[0011] Furthermore, the ratio of the diameter of the columnar discharge portion to the diameter of the columnar material is 1.1:1-1.9:1.

[0012] Furthermore, the height of the columnar material is a, and the height of the columnar discharge portion is A, satisfying: A=(x+0.5)a, wherein x is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0034] Example

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a sorting device for sorting and counting columnar materials 1 or capsule materials. Specifically, the sorting device includes a sorting container 2, an ejection mechanism 3 and a containing container 4. The sorting container 2 includes a feed portion 201, a columnar discharge portion 202 and a base 203 connected in sequence from top to bottom; a sorting channel 2011 extending in a vertical direction is provided on the feed portion 201 and the discharge portion, and the feed opening diameter of the feed portion 201 is larger than the diameter of the columnar discharge portion 202. A discharge channel 2031 extending in a horizontal direction is provided on the base 203, and the discharge channel 2031 and the sorting channel 2011 are connected to each other. The ejection mechanism 3 is fixed on the base 203, and the driving end of the ejection mechanism 3 extends into the discharge channel 2031, and a discharge push block 301 is fixed thereto; the ejection mechanism 3 drives the discharge push block 301 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the discharge channel 2031. A baffle 302 is fixed to the top of one side of the discharge push block 301 close to the ejection mechanism 3. The baffle 302 extends in the horizontal direction and fits with the channel opening of the sorting channel 2011. The containing container 4 is arranged below the sorting container 2 to collect the columnar material 1 pushed down by the discharge push block 301. The columnar material 1 vertically enters the sorting container 2, and under the influence of gravity, passes through the columnar discharge portion 202 from the feed portion 201 and falls into the discharge channel 2031 of the base 203. The columnar material 1 is accumulated in the feed portion 201 and the columnar discharge portion 202. The ejection mechanism 3 drives the material push block to push the columnar material 1 in the discharge channel 2031 to leave the base 203 and enter the containing container 4 below. During the pushing process, the baffle 302 moves to the channel opening of the sorting channel 2011, and the columnar material 1 in the sorting channel 2011 is pushed down. 011 is sealed to prevent the columnar material 1 in the sorting channel 2011 from falling into the discharge channel 2031, ensuring that only one columnar material 1 enters the container 4 during one pushing process. The number of columnar materials 1 in the container 4 can be accurately determined according to the number of actions of the ejection mechanism 3, so as to achieve the purpose of sorting and counting; at the same time, the container 4 can be placed on other conveying mechanisms such as a conveyor belt, and the container 4 can be replaced after the target number is reached, so as to achieve uninterrupted sorting and improve sorting efficiency. After one sorting action is completed, the columnar material 1 in the columnar discharge part 202 directly falls into the discharge channel 2031, effectively shortening the movement path of the material and improving the sorting efficiency.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the feed section 201 includes a vertical curved surface 2012 and an inclined curved surface 2013 connected on both sides, the vertical curved surface 2012 extends in the vertical direction, and the inclined curved surface 2013 is inclined inward from the side of the feed opening to the side of the columnar discharge section 202. Curved surfaces with different curvatures are arranged on both sides of the feed section 201, so that a path difference is formed between the paths of the columnar material 1 entering the feed section 201 at different positions, so as to prevent the columnar material 1 from falling to the connection position of the feed section 201 and the columnar discharge section 202 at the same time, thereby causing blockage and affecting the sorting process.

[0037] The ratio of the diameter of the columnar discharge part 202 to the diameter of the columnar material 1 is 1.1:1-1.9:1. In this embodiment, the ratio of the diameter of the columnar discharge part 202 to the diameter of the columnar material 1 is 1.3:1, so that the diameter of the columnar discharge part 202 is slightly larger than the diameter of the columnar material 1, ensuring that the columnar material 1 is arranged in a row in the columnar discharge part 202, so that it is convenient to fall into the discharge channel 2031 in sequence during the subsequent sorting process for orderly sorting. At the same time, it is avoided that there is excessive contact between the columnar discharge part 202 and the columnar material 1, which causes wear of the columnar material 1, affects the falling rate of the columnar material 1, and further affects the sorting efficiency. Furthermore, the diameter of the columnar discharge part 202 is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the columnar material 1. When the sorting action is in progress, the columnar discharge part 202 limits the columnar material 1 to prevent the columnar material 1 at the bottom of the columnar discharge part 202 from tilting as the discharge push block 301 moves forward, causing the bottom of the columnar discharge part 202 to be blocked, affecting the sorting process. Similarly, the ratio of the diameter of the columnar discharge part 202 to the diameter of the columnar material 1 can also be 1.1:1, 1.5:1 or 1.9:1. Different diameter ratios are set according to different columnar materials 1 to achieve better sorting effects.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the height of the columnar material 1 is a, and the height of the columnar discharge section 202 is A, which satisfies: A = (x + 0.5) a, where x is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. In this embodiment, x is equal to 1, that is, during the sorting process, the number of columnar materials 1 in the columnar discharge section 202 is 1.5, and the top of the columnar material 1 located at the top is still in the feed section 201, and abuts against the columnar material 1 accumulated in the feed section 201. During the next sorting process, the columnar material 1 located at the top falls to the bottom of the columnar discharge section 202, so that a columnar material 1 located in the feed section 201 can enter the columnar discharge section 202, so that during each sorting process, the position of the columnar material 1 at the connection position of the columnar discharge section 202 and the feed section 201 is adjusted, so as to further avoid the columnar material 1 from being blocked at the connection position of the columnar discharge section 202 and the feed section 201, thereby affecting the sorting process. Similarly, x can also be 2, 3, ... or other positive integers. In this embodiment, x is set to 1, which effectively reduces the height of the columnar discharge portion 202, thereby reducing the overall height of the sorting container 2.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the ejection mechanism 3 includes a shell 303 and an ejection rod 304, and the shell 303 is fixed to the base 203 through a fixing plate (not shown in the drawings). An ejection channel is provided on the shell 303, and one end of the ejection rod 304 passes through the ejection channel and extends into the discharge channel 2031, and is fixedly connected to the discharge push block 301. The other end of the ejection rod 304 protrudes from the ejection channel and is fixed with a push plate 305, and a reset member 306 is provided between the push plate 305 and the shell 303. The employee compresses the reset member 306 through the push plate 305, thereby pushing the discharge push block 301 to move, and sorting the columnar material 1 in the discharge channel 2031. The baffle 302 moves forward with the discharge push block 301 to seal the sorting channel 2011 to prevent the columnar material 1 from falling. The reset member 306 drives the ejector rod 304 to retreat and reset, thereby driving the baffle 302 to open the sorting channel 2011, so that the columnar material 1 at the bottom of the columnar discharge part 202 falls into the discharge channel 2031, waiting for the next sorting action. In this embodiment, the reset member 306 includes a spring, which is sleeved on the other end of the ejector rod 304, and the two ends of the spring are respectively in contact with the housing 303 and the push plate 305. Similarly, an electromagnet can be set on the ejector rod 304, and the ejector rod 304 can be controlled to move forward by powering on, so as to achieve automatic control of the ejection mechanism 3.

[0040] Specifically, the discharge push block 301 is provided with a receiving channel 3011 extending in the vertical direction, and the receiving channel 3011 has the same diameter as the columnar discharge portion 202. In the initial state, the discharge push block 301 is located below the columnar discharge portion 202, and the sorting channel 2011 is connected to the receiving channel 3011, ensuring that the columnar material 1 at the bottom of the columnar discharge portion 202 falls into the receiving channel 3011. The receiving channel 3011 limits the columnar material 1 to ensure that the columnar material 1 remains vertical during the sorting process, and prevents the columnar material 1 from tilting and blocking the discharge channel 2031, thereby affecting the sorting process. In the sorting state, the ejector rod 304 pushes the discharge push block 301 forward, and the discharge push block 301 drives the columnar material 1 forward to leave the base 203, and the columnar material 1 falls from the bottom of the discharge push block 301 into the container 4, completing the sorting.

[0041] In this embodiment, a stopper 2032 is fixed to the channel opening of the discharge channel 2031 near the ejection mechanism 3, and the stopper 2032 and the end of the baffle 302 abut against each other. The stopper 2032 limits the position of the baffle 302, thereby limiting the position of the discharge push block 301, ensuring that after the reset is completed, the position of the discharge push block 301 is more accurate, so that the columnar material 1 at the bottom of the columnar discharge part 202 can accurately fall into the accommodating channel 3011 and wait for the next sorting.

[0042] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
