Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical processing technology, and in particular to a high-speed pellet sorting machine with graded collection. Background Technology

[0002] A pellet sorting machine is an industrial device specifically designed for screening and grading pills. The main purposes of collecting and grading pills include improving yield, reducing coating material waste, ensuring particle size meets standards, and integrating foreign matter removal and quality grading.

[0003] Currently, some traditional pellet sorting machines on the market rely on the structural limitations of a single planar screen, achieving material separation only through vertical vibration. This results in uneven distribution of pellets on the screen surface. Qualified and defective products mix due to overlapping motion trajectories, significantly reducing grading accuracy. Some manufacturers have attempted to use cylinders to drive the screen frame to shake, but this does not address the inherent flaws of single-layer screen screening and cannot achieve fine separation of particle sizes.

[0004] To address this, a high-speed pellet sorting machine with graded collection was specially designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a high-speed shot sorting machine with graded collection.

[0006] A high-speed shot separator with graded collection includes a support frame, a mounting cover, a feed frame, a motor, a screen cylinder, lifting plates, and a guide hopper. The mounting cover is fixed at the top center of the support frame, with a processing window at the top center of the mounting cover and a primary discharge port at the bottom center of the mounting cover. The front and rear parts of the mounting cover have feed inlets and secondary discharge ports, respectively. The feed frame is connected to the feed inlet at the front of the mounting cover. The motor is mounted on the upper side of the front of the support frame, and the motor output shaft rotates through the feed frame and connects to the inside of the mounting cover. The screen cylinder is rotatably connected inside the mounting cover, and one side of the screen cylinder is connected to the motor output shaft. Multiple lifting plates are symmetrically connected around the circumference of the screen cylinder, with mating cavities between the lifting plates for material to roll down. The screen cylinder is welded from multiple equidistant mesh strips. The guide hopper is connected to the upper side of the rear of the support frame and is located below the secondary discharge port.

[0007] To further explain, the upper part of the support is designed to be sloping, with the front higher than the back, so that materials can flow out smoothly along the angle of inclination. Moreover, the components loaded on the top of the support are also sloping at the same angle, forming a unified structure.

[0008] To further explain, the guide hopper is designed with an overall inclination, and the inclination angle of the guide hopper is greater than the inclination angle of the upper part of the support, which can accelerate the material flow speed.

[0009] To further explain, the feed frame is rectangular funnel-shaped, with a wider opening at the top and a gradually narrowing bottom to guide the material from the feed frame into the screen cylinder.

[0010] Further explanation: It also includes an air tank, solenoid valves, conduits, nozzles, and a pressure gauge. An air tank is installed on one side of the upper part of the support. Multiple solenoid valves are symmetrically connected to the air outlet of the air tank along the axial direction. Multiple symmetrical conduits are connected and communicated between the frames of the upper part of the support. One end of each conduit is connected to the corresponding solenoid valve, and multiple conduits are concentrated below the primary discharge port. A nozzle is installed at the top of each conduit. A pressure gauge is installed on one side of the lower part of the air tank.

[0011] Further explanation: It also includes a mounting bracket, guide rods, springs, and cone blocks. The mounting bracket is located on the top of the mounting cover. Multiple symmetrical guide rods are slidably connected through the upper part of the mounting bracket. Corresponding springs are connected to the guide rods and the mounting bracket. A cone block is connected to the bottom end of each guide rod. The cone block is located above the processing window, and the lower end of the cone block slides in contact with the gap between the screen and the screen of the screen cylinder to press down on materials that are accidentally stuck on the screen of the screen cylinder and make them fall off.

[0012] To further explain, it also includes a controller, with a controller for operating the various electrical components installed on one side of the lower part of the bracket.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention achieves continuous tumbling and screening of pills through the dynamic cooperation of the mesh welded screen cylinder and the lifting plate. The primary discharge port collects qualified pills, and the secondary discharge port separates unqualified pills, forming a two-way graded output channel; the front high and rear low inclined layout of the support and the larger inclination angle of the guide hopper ensure that the two types of materials flow by gravity, eliminating the friction loss caused by mechanical conveying.

[0014] 2. This utility model uses an air tank and a solenoid valve to control the nozzle to spray air in a directional manner, effectively separating adhering pills and improving the screening accuracy of the primary discharge port.

[0015] 3. This utility model uses a spring-loaded cone block to contact the gap between the screen and remove stuck materials in real time, making it more suitable for high-speed rotation conditions compared to ultrasonic screen cleaning devices. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] Although this invention may be described with respect to a particular application or industry, those skilled in the art will recognize its broader applicability. Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "above," "below," "upward," "downward," etc., are used to describe the drawings and not to indicate a limitation on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

[0022] Example: A high-speed shot sorting machine with graded collection, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a support frame 1, a mounting cover 2, a feed frame 3, a motor 4, a screen cylinder 5, a lifting plate 6, and a guide hopper 17. The upper part of the support frame 1 is designed with a higher front and lower rear, allowing materials to flow out smoothly along its inclined angle. All components mounted on the top of the support frame 1 are inclined at the same angle, forming a unified structure. The mounting cover 2 is fixed in the middle of the top of the support frame 1. A processing window is opened in the middle of the top of the mounting cover 2, and a primary discharge port is opened in the middle of the bottom of the mounting cover 2. The front and rear parts of the mounting cover 2 have feed inlets and secondary discharge outlets, respectively. The feed frame 3 is connected to the feed inlet at the front of the mounting cover 2. The motor 4 is installed on the upper side of the front of the support frame 1. The output shaft of the motor 4 rotates through the feed frame 3 and connects to the inside of the mounting cover 2. The screen cylinder 5 is rotatably connected inside the mounting cover 2. The feed frame 3 is rectangular funnel-shaped with a wide opening at the top. The bottom gradually narrows to guide the material from the feed frame 3 into the screen cylinder 5. One side of the screen cylinder 5 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 4. Multiple lifting plates 6 are symmetrically connected around the circumference inside the screen cylinder 5. When the lifting plates 6 and the screen cylinder 5 rotate, they lift the pills to a certain height, causing them to roll down due to gravity, forming a cyclical tumbling motion. There are matching cavities between the multiple lifting plates 6 for the material to roll down. The screen cylinder 5 is welded from multiple equidistant mesh strips. The screen cylinder 5 achieves the grading and screening of pills through rotation and the action of the lifting plates 6. A guide hopper 17 is connected to the upper rear side of the support 1. The guide hopper 17 is located below the secondary discharge port. The guide hopper 17 is designed with an overall inclination, and the inclination angle of the guide hopper 17 is greater than the inclination angle of the upper part of the support 1, which can accelerate the material flow speed. The guide hopper 17 collects the pills that do not meet the standards and accelerates their discharge speed.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a gas tank 11, a solenoid valve 12, a conduit 13, a nozzle 14, and a pressure gauge 15. The gas tank 11 is installed on one side of the upper part of the support 1. The gas tank 11 provides gas pressure to assist in separating adhering pills. Multiple solenoid valves 12 are symmetrically connected to the outlet end of the gas tank 11 along the axial direction. Multiple symmetrical conduits 13 are connected and communicated between the frames of the upper part of the support 1. One end of each conduit 13 is connected to the corresponding solenoid valve 12, and multiple conduits 13 are concentrated below the primary discharge port. A nozzle 14 is installed at the top of each conduit 13. The conduit 13 delivers airflow to the nozzle 14. The solenoid valve 12 controls the airflow spray of the nozzle 14. The nozzle 14 sprays airflow to assist in separating adhering pills. A pressure gauge 15 is installed on one side of the lower part of the gas tank 11 to monitor the air pressure inside the gas tank 11.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a mounting frame 7, guide rods 8, springs 9, and cone blocks 10. The mounting frame 7 is provided on the top of the mounting cover 2. Multiple symmetrical guide rods 8 are slidably connected through the upper part of the mounting frame 7. A corresponding spring 9 is connected to the guide rods 8 and the mounting frame 7. A cone block 10 is connected to the bottom end of each guide rod 8. The cone block 10 maintains dynamic contact with the screen under the action of the spring 9, automatically clearing the jammed material. The cone block 10 is located above the processing window, and the lower end of the cone block 10 slides in contact with the gap between the screens of the screen cylinder 5 to press down the material accidentally stuck on the screen of the screen cylinder 5, causing it to fall off, thereby dynamically clearing the material stuck on the screen.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a controller 16. The controller 16, which controls the operation of each electrical component, is installed on one side of the lower part of the bracket 1. It coordinates the operation of each electrical component, monitors the system status in real time, and is connected to each electrical component through wires.

[0026] In use, the controller 16 is started, and the motor 4 drives the screen cylinder 5 to rotate through the output shaft. The pills to be sorted are introduced through the rectangular funnel-shaped feed frame 3. Its tapered structure ensures that the material enters the screen cylinder 5 in a concentrated manner. The screen cylinder 5 is made of welded mesh strips. During rotation, the symmetrically distributed lifting plates 6 inside continuously lift the pills. When the pills reach a certain height, they roll down into the matching cavity due to gravity, forming a cyclic tumbling motion. When the pills tumble inside the screen cylinder 5, the pills that meet the first-stage particle size standard fall through the mesh strip gaps into the bottom of the mounting cover 2 and are discharged through the first-stage discharge port; the pills that do not meet the standard are conveyed to the rear end as the screen cylinder 5 rotates. The material enters the guide hopper 17 through the secondary outlet. The inclined design of the support 1, which is higher at the front and lower at the back, combined with the larger inclination angle of the guide hopper 17, ensures that the two types of materials slide out quickly. When the pressure gauge 15 detects that the pressure of the air tank 11 is normal, the solenoid valve 12 controls the nozzle 14 at the end of the guide tube 13 to spray airflow below the primary outlet to assist in separating the adhering pills. The cone block 10 on the mounting frame 7 maintains dynamic contact with the screen under the action of the spring 9, automatically clearing the blocked material. The controller 16 coordinates the speed of the motor 4, the intensity of the airflow, and the opening and closing frequency of the solenoid valve 12 in real time. If the load on the screen cylinder 5 is abnormal, the controller 16 can adjust the torque of the motor 4.
