DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 3The medicine capsule feeding device shown is applied to a medicine capsule visual inspection machine (not shown in the drawing), including a feeding box 1 and a conveyor 2. The feeding box 1 is equipped with a flipping mechanism 11. The flipping mechanism 11 includes a support plate 111 and a rotating shaft 112. The rotating shaft 112 is rotatably installed in the feeding box 1. The support plate 111 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 112. The support plate 111 can rotate with the rotating shaft 112 to form a flipping effect. A container (a container with an open top) containing medicine capsules can be fixedly placed on the support plate 111. The rotating shaft When 112 rotates, it can drive the support plate 111 to flip. After the support plate 111 is flipped, the medicine capsule container can be inverted, so that all the medicine capsules in the container can be poured out to realize the pouring function. A material receiving conveyor belt 12 is installed in the feeding box 1. The material receiving conveyor belt 12 is installed below the flipping mechanism 11. The medicine capsule poured out of the container just falls on the material receiving conveyor belt 12 and can be output by the material receiving conveyor belt 12. A box body discharge port 13 is opened on the bottom side of the feeding box 1. One end of the material receiving conveyor belt 12 extends to the box discharge port. The medicine capsules are transported to the feed port of the medicine capsule visual inspection machine through the conveyor 2. The medicine capsules are transported to the feed port of the medicine capsule visual inspection machine at a high place through the conveyor 2. The conveyor 2 is a common high and low conveying equipment on the market. No further introduction is made here. The utility model places the medicine capsule container in a closed feeding box 1 and pours it out. The poured medicine capsules can be automatically transported to the feed port of the medicine capsule visual inspection machine. The entire feeding process from pouring the medicine capsules to outputting does not require manual participation, which can effectively solve the problem of human pollution in the feeding process of the medicine capsules. When the workers are feeding, they only need to complete the taking and placing operations of the medicine capsule containers. Since the feeding box 1 is relatively low in height compared to the feed port of the medicine capsule visual inspection machine, the difficulty of operation for the workers is greatly reduced. The workers do not need to work at heights, and the labor burden of the workers is greatly reduced.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the flipping mechanism 11 also includes a motor 113, one end of the rotating shaft 112 extends to the outside of the feeding box 1 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 113, the rotating shaft 112 and the output shaft of the motor 113 are connected by a coupling, and the motor 113 can drive the rotating shaft 112 to rotate after starting, so as to realize the flipping function of the support plate 111, and a brake 114 is installed at the output shaft position of the motor 113. The brake 114 is a brake that can form a braking effect during rotation. After braking, the support plate 111 is fixed, and the flipping angle of the support plate 111 is preferably set to 150-160 degrees (calculated from the horizontal position). After flipping 150-160 degrees, it is enough to completely pour out the medicine capsule in the container.

[0024] like Figure 3As shown, a collecting funnel 14 can be installed between the flipping mechanism 11 and the material receiving conveyor belt 12. The collecting funnel 14 has a large upper opening and a small lower opening. The upper opening can receive the medicine bags poured out of the container and guide them to be concentrated at the lower opening for output. Since the lower opening is small, it is ensured that the output medicine bags can all fall accurately on the material receiving conveyor belt 12.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, a horizontal limit plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding box 1, and the horizontal limit plate 15 blocks the movement trajectory of the end of the support plate 111. When the horizontal limit plate 15 contacts the support plate 111, the support plate 111 is in a horizontal state. The support plate 111 in a horizontal state can stably place the medicine bag container, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the support plate 111 can rotate clockwise to realize the material unloading operation. After the unloading is completed, the support plate 111 rotates counterclockwise and returns until it contacts the horizontal limit plate 15.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a movable door 16 is installed on the side wall of the feeding box 1. The movable door 16 is opened corresponding to the position of the flip mechanism 11. When the movable door 16 is closed, a closed material pouring environment can be formed in the feeding box 1. When the movable door 16 is opened, the medicine capsule container can be taken and placed. Figure 1 As shown, a sterilizer 17 is installed on the top of the feeding box 1. After the sterilizer 17 is turned on, it can sterilize the inside of the feeding box 1 to ensure that the inside of the feeding box 1 is clean and will not contaminate the medicine capsules fed.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the utility model also designs a medicine bag turnover box as a matching medicine bag container, the medicine bag turnover box includes a box body 3, the box body 3 can hold medicine bags, an iron layer 31 is provided at the bottom of the box body 3, the iron layer 31 is provided to meet the magnetic fixation requirements, and in order to match the use of the medicine bag turnover box, the utility model installs an electromagnet 115 at the position of the support plate 111, and the electromagnet 115 is controlled by the magnetic control component 116, such as Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic attraction control assembly 116 is installed on the extension end of the rotating shaft 112, as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, the magnetic control assembly 116 includes a linkage trigger rod 1161 and a fixed trigger rod 1162. The linkage trigger rod 1161 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 112, and the linkage trigger rod 1161 can rotate with the rotating shaft 112. The installation position of the fixed trigger rod 1162 is fixed, and the fixed trigger rod 1162 is arranged on the movement trajectory of the linkage trigger rod 1161. When the support plate 111 is in a horizontal state, the linkage trigger rod 1161 and the fixed trigger rod 1162 are in contact, and the electromagnet 115 is in a state of power failure and non-magnetic. Since there is no magnetic attraction, the medicine bag turnover box can move freely at this time, which is convenient for workers to take and place the medicine bag turnover box. After the plate 111 flips over with the rotating shaft 112, the linked trigger rod 1161 and the fixed trigger rod 1162 are disengaged, and the electromagnet 115 is energized to generate magnetic attraction. When the support plate 111 flips over, it proves that the medicine bag dumping operation is started. If the medicine bag turnover box is still free, it will cause the medicine bag turnover box to fall. Therefore, when the support plate 111 flips over, the electromagnet 115 needs to generate magnetic attraction to firmly fix the medicine bag turnover box on the support plate 111. During the entire process of flipping the support plate 111, the linked trigger rod 1161 is always disengaged from the fixed trigger rod 1162, the electromagnet 115 is always energized to generate magnetic attraction, and the medicine bag turnover box is always fixed, so that the medicine bag dumping operation can be successfully completed.

[0028] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
