[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In order to solve the problem of relatively low efficiency in counting pills and a small number of missed or miscounted pills during the entire counting process; please refer to Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides the following solutions:

[0020] A pill packaging and counting device comprises a quantity counting tank 1 and a discharge hopper 2, wherein a plurality of material distribution flow pipes 3 are arranged between the quantity counting tank 1 and the discharge hopper 2, an inner rotating tank 101 is arranged inside the quantity counting tank 1, and an integrated gear ring 102 is arranged on the outer side of the top of the inner rotating tank 101, wherein the inner rotating tank 101 is rotatably connected to the quantity counting tank 1, a storage cavity 201 is arranged inside the discharge hopper 2, and a discharge hole 202 is arranged at the bottom of the storage cavity 201, pills to be protected are first poured into the inner rotating tank 101, and the inner rotating tank 101 itself can be engaged with the driving gear through the gear ring 102 on the top, and the inner rotating tank 101 is driven to rotate by the gear, and the dispersion of the pills can be quickly completed in conjunction with a stirring disk 1041.

[0021] Furthermore, a power shaft 104 is provided inside the inner rotating tank 101, and a stirring disk 1041 is provided at the bottom of the power shaft 104. The stirring disk 1041 is rotatably connected to the power shaft 104. The stirring disk 1041 can stir the pills inside the inner rotating tank 101, thereby pushing the pills into the metering hole 103.

[0022] Furthermore, a plurality of metering holes 103 are provided at the bottom of the inner rotating tank 101. The metering holes 103 are distributed in a ring shape. The metering holes 103 pass through the quantity counting tank 1 and extend to the interior of the distribution flow pipe 3. The diameter of the metering holes 103 can be selected and replaced according to the size of the pills. The metering holes 103 need to be slightly larger than the size of the pills, but can only pass one pill at a time.

[0023] Furthermore, a counting valve ring 4 is provided between the material distribution flow pipe 3 and the component counting tank 1 , and the counting valve ring 4 is connected to the material distribution flow pipe 3 via a slot.

[0024] Furthermore, a torque link 401 is provided inside the counting valve ring 4, and the torque link 401 is rotatably connected to the counting valve ring 4. Sensing blades 402 are provided on both sides of the middle section of the torque link 401. The sensing blades 402 and the torque link 401 are set as an integrated structure. The counting valve ring 4 is installed on the outside of the connection area between the metering hole 103 and the distribution flow pipe 3. When the pill enters the distribution flow pipe 3 through the metering hole 103, the pill will contact the sensing blade 402 due to the influence of the internal diameter of the distribution flow pipe 3. Then, the weight of the pill itself causes the sensing blade 402 to slightly flip around the torque link 401. After the pill passes, the sensing blade 402 will count once.

[0025] Working principle: the pills to be protected are first poured into the inner rotating tank 101, and the inner rotating tank 101 itself can be engaged with the driving gear through the gear ring 102 on the top, and the gear drives the inner rotating tank 101 to rotate, and cooperates with the stirring plate 1041 to quickly complete the dispersion of the pills. The counting valve ring 4 is installed on the outside of the connection area between the metering hole 103 and the distribution flow pipe 3. When the pill passes through the metering hole 103 and enters the distribution flow pipe 3, the pill will contact the sensor blade 402 due to the influence of the internal diameter of the distribution flow pipe 3. Then, the sensor blade 402 is slightly flipped with the torque connecting rod 401 as the center due to the weight of the pill itself. After the pill passes, the sensor blade 402 will count once.
