[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a desiccant dispenser for medicine bottles, including a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 on the side of the frame 1, a support 4 fixedly connected to the right side of the frame 1, a motor 5 mounted on the support 4 by bolts, and a dispensing mechanism 6 at the output end of the motor 5; the dispensing mechanism 6 includes a circulation device and a pushing device; the circulation device is used to automatically arrange and dispense the desiccant into the medicine bottle; the pushing device is used to automatically push the desiccant into the medicine bottle.

[0026] The circulation device includes a cam 607, which is connected to the output shaft of the motor 5 via a transmission component. A roller 616 is slidably connected to the surface of the cam 607. A pusher 606 is rotatably connected to the roller 616. Two connecting rods 608 are connected to the pusher 606. A sliding plate 604 is fixedly connected to the left end of the connecting rod 608. Multiple vertical boxes 601 are slidably connected to the surface of the sliding plate 604. Desiccant packets are stacked inside the vertical boxes 601. A fixed base plate 602 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate 604. The fixed base plate 602 is fixed to the frame 1. The operation of motor 5 drives the rotation of cam 607 through transmission components. During the rotation of cam 607, the characteristics of cam 607 are utilized to slide and squeeze pusher 606 onto fixed rod 609. Since fixed rod 7 is in a fixed state, each rotation of cam 607 will squeeze pusher 606 to the left by a certain distance. Pusher 606 will then control sliding plate 604 to slide synchronously through connecting rod 608. When sliding to the left, the slot 603 on sliding plate 604 will move to the bottom of vertical box 601, and the desiccant pack inside will sink into the slot 603. Therefore, each full rotation of cam 607 forms a triple action of picking up material, feeding material, and pushing bottle, achieving precise dispensing of desiccant pack.

[0027] The vertical box 601 is connected to the fixed base plate 602 via a connector. The sliding plate 604 has multiple slots 603 located below the vertical box 601. The fixed base plate 602 has multiple drop slots 605. Because the position of the vertical box 601 is fixed, each time the sliding plate 604 slides to the left, a "material retrieval" process occurs. The depth of the slot 603 is equal to the thickness of the desiccant pack, thus automatically retrieving one desiccant pack from inside the vertical box 601. When the slot 603 and drop slot 605 are aligned and reset, the desiccant pack inside the slot 603 automatically falls into the medicine bottle, achieving precise batch dispensing.

[0028] A fixing frame 7 is connected to the right end of the fixing rod 609. The fixing frame 7 is fixedly connected to the bracket 4. The pusher 606 is slidably connected to the fixing rod 609. The pusher 606 is elastically connected to the fixing frame 7 via a spring. By setting the spring, after the cam 607 rotates and shifts at the protrusion position, the elastic force controls the reset of the pusher 606 and the rightward sliding reset of the sliding plate 604.

[0029] The pushing device includes a support plate 610, which is fixedly connected to a sliding plate 604 via a connecting rod. A support frame 611 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 610, and a bottle pusher 614 is connected to the left side of the support frame 611. A fixed baffle 615 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, located above the conveyor belt 2. Considering the automatic discharging of medicine bottles after dispensing, a pushing device is designed. In the initial stage of equipment operation, medicine bottles are conveyed in batches via the conveyor belt 2 and enter the interior of the fixed baffle 615. When the sliding plate 604 slides to the left, it will drive the support frame 611 to slide through the support plate 610. Then, the support plate 610 will drive the bottle pusher 614 to move synchronously, and the bottle pusher 614 will push the medicine bottles conveyed on the conveyor belt 2 into the pushing trough 3 of the frame 1, and push them below the drop trough 605, facilitating the alignment and dispensing of the desiccant.

[0030] The support frame 611 is slidably connected to the fixed stop 615. The support frame 611 is fixedly connected to the bottle pusher 614 via a slide rod 612. A return spring 613 is provided between the support frame 611 and the fixed stop 615. The return spring 613 also provides a certain return force to the bottle pusher 614 and the support frame 611, improving the smoothness of the equipment operation. A pusher groove 3 is provided on the frame 1. Medicine bottles are arranged inside the pusher groove 3, and the vertical box 601 is located directly above the medicine bottles. As the equipment reciprocates, the pusher pushes the medicine bottles, and the arranged medicine bottles are squeezed step by step from the outlet of the pusher groove 3. The medicine bottles are then sealed by machine or manually.

[0031] In use, the desiccant dispenser for medicine bottles of this invention requires first stacking the desiccant packets inside multiple vertical boxes 601. Then, the motor 5 is started, driving the rotation of the cam 607 via a transmission component. During rotation, the cam 607 utilizes its characteristics to slide and compress the pusher 606 onto the fixed rod 609, which remains stationary. Therefore, each rotation of the cam 607 compresses the pusher 606, causing it to move a certain distance to the left. The pusher 606 then controls the sliding plate 604 to slide synchronously via the connecting rod 608. When sliding to the left, the sliding plate... The slot 603 on plate 604 will move to directly below the vertical box 601, and the desiccant pack inside will sink into the slot 603. Then, when the pusher 606 is pulled by the spring between it and the fixed frame 7, and the protrusion of the cam 607 disengages from the pusher 606, the spring force will pull the sliding plate 604 to reset. When it resets to its limit position, the slot 603 will coincide with the drop slot 605 on the fixed base plate 602, so the desiccant pack inside the slot 603 will automatically fall into the medicine bottle below, achieving automatic desiccant dispensing. The entire process uses an arranged dispensing method, allowing multiple desiccant packs to be dispensed at once. The specific number can be set according to actual customer needs; however, this embodiment, corresponding to the attached drawings, only shows four sets. Furthermore, considering the automatic discharging of medicine bottles after delivery, a pushing device is installed. In the initial stage of equipment operation, medicine bottles are transported in batches by conveyor belt 2 and enter the interior of fixed baffle 615. When sliding plate 604 slides to the left, it will drive the support frame 611 to slide through the connection of bracket plate 610. Then, bracket plate 610 will drive bottle pusher 614 to move synchronously. Bottle pusher 614 will push the medicine bottles transported on conveyor belt 2 into the pushing groove 3 of frame 1 and push them to the bottom of drop groove 605 to facilitate the alignment and delivery of desiccant. The fixed baffle 615 has an L-shaped structure. When conveyor belt 2 is transporting, fixed baffle 615 will prevent medicine bottles from falling from the outlet of conveyor belt 2. After being reset to the right by the sliding plate 604, the next batch of medicine bottles will be prepared for feeding again, thereby realizing the automatic feeding and dispensing of medicine bottles, improving the dispensing efficiency of desiccant. As the reciprocating operation continues, the arranged medicine bottles will be squeezed out step by step from the outlet of the feeding groove 3, and then the medicine bottles will be sealed by machine or manually.
