[0031] Please refer to Figure 2, a bottle absence detector 8 is provided on the baffle 613 between the first cylinder 614 and the second cylinder 615, which is used to detect whether a bottle body 7 is placed on the conveyor belt 612, so as to control the first cylinder 614 and the second cylinder 615 to intercept, and at the same time start the filling head 621 to perform filling operations according to the interception situation. In addition, a bottle absence alarm device and the like are also provided on the baffle 613.

[0032] Wherein, a bottle receiving tray 9 is provided at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 612 for receiving the bottle body 7 after filling with materials.

[0033] The working principle of the utility model's dual-purpose machine for small pill packaging and filling is as follows: When performing packaging operations for packaging bags, the discharge valve at the bottom of the hopper 41 is opened, so that the small pill materials fall from the bottom of the hopper 41 into the feeder 42; after measuring and recording the weight data of the materials through the weight sensor in the feeder 42, the servo motor drives the feeder 42 to rotate a preset angle, so that the discharge port 421 of the feeder 42 is docked with the upper end of the conical cylinder 51, and then the discharge valve of the discharge port 421 is opened, and the materials in the feeder 42 fall downward into the packaging bag at the lower end of the straight cylinder 52, and the packaging bag containing the materials is sealed and cut by the heat sealing and bag cutting device, thus completing the packaging operation for the packaging bag. When bottle packaging operations are required, the servo motor is started, and the servo motor drives the feeder 42 to rotate a preset angle, so that the lower end of the discharge port 421 of the feeder 42 is docked with the top end of the filling head 621; then the discharge valve at the bottom of the hopper 41 is opened, and after the materials enter the feeder 42, they continue to be conveyed to the filling head 621 through the discharge port 421 of the feeder 42; during this process, when the bottle absence detector 8 detects that a bottle body 7 passes on the conveyor belt 612, the telescopic rods of the first cylinder 614 and the second cylinder 615 both extend horizontally to intercept the bottle body 7; when the first cylinder 614 intercepts the bottle body 7, the lower end of the filling head 621 extends downward into the bottle body 7 for filling, and after filling, the filling head 621 extends upward out of the bottle body 7; then the first cylinder 614 and the second cylinder 615 both retract, and the filled bottle body 7 and the bottle body 7 intercepted by the second cylinder 615 both continue to move forward; when the bottle absence detector 8 detects that a bottle body 7 passes on the conveyor belt 612 again, the telescopic rods of the first cylinder 614 and the second cylinder 615 extend horizontally again to intercept the bottle body 7, and filling is performed again through the filling head 621, and so on, and the bottle packaging operation can be completed.

[0034] The utility model adds a conveyor belt 612 in the channel 3. After manual bottle placement, the conveyor belt 612 automatically conveys the bottles, and the first cylinder 614 and the second cylinder 615 are used for intercepting and positioning. Then, by switching the filling head 621, the bottle body 7 is filled or filled and conveyed to the bottle receiving tray 9. Compared with the traditional single packaging bag function, this embodiment can realize multi-purpose use of one machine, is more flexible in use, and has a wider application range.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
