Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain counting machines, and in particular to a filling and conveying mechanism for a grain counting machine. Background Technology

[0002] An electronic tablet counter is a counting and filling device that uses electronic counting to fill solid granular materials such as pharmaceuticals (tablets, pills, and capsules) into medicine bottles or other containers. Existing electronic tablet counters include a feeding mechanism, a counting and dispensing mechanism, a bottle feeding mechanism, and a control device. The feeding mechanism includes several horizontally vibrating feeding channels. The counting and dispensing mechanism includes a vertical discharge pipe corresponding to the feeding channels and a counting sensor. The upper inlet of the vertical discharge pipe is aligned with the discharge hole of the feeding channel, and the lower end is aligned with the filling container.

[0003] In a conventional granule counting machine, bottles are sequentially conveyed on a conveyor belt to await filling before being transported to the next step of desiccant insertion. For some larger granules, the granules are misaligned within the bottle during filling, resulting in the bottle being full when the rated quantity is loaded, making it impossible to directly insert desiccant. Therefore, we need to shake the bottle after filling to increase the volume space inside. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a filling and conveying mechanism for a counting machine. By adding a shaking mechanism, a shaking operation is performed after filling to increase the space inside the bottle, making it easier to insert desiccant later.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes the following technical solution: a granule counting machine filling and conveying mechanism, including a mounting frame, a conveying mechanism, a shaking mechanism, a bottle feeding mechanism, and a material blocking mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt arranged in a straight line. The shaking mechanism is located between the first and second conveyor belts and is synchronously located directly below the filling port of the granule counting machine. The bottle feeding mechanism is located on the side of the first conveyor belt, close to the shaking mechanism, and pushes the bottles on the first conveyor belt into the shaking mechanism. Simultaneously, it pushes the bottles loaded with granules in the shaking mechanism into the second conveyor belt. The material blocking mechanism is synchronously located on the side of the first conveyor belt.

[0006] Preferably, both the first and second conveyor belts are chain conveyor belts, fixed on the mounting frame, and have baffles on both sides.

[0007] Preferably, the vibration mechanism includes a base, a vibrator, a vibrating plate, a telescopic clamping assembly, and a side baffle. The base is fixed on the mounting frame, the vibrator is disposed on the base, the vibrating plate is fixed above the vibrator, and the vibrating plate is flush with the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. The side baffle is located on one side of the vibrating plate, and the telescopic clamping assembly is located on the opposite side of the vibrating plate, extending to clamp the bottle during vibration.

[0008] Preferably, the telescopic clamping assembly includes a telescopic cylinder, a mounting base, and a U-shaped clamping plate. The telescopic cylinder is fixed to the vibrating plate in conjunction with the mounting base, and the U-shaped clamping plate is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the bottle feeding mechanism includes a mounting plate, a feeding cylinder, a sliding plate, a shifting fork cylinder, and a shifting fork. The mounting plate is fixed on a mounting frame on the side of the first conveyor belt, the feeding cylinder is fixed on one end of the mounting plate, the sliding plate is located on the other end of the mounting plate in conjunction with a slide rail, and the sliding plate is connected to the telescopic end of the feeding cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the material blocking mechanism consists of two sets, spaced apart on the side of the first conveyor belt, including a material blocking cylinder and a material blocking plate, with the distance between the two sets of material blocking cylinders being greater than the width of a bottle.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the granule counting and filling conveying mechanism disclosed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects: the material blocking mechanism and the feeding mechanism cooperate with each other to realize the continuous conveying of bottles between the two conveyor belts and the shaking mechanism. The design of the shaking mechanism realizes the shaking and spreading of the granules after bottling, increasing the upper space inside the bottle, which facilitates the subsequent insertion of desiccant. The whole mechanism has a simple structure and strong practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses a granule counting machine filling and conveying mechanism, including a mounting frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a shaking mechanism 3, a bottle feeding mechanism 4, and a material blocking mechanism 5. The conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt 21 and a second conveyor belt 22 arranged in a straight line. The first conveyor belt is used for conveying bottles before filling, and the second conveyor belt is used for conveying bottles after filling. The shaking mechanism is located between the first and second conveyor belts, and is synchronously located directly below the filling port of the granule counting machine to shake the bottles filled with granules. The bottle feeding mechanism is located on the side of the first conveyor belt, close to the shaking mechanism, and pushes the bottles on the first conveyor belt into the shaking mechanism. Simultaneously, it pushes the bottles filled with granules in the shaking mechanism into the second conveyor belt. The material blocking mechanism is synchronously located on the side of the first conveyor belt to prevent the bottles on the first conveyor belt from moving forward.

[0020] Specifically, both the first and second conveyor belts are chain conveyor belts, fixed on the mounting frame, with baffles 23 on both sides to block the sides of the bottles during transport and prevent them from tipping over.

[0021] The shaking mechanism structure achieves shaking after bottling through vibration, allowing the granules to spread evenly inside the bottle for easier subsequent insertion of desiccant. The specific structure is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a base 31, a vibrator 32, a vibrating plate 33, a telescopic clamping assembly 34, and a side baffle 35. The base is fixed on the mounting frame, the vibrator is mounted on the base, the vibrating plate is connected to the vibrator in the middle, and springs 36 are provided at the four corners between the vibrating plate and the base. The vibrating plate vibrates up and down under the control of the vibrator, and the springs at the four corners can play a buffering and stabilizing role. The vibrating plate is flush with the first and second conveyor belts, which facilitates the pushing of bottles onto the vibrating plate. The side baffle is located on one side of the vibrating plate and blocks the bottle on one side during vibration. The telescopic clamping assembly is located on the opposite side of the vibrating plate and extends to clamp the bottle during vibration to prevent it from tipping over.

[0022] The telescopic clamping assembly includes a telescopic cylinder 341, a mounting base 342, and a U-shaped clamping plate 343. The telescopic cylinder is fixed to the vibration plate in conjunction with the mounting base, and the U-shaped clamping plate is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder. When vibrating, it extends to hold the bottle and cooperates with the side baffle to limit the bottle's movement around its perimeter.

[0023] The structure of the bottle feeding mechanism is as follows: Figure 5As shown, it includes a mounting plate 41, a feeding cylinder 42, a sliding plate 43, a shift fork cylinder 44, and a shift fork 45. The mounting plate is fixed on the mounting frame on the side of the first conveyor belt, the feeding cylinder is fixed on one end of the mounting plate, the sliding plate is provided at the other end of the mounting plate in conjunction with the slide rail 46, and the sliding plate is connected to the telescopic end of the feeding cylinder. The shift fork cylinder is fixed on the sliding plate, and the shift fork is provided at the telescopic end of the shift fork cylinder.

[0024] Since the bottles on the first conveyor belt are in close contact, a material blocking mechanism is provided on the side of the first conveyor belt to facilitate the insertion of the fork. There are two sets of material blocking mechanisms, which are spaced apart on the side of the first conveyor belt. The mechanism includes a material blocking cylinder 51 and a material blocking plate 52. The distance between the two sets of material blocking cylinders is slightly larger than the width of a bottle. When the two sets of material blocking cylinders extend, there is a certain gap between the bottles between the two material blocking cylinders and the bottles in front and behind, which facilitates the insertion of the fork and avoids squeezing the bottles during insertion. During feeding, the fork cylinder extends to hold the bottle between the two material blocking cylinders. At the same time, the material blocking cylinder retracts and the feeding cylinder extends, pushing the bottle forward and pushing the foremost bottle into the shaking mechanism. At the same time, the bottles in the shaking mechanism are pushed into the second conveyor belt and conveyed backward.

[0025] The conveying mechanism of this utility model can be configured in two or more parallel arrangements depending on the number of material discharge ports on site, such as... Figure 1 There are two in the middle, which are suitable for counting machines with double feeding ports and can effectively improve the feeding speed.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
