A multi-channel electronic pellet counter

ActiveCN224448417UPill countDrug packaging
This utility model discloses a multi-channel electronic pill counting machine, relating to the field of electronic pill counting machine technology. The utility model includes a worktable, a support frame, a feeding box, a discharge pipe, and a counting sensor. The support frame is fixedly mounted on the worktable, and the feeding box is fixedly mounted in the middle of the support frame. In this utility model, an adjustment component, through the action of a lead screw, drives an adjustment sleeve to descend vertically on the discharge pipe, thereby adjusting the overall length of the discharge pipe and the distance between the discharge pipe and the opening of the pharmaceutical packaging container. This prevents the medicine from accidentally flying out during the descent due to a large distance, thus improving the accuracy of the pill counting and packaging process. A limiting component, through the action of two arc-shaped limiting plates approaching each other, limits the pharmaceutical packaging container, preventing operational errors that could cause the container to tip over and ensuring the normal operation of the pill counting and packaging process.

A control nozzle assembly includes a port base and a lift gate and is secured to an automated pill counting system having a sloping pill outflow port. The port base includes a body for attachment to the automated counting system and a substantially-vertical and downward facing nozzle supported by the body. The nozzle has a funnel portion with a substantially-vertical passage extending therethrough. An inner side the nozzle facing the body has an opening configured for receiving at least a portion of the pill outflow port therein so that pills exiting the pill outflow port enter the nozzle and are directed downward toward the bottom outlet opening. The lift gate manually moves within a groove in the port base in a vertical direction between a blocking position which prevents the pills from entering the nozzle and a dispensing position which permits the pills to enter the nozzle.
