Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of capsule sorting, in particular to a capsule sorting device. Background Art
[0002] Capsule medicines are a common way of packaging medicines. Placing medicines in capsules can protect the medicinal properties of the medicines from being destroyed, and also protect the digestive organs and respiratory tract. Some medicines need to be dissolved and absorbed in the intestines, and capsules are a kind of protection to protect the medicines from being destroyed by stomach acid. After the existing capsule medicines are filled, the finished capsules will be mixed with defective capsules such as empty capsule shells or capsule fragments, which need to be sorted out to ensure the quality of the finished capsules. The feeding stage of the existing sorting device is to put all the capsules into the device for screening. The screening process uses a blower or creates a negative pressure environment to separate the defective capsules at one time. However, due to the large amount of capsules input and the mixing of normal capsules and defective capsules, it is difficult to completely separate the defective capsules at one time.

[0017] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the invention, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0018] Example: Reference Figure 1-2 A capsule sorting device includes a sorting box 1. The top of the sorting box 1 is provided with a feed port 2. The bottom of the sorting box 1 is provided with a channel 13. The channel 13 is adapted to the size of the qualified product receiving tray 6 and the unqualified product receiving tray 7. After the sorting work is completed, the qualified product receiving tray and the unqualified product receiving tray 7 can be conveniently taken out. Several sorting mechanisms 3 and a blower mechanism 4 adapted to the sorting mechanism 3 are arranged from top to bottom in the sorting box 1. The blower mechanism 4 includes an air pump and a blowing frame 10. The air outlet end of the air pump is connected to an air inlet pipe 11. The air inlet pipe 11 is connected to several blowing branches 12. The blowing branches 12 are connected to the blowing frame 10. The blowing frame 10 is connected to the hopper 5 and the qualified product receiving tray 6. When in use, the air pump discharges gas into the air inlet pipe 11 through the air outlet pipe, and then the air blowing frame 10 blows air to the sorting mechanism 3 in the sorting box 1 through the air blowing branch pipe 12, so that defective capsules such as empty capsule shells or capsule fragments are separated from normal capsules.
[0019] The sorting mechanism 3 includes a hopper 5, a receiving tray 6 for qualified products, and a receiving tray 7 for unqualified products. A buffer assembly, comprising a brush barrel 9, is installed at the outlet of the sorting box 1. The brush barrel 9 is rotatably connected to the sorting box 1 and rotates toward the blower mechanism 4. This buffer assembly buffers the flow of capsules, effectively separating defective and normal capsules. The bristles of the brush barrel 9 can also extend into the outlet of the hopper 5 to prevent capsule blockage. The cross-sectional area of the outlets of several hoppers 5 decreases stepwise, reducing the amount of capsules flowing out per unit time and effectively separating defective and normal capsules. The qualified product receiving tray 6 and the unqualified product receiving tray 7 are spliced together, and the hopper 5 is located directly above the qualified product receiving tray 6 and close to one side of the unqualified product receiving tray 7; an unqualified product discharge port is provided at the bottom end of the unqualified product receiving tray 7, and the unqualified product discharge port is connected to a feed pipe 8, and the lower end of the feed pipe 8 is located in the next-level unqualified product receiving tray 7; a qualified product discharge port is provided at the bottom end of the qualified product receiving tray 6, and the qualified product discharge port is located directly above the next-level hopper 5, and a blower mechanism 4 is provided between the hopper 5 and the qualified product receiving tray 6.
[0020] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, capsules flow into the hopper 5 from the feed port 2 and then flow out from the outlet of the hopper 5, and are buffered by the brush tube 9. Under the action of the wind force of the blower mechanism 4, defective capsules such as empty capsule shells or capsule fragments fly to the unqualified receiving tray, and the remaining capsules flow into the qualified product receiving tray 6; then the defective capsules in the unqualified receiving tray flow into the next-level unqualified product receiving tray 7 through the feed pipe 8, and the capsules in the qualified receiving tray flow into the next-level qualified product receiving tray 6 through the hopper 5, and the next-level sorting is carried out at the same time. This sorting is carried out several times, which solves the problem that it is difficult to completely separate the defective capsules at one time due to the large amount of capsules input, and improves the quality of the finished capsules after sorting.
