[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of this application; the terms used in the specification of the application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0021] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] The utility model embodiment provides a capsule delivery mechanism, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the capsule conveying mechanism includes: a vacuum conveyor body 1; a feed hose 2 installed on the vacuum conveyor body 1 for guiding capsule conveying, and a connecting tube 6 is fixedly installed on the feed hose 2; a suction hard tube 3 rotatably installed at the bottom of the connecting tube 6 for sucking capsules in a container; a fixed plate 4 rotatably sleeved on the connecting tube 6; an electric telescopic rod 5 installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 4 for adjusting the suction height; an adjustment component arranged on the top of the fixed plate 4 for adjusting the angle of the suction hard tube 3; a limit component arranged on the fixed plate 4, and the limit component is used to prevent the feed hose 2 from excessive bending.

[0023] It should be noted that the vacuum conveyor conducts diversion transportation of capsules, which can ensure that the capsules are transported and discharged more evenly than directly pouring out the capsules in the container. However, the feed pipe of the conveyor is mostly a plastic hose, which extends into the container to extract the capsules. The suction position needs to be adjusted manually to prevent the suction position from being relatively single, making it difficult to discharge capsules at other positions normally. One worker can only adjust one running machine, and more manpower is required when multiple machines are running at the same time. However, the work of adjusting the suction angle alone is relatively simple. Investing a large amount of manpower in simple work results in a waste of manpower.

[0024] In the present device, when the vacuum conveyor body 1 is running, negative pressure is generated by the vacuum pump, so that the pressure of the conveying system is lower than the atmospheric pressure, forming a vacuum environment, and the capsules are sucked into the feed hose 2 through the suction hard pipe 3 from the source and enter the vacuum conveyor body 1. During the transportation process, by maintaining the vacuum degree in the negative pressure area, it is ensured that the material can continue to move to the positive pressure area under the action of the negative pressure difference. When sucking the material, it is only necessary to rotate the suction hard pipe 3 to adjust the suction angle, increase the completeness of the capsule discharge, and reduce the missing capsules. The height of the suction hard pipe 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the extension length of the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 5, so that the extraction height can be adjusted according to the remaining amount of capsules.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the adjustment component includes a protective shell 7 installed on the top of the fixed plate 4; a motor 8 fixed in the protective shell 7 for adjusting the angle of the suction tube 3; two gears 9 respectively fixed on the motor 8 and the suction tube 3, and the two gears 9 are meshed with each other.

[0026] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the extraction angle of the suction tube 3, the motor 8 is turned on, and the output shaft of the motor 8 rotates to drive any gear 9 to rotate, thereby driving another gear 9 meshing with it to rotate. At this time, the suction tube 3 rotates, which effectively prevents capsules from being missed during discharge. The protective shell 7 can protect the gear 9 to prevent the staff from contacting the rotating gear 9 and causing injuries to the staff.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the limiting assembly includes a limiting rod 18 fixed on the top of the fixed plate 4; a plurality of limiting rings 19 movably sleeved on the limiting rod 18, a plurality of limiting rings 19 are fixedly mounted with connecting rods, a plurality of connecting rods are fixedly connected to the feed hose 2, a plurality of limiting rings 19 are inlaid with a plurality of balls, and a plurality of the balls can contact the limiting rod 18.

[0028] In this embodiment, when adjusting the height of the capsule extraction, the feed hose 2 will inevitably bend. When the bending angle of the feed hose 2 is large, blockage is likely to occur. The feed hose 2 can be limited by cooperating with the limit rod 18 and the limit ring 19 to prevent the feed hose 2 from being bent too much.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, a limiting cylinder 11 is fixedly installed on the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 5, and a capsule collecting bag 12 containing demolded capsules is placed inside the limiting cylinder 11. An elastic ring 13 is movably sleeved outside the limiting cylinder 11, and the elastic ring 13 is in contact with the capsule collecting bag 12.

[0030] In this embodiment, the capsule collecting bag 12 can be limited by the limiting cylinder 11, and the top of the capsule collecting bag 12 is flipped outward and sleeved outside the limiting cylinder 11, and then the capsule collecting bag 12 is clamped by the elastic ring 13. This can prevent the capsule collecting bag 12 from falling off, making it difficult for the suction tube 3 to contact the capsule normally, and at the same time prevent the capsule collecting bag 12 from blocking the suction tube 3.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, a discharge port 14 is provided at the bottom of the vacuum conveyor body 1, and a support frame 21 that can contact the ground is detachably mounted on the vacuum conveyor body 1, and a dividing plate 15 is mounted on the support frame 21, and the dividing plate 15 is located directly below the discharge port 14, and a plurality of isolation strips 16 are provided on the dividing plate 15.

[0032] In this embodiment, the extracted capsules can be discharged through the discharge port 14, and the dropped capsules can be diverted by the dividing plate 15 in cooperation with the isolation strip 16, so as to further disperse the discharged capsules, and the dropped capsules can be received by the dividing plate 15.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, baffles 17 are fixed on both sides of the dividing plate 15, and a heat dissipation port is provided on the side of the protective shell 7 away from the motor 8, and a dustproof net 10 is fixedly installed in the heat dissipation port.

[0034] In this embodiment, during the falling process of the capsule, the isolation of the baffle 17 can effectively prevent the capsule from falling from both sides of the dividing plate 15, the heat dissipation port can ensure normal heat dissipation during the operation of the motor 8, and the dustproof net 10 can prevent external dust from entering the protective shell 7, making it inconvenient to clean.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a non-slip pad 20 is installed at the bottom of the limiting cylinder 11, and an alarm is provided on the fixing plate 4, and the alarm is connected to the electric telescopic rod 5 through an electric wire.

[0036] In this embodiment, since the capsules placed in the limiting cylinder 11 are light in weight and have poor stability, the stability of the limiting cylinder 11 can be increased by the anti-slip pad 20, and the alarm can be sounded after the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 5 is retracted, thereby reminding the staff to add capsules in time.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, two rotating shafts are rotatably installed on the support frame 21, and the two rotating shafts are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the dividing plate 15, and nuts are threadedly installed on the two rotating shafts, and the two nuts are in contact with the support frame 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the angle of the dividing plate 15 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating shaft, and the stability of the angle of the dividing plate 15 can be increased by tightening the nut to make it contact with the support frame 21, thereby increasing the flexibility of the dividing plate 15.

[0039] In summary, the device can extract capsules at different positions when extracting capsules for transportation, without the need to manually adjust the extraction angle, thereby saving manpower. At the same time, the limiting structure can prevent the pipe from being blocked due to excessive bending angle.

[0040] Compared with the related art, the present device can adjust the angle of the suction tube 3 by setting an adjustment component, thereby adjusting the suction angle. By setting a limit component, it can prevent the feeding hose 2 from bending too much and causing the capsule to be blocked in the feeding hose 2. By setting a dividing plate 15 and an isolation strip 16, the capsule can be further diverted and discharged.
