Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule metering technology, specifically to a quantity measuring device. Background Technology
[0002] Drugs packaged in capsules are generally powders or granules that irritate the esophagus and gastric mucosa, or drugs that have an unpleasant taste, are easily volatile, are easily broken down by saliva in the mouth, or are easily inhaled into the trachea. Packaging these drugs into capsules protects their efficacy from being destroyed, as well as protecting the digestive organs and respiratory tract. During the production of capsule drugs, a quantity measuring device is required to detect the specific number of capsules produced.
[0003] However, in actual use, traditional camera counting devices make judgments by taking photos and identifying them during capsule transportation. However, during the capsule transportation process, multiple capsules are prone to stacking and obstructing each other, affecting the judgment and identification. At the same time, since the capsules are cylindrical, they are also prone to rolling during transportation, which in turn affects the recognition and judgment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quantity measuring device that solves the problems of existing quantity measuring devices where capsules tend to overlap and roll during transport, affecting measurement.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a quantity measuring device, comprising a conveyor belt, baffles and cleaning rollers, wherein baffles are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the conveyor belt, a cleaning roller is installed on the top of one end of the conveyor belt, a lifting plate is provided near the center of the top of the conveyor belt, an air collecting pipe is provided on the side wall of the end of the conveyor belt away from the cleaning rollers, and a detection camera is installed on the top of the end of the conveyor belt away from the cleaning rollers.
[0006] The outer wall of the conveyor belt is provided with multiple baffles, and ventilation holes are provided between the intervals of the multiple baffles inside the conveyor belt.
[0007] Both ends of the cleaning roller are rotatably connected to sliding blocks, and one side of the sliding block is threaded with a lead screw. The sliding block and the inside of the baffle are slidably connected to each other.
[0008] A push plate is slidably connected to the side of the lifting plate near the cleaning roller. Both ends of the lifting plate are slidably connected to the inside of the baffle. Electric push rods are installed at the corresponding positions of both ends of the lifting plate and the baffle.
[0009] Preferably, a center plate is provided at the center of the conveyor belt, and drive rollers are fitted inside both ends of the conveyor belt. The two ends of the drive rollers are respectively rotatably connected to the side wall of the baffle. A drive motor is installed inside the baffle through the drive roller at one end of the conveyor belt.
[0010] Preferably, an inclined plate is provided at the top of the end of the conveyor belt near the cleaning roller, both ends of the inclined plate are fixedly connected to the baffle, and the bottom of the inclined plate is inclined toward one side of the cleaning roller.
[0011] Preferably, the lifting plate has a connecting groove on the side near the push plate, the push plate and the connecting groove are slidably connected to each other, the bottom of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the inside of the baffle, the push plate is made of silicone, and the end of the push plate away from the lifting plate is inclined to the bottom.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the side wall of the baffle is provided with a groove corresponding to the lifting plate, the side walls at both ends of the lifting plate slide against the groove, the top of the inside of the baffle is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the sliding block, and the bottom of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inside of the sliding groove through a bearing.
[0013] Preferably, a plurality of connecting pipes are installed at the top of the end of the center plate away from the cleaning roller. A plurality of connecting holes are provided on the top side wall of the connecting pipes. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the gas collecting pipe, and the inside of one end of the gas collecting pipe is connected to the vacuum pumping equipment through a conduit.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0015] 1. The rotation of the lead screw drives the sliding block to move up and down, thereby causing the cleaning roller to rise and fall. This allows for adjustment of the gap between the bottom of the cleaning roller and the conveyor belt, and ensures that the rotation direction of the conveyor belt is opposite to that of the cleaning roller. This prevents the cleaning roller from causing the capsule particles to move towards the lifting plate, thus avoiding the accumulation of multiple capsules. During operation, the electric push rod can be easily activated, raising or lowering the height of the lifting plate, which in turn moves the push plate up and down, adjusting the gap between the push plate and the conveyor belt. This effectively pushes apart capsules that are piled up too high, preventing the capsule particles from accumulating during conveyor transport and facilitating image recognition by the detection camera.
[0016] 2. The capsule falls between the two baffles, preventing it from rolling as the conveyor belt rotates. When the conveyor belt reaches the bottom of the detection camera, the air pump can be easily activated to draw in air, which is then extracted through the air collection pipe. This causes the top of the connecting pipe to draw air inwards. Simultaneously, because the conveyor belt has ventilation holes between the baffles, further air can be drawn in. When the capsule is at the top of the ventilation hole, the suction creates negative pressure, ensuring the capsule fits tightly against the ventilation hole, further preventing rolling and displacement. This stabilizes the capsule particles during camera detection, effectively enabling capsule identification and counting. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5The quantity measuring device shown includes a conveyor belt 1, baffles 2, and cleaning rollers 3. Baffles 2 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the conveyor belt 1. A cleaning roller 3 is installed at the top of one end of the conveyor belt 1. A lifting plate 4 is provided near the center of the top of the conveyor belt 1. An air collecting pipe 5 is provided on the side wall of the conveyor belt 1 away from the cleaning roller 3. A detection camera 6 is installed at the top of the end of the conveyor belt 1 away from the cleaning roller 3. Multiple baffles 101 are arranged around the outer wall of the conveyor belt 1. Ventilation holes 102 are opened between the intervals of the multiple baffles 101 inside the conveyor belt 1. Sliding blocks 301 are rotatably connected to both ends of the cleaning roller 3. A lead screw 302 is threadedly connected to one side of the sliding block 301. The sliding block 301 is slidably connected to the interior of the baffle 2. A push plate 401 is slidably connected to the side of the lifting plate 4 near the cleaning roller 3. Both ends of the lifting plate 4 are slidably connected to the interior of the baffle 2. Electric push rods 403 are installed at the corresponding positions of both ends of the lifting plate 4 and the baffle 2.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a center plate 201 is provided at the center of the conveyor belt 1. Drive rollers 202 are attached to both ends of the conveyor belt 1. The two ends of the drive rollers 202 are respectively rotatably connected to the side walls of the baffle 2. A drive motor is installed in the drive roller 202 at one end of the conveyor belt 1 through the interior of the baffle 2. An inclined plate 203 is inclined at the top of the end of the conveyor belt 1 near the cleaning roller 3. Both ends of the inclined plate 203 are fixedly connected to the baffle 2. The bottom of the inclined plate 203 is inclined towards the cleaning roller 3. The capsule particles move along the inclined plate 203 to the surface of the conveyor belt 1. At the same time, during use, the screw 302 can be rotated according to the diameter and height of the capsule, so that the screw 302 rotates and drives the sliding block 301 to move up and down, thereby driving the cleaning roller 3 to move up and down. This allows the gap between the bottom of the cleaning roller 3 and the conveyor belt 1 to be adjusted, and the rotation direction of the conveyor belt 1 is opposite to the rotation direction of the cleaning roller 3, thereby preventing the cleaning roller 3 from driving the capsule particles to the lifting plate 4 and preventing multiple capsules from piling up.
[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a connecting groove 402 is provided on the side of the lifting plate 4 near the push plate 401. The push plate 401 and the connecting groove 402 are slidably connected to each other. The bottom of the electric push rod 403 is fixedly connected to the inside of the baffle 2. The push plate 401 is made of silicone. The end of the push plate 401 away from the lifting plate 4 is inclined to the bottom. A groove is provided on the top of the side wall of the baffle 2 corresponding to the lifting plate 4. The side walls at both ends of the lifting plate 4 are slidably attached to the groove. A sliding groove is provided on the top of the inside of the baffle 2 corresponding to the sliding block 301. The bottom of the screw 302 is rotatably connected to the inside of the sliding groove through a bearing. When the electric push rod 403 is activated, the height of the lifting plate 4 is raised or lowered by the raising and lowering of the electric push rod 403, which in turn drives the lifting plate 401 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the gap between the push plate 401 and the conveyor belt 1. This allows capsules with excessively high stacking height to be effectively pushed apart by the push plate 401, thereby preventing capsule particles from accumulating during transport by the conveyor belt 1.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of connecting pipes 501 are installed on the top of the end of the center plate 201 away from the cleaning roller 3. A plurality of connecting holes are provided on the top side wall of the connecting pipes 501. One end of the connecting pipes 501 is connected to the air collecting pipe 5. The inside of one end of the air collecting pipe 5 is connected to the vacuum pump through a conduit. When the air pump is started, air is drawn in, and then the gas in the connecting pipes 501 is drawn out through the air collecting pipe 5. This causes the top of the connecting pipes 501 to absorb air inward. At the same time, since the conveyor belt 1 has vent holes 102 between the baffles 101, air can be further drawn in through the vent holes 102. When the capsule is at the top of the vent hole 102, the suction force can effectively create negative pressure, so that the capsule fits tightly with the vent hole 102, which can further prevent the capsule from rolling and shifting.
[0030] During use, the processed capsule particles can be easily tilted to one side of the inclined plate 203, allowing them to move along the inclined plate 203 to the surface of the conveyor belt 1. Simultaneously, the screw 302 can be rotated according to the diameter and height of the capsules, causing the sliding block 301 to move up and down, thereby raising and lowering the cleaning roller 3. This allows adjustment of the gap between the bottom of the cleaning roller 3 and the conveyor belt 1, ensuring the rotation direction of the conveyor belt 1 is opposite to that of the cleaning roller 3. This prevents the cleaning roller 3 from moving the capsule particles towards the lifting plate 4, avoiding the accumulation of multiple capsules. Furthermore, the electric push rod 403 can be easily activated, raising or lowering the height of the lifting plate 4, which in turn raises and lowers the push plate 401, adjusting the gap between the push plate 401 and the conveyor belt 1. This effectively pushes apart capsules with excessively high stacking heights, preventing capsule particles from accumulating during transport on the conveyor belt 1, and facilitating image recognition by the detection camera 6.
[0031] During use, the outer wall of the conveyor belt 1 is surrounded by multiple baffles 101, which allows the capsules to easily fall between two baffles 101 during transport. This prevents the capsules from rolling during the rotation of the conveyor belt 1. When the conveyor belt 1 moves to the bottom of the detection camera 6, the air pump can be easily activated to draw air out, and the gas in the connecting pipe 501 is extracted through the air collection pipe 5. This allows the top of the connecting pipe 501 to draw air inward. At the same time, since the conveyor belt 1 has ventilation holes 102 between the baffles 101, air can be further drawn in through the ventilation holes 102. When the capsule is at the top of the ventilation hole 102, the suction can create a negative pressure, making the capsule fit tightly against the ventilation hole 102. This further prevents the capsule from rolling, ensuring the capsule particles remain stable when the detection camera 6 takes pictures, thus effectively identifying the capsules and counting their quantity.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
