[0002] At present, with the continuous development of the pharmaceutical industry, the requirements for drug production efficiency are getting higher and higher. The traditional manual counting and bottling can no longer meet the needs of modern large-scale production. Therefore, the application of automatic electronic counting machines is becoming more and more widespread.
[0003] Most of the common electronic tablet counting machines on the market currently use vibrating hoppers, screw propellers or rotating paddles to achieve drug feeding and metering.
[0004] Among existing technologies, the vibrating hopper type can better adapt to pills of different sizes and shapes, but its reliance on physical vibration can easily cause damage to certain fragile drugs. Secondly, although the spiral propulsion method has the advantage of higher precision, it often causes clogging and jamming when processing small-sized pills with strong adhesion. Finally, although the rotary paddle device is simple and easy to maintain and manage, it is often difficult to ensure stable and reliable working conditions when facing products with poor fluidity or irregular shapes. Therefore, these three common methods all have certain limitations.
[0005] To this end, the present application provides an electronic grain counting machine. Utility Model Content
