[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of capsule technology, specifically, it relates to an integrated automatic dispensing and testing device for hard capsules. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese patent CN216104940U discloses a capsule testing machine, including a mounting box. A feeding hopper is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting box, and a servo motor located on the right side of the feeding hopper is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting box. The above-mentioned prior art can only detect the quality of capsules, but it cannot remove unqualified products and cannot separate qualified and unqualified products, making the detection itself meaningless. Other external separation devices are required to achieve the detection effect.
[0003] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an integrated automatic dispensing and testing device for hard capsules, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An integrated automatic dispensing and testing device for hard capsules includes a vibratory feeder and a side frame. The vibratory feeder has a feeding box at one output end, and the side frame has rings near its inner sides at both ends. A conveyor belt is attached to the outer side of each ring, and mounting blocks are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt. A rotating shaft is located at the center of each ring, and a drive motor is located on one side of the rotating shaft. Support legs are provided on both sides of the side frame, and shaft fixing plates are provided on the support legs facing the rotating shaft. A receiving box is located at the bottom of the conveyor belt on the side furthest from the vibratory feeder.
[0007] Optionally, a pulley is fitted onto the surface of the rotating shaft, and a belt is fitted onto the surface of the pulley.
[0008] Optionally, the feeding box is provided with guide holes inside.
[0009] Optionally, a detection device is provided at the top of the center position of the conveyor belt.
[0010] Optionally, a sorting device is provided on the side of the detection device away from the vibratory feeder. A reciprocating motor is provided on the top of the sorting device, and an extension plate is provided on one side of the sorting device. A push rod is installed through the center of the extension plate. A connecting sleeve is sleeved on the surface of the push rod, and a connecting band is provided on the surface of the connecting sleeve. A flat part is opened at the end of the push rod, and a guide trough is provided at the bottom of the sorting device.
[0011] Optionally, a baffle is provided on the front of the feeding box.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:
[0013] 1. This integrated automatic filling and testing equipment for hard capsules automatically feeds the capsules onto the conveyor belt via a vibratory feeder. Each capsule is inserted into the hole of the mounting block and tested by a testing device. Then, the reciprocating motor of the sorting device controls the movement of the push rod to push out the unqualified capsules and make them fall into the guide trough. The qualified capsules continue to be conveyed and finally fall into the receiving box. This equipment realizes the separation of qualified and unqualified products on the basis of the testing function, making the function of the equipment more complete and improving the production efficiency.
[0014] 2. This integrated automatic dispensing and testing equipment for hard capsules separates all capsules individually by setting mounting blocks on the conveyor belt, with each capsule corresponding to a hole on a single mounting block. This makes the conveying process more orderly, and the subsequent capsule testing and dispensing more accurate, reducing errors.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated automatic dispensing and testing device for hard capsules, including: a vibratory plate 1 and a side frame 2.
[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a feeding box 5 is provided at one output end of the vibratory feeder 1, and circular rings 7 are provided at both ends of the side frame 2 near the inner side. A conveyor belt 3 is attached to the outer side of the circular rings 7, and mounting blocks 4 are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 3. A rotating shaft 8 is provided at the center of the circular rings 7, and a drive motor 9 is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 8. Support legs 13 are provided on both sides of the side frame 2, and shaft fixing plates 14 are provided on the support legs 13 facing the rotating shaft 8. A receiving box 23 is provided at the bottom of the conveyor belt 3 on the side away from the vibratory feeder 1. The finished capsules to be tested are placed in the vibratory feeder 1 in advance, and the material is continuously fed by vibration. The capsule is conveyed from the vibratory feeder 1 to the feeding box 5, and then falls from the feeding box 5 onto the conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 is supported by rings 7 on two rotating shafts 8. The drive motor 9 drives the rotating shafts 8, which in turn drives the rings 7 to rotate, so that the conveyor belt 3 rotates continuously clockwise. The mounting block 4 on the conveyor belt 3 is fixedly embedded in the conveyor belt 3 and is clamped on both sides by the side brackets 2, so that the mounting block 4 rotates with the conveyor belt 3. The mounting block 4 has a hole in the center, and a single capsule falls into the hole, so that a single mounting block 4 is supported. A single capsule is conveyed along with the conveyor belt 3. The capsule is continuously fed forward and reaches the receiving box 23. The mounting block 4 turns downward and the capsule falls from the hole by gravity into the receiving box 23. The mounting block 4 moves downward with the conveyor belt 3 and eventually returns to the feeding box 5 to complete the cycle. The capsule is continuously fed. The entire side frame 2 is supported by the bottom of the two side legs 13 contacting the ground. The rotating shaft 8 passes through the shaft fixing plate 14 extending from the legs 13. A bearing is provided at the connection to support the entire device.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a pulley 10 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 8, and a belt 11 is sleeved on the surface of the pulley 10. The two rotating shafts 8 are sleeved with pulleys 10 near the drive motor 9, and the two pulleys 10 are connected by the belt 11. The drive motor 9 drives one rotating shaft 8 to rotate, and the rotation of the pulley 10 drives the other pulley 10 to rotate through the belt 11, thereby realizing the simultaneous rotation of the two rotating shafts 8, and thus realizing the rotation of the conveyor belt 3 to transport the capsule. Both ends of the conveyor belt 3 are subjected to force, which can reduce the overall tension of the conveyor belt 3 and prevent the conveyor belt 3 from slipping during transportation.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the feeding box 5 in this embodiment is provided with a guide hole 6 inside; wherein, the edge of the guide hole 6 is rounded. When the capsule falls from the top of the feeding box 5, it is guided by the guide hole 6 and the side wall of the feeding box 5, so that the capsule falls vertically downward and is directly inserted into the hole of the mounting block 4, which facilitates fixing and transportation.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a detection device 12 is provided at the top of the center position of the conveyor belt 3 in this embodiment; wherein, a camera is installed inside the detection device 12, which covers a section of the side frame 2, and detects the capsules entering the detection device 12.
[0031] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a sorting device 15 is provided on the side of the detection device 12 away from the vibrating plate 1. A reciprocating motor 16 is provided on the top of the sorting device 15, and an extension plate 20 is provided on one side of the sorting device 15. A push rod 19 is installed through the center of the extension plate 20. A connecting sleeve 17 is sleeved on the surface of the push rod 19, and a connecting band 18 is provided on the surface of the connecting sleeve 17. A flat part 21 is opened at the end of the push rod 19, and a guide groove 22 is provided at the bottom of the sorting device 15. The sorting device 15 is located behind the detection device 12. The output shaft of the reciprocating motor 16 at the top is sleeved by the connecting sleeve 17. Similarly, a connecting sleeve 17 is also sleeved on the surface of the push rod 19. The two connecting sleeves 17 are connected by the connecting band 18. The push rod 19 and the corresponding connecting sleeve 17 are both threaded. The push rod 19 is fixed by inserting the flat part 21 at its end into the extension plate 20. So when the connecting sleeve 17 rotates, the push rod 19 is pushed forward by engaging with the thread of the push rod 19 and the limiting of the flat part 21, thus pushing the capsule on the mounting block 4 out. The reciprocating motor 16 reverses and the push rod 19 is reset. When the detection device 12 detects a defective product, the reciprocating motor 16 starts and rotates the push rod 19 through the connecting sleeve 17. The push rod 19 pushes the detected defective capsule off the mounting block 4 and falls into the bottom guide trough 22 by gravity for collection, thus realizing the rejection of defective products by the device.
[0032] like Figure 1 , 3As shown, the front of the feeding box 5 in this embodiment is provided with a baffle 24. The baffle 24 can be adjusted up and down to adjust the outlet height, corresponding to the actual height of the capsule. As the conveyor belt 3 continues to rotate, the capsules passing through the guide hole 6 may sometimes fall to the edge of the hole on the mounting block 4. At this time, due to the high height, the top is blocked by the baffle 24, and the side wall of the feeding box 5 adheres to the capsule to keep it vertically upward in the feeding box 5. The conveyor belt 3 continues to rotate until the mounting block 4 reaches the bottom of the feeding box 5, the capsule falls into the mounting hole, the capsule height decreases, and it just passes the baffle 24. The capsule moves out of the feeding box 5 with the mounting block 4. The height of the baffle 24 can be adjusted to accommodate capsules of different lengths.
[0033] Working principle: Finished capsules are placed in the vibratory feeder 1 and automatically fed to the feeding box 5. The guide hole 6 in the feeding box 5 guides the capsules to be inserted into the hole of the mounting block 4. The drive motor 9 starts, and the pulley 10 drives the two rotating shafts 8 to rotate simultaneously. The conveyor belt 3 rotates along with the support of the ring 7. The mounting block 4 moves forward with the conveyor belt 3 between the side frames 2. The capsules are detected by the detection device 12, and then the reciprocating motor 16 of the sorting device 15 controls the push rod 19 to move, pushing the unqualified capsules off the mounting block 4 and dropping them into the guide trough 22. The qualified capsules continue to be conveyed and eventually fall into the receiving box 23. The mounting block 4 adjusts its direction and eventually returns to the bottom of the feeding box 5 to continue conveying.
