Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machine technology, and in particular to a pill feeding device for a packaging machine. Background Technology
[0002] Packaging machines are devices used to package products, protecting them and enhancing their appearance. They come in many varieties, categorized by type (liquid, powder, granule, etc.) and by automation level (semi-automatic, fully automatic, etc.). These machines utilize color touchscreens and PLC control, enabling bag making, metering, and filling to be completed in one operation. They also feature separate pneumatic and electrical controls, low noise, and stable performance. Employing dual-belt servo die pulling and dual-servo control, they produce well-formed and dimensionally accurate packaging bags, making them widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical industries.
[0003] However, the packaging machine is prone to slipping and spilling pills during feeding and filling, which leads to increased pill loss and higher costs, pollution of the production environment and difficulty in cleaning and maintenance, spilled pills mixed into equipment parts, aggravating wear and shortening equipment life, frequent shutdowns for cleaning and interruption of production, reduced efficiency, and affects the metering accuracy of packaged products, resulting in substandard product quality. At the same time, it may also cause safety hazards caused by spilled materials, such as operators slipping and falling. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems in the existing technology of easy slippage and spillage of pills during the feeding and filling of packaging machines, which leads to increased pill loss and increased costs, pollution of the production environment and impact on cleaning and maintenance, spilled pills mixed into equipment parts, aggravated wear and shortened equipment life, frequent machine shutdowns for cleaning and interruption of production, reduced efficiency, and impact on the metering accuracy of packaged products, resulting in substandard product quality. At the same time, it may also cause safety hazards caused by material spillage, such as operators slipping and falling. Therefore, a pill feeding device for packaging machines is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a pill feeding device for a packaging machine, comprising a machine body and a clamping device. A mounting frame is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the machine body, and a feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame. The lower surface of the feeding hopper passes through the mounting frame and has a feeding port. The clamping device is disposed on the surface of the machine body. The clamping device includes a cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the machine body. The driving end of the cylinder passes through the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to a driving rod. A circle is fixedly connected to the surface of the driving rod, and a locking rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circle. A collection tray is fixedly connected to one end of the locking rod, and a discharge port is opened at one end of the collection tray. A sealing plug is inserted into the inner wall of the discharge port on one side of the collection tray. By setting up the clamping device, the filling container can be accurately fixed, reducing container displacement caused by the inertia of the drive belt starting and stopping, reducing the risk of pill slippage. The sponge pad cushions and protects the container, preventing deformation and damage. The collection tray promptly catches the fallen pills, reducing waste and pollution. Furthermore, the recycling operation is simple, saving manpower and material costs.
[0006] Preferably, the upper surface of the circle has a threaded hole, and a lead screw is threadedly connected to the surface of the circle. By setting the lead screw, rotating the lead screw will disengage it from the clamp, and the restriction of the recycling tray will be released. The operator can easily press the recycling tray to tilt it, allowing the pills in the recycling tray to roll out smoothly, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of recycling.
[0007] Preferably, the lead screw and the clamping rod are in contact. The surface of the lead screw is provided with anti-slip texture. By setting the clamping rod, when the filling container is transported to the bottom of the hopper and the transmission belt stops, the cylinder and the drive rod are linked to drive the recovery disc to clamp the filling container. The sponge pad protects the container to reduce compression deformation. The recovery disc can catch the pills that fall during the filling process. After filling is completed, the lead screw is rotated to disengage from the clamping rod, the sealing plug is pulled out and the recovery disc is pressed to achieve tilted recovery of the pills, reducing pill spillage loss and improving the material recycling rate.
[0008] Preferably, a sponge pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the recycling tray. There are two recycling trays, which are arranged symmetrically. By setting up the recycling trays, during the filling process, the recycling trays can catch the pills that are spilled due to sliding, reducing the loss and pollution caused by the pills falling directly to the ground. With the help of the clamping device, the recycling trays clamp the filling container under the action of the cylinder and the drive rod. The sponge pad on its surface plays a protective role and reduces the deformation of the container due to compression.
[0009] Preferably, a baffle assembly is provided on one side of the mounting frame. The baffle assembly includes a sliding sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the machine body. A push rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve, and a vertical pole is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod. By setting up the baffle assembly, the movement trajectory of the filling container can be effectively standardized. By using the linkage between the threaded rod and the push rod, the container is guided to move forward in a straight line through the vertical pole, reducing container tilting and enabling the filling container to stop accurately below the hopper. This improves the accuracy and stability of feeding and filling, ensures a smooth filling process, and increases production efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve is rotatably connected to a threaded rod, and the surface of the push rod is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the push rod. By setting the threaded rod, the front and rear positions of the push rod can be flexibly adjusted, and the upright connected to the push rod moves accordingly.
[0011] Preferably, there are two uprights, which are arranged symmetrically.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a clamping device, during use, the transmission belt in the machine body transports the filling container to the bottom of the feeding hopper and then the transmission belt closes. Subsequently, the pills in the feeding hopper fall into the filling container through the feeding port. During this process, the cylinder and the drive rod drive the recovery disc to clamp the filling container. The sponge pad protects the filling container and reduces the possibility of the filling container being squeezed and deformed. During the filling process, any pills that fall will be caught by the recovery disc. After filling is completed, the screw is rotated to disengage from the clamping rod. At this time, the sealing plug is pulled out and the recovery disc is pressed to tilt, and the pills in the recovery disc roll out for easy recycling. By setting up a clamping device, the filling container can be accurately fixed, reducing the displacement of the container due to the inertia of the transmission belt starting and stopping, reducing the risk of pills slipping. The sponge pad cushions and protects the container to prevent deformation and damage. The recovery disc promptly catches the fallen pills, reducing waste and pollution. Moreover, the recycling operation is simple and saves manpower and material costs.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a baffle assembly, during the movement of the filling container, the threaded rod is rotated, which drives the push rod to move back and forth, and the upright rod follows the push rod to move. This facilitates guiding the filling container to move forward in a straight line, reducing the possibility of tilting. By setting up the baffle assembly, the movement trajectory of the filling container can be effectively standardized. By utilizing the linkage between the threaded rod and the push rod, the upright rod guides the container to move forward in a straight line, reducing container tilting and ensuring that the filling container can accurately stop below the hopper. This improves the accuracy and stability of feeding and filling, ensures a smooth filling process, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The lower surface of the feeding hopper 3 passes through the mounting frame 2 and has a feeding port. The clamping device 4 is disposed on the surface of the machine body 1.
[0022] In this implementation scheme: the clamping device 4 includes a cylinder 41, which is fixedly connected to the machine body 1. The driving end of the cylinder 41 passes through the mounting frame 2 and is fixedly connected to a driving rod 42. A circle 45 is fixedly connected to the surface of the driving rod 42. A locking rod 47 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circle 45. A recycling tray 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the locking rod 47. A discharge port is opened at one end of the recycling tray 43. A sealing plug 49 is inserted into the inner wall of the discharge port on one side of the recycling tray 43. By setting the clamping device 4, the filling container can be accurately fixed, reducing the displacement of the container due to the inertia of the drive belt starting and stopping, reducing the risk of pill slippage. The sponge pad 44 cushions and protects the container to prevent deformation and damage. The recycling tray 43 promptly receives the dropped pills, reducing waste and pollution. Moreover, the recycling operation is simple and saves manpower and material costs.
[0023] Specifically, a threaded hole is provided on the upper surface of the circle 45, and a lead screw 46 is threadedly connected to the surface of the circle 45. By setting the lead screw 46, rotating the lead screw 46 disengages it from the clamp 47, and the restriction of the recycling disc 43 is released. The operator can easily press the recycling disc 43 to tilt it, allowing the pills in the recycling disc 43 to roll out smoothly, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of recycling.
[0024] Specifically, the lead screw 46 contacts the clamping rod 47. The surface of the lead screw 46 is provided with anti-slip texture. By setting the clamping rod 47, when the filling container is transported to the bottom of the hopper 3 and the transmission belt stops, the cylinder 41 and the drive rod 42 drive the recovery disc 43 to clamp the filling container. The sponge pad 44 protects the container and reduces compression deformation. The recovery disc 43 can catch the pills that fall during the filling process. After the filling is completed, the lead screw 46 is rotated to disengage from the clamping rod 47, the sealing plug 49 is pulled out and the recovery disc 43 is pressed to achieve the tilting recovery of the pills, reduce pill spillage loss and improve the material recycling rate.
[0025] Specifically, a sponge pad 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the recycling tray 43. There are two recycling trays 43, which are arranged symmetrically. By setting up the recycling trays 43, during the filling process, the recycling trays 43 can catch the pills that are spilled due to sliding, reducing the loss and pollution caused by the pills falling directly to the ground. In conjunction with the clamping device 4, the recycling trays 43 clamp the filling container under the action of the cylinder 41 and the drive rod 42. The sponge pad 44 on its surface plays a protective role and reduces the deformation of the container due to compression.
[0026] Specifically, a enclosure assembly 48 is provided on one side of the mounting frame 2. The enclosure assembly 48 includes a sliding sleeve 481, which is fixedly connected to the body 1. A push rod 482 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 481, and a vertical rod 483 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 482.
[0027] In this embodiment: by setting up the enclosure component 48, the movement trajectory of the filling container can be effectively regulated. By using the linkage of the threaded rod 484 and the push rod 482, the container is guided to move forward in a straight line through the upright rod 483, reducing container tilting and enabling the filling container to stop accurately below the feeding hopper 3, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of feeding and filling, ensuring a smooth filling process, and improving production efficiency.
[0028] Specifically, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 481 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 484, and the surface of the push rod 482 is provided with a threaded hole, and the threaded rod 484 is threadedly connected to the push rod 482.

[0030] Specifically, there are two poles 483, and the two poles 483 are set symmetrically.
[0031] Working principle: By setting up the clamping device 4, during use, the transmission belt in the machine body 1 transports the filling container to the bottom of the feeding hopper 3 and then the transmission belt closes. Subsequently, the pills in the feeding hopper 3 fall into the filling container through the feeding port. During this process, the cylinder 41, in conjunction with the drive rod 42, drives the recovery disc 43 to clamp the filling container. The sponge pad 44 protects the filling container and reduces the possibility of the filling container being squeezed and deformed. During the filling process, the pills that fall will be caught by the recovery disc 43. After the filling is completed, the screw 46 is rotated to disengage from the clamping rod 47. At this time, the sealing plug 49 is pulled out and the recovery disc 43 is pressed to tilt, and the pills in the recovery disc 43 roll out for easy recycling. By setting up the clamping device 4, the filling container can be accurately fixed, reducing the displacement of the container due to the inertia of the transmission belt starting and stopping, and reducing the risk of pills slipping. The sponge pad 44 buffers and protects the container to prevent deformation and damage. The recovery disc 43 promptly catches the fallen pills, reducing waste and pollution. Moreover, the recycling operation is simple and saves manpower and material costs.
[0032] By setting up the containment component 48, during the movement of the filling container, the threaded rod 484 is rotated, which drives the push rod 482 to move back and forth. The upright rod 483 moves with the push rod 482, which helps guide the filling container to move in a straight line and reduces the possibility of tilting. By setting up the containment component 48, the movement trajectory of the filling container can be effectively standardized. By using the linkage between the threaded rod 484 and the push rod 482, the upright rod 483 guides the container to move in a straight line, reducing the tilting of the container and enabling the filling container to stop accurately below the feeding hopper 3. This improves the accuracy and stability of feeding and filling, ensures a smooth filling process, and improves production efficiency.
