[0035] When the user needs to use the present packaging device, the user is required to pour the finished soft capsules into the soft capsule slot 11 through an external device, and measure the average size of the soft capsules in advance and enter it into the console 12. When all the soft capsules enter the soft capsule slot 11, the user can start the present packaging device through the console 12. When the present packaging device is started, the No. 6 motor 16 will be started under the action of the console 12. After the No. 6 motor 16 is started, its motor shaft will drive the rotating plate 28 to rotate. As the rotating plate 28 rotates, the capsules in the soft capsule slot 11 will continuously fall into the conveyor belt 18 along the rotating plate 28, and the No. 5 motor 19 will also be started on the console 1 2, the motor shaft of the motor 19 will drive the No. 4 pulley 29 to rotate after the No. 5 motor 19 is started, and the rotation of the No. 4 pulley 29 will drive the conveyor belt 18 to drive, thereby driving the soft capsules on the conveyor belt 18 to move, and as the conveyor belt 18 drives, the soft capsules on the conveyor belt 18 will fall onto the guide block 22, and due to the inclined surface on the guide block 22, the soft capsules that fall onto the guide block 22 will continue to fall into the limiting path 23 along the inclined surface of the guide block 22, and at the same time, the No. 4 motor 21 is also started under the action of the console 12, and after the No. 4 motor 21 is started, the motor shaft will drive the No. 3 pulley 27 to rotate, thereby driving the soft capsule conveyor belt 3 5 transmission, thereby driving the soft capsules that fall into the limiting path 23 to move, so that under the limiting of the limiting path 23, the soft capsules in the limiting path 23 are no longer stacked, and the soft capsules are continuously driven to move in an arranged manner. As the soft capsules continue to move between the limiting paths 23, while the rotating plate 28 rotates, the No. 2 electric push rod 45 and one of the pairs of the No. 1 electric push rods 62 are also started under the action of the console 12, thereby starting to extend. After the No. 2 electric push rod 45 and one of the pairs of the No. 1 electric push rods 62 extend to a suitable length (adjusted according to the average size of the soft capsules previously entered), the driving is stopped. When the soft capsules on the limiting path 23 pass the camera 44, they will be The camera 44 detects and transmits a signal to the console 12. After receiving the signal from the camera 44, the console 12 activates the distance sensor 47 through the console 12. After the distance sensor 47 is activated, it will monitor in real time whether the connecting tube 48 slides and contracts. As the No. 2 electric push rod 45 extends, the distance between the detection roller 73 and the limit path 23 is smaller than the height of the soft capsule. Since the soft capsule itself has a certain hardness, when the undamaged soft capsule passes through the detection roller 73, the detection roller 73 and the slide bar 49 will be lifted by the undamaged soft capsule, the spring 50 will be compressed and deformed, and the distance sensor 47 will detect the movement of the slide bar 49.The distance sensor 47 cooperates with the camera 44 to ensure that data is measured when each soft capsule passes through the detection roller 73, and that each soft capsule is detected. When a broken soft capsule passes through the detection roller 73, due to the notch on the broken soft capsule, it will be flattened by the detection roller 73 when passing through the detection roller 73, and the detection roller 73 cannot be lifted up. At this time, the distance sensor 47 will transmit a signal to the console 12. After receiving the signal transmitted by the distance sensor 47, the console 12 will start the No. 3 electric push rod 75. After the No. 3 electric push rod 75 is started, it will begin to extend. As the No. 3 electric push rod 75 extends, it will pass through the detection roller 73 but is determined to be The damaged soft capsule contacts with the third electric push rod 75, and as the third electric push rod 75 is further extended, the telescopic end of the third electric push rod 75 will resist the damaged soft capsule and contact with the flap 76, and lift up the flap 76, the torsion spring 77 is deformed, and the damaged soft capsule is pushed into the waste collection groove 34, and the flap 76 is reset under the action of the torsion spring 77, and the third electric push rod 75 quickly pushes the damaged soft capsule into the waste collection groove 34 without affecting the normal operation of other components, and so on, thereby completing the sorting of whether the soft capsule is damaged or not, and as the soft capsule conveyor belt 35 continues to transmit and passes through the infrared sensor 33, the infrared sensor 33 will detect the soft capsule passing through the limit path 23 below it. The capsules are counted to facilitate subsequent packaging, and then the soft capsules passing through the detection roller 73 will pass through the cleaning roller 69, and the No. 2 motor 71 is started under the action of the console 12 before the soft capsule enters the limiting path 23. After the No. 2 motor 71 is started, its motor shaft will drive the corresponding No. 2 pulley 64 to rotate, and the No. 2 pulley 64 will complete synchronous transmission through the No. 2 transmission belt 65, thereby driving the limiting sleeve rod 70 to rotate, and then driving the cleaning roller 69 to rotate through the limiting sleeve rod 70. When the soft capsule passes through the cleaning roller 69, since the cleaning roller 69 is elliptical, it will not affect the normal passage of the soft capsule, and the surface of the cleaning roller 69 has a soft cleaning fabric responsible for cleaning. It will not affect the normal passage of the soft capsules, but the friction between the cleaning roller 69 and the soft capsules will drive the soft capsules to rotate when passing through the cleaning roller 69, so that the soft cleaning fabric responsible for cleaning on the cleaning roller 69 is in full contact with the surface of the soft capsules, thereby completing the cleaning of the surfaces of all qualified soft capsules, thereby avoiding the leakage of the internal liquid of the damaged soft capsules and affecting the surfaces of other qualified soft capsules. As the soft capsule conveyor belt 35 continues to drive, the soft capsules will be sterilized under the action of the sterilization lamp 74 when passing through the cleaning roller 69 from the detection roller 73. The soft capsules driven by the soft capsule conveyor belt 35 will fall into the hopper 24. When the soft capsules enter the hopper 24,The soft capsules on the baffle plate 43 will be blocked by one of the baffle plates 43 closer to the cleaning roller collecting groove 30, and when the pressure sensor on the baffle plate 43 reaches a preset weight (set by the user to measure the qualified soft capsule weight), the pressure sensor will transmit a signal to the console 12. After receiving the signal transmitted by the pressure sensor, the console 12 will start the corresponding No. 5 electric push rod 42 and control the soft capsule conveyor belt 35 to stop conveying. After the corresponding No. 5 electric push rod 42 is started, it will begin to shrink, thereby driving the corresponding baffle plate 43 to move, so that the soft capsules on the baffle plate 43 fall onto the other baffle plate 43 away from the cleaning roller collecting groove 30, and then shrink. The No. 5 electric push rod 42 is started again and resets under the action of the control console 12, and the soft capsule conveyor belt 35 restarts to convey at this time. When the soft capsules on the baffle plate 43 near the cleaning roller collecting groove 30 reach a certain number again, the soft capsule conveyor belt 35 is controlled to stop conveying again, and another No. 5 electric push rod 42 is started under the action of the control console 12, so that the soft capsules on the baffle plate 43 fall into the medicine bottle 26, and then the medicine bottle conveyor belt 25 runs, so that the next empty medicine bottle 26 is located at the discharge position of the hopper 24, and then the No. 5 electric push rod 42 farthest from the cleaning roller collecting groove 30 is reset under the action of the control console 12, and the distance The No. 5 electric push rod 42 closest to the cleaning roller collecting groove 30 will be started under the action of the console 12, so that the soft capsule will fall again onto the baffle 43 farthest from the cleaning roller collecting groove 30, and so on and so forth to complete the feeding into the medicine bottle 26, which is convenient for the subsequent packaging of the medicine bottle 26. After one pair of the cleaning rollers 69 has been used for a certain period of time, the No. 1 electric push rod 62 that was originally extended will begin to contract under the action of the console 12, and the No. 1 electric push rod 62 that was originally contracted will begin to extend, thereby completing the alternation without affecting the cleaning of the surface of the soft capsule. Then the corresponding No. 1 motor 54 is started under the action of the console 12. After the No. 1 motor 54 is started, The No. 1 pulley 52 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the corresponding circular plate 51 to rotate through the No. 1 transmission belt 53, thereby driving the No. 1 electric push rod 62 that has just completed the contraction to rotate, and the No. 1 pulley 52 drives the No. 1 electric push rod 62 to rotate in the direction of the side where the cleaning roller collecting groove 30 is provided, and then the corresponding No. 4 electric push rod 37 is started under the action of the console 12 and begins to extend. When the No. 4 electric push rod 37 is extended to a certain length, the No. 3 motor 59 on the No. 4 electric push rod 37 will be started under the action of the console 12, thereby driving the screw 57 to rotate through the motor shaft of the No. 3 motor 59, thereby driving the clamping blocks 60 to gather together through the screw 57,The cleaning roller 69 that has been used is clamped, and then the No. 4 electric push rod 37 begins to retract with the cleaning roller 69 that has been used, until the No. 4 electric push rod 37 is completely reset, and the No. 3 motor 59 is started again under the action of the console 12, thereby driving the clamping block 60 that clamps the cleaning roller 69 that has been used to reset, so that the cleaning roller 69 that has been used falls into the cleaning roller collecting groove 30, and then the No. 1 motor 54 is started again under the action of the console 12, so that the No. 1 electric push rod 62 is turned toward the No. 2 connecting block 32 on the other side where the cleaning roller collecting groove 30 is not provided, so that the limiting sleeve rod 70 for removing the used cleaning roller 69 is facing the side away from the cleaning roller collecting groove 30, and then the No. 2 connecting block 32 on which the cleaning roller collecting groove 30 is not provided is turned. One of the No. 4 electric push rods 37 is started under the action of the console 12, and the spare cleaning roller 38 is inserted into the limiting sleeve rod 70, and then the corresponding No. 3 motor 59 is started under the action of the console 12, thereby driving the corresponding screw rod 57 to move, thereby driving the clamping block 60 to loosen the spare cleaning roller 38 inserted into the limiting sleeve rod 70, and no longer clamping the spare cleaning roller 38, and then the No. 4 electric push rod 37 is reset under the action of the console 12 to complete the replacement of the spare cleaning roller 38, and the corresponding No. 1 motor 54 is started under the action of the console 12, thereby driving the corresponding No. 1 electric push rod 62 to rotate and reset, and so on and so forth, to complete the replacement of the cleaning roller 69, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect on the surface of the soft capsule, and the user can manually replenish the clean spare cleaning roller 38 later.
