Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of grain counting machines, in particular to a grain counting machine. Background Art

[0002] The grain counting machine is used for counting and packaging of granular materials such as medicines and buttons. Usually, the materials need to be put into packaging containers after counting. Grain counting machine technology, the grain counting frame or the machine base is used to support the conveying of granular materials, and the conveying channel is fixed on the conveying channel base. Side panels are set on both sides of the conveying channel base, and the number of conveying channels is fixed.

[0003] The number of discharged particles of the current counting machines is a fixed value, and it is impossible to provide an odd or even number of capsules as required, so there is room for improvement. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a capsule counting machine to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, which has the advantage of controlling the number of capsules when they are discharged.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a capsule counting machine, comprising a frame, a transport plate is arranged on the side of the frame, an odd number of transport channels are arranged on one side of the transport plate, a single transport channel is arranged on the other side of the transport plate, a limiter is arranged on the lower side of the transport plate for limiting the falling of capsules, the frame is fixedly connected with a discharge plate at one end of the transport plate, the frame is provided with a push plate at one side of the discharge plate, and a push groove connected with the transport channel and used for pushing the push plate is arranged on the side of the discharge plate facing the push plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the capsules to be stored are placed on the upper end of the transport plate and fall into the transport channel due to their own gravity. At this time, all the transport channels contain capsules. In this case, all the channels are in even number. When all the transport channels are opened, the number of capsules falling is in even number. When a single transport channel on one side is closed, the number of capsules falling is in odd number, thereby controlling the number of capsules when being discharged. In this process, the limiter can close the transport channel at the bottom of the transport plate.

[0007] The overall working process is: the capsule enters the transport channel in the transport plate. Due to the action of the limiter, the capsule is confined in the transport channel. When an even number is required, all transport channels are opened at the same time to allow the capsule to fall. When an odd number is required, it is only necessary to keep a single transport channel on one side in a closed state. After the capsule falls, the capsule is pushed out by the movement of the push plate, and then the capsule can be collected. It is worth noting that the movement of the push plate and the movement of the transport plate are performed alternately, that is, when the push plate is pushed outward, the transport plate moves upward, thereby achieving the effect of efficient capsule discharging.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: a plurality of limit grooves penetrating the transport plate are provided on the lower side of the transport plate, the limit member includes an L-shaped limit rod at the opening of the limit groove, one end of the limit rod is in the transport channel, one end of the limit rod is connected to a first swing plate, the first swing plate is fixedly connected to a linkage plate, a first rotating rod is passed through the linkage plate, the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to a second swing plate, a roller is provided at one end of the second swing plate, and at least two adjusting cylinders are provided on the frame, and the adjusting cylinders are connected to fixed wheels.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, under the action of gravity, the first swing plate will be close to the transport plate so that one end of the limit rod is in the transport channel, thereby playing a role of blocking the capsule from falling at one end of the transport channel. In the process of the transport plate moving downward, the transport plate will drive the second swing plate to move downward, thereby driving the roller to move downward. After the roller moves to the fixed wheel, the roller will be squeezed by the fixed wheel and will deflect in the direction away from the transport plate, thereby driving the first rotating rod to rotate and then driving the linkage plate to rotate. The rotation of the linkage plate will drive the rotation of the first swing plate and then drive the limit rod to rotate outward, so that the limit rod no longer blocks the capsule, and the capsule will fall to one side of the push plate under the action of its own gravity, so that it will be pushed out by the push plate for collection;

[0010] Closing and opening of the transport channel: After the adjusting cylinder drives the fixed wheel to move until the roller is at the same level, the roller will move downward and touch the fixed wheel, causing the fixed wheel to deflect. When the roller is driven by the adjusting cylinder and is not at the same level as the roller, the roller will move downward and will not collide with the fixed wheel, causing the roller to not deflect and the limit rod to stop rotating, and the transport channel will remain in a closed state.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: a driving motor is arranged inside the frame, the driving motor is connected to a driving disk, a protrusion is integrally connected to the side of the driving disk, the protrusion is sleeved with a first connecting rod, the other end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to a first connecting plate, the other end of the first connecting plate is penetrated by a second connecting rod, the second connecting rod is fixedly sleeved with a first driving plate and a second driving plate, the first driving plate is connected to a transport plate, and the second driving plate is connected to a push plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving motor drives the driving disk to rotate and then drives the protrusion to rotate around the center of the driving disk. The rotation of the protrusion will drive the first connecting rod to perform periodic motion. In this process, the first connecting rod drives the first connecting plate to rotate and then drives the second connecting rod to rotate. The rotation of the second connecting rod drives the first driving plate and the second driving plate to move, so that the first driving plate drives the transport plate to move up and down and the second driving plate drives the push plate to move forward and backward.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: one end of the first driving plate is connected to a first adjusting wheel, the first adjusting wheel is sleeved with a first movable frame, the first movable frame is fixedly connected to the transport plate, the inner side of the transport plate is provided with a first through groove that penetrates the transport plate, and the frame is fixedly connected to a first support rod in the first through groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving plate will drive the first adjusting wheel to move, the first adjusting wheel will move inside the first moving frame to drive the first moving frame to move, the movement of the first moving frame will drive the transport plate to move, and the first support rod is in the first through groove to increase the stability of the transport plate when moving.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: one end of the second driving plate is connected to a second adjusting wheel, the second adjusting wheel is sleeved with a second movable frame, the second movable frame is fixedly connected to a fixed plate, the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the push plate, the fixed plate is provided with a second through groove penetrating the fixed plate, and the frame is provided with a second support rod in the second through groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the second driving plate can drive the second adjusting wheel, the second adjusting wheel will move in the second moving frame to drive the second moving frame to move, the movement of the second moving frame will drive the fixed plate to move and then drive the push plate to move, and the second support rod is in the second through groove to increase the stability of the fixed plate when moving.

[0017] As a further solution of the present invention: the frame includes a first feed hopper, the frame is provided with a second feed hopper located on one side of the first feed hopper, an isolation plate is provided between the first feed hopper and the second feed hopper, and the second feed hopper is located above the transport plate and connected to the transport channel.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the capsule is placed in the first feed hopper. Under the action of the isolation plate, the capsule will not enter the second feed hopper. After removing the isolation plate, the capsule will enter the second feed hopper and then enter the transport channel in the transport plate from the second feed hopper.

[0019] As a further solution of the present invention: the push plate includes a plurality of protruding convex plates, a pushing motor is arranged inside the convex plate, the output shaft of the pushing motor is threadedly connected to the pushing plate, and the convex plate is provided with a pushing groove for accommodating the pushing plate and fitting with the pushing plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the moving distance of the push plate is not enough, the push motor can be started to drive the output shaft of the push motor to rotate and then drive the push plate to move, thereby adjusting the length of one end of the push plate. During this process, the push plate is in the push groove so that the push plate cannot rotate and can only move in a straight line.

[0021] As a further solution of the present invention: the transport plate is provided with a receiving groove located on the inner side of the linkage plate, the bottom of the receiving groove is provided with an adjusting motor, the output shaft of the adjusting motor is threadedly connected with an adjusting block, and the adjusting block fits with the groove wall of the receiving groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when work stops, it is necessary to empty the capsules in the transport plate. At this time, the adjusting motor is started to drive the output shaft of the adjusting motor to rotate and then drive the adjusting block to move inward or outward. Since the adjusting block fits with the receiving groove, the adjusting block cannot rotate in the receiving groove and can only move in a straight line.

[0023] As a further solution of the present invention: a conveying rack is arranged on one side of the frame, a conveying belt is arranged on the conveying rack, a conveying motor for driving the conveying belt is arranged at one end of the conveying belt, an intercepting cylinder is installed on the conveying rack, the intercepting cylinder is connected to an intercepting plate, and a sensor is arranged on one side of the intercepting cylinder of the conveying rack.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveying motor drives the conveyor belt to run, and the medicines placed on the conveyor belt will be transported to the discharge point. At the discharge point, the medicine bottles will be blocked by the interception plate and stay there. After the sensor senses that the medicine bottles are full of capsules, it transmits a signal to the interception cylinder to drive the interception plate to no longer block the movement of the medicine bottles.

[0025] As a further solution of the present invention: a counter is arranged on the side of the fixed wheel.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the counter is used to measure the number of collisions between the fixed wheel and the roller. The number of capsule discharges can be preset by setting the counter. For example, the amount of capsule discharge can be calculated when the fixed wheel collides with the roller once.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] The capsules to be stored are placed on the upper end of the transport plate, and fall into the transport channel under the action of their own gravity. At this time, all the transport channels contain capsules. In this case, all the channels are in even number. When all the transport channels are open, the number of capsules falling is even. When a single transport channel on one side is closed, the number of capsules falling is odd, thereby controlling the number of capsules when being discharged. In this process, the limiter can play the role of closing the transport channel at the bottom of the transport plate;

[0029] The overall working process is: the capsule enters the transport channel in the transport plate. Due to the action of the limiter, the capsule is confined in the transport channel. When an even number is required, all transport channels are opened at the same time to allow the capsule to fall. When an odd number is required, it is only necessary to keep a single transport channel on one side in a closed state. After the capsule falls, the capsule is pushed out by the movement of the push plate, and then the capsule can be collected. It is worth noting that the movement of the push plate and the movement of the transport plate are performed alternately, that is, when the push plate is pushed outward, the transport plate moves upward, thereby achieving the effect of efficient capsule discharging.

[0052] Working principle:

[0053] The capsules to be stored are placed on the upper end of the transport plate 2, and fall into the transport channel 3 due to their own gravity. At this time, all the transport channels 3 contain capsules. In this case, all the channels are in even number.

When a single transport channel 3 on one side is closed, the number of capsules falling is in odd number, thereby controlling the number of capsules when being discharged. In this process, the limiter can close the transport channel 3 at the bottom of the transport plate 2;

[0054] The overall working process is: the capsule enters the transport channel 3 in the transport plate 2. Due to the action of the limiter, the capsule is confined in the transport channel 3. When an even number is required, all the transport channels 3 are opened at the same time to allow the capsule to fall. When an odd number is required, it is only necessary to keep the single transport channel 3 on one side in a closed state. After the capsule falls, the capsule is pushed out by the movement of the push plate 5, and then the capsule can be collected. It is worth noting that the movement of the push plate 5 and the movement of the transport plate 2 are performed alternately, that is, when the push plate 5 is pushed outward, the transport plate 2 moves upward, thereby achieving the effect of efficient capsule discharging.
