[0061] The current capsule vending machine needs to arrange the capsules (filled with a certain amount of coffee powder) in the magazine of the vending machine one by one and neatly when self-service selling capsules, and then the customer self-service purchases, the vending machine sends the capsules arranged neatly in the magazine out; the above arrangement causes the staff to arrange the capsules one by one and neatly in the magazine of the vending machine when replenishing, resulting in slow replenishment, especially in the case of large sales, frequent replenishment will occupy a lot of time; at the same time, the staff needs to spend effort to arrange the capsules, increasing the labor cost, and also easy to appear the situation of not neat arrangement, affecting the selling efficiency.

[0062] Based on this, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a kind of intelligent discharging device based on random sorting, including cylinder 1, storage bin 11, discharging bin 12 and the stirring assembly 2 movably arranged in discharging bin 12;Wherein, the setting of cylinder 1 is used to form storage bin 11, discharging bin 12 in its inside, in the height direction of cylinder 1, storage bin 11 is formed in the upper of cylinder 1, and storage bin 11 is used to store capsule 6, it can be understood that, the upper of storage bin 11 has replenishment port, and staff replenishes storage bin 11 through the replenishment port;Discharging bin 12 is formed in the lower of storage bin 11 and the bottom of storage bin 11 is communicated with the top of discharging bin 12, to store the capsule 6 in storage bin 11 by storage bin 11 into discharging bin 12, discharging bin 12 has the discharge port 521 connected to the outside;As Figure 3 As shown, stirring assembly 2 is movably arranged in discharging bin 12, when needing to discharge outward, stirring assembly 2 is controlled to move preset stroke in discharging bin 12, that is, the automatic and orderly discharge of capsule 6 to the outside through discharge port 521 can be realized;Considering the actual situation of selling, it can be understood that, when stirring assembly 2 moves preset stroke displacement in discharging bin 12, one capsule 6 is automatically discharged outward from discharge port 521.

[0063] In the embodiment, as shown, Figure 3 When staff replenishes, capsule 6 can be directly poured into storage bin 11, that is, the arrangement of capsule 6 in storage bin 11 can be arbitrary, and staff does not need to adjust;Capsule 6 entering storage bin 11 will enter discharging bin 12 through the communication position between storage bin 11 and discharging bin 12, when needing to discharge outward, stirring assembly 2 is controlled to act in discharging bin 12, with the action of stirring assembly 2, capsule 6 entering discharging bin 12 will move in discharging bin 12, so that when stirring assembly 2 moves preset stroke displacement in discharging bin 12, one capsule 6 in discharging bin 12 is discharged outward through the discharge port 521 in the bottom of discharging bin 12, thereby completing the automatic discharge process.

[0064] It can be understood that, when stirring assembly 2 moves preset stroke displacement in discharging bin 12 with capsule 6, capsule 6 completes automatic discharge outward, that is, when stirring assembly 2 moves preset stroke displacement in discharging bin 12 each time, one capsule 6 can be driven to move to the position corresponding to discharge port 521;When capsule 6 moves in the area deviated from the position of discharge port 521 in discharging bin 12 under the action of stirring assembly 2, capsule 6 will not be discharged outward, but move synchronously with the action of stirring assembly 2, so that when stirring assembly 2 drives capsule 6 to move to the position corresponding to discharge port 521 in discharging bin 12, capsule 6 completes discharge outward from discharge port 521 under the action of its own gravity.

[0065] In this embodiment, the staff can directly pour the capsules 6 into the storage bin 11 when replenishing, and there is no need to arrange the capsules 6 one by one in sequence, which significantly improves the replenishment efficiency of the capsules 6, reduces the labor intensity of the staff, and reduces the labor cost. The replenishment method based on the intelligent discharging device of the random sorting in this application can significantly shorten the time required for replenishment, and can significantly improve the sales efficiency during the sales peak period.

[0066] In this embodiment, the capsule 6 is a coffee product that seals coffee powder in a small capsule, that is, a pre-packaged coffee form. The core is to seal coffee powder in a small, disposable capsule, which is usually made of plastic, aluminum foil or other materials, which can effectively maintain the freshness and flavor of coffee. The shape of the capsule 6 can be cylindrical, capsule-shaped or other shapes to meet different market demands and design requirements.

[0067] In this embodiment, the barrel 1 can be a translucent pipe to facilitate real-time observation of the state of the capsules 6 in the discharge bin and the discharge bin 12. By observing the flow of the capsules 6, potential blockages or poor discharging can be discovered in time, so that measures can be taken in advance to avoid machine failure. At the same time, maintenance personnel can quickly locate the position of the blocked capsules 6 through the translucent barrel 1 to facilitate the convenience and efficiency of subsequent maintenance. For example, the material of the barrel 1 can be polycarbonate (PC) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, i.e. acrylic), which has good transparency and heat resistance.

[0068] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 In an embodiment of the present application, the stirring assembly 2 is rotatably installed in the discharge bin 12, and the rotation axis of the stirring assembly 2 extends along the height direction of the barrel 1, that is, the stirring assembly 2 is rotatably installed in the discharge bin 12 along the horizontal direction. When the stirring assembly 2 rotates by a predetermined angle in the discharge bin 12, it drives the capsules 6 to move in the discharge bin 12 to a position corresponding to the discharge port 521, thereby realizing the process of discharging the capsules 6 outward from the discharge port 521.

[0069] It can be understood that the stirring assembly 2 can drive one of the capsules 6 dropped from the storage bin 11 into the discharge bin 12 to move to a position corresponding to the discharge port 521 and make the capsule 6 moved to the position of the discharge port 521 complete discharging downward through the discharge port 521 every time it rotates by a certain angle in the discharge bin 12. The other capsules 6 that have not moved to the position of the discharge port 521 will not be discharged.

[0070] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 5 ,Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the material stirring assembly 2 comprises a rotating disc 21 and a material falling channel 22; wherein the rotating disc 21 is rotatably arranged in the material falling bin 12, and in the height direction of the cylinder 1, the material falling bin 12 is divided into a first chamber 121 and a second chamber 122; wherein the first chamber 121 is located above the second chamber 122, the first chamber 121 is in communication with the storage bin 11, and a discharge port 521 is formed at the bottom of the second chamber 122; when the staff replenishes the storage bin 11, part of the capsules 6 entering the storage bin 11 will first enter the first chamber 121 in communication with the storage bin 11, at this time, part of the capsules 6 entering the first chamber 121 are located on the upper surface of the rotating disc 21; the rotating disc 21 is provided with the material falling channel 22, and the material falling channel 22 is used to realize the communication between the first chamber 121 and the second chamber 122, so that the capsules 6 entering the first chamber 121 enter the second chamber 122 through the material falling channel 22; as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the material falling channel 22 at least partially extends into the second chamber 122, so as to realize the synchronous movement of the capsules 6 entering the second chamber 122 through the material falling channel 22 during the rotation of the rotating disc 21; the setting position of the discharge port 521 is on the track of the material falling channel 22 rotating with the rotating disc 21, so as to realize that when the rotating disc 21 drives the material falling channel 22 to rotate by a preset angle in the material falling bin 12, the capsules 6 are driven to move to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521, so as to complete automatic discharging.

[0071] It can be understood that the radial dimension of the material falling channel 22 should be greater than the size of the capsule 6, so as to ensure that the capsule 6 can smoothly move in the material falling channel 22 and fall downward; when the staff replenishes the storage bin 11, part of the capsules 6 will first enter the first chamber 121 and fall on the upper surface of the rotating disc 21; when the rotating disc 21 rotates in the material falling bin 12, the capsules 6 falling on the upper surface of the rotating disc 21 will produce relative displacement with the upper surface of the rotating disc 21, so that the capsules 6 falling on the upper surface of the rotating disc 21 enter the material falling channel 22 and fall downward through the material falling channel 22 into the second chamber 122; as Figure 3As shown, the bottom of the dropping channel 22 extends at least partially into the second chamber 122, so that when the capsule 6 falls into the second chamber 122 from the dropping channel 22, at least part of the capsule 6 is still in the dropping channel 22 in the height direction of the cylinder 1 (the side of the capsule 6 away from the storage bin 11 is pressed against the bottom wall of the second chamber 122, and the side toward the storage bin 11 is at least partially located in the corresponding dropping channel 22), thereby realizing that the capsule 6 falling into the second chamber 122 is moved synchronously by the dropping channel 22 when the rotating disc 21 rotates; so that when the rotating disc 21 rotates to a predetermined angle, that is, with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, the capsule 6 in the second chamber 122 and at least partially in the dropping channel 22 is rotated to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521, so that the capsule 6 automatically falls downward through the discharge port 521, thereby completing the automatic discharging process of the capsule 6.

[0072] In this embodiment, since the discharge port 521 is arranged on the trajectory of the dropping channel 22 with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, the capsule 6 falling into the second chamber 122 is moved to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521 under the driving action of the dropping channel 22, and then falls downward through the discharge port 521; it can be understood that the radial dimension of the discharge port 521 should be greater than the size of the capsule 6, so as to ensure that the capsule 6 can be moved to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521 with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, and then can be smoothly discharged downward from the discharge port 521.

[0073] It can be understood that the upper part of the dropping channel 22 in the present application should not be higher than the upper surface of the rotating disc 21, that is, the upper surface of the dropping channel 22 should be flush with the upper surface of the rotating disc 21, so as not to affect the capsule 6 falling on the upper surface of the rotating disc 21 to enter the dropping channel 22 and fall downward into the second chamber 122 through the dropping channel 22.

[0074] In the embodiment, the blanking channels 22 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of blanking channels 22 are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the rotating disc 21, and the arc distance between the adjacent two blanking channels 22 is the same; the discharge port 521 is located on the track of the plurality of blanking channels 22 along with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, and thus the setting can improve the efficiency of the outward discharge of the discharging device; it can be understood that when the capsules 6 fall into the first chamber 121 from the storage bin 11 and fall on the upper surface of the rotating disc 21, with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, the plurality of capsules 6 will fall into the second chamber 122 through the corresponding blanking channels 22, and the capsules 6 falling into the second chamber 122 are at least partially located in the blanking channels 22 corresponding thereto on the side away from the storage bin 11 and are pressed against the bottom wall of the second chamber 122 on the side facing the storage bin 11; with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, when the rotating disc 21 rotates by a preset angle in the discharging bin 12, in the direction of the rotation of the rotating disc 21, one of the capsules 6 closest to the discharge port 521 is moved to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521, and the capsule 6 is discharged downward through the discharge port 521; then the rotating disc 21 is controlled to continue to rotate by a preset angle in the same direction, so that one of the capsules 6 at the rear is moved to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521 again, and the downward discharging process is completed; the subsequent process is the same as above, that is, continuous discharging can be realized.

[0075] It can be understood that in the above process, with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, the capsules 6 on the upper surface of the rotating disc 21 will fall into the blanking channels 22 again and move synchronously in the second chamber 122 with the rotation of the rotating disc 21 (thus realizing the replenishment into the blanking channels 22) because there is no capsule 6 in the blanking channels 22 which have completed discharging first (that is, the blanking channels 22 which have already passed the discharge port 521); thus, with the continuous rotation of the rotating disc 21, the capsules 6 can be sequentially and intermittently discharged outward from the discharge port 521, and the automatic discharging process can be realized.

[0076] In the embodiment, during the rotation of the rotating disc 21, there are the following two cases:

[0077] The first case: there is a capsule 6 in the blanking channel 22, and the capsule 6 moves synchronously in the second chamber 122 with the rotation of the rotating disc 21 under the action of the blanking channel 22; thus, when the rotating disc 21 drives the capsule 6 to move to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521, the capsule 6 is discharged downward from the discharge port 521; that is, as long as there is a capsule 6 in the blanking channel 22, the rotating disc 21 can drive the capsule 6 in the corresponding blanking channel 22 to complete the discharging process downward through the discharge port 521 every time the rotating disc 21 rotates by a preset angle.

[0078] The second situation: there is no capsule 6 in the blanking channel 22, that is, when the turntable 21 rotates in the discharge bin 12, the capsule 6 located in the first chamber 121 does not enter the blanking channel 22 (limited by the arrangement of the capsule 6 in the first chamber 121), and falls into the second chamber 122 through the blanking channel 22; in this case, when the turntable 21 drives the corresponding blanking channel 22 to move above the discharge port 521, no capsule 6 will be discharged through the discharge port 521. At this time, a detection component needs to be set at a position below the discharge port 521 to detect whether there is a capsule to be discharged downward; specifically, a photoelectric sensor 9 can be set below the discharge port 521. The photoelectric sensor 9 includes a light emitter and a light receiver. The light emitter and the light receiver are arranged at intervals so that the interval between the two forms a channel for the capsule 6 to fall; when a capsule 6 falls from the discharge port When discharging from the material port 521, the capsule 6 will block the light signal between the light emitter and the light receiver during the discharging process, thereby judging whether there is a capsule 6 being discharged; if the turntable 21 rotates a preset angle in the discharge bin 12, the photoelectric sensor 9 detects that the light signal is blocked, it indicates that a capsule 6 has completed discharging; if the turntable 21 rotates a preset angle in the discharge bin 12, the photoelectric sensor 9 does not detect that the light signal is blocked, it indicates that no capsule 6 has completed discharging, that is, there is no capsule 6 in the blanking channel 22 when it rotates to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521; at this time, the control turntable 21 continues to rotate in the discharge bin 12 (rotates the same angle), if it is detected that the light signal is blocked, it indicates that the discharging process is completed, if the light signal is still not detected to be blocked, continue to control the turntable 21 to rotate the same angle in the discharge bin 12 until a capsule 6 is completed from the discharge port 521.

[0079] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, in the height direction of the cylinder 1, a mounting hole 211 is penetrated on the turntable 21; the material-selecting assembly 2 also includes a blanking barrel 221, and the blanking barrel 221 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole 211. In the height direction of the cylinder 1, both ends of the blanking barrel 221 are penetrated, so that the space in the blanking barrel 221 constitutes the above-mentioned blanking channel 22; in the height direction of the cylinder 1, the bottom of the blanking barrel 221 at least partially extends into the second chamber 122 to drive the capsule 6 to move in the second chamber 122, and the upper end of the blanking barrel 221 remains flush with the upper surface of the turntable 21 to avoid affecting the capsule 6 dropped on the upper surface of the turntable 21 from entering the blanking channel 22.

[0080] In the embodiment, the blanking cylinder 221 can be provided with a plurality of blanking cylinders 221, when the blanking cylinder 221 is provided with a plurality of blanking cylinders 221, the plurality of blanking cylinders 221 should be arranged equidistantly around the circumference of the rotating disc 21, so that the arc length between the adjacent two blanking cylinders 221 remains consistent, thereby realizing that when the rotating disc 21 rotates by a predetermined angle in the blanking bin 12, the corresponding blanking cylinder 221 can drive the capsule 6 to move to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521, and realize the effect of automatic discharging.

[0081] It can be understood that, in order to be able to drive the capsule 6 falling in the second chamber 122 to move synchronously with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, thereby realizing the movement of the capsule 6 falling in the second chamber 122 to the discharge port 521 and completing the discharging process; when the blanking cylinder 221 is arranged, the bottom of the blanking cylinder 221 should be at least partially extended downward from the mounting hole 211 into the second chamber 122, and when the capsule 6 falls into the second chamber 122 through the blanking passage 22, the capsule 6 is at least partially still in the blanking cylinder 221 towards one end of the storage bin 11, thereby realizing that with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, the capsule 6 falling in the second chamber 122 can be synchronously driven by the cylinder wall of the blanking cylinder 221 to move in the second chamber 122; for example, the bottom of the blanking cylinder 221 can be arranged at a distance from the bottom wall of the second chamber 122, and the size of the distance should satisfy: when the capsule 6 falls into the second chamber 122 from the blanking passage 22, the capsule 6 is at least partially still in the blanking cylinder 221 towards one side of the storage bin 11.

[0082] In the embodiment, the blanking cylinder 221 and the rotating disc 21 can be integrally arranged, or can be separately arranged and connected and fixed by fasteners or clamping members; as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 It is shown that a mounting mode of clamping connection and fixation between the blanking cylinder 221 and the rotating disc 21 is provided; as shown in Figure 8As shown, the extension part 2111 is arranged on the circumferential side inner wall of the mounting hole 211 at the end close to the storage bin 11, and extends slightly towards the axial center line direction of the mounting hole 211, and a plurality of extension parts 2111 are arranged at intervals to form a first gap 2112 between two adjacent extension parts 2111; a plurality of second gaps 2113 are arranged at intervals on the circumferential side inner wall of the mounting hole 211 away from the storage bin 11, and the second gap 2113 penetrates the hole wall of the mounting hole 211 along the radial direction of the mounting hole 211, and a clamping plate 2114 is arranged in the second gap 2113, the clamping plate 2114 includes a transition part 2114a fixedly connected to the top of the second gap 2113, and a clamping inclined block 2114b connected to the bottom end of the transition part 2114a, and the clamping inclined block 2114b is at least partially located in the mounting hole 211; as Figure 9 As shown, the side of the clamping inclined block 2114b close to the extension part 2111 has a flat surface, and Figure 8 As shown, the side of the clamping inclined block 2114b away from the extension part 2111 has an inclined surface; as Figure 9 As shown, a plurality of protruding parts 2212 are arranged at intervals on the upper end surface of the blanking cylinder 221, and the size of the protruding part 2212 is matched with the size of the first gap 2112, and a third gap 2213 is arranged on the cylinder wall of the blanking cylinder 221, and the third gap 2213 penetrates the cylinder wall of the blanking cylinder 221 along the radial direction of the blanking cylinder 221; in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the mounting hole 211 is consistent with the outer diameter of the blanking cylinder 221, and when the blanking cylinder 221 is installed, the blanking cylinder 221 is driven to enter the mounting hole 211 from bottom to top, so that the upper end surface of the blanking cylinder 221 will first contact the inclined surface of the clamping inclined block 2114b, at this time, the blanking cylinder 221 is forced to continue to move upward, and under the guidance of the inclined surface, the transition part 2114a connected to the clamping inclined block 2114b is slightly deformed, and the clamping inclined block 2114b is driven to exit from the mounting hole 211, thereby enabling the blanking cylinder 221 to enter the mounting hole 211, so that the upper end surface of the blanking cylinder 221 moves to abut against the lower surface of the extension part 2111, at this time, the third gap 2213 arranged on the blanking cylinder 221 is just moved to the position corresponding to the clamping inclined block 2114b, then the clamping inclined block 2114b is no longer abutted by the blanking cylinder 221, thereby enabling the transition part 2114a to restore the deformation and drive the clamping inclined block 2114b to be inserted into the third gap 2213, as Figure 7As shown, the flat surface formed on the upper surface of the clamping bevel 2114b is pressed into contact with the side wall of the third notch 2213 toward the first notch 2112; thereby, in the axial direction of the mounting hole 211, the blanking barrel 221 is positioned by the cooperation of the extension portion 2111 and the clamping plate 2114; in the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 211, the blanking barrel 221 is positioned by the cooperation of the protrusion 2212 and the first notch 2112; thereby, the blanking barrel 221 is installed and fixed in the mounting hole 211.

[0083] It is understood that the distance that the extension portion 2111 extends toward the axial centerline of the mounting hole 211 should be greater than the wall thickness of the blanking barrel 221. Thus, when the blanking barrel 221 is installed in the mounting hole 211, the wall of the blanking barrel 221 can be shielded by the extension portion 2111, thereby not hindering the capsule 6 from falling from the upper surface of the turntable 21 into the blanking channel 22.

[0084] In this embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, a downwardly extending annular cylinder (not numbered in the figure) is provided at the bottom of the turntable 21 , and both ends of the annular cylinder are penetrated in the height direction of the cylinder body 1 , thereby making the internal space of the annular cylinder constitute the above-mentioned mounting hole 211 .

[0085] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the intelligent discharging device based on random sorting further includes a stopper 3, which is fixed in the second chamber 122; in the height direction of the cylinder 1, the stopper 3 is at least located above the discharge port 521, and is used to stop the capsule 6 from being discharged directly from the discharge channel 22 through the discharge port 521; since the discharge port 521 is located on the rotation trajectory of the discharge channel 22 along the turntable 21, in order to prevent the capsule 6 in the first chamber 121 from being discharged directly downward from the discharge channel 22 and the discharge port 521 without control; Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, a stopper 3 is provided at a position directly above the discharge port 521, and the stopper 3 is fixedly arranged in the second chamber 122, so that when a certain blanking channel 22 drives the capsule 6 to move to a position corresponding to the discharge port 521, and the capsule 6 is discharged downward from the discharge port 521 (at this time, there is no capsule 6 in the blanking channel 22), the capsule 6 located in the first chamber 121 will enter the blanking channel 22, and will be blocked by the stopper 3 (will not continue to fall downward in the blanking channel 22) and will not be discharged downward directly through the blanking channel 22 and the discharge port 521.

[0086] It can be understood that the rotation speed of the rotating disc 21 in the barrel 1 is relatively slow to ensure the smooth and reliable operation of the discharging process; when one of the dropping barrels 221 drives the corresponding capsule 6 to move to the discharging port 521, the capsule 6 in the dropping barrel 221 is discharged downward from the discharging port 521, and the capsule 6 located in the first chamber 121 and on the upper surface of the rotating disc 21 will fall into the dropping barrel 221 (thus achieving the replenishment of the dropping barrel 221); due to the slow rotation speed of the rotating disc 21, there is a situation that the newly replenished capsule 6 is directly discharged downward from the dropping channel 22 and the discharging port 521, and thus the arrangement of the stop piece 3 can just avoid the above situation.

[0087] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The stop piece 3 is installed in the second chamber 122, and the distance between the stop piece 3 and the bottom wall of the second chamber 122 should be greater than the height of the capsule 6, so that when the rotating disc 21 rotates and synchronously moves the corresponding capsule 6 in the second chamber 122 through the dropping barrel 221, the stop piece 3 arranged directly above the discharging port 521 will not hinder the synchronous movement of the capsule 6 with the dropping barrel 221, and when it moves to the position corresponding to the discharging port 521, it is discharged downward through the discharging port 521; as shown in Figure 9 In order to avoid the dropping barrel 221 being hindered by the stop piece 3 during the rotation of the rotating disc 21, an avoiding hole 2211 for avoiding the stop piece 3 can be arranged on the barrel wall of the dropping barrel 221, and the avoiding hole 2211 is arranged through the dropping barrel 221 along the radial direction of the dropping barrel 221, so that when the dropping barrel 221 rotates with the rotating disc 21, the avoiding hole 2211 arranged on the barrel wall of the dropping barrel 221 is used to avoid the stop piece 3 fixedly installed in the second chamber 122, so that the arrangement of the stop piece 3 does not hinder the rotation of the dropping barrel 221 with the rotating disc 21; for example, the third gap 2213 can be arranged in communication with the avoiding hole 2211.

[0088] In order to further improve the controllability of the capsule 6 discharging, as shown in Figure 10 The stop piece 3 can be divided into a first stop portion 31 and a second stop portion 32 according to different positions, the first stop portion 31 is located directly above the discharging port 521, so that the first stop portion 31 avoids the newly replenished capsule 6 from being directly discharged downward through the dropping channel 22 and the discharging port 521; and the second stop portion 32 is located behind the discharging port 521 (that is, in the direction of rotation of the rotating disc 21, the position behind the discharging port 521, as shown in Figure 10 ​As shown, the dashed arrow points to the rotating direction of the bit rotating disc 21), if there are two capsules 6 in the material dropping channel 22, that is, the capsule 6 at the lower part presses against the bottom wall of the second chamber 122, and there is another capsule 6 above it (part of the capsule 6 is located in the material dropping channel 22, and part of it is located in the first chamber 121), when it moves to the position where the second stop 32 is located along with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, the capsule 6 at the upper part and the capsule 6 at the lower part are separated under the action of the second stop 32, that is, the capsule 6 at the upper part in the same material dropping channel 22 will be clamped between the second stop 32 and the inner wall of the material dropping cylinder 221 when it rotates to contact the second stop 32, and when the material dropping cylinder 221 rotates to the position corresponding to the discharge port 521 along with the rotating disc 21, the capsule 6 at the lower part is discharged downward through the discharge port 521, while the capsule 6 at the upper part is clamped in the material dropping cylinder 221 under the action of the second stop 32 and will not be discharged downward through the discharge port 521, thereby further improving the controllability of the capsule 6 discharge.

[0089] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 10 The position of the stop piece 3 should meet the following conditions: when the corresponding material dropping cylinder 221 rotates to the stop piece 3 along with the rotating disc 21, at this time, in the height direction of the cylinder body 1, the material dropping channel 22 is divided into two parts by the stop piece 3, one part is the area close to the axial center line of the rotating disc 21 (set as area a), and the other part is the area close to the circumferential edge of the rotating disc 21 (set as area b); if there are two capsules 6 in the material dropping channel 22, then the capsule 6 at the upper part will be clamped in area b (that is, clamped between the second stop 32 and the inner wall of the material dropping cylinder 221) when it moves to the position of the second stop 32 along with the material dropping cylinder 221, therefore, when setting the position of the stop piece 3, the area b should occupy a larger proportion of the material dropping channel 22 (but it should also be ensured that the maximum radial distance of the area b is smaller than the radial dimension of the capsule 6, so as to ensure that the capsule 6 at the upper part can be clamped between the second stop 32 and the inner wall of the material dropping cylinder 221), so as to avoid that the capsule 6 is excessively squeezed when it is clamped between the second stop 32 and the inner wall of the material dropping cylinder 221, thereby reducing the deformation amount of the capsule 6 at the upper part due to squeezing as much as possible; with the continuous rotation of the rotating disc 21, the clamped capsule 6 moves to the position of the first stop 31, and is clamped between the first stop 31 and the inner wall of the material dropping cylinder 221; at this time, the capsule 6 at the lower part is directly discharged downward through the discharge port 521 (realizing discharge), while the capsule 6 at the upper part will not fall downward because it is clamped; with the continuous rotation of the rotating disc 21, after the capsule 6 at the upper part completely passes the stop piece 3, at this time, the capsule 6 is no longer squeezed, and falls downward in the material dropping channel 22 (falls on the bottom wall of the second chamber 122), and with the rotation of the rotating disc 21, it is driven by the material dropping cylinder 221 to move synchronously in the second chamber 122.

[0090] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 In order to be able to support the capsule 6 stuck in the b zone, a boss 2214 is arranged on the bottom of the blanking cylinder 221 and the cylinder wall away from the axial center line position of the rotating disc 21, the boss 2214 extends towards the axial direction of the blanking cylinder 221 (the extension distance should not be too long, so as not to affect the movement of the capsule 6 in the blanking passage 22), as shown in Figure 10 When the capsule 6 above is stuck in the b zone, the boss 2214 arranged at the bottom can achieve a certain support for the stuck capsule 6; it can be understood that the boss 2214 can be formed by bending part of the cylinder wall of the blanking cylinder 221 towards the axial direction of the blanking cylinder 221.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first stop portion 31 and the second stop portion 32 constituting the stop piece 3 are integrally connected and arranged, and the stop piece 3 can be a wire (steel wire) with a certain hardness.

[0092] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 12 In an embodiment of the present application, the intelligent discharging device based on random sorting further comprises a flexible stirring piece 4, which is arranged in the first chamber 121 and extends along the height direction of the cylinder body 1. The upper end of the flexible stirring piece 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage bin 11, so that the flexible stirring piece 4 is fixed relative to the rotating disc 21 when the rotating disc 21 rotates in the discharging bin 12.

[0093] In this embodiment, by arranging the flexible stirring piece 4, the capsule 6 falling from the storage bin 11 into the first chamber 121 can be stirred, so that it can be stirred into the blanking passage 22 from the upper surface of the rotating disc 21, thereby making the capsule 6 falling into the first chamber 121 more easily enter into the corresponding blanking passage 22.

[0094] It can be understood that the flexible stirring piece 4 can be a spring, which has a certain flexibility, that is, it can stir the capsule 6 in the first chamber 121, and at the same time can avoid damaging the capsule 6 during stirring.

[0095] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 12As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the intelligent discharging device based on random sorting further comprises a supporting plate structure 5, which comprises a first supporting plate 51 and a second supporting plate 52; wherein the first supporting plate 51 is arranged in the cylinder 1 and is arranged above the rotating disc 21 at intervals; the second supporting plate 52 is arranged in the cylinder 1 and is arranged below the rotating disc 21 at intervals, and a discharging port 521 is formed on the second supporting plate 52; the space in the cylinder 1 between the first supporting plate 51 and the second supporting plate 52 forms a discharging bin 12, and the space in the cylinder 1 above the first supporting plate 51 forms a storage bin 11, such as Figure 12 As shown, the first supporting plate 51 is provided with a discharging port 511 which is communicated with the storage bin 11 and the discharging bin 12.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first supporting plate 51 and the second supporting plate 52 are fixedly installed in the cylinder 1, and the first supporting plate 51 is provided with a discharging port 511 which is communicated with the storage bin 11 and the discharging bin 12; for example, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the discharging port 511 is arranged at the center position of the first supporting plate 51; in this embodiment, the radial dimension of the discharging port 511 should not be too large, because too large will cause a large number of capsules 6 to fall into the discharging bin 12 (i.e. the first bin chamber 121), so that a large number of capsules 6 are stacked in the first bin chamber 121, which will cause blockage and is not conducive to discharging; at the same time, the radial dimension of the discharging port 511 should not be too small, too small will cause poor discharging; in this embodiment, the radial dimension of the discharging port 511 is preferably about the radial dimension of two capsules 6.

[0097] In this embodiment, the intelligent discharging device based on random sorting further comprises a top cover assembly 8, wherein the top cover assembly 8 is arranged above the cylinder 1 and is used for opening or closing the replenishment port; for example, the top cover assembly 8 comprises a top frame 81 and a top cover 82 which is rotatably installed on the top frame 81, wherein the top frame 81 is fixedly connected with the upper end of the cylinder 1, for example, can be connected and fixed by fasteners (such as screws); a locking plate 821 is rotatably arranged on the side of the top cover 82 facing the top frame 81, such as Figure 4 As shown, a lock 822 (the locking plate 821 and the lock 822 are cooperatively arranged) is arranged on the side of the top cover 82 away from the top frame 81, so as to realize that the key is inserted into the lock 822 and drives the locking plate 821 to rotate relative to the top cover 82, when the upper end surface of the locking plate 821 abuts against the lower end surface of the top frame 81, the locking of the top cover 82 is realized, and when the locking plate 821 moves outward from the lower end surface of the top frame 81, the top cover 82 is unlocked.

[0098] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the bottom of the top frame 81 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 14, the other end of the connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected with the first supporting plate 51, thereby achieving the fixed installation of the first supporting plate 51 in the barrel 1. Exemplarily, the connection among the connecting rod 14, the top frame 81 and the first supporting plate 51 is achieved by fasteners (e.g. screws).

[0099] In this embodiment, the intelligent dispensing device based on random sorting further comprises a base barrel 13, the bottom of the barrel 1 is fixedly installed on the base barrel 13, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the second supporting plate 52 is arranged at the connecting position between the bottom of the barrel 1 and the base barrel 13; as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a taking opening 131 is arranged on one side of the base barrel 13, for the customer to take away the capsule 6 after dispensing; as shown in Figure 3 As shown, in the base barrel 13 and on both sides of the dispensing opening 521, there are respectively installed plates 132, wherein the upper end of the installed plate 132 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second supporting plate 52; the light receiver and the light emitter are respectively arranged on the corresponding installed plate 132, wherein the light emitter is arranged on one installed plate 132 and the light receiver is arranged on the other installed plate 132. The photoelectric sensor 9 is connected with a control module. The space between the two installed plates 132 constitutes a dispensing channel 133. Thus, when the capsule 6 is dispensed downward from the dispensing opening 521, the capsule 6 will block the transmission of the light signal during the falling process in the dispensing channel 133. The control module judges whether the capsule 6 is dispensed according to whether the light signal is interrupted. According to the number of times of interruption of the light signal, the dispensing amount of the capsule 6 and whether the required dispensing amount is reached are judged.

[0100] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, a driving member, such as a motor 10, is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second supporting plate 52. The motor 10 can be a speed reducer motor 10 (a device for converting the high speed and low torque output of an electric motor into low speed and high torque output). The driving shaft 101 of the motor 10 penetrates upward through the second supporting plate 52 and is fixedly connected with the rotating disc 21, thereby achieving the rotation of the rotating disc 21 in the dispensing bin 12 at a preset speed. Figure 3 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 As shown, a supporting barrel 522 is coaxially fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second supporting plate 52. One end of the stop member 3 is fixedly wound on the circumferential sidewall of the supporting barrel 522; as shown in Figure 10 That is, the second stop portion 32 is fixedly wound on the circumferential sidewall of the supporting barrel; as shown in Figure 11As shown, an annular groove for winding installation of the second stop portion 32 can be arranged at the circumferential side wall position of the supporting table, in order to further improve the installation stability of the stop piece 3, a fastener can be adopted to fix the second stop portion 32 in the annular groove, the fastener can be arranged in various ways, if a screw is pressed or a pin hole is arranged in the annular groove along the radial direction of the supporting cylinder 522, and the end of the second stop portion 32 away from the first stop portion 31 is inserted into the above-mentioned pin hole, and then the second stop portion 32 is wound in the annular groove.

[0101] It can be understood that the driving shaft 101 passes through the second supporting plate 52 and the supporting cylinder 522 in sequence from bottom to top, and the second supporting plate 52 and the supporting table are both provided with a hole structure for the driving shaft 101 to pass through.

[0102] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 12 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the first supporting plate 51 is formed with a slope 512 on the side away from the rotating disc 21, the slope 512 extends from the outer peripheral edge of the first supporting plate 51 to the discharge port 511 from top to bottom, the arrangement of the slope 512 enables the capsules 6 stored in the storage bin 11 to more easily move to the discharge port 511 and enter the first chamber 121 through the discharge port 511; for example, the inclination angle of the above-mentioned slope 512 can be 65°, which prevents the capsules 6 from being suspended in the storage bin 11 and being difficult to slide down due to the interaction force, so as to enable them to smoothly slide down.

[0103] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the intelligent discharging device based on random sorting further comprises a stirring piece 7, the stirring piece 7 comprises a stirring portion 71 and a connecting portion 72; wherein the stirring portion 71 is arranged in the storage bin 11, the stirring portion 71 is arranged parallel to the slope 512, and the stirring portion 71 is arranged in a spaced manner with the slope 512; one end of the connecting portion 72 is fixedly connected with the rotating disc 21 coaxially, and the other end extends into the storage bin 11 upward through the discharge port 511 and is fixedly connected with the stirring portion 71; thereby realizing that the stirring portion 71 is synchronously driven to rotate around the axial center line of the cylinder 1 in the storage bin 11 during the rotation of the rotating disc 21, for stirring the capsules 6 in the storage bin 11, so as to enable the capsules 6 in the storage bin 11 to more smoothly enter the discharge bin 12 from the storage bin 11 through the discharge port 511.

[0104] In the embodiment, in order to avoid that the capsules 6 are clamped between the stirring portion 71 and the slope 512 during the rotation of the stirring portion 71 in the storage bin 11, when the stirring portion 71 is arranged, the lower surface of the stirring portion 71 should be as close as possible to the slope 512, such as Figure 12As shown, in order to minimize the situation that the stirring part 71 is stuck between the stirring part 71 and the inclined surface 512 during stirring.

[0105] In this embodiment, in order to avoid damage to the capsule 6 caused by the stirring part 71 during stirring in the storage bin 11, a flexible sleeve 711, for example, a silica gel sleeve, can be sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the stirring part 71.
