[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a blister tray material distribution module includes a workbench 1, a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the top of the workbench 1, support frames 3 fixedly connected to both sides of the workbench 1, sliding frames 4 slidably connected to the top of each of the two support frames 3, limiting plates 15 symmetrically provided on the upper part of each of the two sliding frames 4, a material distribution component between the two sliding frames 4, and a transmission component on the top of the sliding frames 4. The material distribution component includes a fixed plate 5, which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the sliding frame 4. Sliding columns 6 are symmetrically and alternately slidably connected inside the fixed plate 5. A first support plate 7 and a second support plate 8 are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two sliding columns 6. The transmission component includes a support plate 9, which is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the sliding frame 4. Reciprocating screws 12 are symmetrically rotatably connected inside the support plate 9. Gears 11 are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two reciprocating screws 12 extending to the outside of the support plate 9. The two gears 11 are meshed together. A motor 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 9 via a mounting plate. The output end of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to one of the gears 11.

[0026] During operation, the stacked blister tray bodies 13 are first placed between two sets of limiting plates 15 and on top of the first tray 7. Then, the motor 10 and conveyor belt 2 are started. The output end of the motor 10 drives the corresponding gear 11 to rotate. Through the meshing relationship between the two gears 11, the two reciprocating screws 12 are driven to rotate. The two reciprocating screws 12 can then drive the first tray 7 and the second tray 8 to reciprocate under the limitation of the fixed plate 5. Since the first tray 7 and the second tray 8 are staggered, when the first tray 7 retracts inward, the second tray 8 extends outward. Because multiple blister tray bodies 13 are stacked together, there is squeezing and friction. Therefore, the bottommost blister tray body 13 will not be affected by the pressure. During the gravity drop process, the second pallet 8 can push the bottommost blister tray body 13 off the upper tray through the inclined surface at the bottom, so that it falls to the top of the conveyor belt 2 for conveying. After the second pallet 8 pushes the bottommost blister tray body 13 down, it can simultaneously catch the remaining trays above, preventing all the stacked blister tray bodies 13 from falling. Then, by repeating this process, the reciprocating motion of the first pallet 7 and the second pallet 8 can sequentially divide multiple blister tray bodies 13 and make them fall to the top of the conveyor belt 2 for conveying. This realizes the automated material division and equidistant conveying of the blister tray bodies 13, avoiding the trouble of manual material division, greatly reducing the burden of manual labor and improving work efficiency.

[0027] Several blister tray bodies 13 are stacked between the two sets of limiting plates 15. The blister tray bodies 13 are placed on top of the two first trays 7. The bottom of the two sliding frames 4 extends to the bottom of the support frame 3 and is fixedly connected to the slide plate 18. The slide plate 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding support frame 3. The bottom side of the two support frames 3 is fixedly connected to the first cylinder 14 by the mounting block. The output end of the two first cylinders 14 is fixedly connected to the corresponding slide plate 18. The sliding frame 4 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 17 inside and above the fixed plate 5. The two limiting plates 15 are slidably connected to the outer sides of the limiting rod 17. The bottom of the second tray 8 is provided with a slope on the side near the blister tray body 13.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, the limiting plate 15 can provide a limit for the blister tray body 13, avoiding the falling or failure to convey materials at equal distances due to deviation during the material distribution process.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 5 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, a second cylinder 16 is symmetrically fixedly connected inside the sliding frame 4 and above the limiting rod 17, and the output ends of the two second cylinders 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting plates 15.

[0031] During operation, when dispensing blister tray bodies 13 of different sizes, the first cylinder 14 is activated to drive the corresponding sliding frame 4 to adjust the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 15 and the first support plate 7 and the second support plate 8. This allows for adaptation and adjustment based on the length of the blister tray body 13. The second cylinder 16 is activated to drive the corresponding limiting plate 15 to adjust the lateral distance, allowing for adaptation and adjustment based on the width of the blister tray body 13. This effectively improves the adaptability and practicality of the device.

[0032] Working principle: First, the stacked blister tray bodies 13 are placed between two sets of limiting plates 15 and on top of the first support plate 7. Then, the motor 10 and conveyor belt 2 are started. The output end of the motor 10 drives the corresponding gear 11 to rotate. Then, through the meshing relationship between the two gears 11, the two reciprocating screws 12 are driven to rotate. The two reciprocating screws 12 can then drive the first support plate 7 and the second support plate 8 to reciprocate under the limitation of the fixed plate 5. Since the first support plate 7 and the second support plate 8 are staggered, when the first support plate 7 retracts inward, the second support plate 8 extends outward. Since multiple blister tray bodies 13 are stacked together, there is compression and friction. Therefore, the bottom blister tray body 13 will not fall due to gravity. During this process, the second support plate 8 can push the bottom blister tray body 13 to detach from the upper tray through the inclined surface at the bottom, so that it falls to the top of the conveyor belt 2 and is transported. After the second support plate 8 pushes the bottom blister tray body 13 to fall, it can simultaneously catch the remaining trays above. The system automatically distributes multiple blister trays 13 sequentially, preventing them from falling off the stack. This process is repeated between the first and second support plates 7 and 8, allowing for automated material distribution and equidistant transport of the blister trays 13. This eliminates the need for manual distribution, significantly reducing labor costs and improving efficiency. The limiting plates 15 provide positioning for the blister trays 13, preventing them from shifting and falling or failing to transport at equal distances. When distributing blister trays 13 of different sizes, the first cylinder 14 drives the corresponding sliding frame 4, adjusting the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 15 and the first and second support plates 7 and 8. This allows for adjustment based on the length of the blister tray 13. The second cylinder 16 drives the corresponding limiting plates 15 to adjust the lateral distance, allowing for adjustment based on the width of the blister tray 13. This effectively improves the adaptability and practicality of the device.
