Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vitamin capsule processing technology, specifically to a vitamin capsule sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Vitamin capsules are a type of medicine primarily used to supplement vitamins and minerals, enhancing the body's resistance to disease. They are suitable for conditions such as rough skin, bleeding gums, anemia, and beriberi, and are believed to improve immunity, scavenge free radicals, and delay aging. During the production process, defects in the capsule shell, such as cracks, burrs, air bubbles, or empty shells, can cause vitamin capsules to become substandard. Before leaving the factory, these defective capsules must be sorted to ensure they meet quality requirements.

[0003] Currently, the sorting of empty vitamin capsules is mostly done by setting up a blowing device at the point where the capsules fall. For example, in the "Vitamin Capsule Sorting Device" with patent publication number "CN209465337U", a jet pipe installed below the discharge port blows air onto the vitamin capsules, blowing the empty vitamin capsules into the collection hopper through the triangular baffle. However, this sorting method results in a short falling time for the capsules, leading to a short air blowing and sorting time. Moreover, the capsules are mixed together, which can cause some empty capsules to be blocked by normal capsules and unable to be sorted out, resulting in an inefficient sorting effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vitamin capsule sorting machine to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vitamin capsule sorting machine, comprising:

The outer end of the first connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a plurality of second connecting pipes. One end of the plurality of second connecting pipes extends into the interior of the first blowing chamber. The outer end of the third connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a plurality of fourth connecting pipes. One end of the plurality of fourth connecting pipes extends into the interior of the second blowing chamber, facilitating the supply of air to the interior of the first and second blowing chambers.

[0009] Preferably, a feeding frame is fixedly provided on one side of the top of the sorting table, and the discharge port of the feeding frame is located at the top of the sorting mesh belt, so that vitamin capsules can fall onto the sorting mesh belt.

[0010] Preferably, a collection box is provided at the rear end of the sorting table. The collection box is located on the rear side of the horizontal part of the L-shaped sorting plate to facilitate the collection of sorted empty capsules.

[0011] Preferably, a U-shaped baffle is fixedly provided at the top of the collection box to facilitate blocking the empty capsules blown out by the rearward wind.

[0012] Preferably, the rear end of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped sorting plate is fixedly provided with an inclined guide plate, the rear end of which extends to the top of the collection box to prevent empty capsules from falling onto the sorting table.

[0013] Preferably, a support roller is rotatably connected to both the top and bottom sides of the transverse portion of the L-shaped sorting plate. The outer end of the support roller contacts the two drive belts and the sorting mesh belt, which facilitates the support and limiting of the drive belts and the sorting mesh belt.

[0014] Preferably, each of the four corners of the bottom of the sorting table is fixed with a support leg to facilitate the support and fixation of the device.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0016] By conveying vitamin capsules on a sorting mesh belt, air blowing can be used for sorting during the time it takes for them to move to the top of the horizontal section of the L-shaped sorting plate. This effectively extends the sorting time. During the capsule conveying process, some capsules may disperse. The upward and backward air blowing can directly blow the empty capsules into the collection box, effectively reducing the occurrence of empty capsules not being sorted out, resulting in a better sorting effect.

[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 5 The vitamin capsule sorting machine shown includes:

[0027] The sorting table 1 and the conveying and sorting mechanism above it include two drive rollers 2 rotatably set at the top of the sorting table 1. One end of one drive roller 2 is connected to a motor 3. The outer ends of the two drive rollers 2 are provided with two drive belts 4. A sorting mesh belt 5 is fixed between the two drive belts 4. The sorting mesh belt 5 is sleeved on the outer ends of the two drive rollers 2.

[0028] The air-blowing sorting mechanism includes an L-shaped sorting plate 6 fixedly mounted on the top of the sorting table 1. The horizontal portion of the L-shaped sorting plate 6 extends into the interior of two drive belts 4 and a sorting mesh belt 5. The vertical portion of the L-shaped sorting plate 6 is located in front of the drive belts 4. A first air-blowing chamber 7 is opened inside the horizontal portion of the L-shaped sorting plate 6. Multiple first air-blowing holes 8 communicating with the interior of the first air-blowing chamber 7 are opened at the top of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped sorting plate 6. A second air-blowing chamber 9 is opened inside the vertical portion of the L-shaped sorting plate 6. Multiple second air-blowing holes 10 communicating with the interior of the second air-blowing chamber 9 are opened on the inner side of the vertical portion of the L-shaped sorting plate 6. An air-blowing assembly is connected to the L-shaped sorting plate 6.

[0029] The blowing assembly includes a blower 11 fixedly installed at the front end of the sorting table 1. The blower 11 is fixedly connected to an air outlet pipe 12. The two ends of the air outlet pipe 12 are respectively fixedly connected to a first connecting pipe 13 and a third connecting pipe 15. The outer end of the first connecting pipe 13 is fixedly connected to a plurality of second connecting pipes 14. One end of the plurality of second connecting pipes 14 extends into the interior of the first blowing chamber 7. The outer end of the third connecting pipe 15 is fixedly connected to a plurality of fourth connecting pipes 16. One end of the plurality of fourth connecting pipes 16 extends into the interior of the second blowing chamber 9.

[0030] A feeding frame 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the sorting table 1. The discharge port of the feeding frame 17 is located on the top of the sorting mesh belt 5. A collection box 18 is provided at the rear end of the sorting table 1. The collection box 18 is located on the rear side of the horizontal part of the L-shaped sorting plate 6. A U-shaped baffle 19 is fixedly installed at the top of the collection box 18. An inclined guide plate 20 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped sorting plate 6. The rear end of the inclined guide plate 20 extends to the top of the collection box 18.

[0031] The top and bottom sides of the horizontal part of the L-shaped sorting plate 6 are rotatably connected to a support roller 21. The outer end of the support roller 21 is in contact with two transmission belts 4 and sorting mesh belt 5. A support leg 22 is fixed at each of the four corners of the bottom of the sorting table 1.

[0032] Start motor 3. Motor 3 drives transmission roller 2 to rotate. Transmission roller 2 drives two transmission belts 4 at its outer end to rotate. The two transmission belts 4 drive sorting mesh belt 5 to rotate, sending the vitamin capsules to be sorted into the feed frame 17. Then the capsules will fall onto the sorting mesh belt 5. The mesh size of the sorting mesh belt 5 is smaller than the size of the capsules. The sorting mesh belt 5 will move the capsules on it. At this time, start fan 11 and adjust the air pressure of fan 11. The air enters the first connecting pipe 13 and the third connecting pipe 15 through the air outlet pipe 12, and then enters the second connecting pipe 14. Inside the first blowing chamber 7, the air enters the second blowing chamber 9 through the fourth connecting pipe 16. The air inside the first blowing chamber 7 is blown upward through multiple first blowing holes 8. The upward-blown air continues to blow upward through the mesh of the sorting mesh belt 5, thus blowing up the empty capsules on the sorting mesh belt 5. At this time, the air inside the second blowing chamber 9 is blown backward through multiple second blowing holes 10. The backward-blown air will drive the blown capsules to move backward. After being blocked and guided by the U-shaped baffle 19 and the inclined guide plate 20, the empty capsules will fall into the collection box 18.

[0033] This invention extends the sorting time by allowing vitamin capsules to be sorted by air blowing during their movement on the sorting conveyor belt 5 to the top of the transverse section of the L-shaped sorting plate 6. Furthermore, since capsules may disperse during transport, the upward and backward air blowing directly carries empty capsules into the collection box 18, effectively reducing the occurrence of unsorted empty capsules and resulting in better sorting performance. This embodiment specifically solves the problem in the prior art where sorting empty vitamin capsules often involves using an air blowing device at the capsule's landing point. This method results in a short landing time, leading to a short air blowing time, and the capsules are often mixed together, causing some empty capsules to be blocked by normal capsules and unable to be sorted, resulting in poor sorting efficiency.

[0034] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. 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.
