As the rotating disk 2 rotates, the pill shell 4 moves below the pill feeding component 6, and the pill feeder 14 puts the pill into the lower shell 102 of the pill shell 4 through the pill feeding channel 15. After the pill is placed, the pill shell 4 moves below the shell closing component 7, and the driving part 18 drives the flipping part 16 and the pressing part 17 to approach the pill shell 4. The flipping part 16 flips the upper shell 101 of the pill shell 4, and uses the pressing part 17 to close the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102. After the closing is completed, the pill shell 4 moves below the shell installation detection component 8, and it is detected by the probe structure 19 to determine whether the closing is qualified. Finally, it is discharged through the discharging component 9, realizing the automatic installation and detection of the entire pill.

[0047] Among them, the connecting rib 103 is placed in the positioning groove 105, ensuring the stability of the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102 during the packaging process and the accuracy of the closing.

[0048] Preferably, a contour groove 106 is formed on the side of the receiving seat 3, and the upper shell 101 fits with the contour groove 106, ensuring the stability of the upper shell 101 during the movement process.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5 shown, a further explanation of the implementation manner of the pill shell feeding component 5 in this embodiment. Among them, the grasping structure 13 includes a grasping bracket 201, a grasping plate 202 slidably arranged on the grasping bracket 201, a suction cup 203 arranged on the grasping plate 202, a lifting module 204 for driving the up and down movement of the grasping plate 202, and a sliding module 205 for driving the horizontal movement of the grasping bracket 201.

[0050] By cooperating with the lifting module 204 and the sliding module 205, the suction cup 203 can be driven to move up and down and horizontally, so that the suction cup 203 places the pill shell 4 on the receiving seat 3, realizing the automatic feeding of the pill shell 4.

[0051] Furthermore, the pill shell feeding component 5 further includes a material control structure 206.

[0059] As Figure 1 , Figure 8 As shown in Figure 8 , as a further explanation of the implementation of the shell closing component 7 in this embodiment, the shell closing component 7 further includes a closing bracket 701 slidably arranged on the machine table 1 and a driving module 702 for driving the closing bracket 701 to slide, and the turning part 16 and the pressing part 17 are arranged on the closing bracket 701. The turning part 16 includes a rotating unit 703 arranged on the closing bracket 701 and a turning arm 704 arranged on the moving end of the rotating unit 703. The pressing part 17 includes a pressing unit 705 and a pressing head 706 arranged on the moving end of the pressing unit 705.

[0060] When the pill shell 4 with pills placed moves to the working station of the shell closing component 7, first, the driving module 702 will drive the closing bracket 701 to approach the pill shell 4, so that the turning arm 704 is located below the upper shell 101. Subsequently, the rotating unit 703 will drive the turning arm 704 to rotate, so that the turning arm 704 will rotate the upper shell 101 onto the lower shell 102, and then drive the pressing head 706 to descend through the pressing unit 705, so that the upper shell 101 is closed on the lower shell 102, realizing the automatic closing of the pill shell 4.

[0061] As Figure 1 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 shown, for a further explanation of the implementation manner of the housing covering assembly 7 in this embodiment, wherein the probe structure 19 includes a test board 501, test probes 502 inserted on the test board 501, and height detection sensors 503 arranged on both sides of the test board 501. An elastic element 504 is sleeved on the test probe 502, with one end of the elastic element 504 abutting against the test board 501 and the other end abutting against the test probe 502, so that the test probe 502 always has a downward movement tendency.

[0062] During the test, the up and down moving module 20 drives the test board 501 to descend, so that the test probe 502 abuts against the pill shell 4. When the test probe 502 rises to a certain height, the height detection sensors 503 on both sides of the test board 501 will send out a qualified signal, thereby detecting whether the pill shell 4 is covered in place.

[0063] Specifically, the test board 501 includes a top and a bottom. The test probe 502 is slidably arranged between the top plate 505 and the bottom plate 506.

A limiting convex portion 507 is formed on the test probe 502, and the limiting convex portion 507 abuts against the top of the bottom plate 506. The elastic element 504 is sleeved on the test probe 502, with one end abutting against the bottom of the top plate 505 and the other end abutting against the limiting convex portion 507, so that the test probe 502 continuously slides downward and cannot break away from the bottom plate 506.

[0064] In addition, a clearance section 508 is formed on the test probe 502. When in the initial state, the height detection sensors 503 on both sides of the bottom plate 506 can perform opposite shooting through the clearance section 508. As the test probe 502 rises, the test probe 502 will block the height detection sensors 503 on both sides, thereby sending out a test qualified signal. If the test probe 502 still performs opposite shooting after abutting against the pill shell 4, a test unqualified signal will be sent out.

[0065] As Figure 1 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 shown, for a further explanation of the implementation manner of the blanking component 9 in this embodiment, wherein the ejecting structure 21 includes an ejecting unit 601 and an ejecting rod 602 arranged on the moving end of the ejecting unit 601.
