rotating member 66 can cause the spoon body 64 to flip, so that the Chinese medicinal powder falls to the transmission members 56, 58 so that the Chinese medicinal powder can fall through each of the transmission members 56, 58 and the conveying pipe 54. The medicinal powder is assembled in the box 52 and taken out for packaging. The medicinal powder assembling box 52 can be provided with a door, and a drawer, which can be taken out and put in, such as a mechanism for taking out the medicinal powder for packaging.

The control unit 16 includes a microcontroller 70 connected with A panel 72, the microcontroller 70 is connected to each of the rotating mechanism 22, the discharging device 26, the weighing device 60, 62 and a medicine management system 74, which is a medicine management software built in a hospital or clinic The microcontroller 70 is capable of accepting the formula and weight instructions transmitted by the medicine management system 74, and urges each of the rotating mechanism 22, the discharging device 24 and the weighing device 60, 62 to operate as required, so that the required formula can be quantified Chinese medicine powder. It is automatically conveyed to the medicine powder assembly box 52 to obtain the effect of quickly formulating the formula of the medicine list. The panel 72 is arranged on the side of the medicine powder assembly box 52 for viewing the information such as the formula and weight instruction.

In this way, the operation mode, features and functions of the Chinese medicine powder automatic adjustment formula system 10 of the present invention are as follows: When the microcontroller 70 accepts the medicine list Chinese medicine powder formula and weight command of the medicine management system 74, it can drive the turntable control box 28. Rotate the two turntables 30 and 32 until the storage tank 26 containing the predetermined Chinese medicine powder and the discharging device 24 stop corresponding to the predetermined weighing devices 60 and 62, and then start the discharge component corresponding to the predetermined Chinese medicine powder storage tank 26. 38 control member 50, then the driving member 48 can cause the pushing member 46 to run, so that the medicine powder in the funnel groove 40 can be moved to the discharge pipe 44 and dropped to the spoon body 64, and the pushing member 46 is pushed out. The action of the traditional Chinese medicine powder is to output the traditional Chinese medicine powder at a faster speed, and the weight sensor 68 will measure the weight of the traditional Chinese medicine powder falling on the spoon 64 in time. When the weight of the traditional Chinese medicine powder is close to the expected value, the micro The controller 70 will instruct the control member 50 to reduce the operating speed of the driving member 48, which can gradually reduce the output of the traditional Chinese medicine powder falling from the discharge pipe 44, so that the final and desired amount of the traditional Chinese medicine powder on the spoon body 64 is controlled to be acceptable. Within the error range, the microcontroller 70 then urges the rotating member 66 to turn over, so that the Chinese medicine powder falls, and falls into the medicine powder assembly box 52 through the transmission members 56, 58 and the conveying pipe 54.

Based on this, the acquisition and weight control of each Chinese medicine powder in the medicine list can be automatically performed in the aforementioned manner. After all the Chinese medicine powder in the medicine list falls into the medicine powder assembly box 52, it can be taken out for subsequent mixing and packaging. The operation can not only save labor, speed up the time for obtaining and dispensing the medicine, and the dose of medicine powder can be more accurate. It can also save the space occupied by the medicine room in the dispensing room of the hospital or clinic, and it will not produce dust during the preparation process. , Very practical value.

In other words, the Chinese medicine powder automatic adjustment formula system of the present invention, through the cooperation of the medicine powder supply unit, the medicine powder output unit and the control unit, can not only use a multi-layered turntable structure to store a plurality of different Chinese medicine powder storage tanks for retrieval, but also It saves the space occupied by various medicine cans in the dispensing room of the hospital or clinic, and can automatically make the predetermined Chinese medicine powder fall from each of the discharge components to the spoon body, and fall into the medicine powder assembly box through each of the transmission parts and delivery pipes. It must use labor, which not only saves labor and can speed up the time of medicine acquisition and preparation, but also does not generate dust during the preparation process. The weight sensor can be used to measure the weight of the Chinese medicine powder on the spoon at any time and give back. The dose of Chinese medicine powder obtained is more accurate, which is very suitable for medical hospitals.

It can be known from the above that the present invention can further provide a method for preparing traditional Chinese medicine powder, in which a plurality of storage tanks 28 containing different traditional Chinese medicine powders are inverted in advance on a plurality of discharge devices 26, and each of the discharge devices 26 is arranged to be controlled to rotate Complex A plurality of turntables 30 and 32 can be moved to one side of the medicine powder output unit 14 by the rotation of each of the turntables 30 and 32, so that according to the formula required by the medicine list, the reservation containing the required Chinese medicine powder can be made. The discharging device 26 moves to the side of the medicinal powder output unit 14 to quantitatively discharge the medicinal powder stored in the storage tank 28, and then uses the medicinal powder output unit 14 to collect different medicinal powders, thereby achieving the effect of quickly formulating the formula of the medicine list.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art, including ordinary knowledge, may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the appended patent application.
