[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0015] 1. This multi-channel capsule sorting equipment is equipped with a drive component and a scraping component, so that a single drive motor can drive the scraping component and the screening component to work at the same time. The operation is convenient. The drive motor gives power to the reciprocating screw to rotate, thereby prompting the connecting plate to reciprocate on the reciprocating screw, and then drives the scraper fixed on the connecting plate to scrape back and forth. When the capsule falls from the feed hopper onto the screening plate, the scraper can scrape back and forth, which can not only accelerate the screening of the capsule, but also prevent the capsule from accumulating on the screening plate.

[0016] 2. This multi-channel capsule sorting equipment is equipped with a screening component. The scraper scrapes back and forth, and the second trapezoidal blocks move synchronously under the drive of the scraper. The movement of the second trapezoidal blocks will give the first trapezoidal blocks an upward force, prompting the first screening plate to move upward. The upward movement of the first screening plate will squeeze the return springs on both sides. The return springs are squeezed and deformed, which will give the first screening plate a reverse force, prompting the first screening plate to reset. The scraper moves back and forth, which can prompt the first screening plate to vibrate up and down repeatedly. At this time, the resonant beads inside the first screening plate continue to bounce under the action of external force, promoting screening, ensuring that capsules of different specifications can be screened at multiple stages and preventing blockage.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the multi-channel capsule sorting equipment includes a sorting box 1, a feed hopper 2 is provided at the top of the sorting box 1, and a plurality of discharge ports 3 are opened on one side of the sorting box 1; a screening assembly is arranged inside the sorting box 1 and is used to screen capsules of different specifications; a scraping assembly is arranged above the screening assembly and is used to push the capsules to move; and a driving assembly is arranged on one side of the sorting box 1 and is used to drive the scraping assembly to move.

[0029] When capsules of different specifications are put into the sorting box 1 from the feed hopper 2, the driving component starts to operate. The driving component provides power to drive the scraping component to work. The scraping component scrapes back and forth, which can effectively prevent the capsules from accumulating inside the sorting box 1. At the same time, the screening component starts to work. The capsules that pass the screening are scraped out of the sorting box 1 by the scraping component and slide into the collection box from the discharge port 3. The reciprocating motion of the scraping component can drive the screening component to vibrate, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly screening capsules of different specifications.

[0030] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, the scraping assembly includes a plurality of slides 11 slidably mounted on both sides of the sorting box 1. A plurality of chutes 10 are also provided on both sides of the sorting box 1. Both sides of the plurality of slides 11 are slidably mounted inside the plurality of chutes 10. A scraper 12 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the slide 11. The scraper 12 is provided with teeth on the side away from the slide 11. An extension plate 20 is fixedly mounted on the other side of the slide 11. The extension plate 20 is arranged perpendicular to the slide 11. The extension plate 20 is located below the first trapezoidal block 18. One side of the extension plate 20 is installed. There are a plurality of second trapezoidal blocks 21, which are adapted to the plurality of first trapezoidal blocks 18. The drive assembly includes a drive box 13 fixedly mounted on one side of the sorting box 1. A connecting plate 14 is slidably mounted inside the drive box 13. One side of the plurality of slides 11 passes through the slide groove 10 and is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 14. A drive motor 15 is fixedly mounted on one side of the bottom of the drive box 13. The output end of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to a reciprocating screw rod 16. The bottom of the connecting plate 14 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw rod 16.

[0031] When the drive system of the scraping assembly is started, the drive motor 15 fixed to one side of the sorting box 1 is started immediately, providing stable power for the reciprocating screw 16. As the reciprocating screw rotates, its unique thread design causes the connecting plate 14 threadedly connected thereto to perform reciprocating linear motion inside the drive box 13. This motion, through the cooperation of the slide plate 11 and the chute 10, realizes the smooth sliding of the slide plate 11 on both sides of the sorting box 1, ensuring the stability and continuity of the scraping action. The scraper 12 fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide plate 11 has a tooth design that not only enhances the contact friction with the capsules on the screening plate, but also improves the scraping efficiency, effectively avoiding the accumulation of capsules. When the capsules continue to fall from the feed hopper 2 into the screening plate, The scraper 12 scrapes back and forth under the action of the driving force, ensuring the cleanliness and unobstructedness of the surface of the screening plate. It is worth noting that the extension plate 20 on the other side of the slide 11 and the several second trapezoidal blocks 21 installed thereon form an interactive mechanism with the first trapezoidal block 18 in the sorting box. As the scraper 12 and the slide 11 reciprocate, the teeth of the second trapezoidal blocks 21 and the first trapezoidal blocks 18 fit together and interact with each other. This engagement not only stabilizes the motion trajectory of the scraping assembly, but also prompts the first trapezoidal block 18 to generate continuous vibration in the vertical direction. This vibration further enhances the dispersion effect of the capsules on the screening plate, reduces the adhesion and accumulation between capsules, and thus improves the efficiency and accuracy of the entire sorting process.

[0032] Turn on the drive assembly, and the drive motor 15 gives power to the reciprocating screw 16 to rotate, thereby prompting the connecting plate 14 to reciprocate on the reciprocating screw 16, and then drives the scraper 12 fixed on the connecting plate 14 to scrape back and forth. When the capsule falls from the feed hopper 2 onto the screening plate, the scraper 12 can scrape back and forth, effectively preventing the capsule from accumulating on the screening plate.

[0033] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the screening assembly includes a first screening plate 6, a second screening plate 7 and a third screening plate 8 movably mounted inside the sorting box 1, and a first guide groove 4 and a second guide groove 5 fixedly mounted on the outside of the sorting box 1. One end of the first guide groove 4 is flush with the upper surface of the discharge port 3 on one side of the first screening plate 6, and one end of the second guide groove 5 is flush with the second screening plate 7, the third screening plate 8 and the upper surface of the discharge port 3 on one side of the bottom plate of the sorting box 1. The first guide groove 4 and the second guide groove 5 are both inclined. Screening holes are provided on the first screening plate 6, the second screening plate 7 and the third screening plate 8. The screening apertures opened on the first screening plate 6, the second screening plate 7 and the third screening plate 8 are successively reduced from top to bottom. A plurality of partition spaces are provided inside the first screening plate 6, the second screening plate 7 and the third screening plate 8. A plurality of resonance beads 9 are placed inside the plurality of partition spaces. A plurality of card slots are provided on both sides of the interior of the sorting box 1. Sliding plates 17 are fixedly installed on both sides of the first screening plate 6, the second screening plate 7 and the third screening plate 8 and are respectively clamped in the plurality of card slots. A plurality of return springs 19 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the sliding plate 17. A plurality of first trapezoidal blocks 18 are installed on the side of the first screening plate 6, the second screening plate 7 and the third screening plate 8 close to the sliding plate 17.

[0034] First, when capsules of various specifications enter the sorting box 1 through the feeding system, they first contact and fall on the first screening plate 6. At this time, the scraper 12 in the scraping assembly starts its reciprocating scraping operation, which not only effectively prevents the accumulation of capsules on the first screening plate 6, but also provides an upward force for the first screening plate 6 through the coordinated action of the tooth structure set at its bottom and the second trapezoidal block 21. This force prompts the first screening plate 6 to vibrate up and down repeatedly under the constraint of the return springs 19 on both sides, and the resonance beads 9 inside it are driven by the outside world. The continuous bouncing further enhances the screening effect, so that the capsules smaller than the screening aperture of the first screening plate 6 can pass smoothly and fall onto the second screening plate 7 below. As the screening process continues, the capsules on the second screening plate 7 undergo a similar screening and vibration process again. At this time, the continuous scraping of the scraper 12 and the interaction of the second trapezoidal block 21 on the first trapezoidal block 18 are transmitted to the second screening plate 7 through the stable connection between the sliding plate 17 and the card slot, causing it to vibrate up and down, and with the auxiliary effect of the resonance beads 9, the medium-sized capsules are screened. Effective screening of capsules. The screened capsules continue to fall downward and fall onto the third screening plate 8 for more refined screening. At the third screening plate 8 stage, the screening aperture is further reduced, specifically for screening capsules of the smallest specifications. Similar to the first two screening processes, the reciprocating motion of the scraper 12 and the vibration mechanism of the screening plate work together to ensure that only capsules that meet the aperture requirements of the third screening plate 8 can pass smoothly. The capsules discharged from the discharge port 3 through the first screening plate 6 fall into the collection tank through the first guide groove 4. The unqualified large-sized capsules are removed. The capsules discharged from the second screening plate 7, the third screening plate 8 and the discharge port 3 on one side of the bottom plate of the sorting box 1 are qualified capsules of different sizes. It is worth noting that although the scraper 12 may drive some capsules to move backward during the reset movement, this effect is offset by the continuous vibration of the screening plate and the gaps between the teeth at the bottom of the scraper 12. Under the action of vibration, the capsules can continue to maintain a downward movement trend, and the gaps between the teeth allow some capsules that were temporarily blocked to move forward again, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the entire screening process.
