[0034] Figure 1 The pill peeling machine 10 in some embodiments of the present utility model is shown. The pill peeling machine 10 is used to peel the pills out of the packaging box and separately accommodate the peeled pills and the discarded packaging box.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, the pill peeling machine 10 includes a frame 1, a pressing roller 2, a peeling and screening device 3 and a collecting device 4. The pressing roller 2, the peeling and screening device 3 and the collecting device 4 are respectively arranged on the frame 1.

[0036] It can be understood that the frame 1 serves to support and install the other components. The pressing roller 2 is rotatably arranged on the frame 1, and the pressing roller 2 is used to jointly peel the pills from the outer packaging with the peeling and screening device 3. The peeling and screening device 3 is used to convey the outer packaging. The collecting device 4 is used to separately collect the pills and the outer packaging.

[0037] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the peeling and screening device 3 includes a peeling roller 31, an auxiliary roller 32 and a plurality of conveyor belts 33. The peeling roller 31 is rotatably arranged on the frame 1. A plurality of peeling members 311 are arranged on the peeling roller 31. The peeling members 311 abut against the pressing roller 2. Each conveyor belt 33 is correspondingly wound around each peeling member 311, and each conveyor belt 33 is wound around the auxiliary roller 32. A medicine dropping interval 34 is arranged between two adjacent conveyor belts 33.

[0038] Understandably, the peeling roller 31 is used to jointly squeeze the outer package with the pressing roller 2 so as to peel the medicine grains from the outer package. The auxiliary roller 32 and the peeling roller 31 are used to support the conveyor belt 33 from two different positions respectively. Each peeling member 311 is used to directly hold the outer package against the pressing roller 2 so as to drive the medicine grains to be peeled off from the outer package.

[0039] The collecting device 4 includes a first collecting component 41 and a second collecting component 42. The first collecting component 41 is located below each medicine dropping interval 34 to collect the medicine grains, and the second collecting component 42 is arranged at the end of each conveyor belt 33 to collect the outer package.

[0040] Understandably, the first collecting component 41 is used to collect the medicine grains, and the second collecting component 42 is used to collect the outer package.

[0041] During actual operation, the pressing roller 2 and the peeling roller 31 rotate in opposite directions respectively, and the pressing roller 2 and the peeling member 311 will abut against the outer package from opposite sides respectively. In this way, the medicine grains will be disengaged from the outer package under the holding of the peeling member 31 and the pressing roller 2, and the outer package will burst under the holding of the medicine grains, completing the peeling of the medicine grains. Subsequently, the outer package will still be further conveyed onto each conveyor belt 33 and further conveyed and moved by each conveyor belt 33. At this time, due to the existence of the medicine dropping interval 34, and each conveyor belt 33 only supports the outer package from one side, the medicine grains can fall from the rupture of the outer package and fall onto the first collecting component 41 through each medicine dropping interval 34. The outer package from which the medicine grains have been peeled cannot fall through the relatively narrow medicine dropping interval 34, so the outer package will still be continuously conveyed under the drive of each conveyor belt 33, and the outer package will finally fall into the second collecting component 42 at the end of the conveyor belt 33.

[0042] It should be noted that the outer package is a common medicine box for packaging medicine grains in the prior art (such as blister packaging), and the medicine box is usually sealed by a tearable layer material (such as aluminum foil). When peeling the medicine in the present invention, the pressing roller 2 will abut against the blister, and the peeling member 311 will abut against the side of the blister packaging away from the blister. In this way, the pressing pipe 2 will hold the blister and deform it towards the direction close to the peeling roller 31, so that the blister drives the medicine grains to break through the aluminum foil and form a rupture opening on the aluminum foil. This rupture opening can be used for the medicine grains to fall out of the outer package in the subsequent process.

[0043] Such asFigures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the pill peeling machine 10, the peeling and screening device 3 further includes a driving member 35 disposed on the frame 1, and the driving member 35 is drivingly connected to the pressing roller 2 and the peeling roller 31.

[0044] Understandably, the driving member 35 is used to output torque. The driving member 35 can drive the pressing roller 2 and the peeling roller 31 to rotate through a speed reduction mechanism.

[0045] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a number of auxiliary wheels 321 are provided on the auxiliary roller 32, and each conveyor belt 33 is wound around each auxiliary wheel 321 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0046] Understandably, the auxiliary wheels 321 are arranged one by one along the length extension direction of the auxiliary roller 32.

[0047] It should be noted that in order to enable the conveyor belt 33 to rotate smoothly, there are at least the following several implementation manners: First, each auxiliary wheel 321 is configured to be rotatable on the auxiliary roller 32. Second, each auxiliary wheel 321 is configured to be fixedly arranged on the auxiliary roller 32, and the auxiliary roller 32 and the frame 1 are configured to be rotatable.

[0048] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in some embodiments of the pill peeling machine 10, the conveyor belts 33 all have a blanking hem 331, and a blanking guiding surface 313 is provided on the periphery of each peeling member 311, and the blanking hem 331 abuts against the blanking guiding surface 313.

[0049] Understandably, the blanking hem 331 has a certain inclination angle. The setting of this inclination angle can reduce the contact area between the conveyor belt 33 and the outer packaging, thereby avoiding the conveyor belt 33 from blocking the blanking of the pills, and improving the separation success rate of the pills from the outer packaging. The setting of the blanking guiding surface 313 enables the blanking hem 331 to fully fit with the periphery of the peeling member 311, avoiding the peripheral contour of the peeling member 311 from blocking the blanking hem 331, that is, ensuring that the blanking hem 331 can move while maintaining a predetermined inclination angle.

[0050] Specifically, in some embodiments, the conveyor belt 33 can be configured to have a V-shaped cross-section. Understandably, the conveyor belt 33 with a V-shaped cross-section has two blanking hems 331.

[0051] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt 33 can be configured to have a U-shaped cross-section. Understandably, the conveyor belt with a U-shaped cross-section has two blanking hems 331.

[0052] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in some embodiments of the pill peeling machine 10, each peeling member 311 is in a disc shape, and each peeling member 311 can slide along the length extension direction of the peeling roller 31.

[0053] Understandably, the disc-shaped peeling member 311 has higher stability during rotation, making the transmission of the conveyor belt 33 smoother. The sliding setting of the peeling member 311 enables the present utility model to perform pill peeling on outer packages of different specifications.

[0054] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in some embodiments of the pill peeling machine 10, a limiting convex key 312 is provided on the peeling roller 31, and a limiting hole 314 is provided on each peeling member 311. The limiting hole 314 is adapted to the limiting convex key 312.

[0055] Understandably, the limiting convex key 312 passes through the limiting hole 314, so as to be able to limit the relative position of the peeling member 311 and the peeling roller 31 in the rotation direction, ensuring that the peeling roller 31 can drive the peeling member 311 to rotate when rotating.

[0056] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in some embodiments of the pill peeling machine 10, a soft rubber sleeve is provided on the outer circumference of the peeling roller 31, and the soft rubber sleeve abuts against each peeling member 311.

[0057] Understandably, the setting of the soft rubber sleeve can prevent the peeling roller 31 from crushing the pills.

[0058] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in some embodiments of the pill peeling machine 10, the first collection assembly 41 includes a first blanking plate 411 and a first hopper 412. The first blanking plate 411 is provided on the frame 1, and the first blanking plate 411 is located below each pill dropping interval 34. The first blanking plate 411 is used to receive the pills and guide the pills into the first hopper 412.

[0059] Understandably, the first blanking plate 411 is in a plate shape. After the pills fall onto the first blanking plate 411, the pills will slide along the first blanking plate 411. The first hopper 412 and the frame 1 can be configured to be detachably connected, slidably connected and rotatably connected. Of course, a connecting mechanism may not be provided between the two, and the first hopper 412 can be simply placed at the lower end of the first blanking plate 411.

[0060] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in some embodiments of the pill peeling machine 10, the first collection assembly 41 further includes a guiding channel 413, a guiding column 414 and a locking nut 415. The guiding channel 413 is located on the frame 1, the guiding column 414 is provided on the first blanking plate 411, the first blanking plate 411 is rotatably provided on the frame 1, the guiding column 414 passes through the guiding channel 413, and the locking nut 415 is screwed on the guiding column 414.

[0061] Understandably, the guiding channel 413 is used for the guiding post 414 to pass through. During the rotation of the first blanking plate 411, the guiding post 414 will move along the guiding channel 413. External threads are provided on the guiding post 414. After being locked, the locking nut 415 will abut and be fixed on the frame 1, thereby fixing the angle of the first blanking plate 411.

[0062] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in some embodiments of the pill peeling machine 10, the second collection assembly 42 includes a second blanking plate 421 and a second hopper 422. The second blanking plate 421 is arranged on the frame 1. One end of the second blanking plate 421 is located at the end of each conveyor belt 33 to receive the outer packaging, and the other end of the second blanking plate 421 faces the second hopper 422 to guide the outer packaging into the second hopper 422.

[0063] Understandably, after the outer packaging is removed from each conveyor belt 33, it will correspondingly fall onto the second blanking plate 421. Subsequently, the outer packaging will slide along the second blanking plate 421 into the second hopper 422.

[0064] Implementing the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0065] The present utility model relates to a pill peeling machine. On the one hand, by providing a peeling and screening device composed of a peeling roller with a peeling member, an auxiliary roller, and a conveyor belt, the pill peeling machine can effectively peel the pills from the aluminum-sealed packaging and use the pill dropping interval between two adjacent conveyor belts to achieve the physical separation of the pills and the outer packaging material, avoiding the situation where the two are mixed and fall into the same collection position in the traditional pill peeling machine, thereby significantly improving the working efficiency of separating the pills from the packaging material.
