The shaft connection position is positioned using a wedge key, similar to existing technology, to ensure stable control of the first electric motor 201 over the rotation of the drive roller 202. A conveyor belt 203 is installed between the two drive rollers 202. The rotation of the drive rollers 202 drives the conveyor belt 203, which in turn transports the tablets. The first electric motor 201, drive rollers 202, and conveyor belt 203 work together to form the conveying mechanism 2. A rotating hole is provided on one side of the positioning frame 102, and a transverse [device / structure] is inserted inside the rotating hole. The rotating shaft 301 is laterally positioned by the rotating hole, allowing the rotating shaft 301 to rotate in place. Two cams are provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 301.

A pulley is installed on one side of the rotating shaft 301. A belt is installed between the pulley and the annular groove. With the connection of the belt, the driving roller 202 can drive the rotating shaft 301 to rotate when it rotates, making full use of the driving force of the driving roller 202. In this embodiment, two symmetrically distributed positioning frames 102 are provided on one side of the stabilizing main body 1. A set of sliding holes are opened at the upper position of the positioning frames 102. The sliding holes are cylindrical. A sliding hole is opened on each side of the funnel 302. A set of sliding holes is opened on each side of the drainage shell 303. A vertical positioning pin 304 is inserted into the interior of each sliding hole. After the positioning pin 304 is installed, it achieves the effect of circumferential positioning of the funnel 302 and the drainage shell 303. A support spring is installed on the outer side of the positioning pin 304. The support spring elastically supports the drainage shell 303 upward. The positioning pins 304 on both sides are cylindrical stepped structures. The rotating shaft 301, the funnel 302, the drainage shell 303, and the positioning pins 304 cooperate with each other to form the feeding assembly 3. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 301 rotates, the cam can respectively The vibrating funnel 302 and the drainage housing 303 are used to guide the tablets to be tested. The vibration of the funnel 302 prevents the tablets from staying and allows them to fall above the drainage housing 303. An inclined screening screen is located above the drainage housing 303. As the tablets fall above the screening screen, the screening screen can initially screen obviously defective tablets as the drainage housing 303 vibrates. Defective tablets pass through the screening screen and enter the interior of the drainage housing 303 for centralized collection. An opening slot is provided on one side of the drainage housing 303. Defective tablets move outward with the opening slot, making it convenient for subsequent staff to collect the defective tablets. The remaining tablets move directly to the top of the conveyor belt 203. The conveyor belt 203 transports the tablets to the bottom of the scanning detector 101 for further screening. In this embodiment, a stabilizing hole is opened on one side of the upper part of the stabilizing body 1. A cylinder 4 is inserted inside the stabilizing hole, and the stabilizing hole stabilizes the installation position of the cylinder 4. A push block with a rectangular structure is provided at one end of the push rod of the cylinder 4.

The positioning rods 503 pass through the interior of the sliding holes. A support spring is installed on the outer side of the positioning rods 503. The stabilizing strip 501, the connecting plate 502 and the positioning rods 503 cooperate with each other to form the cleaning structure 5. The support spring pushes the brush on one side of the stabilizing strip 501 to make flexible contact with the conveyor belt 203. The conveyor belt 203 can self-clean in conjunction with the brush during the movement. In this embodiment, two stabilizing blocks are provided on one side of the gantry above the stabilizing body 1. A second electric motor 601 is installed on the outer side of one of the stabilizing blocks. A set of bolt mounting holes are opened at the corner of the stabilizing block. Matching bolts are installed between the second electric motor 601 and the bolt mounting holes. After the bolts are installed, the mounting position of the second electric motor 601 is stabilized. A rotating hole is opened in the middle of the stabilizing block. A threaded rod 602 with a rotating connection is inserted into the rotating hole. The rotation position of the threaded rod 602 and the rotating hole is adjusted according to actual needs by adding a lateral positioning structure so that the threaded rod 602 can be laterally positioned. The threaded rod 602 is... The double-threaded structure has two symmetrically distributed positioning plates 603 installed on the outer side of the threaded rod 602. Each positioning plate 603 has a threaded hole on its upper part. The threads of the two threaded holes are opposite in direction. The threaded rod 602 passes through the inside of the threaded hole. The second electric motor 601, the threaded rod 602, and the positioning plates 603 cooperate to form a positioning mechanism 6. The pitch between the threaded hole and the threaded rod 602 is processed according to actual needs so that the threaded rod 602 can be effectively threadedly connected to the threaded hole. When the threaded rod 602 rotates, it can control the two positioning plates 603 to move synchronously in opposite directions. The two positioning plates 603 cooperate to position the center of the tablet.
[0019] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the scanning detector 101 and the cylinder 4 are electrically connected in accordance with the prior art. According to actual needs, a control module is set between the scanning detector 101 and the cylinder 4. When the scanning detector 101 detects a defective tablet in the slot, it transmits a signal to the cylinder 4. The cylinder 4 works to push the defective tablet outward, thus completing the automatic separation of the defective tablet.
[0020] The working principle of this embodiment: Place the stabilizing body 1 in a suitable position on the tablet production line. Fix the scanning detector 101 to the inside of the gantry of the stabilizing body 1 with bolts. Install the drive roller 202. Fix one of the drive rollers 202 to the drive shaft of the first electric motor 201 with a wedge key. Install the funnel 302 and the drainage housing 303 on the positioning frame 102 with the positioning pin 304 so that the drainage housing 303 is in an elastic support state. Connect the drive roller 202 to the pulley and belt of the rotating shaft 301.
[0021] A defective tablet collection box needs to be placed below the opening slot of the drainage housing 303, and an independent defective tablet collection container needs to be placed outside the push block of the cylinder 4 push rod to receive the defective tablets pushed out by the cylinder 4. The tablets to be tested are poured into the funnel 302, the first electric motor 201 is started, the roller 202 is driven to move the conveyor belt 203, and the rotating shaft 301 vibrates the funnel 302 through the cam, so that the tablets fall evenly into the screening screen of the drainage shell 303. The screening screen separates obviously defective tablets by vibration. If the tablets are broken in half, the defective tablets pass through the screening screen and are collected through the opening groove, while qualified products fall into the conveyor belt 203 to continue to be transported. The conveyor belt 203 transports qualified products to the area below the scanning detector 101, which performs appearance inspection on the tablets, such as detecting missing corners and discoloration. When a defective piece is detected, the scanning detector 101 sends a signal to the cylinder 4 through the control module. The push rod of the cylinder 4 extends, and the push block pushes the defective piece out from the side of the conveyor belt 203 and into the defective piece collection container. The qualified products continue to move to the next process with the conveyor belt 203. The positioning plate 603 of the positioning mechanism 6 moves synchronously in the opposite direction to ensure that the tablets remain in the center position during the conveying process, so as to avoid deviation and affect the accuracy of detection. During equipment operation, the brush of cleaning structure 5 moves with the conveyor belt 203 to automatically clean surface dust and debris. After the daily production ends, the first electric motor 201 is started to reverse, causing the conveyor belt 203 to run in reverse, further cleaning residual debris with the help of the brush. The belt tension is checked weekly. If it is loose, the gap between the drive rollers 202 needs to be adjusted or the belt needs to be replaced. The push rod of cylinder 4 is lubricated monthly by applying molybdenum disulfide grease. The detection accuracy of scanning detector 101 is calibrated quarterly, and the recognition accuracy is verified using standard tablet samples.
