Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging structure technology, and more specifically, to a material collection and packaging component and a packaging device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing dispensers typically use multiple dispensing boxes containing different granular materials, such as tablets, when dispensing granular materials. The tablets from the dispensing boxes are then dropped into dispensing hoppers according to a set quantity. During this process, the dispensing hoppers need to move in multiple directions to receive the medicines from different dispensing boxes. In particular, since the dispensing boxes are generally arranged in a square pattern, the requirements for the movement and positioning of the dispensing hoppers are relatively high. Furthermore, the dispensing hoppers need to move multiple times under the dispensing boxes, resulting in complex movement paths and low dispensing efficiency, which cannot meet the requirements for rapid dispensing. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses a material collection and unloading component, which aims to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] A material collection assembly, suitable for installation below a hopper mechanism, includes: a collection funnel, the collection funnel including a collection chamber and a discharge channel, wherein the collection chamber is suitable for placement below the hopper mechanism to simultaneously receive granular material falling from the hopper mechanism, and can collect all granular material into the discharge channel for discharge; a packaging box is suitable for placement below the discharge channel to receive the collected granular material.

[0006] Furthermore, the collection chamber has an inclined surface that converges toward the material discharge channel to form a funnel shape at the material discharge channel, thereby facilitating the automatic collection of particulate materials into the material discharge channel.

[0007] Furthermore, the front end of the collection funnel is provided with a pull-out groove suitable for user operation, so that the user can easily install and remove the collection funnel.

[0008] Furthermore, a limit switch is provided at the rear end of the collection funnel to detect whether the collection funnel is installed in a preset position.

[0009] Furthermore, an infrared sensor is installed below the material feeding channel to detect whether the packaging box has moved below the material feeding channel.

[0010] Furthermore, an electric turntable is provided below the collection funnel, and multiple packaging boxes are distributed around the circumference of the electric turntable. The electric turntable rotates the packaging boxes one by one to the bottom of the material discharge channel for receiving.

[0011] Furthermore, the hopper mechanism includes multiple longitudinally and transversely arranged dispensing boxes, and each dispensing box is equipped with a counting sensor at its outlet to detect the amount of material dispensed from each dispensing box.

[0012] A dispensing device includes a hopper mechanism, a packaging box, and a material collection component, wherein the material collection component is disposed below the hopper mechanism to receive granular material falling from the material collection component, and the packaging box is disposed below the material collection component to receive granular material collected by the collection funnel.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] This solution incorporates collection funnels beneath multiple material hoppers, allowing granular materials falling from various dispensing boxes to be collected and uniformly discharged into a discharge channel. During collection, multiple dispensing boxes can discharge simultaneously, then pass through the collection funnels to the discharge channel, where they fall into the packaging boxes below. This solution improves dispensing efficiency by allowing simultaneous discharge from multiple dispensing boxes, and the packaging boxes below the collection funnels only need to be moved to receive the material, resulting in a simpler and more compact structure that further enhances dispensing efficiency.

[0021] Combination Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a dispensing device, including a housing 1, a hopper mechanism 2, a packaging box 43, and a material collection component installed inside the housing 1. The material collection component is disposed below the hopper mechanism 2 to receive granular materials falling from the material collection component, and the packaging box 43 is disposed below the material collection component to receive granular materials collected by the collection funnel 3.

[0022] It should be noted that the particulate material can be various granular products such as pharmaceutical tablets and health products.

[0023] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the material collection component described in this embodiment includes a collection funnel 3, which includes a collection chamber 31 and a material discharge channel 32. The collection chamber 31 is adapted to be placed below the hopper mechanism 2 to simultaneously receive granular materials falling from the hopper mechanism 2 and to collect all granular materials into the material discharge channel 32 for discharge. A packaging box 43 is adapted to be placed below the material discharge channel 32 to receive the collected granular materials. Here, the collection chamber 31 has an inclined surface that converges towards the material discharge channel 32 to form a funnel shape at the material discharge channel 32, thereby facilitating the automatic collection of granular materials into the material discharge channel 32. Through the collection function of the collection chamber 31, the granular materials falling from each packaging box fall directly into the collection chamber 31 and converge into the material discharge channel 32 for discharge under the action of gravity.

[0024] It should be noted that the shape of the collection funnel 3 can be set according to the layout structure of the silo mechanism 2. For example, in this embodiment, the silo mechanism 2 includes multiple longitudinally and transversely arranged dispensing boxes, so that the silo mechanism 2 forms a square structural layout. The collection cavity 31 of the collection funnel 3 can be set as a rectangular cavity that can receive material below the silo mechanism 2; in other embodiments, when the silo mechanism 2 adopts a circular distribution, the collection cavity 31 can also form a circular cavity. In addition, a counting sensor 5 is provided at the discharge port of each dispensing box to detect the amount of material discharged from each dispensing box, thereby further confirming whether the amount of material discharged is accurate.

[0025] The dispensing boxes of the hopper mechanism 2 described in this embodiment can adopt existing structures, such as existing rotary feeding methods, using troughs on the rotary wheel to dispense the granular material from the dispensing boxes one by one. The dispensing structure of the hopper mechanism 2 is connected to the control system, which is also connected to an operation display screen. The operation display screen can be used to set the dispensing quantity for each dispensing box. The technical sensors can verify whether the set quantity of granular material has been accurately dispensed from each dispensing box, and then the material is collected into the packaging box 43 through the collection funnel 3.

[0026] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with an opening for the packaging box 43 and the collection funnel 3 to enter and exit. This opening facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the collection funnel 3 for cleaning, and also makes it convenient to place and remove the packaging box 43. Preferably, a pull-out groove 33 suitable for user operation is provided at the front end of the collection funnel 3 to facilitate user assembly and disassembly of the collection funnel 3. A limit switch 6 is provided at the rear end of the collection funnel 3 to detect whether the collection funnel 3 is installed in a preset position.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, an infrared sensor 7 is provided below the material discharge channel 32. The infrared sensor 7 is used to detect whether the packaging box 43 has moved below the material discharge channel 32. By setting the infrared sensor 7, it can be ensured that the packaging box 43 below the material discharge channel 32 moves into place during material discharge, preventing particulate material from falling outside the packaging box 43.

[0028] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, an electric turntable 4 is disposed below the collection funnel 3. Multiple packaging boxes 43 are distributed circumferentially on the electric turntable 4. The electric turntable 4 rotates the packaging boxes 43 one by one to the material discharge channel 32 for receiving. The electric turntable 4 is equipped with a circular wheel with teeth formed on its outer circumference. The teeth are connected to a rotating motor 41 via a gear structure 42, and the rotating motor 41 drives the circular wheel to rotate, thereby rotating the packaging boxes 43 one by one to the material discharge channel 32 for receiving. The combination of the electric turntable 4 and the collection funnel 3 structure makes the movement path of the packaging boxes 43 simple and precise, with a short stroke, requiring only movement to the material discharge channel 32, thus improving the dispensing efficiency.

[0029] The solution in this embodiment can effectively improve the dispensing efficiency of the dispenser.

[0030] It should be understood that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of the present utility model are protected by the present utility model.
