[0026] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 The propellant charge screening device provided by the present invention will now be described. The propellant charge screening device comprises a vibration plate 1, a conveying track 2 and a receiving box 3 connected in sequence. The vibration plate 1 has a vertical material channel 4 and a screening material channel 5 extending circumferentially and connected in sequence. The feed end of the vertical material channel 4 is connected to the vibration plate 1. The feed end of the vertical material channel 4 is arranged higher than the feed end of the screening material channel 5 so that the lying-down charge 91 can be converted into an upright state. An over-height limit rod 6 is provided on the screening material channel 5. The over-height limit rod 6 is used to knock down the charge 91 that is higher than a preset height so that the charge 91 rolls to the middle of the vibration plate 1. An over-low discharge hole 51 is also provided on the outer wall of the screening material channel 5. The over-low discharge hole 51 is used to discharge the charge 91 that is lower than the preset height.
[0027] The propellant charge screening device provided in this embodiment is compared with the prior art. The propellant charge screening device provided in this embodiment is that the charge 91 moves along the vertical material channel 4 under the vibration action of the vibrating disk 1 until it falls into the screening channel 5. During this process, the charge 91 is transformed from a lying position to an upright position. With the help of the super-high limit rod 6 on the screening channel 5, the charge 91 greater than the preset height is knocked down and falls into the vibrating disk 1. The charge 91 less than the preset height is discharged from the screening channel 5 with the help of the super-low discharge hole 51, so that the charge 91 that does not meet the size requirements is effectively screened out, saving screening time and ensuring safety during the screening process.
[0028] In this embodiment, the vibrating plate 1, conveying track 2, and material receiving box 3 can be arranged on a flat surface such as a platform or a frame 11, facilitating operations such as material loading. The preset height of the drug pellets 91 is 20 mm to 24 mm. When the drug pellets 91 are transferred from the vertical material channel 4 to the screening material channel 5, they are transformed from a lying position to an upright position. Drug pellets 91 with a height greater than 24 mm can be conveniently knocked down by the super-high limit rod 6, causing the drug pellets 91 to fall to the middle of the vibrating plate 1, preventing the drug pellets 91 from further moving along the screening material track to the conveying track 2. When the drug pellets 91 are less than 20 mm in height, the super-low discharge hole 51 can discharge drug pellets 91 below the preset height, preventing the drug pellets 91 from further moving along the screening material track to the conveying track 2. Only drug pellets 91 with a height between 20 mm and 24 mm can be smoothly delivered to the conveying track 2, effectively screening out unqualified drug pellets 91 that are too high or too low, thereby improving screening efficiency.
[0029] In one possible implementation, please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 The vibrating plate 1 further includes a receiving channel 7 disposed around the periphery of the vertical material channel 4 and the screening material channel 5. The receiving channel 7 is used to receive the pellets 91 discharged from the ultra-low material discharge hole 51. Located on the outer ring of the screening material channel 5, the receiving channel 7 can effectively receive pellets 91 discharged from the ultra-low material discharge hole 51 that are below a preset size, effectively separating unqualified pellets 91 from qualified pellets 91, achieving a good screening effect.
[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A lying discharge hole 52 is also provided on the side wall of the screening channel 5. The lying discharge hole 52 is arranged near the feeding end of the screening channel 5. The lying discharge hole 52 is used to remove the medicine column 91 in a lying state and make the medicine column 91 fall into the receiving channel 7.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the medicine columns 91 are transferred from the vertical material channel 4 to the screening material channel 5, most of the medicine columns 91 can smoothly change from a lying state to an upright state, and a small number of medicine columns 91 fail to complete the state change and remain in a lying state. The lying discharge holes 52 on the screening material channel 5 can screen out the medicine columns 91 that have failed to change their state and discharge them into the peripheral material receiving channel 7, so as to avoid affecting the height detection of the medicine columns 91 during the subsequent screening process, so that the medicine columns 91 entering the conveying track 2 all meet the height requirements, thereby improving the accuracy of screening.
[0032] Specifically, the extending length of the lying discharge hole 52 along the circumference of the vibration plate 1 is greater than the height of the medicine column 91, and the height of the lying discharge hole 52 is greater than the diameter of the medicine column 91, so that the medicine column 91 that fails to turn into an upright state can be effectively screened out.
[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4The ultra-low discharge hole 51 and the lying discharge hole 52 are respectively located on the outer side wall of the screening channel 5, and the ultra-low discharge hole 51 and the lying discharge hole 52 respectively extend to the bottom wall of the screening channel 5. When screening the lying grains 91 and the grains 91 below the preset height, both the grains 91 in the above-mentioned two states can be discharged into the receiving channel 7, thereby effectively screening out the grains 91.
[0034] On this basis, the ultra-low discharge hole 51 and the lying discharge hole 52 extend to the bottom wall of the screening channel 5 respectively. This setting can improve the convenience of falling of unqualified medicine columns 91, provide sufficient space for the falling of medicine columns 91, and help improve screening efficiency.
[0035] In one possible implementation, please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 The super-high limit rod 6 is connected to the side wall of the screening channel 5 and has a blocking rod 61 extending horizontally toward the center of the vibrating disk 1. The blocking rod 61 can abut against the peripheral wall of the medicine column 91 to block the medicine column 91 and push the medicine column 91 to the middle of the vibrating disk 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, the over-height limiting rod 6 is connected to the side wall of the screening channel 5 to ensure the reliability of the connection. The blocking rod 61 extending horizontally at the upper end is used to block the pellets 91 that are higher than the upright state and higher than the preset height. Under the blocking effect of the blocking rod 61, the pellets 91 are knocked down and fall to the middle area of the vibrating plate 1, so that the over-height pellets 91 are effectively screened out.
[0037] In one possible implementation, please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 The vibrating plate 1 has a connecting track 12 connected to the conveying track 2. The outer end of the connecting track 12 gradually extends downward and is used to transform the medicine column 91 from an upright state to a lying state. The conveying track 2 is provided with a lifting and limiting seat 21. The lifting and limiting seat 21 is located above the conveying track 2 and is used to cooperate with the conveying track 2 to block the medicine column 91 with a diameter greater than a preset diameter. The side of the conveying track 2 is provided with a telescopic guide hopper 8 that can move horizontally to approach the conveying track 2. The telescopic guide hopper 8 can extend horizontally to receive the medicine column 91 in the conveying track 2 and guide the medicine column 91 away from the receiving box 3.
[0038] In this embodiment, the connecting track 12 is connected to the conveyor track 2. The end of the connecting track 12, away from the vibrating plate 1, gradually extends downward. The tilting of the lower end surface of the charge 91 causes the charge 91 to tilt along the track 12, forming a lying position. The diameter of the charge 91 is then checked by raising and lowering the limiting base 21. The acceptable diameter range for the charge 91 is 9 mm to 10 mm.
[0039] Under normal conditions, the lifting and blocking seat descends to a position contacting the upper edge of the conveyor track 2, and the two enclose a passage for the drug column 91. When the outer diameter of the drug column 91 is greater than 10 mm, it is difficult for the drug column 91 to pass through the above passage and is blocked on the conveyor track 2. At this time, the telescopic guide hopper 8 extends outward to the bottom of the conveyor track 2. By moving the lifting and blocking seat upward, the drug column is discharged into the telescopic guide hopper 8, effectively screening out drugs 91 with a diameter larger than the preset diameter.
[0040] In one possible implementation, please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 The propellant charge screening device also includes a photoelectric sensor 22 and a controller electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor 22. The photoelectric sensor 22 is located on the discharge side of the lifting and limiting seat 21 and is used to monitor the passage of the charge 91. The controller is used to receive the detection signal sent by the photoelectric sensor 22 and send a telescopic instruction to the telescopic guide hopper 8. The controller is also used to send a first lifting instruction to the lifting and limiting seat.
[0041] In this embodiment, in order to improve the degree of automation, a photoelectric sensor 22 and a controller are set. The photoelectric sensor 22 is used to monitor the medicine column 91 passing through the lifting and lowering material stop seat. When the medicine column 91 is not detected after a preset period of time, the controller can receive the detection signal of the photoelectric sensor 22 and can determine that the medicine column 91 is stuck according to the preset program. At this time, the controller sends an extension command to the telescopic guide hopper 8 and sends a first lifting command to the lifting and lowering material stop seat. The telescopic guide hopper 8 extends to the bottom of the conveying track 2. By moving the lifting and lowering material stop seat upward, the material column is discharged into the telescopic guide hopper 8, so that the medicine column 91 with a diameter greater than the preset diameter is effectively screened out.
[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The conveying track 2 is also provided with a lifting blocker 9 electrically connected to the controller. The lifting blocker 9 is located between the lifting material limit seat 21 and the feeding end of the conveying track 2. The lifting blocker 9 is electrically connected to the controller and is used to receive the blocking signal of the controller and move downward to cooperate with the conveying track 2 to block the medicine column 91.
[0043] In this embodiment, in order to prevent subsequent drug pellets 91 from accidentally falling into the telescopic material guide seat, a lifting blocker 9 is further provided on the conveying track 2. When the lifting blocker blocks a drug pellet 91 with an excessively large diameter and the controller determines that the drug pellet needs to be collected separately, the controller sends an extension command to the telescopic material guide 8, a first lifting command to the lifting blocker, and a second lifting command to the lifting blocker 9. This causes the lifting blocker 9 to first block the subsequent drug pellet 91 and then release the excessively large drug pellet 91 into the telescopic material guide hopper 8 through the lifting blocker, thereby preventing the subsequent drug pellet 91 from accidentally falling.
[0044] Specifically, the lifting blocker 9 may adopt a rectangular block structure, and the end surface of the lifting blocker 9 adjacent to the vibration plate 1 is used to form a blocking effect on the subsequent charge 91.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A waste box 81 is also provided on one side of the receiving box 3. The discharge end of the conveying track 2 is arranged higher than the upper edge of the receiving box 3. The telescopic guide hopper 8 is used to receive the medicine column 91 on the conveying track 2 and guide the medicine column 91 into the waste box 81.
[0046] In this embodiment, the telescopic guide hopper 8 can extend horizontally to the lower end of the conveying track 2 to receive the medicine column 91 whose diameter exceeds the preset diameter. It can also retract and move away from the conveying track 2 when the medicine column 91 is normally conveyed, ensuring that qualified medicine column 91 can smoothly enter the receiving box 3.
[0047] The waste box 81 on the side of the receiving box 3 can effectively accommodate the medicine columns 91. The discharge end of the telescopic guide hopper 8 extends to the side of the waste box 81 and tilts downward at a certain angle, so as to facilitate the guidance of medicine columns 91 that do not meet the diameter requirements into the waste box 81, thereby realizing the unified collection of unqualified medicine columns 91.
[0048] In one possible implementation, please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 The vibration plate 1, the material receiving box 3 and the waste box 81 are all made of copper. This setting is different from the way other components are made of steel. The choice of copper can effectively avoid the influence of static electricity and improve the safety of the screening of the drug column 91.
[0049] In the above-mentioned propellant charge screening device, the charge 91 moves along the vertical material channel 4 under the vibration action of the vibrating disk 1 until it falls into the screening channel 5. During this process, the charge 91 is transformed from a lying position to an upright position. With the help of the super-high limit rod 6 on the screening channel 5, the charge 91 greater than the preset height is knocked down and falls into the vibrating disk 1. With the help of the super-low discharge hole 51, the charge 91 less than the preset height is discharged from the screening channel 5, so that the charge 91 that does not meet the size requirements is effectively screened out, saving screening time and ensuring safety during the screening process.
[0050] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
