Example

[0049] like Figures 1 to 18 As shown, this embodiment discloses an eight-channel pellet counting system.

The reference voltage module is connected to the main control chip module to generate a reference voltage for providing the voltage required for adjustment of the analog signal output module to control the vibration amplitude of the vibrator.

[0067] Voltage Anti-Interference Module Reference Figure 15 The circuit connection of the reference voltage module Figure 16 circuit connections.

[0068] A relay control module is connected to the main control chip module for controlling the operation of the conveyor belt;

[0069] The communication circuit module is divided into a grating plate communication circuit and a host computer communication circuit. The grating plate communication circuit communicates with the grating plate module. The grating plate module starts working after receiving the signal to detect and count the medicine particles or particulate matter. The host computer communication circuit communicates with the host computer touch screen.

[0070] The grating plate communication circuit includes a grating plate communication chip connected to the main control chip module and a protection circuit;

[0071] The host computer communication circuit includes a host computer communication chip connected to the main control chip module and a protection circuit;

[0072] Grating board communication circuit reference Figure 11 Wiring design diagram, and host computer communication circuit reference Figure 12 Wiring design diagram;

[0073] Storage module, used for parameter storage; reference Figure 17 Wiring design diagram.

[0074] The grating plate module communication includes a grating plate main control chip, a photoelectric signal transmitting end, and a photoelectric signal receiving end.

[0075] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: The main structure of the present invention is: ‌Main control board‌: core control unit, responsible for signal processing, logical judgment, and communication scheduling. ‌Grating plate‌ (8 channels): detects the falling of medicine pellets / granules and generates a counting pulse signal. ‌Solenoid valve plate‌: controls the start and stop of medicine bottle packaging (through the solenoid valve attraction / release). ‌Vibrator‌ (8 channels): drives the medicine pellets to fall to the detection area in an orderly manner. ‌Conveyor belt‌: transports the medicine bottles to the designated workstation. ‌Sensor‌: including position sensor (to detect whether the medicine bottle is in place), vibrator status sensor, emergency stop sensor, etc. ‌Touch screen (host computer)‌: parameter setting, status display, manual operation interface.

[0076] When a button on the host computer is pressed, for example, to start the process, the main control chip module receives the signal and feeds the start signal to the relay control module, which then turns on the conveyor belt. This signal is then forwarded to the grating plate, which then transmits it to the grating plate module via the grating plate communication circuit, initiating the grating plate module's operation. The grating plate detects and counts the falling pills or granules, collecting all the count signals. At startup, the signal output module controls the solenoid valve output, checks the sensor signal to see if it's ready, and activates the vibrator. Everything is set up correctly.

[0077] The pills actually fall. The falling pills are detected by the grating plate, which generates a counting signal. The main controller then remembers this count signal. For example, if a bottle is full, it controls the vibrator or solenoid valve to engage or temporarily stop.

[0078] For example, after a full bottle is put in, the main control board generates a signal to the grating board, and the grating board controls the solenoid valve signal or releases it;

[0079] Basically, every part is involved in work. If the upper computer presses the stop button, it means that the conveyor belt on the main control board will stop, the vibrator will stop, and the external solenoid valve signal will stop.

[0080] The indicator lights also need to be controlled to produce different indications and different states.

[0081] Communication method: The solenoid valve and the main control chip are connected through a flat cable, which is a direct wire connection. The grating board and the main control board are transmitted through communication, RS485 / CAN bus, to transmit counting signals and control instructions. The main control board and the touch screen of the host computer are also transmitted through communication. The photoelectric signal collected by the grating board and the control status of the solenoid valve must be sent back to the main control board. After the main control board integrates these signals, on the one hand, it must control and process them by itself, and on the other hand, it must also transmit this information to the touch screen of the host computer. The touch screen of the host computer has many parameters and buttons. If the personnel perform an operation, then the corresponding operation information must be transmitted to the main control board, allowing the main control board to perform the corresponding operation. ‌Communication architecture‌

[0082] A pipeline control method for an eight-channel pellet counting machine system comprises the following steps:

[0083] a) After receiving the start command from the host computer, the conveyor belt, vibration table and grating sensor are activated synchronously;

[0084] b) The material falling signal is collected in real time through the grating counting board, and the main control chip performs cumulative counting;

[0085] c) When the count reaches a preset threshold, a solenoid valve control signal and a vibration table adjustment signal are generated;

[0086] d) Upload the device status to the touch screen interface in real time through the communication module;

[0087] e) When receiving an emergency stop signal, cut off the power supply to all actuators and activate the status indicator alarm.

[0088] ‌2. Control Flow‌

[0089] ‌1. Start the process‌

[0090] Initialize detection

[0091] Main control board self-test (communication, sensor, and output module status).

[0092] Check whether the vibrator, grating plate and solenoid valve of each channel are ready.

[0093] The touch screen displays the initialization status (green for normal / red for alarm).

[0094] ‌Start Action‌

[0095] The operator clicks the "Start" button on the touch screen and the signal is sent to the main control board through communication.

[0096] The main control board executes the following steps in sequence:

[0097] Start the conveyor belt → vibrator (soft start to prevent shock) → the solenoid valve is closed by default.

[0098] Send a command to the grating plate to start detection and enter the counting mode.

[0099] ‌2. Operation phase (8 channels in parallel)‌

[0100] ‌Pellet Counting and Control‌

[0101] Grating board: Detects falling pills in real time, counts each channel independently, and sends a full bottle signal to the main control board when the preset value (such as N pills / bottle) is reached.

[0102] Main control board:

[0103] After receiving the full bottle signal, the corresponding channel solenoid valve is controlled to close (stop feeding).

[0104] Trigger the vibrator to pause (to prevent overflow) and restart vibration after a delay (to ensure continuous feeding of the next bottle).

[0105] Update the touch screen count display and channel status (such as "Channel 1: Completed").

[0106] Synchronous coordination

[0107] The main control board monitors the conveyor belt position sensor to ensure that the medicine bottles are accurately positioned under each channel.

[0108] If there is no signal from the grating plate of a certain channel continuously (blockage alarm), the main control board will pause the channel and trigger the vibrator to vibrate in the reverse direction to clear the blockage.

[0109] ‌3. Stop / Emergency Stop Procedure‌

[0110] ‌Normal Stop‌

[0111] The operator clicks the "Stop" button on the touch screen, and the main control board receives the command:

[0112] Turn off all vibrators, conveyors, and solenoid valves.

[0113] Reset the grating plate count data and save the current status to the memory.

[0114] The touch screen displays "Standby" and the indicator light turns yellow.

[0115] Emergency stop handling

[0116] The emergency stop button triggers a hard-wired signal, and the main control board immediately cuts off all output power (with a higher priority than communication commands).

[0117] The alarm indicator light flashes and a fault prompt interface pops up on the touch screen.

[0118] The host computer touch screen provides the following functions:

[0119] Set the target number of particles per channel, vibrator frequency, and communication timeout threshold;

[0120] Real-time display of each channel counting progress, solenoid valve status and alarm log;

[0121] Supports single-channel manual debugging mode to force start and stop of vibrator or solenoid valve.

[0122] ‌System startup phase‌:

[0123] After receiving the start command from the host computer, the main control board starts the conveyor belt, the vibrators of each channel and the solenoid valve in the default closed state in sequence;

[0124] The detection start command is sent to the grating plate via the RS485 / CAN bus to activate the grain counting function of the grating plate.

[0125] ‌Run Control Phase‌:

[0126] The grating plate detects the falling of the medicine pellets in real time and generates a counting signal, which is transmitted back to the main control board through communication;

[0127] The main control board determines whether a single bottle of pills is full based on a preset threshold. If the threshold is reached, the solenoid valve of the corresponding channel is controlled to close and the vibrator is paused.

[0128] The main control board simultaneously monitors the conveyor belt position sensor to ensure that the medicine bottles are accurately positioned under each channel.

[0129] Stop / Emergency Stop Phase:

[0130] After receiving the stop command from the host computer, the main control board turns off all vibrators, conveyor belts and solenoid valves, and resets the grating plate counting data;

[0131] When the emergency stop signal is triggered, the main control board immediately cuts off the power supply of the actuator and triggers the sound and light alarm.

[0132] This program Figure 1-17 The specific wiring diagram and component parameters are given, such as R7 uses 15K, resistor C1 uses 102C1 uses 102, etc., which can be used as an embodiment.

[0133] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
