Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical production, and in particular to a hard capsule sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] A search of Chinese patents revealed publication number CN209465337U: a vitamin capsule sorting device, comprising a workbench body. Support legs are bolted to the four corners of the workbench body's bottom. A motor is bolted to one side of the workbench body's bottom, and a collection hopper is bolted to one side of the workbench body. The top of the collection hopper has a rectangular slot, and a slag discharge valve is inserted inside the rectangular slot. A first through hole is formed on each side of the inner wall of the workbench body. This invention, by incorporating a feeding hopper, a discharge valve, a discharge port, a triangular stop block, a blower, and a collection hopper, allows vitamin capsules to be placed inside the feeding hopper and drain through the discharge port. An air jet pipe installed at the bottom of the blower blows air through the vitamin capsules, blowing empty capsules through the triangular stop block into the collection hopper, enabling rapid initial sorting of the vitamin capsules.
[0003] Existing sorting devices cannot adjust the size of the discharge port. Generally, sorting devices feed hard capsules into the hopper, and the size of the hopper's outlet is fixed, resulting in a fixed discharge speed that is difficult to adjust as needed, leading to low applicability. Furthermore, during sorting, the capsules tend to cluster together, resulting in unsatisfactory sorting results and affecting usability. They also lack anti-clogging functions. If a large amount of material is fed at once, the hard capsules may squeeze against each other, causing discharge blockages and affecting sorting efficiency. This requires stopping the machine to clear the blockages, reducing practicality and making them inconvenient to use. To solve the above problems, we propose a hard capsule sorting device.

[0035] Example 2:
[0036] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A support mechanism 11 is provided between the surface of the feed hopper 3 and the top of the housing 1. A fixed shell 12 is bolted to the surface of the feed hopper 3. A motor 13 is bolted to the top of the fixed shell 12.

[0040] Brief description of the operation: Turn on the blower 2, pour the hard capsules into the feed hopper 3. The hard capsules fall from the feed hopper 3 into the housing 1. Utilizing the principle that empty and qualified hard capsules have different masses, when the hard capsules pass the blower 2, the empty hard capsules are blown into the waste collection box 27, while the qualified hard capsules continue to fall into the finished product collection box 26, thus achieving the purpose of sorting. Rotate the drive shaft 19, which drives the third bevel gear 20 to rotate. The third bevel gear 20 drives the second bevel gear 15 to rotate. The second bevel gear 15 drives the double-acting screw 7 to rotate. The double-acting screw 7 drives the slider 6 to move in opposite directions, which in turn drives the transmission block. The transmission blocks 9 move in opposite directions, causing the baffles 4 to rotate in opposite directions, increasing the distance between the bottoms of the baffles 4, thereby adjusting the size of the discharge port. During discharge, adjusting the distance between the baffles 4 to a position slightly larger than the diameter of the hard capsule can prevent the hard capsules from clustering together during sorting, ensuring the quality of sorting. The motor 13 rotates, driving the first bevel gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the eccentric wheel 17 to rotate. The rotation of the eccentric wheel 17 generates high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration, preventing the hard capsules from being squeezed and accumulated, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing blockage.
