[0031] In this embodiment, the tablets are placed inside the material tank 101. When the tablet counting machine body 1 is turned on, the tablets fall out through the discharge pipe 102, then enter the funnel 110 through the adjusting material pipe 105, and then enter the medicine bottle through the funnel 110. The stepper motor 106 drives multiple adjusting material pipes 105 to rotate through the connecting rod 104. The multiple adjusting material pipes 105 have different sizes. According to the requirements, the stepper motor 106 drives the adjusting material pipes 105 to move to the bottom of the discharge pipe 102, so that the adjusting material pipes 105 are connected to the discharge pipe 102. The opposite surfaces of the adjusting material pipes 105 and the discharge pipe 102 are respectively fixedly installed with ring magnet 117 and ring magnet 216. The ring magnet 117 and ring magnet 216 attract each other, making them more stably connected together. In this way, when counting tablets of different sizes, the tablets enter the medicine bottle better.

[0032] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, a rectangular plate 113 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the main body 1 of the chip counter near the mounting plate 103. Two fixing plates 111 are fixedly installed on the top of the rectangular plate 113 near the outer surface of the discharge pipe 102. The two fixing plates 111 are symmetrical, and electric push rods 112 are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the two fixing plates 111. Arc-shaped clamping plates 114 are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the two electric push rods 112, and anti-slip pads 115 are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 114. A positioning plate 107 is fixedly installed at the center of one side of the mounting plate 103. An electric telescopic rod 108 is fixedly installed on the top of the positioning plate 107. A connecting plate 109 is fixedly installed on the top of the electric telescopic rod 108. A funnel 110 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 109. The funnel 110 is concentric with the discharge pipe 102.

[0033] In this embodiment, the relative or opposite movement of the two electric push rods 112 can drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 114 to clamp and position different medicine bottles, keeping them concentric with the discharge pipe 102, so that the tablets can be loaded better. The opposite surfaces of the arc-shaped clamping plate 114 are fixedly installed with anti-slip pads 115 to further improve stability.

[0034] Working principle: During use, the tablets are placed inside the material hopper 101. The main body 1 of the tablet counter is turned on, and the tablets fall out through the discharge pipe 102. They then pass through the adjusting pipe 105 into the funnel 110, and finally into the medicine bottle. The stepper motor 106 drives multiple adjusting pipes 105 to rotate via the connecting rod 104. These adjusting pipes 105 have different sizes. As needed, the stepper motor 106 moves the adjusting pipes 105 to the bottom of the discharge pipe 102, aligning them. Ring magnet 117 and ring magnet 2 are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the adjusting pipe 105 and the discharge pipe 102, respectively. 116. Ring magnet 117 and ring magnet 116 attract each other, making them more stably connected. This allows the tablets of different sizes to be better inserted into the medicine bottle when counting tablets. The two electric push rods 112 can move relative to or away from each other to drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 114 to clamp and position different medicine bottles, keeping them concentric with the discharge pipe 102. This allows the tablets to be loaded better. The opposite surfaces of the arc-shaped clamping plate 114 are fixedly installed with anti-slip pads 115 to further improve stability. The electric telescopic rod 108 can drive the funnel 110 to adjust according to the height of the medicine bottle through the connecting plate 109, so that the tablets can be loaded into the medicine bottle better.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
