[0040] Furthermore, a discharge port 19 is provided in the middle section of the sorting trough 8, and the discharge port 19 is located on one side wall of the sorting trough 8.

[0041] In this embodiment, a discharge port 19 is provided on one side of the sorting trough 8. Due to the structural characteristics of irregularly shaped tablets, tablets that do not conform to the direction of movement on the sorting trough 8 will fall from the discharge port 19 into the receiving chamber 11.

[0042] Furthermore, the sorting trough 8 has an arc-shaped structure, and the width of the sorting trough 8 is smaller than the width of the arc-shaped conveying trough 4. The discharge port 19 is located above the discharge trough 9, and the tablets can be sorted for the third time through the sorting trough 8.

[0043] Furthermore, the bottom of the bottom feeding bin 5 is provided with a fixing hole 20, and the conveying disc body 1 is installed on the conveying disc machine body through the fixing hole 20, which is convenient for fixing.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] In use, the conveyor disc 1 is first installed on the conveyor disc machine body through the fixing hole 20. The tablets to be sorted are placed in the bottom feeding bin 5. There is a pulse electromagnet under the conveyor disc hopper, which can make the hopper vibrate vertically. The inclined spring plate drives the hopper to oscillate around its vertical axis. The tablets in the bottom feeding bin 5 rise along the spiral track due to this vibration. During the rise, the tablets are first blocked by the first baffle plate 16. The tablets that meet the requirements can pass through the first baffle plate 16 and then rise to the second baffle plate 17. The position of the second baffle plate 17 can be adjusted as required. Finally, the tablets enter the sorting trough 8 from the discharge port 10 of the top feeding bin 7. The sorting trough 8 is provided with a drop port 19 on one side. Due to the structural characteristics of the irregular tablets, tablets that do not conform to the direction of movement on the sorting trough 8 will fall from the drop port 19 into the receiving bin 11. In the receiving bin 11, they enter the discharge hole 21. Finally, the tablets that meet the requirements enter the discharge trough 9 for discharge.
