Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of subpackaging, and in particular to a material subpackaging and recycling method for an intelligent subpackaging device and an intelligent subpackaging device. Background Art
[0002] The blanking device of the existing filling device usually realizes the feeding of tablets one by one through a mechanical structure, but there are still many problems that need to be solved in actual application. Some existing technologies adopt a wheeled structure design to realize the feeding of tablets one by one through the blanking trough on the wheel. However, this type of design still faces challenges in actual use. For example, the silo in the existing filler needs to be installed in a fixed installation slot, so that the type of silo needs to be manually identified and installed one by one during the installation process, which reduces the installation efficiency. At the same time, when the material is recovered after the filling is completed, on the one hand, the remaining material needs to be measured, and on the other hand, the type of material needs to be carefully identified to match it to the material bottle. In this process, it is easy to have problems such as recycling errors caused by identification errors. Especially in the field of pharmaceutical packaging, some medicines are similar in appearance and are more likely to be confused. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] Example 1 Combine Figures 1 to 15 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent dispenser, including a shell 1 and a mounting body 2 arranged in the shell 1, and also including: a silo mechanism 4, a collecting mechanism and a turntable mechanism 11; wherein, a plurality of mounting slots 201 are provided on the mounting body 2, the silo mechanism 4 includes a plurality of silos 401 suitable for being installed in the mounting slots 201, and a blanking and packaging assembly is provided at the bottom of the mounting slot 201 for transferring the material in the silo 401 to the collecting mechanism; the collecting mechanism is arranged below the silo mechanism 4 for gathering materials falling from a plurality of silos 401; the turntable mechanism 11 includes a turntable assembly and a plurality of packaging boxes 1104 arranged around the circumference on the turntable assembly, and the packaging boxes 1104 are configured to be able to move one by one to the bottom of the blanking port of the collecting mechanism to receive materials under the drive of the turntable assembly.
[0017] It should be noted that the packing device of this embodiment can be used for packing various granular materials, such as pharmaceutical tablets, health care granules, or other granular products. This embodiment is described by taking the packing of pharmaceutical tablets as an example, but is not limited to the field of pharmaceutical packing.
[0018] Combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the shell 1 includes an upper opening and a side opening arranged on the side, the mounting body 2 is arranged in the shell 1, and a plurality of mounting grooves 201 are formed on the mounting body 2. For example, the mounting grooves 201 can be arranged in an array.
[0019] Combine Figures 4 to 9As shown, specifically, a material drop opening is formed at the bottom of the silo 401, and a drop wheel 402 is provided at the drop opening. The drop wheel 402 is connected to a transmission module 403 to drive its rotation. The drop wheel 402 is provided with at least one trough 4021 for receiving the material in the silo 401, and is suitable for switching the position of the trough 4021 by rotation to transport the material to the unloading position. The outer contour of the drop wheel 402 is formed with a raised structure 4022, and the raised structure 4022 is configured to stir the material in the drop opening when the drop wheel 402 rotates, thereby changing the accumulation state of the material at the drop opening. The trough 4021 refers to a concave structure provided on the circumferential surface of the drop wheel 402, which is used to temporarily accommodate a single material. Specifically, it can be implemented as an arc-shaped groove or a rectangular cavity, and its depth is slightly greater than the thickness of the material to ensure stable reception. Protrusion 4022 is a disruptive element protruding from the surface of blanking wheel 402. Specifically, it can be implemented as a parabolic curved protrusion, high enough to penetrate into hopper 401 to create a stirring effect. Transmission module 403 is the power device that drives blanking wheel 402. Specifically, it can be implemented as a stepper motor in conjunction with reduction gear set 4032, enabling precise control of rotation angle and speed.
[0020] Material within silo 401 gathers toward the discharge port under the influence of gravity. The discharge wheel 402, driven by the transmission module 403, rotates intermittently. When the chute 4021 rotates to directly below the discharge port, it receives the material and continues to rotate, carrying it away from silo 401. During this process, the raised structure 4022 rotates with the wheel, continuously shifting the material layer, disrupting the original stacking pattern and causing the material to rearrange and facilitate subsequent entry into the chute 4021. The transmission module 403 controls the discharge wheel 402 to rotate at a specific speed, ensuring that the material is accurately discharged when the chute 4021 reaches the discharge position. The synergistic effect of the raised structure 4022 and the chute 4021 allows the material to be transported while continuously improving the stacking state, thus resolving the problem of material jams caused by static accumulation. This effectively prevents the material from forming a stable accumulation at the discharge port, significantly reducing the probability of material jams. The agitation of the material rapidly feeds into the chute 4021, minimizing idling and improving discharge efficiency.
[0021] Combine Figures 8 and 9 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the troughs 4021 are disposed on the circumferential contour of the blanking wheel 402, with three troughs 4021 formed on the circumferential contour. Specifically, the troughs 4021 are arranged at equal angles, so that the three troughs 4021 sequentially reach the material discharge position during rotation. During this process, the alternating operation of the three troughs 4021 reduces the frequency of repeated material loading by a single trough 4021, while maintaining the consistency of material delivery through continuous rotation. This significantly shortens the reset time of the troughs 4021 and reduces the probability of idling due to uneven material distribution.
[0022] Continue to combine Figures 8 and 9 As shown, a transition section is formed between adjacent troughs 4021 on the blanking wheel 402. A gear tooth structure 4023 is formed on the transition section. A protruding structure 4022 protrudes from one side of the gear tooth structure 4023, with one protruding structure 4022 located on the opposite side of the gear tooth structure 4023. The transition section refers to the intermediate region connecting adjacent troughs 4021. The gear tooth structure 4023 refers to the protruding units arranged on the surface of the transition section. Specifically, they can be implemented with a trapezoidal or triangular cross-section. The gaps between the teeth create a stirring effect on the material. The protruding structure 4022 refers to a protrusion located on one side of the gear tooth structure 4023. Specifically, it can be implemented with a parabolic structure. This disturbs the material in the silo 401 when the blanking wheel 402 rotates. When the blanking wheel 402 rotates intermittently, the protruding structures 4022 on either side of the gear tooth structure 4023 alternately enter the bottom area of the silo 401. During rotation, the gear structure 4023 exerts a lateral shift on the accumulated material, while the raised structures 4022 exert a longitudinal pushing force on the material. This bidirectional disturbance creates a dynamic arrangement of tablets at the discharge port, prompting the material to quickly adjust its posture before entering the chute 4021. When the chute 4021 rotates to the discharge position, the adjusted tablets can be smoothly released from the chute 4021 for packaging, avoiding idling caused by material jamming. Compared to the prior art, in which the transition region is typically designed with a smooth surface and thus fails to effectively disturb the material, this solution employs gears with bidirectional raised structures 4022 in the transition region to create a composite disturbance, ensuring that the material remains in a dynamic adjustment state during the discharge process. This effectively solves the problem of material jamming caused by poor stacking during the switching process of the chute 4021. The bidirectional disturbance accelerates the speed at which the material enters the chute 4021, reduces idling caused by material not being discharged in time, and improves the continuity and stability of the packaging operation.
[0023] In one embodiment, the troughs 4021 are staggered on the left and right sides of the circumferential contour of the blanking wheel 402 so as to change the material stacking state in the silo 401 when blanking. The staggered distribution on the left and right sides refers to the arrangement of the troughs 4021 in an asymmetrical manner on the circumferential surface of the blanking wheel 402. Through this layout, the troughs 4021 can contact the material at different positions during the rotation process, thereby breaking the symmetrical stacking state of the material near the blanking port. Changing the material stacking state means applying non-uniform disturbance to the material through the staggered distribution of the troughs 4021, which can be achieved specifically through the position difference when the edge of the trough 4021 contacts the material. This design can disperse the concentrated area of the material and reduce the possibility of local jamming. When the blanking wheel 402 rotates, the staggered troughs 4021 pass through the blanking port area in sequence. Because adjacent troughs 4021 are offset, materials from different locations fall into troughs 4021 simultaneously, dynamically adjusting the material accumulation pattern within silo 401. This prevents material from falling in one area and causing long-term accumulation in other areas, thus preventing the formation of a stable localized accumulation structure. In this process, the material flow path is periodically altered, reducing the risk of material jams caused by localized accumulation.
[0024] The staggered distribution design allows the material to be disturbed in different directions during each drop, effectively disrupting the regularity of accumulation. This prevents the material from forming a stable accumulation layer near the drop opening and reduces the stagnation caused by a single material arrangement direction.
[0025] Combine Figure 9 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, one side of the trough 4021 extends through the edge of the blanking wheel 402 to reduce resistance to material falling. This "one side of the trough 4021 extending through the edge of the blanking wheel 402" means that the sidewall of the trough 4021 forms an open structure near the edge of the wheel. This can be achieved by extending the sidewall of the trough 4021 to one side of the wheel. This structure allows material to only overcome frictional resistance on one side when leaving the trough 4021, avoiding the retention phenomenon caused by simultaneous contact between both sides of the traditional closed trough 4021. The open sidewall design can reduce mechanical resistance to material falling. Alternatively, this can be achieved by optimizing the inclination angle and surface finish of the sidewall of the trough 4021, for example by forming the sidewall into an outward-sloping slope to guide the material's natural descent. The single-sided open design effectively reduces the contact area, allowing material to fall only by overcoming friction on one side, significantly improving the reliability of the packaging process. This effectively solves the problem of material retention in the closed trough 4021 due to friction on the side walls, ensuring that materials of different sizes and shapes can smoothly exit the trough 4021.
[0026] Combine Figure 7 and Figure 10As shown, in one embodiment, an elastic baffle 404 is further provided on one side of the blanking port. The elastic baffle 404 is arranged at the front end position in the rotation direction of the blanking port. It is configured to adjust the spacing with the blanking wheel 402 so that the blanking wheel 402 can be compatible with materials of multiple sizes, and to ensure that only one material can fall into the material port without being stuck. The elastic baffle 404 adapts to the passing gap of materials of different sizes through its own deformation ability. Adjusting the spacing refers to changing the spacing distance between the elastic baffle 404 and the blanking wheel 402. Specifically, it can be achieved by using a screw fine-tuning mechanism or a slide rail positioning device, or by changing the angle of the baffle. By adjusting the spacing, the thickness requirements of different material sizes can be matched. The front end position refers to the side area that first contacts the material in the rotation trajectory of the blanking wheel 402. Specifically, it can be set in the tangent direction of the arc surface before the material trough 4021 enters the discharge position, and the blocking effect is achieved by contacting the material in advance. Compatibility with a wide range of materials means accommodating tablets with varying diameters without replacing components. This is achieved by adjusting the deformation and spacing of the elastic baffles 404, allowing the same device to process materials of various sizes. This is achieved by forming a single-particle holding space between the elastic baffles 404 and the edge of the chute 4021, preventing multiple particles from entering the discharge channel simultaneously.
[0027] Specifically, the elastic baffle 404 is mounted at the front end of the blanking wheel 402's rotational direction. When the blanking wheel 402, carrying the trough 4021, rotates to the discharge position, the elastic baffle 404 and the edge of the trough 4021 form a guide channel. By adjusting the mounting slot 201 of the elastic baffle 404, the width of this guide channel can be varied. For example, when handling larger materials, the distance between the elastic baffle 404 and the blanking wheel 402 can be increased, while when handling smaller materials, the distance can be decreased. Made of a resilient material, the elastic baffle 404 allows for moderate deformation as the material passes through. This prevents excess material from entering the trough 4021 and prevents material breakage caused by hard collisions. When the trough 4021, carrying the material, rotates to the discharge position, the elastic baffle 404 cooperates with the sidewalls of the trough 4021 to form a gap that allows only a single particle of material to pass through. Excess material is blocked by the elastic baffle 404 and falls back into the hopper 401. Furthermore, the working surface of the elastic baffle 404 can be designed as an arc-shaped surface, maintaining a parallel gap with the outer contour of the blanking wheel 402 to ensure that the material is evenly stressed when in contact.
[0028] The combination of elastic baffles 404 and adjustable spacing enables dynamic adaptation to varying material sizes, while leveraging their elastic deformation properties to avoid material jams caused by hard collisions. Conventional rigid baffles in the prior art can easily experience excessive gaps when material size changes, leading to multiple particles falling simultaneously, or excessive gaps, causing material jams. This solution effectively resolves this conflict through the dual design of elastic contact and adjustable spacing. This embodiment allows for adaptability to material dropouts of varying sizes without replacing components, significantly improving the versatility and adaptability of the device. Furthermore, the elastic contact minimizes rigid collisions between the material and the baffle, protecting material integrity while reducing the risk of secondary jams caused by the accumulation of collision debris, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device's operation. Furthermore, depending on the placement of material within trough 4021, tablets may rise above the trough 4021. The elastic baffles 404 can accommodate pharmaceutical tablets in varying placements.
[0029] The transmission module 403 described in this embodiment includes a servo motor 4031 and a reduction gear set 4032. The reduction gear set 4032 is connected to the blanking wheel 402. The servo motor 4031 is suitable for achieving intermittent frequency forward and reverse rotation to achieve a vibration effect.
[0030] In this embodiment, each of the silos 401 can be adapted to fit in any mounting slot 201. For easy distinction, each silo 401 can be marked or distinguished for different types of medicines. A detection medium body 406 is provided on each silo 401, and the detection medium body 406 on each silo 401 is different from each other; a detection device 405 connected to the control system is provided in each mounting slot 201, and the detection device 405 is suitable for detecting and identifying the detection medium body 406 to detect the mounting slot 201 in which each silo 401 is located. Specifically, the detection device 405 can be a plurality of infrared sensors provided inside the mounting slot 201, and the detection medium body 406 includes one or more cylindrical protrusions provided at the bottom of the silo 401. The infrared sensor is suitable for identifying different types of silos 401 by detecting and identifying the different positions and / or numbers of the cylindrical protrusions. For example, in this embodiment, taking the example of six silos 401, the infrared sensors include three infrared sensors arranged in a straight line, and the silos 401 are provided with six, three of which are provided with one cylindrical protrusion, and each silo 401 corresponds to the position of one of the infrared sensors, while the other three silos 401 are provided with two cylindrical protrusions, corresponding to two of the infrared sensors. Through this arrangement, the infrared sensor can accurately determine the installation slot 201 where the corresponding silo 401 is located based on the position or number of the cylindrical protrusions it identifies, and upload the position information to the control system for storage through the infrared sensor. When refilling is needed, a prompt can be given based on the type of pharmaceutical tablets originally placed in each type of silo 401 or the type of pharmaceutical tablets adapted to facilitate the user to place the pharmaceutical tablets into the corresponding silo 401. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the detection device 405 and the detection medium body 406 can also be other structures, such as using a Hall element for matching and identification.
[0031] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 15As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting body 2 is also equipped with a barcode scanner 6 and a prompting device connected to the control system. The barcode scanner 6 is used to scan and identify the QR code of the material bottle, and the prompting device is used to indicate the installation slot 201 where the corresponding type of silo 401 is located. The prompting device includes a warning light 202 located on the side of each installation slot 201 and a voice prompter 5 located on the mounting body 2 and connected to the control system. The barcode scanner 6 is located on the inner wall of the top side of the side opening. During material discharge, different silos 401 are randomly placed into the installation slot 201. The bottom cylinder of the silo 401 presses the corresponding detection device 405. After the detection device 405 completes the detection, the system identifies the type of tablet corresponding to the silo 401 based on the preset type information corresponding to the detection medium 406 and stores it in memory. The indicator light of the corresponding silo 401 lights up, and the voice prompter 5 announces the number of the corresponding silo 401, guiding the user to pour the tablets into the corresponding silo 401. With this structure, the hopper 401 can be randomly placed in the mounting slot 201, without having to be placed in a specific location. The user can scan the code to identify the type of pharmaceutical tablets, and use light indication and voice prompts to accurately place the tablets in the corresponding hopper 401, reducing the possibility of misplacement. The warning light 202 here can be set on one side of the mounting slot 201, and the warning light 202 can be configured in different numbered shapes, such as alphabetical numbers or numerical numbers.
[0032] It should be noted that the control system is a control module integrated in the mounting body 2, which is connected to an operation display screen 13, which is convenient for the user to operate the dispenser mounting body 2, such as selecting a corresponding formula, adding and storing drug information, etc. The control module is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. The operation display screen 13 can use an existing touch screen for user convenience. The control system can be used to set the quantity of drug tablets dropped from each silo 401 during each dispensing, and can also display the remaining quantity of the drug in each silo 401, so as to remind the user to replenish the material in time when the material is insufficient.
[0033] Combine Figures 11 to 13As shown, in this embodiment, the collecting funnel 7 includes a collecting chamber 701 and a dropping channel 702, wherein the collecting chamber 701 is suitable for being placed below the hopper mechanism 4 to simultaneously receive the tablet materials falling from the hopper mechanism 4, and can collect all the tablet materials to the dropping channel 702 for discharge; the dropping channel 702 is connected below to receive the collected tablet materials. Here, the collecting chamber 701 is formed with an inclined surface converging toward the dropping channel 702 to form a funnel shape at the dropping channel 702, thereby facilitating the automatic collection of tablet materials to the dropping channel 702. Through the collecting function of the collecting chamber 701, the tablet materials falling from each hopper 401 fall directly into the collecting chamber 701 and converge to the dropping channel 702 for discharge under the action of gravity. It should be noted that the shape of the collecting funnel 7 can be set according to the arrangement structure of the silo mechanism 4. For example, in the present embodiment, the silo mechanism 4 includes a plurality of silos 401 arranged vertically and horizontally, so that the silos 401 form a square structural arrangement. The collecting cavity 701 of the collecting funnel 7 can be set as a rectangular cavity that can be received under the silo mechanism 4; when the silo mechanism 4 adopts a circular distribution, the collecting cavity 701 can also form a circular cavity. In addition, a counting sensor 8 is provided at the discharge port of each silo 401 to detect the amount of material dropped from each silo 401, so as to further confirm whether the amount of material dropped is accurate, and calculate the total discharge amount to determine whether there is still material in the silo 401. The counting sensor 8 provided here can be used to measure the discharge amount. On the one hand, it can be used to determine whether there is any remaining material in the silo, and on the other hand, it can be used to verify whether the corresponding amount of material is accurately dropped each time.
[0034] Preferably, a pull-out groove 703 suitable for user action is provided at the front end of the collecting funnel 7, so that the user can easily disassemble and install the collecting funnel 7. The collecting funnel 7 can be installed on the mounting body 2 from the side opening of the housing 1, and a limit switch 9 is provided at the rear end of the collecting funnel 7 to detect whether the collecting funnel 7 is installed to the preset position. The limit switch 9 can be provided on the housing 1. Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the turntable mechanism 11 includes a turntable assembly arranged below the collecting funnel 7 and a plurality of packaging boxes 1104 arranged on the turntable assembly. The turntable assembly includes an electric turntable 1101, on which a plurality of packaging boxes 1104 are distributed around the circumference. The electric turntable 1101 is used to rotate the packaging boxes 1104 one by one to the bottom of the blanking channel 702 to receive the material. The electric turntable 1101 is provided with a circular rotating wheel, and the outer circumference of the circular rotating wheel is formed with gear teeth. The gear teeth are connected to the rotating motor 1102 through the gear 1103 structure, and the circular rotating wheel is driven to rotate by the rotating motor 1102 to rotate the packaging boxes 1104 one by one to the bottom of the blanking channel 702 to receive the material. By coordinating the electric turntable 1101 with the collecting funnel 7 structure, the movement path of the packaging boxes 1104 is simple and precise, and the stroke is short. They only need to be moved to the bottom of the blanking channel 702, thereby improving the packaging efficiency. In a preferred embodiment, an infrared sensor 10 is provided below the material drop channel 702 to detect whether the packaging box 1104 has moved below the material drop channel 702. The provision of the infrared sensor 10 ensures that the packaging box 1104 below the material drop channel 702 is moved into position during material drop, preventing tablets from falling outside the packaging box 1104.
[0035] Combine Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a pull-out assembly is further provided on the housing 1, and a chassis is provided on the base 3. The pull-out assembly is provided as an L-shaped structure, and a carrying plate 1201 is provided at the bottom of the L-shaped structure for carrying the turntable mechanism 11. The vertical portion of the L-shaped structure matches the side opening of the housing 1. When performing subpackaging, the L-shaped structure can be pushed into the side opening as a whole and the side opening can be closed. After the subpackaging is completed, the L-shaped structure can be pulled out, and the turntable mechanism 11 can be pulled out as a whole, so that the subpackaging box 1104 placed on the electric turntable 1101 can be easily removed. Here, the carrying plate 1201 and the chassis are connected by a slide rail mechanism.
[0036] It should be noted that the rotating motor 1102 is arranged inside the housing 1, and the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 1102 is provided with the gear 1103. When the L-shaped structure is pushed into the housing 1, the gear teeth are engaged with the gear 1103, so that the turntable can be driven to rotate by the rotating motor 1102. During the rotation process, the position of the sub-packaging box 1104 is detected by the infrared sensor 10. When it is detected that the sub-packaging box 1104 is rotated into place, the rotation is stopped to carry out blanking. Therefore, the initial contact position of the electric turntable 1101 and the gear 1103 can be random through the infrared sensor 10, and the control system uses the detection result of the infrared sensor 10 to control the start or stop of the rotating motor 1102 to ensure that the sub-packaging box 1104 can stop after being rotated into place.
[0037] In this embodiment, a reversible upper cover 14 is hingedly connected to the shell 1, and a magnetic part is provided on the upper cover 14. A Hall sensor suitable for matching with the magnetic part is provided on the shell 1. The Hall sensor is connected to the control system to control the dispenser to stop working when the Hall sensor detects that the upper cover 14 is open. Here, the upper cover 14 is used to cover the upper opening of the shell 1 and shield the opening of the silo 401. When the Hall sensor cannot detect the magnetic part, it feeds back to the control system, and the control system determines that the upper cover 14 is opened. At this time, the control system controls the entire dispenser to stop working to prevent the safety risk caused by the continued rotation of the motor.
[0038] Example 2 The dispensing device comprises the following steps during dispensing: Install the silo, randomly install the silo 401 in the installation slot 201, and the detection device 405 automatically identifies the location of each silo 401 in the installation slot 201 according to the different detection medium bodies 406 on each silo 401, and uploads and stores it to the control system; Place the material, move the QR code on the material bottle to the scanner 6 for identification, and the control system prompts the location of the corresponding silo 401 of the material according to the material type, and puts the preset amount of material into the corresponding silo 401 according to the prompt; The control system controls the material drop filling assembly to drop materials from each silo 401 one by one for filling according to the preset filling quantity, and the counting sensor 8 measures the amount of materials dropped from the silo 401; To recycle materials, the control system calculates the difference between the amount of materials placed in each silo 401 and the measured amount of the counting sensor 8. When the difference is greater than or equal to 1, the corresponding material is recycled into the original material bottle. During the recycling process, the corresponding material bottle is scanned again, and the control system obtains the material bottle information and identifies the position of the silo 401 where the corresponding material is located, and prompts the device to the position of the corresponding silo 401 to recycle the material in the silo into the material bottle.
[0039] It should be noted that during the process of placing materials and recycling materials, prompts can be given through the prompting device, such as indicating the location of the silo through an indicator light, and prompting the silo number through a voice prompter.
[0040] Through the solution of this embodiment, confusion can be prevented when recycling materials, thereby improving the accuracy of material recycling.
