[0020] The following will be combined with the accompanying 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.
[0021] Specific examples are given below.
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 6In an embodiment of the present invention, a semi-automatic capsule and tablet picking machine includes a workbench 1, a turntable 2, a rotating mechanism 3, a visual sensor 4, a collecting mechanism 5 and a shielding mechanism 6. The workbench 1 is provided with a turntable 2, and the turntable 2 is evenly distributed with a plurality of capsule placement slots 201 and a plurality of tablet placement slots 202. The capsule placement slots 201 are used to place capsule medicines, and the tablet placement slots 202 are used to place tablet medicines. The bottom of the turntable 2 is equipped with a plurality of shielding mechanisms 6 for blocking the capsule placement slots 201 and the tablet placement slots 202. A bracket 101 is fixed on the workbench 1, and a visual sensor is installed in the bracket 101. 4. The model of the visual sensor 4 is WTX1000-120. Before use, the standard appearance of the capsules and tablets to be tested is input into the visual sensor 4 as a judgment standard. The workbench 1 is equipped with a rotating mechanism 3 for driving the turntable 2 to rotate. A collecting mechanism 5 is installed on the workbench 1 below the visual sensor 4. The collecting mechanism 5 includes: a first electric telescopic rod 501, a collecting box 502, a qualified material trough 503, an unqualified material trough 504, a slider 505 and a slide rail 506. The first electric telescopic rod 501 is fixed on the workbench 1. The telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 501 is connected to the workbench 1. The collecting box 502 is fixed, and a qualified material slot 503 and an unqualified material slot 504 are provided in the collecting box 502. A slider 505 is fixed to the bottom of the collecting box 502, and the slider 505 is slidably mounted on a slide rail 506, and the slide rail 506 is fixed on the workbench 1. When testing the capsules, a person places the capsules one by one into the capsule placement slot 201 from the left side of the turntable 2, and drives the turntable 2 to rotate through the rotating mechanism 3, so that the turntable 2 drives the capsule to rotate to the bottom of the visual sensor 4. The visual sensor 4 takes an image of the capsule and compares it with the standard capsule image. If there is a large difference, it indicates unqualified. If there is no significant difference, it indicates that the capsule is qualified. When the capsule appearance is qualified, the first electric telescopic rod 501 drives the collection box 502 to move, and the collection box 502 drives the qualified material slot 503 to move to the bottom of the capsule placement slot 201. Then, the shielding mechanism 6 opens the bottom of the capsule placement slot 201, so that the qualified capsules in the capsule placement slot 201 fall into the qualified material slot 503. If it is unqualified, the unqualified material slot 504 is moved to the bottom of the capsule placement slot 201, so that the unqualified capsules fall into the unqualified material slot 504 and are collected. Similarly, when testing tablet medicines, the above operation can be repeated.
[0023] The rotating mechanism 3 includes: a driving motor 301, a first bevel gear 302, a second bevel gear 303 and a support shaft 304. The driving motor 301 is fixed on the workbench 1. The first bevel gear 302 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 301. A second bevel gear 303 meshing with the first bevel gear 302 is installed on one side of the first bevel gear 302. The second bevel gear 303 is installed on the support shaft 304. The bottom of the support shaft 304 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1, and the top of the support shaft 304 is fixed to the turntable 2. When in use, the first bevel gear 302, the second bevel gear 303 and the support shaft 304 are driven to rotate by the driving motor 301, and the turntable 2 is driven to rotate by the support shaft 304.
[0024] The shielding mechanism 6 includes: a second electric telescopic rod 601 and a baffle 602. The second electric telescopic rod 601 is fixed to the bottom of the workbench 1. The telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 601 is fixed to the baffle 602. The baffle 602 is attached to the bottom of the turntable 2. The second electric telescopic rod 601 has its own power supply and adopts wireless control. The second electric telescopic rod 601 drives the baffle 602 to move, so that the baffle 602 blocks or opens the bottom of the capsule placement slot 201 and the tablet placement slot 202.
[0025] Working principle: When using the semi-automatic capsule and tablet picking machine, the standard appearance of the capsule and tablet to be tested is first input into the visual sensor 4 as a judgment standard. When testing the capsule, the person places the capsules one by one from the left side of the turntable 2 into the capsule placement slot 201, and drives the first bevel gear 302, the second bevel gear 303 and the support shaft 304 to rotate through the driving motor 301, and drives the turntable 2 to rotate through the support shaft 304, so that the turntable 2 drives the capsule to rotate to the bottom of the visual sensor 4. The visual sensor 4 takes the image of the capsule and compares it with the standard capsule image. If there is a large difference, it means it is unqualified. If there is no large difference, it means it is qualified. When the capsule shape is qualified, the first electric telescopic rod 501 drives the collection box 502 to move, and the collection box 502 drives the qualified material slot 503 to move to the bottom of the capsule placement slot 201. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 601 drives the baffle 602 to move, so that the baffle 602 opens the bottom of the capsule placement slot 201 and the tablet placement slot 202, and the qualified capsules in the capsule placement slot 201 fall into the qualified material slot 503. If the capsule shape is unqualified, the unqualified material slot 504 is moved to the bottom of the capsule placement slot 201, so that the unqualified capsules fall into the unqualified material slot 504 and are collected. Similarly, when testing tablet medicines, the above operation can be repeated.
[0026] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
