In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments can have different values. It should be noted that similar reference signs and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0044] As mentioned in the background, the existing Chinese medicine pill counting mostly uses manual counting to roughly determine the number of Chinese medicine pills, but in the process of manual counting, the user's hand shaking, the pills are easy to spill, and the size of the medicine bottle and the size of the counting tool are affected, which reduces the operation accuracy of the Chinese medicine pill counting and causes the operation inconvenience of the Chinese medicine pill counting. Therefore, the inventors of the present application designed a new type of pill counting device, which can solve the problem of operation inconvenience in the prior art when counting Chinese medicine pills. The pill counting device of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that the "first direction" in the present application refers to the direction indicated by the letter X in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter X in the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 to 10 According to the embodiments of the present application, a pill counting device is provided, which comprises a main body 10, a cover plate 20, a feeding assembly 30 and a counting assembly 40.

[0047] Specifically, the main body 10 has a mounting cavity 101 and an opening 102, and the mounting cavity 101 communicates with the opening 102; the cover plate 20 is movably arranged on the main body 10, and at least part of the cover plate 20 covers the opening 102; the feeding assembly 30 is arranged in the mounting cavity 101 and located at the opening 102, and the bottom of the feeding assembly 30 has at least one medicine outlet channel 32; the counting assembly 40 is rotatably arranged in the mounting cavity 101, and the counting assembly 40 has at least one medicine storage groove 401, and the at least one medicine storage groove 401 is arranged one-to-one corresponding to the at least one medicine outlet channel 32; wherein the counting assembly 40 has a first position corresponding to the medicine storage groove 401 and the medicine outlet channel 32, and a second position rotated to avoid the medicine storage groove 401 from the medicine outlet channel 32.

[0048] In the embodiment, the feeding assembly 30 is used to store the pills 70. Before the pills 70 are counted by the pill counting device, the counting assembly 40 needs to be rotated to the second position so as to block the medicine outlet 32. Then, the cover plate 20 is moved to open the opening 102, and the pills 70 are put into the feeding assembly 30 through the opening 102. In this process, since the counting assembly 40 is in the second position, the pills 70 will not fall out of the medicine outlet 32 after entering the feeding assembly 30, but will be stored in the feeding assembly 30. The structure is simple, and the operation of repeatedly opening the original medicine box (bottle) to take medicine is avoided to some extent. It can be understood that, since the cover plate 20 is movably arranged on the main body 10, when the opening 102 needs to be opened, the cover plate 20 only needs to be moved along the first direction from left to right. When the opening 102 needs to be closed, the cover plate 20 only needs to be moved along the first direction from right to left. The structure is simple, and the operation is convenient and fast. It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the "from left to right or from right to left along the first direction" is based on the left and right shown in FIG. 15. Figure 1

[0049] At the same time, when the pills 70 need to be counted, the counting assembly 40 only needs to be rotated to the first position so as to open the medicine outlet 32, and then the medicine outlet 32 corresponds to the medicine storage groove 401. At this time, the pills 70 in the feeding assembly 30 will fall into the medicine storage groove 401 from the medicine outlet 32, and then adhere to the counting assembly 40. When the counting assembly 40 is rotated to the second position, the pills 70 will leave the medicine storage groove 401, and finally the number of the pills 70 is determined. In addition, since each medicine storage groove 401 corresponds to one pill 70, the batch counting and batch discharging of the pills 70 can be realized during the rotation of the counting assembly 40. The overall structure is simple, convenient to operate, and can effectively avoid the pills 70 from spilling due to hand shaking during the counting of the pills 70. At the same time, the counting of the pills 70 is not affected by the size of the medicine bottle and the size of the counting tool, and the operation accuracy of the counting of the pills 70 is improved.

[0050] That is to say, compared with the manual counting method in the prior art, the counting assembly 40 only needs to be rotated to switch between the first position and the second position, so that the pills 70 in the feeding assembly 30 can fall into the medicine storage groove 401 one by one from the medicine outlet 32, thereby realizing the batch counting and batch discharging of the pills 70. The overall structure is simple, convenient to operate, and can effectively avoid the pills 70 from spilling due to hand shaking during the counting of the pills 70. At the same time, the counting of the pills 70 is not affected by the size of the medicine bottle and the size of the counting tool, and the operation accuracy of the counting of the pills 70 is effectively improved.​

[0051] Optionally, the medicine outlet channel 32 and the medicine storage tank 401 in this embodiment can be set as one, or can be set as two or more. Figure 1 4 shows a case where there are five drug outlet channels 32 and five drug storage slots 401. It should be noted that the multiple drug outlet channels 32 in this embodiment can be connected to form a through hole, and when the pill counting assembly 40 is in the first position, the through hole is corresponding to the multiple drug storage slots 401.

[0052] Further, see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the pill counting assembly 40 in this embodiment includes a rolling shaft 41, which is rotatably arranged in the mounting cavity 101 and extends along the first direction, and the outer surface of the rolling shaft 41 is provided with a plurality of medicine storage tanks 401 spaced apart along the first direction; the bottom of the delivery assembly 30 is provided with a plurality of medicine outlet channels 32; wherein, when the pill counting assembly 40 is in the first position, the plurality of medicine outlet channels 32 are docked with the plurality of medicine storage tanks 401 in a one-to-one correspondence. Optionally, the medicine outlet channels 32 and the medicine storage tanks 401 in this embodiment can be set to two, three or more than three, and the appendix of this application Figure 1 FIG. 3 shows a situation where the number of the drug outlet channels 32 and the number of the drug storage tanks 401 are both five.

[0053] Specifically, the provision of the rolling shaft 41 can improve the operational accuracy of the pill counting device and facilitate use by the operator. The provision of the same number of medicine storage slots 401 on the rolling shaft 41 as the medicine dispensing channels 32 facilitates the sequential separation of the same number of pills 70 during the rotation of the rolling shaft 41. In other words, this embodiment utilizes a rolling separation method using the rolling shaft 41 to count the pills 70. By providing multiple medicine storage slots 401 on the rolling shaft 41, precise control of the number of pills 70 can be achieved, wherein each medicine storage slot 401 can accommodate one pill 70. When the pills 70 need to be counted, the counting assembly 40 only needs to be in the first position, so that the multiple drug outlet channels 32 and the multiple drug storage slots 401 are docked one by one, which can ensure that the pills 70 fall into the respective drug storage slots 401 after leaving the respective drug outlet channels 32. Subsequently, by rotating the rolling shaft 41 to put the counting assembly 40 in the second position, the same number of pills 70 can be separated one by one. In this way, the problems of poor operational accuracy and inconvenience caused by hand shaking, easy spillage of pills 70, and the size of the tool for taking medicine in the manual counting process can be solved, making it convenient for personal daily use.

[0054] Further, see Figure 2As shown, the medicine storage grooves 401 in the embodiment include multiple rows, and the multiple rows of medicine storage grooves 401 are arranged along the circumference of the rolling shaft 41, and each row of medicine storage grooves 401 includes multiple medicine storage grooves 401 arranged along a first direction. Alternatively, the medicine storage grooves 401 in the embodiment can be arranged as one row, two rows or more than two rows, and the following description of the embodiment is applicable to the case where the medicine storage grooves 401 are arranged as one row, two rows or more than two rows. Figure 1 and the following description of the embodiment is applicable to the case where the medicine storage grooves 401 are arranged as one row, two rows or more than two rows. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 4, the medicine storage grooves 401 are arranged as four rows, and each row of medicine storage grooves 401 includes five medicine storage grooves 401.

[0055] Specifically, the arrangement of multiple rows of medicine storage grooves 401 can increase the counting efficiency of the pill counting device. When it is necessary to count the pills 70, the rolling shaft 41 needs to be rotated to place the pill counting assembly 40 in the first position, so that one row of the multiple rows of medicine storage grooves 401 is in alignment with the medicine outlet channels 32. At this time, the pills 70 can fall into the medicine storage grooves 401 through the medicine outlet channels 32. Then, the rolling shaft 41 is rotated to place the pill counting assembly 40 in the second position, so that the medicine storage grooves 401 filled with the pills 70 are away from the medicine outlet channels 32. Then, the rolling shaft 41 is continuously rotated to separate the pills 70 from the medicine storage grooves 401, and at the same time, the next row of medicine storage grooves 401 is in alignment with the medicine outlet channels 32, so as to realize the filling of the pills 70 in the next row of medicine storage grooves 401. The subsequent operation process is repeated in this way. With the rotation of the rolling shaft 41, the same number of pills 70 can be separated one by one, and finally the pills 70 are counted.

[0056] That is to say, referring to FIG. 5, the actual use of the pill counting device includes the following three stages: Figure 10

[0057] (1) Filling stage: the rolling shaft 41 is rotated to place the pill counting assembly 40 in the first position, so as to facilitate the pills 70 to fall into the medicine storage grooves 401 through the medicine outlet channels 32, respectively;

[0058] (2) Moving-out stage: the rolling shaft 41 is rotated to place the pill counting assembly 40 in the second position, so that the medicine storage grooves 401 filled with the pills 70 are away from the medicine outlet channels 32;

[0059] (3) Re-filling and separation stage: the rolling shaft 41 is rotated to separate the pills 70 from the medicine storage grooves 401 which are away from the medicine outlet channels 32 in the second stage, and at the same time, the next row of medicine storage grooves 401 is in alignment with the medicine outlet channels 32 to place the pill counting assembly 40 in the first position again, so as to facilitate the re-filling of the pills 70. The above process is repeated, and the same number of pills 70 can be separated one by one.

[0060] ​Further, the diameter D1 of the pill 70 in the embodiment and the diameter D2 of the pill exit channel 32 satisfy the relationship: 1mm≤D2-D1≤2mm, for example, D2-D1 can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2mm, etc.

[0061] Specifically, when D2-D1 is less than 1mm, the diameter of the pill 70 and the diameter of the pill exit channel 32 tend to be close, the friction force of the pill 70 passing through the pill exit channel 32 increases, which easily causes the pill 70 to be stuck in the pill exit channel 32, so that the pill 70 cannot smoothly pass through the pill exit channel 32 and fall into the pill storage groove 401; when D2-D1 is greater than 2mm, the diameter of the pill exit channel 32 will be much larger than the diameter of the pill 70, which easily causes multiple pills 70 to simultaneously exit the dispensing assembly 30 from the pill exit channel 32, resulting in counting errors and affecting the accuracy of the counting of the pill group assembly. That is to say, by making the diameter D1 of the pill 70 and the diameter D2 of the pill exit channel 32 satisfy the relationship: 1mm≤D2-D1≤2mm in the embodiment, not only can it ensure that each pill 70 can smoothly pass through the pill exit channel 32, reduce the stagnation or accumulation phenomenon caused by friction, etc., but also can avoid the situation that multiple pills 70 simultaneously enter the pill exit channel 32, effectively ensuring the accuracy of the multiple pills 70 falling one by one from the pill exit channel 32 into the pill storage groove 401.

[0062] Further, the diameter D1 of the pill 70 in the embodiment and the diameter D2 of the pill exit channel 32 satisfy the relationship: 1mm≤D2-D1≤2mm, for example, D2-D1 can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2mm, etc.

[0063] Specifically, when D3-D1 is less than 1 mm, the gap between the pill 70 and the storage groove 401 is too small, and it is difficult to ensure that the pill 70 can fall into the storage groove 401 when the pill 70 exits the medicine outlet channel 32, and at the same time, the pill 70 is easy to be stuck in the storage groove 401 after falling into the storage groove 401, so that the pill 70 is difficult to exit the storage groove 401 when the number assembly 40 is in the second state, reducing the accuracy of counting the pills 70; when D3-D1 is greater than 2 mm, the gap between the pill 70 and the storage groove 401 is too large, which is easy to cause the pill 70 to shake or roll in the storage groove 401, thereby causing the pill 70 to be damaged due to collision with the storage groove 401. That is to say, in the embodiment, by making the diameter D1 of the pill 70 and the diameter D3 of the storage groove 401 satisfy the relationship: 1 mm≤D3-D1≤2 mm, not only can the pill 70 smoothly enter the storage groove 401, but also can smoothly exit the storage groove 401, and can reduce the shaking of the pill 70 in the storage groove 401, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the pill number assembly.

[0064] Further, in the embodiment, the diameter D2 of the medicine outlet channel 32 and the diameter D3 of the storage groove 401 satisfy the relationship: D2>D3. In this way, it is helpful to ensure that the pill 70 can more accurately enter the storage groove 401 when falling from the medicine outlet channel 32, to some extent, avoiding the deviation of the pill 70 during falling.

[0065] Further, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, Figure 1 、 Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the number assembly 40 in the embodiment further includes a driving rod 42 and a driving part 43. The driving rod 42 is rotatably arranged in the mounting cavity 101 and extends in the first direction, and the rolling shaft 41 is sleeved on the driving rod 42; the driving part 43 is arranged on the main body 10 and is drivingly connected with the driving rod 42 to drive the driving rod 42 to drive the rolling shaft 41 to rotate, so as to switch the number assembly 40 between the first position and the second position.

[0066] Specifically, by cooperation of the driving rod 42 and the driving part 43, the rolling shaft 41 can be accurately controlled. When the pill 70 needs to be numbered, the driving part 43 can drive the driving rod 42 to rotate, thereby driving the rolling shaft 41 to rotate synchronously, which is simple in structure and facilitates rotation of the rolling shaft 41.

[0067] Further, the driving part 43 can adopt different device structures for driving the driving rod 42 and the rolling shaft 41 to move synchronously. In the embodiment of the present application, the driving part 43 adopts a knob structure, the knob is arranged on the main body 10 and connected with the driving rod 42, when it is needed to count the pills 70, the knob is only needed to be rotated in a non-locking direction, so that the rolling shaft 41 is driven to rotate by the driving rod 42, and further drives the medicine storage groove 401 to rotate to realize the loading and separation of the pills 70. In addition, the driving part 43 can also be replaced by a rotating handle with a handle, which can also drive the driving rod 42 and the rolling shaft 41 to rotate synchronously.

[0068] Further, referring to Figure 9 The driving rod 42 in the embodiment has at least one first plane 421 extending along the length direction, the driving part 43 is provided with a mounting groove (not shown in the drawings), the mounting groove is provided with at least one second plane (not shown in the drawings) extending along the first direction; wherein the driving rod 42 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove, and the at least one first plane 421 and the at least one second plane are arranged one by one. Alternatively, the first plane 421 and the second plane in the embodiment can be one, two or more than two, the drawings of the embodiment show the case when the first plane 421 is two. Figure 9 The drawings of the embodiment show the case when the first plane 421 is two.

[0069] Specifically, when the driving rod 42 is mounted in the mounting groove, the first plane 421 and the second plane are attached, so that in the rotation process of the driving part 43, the torsion can be transmitted by the first plane 421 and the second plane, so as to realize the rotation of the driving rod 42. In addition, the driving rod 42 is further provided with at least one first circular arc surface (not shown in the drawings) connected with the first plane 421, the mounting groove is further provided with at least one second circular arc surface (not shown in the drawings) connected with the second plane, the at least one first circular arc surface and the at least one second circular arc surface are arranged one by one, so as to ensure that the driving rod 42 is closely attached to the mounting groove, the contact area of the driving rod 42 and the mounting groove is increased, so as to enhance the friction between the driving rod 42 and the driving part 43, and facilitate the rotation of the driving rod 42 by the driving part 43.

[0070] Further, the pill counting device in the embodiment further comprises at least one blocking piece (not shown in the drawings), which is detachably arranged in the medicine outlet channel 32 and / or the medicine storage groove 401. Exemplarily, the blocking piece in the embodiment comprises a food-grade elastic silica gel ball.

[0071] Specifically, since the rolling shaft 41 in the embodiment is provided with multiple rows of pill storage grooves 401, and each row of pill storage grooves 401 includes multiple pill storage grooves 401, when it is required to reduce the number of pills 70 in the counting process, the blocking member can be installed in the corresponding pill outlet channel 32 and / or pill storage groove 401, that is, the pill outlet channel 32 and / or pill storage groove 401 can be blocked, and finally the number of pills 70 can be reduced.

[0072] Optionally, the blocking member in the embodiment can be one, two or more, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0073] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , the mounting cavity 101 in the embodiment is provided with an elastic check member 50, which abuts against the counting assembly 40 when the counting assembly 40 rotates, so as to ensure that the counting assembly 40 rotates in only one direction and is not reversible. In this way, it can be ensured that the rolling shaft 41 in the counting assembly 40 rotates in the same direction only, so that the pills 70 can be separated from the pill storage grooves 401, and the reliability and stability of the pill counting device can be effectively improved.

[0074] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , in the embodiment shown in the present application, the rolling shaft 41 rotates clockwise under the driving of the driving rod 42, at this time, the elastic check member 50 is arranged on the left side of the rolling shaft 41 and abuts against the rolling shaft 41, so as to prevent the rolling shaft 41 from rotating counterclockwise; in the embodiment not shown in the present application, the rolling shaft 41 can also rotate counterclockwise under the driving of the driving rod 42, at this time, the elastic check member 50 is arranged on the right side of the rolling shaft 41 and abuts against the rolling shaft 41, so as to prevent the rolling shaft 41 from rotating clockwise.

[0075] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the dispensing assembly 30 in the embodiment includes a dispensing bin 31, the dispensing bin 31 has a containing cavity 301, the bottom of the containing cavity 301 is provided with a pill outlet channel 32, the containing cavity 301 is in communication with the opening 102 and the pill outlet channel 32 respectively, and the cross-sectional area of the containing cavity 301 remains unchanged first and then gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0076] Specifically, the cross-sectional area of the accommodating cavity 301 in the delivery bin 31 remains unchanged, which helps to improve the connection strength between the delivery bin 31 and the main body 10. Since the opening 102 in the present embodiment is in communication with the accommodating cavity 301, when the pills 70 are put into the accommodating cavity 301, the pills 70 can enter the accommodating cavity 301 from the opening 102, which facilitates the delivery of the pills 70. The cross-sectional area of the accommodating cavity 301 gradually decreases, which sets a longer buffer passage between the opening 102 and the medicine outlet passage 32, so that the pills 70 can smoothly fall into the medicine outlet passage 32 one by one. That is to say, the cross-sectional area of the accommodating cavity 301 in the present embodiment remains unchanged first and then gradually decreases from top to bottom, which not only can improve the connection strength between the delivery bin 31 and the main body 10, but also can ensure that the pills 70 can smoothly enter the medicine outlet passage 32 one by one, avoiding the pills 70 from being stuck due to the mutual influence between the pills 70.

[0077] Further, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, Figure 1 and Figure 3 The bottom of the main body 10 in the present embodiment is provided with a medicine outlet (not shown in the drawings), and the pill counting device further comprises a collection box 60, which is movably arranged at the medicine outlet to at least receive the pills 70.

[0078] Specifically, the collection box 60 is arranged at the medicine outlet in the present embodiment, which facilitates the collection of the pills 70 falling from the rolling shaft 41 and ensures that the medicine is not directly exposed to the external environment. At the same time, since the collection box 60 in the present embodiment is movably arranged at the medicine outlet, the user can easily move the collection box 60 out and then take the required pills 70, which is simple in structure and convenient and fast in operation.

[0079] Further, each part of the pill counting device in the present embodiment can be made of food-grade stainless steel or environmentally friendly plastic or bamboo wood, etc. In this way, the pills 70 can be prevented from being contaminated during the counting process, and the safety and effectiveness of the pills 70 can be ensured.

[0080] Specifically, the working principle of the present application is as follows:

[0081] Before counting the pills 70, the counting assembly 40 needs to be in the second position, i.e. the rolling shaft 41 is driven to rotate in the non-reversible direction by the rotation of the driving part 43, so as to drive the rolling shaft 41 to rotate, and the medicine storage groove 401 avoids the medicine outlet passage 32, at this time, the rolling shaft 41 can block the medicine outlet passage 32; then the cover plate 20 is slid from left to right along the first direction to open the opening 102, and then the pills 70 are poured into the accommodating cavity 301 of the delivery bin 31, and then the cover plate 20 is slid from right to left along the first direction to close the opening 102.

[0082] When the pills 70 need to be counted, the counting assembly 40 needs to be in the first position, i.e. the driving part 43 needs to be rotated, the driving part 43 drives the driving rod 42 to rotate in the non-locked direction to drive the rolling shaft 41 to rotate, so that the medicine storage groove 401 is connected with the medicine outlet channel 32, at this time, the pills 70 in the feeding bin 31 fall into the medicine storage groove 401 from the medicine outlet channel 32, and are attached to the rolling shaft 41. Then, the pills 70 rotate with the rolling shaft 41 in the non-locked direction to separate from the rolling shaft 41 and fall into the collection box 60.

[0083] As can be known from the above embodiments, the pill counting device of the application counts the pills 70 through the rotation of the counting assembly 40, has a simple overall structure, and solves the problems of poor operation accuracy and inconvenience in the manual counting process caused by hand shaking, pill 70 spilling or the size of the counting tool, and is convenient for personal daily use.

[0084] For the convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as "above", "upper", "upper surface", "upper" and the like can be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of one device or feature with other devices or features as shown in the drawings. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation of the device described in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawing is inverted, the device described as "above" or "above" other devices or structures will be positioned "below" or "below" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated by 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative description used herein is interpreted accordingly.

[0085] In addition, it should be noted that the use of "first", "second" and the like to define parts is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding parts, and the above terms have no special meaning unless otherwise stated, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the application.

[0086] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the application and is not intended to limit the application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
