[0002] Broken wall ganoderma spore powder is a health product, and its raw material is ganoderma spore. Each ganoderma spore is only 4-6 microns, is living organism, double-wall structure, and is surrounded by hard chitinous cellulose. It is difficult for human body to fully absorb. Therefore, it needs to be broken wall. Broken wall ganoderma spore powder is more suitable for human gastrointestinal absorption. The production process of existing broken wall ganoderma spore powder is generally divided into spore collection, impurity removal and drying, broken wall crushing, mixing ingredients, sterilization and packaging. The packaging as the last process is actually divided into various packaging forms, such as bag packaging, capsule packaging and can packaging. Among them, the capsule packaging has the effect of convenient use, so the broken wall ganoderma spore powder on the market is mostly packaged in capsules. After the capsule is filled with spore powder, the capsule needs to be put into a packaging bag or a packaging bottle according to a fixed number, which requires a capsule grain counting machine. The existing capsule grain counting machine has high procurement cost. Therefore, small-scale manufacturers urgently need a ganoderma spore powder capsule grain counting machine with relatively simple structure and relatively low procurement cost. SUMMARY

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0016] Example 1: See Figure 1 and Figure 2A counting machine for producing Ganoderma lucidum spore powder capsules includes: a worktable 10, a slider 20 slidably attached to the surface of the worktable, a crank-connecting rod assembly for driving the slider to slide horizontally back and forth, and a feed pipe 30 vertically fixed to the upper side of the slider. Two parallel guide bars 11 are provided on the worktable, and the slider slides between the two guide bars. A vertically penetrating displacement hole 21 is provided at the rear end of the slider, the length of which is slightly less than the length of the capsule. A vertically penetrating discharge hole 12 is provided on the worktable within the movement path of the displacement hole. The discharge hole and the feed pipe are vertically aligned. The crank-connecting rod assembly is completely offset in the straight direction. It consists of a servo motor 40, a turntable 50, and a connecting rod 60. The servo motor drives the turntable to rotate. An eccentric rod 51 is provided on the turntable. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the eccentric rod, and the other end is provided with a strip groove 61. A positioning rod 22 is provided at the front end of the slider. The strip groove is fitted onto the positioning rod. A front limit block 13 and a rear limit block 14 are also provided on the worktable. A spring 15 is connected between the rear limit block and the slider. A bent pipe 70 and a vibrating feeder are connected to the upper end of the feeding pipe. The vibrating feeder can continuously output sorted capsules.
[0017] See Figures 3 to 5 In this embodiment, a servo motor drives an eccentric rod on a turntable to perform circular motion. Under the linkage of the connecting rod, the positioning rod and the slider reciprocate along the trajectory between the two guide bars. One rotation of the servo motor completes one reciprocating slide of the slider. The front limit block restricts the slider's sliding position, ensuring that the shifting hole is aligned with the feed tube. When the slider abuts against the front limit block, the eccentric rod can continue to move away from the slider due to the slot design. This allows the slider to stop below the feed tube for a period of time, giving the capsule inside the feed tube sufficient time to fall into the shifting hole until the front end of the slot re-abuts against the positioning rod, pushing the slider backward. During this time, the eccentric rod's movement path is an unloaded arc, and the other half of the arc is a loaded arc. The rear limit block is used to install a spring, which pushes the slider forward to reset. When the eccentric rod moves into the load arc, the front end of the strip groove abuts against the positioning rod, and the spring is in a compressed state; when the eccentric rod moves into the unloaded arc, the slider abuts against the front limit block. In this embodiment, one rotation of the servo motor completes the transfer of one capsule. Since the servo motor's speed and number of rotations are controlled by the PLC controller, the PLC controller can record the number of rotations of the servo motor to perform the counting.
[0018] See Figure 1This embodiment also includes a conveyor belt assembly 80 and packaging bottles arranged on the conveyor belt assembly. The conveyor belt assembly can move the packaging bottles to below the discharge hole, allowing the capsules to fall directly into the packaging bottles. The conveyor belt assembly is also controlled by a PLC controller. When the PLC controller detects that the count has reached a preset number, the conveyor belt assembly starts moving a certain distance, causing the empty packaging bottles at the rear to be transferred to below the discharge hole. The conveyor belt assembly can also be replaced with a rotary conveyor device.
[0019] Further details can be found here. Figure 1 The bottom of the workbench is equipped with a laser emitter 90 and a receiver 91, with the laser beam passing through the material discharge hole. When a capsule falls from the discharge hole, it blocks the light emitted by the laser emitter, causing the receiver to generate an obstruction electrical signal. The PLC controller can monitor the normal operation of this embodiment by comparing the obstruction electrical signal with the number of rotations of the servo motor. If the obstruction electrical signal does not correspond to the number of rotations of the servo motor, the equipment will be paused and the operator will be notified to check the situation.
[0020] Specifically, the gap between the feed tube and the slider is set between 1 and 4 mm, preferably around 2 mm. The larger the gap, the more severe the swaying of the capsule inside the feed tube caused by the movement of the slider; therefore, theoretically, the smaller the gap, the better.
[0021] For details, see Figure 1 The feed tube, bend tube, and displacement hole have the same diameter, which is 0.5 to 1.5 mm larger than the outer diameter of the capsule. This can increase the smoothness of the capsule passing through. A connecting rubber sleeve 31 is provided at the joint of the feed tube and the bend tube.
[0022] This invention can be modified in many ways, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and such modifications are not considered to depart from the scope of this invention. All such modifications that are obvious to those skilled in the art are included within the scope of these claims.
