[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of the present application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a capsule sorting device, comprising: a shell 1, a hopper 2, a dividing component 3, a conveyor belt 4, a scanning component 5 and a rejecting component 6. The interior of the shell 1 is hollow, the hopper 2 is connected to the shell 1, and the discharge end of the hopper 2 is communicated with the interior of the shell 1. The dividing component 3 is built in the shell 1 and has a feeding end and a discharging end. The feeding end of the dividing component 3 is communicated with the discharging end of the hopper 2 for discharging at intervals. The conveyor belt 4 is arranged relative to the discharging end of the dividing component 3 for transporting materials. The scanning component 5 is arranged on the conveying path of the material and is arranged relative to the material for scanning the material. The rejecting component 6 is connected to the conveyor belt 4 for rejecting unqualified materials.

[0029] In this device, the discharge end of the hopper 2 is connected to the interior of the shell 1, and the feed end of the dividing component 3 is connected to the discharge end of the hopper 2, so as to discharge the materials in intervals. The conveyor belt 4 is arranged relative to the discharge end of the dividing component 3 for transporting the materials. The scanning component 5 is arranged on the conveyor belt 4 and relative to the materials for scanning the materials. The rejection component 6 is arranged on the conveyor belt 4 for rejecting unqualified materials.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, by sequentially arranging the material dividing component 3 and the conveyor belt 4, the material is first output in intervals, and at the same time, the material is separated by the separation component and transported along the guide of the conveyor belt 4, and is inspected for qualification under the scanning of the scanning component 5, thereby extending the time for the material to pass through the scanning component 5, thereby improving the accuracy of the qualified detection, and can solve the technical problem in the prior art that the falling time of the capsule is short and the camera, image analysis host and sorting motor may not be able to quickly complete the relevant feedback action, resulting in misoperation.

[0031] Furthermore, in the present application, the cross-sectional area of ​​the material opening gradually decreases in the direction approaching the discharge end.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the material dividing assembly 3 includes a fixed cylinder 31 and a partition 32. The fixed cylinder 31 is arranged below the discharge end of the hopper 2, and is provided with a feed hole 311 and a discharge hole 312 relative to the discharge end of the hopper 2. The partition 32 is rotatably built into the fixed cylinder 31, and is used to connect the feed hole 311 and the discharge hole 312 so that the materials can fall out in intervals.

[0033] The material falling out from the discharge end of the hopper 2 enters the fixed cylinder 31 through the feed hole 311, and is discharged from the discharge hole 312 under the separation of the rotating partition 32, thereby realizing the material separation processing, so that the material falls out individually and intermittently, which can increase the time for the scanning component 5 to scan the material and reduce misoperation.

[0034] As an implementation method, Figure 4 As shown, the partition 32 includes a rotating block 321, at least two partitions 322 and a motor. The rotating block 321 is rotatably built in the fixed cylinder 31, and the rotation axis of the rotating block 321 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the fixed cylinder 31. At least two partitions 322 are spaced apart and built in the fixed cylinder 31, and are both connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 31 and the rotating plate, and are used to divide the fixed cylinder 31 into at least two mutually spaced accommodating cavities. The fixed end of the motor is connected to the fixed cylinder 31, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating block 321, and is used to drive the rotating block 321 and the at least two partitions 322 to rotate around the axis of the output shaft of the motor.

[0035] The rotating block 321 drives the partition plate 322 to rotate together, thereby continuously changing the position of the accommodating chamber relative to the feed hole 311 and the discharge hole 312. When the accommodating chamber is connected to the feed hole 311, the capsule enters the accommodating chamber from the feed hole 311. When the rotated accommodating chamber is connected to the discharge hole 312, the capsule leaks out from the discharge hole 312, thereby realizing the intermittent discharge of the capsule.

[0036] As another implementation method, Figure 4 As shown, the projected areas of the feed hole 311 and the discharge hole 312 are larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the accommodating cavity.

[0037] The projected areas of the feed hole 311 and the discharge hole 312 are larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the accommodating cavity, which can effectively prevent the capsules from being blocked when passing through the fixed cylinder 31, thereby ensuring smooth transportation of the capsules and improving the stability of the device operation.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor belt 4 is horizontally arranged below the fixed cylinder 31, and the feed end of the conveyor belt 4 is arranged relative to the discharge hole 312. The capsule sorting device also includes a first temporary storage box 7, which is built into the shell 1 and its interior is connected to the discharge end of the conveyor belt 4.

[0039] The capsules falling on the conveyor belt 4 are detected by the scanning assembly 5 in turn, and the qualified capsules are transported by the conveyor belt 4 to the first temporary storage box 7 for storage.

[0040] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 4 in the present application is a common and easily purchased device on the market. It is a conventional setting known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

[0041] As an implementation method, Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the scanning component 5 includes a bracket 51, a scanning camera 52 and an image processor. The bracket 51 is set on the conveyor belt 4, the scanning camera 52 is set relative to the material and connected to the bracket 51, and the image processor is connected to the bracket 51 and electrically connected to the scanning camera 52.

[0042] Through the scanning of the scanning camera 52, the collected image signal is transmitted to the image processor for judgment, thereby identifying whether the capsule is qualified.

[0043] Furthermore, the scanning camera 52 and the image processor are both common and easily purchased devices in the market, and are conventional settings well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the bracket 51 is in the shape of a "door" and is mounted on the conveyor belt 4. The number of scanning cameras 52 in the scanning component 5 is two, and the two scanning cameras 52 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 4 and are both arranged relative to the material.

[0045] Two scanning cameras 52 are respectively disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 4 to improve the accuracy of material scanning and detection.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, a notch 41 is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 4, and the capsule sorting device further includes a second temporary storage box 8, the interior of the second temporary storage box 8 is connected to the notch 41, and a rejecting component 6 is arranged relative to the notch 41 and connected to the conveyor belt 4, and the rejecting component 6 is electrically connected to the image processor for pushing unqualified products into the notch 41.

[0047] After the materials are inspected by the scanning camera 52 , unqualified materials will be pushed to the notch 41 by the rejection component 6 and fall into the second temporary storage box 8 for storage.

[0048] As an implementation method, Figure 3 As shown, the rejecting component 6 includes at least one nozzle 61 and an air pump. The nozzle 61 is arranged relative to the notch 41 and is connected to the conveyor belt 4. The air pump is connected to the conveyor belt 4 and is electrically connected to the image processor.

[0049] The gas generated by the air pump and the nozzle 61 pushes the unqualified capsules into the notch 41, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with two discharge ports, and the capsule sorting device further comprises two discharge door plates 9 , which are arranged one by one corresponding to the discharge ports and are hinged to the housing 1 .

[0051] The materials temporarily stored in the first temporary storage box 7 and the second temporary storage box 8 can be conveniently taken out through the discharge door plate 9, which is convenient for users to operate.

[0052] Specifically, in the device, two discharge door panels 9 are respectively hinged to the housing 1 via hinges, which is convenient for operation and use.

[0053] The specific working process of the utility model is that the discharge end of the hopper 2 is connected to the inside of the shell 1, the feed end of the material dividing component 3 is connected to the discharge end of the hopper 2, and is used to discharge the materials in intervals. The conveyor belt 4 is arranged relative to the discharge end of the material dividing component 3, and is used to transport the materials. The scanning component 5 is arranged on the conveyor belt 4 and is arranged relative to the materials, and is used to scan the materials. The rejection component 6 is arranged on the conveyor belt 4, and is used to reject unqualified materials. Compared with the prior art, the material is firstly output in intervals through the sequentially arranged material dividing component 3 and the conveyor belt 4. At the same time, the material is separated by the separation component and transported along the guide of the conveyor belt 4, and is subjected to qualified detection under the scanning of the scanning component 5, thereby extending the time for the material to pass through the scanning component 5, thereby improving the accuracy of qualified detection.

[0054] When in use, the user first puts the capsules to be sorted into the hopper 2, and the capsules are arranged in sequence along the direction close to the discharge end. Then, as the rotating block 321 continues to rotate, when the accommodating chamber is opposite to the feed hole 311, the material passes through the feed hole 311 and enters the fixed cylinder 31 from the hopper 2. When the accommodating chamber is opposite to the discharge hole 312, the material passes through the discharge hole 312 and falls from the fixed cylinder 31 onto the conveyor belt 4. Then the conveyor belt 4 transports the capsules in a specified direction. The capsules pass under the scanning camera 52 in an orderly manner. After being inspected by the scanning camera 52, when the capsules are qualified, they are transported to the discharge end of the conveyor belt 4 and fall into the first temporary storage box 7. When the capsules are unqualified, the image processor gives an electrical signal to the air pump, and the air pump works and sprays gas from the nozzle 61. When the capsules pass through the notch 41, they are pushed into the notch 41 and fall into the second temporary storage box 8.

[0055] The device, through the above structure, can solve the technical problem in the prior art that the capsule has a short falling time and the camera, image analysis host and sorting motor may not be able to quickly complete the relevant feedback action, thus causing misoperation.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
