The hopper has a cover. The first and second screens are located inside the hopper, with the first screen positioned above the second screen. A sealing block separating the hopper is located below the second screen inside the hopper. A first discharge port for small pills is opened between the sealing block and the second screen in the hopper. The sealing block has an inclined surface that slopes towards the first discharge port, allowing small pills to roll out of the first discharge port from the inclined surface. A connecting chamber is located on the side of the hopper. A feeding channel is opened between the first and second screens in the connecting chamber, and the feeding channel communicates with the interior of the hopper. An inclined discharge channel is opened below the second screen in the connecting chamber, and the discharge channel also communicates with the interior of the hopper. A pushing device is provided inside the hopper to push qualified pills from the second screen into the feeding channel. An opening and closing device for the feeding channel is located at the position of the feeding channel in the hopper.

[0007] A further improvement is that the pushing device includes a trapezoidal pushing block, which is slidably disposed in the hopper and resists the second screen. A screw is rotatably disposed in the hopper, which passes through the pushing block and is threadedly driven by the pushing block. A first drive motor for driving the screw to rotate is provided on the hopper.

[0008] A further improvement is that the opening and closing device includes an opening and closing plate, an electric push rod is provided on the connecting chamber, and the opening and closing plate is located on the extension rod of the electric push rod.

[0009] A further improvement is that the cover is rotatably provided with a rotating rod, and the rotating rod is provided with rotating blades, which resist the first screen.

[0010] A further improvement is that a vibrator is provided at the bottom of the second screen.

[0011] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] With a simple structure, this device can automatically sieve pills, thereby ensuring the packaging quality and dosage of the pills. It can separate out substandard pills, allowing the qualified pills to be packaged further, ensuring packaging quality, dosage of each pill, and efficacy. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a traditional Chinese medicine pill packaging machine according to an embodiment of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] refer to Figure 1The present invention discloses a packaging machine for traditional Chinese medicine pills, comprising a frame 1, a hopper 2 mounted on the frame 1, a first screen 3 for removing large particles, and a second screen 4 for removing small particles. The hopper 2 is provided with a cover 21. The first screen 3 and the second screen 4 are disposed within the hopper 2, with the first screen 3 positioned above the second screen 4. A sealing block 9, separating the hopper 2, is located below the second screen 4. A first outlet 15, allowing small pills to flow out, is provided between the sealing block 9 and the second screen 4. An inclined surface, oriented towards the first outlet 15, is provided on the hopper 2 near the sealing block 9, allowing small pills to roll out from the inclined surface. The first discharge port 15, the side of the hopper 2 is provided with a connecting chamber 7, the connecting chamber 7 is located between the first screen 3 and the second screen 4 and has a feeding channel, the feeding channel is connected to the inside of the hopper 2, the connecting chamber 7 is located below the second screen 4 and has an inclined discharge channel 8, the discharge channel 8 is connected to the inside of the hopper 2, the hopper 2 is provided with a pushing device to push qualified pills on the second screen 4 into the feeding channel, the hopper 2 is provided with an opening and closing plate 12 at the feeding channel position to open and close the feeding channel, the connecting chamber 7 is provided with an electric push rod 14, and the opening and closing plate 12 is provided on the extension rod of the electric push rod 14.

[0016] Specifically, the pushing device includes a trapezoidal pushing block 10, which is slidably disposed in the hopper 2. The pushing block 10 resists the second screen 4. A screw 11 is rotatably disposed in the hopper 2. The screw 11 passes through the pushing block 10 and is threadedly driven by the pushing block 10. A first drive motor for driving the screw 11 to rotate is provided on the hopper 2.

[0017] In operation, after the pills are placed into the hopper 2, the first screen 3 filters out pills that are too large, removing the larger ones. The smaller, qualified pills then enter the second screen 4, which filters out the smaller ones, causing them to fall onto the sealing block 9 and roll out along the inclined surface, exiting from the first discharge port 15. The qualified pills remain on the second screen 4. Then, the electric push rod 14 returns to its original position, driving the opening and closing plate 12 back to its original position, thus opening the feeding channel. The first drive motor then operates, driving the screw 11 to rotate. The screw 11 and the push block 10 are threadedly connected, causing the push block 10 to slide, pushing the qualified pills into the feeding channel and into the connecting chamber 7. From there, they fall from the discharge channel 8 into the lower part of the hopper 2, allowing the screened qualified pills to be packaged, ensuring packaging quality, dosage, and efficacy.

[0018] To improve the sieving of pills, a rotating rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the cover 21. The rotating rod 5 has rotating blades 6 that resist the first screen 3. A second drive motor is mounted on the cover 21 to rotate the rotating rod 5.
