[0002] During hospitalization, patients need to take medications on time every day to control symptoms, stabilize their condition, and promote recovery. As a result, hospital staff need to remove the capsules and other medications that need to be dispensed each day from their packaging, which is a large and tedious task. Therefore, technicians have developed a capsule dispensing device to help medical staff remove large quantities of medications that need to be dispensed in advance, thereby reducing their workload.

[0003] However, in the application of capsule dispensing devices, different types of capsules and other drugs vary in size, resulting in different thicknesses of the drug packaging blister pack and the spacing between drugs in the blister pack. If the drug is too small, it cannot be effectively squeezed out, while if the drug is too large, it is easy to damage the drug. There is a technical problem that the position and spacing of the dispensing components of the dispensing device cannot be adjusted to suit different types of drugs and make its use more economical.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a capsule dispensing device, including a tank 1 and a positioning shaft 11 disposed between the two sides of the tank 1 near the top center, and also includes:

[0027] The extrusion dispensing mechanism is located at the middle of the top between the two sides inside the tank 1. The mechanism includes a drive motor 5, a housing 6, a buffer sleeve 7, a rotating roller 12, a pulley 15, and a reduction belt 16. The rotating roller 12 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top between the two sides inside the tank 1 via bearings. The housing 6 is located at the rear end of the top of one side of the tank 1. The drive motor 5 is located at the rear end of one side of the housing 6. A pulley 15 is located between the output end of the drive motor 5 and the housing 6 on the side of the rotating roller 12. A reduction belt 16 is located between the outer sides of the pulley 15. When the equipment is in use, the drive motor 5 is started, and the reduction belt 16 is used to dispensing the medication. The speed belt 16 transmits power to the rotating roller 12, thereby driving the rotating roller 12 to rotate between the two sides inside the tank 1. The outer side of the rotating roller 12 is provided with a buffer sleeve 7. The lower clamping plate 8 is set outside the positioning shaft 11. The front end of the top of the tank 1 is provided with a positioning seat 10. When the rotating roller 12 rotates, the medical staff can push the medicine plate through the positioning seat 10 between the rotating roller 12 and the lower clamping plate 8. The capsules and other drugs are squeezed out of the medicine plate by the upper and lower squeezing. At the same time, the buffer sleeve 7 is used to buffer and protect the drug from being damaged by excessive pressure. The bottom of the tank 1 between the two sides is inclined and a medicine outlet hopper 9 is provided to discharge the drugs.

[0028] The lifting and positioning structure is located between the two sides of the positioning shaft 11 and the two sides of the groove 1 near the middle. The lifting and positioning structure includes a fixed plate 2, an adjusting screw 3, a lifting seat 4, a reserved slot 13, and a through sleeve 14. The fixed plate 2 is located at the middle position near the bottom on both sides of the groove 1. The reserved slot 13 is located at the middle position on both sides inside the groove 1. The through sleeve 14 is inserted inside the fixed plate 2. The adjusting screw 3 passes through the inside of the through sleeve 14. The inner side wall of the through sleeve 14 is provided with threads that match the outer threads of the adjusting screw 3. The lifting seat 4 is rotatably connected to both sides of the positioning shaft 11 via the internal thread. The top of the adjusting screw 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner side of the lifting seat 4. Rotating the adjusting screw 3 can adjust its lifting and lowering movement within the through sleeve 14, thereby driving the lifting seat 4, which is rotatably connected to it, to lift and lower, thereby driving the positioning shaft 11 and the lower clamp 8 to lift and lower. The lifting seat 4 is L-shaped and is embedded in the interior of the reserved groove 13. The lifting seat 4 can lift and lower within the reserved groove 13. When the lifting seat 4 lifts and lowers, it is limited and stabilized by the reserved groove 13.

[0029] When in use, the adjusting screw 3, which is threadedly connected to the through-sleeve 14, is rotated to remove different types of drugs as needed. This allows the height of the lifting seat 4, which is rotatably connected to the top of the adjusting screw 3, to be adjusted. This, in turn, adjusts the position and height of the positioning shaft 11 and the lower clamping plate 8, thereby adjusting the distance between the lower clamping plate 8 and the rotating roller 12 to suit the thickness of the medicine plate that needs to be removed. The "L"-shaped lifting seat 4 is embedded in the reserved groove 13. When it is raised or lowered, it is limited and stabilized by the reserved groove 13 to ensure the stability of the positioning shaft 11 and the lower clamping plate 8.

[0030] A hexagonal adjusting sleeve 17 is rotatably connected to one side of the lower clamping piece 8 outside the positioning shaft 11. The inner side of the hexagonal adjusting sleeve 17 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer side of the positioning shaft 11 is provided with an external thread that mates with the inner thread of the hexagonal adjusting sleeve 17. By rotating the hexagonal adjusting sleeve 17, which is threaded to the outer side of the positioning shaft 11 and rotatably connected to one side of the lower clamping piece 8, the lower clamping piece 8 can be moved horizontally outside the positioning shaft 11, thereby adjusting the position spacing of the lower clamping piece 8 outside the positioning shaft 11 according to the size of the tablet and its spacing on the tablet plate.

[0031] Working principle: When using the capsule dispensing device, firstly, adjust the height of the lifting seat 4 by rotating the adjusting screw 3 according to the different types and sizes of capsules and other drugs. This adjusts the position and height of the positioning shaft 11 and the lower clamp 8, thereby adjusting the distance between the lower clamp 8 and the rotating roller 12 to suit the thickness of the medicine plate that needs to be dispensed. At the same time, the reserved groove 13 is used to limit and stabilize the lifting seat 4. Then, the hexagonal adjusting sleeve 17 is rotated horizontally to adjust the position and distance of the lower clamp 8 according to the size of the tablets and their spacing on the medicine plate. When using the equipment, start the drive motor 5 to transmit power to the rotating roller 12 through the pulley 15 and the reduction belt 16. This drives the rotating roller 12 to rotate between the two sides inside the trough 1. When the rotating roller 12 rotates, the medical staff can push the medicine plate through the positioning seat 10 between the rotating roller 12 and the lower clamp 8. The capsules and other drugs are squeezed out of the medicine plate by the upper and lower pressure. At the same time, the buffer sleeve 7 is used to buffer and protect the drug from excessive pressure and damage. Then, the dispensed drugs are discharged and collected through the dispensing hopper 9.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
