The present invention disclosed a full automatic medication dispensing system and methods of solid medication separation, comprising of a medication feeding device, a medication separation device, a medication distributing channel device, a medication supply device, a medication returning device and a central processing unit. The system has no requirement on the size, shape and weight of solid medications, the medications can be automatically and accurately dispensed into the sealed medication supply box according to the set parameters, and the excessive medications are automatically returned to the medication retrieving bottles. The system can remind a medication taking person to take the medication in time and supply the medications when confirmed. User can choose a portable medication box or a fixed medication box with a larger capacity. The system can be directly set, and parameters can also be set more conveniently through the mobile client and the reminding functions and the remote setting functions can be added. Medications can be taken in advance. The system can inform preset people when a dose of medications are not taken after a preset period of time, or more medications and medication dispensing are needed, The system can accurately dispense medications, and is convenient to clean, easy to use, and is of great economic, practical and medical value.

Disclosed is a device for aligning preforms in a row and righting same, the device including a bowl centrifuge formed by: a horizontal circular platen rotating about a vertical axis; a fixed peripheral rail; at least a first angular sector for aligning the preforms against the rail; and at least a second angular sector for righting the preforms. The device includes a unit for actively ejecting incorrectly aligned preforms from the row of correctly aligned and righted preforms.

A centrifugal bowl parts feeder system for various relatively heavy parts feeding including automotive bearings, gears, castings and other small, rugged and heavy part1 to 6 inches in diameter and to 5 pounds apiece. The components for this heavy duty centrifugal parts feeder system embraces a feeder bowl system with a durable, high impact bowl and surface, a drive assembly and a shaft connected to an inner disk, a set of selection tooling to separate and organize the parts, and a heavy support structure contiguous and beneath the inner disk. The system also contains both an input and output parts conveyor. All the components permit the heavy duty centrifugal bowl parts feeder system to feed and orient the relatively heavy, rugged and small.

An article feed system for aligning and singulating incoming articles includes a rotatable upper rim surface and an article delivery device that delivers articles received by the article delivery device to the upper rim surface. A drive system is operatively connected to the disk assembly that rotates the bowl assembly and the assemblies rotate at different speeds but in the same direction. A guide wall extends upwardly above the upper rim surface that guides the articles travelling along the upper rim surface toward an exit opening in the guide wall. A vertically oriented article engaging-type conveyor is at the exit opening in the guide wall. The vertically oriented article engaging-type conveyor includes a moving article engaging surface that is exposed to the exit opening in the guide wall for receiving the articles when they exit the exit opening.

An unjamming system is used in connection with mass-produced parts fed through a process by a rotating bowl feeder. The bowl feeder has a bowl with an axis of rotation and an outer wall. The parts are disposed against the outer wall by centrifugal force. The unjamming system includes a jamming region adjacent the bowl, wherein unjamming is carried out. A sensor adjacent the jamming region detects a jam. A pneumatic cylinder actuator and an air blow jet adjacent the jamming region removes the parts from the jam. The parts are returned to the bowl by the air blow jet.

A tablet supply apparatus includes: a base frame a rotary plate rotatably installed on the base frame to outwardly position a tablet by centrifugal force, and inclinedly positioned to have a top dead center point and a bottom dead center point; a transfer plate positioned to surround the rotary plate, rotated with the rotary plate, and having an inclined surface outwardly and downwardly inclined on the same level as that of the top dead center point of the rotary plate, in order to receive the tablet from the top dead center point of the rotary plate; and a guide unit disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the transfer plate, the guide unit allowing the tablet, positioned and transferred on the inclined surface of the transfer plate, to be discharged toward the rotary plate of the inspection unit by centrifugal force and a sliding movement.

Disclosed is a method for aligning preforms in a row and righting same, the method being intended for use with axisymmetric preforms having an annular supporting face. The method includes: a first step of discharging preforms in bulk onto a rotating horizontal platen; a second step of aligning the preforms against a fixed peripheral rail by way of the centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the rotating platen; a third step of successively righting the aligned preforms by tilting the preform bodies, performed under the annular supporting face. During the second alignment step, the main axis of the preforms is oriented essentially tangentially to the direction of movement. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the method.
