[0006] The base frame is equipped with a conveying mechanism. One end of the conveying mechanism is used in conjunction with a dispensing mechanism, which is fixed on the base frame. The other end of the conveying mechanism is used in conjunction with multiple boxing mechanisms, which are fixedly connected to the base frame.
[0007] The dispensing mechanism includes a housing, a star-shaped roller, and a motor.
[0008] The upper end of the housing is open, and the side wall of the housing is provided with a medicine outlet that extends to the conveying mechanism. A star-shaped roller is provided inside the housing. One end of the star-shaped roller is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a motor, and the motor is fixed to the housing. The other end of the star-shaped roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing.
[0009] Each of the aforementioned boxing mechanisms includes a sorting ramp, a conveying unit, a baffle, a fixed plate, a turntable, a second motor, a dispensing tube, an infrared counter, a vibrating motor, and two gathering plates;
[0010] One end of the sorting sloping plate is used in conjunction with the conveying mechanism. A vibration motor is installed at the lower end of the sorting sloping plate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] This embodiment describes a cartoning device for tablet production, characterized in that it includes a base frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a dispensing mechanism, and multiple cartoning mechanisms.
[0023] The base frame 1 is provided with a conveying mechanism 2. One end of the conveying mechanism 2 is used in conjunction with a dispensing mechanism, which is fixed on the base frame 1. The other end of the conveying mechanism 2 is used in conjunction with multiple boxing mechanisms, which are fixedly connected to the base frame 1.
[0024] The dispensing mechanism includes a housing 3, a star-shaped roller 4, and a motor 5;
[0025] The upper end of the housing 3 is open, and the side wall of the housing 3 is provided with a medicine outlet that extends to the conveying mechanism 2. A star roller 4 is provided inside the housing 3. One end of the star roller 4 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 5, and the motor 5 is fixed on the housing 3. The other end of the star roller 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 3.
[0026] Each of the aforementioned boxing mechanisms includes a sorting ramp 6, a conveying unit 7, a baffle 9, a fixed plate 10, a turntable 11, a second motor 12, a dispensing tube 13, an infrared counter 14, a vibration motor 15, and two gathering plates 8.
[0027] One end of the sorting inclined plate 6 is used in conjunction with the conveying mechanism 2. A vibration motor 15 is installed at the lower end of the sorting inclined plate 6. The other end of the sorting inclined plate 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying unit 7. The conveying unit 7 is fixedly connected to the base frame 1. The inner wall of the conveying unit 7 is provided with gathering plates 8. A baffle 9 is provided between the two gathering plates 8. The baffle 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the conveying unit 7. The other end of the conveying unit 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 10. The fixed plate 10 is provided with a groove 1. A turntable 11 is provided in the groove 1. The turntable 11 is provided with multiple grooves 2 evenly distributed around its circumference. The lower end of the turntable 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 2 12. The motor 2 12 is fixed on the fixed plate 10. The lower end of the fixed plate 10 is opened with a through hole. The lower end of the through hole is fixedly connected to the medicine outlet tube 13. The upper end of the through hole is used in conjunction with multiple grooves 2. The side wall of the fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to the infrared counter 14. The infrared counter 14 is used in conjunction with the through hole.
[0028] When using this invention, firstly, motor 5 drives the star roller 4 to rotate, and the tablets are poured into the housing 3. The star roller 4, with its unique structure, precisely conveys the tablets from the outlet of the housing 3 to the conveying mechanism 2 in batches. The conveying mechanism 2 (a prior art, mature conveying system consisting of pulleys and a transmission belt; the pulleys rotate freely, driving the transmission belt and the tablets on it to move steadily forward; at least one pulley is powered to ensure continuous and smooth movement of the transmission belt and the tablets on it) is activated. Simultaneously, the vibration motor 15 of each packaging mechanism starts working, generating slight vibrations. These vibrations help the conveyor... The tablets on the feeding mechanism 2 slide more smoothly into the sorting ramp 6 and enter the corresponding conveying unit 7 along the ramp. The conveying unit 7 is started (also using a pulley and drive belt structure, which is existing technology) to ensure stable transmission of the tablets. Inside the conveying unit 7, two gathering plates 8 arrange the tablets neatly in a row, while the baffle 9 effectively prevents the tablets from overlapping, ensuring a single-layer arrangement of the tablets during transmission. When the tablets move to the vicinity of the fixed plate 10 under the guidance of the conveying unit 7, the motor 12 starts and drives the turntable 11 to start rotating. Multiple grooves 2 evenly distributed along the circumference on the turntable 11 provide temporary storage space for the tablets. Each groove can only hold one tablet, thanks to the limiting effect of the inner wall of the groove on the fixed plate 10. As the turntable 11 rotates, the groove containing the tablet gradually moves to the through hole. At this time, the tablet falls through the through hole into the dispensing tube 13 below and finally into the pre-placed medicine box. In order to ensure that the number of tablets in each box is accurate, an infrared counter 14 is installed on the side wall of the fixed plate 10 and works in conjunction with the through hole. Whenever a tablet passes through, the infrared counter 14 counts. When the count reaches the preset number, the entire system responds immediately: the corresponding boxing mechanism (including motor 2 12, conveying unit 7 and vibration motor 15) stops working at the same time, and the boxing mechanism that has not reached the preset number continues to work, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the number of tablets in each box.
[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
