[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-9The existing tablet cutter has a fixed and inactive blade when in use. Although it can meet the tablet slicing effect, it can only be cut by the rotation of the tablet and the contact with the blade. As a result, more debris is generated during slicing, which is not conducive to the integrity of the tablet. In order to solve this technical problem, the following technical content is disclosed in this embodiment: a tablet medicine half-slicing medicine box suitable for a medicine packaging machine, comprising a tablet storage box 1 and a storage box cover 2 rotatably mounted above the tablet storage box 1. The tablet storage box 1 serves as a carrier to accommodate the medicine half-slicing structure therein, and a slicing medicine box upper cover 11 is installed below the medicine half-slicing structure. The slicing medicine box upper cover 11 is provided with a medicine discharge port for guiding the cut-half medicine. The cover 11 is used to carry the motor 13, and the output shaft of the motor 13 controls the rotation of the gear sleeve 12 installed at the bottom of the medicine half-slicing structure through a gear transmission structure. The lower end of the slicing medicine box upper cover 11 is installed with a slicing medicine box bottom cover 14. The medicine half-slicing structure includes a slicing medicine core top cover 3 for controlling the movement of the tablets and a transmission column 4 installed at the lower end of the slicing medicine core top cover 3 through a bearing. A receiving groove 20 for receiving tablets is provided on the edge of the slicing medicine core top cover 3. A cutting splint 5 is provided on the inner side of the slicing medicine core top cover 3, and a slicing knife 6 is connected to the groove of the cutting splint 5 through an auxiliary spring 7. The slicing knife 6 is used to press the tablets after being pressed by the transmission column 4. The lower end of the slicing knife 6 is installed with a slicing medicine core base 8, and A discharge notch 10 for discharging split tablets is provided on the slicing core base 8. The cross section of the transmission column 4 is set to a circular structure, and three transmission columns 4 are evenly distributed at equal angles on the bottom of the slicing core top cover 3. The slicing knife 6 is set to a sheet structure, and the blade end of the slicing knife 6 moves toward the outside direction of the cutter splint 5 for pressing and cutting the tablets. The slicing knife 6 forms an elastic telescopic structure with the cutter splint 5 through an auxiliary spring 7, and the surface profile of the slicing knife 6 near one end of the center direction of the cutter splint 5 is set to an arc shape. A core cutter baffle 9 is installed on the slicing core base 8 below the slicing knife 6. The gear transmission structure includes a small gear mounted on the output shaft of the motor 13 and a large gear mounted on the gear sleeve 12. The wheel, the small gear on the output shaft of the motor 13 and the large gear on the gear sleeve 12 form an engaged transmission structure, the slicing knife 6 is located above the discharge notch 10 opened on the edge of the slicing medicine core base 8, and the tablets split at the lower half of the slicing knife 6 can be discharged through the discharge notch 10 first, while the tablets split at the upper half of the slicing knife 6 can continue to rotate further with the slicing medicine core top cover 3, and subsequently discharged from the discharge notch 10, forming a time difference in discharging the split tablets. The discharge port on the slicing medicine box upper cover 11 is set to an inclined structure, and the discharge port corresponds to the discharge notch 10 on the slicing medicine core base 8. A baffle 16 is installed on the right side of the tablet storage box 1, and a separator 17 is embedded in the groove on the baffle 16.
[0031] When it is necessary to cut the tablets in half, the tablets are placed in the tablet storage box 1, and the tablets in the tablet storage box 1 enter the receiving groove 20 at the edge of the slicing medicine core top cover 3, and the motor 13 is turned on. After the motor 13 is turned on, the gear transmission structure can be used to rotate the gear sleeve 12. Because the gear sleeve 12 is fixed to the lower end of the slicing medicine core top cover 3, the rotation of the gear sleeve 12 can make the slicing medicine core top cover 3 rotate synchronously. After the slicing medicine core top cover 3 rotates, it can drive the tablets in the receiving groove 20 to rotate synchronously. After the tablets are rotated, they come into contact with the slicing knife 6, and the slicing knife 6 can be used to slide and split the tablets. At the same time, the rotation of the slicing medicine core top cover 3 can make the transmission column 4 rotate. When the transmission column 4 rotates and comes into contact with the arc-shaped end of the slicing knife 6, the slicing knife 6 can be squeezed by the transmission column 4, thereby pushing The movable slicing knife 6 moves toward the direction of the tablet, thereby realizing the compression and cutting of the tablet, and utilizing the dividing piece 17 on the side baffle 16 of the tablet storage box 1 to separate the tablets, ensuring that each tablet passing through the slicing knife 6 is single, and the tablet split by the slicing knife 6 is divided into two halves, and the tablet below the slicing knife 6 falls directly into the discharge notch 10 on the slicing medicine core base 8, and the tablet on the slicing knife 6 continues to rotate with the slicing medicine core base 8 until the tablet and the slicing knife 6 are misaligned with each other and fall into the discharge notch 10, thereby making the time difference of the two halves of the tablet forming the discharge. When the slicing medicine core top cover 3 rotates, the transmission column 4 and the arc-shaped end of the slicing knife 6 are separated from each other, and the slicing knife 6 is reset and rebounded under the action of the auxiliary spring 7, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the slicing knife 6, which is convenient for the subsequent continuous segmentation of the tablets.
[0032] Example 2: The technical content disclosed in this embodiment is a further improvement made on the basis of the above-mentioned Example 1. The following technical content is disclosed in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, there are multiple through holes evenly distributed on the inclined surface of the medicine discharge port, and the inclined surface of the medicine discharge port corresponds to the powder collecting box 15 below. A label cover 18 is installed on the left side of the tablet storage box 1, and the label cover 18 is fastened by the fasteners on the tablet storage box 1. The label cover 18 is used to attach tablet information labels. A photoelectric control board is installed on the upper cover 11 of the slicing medicine box, and the photoelectric hole plate is used to integrate photoelectric sensors. A desiccant cover 19 for placing desiccant is installed on the inner side of the storage box cover 2.
[0033] An inclined medicine discharge port is provided on the upper cover 11 of the slicing medicine box. Through the correspondence between the medicine discharge port and the discharge notch 10 on the slicing medicine core base 8, when the split tablets pass through the discharge notch 10, they can slide onto the medicine discharge port, and the tablets can be guided by the medicine discharge port. There are multiple holes evenly distributed on the inclined surface of the medicine discharge port. When a tablet slides, the powder on the tablet falls through the holes into the powder collecting box 15 below, thereby completing the collection of the medicine powder. At the same time, the setting of the label cover 18 can facilitate the posting of tablet label information, which is convenient for subsequent query of tablet information. A photoelectric sensor is also provided on the upper cover 11 of the slicing medicine box. The photoelectric sensor can count the tablets dropped from the medicine discharge port or detect whether they are discharged. At the same time, the desiccant inside the desiccant cover 19 can ensure the dryness of the tablets inside the tablet storage box 1.
[0034] The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
