Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a high-efficiency capsule sorting device, belonging to the technical field of capsule sorting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Capsules are widely used in modern medicine. Encapsulating drugs not only protects the drug's efficacy but also protects the digestive and respiratory systems. However, some defective products are inevitable during capsule production, such as empty capsules or capsules with insufficient drug content. These defective products need to be sorted out before leaving the factory. When workers sort defective capsules by hand, they inevitably come into contact with qualified capsules, which can contaminate the capsules.
[0003] Application CN202110239676.6 discloses a highly efficient capsule sorting device that avoids secondary contamination, comprising a conveyor plate and a fence. Two sets of conveyor plates are symmetrically arranged, with their upper ends fixedly connected to a conveyor table. Two sets of fences are symmetrically arranged, with a fixed connecting plate at the lower end of each fence. A collection box is located at the outer end of the fence, and a U-shaped plate is located on the inner side of the fence. A passive rotating shaft is located on the left side of the lower end of the fence, and an active rotating shaft is located on the right side of the lower end of the fence. A conveyor belt is located between the passive and active rotating shafts. In this invention, the arrangement of two sets of nozzles inside the U-shaped plate creates an impact force on the capsules through the gas emitted from the nozzles. When a capsule is empty or has insufficient medication, it is sprayed into the collection box by the gas emitted from the nozzles. The entire process eliminates the need for workers to manually sort the capsules, preventing the transfer of bacteria from workers' hands to the capsules and avoiding secondary contamination.
[0004] However, the device still has the following problems: the device separates the capsules one by one by conveying them onto a conveyor belt and then uses gas impact to screen them. However, the angles of the capsules facing the nozzles on the conveyor belt are different, so the forces they experience during gas impact are different, which affects the sorting effect.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a new solution. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-efficiency capsule sorting device to overcome the shortcomings of the devices in the background art.
[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:
[0008] A high-efficiency capsule sorting device includes a frame, a vibrating plate mounted at an angle on the top of the frame, a storage box mounted on the top of the higher end of the vibrating plate, a collection box located below the other end of the vibrating plate, an air jet assembly located above the collection box below the lower end of the vibrating plate, multiple evenly distributed guide grooves on the top of the vibrating plate, a baffle mounted on the top of the vibrating plate, a vibration motor mounted on the bottom of the vibrating plate, multiple elastic elements connecting the vibrating plate and the frame, and a partition plate slidably mounted in the middle of the collection box.
[0009] Preferably, the jet assembly includes a fan, the outlet end of which is connected to a strip box installed below the lower end of the vibrating plate, a nozzle is connected to the side wall of the strip box near the collection box, and a filter screen is installed at the inlet end of the fan.
[0010] Preferably, a guide plate is connected to the lower end of the vibrating plate.
[0011] Preferably, the elastic element includes a fixed shell mounted on the frame, a first spring mounted on the inner side of the fixed shell, and a connecting rod mounted on the vibration plate connected to the top of the first spring.
[0012] Preferably, a feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box, and an opening and closing plate is inserted into the feeding pipe.
[0013] Preferably, the top of the vibrating plate is fixedly connected to two first screws, and the baffle is provided with a sliding hole that is slidably connected to the first screws.
[0014] Preferably, a second spring is installed on the outer wall of the first screw between the vibrating plate and the baffle, and a nut is threaded onto the outer wall of the first screw at the top of the baffle.
[0015] Preferably, the front and rear side walls of the collection box are provided with sliding grooves, and the front and rear ends of the partition plate are fixedly connected with sliding rods that are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.
[0016] Preferably, one end of the slide bar is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, and a fastening screw that abuts against the outer wall of the collection box is threaded onto the connecting plate.
[0017] Preferably, the connecting plate has a screw hole that mates with the fastening screw, and one end of the fastening screw is connected to a handle.
[0018] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: According to the high-efficiency capsule sorting device of this utility model, a guide channel is set on the vibrating plate. The width of the guide channel is only wide enough to allow one capsule to pass vertically. A baffle is installed on the top of the vibrating plate, and the distance between the baffle and the bottom of the guide channel is only enough for one capsule to pass through. Therefore, when the vibrating motor vibrates, the capsules on the vibrating plate slide down the guide channel one by one under the action of the baffle and the guide channel, ensuring that the angle facing the nozzle is the same when the capsules slide off the vibrating plate. Thus, the force on the capsules is the same, improving the sorting effect. The partition plate separates the collection box into qualified and unqualified product boxes. When the capsules slide off the vibrating plate, the gas sprayed from the nozzle impacts the capsules. Since qualified capsules are relatively heavier than unqualified capsules, qualified capsules will fall into the qualified product box closer to the frame, while unqualified capsules will fall into the unqualified product box. The width of the qualified product box can be adjusted by sliding the partition plate, thus accommodating capsules of different specifications. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of this utility model more clearly, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the high-efficiency capsule sorting device provided in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a vibrating plate 2 is inclinedly installed on the top of the frame 1, a storage box 3 is installed on the top of the higher end of the vibrating plate 2, a collection box 4 is provided below the other end of the vibrating plate 2, an air jet assembly is provided below the lower end of the vibrating plate 2 and above the collection box 4, a plurality of evenly distributed guide grooves 5 are opened on the top of the vibrating plate 2, a baffle 6 is installed on the top of the vibrating plate 2, a vibration motor 7 is installed at the bottom of the vibrating plate 2, a plurality of elastic elements 12 are connected between the vibrating plate 2 and the frame 1, and a partition plate 19 is slidably installed in the middle of the collection box 4. By setting up the vibrating plate 2, a guide channel 5 is set on the vibrating plate 2. The width of the guide channel 5 is only enough to allow one capsule to pass vertically. A baffle 6 is installed on the top of the vibrating plate 2. The distance between the baffle 6 and the bottom of the guide channel 5 is only enough for one capsule to pass through. Therefore, when the vibrating motor 7 vibrates, the capsules on the vibrating plate 2 slide down the guide channel 5 one by one under the action of the baffle 6 and the guide channel 5, thus ensuring that the angle facing the nozzle 10 is the same when the capsules slide off the vibrating plate 2. Therefore, the force on the capsules is the same, which improves the sorting effect. By setting up the separator 19, the separator 19 divides the collection box 4 into a qualified product box and an unqualified product box. When the capsules slide off the vibrating plate 2, the gas sprayed from the nozzle 10 impacts the capsules. Since the qualified capsules are relatively heavier than the unqualified capsules, the qualified capsules will fall into the qualified product box closer to the side of the frame 1, and the unqualified capsules will fall into the unqualified product box. The width of the qualified product box can be adjusted by sliding the separator 19, so as to be suitable for use with capsules of different specifications.

A second spring 17 is installed on the outer wall of the first screws 15, located between the vibrating plate 2 and the baffle 6. A nut 18 is threaded onto the outer wall of the first screws 15, located at the top of the baffle 6. Through the arrangement of the second spring 17, the first screws 15, and the nut 18, the height of the baffle 6 can be adjusted according to different capsule sizes.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front and rear side walls of the collection box 4 are provided with sliding grooves 401. Both ends of the partition plate 19 are fixedly connected to sliding rods 191 that slidably connect to the sliding grooves 401. One end of each sliding rod 191 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 192. A fastening screw 20, which abuts against the outer wall of the collection box 4, is threaded onto the connecting plate 192. The connecting plate 192 has a screw hole 193 that mates with the fastening screw 20. One end of the fastening screw 20 is connected to a handle 201. In use, the partition plate 19 is slid to adjust its position, and the fastening screw 20 is tightened to fix the partition plate 19.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-6 As shown, the working process of the high-efficiency capsule sorting device provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] Step 1: The vibration motor 7 is started, which drives the vibration plate 2 to open the opening and closing plate 14 on the feed pipe 13, and the capsule falls onto the vibration plate 2;
[0035] Step 2: The capsules on the vibrating plate 2 are blocked by the baffle 6 and can only slide down the guide channel 5 one by one;
[0036] Step 3: When the capsule slides off the vibrating plate 2, the nozzle 10 sprays gas that impacts the capsule, and the qualified capsule and the unqualified capsule fall on the two sides of the separator 19 in the collection box 4 respectively.
