AUTOMATIC TABLET FEEDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024202 titled 'AUTOMATIC TABLET FEEDING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The automatic tablet feeding apparatus described in the patent application includes a guide duct with a receiving space to receive tablets and guide them downward. It also includes a slider that is inclined downward towards the receiving space. A first vibrator is accommodated in an outer side portion of the slider and outputs vibration energy in response to an external control signal. A vibrator controller controls the frequency of the first vibrator. An elastic support plate is received in an outer side surface of the slider. The vibrator controller includes a smoothing circuit unit that smooths a DC voltage, a main controller that generates a PWM control signal, and a voltage variable switching unit that varies the smoothed DC voltage in response to the PWM control signal and applies it to the first vibrator.
- The apparatus guides tablets downward using a guide duct and slider.
- A first vibrator outputs vibration energy to assist in tablet feeding.
- The vibrator controller controls the frequency of the first vibrator.
- An elastic support plate provides additional support to the slider.
- The vibrator controller includes a smoothing circuit unit, main controller, and voltage variable switching unit to control the DC voltage applied to the first vibrator.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Pharmaceutical industry: Automated tablet feeding in manufacturing processes.
- Healthcare facilities: Automated tablet dispensing for patients.
- Research laboratories: Precise tablet feeding for experiments and studies.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Manual tablet feeding is time-consuming and prone to errors.
- Ensures consistent and controlled tablet feeding.
- Reduces the risk of contamination or damage to tablets.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased efficiency and productivity in tablet feeding processes.
- Improved accuracy and precision in tablet dispensing.
- Reduces the need for manual labor and human intervention.
- Minimizes the risk of tablet wastage or errors.
Original Abstract Submitted
an automatic tablet feeding apparatus includes a guide duct having a receiving space defined therein to receive tablets introduced thereinto and guide the tablets downward, a slider formed to be inclined downward toward the receiving space, a first vibrator accommodated in an outer side portion of the slider and configured to output vibration energy in response to an external control signal, a vibrator controller configured to control the frequency of the first vibrator, and an elastic support plate received in an outer side surface of the slider. the vibrator controller includes a smoothing circuit unit smoothing a dc voltage, a main controller generating a pwm control signal, and a voltage variable switching unit varying the dc voltage smoothed by the smoothing circuit unit in response to the pwm control signal from the main controller and applying the dc voltage to the first vibrator.
