Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling and replenishing, and in particular to an automatic pill filling and replenishing device with integrated weight detection. Background Technology
[0002] A feeding compensation device is an electromechanical integrated device used to automatically detect material quantity or weight deviations and replenish materials in real time. Its core function is to ensure the accuracy and consistency of material feeding during the production process. It is commonly found in automated production lines such as filling, dispensing, and assembly. Pills, as a dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine, are convenient to take and have a relatively long-lasting effect. The medicine is ground into a fine powder and mixed with honey or water, medicinal juice, beeswax, etc., to form spherical pills of varying sizes. Medicines that are not heat-resistant, poorly soluble in water, easily volatile, and highly toxic are often suitable for making pills, commonly used for chronic diseases, especially for treating ailments. Traditional Chinese medicine pills are mainly packaged in bottles or bags, with each bottle or bag containing a specific number of pills.
[0003] Existing automatic pill filling and replenishing devices first quantitatively fill pills into bottles, then detect their weight, and finally replenish them as needed. However, some devices have relatively simple replenishing mechanisms, which requires multiple replenishments, leading to increased wear on the mechanical parts and higher maintenance costs. Therefore, we propose an automatic pill filling and replenishing device with integrated weight detection to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic pill filling and replenishing device with integrated weight detection to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic pill filling and replenishing device with integrated weight detection includes: a primary conveyor, a fixed frame on the outer side of the primary conveyor, a fixed cylinder fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed cylinder, a plurality of leakage holes and a filling groove on the top of the rotating plate, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, the rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame, a rotating plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod, two baffles fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed cylinder, a feeding frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed cylinder, the inner wall of the feeding frame being inclined, and a replenishing mechanism on the outer side of the primary conveyor.
[0007] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes: a No. 3 conveyor, a support and a material pump are provided on one side of the No. 3 conveyor, and two sensors are fixedly connected to one side of the No. 3 conveyor. A fixed pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the support. The output end and input end of the material pump are respectively fixedly connected to a No. 1 pipe and a No. 2 pipe. The other end of the No. 1 pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed pipe, and the other end of the No. 2 pipe is fixedly connected to a placement box.
[0008] Preferably, a belt scale is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first transport machine, and a robotic arm and a second transport machine are provided on the outer side of the first transport machine, and a belt scale is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first transport machine.
[0009] Preferably, a controller is installed on the outside of the No. 1 transport machine, and the controller is electrically connected to the robotic arm, belt scale, material pump and motor.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom inner wall of the fixed cylinder has a leakage hole.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the feeding frame is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe.
[0012] In this utility model, an automatic pill filling and feeding device with integrated weight detection is described. The first conveyor starts transporting the pill bottles. When the pill bottle passes the bottom of the feeding frame, the device discharges a fixed amount of pills from the discharge pipe into the pill bottle. The pill bottle continues to be transported. When the pill bottle moves to the tail of the first conveyor, a crossbar is set at the tail of the first conveyor to prevent the pill bottle from falling. At this time, the belt scale at the tail of the first conveyor weighs the pill bottle. The belt scale then sends the data of the pill bottle to the controller. The controller makes an instruction based on the information. If the weight of the pill bottle is qualified, it operates the robotic arm to grab the pill bottle onto the surface of the second conveyor, so that the qualified pill bottle is transported on the second conveyor.
[0013] In this invention, an integrated weight detection automatic pill filling and replenishment device allows the user to perform subsequent packaging work. If a pill bottle is missing weight, a robotic arm picks it up and places it on top of a third conveyor. Upon receiving an instruction, the controller calculates the missing pill weight and informs the user how much is missing from the bottle. Since the weight of pills after filling generally falls within a certain range, the amount missing is usually small. The user can place a certain amount of pills into the placement box as needed. The bottle is then detected by a sensor, triggering a pump to transport the pills from the placement box through a first pipe into a fixed pipe, and then from the fixed pipe into the main filling box. Inside the bottle, the device has completed the pill replenishment. Inside the fixed cylinder, the motor is started, causing the rotating rod to drive the rotating plate to rotate. The user can place the pill on the other side of the fixed cylinder with the leakage hole. As the rotating plate rotates continuously, and with the help of the filling groove and leakage hole, some pills will roll into the filling hole before entering the leakage hole. As the rotating plate continues to rotate, the pills on the side of the filling hole that is filled will be blocked by the baffle. The excess pills on the top of the filled leakage hole will be blocked by the baffle. Then the filled leakage hole continues to rotate with this part of the pills. When passing through the leakage hole, all the pills inside the leakage hole fall into the inside of the conveying frame. This cycle continues, and the equipment can continuously perform quantitative dispensing.
[0014] This utility model has a reasonable structural design. Through the cooperation between the motor, rotating shaft, rotating plate and fixed cylinder, a certain number of pills first enter the inside of the leakage hole. Then, the baffle separates the excess pills. Finally, all the pills can fall into the inside of the leakage hole, thus completing the quantitative work of pills. This eliminates the need for the feeding mechanism to perform multiple feeding operations, reduces mechanical wear, and saves costs. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-3 An automatic feeding device for pill filling with integrated weight detection includes: a first conveyor 1, a fixed frame 9 on the outside of the first conveyor 1, a fixed cylinder 14 fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed frame 9, and a rotating plate 13 rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder 14. The top of the rotating plate 13 has multiple leakage holes and filling grooves. A motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 9. A rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11. The outside of the rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed frame 9. The bottom of the rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 13. Two baffles 15 are fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder 14. A feeding frame 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed cylinder 14. The inner wall of the feeding frame 16 is inclined. A feeding mechanism is provided on the outside of the first conveyor 1.
[0021] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes: a third conveyor 3, a support and a pump 7 are provided on one side of the third conveyor 3, and two sensors 10 are fixedly connected to one side of the third conveyor 3. A fixed pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the support. The output end and input end of the pump 7 are fixedly connected to the first pipe and the second pipe, respectively. The other end of the first pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed pipe 8, and the other end of the second pipe is fixedly connected to a placement box. A belt scale 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the first conveyor 1, and a robotic arm 6 and a second conveyor 2 are provided on the outside of the first conveyor 1. The belt scale 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the first conveyor 1, which can weigh the medicine bottles.
[0022] In this embodiment, a controller 5 is provided on the outside of the No. 1 conveyor 1. The controller 5 is electrically connected to the robotic arm 6, belt scale 4, material pump 7 and motor 11. A leakage hole is opened on the inner wall of the bottom of the fixed cylinder 14. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying frame 16 to facilitate the discharge of pills.
[0023] In this embodiment, during use, the first conveyor 1 begins transporting the medicine bottle. When the bottle passes the bottom of the feeding frame 16, the equipment discharges a fixed amount of pills from the discharge pipe into the bottle. The bottle continues to be transported. When the bottle moves to the tail of the first conveyor 1, a crossbar is installed at the tail to prevent the bottle from falling. The belt scale 4 at the tail of the first conveyor 1 weighs the bottle and sends the data to the controller 5. The controller 5 issues instructions based on this information. If the bottle's weight is within acceptable limits, the robotic arm 6 is operated to grab the bottle and place it on the surface of the second conveyor 2. After the qualified bottles are transported on the second conveyor 2, the user can then pack them. If the bottle is underweight, the robotic arm 6 grabs the bottle and places it on the top of the third conveyor 3. Upon receiving the instruction, the controller 5 calculates the missing pill weight and informs the user how much pill is missing from the bottle. Generally, after filling, the pills will fall within a certain weight range. This ensures that the amount of missing material is usually small. Users can place a certain amount of pills into the storage box as needed. The pill bottle is then detected by sensor 10, at which point the pump 7 is activated, transporting the pills from the storage box through pipe 1 into the fixed pipe 8, and then from the fixed pipe 8 into the pill bottle. At this point, the device has completed the pill replenishment. Inside the fixed cylinder 14, the motor 11 activates the rotating rod 12, which in turn drives the rotating plate 13 to rotate. Users can place the pills on the other side of the fixed cylinder 14 with the leakage hole. The rotating plate 13 rotates continuously, and using the filling groove and the leakage hole, some of the pills roll down to the inside of the filling hole before entering the leakage hole. As the rotating plate 13 rotates continuously, the pills filling one side of the filling hole are blocked by the baffle 15, and the excess pills at the top of the filled leakage hole are blocked by the baffle 15. Then the filled leakage hole continues to rotate with this part of the pills. When passing through the leakage hole, all the pills inside the leakage hole fall into the inside of the conveying frame 16. This cycle continues, and the equipment can continuously perform quantitative feeding.
