[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a capsule / tablet feeding mechanism is provided.

[0033] Example 1;

[0034] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the capsule tablet feeding mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage tank 1, a connecting pipe 2, a drive motor 3, a baffle plate 4, and a turntable 5. The output shaft of the drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to a wedge-shaped stop 301 via a coupling. The turntable 5 is located inside the connecting pipe 2. The baffle plate 4 is arranged in a circumferential array at the upper end of the turntable 5. A slider 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle plate 4. A sliding groove 502 is opened in the circumferential array inside the turntable 5. An extension stop 503 is fixedly connected to one end of the turntable 5. A limiting block 401 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the baffle plate 4. A limiting plate 202 is provided inside the baffle plate 4. A limiting groove 205 is opened at the bottom of the limiting plate 202.

[0035] In this embodiment, the drive motor 3 drives the wedge-shaped stop 301 to rotate. When rotating, it will come into contact with and rub against the extension stop 503. At this time, the extension stop 503 will drive the turntable 5 to rotate under the push of the wedge-shaped stop 301, thereby driving the baffle plate 4 to slide under the action of the slider 402, the slide groove 502, the limiting block 401, and the limiting groove 205. This makes the baffle plates 4 arranged in the circumferential array staggered and far apart, so that the connecting pipe 2 can be opened for material discharge operation, which is convenient for the operator and provides convenience.

[0036] Example 2;

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in the capsule / tablet feeding mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, a baffle 203 is fixedly connected inside the connecting tube 2. A baffle plate 4 and a turntable 5 are movably connected in the gap between the baffle 203 and the limiting plate 202. A slider 402 and a sliding groove 502 are adapted to each other, and the slider 402 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 502. The baffle plate 4 is arranged in a circumferential array on the upper end of the turntable 5 through the slider 402 and the sliding groove 502. A limiting block 401 and a limiting groove 205 are adapted to each other, and the limiting block 401 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 205. The baffle plate 4 is slidably connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 202 through the limiting block 401 and the limiting groove 205.

[0038] In this embodiment, the turntable 5 can rotate within the gap between the baffle 203 and the limiting plate 202, the baffle plate 4 can move within the gap between the baffle 203 and the limiting plate 202, the slider 402 and the slide groove 502 can limit the baffle plate 4, so that the baffle plate 4 can slide along the slide groove 502 at the upper end of the turntable 5 via the slider 402 and the slide groove 502, and the limiting block 401 and the limiting groove 205 can limit the baffle plate 4, so that the baffle plate 4 can slide along the limiting groove 205 at the bottom of the limiting plate 202.

[0039] Example 3;

[0040] like Figure 1-4 As shown, according to the capsule tablet feeding mechanism of this utility model embodiment, the limiting groove 205 is hexagonal, the number of baffles 4 is six, and they are respectively arranged in a circumferential array at the center position of the edge of the limiting groove 205 by limiting blocks 401. A slot 204 is opened on one side of the connecting pipe 2, the extension block 503 is slidably connected to the inside of the slot 204, a return spring 6 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the extension block 503, and the end of the return spring 6 away from the extension block 503 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot 204. A support plate 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting pipe 2, the drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 201, a wedge-shaped block 301 is provided on one side of the extension block 503, a first through groove 206 is opened inside the limiting plate 202, a second through groove 207 is opened inside the baffle 203, and a third through groove 501 is opened inside the turntable 5.

[0041] In this embodiment, six baffles 4 are positioned at the center of the six sides of the hexagonal limiting groove 205 via limiting blocks 401. The extension block 503 extends to the outside of the connecting pipe 2 via the slot 204. The reset spring 6 can drive the extension block 503 to drive the turntable 5 to perform a reset movement, so that the turntable 5 returns to its original position. The drive motor 3 can drive the wedge-shaped block 301, which is fixedly connected by a coupling, to rotate around the output shaft of the drive motor 3. The first through groove 206, the second through groove 207, and the third through groove 501 are used for material discharge.

[0042] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0043] In practical applications, the bottom of the connecting pipe 2 is first connected to the feeding bucket. Then, the storage bucket 1 stores the powder. By starting the drive motor 3, the wedge-shaped stop 301, which is fixedly connected by the coupling, rotates around the output shaft of the drive motor 3. When rotating, it will come into contact with and rub against the extension block 503. At this time, the extension block 503 will drive the turntable 5 to rotate under the push of the wedge-shaped stop 301. At the same time, it will drive the return spring 6 to compress, thereby driving the baffle plate 4 to slide under the limiting action of the slider 402, the slide groove 502, the limiting block 401, and the limiting groove 205, guided by the limiting groove 205. This causes the baffles 4 arranged in the circular array to be staggered and moved away from each other, thus opening the first through slot 206, the second through slot 207, and the third through slot 501 for material discharge. At this time, the wedge block 301 will continue to rotate. After the wedge block 301 passes the extension block 503, the extension block 503 is no longer pushed by the wedge block 301. The reset spring 6 can drive the extension block 503 to drive the turntable 5 to perform a reset movement, so that the turntable 5 returns to its original position, thereby driving the baffle 4 to return to its original position, thus blocking the powder and preventing it from continuing to discharge. It can work with the drive motor 3 and the wedge block 301 to repeatedly perform material discharge operations.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
