The powder spacing assembly 47 is a powder baffle.

[0041] Before the operation of the tablet manufacturing system, different numbers of powder falling gates 3 can be arranged according to the ingredient requirements of the tablets. Different powders can be arranged in each powder falling gate 3. The powder falling gate 3 can be directly arranged on the assembly plate 21 of the machine body 2, so that the first docking part 31 and the first assembly part 211 are arranged with each other, and the second docking part 32 and the second assembly part 212 are arranged with each other. The first docking part 31 and the first assembly part 211, and the second docking part 32 and the second assembly part 212 respectively have the guide structure, so that the powder falling gate 3 can be directly arranged vertically on the machine body 2 from the top, and quickly assembled on the machine body 2 through the first docking part 31 and the first assembly part 211, and the second docking part 32 and the second assembly part 212. Then the control member 25 controls the pull rod 26 to arrange the docking hole 322, so that the powder falling gate 3 can be quickly assembled on the machine body 2, and at the same time, the effect of avoiding the mixing of powders and affecting the effect of tablets can be achieved. Conversely, if the powder falling gate 3 needs to be replaced, the control member 25 can control the pull rod 26 to separate from the docking hole 322, and then the powder falling gate 3 can be directly taken out from the assembly plate 21, so that the powder falling gate 3 can be quickly disassembled and assembled on the machine body 2, and the powder falling gate 3 can be quickly disassembled and replaced according to the ingredient requirements, and the effect of reducing the cost of equipment and improving the efficiency of tablet manufacturing can be achieved.

[0042] Yet, the powder containing space 33 of the powder gate 3 contains medicine powder, and different medicine powder can be set in the powder gates 3 according to the composition requirement of the medicine pills, and when the medicine pill manufacturing system needs to print medicine powder, the control host can control the moving position of the machine body 2, and can control the stirring driving assembly 23 to drive the rotating speed of the stirring roller 36 in the powder containing space 33, and can control the powder driving assembly 24 to drive the rotation of the powder roller 37 to drop the medicine powder into the powder outlet 39, so as to achieve the effect of accurately controlling the powder amount of each powder gate 3.

[0043] In addition, if the medicine powder in the powder gate 3 on the machine body 2 needs to be supplemented, the control host can control the machine body 2 to move to below the powder storage gate 4, and different medicine powder is set in each powder storage space 43 in the powder storage gate 4, so that when the control host controls the machine body 2 to move to below the powder storage gate 4, the powder gate 3 can be moved to below the powder storage space 43 that needs to be supplemented with medicine powder, and the positioning between the machine body 2 and the powder storage gate 4 is positioned by the positioning assembly 22 and the alignment assembly 41, so that the powder gate 3 that needs to be supplemented with medicine powder can be accurately moved to below the powder storage space 43 that can be supplemented with medicine powder.

[0044] After the powder gate 3 that needs to be supplemented with medicine powder is moved to below the powder storage space 43 that can be supplemented with medicine powder, the powder storage outlet assembly 44 of the powder storage space 43 that can be supplemented with medicine powder is attached to the powder gate assembly 34 of the powder gate 3 that needs to be supplemented with medicine powder, and the control host can control the powder storage control unit 45 of the powder storage space 43 that can be supplemented with medicine powder to start the powder outlet linkage assembly 46, so that the powder outlet linkage assembly 46 slowly pushes the powder storage outlet assembly 44, so that the powder storage outlet assembly 44 is opened, and at the same time that the powder storage outlet assembly 44 is opened, the powder storage outlet assembly 44 simultaneously pushes the powder gate assembly 34, so that the powder storage space 43 that can be supplemented with medicine powder is connected to the powder containing space 33 that needs to be supplemented with medicine powder, and the medicine powder in the powder storage space 43 directly falls into the powder containing space 33, thereby the modular medicine pill manufacturing system 1 can quickly supplement medicine powder, thereby solving the problem that in the prior art, sufficient powder storage space needs to be provided to store a large amount of medicine powder, resulting in slow movement of the printing equipment and low efficiency of medicine pill production, thereby achieving the effects of reducing equipment cost and improving medicine pill production efficiency.

[0045] and wherein the powder storage control unit 45 activates the powder outlet linkage assembly 46, and the powder outlet linkage assembly 46 pushes the powder outlet assembly 44 of the powder storage at the same time, the powder outlet assembly 44 of the powder storage simultaneously opens the powder storage side shutter, and the powder storage side shutter engages the powder falling side shutter, so that when the medicine powder in the powder storage space 43 falls into the powder falling accommodation space 33, the powder storage side shutter and the powder falling side shutter can block the dust or the medicine powder flying out formed by the falling medicine powder.

[0046] and wherein after the medicine powder in the powder falling accommodation space 33 is filled, the control host can control the powder storage control unit 45 of the refillable powder storage space 43, so that the powder storage control unit 45 activates the powder outlet linkage assembly 46, and the powder outlet linkage assembly 46 pulls back the powder outlet assembly 44 of the powder storage, so that the powder outlet assembly 44 of the powder storage returns to the original position and closes the powder storage space 43, and when the powder outlet assembly 44 of the powder storage returns to the original position, the powder falling shutter assembly 34 can also return to the original position and close the powder falling accommodation space 33 by the elastic force.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 The powder storage shutter 4 is shown in another schematic diagram of the modular medicine pill manufacturing system of the present application, wherein the internal volume of the powder storage space 43 in the powder storage shutter 4 gradually decreases from front to back, and a slope is formed at the bottom of the powder storage shutter 4, and the bottom of each powder storage space 43 is also provided with the powder outlet assembly 44, which closes the powder storage space 43, so that the powder storage space 43 can conveniently fall the medicine powder into the powder falling accommodation space 33 by the slope.
