[0046] The bottom opening of the soft funnel 6 allows only a single capsule to pass through, and a medicine dispensing tube 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the soft funnel 6;

[0047] The lower medicine tube 9 is bent, and the lower medicine tube 9 is connected to the front of the body 1 through a bracket 10;

[0048] The bottom openings of all the medicine tubes 9 are directed to one place;

[0049] A joint 11 is fixedly connected to the middle section of the medicine lowering pipe 9 , and a material drop sensor 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the joint 11 .

[0050] Embodiment 1: A reduction motor is provided inside the body 1 to drive the rotating bin 4 to rotate. This device is specifically used in the pharmaceutical field, specifically for counting finished tablets. The diameter of the top plate 3 is larger than the diameter of the rotating bin 4, and the rotating bin 4 is made of stainless steel. When counting tablets, a drop sensor 12 is specifically used. Its working principle is that the drop sensor 12 is specifically a photoelectric sensor, which includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits a light beam, and the receiver detects whether the light beam is blocked. When the tablet passes through the sensor, it blocks the light beam, causing the receiver to be unable to detect the light beam. The receiver converts this change into an electronic signal and sends it to the control system. The control system determines that the tablet has passed according to the received signal, and triggers corresponding operations, such as counting and recording. Thereby counting the number of tablets output through the lower medicine tube 9.

[0051] Embodiment 2: A soft funnel 6 is fixedly connected at at least two points of the top plate 3, the top opening area of ​​the soft funnel 6 is larger than the bottom opening area, and the material of the soft funnel 6 is plastic.

The soft funnel 6 is elastic, and the outer surface of the soft funnel 6 is wrapped with a jacket 7. A vibration motor 8 is installed on the jacket 7. The vibration of the vibration motor 8 is transmitted to the soft funnel 6 to prevent the tablets from being blocked at the soft funnel 6, so that the tablets can smoothly enter the lower medicine tube 9;

[0054] The bottom port of the soft funnel 6 only allows a single tablet to enter the lower medicine tube 9. When the tablet passes through the drop sensor 12, the drop sensor 12 is specifically a photoelectric sensor, which includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits a light beam, and the receiver detects whether the light beam is blocked. When the tablet passes through the sensor, it blocks the light beam, causing the receiver to be unable to detect the light beam. The receiver converts this change into an electronic signal and sends it to the control system. The control system determines that the tablet has passed based on the received signal and triggers corresponding operations, such as counting and recording. The number of tablets output through the lower medicine tube 9 is thus counted, and finally the tablets pass through the bottom ports of all the lower medicine tubes 9 and converge into one place.

After the tablets are counted, they are finally gathered at one point, thereby improving the efficiency of counting tablets and reducing the pressure of counting tablets at a single point.

[0057] The multi-point design enables the tablet counter to flexibly respond to the needs of counting tablets of different specifications and quantities, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0058] 2. The tablet counting machine for drug production is designed with a soft funnel 6, which is elastic.
