[0033] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0034] Depend on Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a pill screening device for sorting soft capsules comprises: a shell mechanism 2, a pill screening mechanism 1, and a driving mechanism 3. Among them, the pill screening mechanism 1 comprises a roller 11 rotatably arranged in the shell mechanism 2 and having a first cavity 17 built therein, and a connecting member 15 arranged in the first cavity 17. The roller 11 has a first cavity 17, a plurality of sieve holes 16 located on the side wall of the roller 11 and used to connect the first cavity 17 and the outside of the roller 11, and a feed port 12 and a discharge port 14 respectively located at both ends of the roller 11. A first channel 18 for connecting the side wall of the roller 11 and the discharge port 14 is formed between the connecting member 15 and the end surface of the roller 11, and a plurality of sieve holes are also provided on the connecting member 15 to connect the first channel 18 and the first cavity 17. The driving mechanism 3 is used to drive the pill screening mechanism 1 to rotate. Specifically, the roller 11 and the first cavity 17 are roughly cylindrical geometric bodies, which can effectively reduce the shaking during the rotation process. The feed port 12 and the discharge port 14 are circular openings located at the center of the two end surfaces of the drum 11, respectively, and connected to the first cavity 17. The sieve hole 16 is a waist-shaped hole, which can greatly improve the passing efficiency of the capsule. Large and small capsules can enter the first cavity 17 together from the feed port 12. After entering the first cavity 17, since the outer dimensions of the small capsule are smaller than the sieve hole 16, it can pass through the sieve hole 16 from the first cavity 17 and fall under the drum 11. At the same time, the driving mechanism 3 can drive the drum 11 to rotate so that the large capsule enters the first channel 18 from the bottom of the first cavity 17 and is discharged from the discharge port 14. In other embodiments, the drum 11 can be a regular polygonal stretched geometric body, and the feed port 12 and the discharge port 14 can also be openings of any other shape. The sieve hole 16 can be a circular hole.

[0035] Depend on Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting member 15 is a truncated cone-shaped plate-shaped geometric body, the feed end of which is connected to the arc surface of the first cavity 17, and the discharge end is connected to the edge of the discharge port 14. The connecting member 15 is also provided with a plurality of sieve holes for secondary screening of the pellets, which can well improve the accuracy of the screening of the pellets. Figure 6 As shown, there is a second angle β between the cross section of the connecting member 15 and the end surface of the drum 11, and a first channel 18 is defined between them. The first channel 18 is curved in an arc shape to increase the length, lengthen the moving distance of the capsule in the first channel 18, and the capsule can pass through more sieve holes 16 during the movement, which well ensures the accuracy of the secondary screening. The second angle β is 70 degrees to 40 degrees, preferably 25 degrees. During the rotation of the drum 11, when the feed end of the connecting member 15 is at the lowest point, the capsule in the first cavity 17 can enter the first channel 18. As the drum 11 rotates, the feed end gradually rises, and the capsule entering the first channel 18 gradually moves along the first channel 18 to the discharge port 14. In this process, small capsules will fall from the sieve hole 1 of the connecting member 15 to the first cavity 17, and then fall from the sieve hole 16 on the side wall of the drum 11 to the bottom of the drum 11, and large capsules will be discharged from the discharge port 14. A pill screening mechanism 1 can perform two screenings, which greatly improves the accuracy of screening and has good practical significance. In other embodiments, the cross section of the connecting member 15 may be arc-shaped and vertically connected to the end face of the drum 11. The cross section of the arc-shaped connecting member 15 can increase the diameter of the first channel 18, so that the number of capsules entering the first channel 18 each time increases, which can effectively improve the efficiency of screening pills. Of course, the cross section of the connecting member 15 can also be other shapes, as long as the connecting member 15 can define the first channel 18 between the end face of the drum 11, it also falls within the protection scope of the present invention. It can be understood that the connecting member 15 can also be a tubular geometric body, which has a first channel 18 for connecting the first cavity 17 and the discharge port 14, which also falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] Depend on Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the pill screening mechanism 1 also includes a conduit 13 configured at the discharge port 14 and extending outward; the pill screening device includes at least two pill screening mechanisms 1, and at least two pill screening mechanisms 1 are arranged in sequence so that the conduit 13 of the previous pill screening mechanism 1 extends into the feed port 12 of the next pill screening mechanism 1; the sieve holes 16 of the at least two pill screening mechanisms 1 arranged in sequence increase in sequence to screen out capsules from small to large. Specifically, the inner diameter of the conduit 13 gradually increases from the discharge port 14 outward so that the capsules can be discharged smoothly from the conduit 13. The pill screening mechanisms 1 are arranged in sequence, and the first pill screening mechanism 1 is connected to the capsule conveying device, so that the capsules of large and small particles can continuously enter the first cavity 17 of the first pill screening mechanism 1 for screening. The conduit 13 of the first pill screening mechanism 1 is extended into the feed port 12 of the second pill screening mechanism 1, and the large capsules screened by the first pill screening mechanism 1 can enter the second pill screening mechanism 1 for screening again, which can greatly improve the accuracy of the pill screening, and multiple pill screening mechanisms 1 can be connected in sequence. By increasing the mesh 16 of the pill screening mechanisms 1 connected in sequence, capsules of different sizes and specifications can be screened out. Figure 1 As shown, it is an axonometric view of a pill screening device connected with two pill screening mechanisms 1, which can accurately screen out small capsules, standard capsules and large capsules of three sizes from mixed capsules, and has great practical significance.

[0037] Depend on Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the shell mechanism 2 includes a plurality of collecting hoppers 6 respectively located below the pill screening mechanism 1, and the collecting hoppers 6 have a second channel 5 for the capsules to slide out; the shell mechanism 2 also includes a second baffle 4 for blocking the second channel 5. Specifically, the collecting hopper 6 is located below the drum 11, and is used to receive the capsules that pass through the sieve holes 16, and after the capsules fall into the collecting hopper 6, they can slide out of the second channel 5 and flow into the collecting bucket outside the device, so that the screened capsules can be well collected. And in order to facilitate the replacement of the collecting bucket, the shell mechanism 2 also includes a second baffle 4. When replacing the collecting bucket, the second baffle 4 can be used to block the second channel 5, and the screened capsules can be temporarily accommodated in the collecting hopper 6 and the second channel 5, which greatly facilitates the user experience and has a good practical significance.

[0038] Depend on Figures 3 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, in order to enable the capsule to better move from the end of the first cavity 17 close to the feed port 12 to the end close to the discharge port 14, the diameter of the first cavity 17 gradually decreases from the discharge port 14 end to the feed port 12 end, and the side wall of the first cavity 17 has a first angle α. The first angle α is 0.5 to 5 degrees, and the preferred first angle α is 1 degree. Specifically, after the capsule enters the first cavity 17 from the feed port 12, since the side wall of the first cavity 17 is inclined, it will gradually move toward the discharge port 14. During the movement, it will pass through multiple sieve holes 16, thereby effectively screening and separating capsules of different sizes. It can be understood that even if the first angle α is not set, as the number of capsules at the feed port 12 end increases, the capsules will gradually move toward the discharge port 14, and the same effect of screening capsules can be achieved.

[0039] Depend on Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the pill screening mechanism 1 further includes a first baffle 19 disposed in the first cavity 17 for stirring the capsules. Figure 8 As shown, the star-shaped pattern at the bottom of the first cavity 17 represents the capsule, and the arrow represents the rolling direction of the capsule during the rolling of the drum 11. The setting of the first baffle 19 can greatly improve the tumbling effect of the capsule in the first cavity 17, so that the capsules on the upper part of the capsule pile can be fully transferred to the bottom during the rotation and contact the sieve hole 16 for screening, which greatly improves the accuracy of screening and has good practical significance.

[0040] Depend on Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 includes a first rotating member 9 and a second rotating member 7 configured on the drum 11, a pair of first supporting members 10 rotatably configured on the housing mechanism 2 and used to support the first rotating member 9, and a pair of second supporting members 8 rotatably configured on the housing mechanism 2 and used to support the second rotating member 7. Specifically, the pair of first supporting members 10 and the pair of second supporting members 8 are respectively located on both sides of the axis of the drum 11, so that the drum 11 can always be located between the pair of first supporting members 10 and the pair of second supporting members 8 due to its own weight during the rotation process, and will not be disengaged from the supporting members along its radial direction during the rolling process. The first supporting member 10 and the second supporting member 8 located on the same side of the drum 11 are connected by a connecting rod to rotate synchronously. The first supporting member 10 and the first rotating member 9 are provided with matching transmission teeth. The driving mechanism 3 also includes a driving member for driving the first supporting member 10 to rotate. A sliding groove and a protrusion are provided between the second supporting member 8 and the second rotating member 7 to limit the rolling sliding along its axial direction. A reinforcing rod is provided between the first rotating member 9 and the second rotating member 7.

[0041] Depend on Figure 7As shown, there is a third angle γ between the first baffle 19 and the axis of the drum 11. The pill screening device also includes a control mechanism electrically connected to the driving member, which can control the driving member to rotate forward and reverse, thereby driving the drum 11 to rotate forward and reverse. Specifically, the driving mechanism 3 can drive the drum 11 to rotate in the first direction so that the first baffle 19 pushes the capsule toward the discharge port 14; the driving mechanism 3 can drive the drum 11 to rotate in the second direction so that the first baffle 19 pushes the capsule toward the feed port 12. When the capsule enters the first cavity 17, the drum 11 can rotate in the second direction for a period of time, so that the capsule is always in the first cavity 17 and does not enter the first channel 18, and continuously rolls in the first cavity 17 until all the small capsules are discharged from the sieve hole 16. Then the drum 11 is rotated in the first direction to discharge the large capsule from the discharge port 14, ensuring that the large capsule and the small capsule are completely separated, which has good practical significance. In another embodiment, the first baffle 19 can be spirally arranged on the side wall of the first cavity 17, and when the drum 11 rotates in the first direction, the first baffle 19 can still push the capsule toward the discharge port 14, and when the drum 11 rotates in the second direction, the first baffle 19 can still push the capsule toward the feed port 12, which also belongs to the protection scope of the present invention. It can be understood that the actual effect achieved by the first baffle 19 is to set an inclined surface inside the first cavity 17, and push the capsule to the two ends of the first cavity 17 when the drum 11 rotates forward and reversely, and all structures that can achieve the above functions should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] The housing mechanism 2 further includes a cleaning member for contacting the outer surface of the drum 11. The cleaning member is a soft silicone strip or a brush. During the rotation of the drum 11, some capsules may get stuck in the sieve holes 16, and the cleaning member can contact these stuck capsules from the outside of the drum 11 and push them back into the first cavity 17, which can effectively prevent the sieve holes 16 from being blocked, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the sieved pills, and has good practical significance.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
