[0056] Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0057] Example 1

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a volume metering and dispensing device for powdered drugs, including a base 6, a hopper 1, a metering component 2, a dispensing component 3, and a positive and negative pressure switching component.

[0059] The function of base 6 is to support the entire packaging device. The structure of base 6 can be modified according to specific circumstances, as long as it has the supporting function.

[0060] The hopper 1 contains powder 100 to be packaged. The hopper 1 has a discharge port at the bottom. The function of the hopper 1 is to store the powder 100. The hopper 1 is shaped like a bucket. The material is added from the large opening at the top or side and goes out through the small opening at the bottom (discharge port).

[0061] The cylindrical metering component 2 is horizontally positioned below the discharge port of the hopper 1, and the outer surface of the metering component 2 is tangent to the discharge port. A certain gap is maintained between the discharge port and the outer circumferential surface of the metering component 2, thereby ensuring that the powder 100 will not leak from the metering component 2 and the discharge port, and will not generate friction between the hopper 1 and the metering component 2.

[0062] The dispensing component 3 is located below the metering component 2, and a feeder 31 corresponding to the metering pit 21 is located above the dispensing component 3.

[0063] The outer side of the metering component 2 is provided with multiple metering pits 21. The two ends of the metering component 2 are rotatably connected to the base 6. The torque output shaft of the rotation drive component is fixedly connected to the first end of the metering component 2 and drives the metering component 2 to rotate along its central axis. The rotation drive component drives the metering component 2 to rotate between the bottom of the discharge port and the top of the feeder 31.

[0064] When the metering pit 21 is below the discharge port, the powder 100 in the hopper 1 enters the metering pit 21 for filling. Then the metering component 2 rotates. When the metering pit 21 rotates to the top of the dispensing component 3, the powder 100 is discharged from the metering pit 21 and falls into the dispensing component 3 to achieve dispensing.

[0065] To prevent powder 100 from falling out of metering pit 21 during the rotation of metering component 2, an air passage 25 communicating with metering pit 21 is provided inside metering component 2, and the air passage 25 is used in conjunction with positive and negative pressure switching component.

[0066] The positive and negative pressure switching component has an air intake port 4 and an exhaust port 5. When the metering pit 21 is connected to the feeder 31, the exhaust port 5 of the positive and negative pressure switching component is connected to the air passage 25. At this time, the metering pit 21 is in a positive pressure state, and the powder 100 in the metering pit 21 can be discharged by airflow.

[0067] When the metering pit 21 is in other positions, the air inlet 4 of the positive and negative pressure switching component is connected to the air passage 25. The air inlet 4 makes the inside of the metering pit 21 in other positions negative pressure, which can adsorb the powder 100 in the metering pit 21 and prevent it from falling out of the metering pit 21.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment describes the specific structure of the metering component 2. The metering component 2 includes a rotating drum 22, a filter cylinder 23, and an outer cylinder 24. The rotating drum 22, the filter cylinder 23, and the outer cylinder 24 are fixedly connected in sequence from the inside to the outside.

[0070] The rotating drum 22 is horizontally positioned below the discharge port of the hopper 1, and the first end of the rotating drum 22 is fixedly connected to the torque output shaft of the rotation drive assembly. The air passage 25 is positioned inside the rotating drum 22, and the open end of the air passage 25 is connected to the second end face of the rotating drum 22. That is, the horizontally positioned air passage 25 also has two ends. The first end of the air passage 25 is not connected to the first end face of the rotating drum 22, and the second end (open end) of the air passage 25 is connected to the second end face of the rotating drum 22.

[0071] The outer cylinder 24 is fitted onto the rotating drum 22, and the outer cylinder 24 and the rotating drum 22 are coaxially arranged. Multiple metering pits 21 are arranged on the outer cylinder 24 and penetrate through the inner and outer sides of the outer cylinder 24. The outer side of the outer cylinder 24 is tangent to the discharge port. The metering pit 21 is a through hole arranged on the outer cylinder 24 and is connected to the corresponding air passage 25.

[0072] The filter cartridge 23 is fixedly disposed between the outer side of the drum 22 and the inner side of the outer cylinder 24, with the inner side of the filter cartridge 23 in contact with the outer side of the drum 22 and the outer side of the filter cartridge 23 in contact with the inner side of the outer cylinder 24. The filter pore diameter of the filter cartridge 23 is smaller than the diameter of the powder 100. Airflow can pass through the filter cartridge 23, but the powder 100 cannot pass through the filter cartridge 23, thereby preventing the powder 100 from being sucked away by the positive and negative pressure switching component.

[0073] To accommodate the tangential relationship between the outer cylinder 24 and the material cylinder, the discharge port in this embodiment includes two straight edges and two curved edges, and its projection on the horizontal plane is a rectangular structure.

[0074] Two straight edges parallel to the central axis of the outer cylinder 24, and two arc edges concentric with the central axis of the outer cylinder 24, with the straight edges and arc edges connected end to end, and a gap is provided between the straight edges and arc edges and the outer surface of the outer cylinder 24, and the gap is smaller than the diameter of the powder 100, that is, the gap is less than 1mm.

[0075] Example 3

[0076] This embodiment describes the structure of the rotation drive assembly and the sub-assembly assembly 3.

[0077] The rotation drive component is a servo motor, and the torque output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the first end of the drum 22 through a gearbox.

[0078] The packaging component 3 includes a feeder 31 and a product packaging position.

[0079] The feeder 31 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the feeder 31 is tangent to the outer cylinder 24. The feeder 31 has a funnel structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The upper end of the feeder 31 can be tangent to the outer side of the outer cylinder 24 (the principle is similar to the discharge port). The lower end of the feeder 31 is connected to the inner packaging of the product (such as capsules).

[0080] Multiple feeders 31 are arranged in a straight line and located directly below the central axis of the metering component 2. By setting multiple feeders 31, the inner packaging of multiple products can be completed simultaneously.

[0081] The product dispensing position is located directly below the outlet of the feeder 31, and the product dispensing position is equipped with product inner packaging. It can adopt the conventional technology at present. At present, the product dispensing position is filled by controlling the valve. In this embodiment, the metering component 2 is used to realize the metering of the product dispensing position.

[0082] Example 4

[0083] In addition, to achieve synchronous movement of the inner packaging of the product at the product dispensing position, this embodiment divides the multiple metering pits 21 into multiple groups (e.g., Figure 3 The four groups in the model can actually be more than four groups, such as six, eight, or twelve. Multiple metering pits 21 in the same group are arranged in a straight line and are set parallel to the central axis of the metering component 2.

[0084] Multiple sets of metering pits 21 are distributed in a ring along the central axis of the outer cylinder 24;

[0085] The number of air passages 25 is equal to the number of groups of metering pits 21, and multiple air passages 25 are set up one-to-one with multiple groups of metering pits 21 and are connected.

[0086] To facilitate the description of the working principle, according to Figure 3 The markings in the text divide the multiple groups of measuring pits 21 into the first group 211, the second group 212, the third group 213, and the fourth group 214.

[0087] The positive and negative pressure switching assembly includes a sealing block 7, an intake pipe, and an exhaust pipe.

[0088] like Figure 4 As shown, the sealing block 7 is fixedly connected to the base 6, and the sealing surface of the sealing block 7 is dynamically sealed to the second end face of the drum 22. The sealing block 7 is provided with an air intake 4 and an exhaust port 5.

[0089] When a certain group (third group 213) metering pit 21 is located directly above the feeder 31, the opening end of the air passage 25 connected to the metering pit 21 is connected to the exhaust port 5.

[0090] The opening ends of the air passages 25 corresponding to the metering pits 21 in the other groups (Group 1 211, Group 212, Group 4 214) are all connected to the air inlet 4.

[0091] The suction pipe connects the suction port 4 to the vacuum pump, which is used to provide negative pressure to the metering pit 21, thereby achieving the purpose of adsorbing the powder 100 into the metering pit 21.

[0092] The exhaust pipe connects the exhaust port 5 to the air pump, which provides positive pressure to the metering pit 21, thereby achieving the purpose of discharging the powder 100 from the metering pit 21.

[0093] In order to achieve the above positive and negative pressure operations.

[0094] like Figure 3 As shown, the line connecting the metering pit 21 and its corresponding air passage 25 coincides with the radius of the metering component 2; the distances between the multiple air passages 25 and the central axis of the drum 22 are all equal.

[0095] The exhaust port 5 includes an exhaust hole 72 that communicates with the exhaust pipe. The exhaust hole 72 is located directly above the feeder 31 and is connected to the opening end of the air passage 25 (corresponding to the third group 213) located directly above the feeder 31.

[0096] The air intake 4 includes an arc-shaped air intake groove 71 and an air intake hole, which connects the arc-shaped air intake groove 71 and the vacuum pump.

[0097] The arc-shaped suction groove 71 is provided on the sealing surface of the sealing block 7, and the radius of the arc-shaped suction groove 71 is equal to the distance between the air passage 25 and the central axis of the drum 22. The two ends of the arc-shaped suction groove 71 are located on both sides of the exhaust hole 72, and are not connected to the exhaust hole 72.

[0098] The remaining first group 211, second group 212 and fourth group 214 are all connected to the arc-shaped suction groove 71, continuously providing negative pressure to the metering pit 21 except for the third group 213, so that the powder 100 can be adsorbed in the metering pit 21 and prevented from falling off.
