A pill grasping method comprises rotating a grasping arm with a nozzle to a predetermined initial position driven by a driving mechanism, rotating a number of pill storage cases to position one of the pill storage cases with a set number of pills to a predetermined grasping pill position driven by an actuating mechanism, rotating the grasping arm to enter into the corresponding pill storage case, starting a pump to generate a vacuum in the nozzle for sucking a pill, and determining if an actual pressure value in a pipe connecting the nozzle to the pump is less than a predetermined pressure value. The grasping arm is rotated to the predetermined initial position when the actual pressure value is less than the predetermined pressure value.

Automatic pill grasping apparatus and method

An automatic pill grasping apparatus includes an enclosure, a control chip, a pill grasping mechanism, and a pill storage mechanism. The enclosure includes a base. The pill grasping mechanism includes a grasping arm, a nozzle, and a driving mechanism. The nozzle being is engaged with the grasping arm, and the driving mechanism is attached to the base. The pill storage mechanism includes a plurality of pill storage cases for storing pills and an actuating mechanism attached to the base. The control chip is configured to control the actuating mechanism to rotate the plurality of pill storage cases in a first plane substantially parallel to the base and control the driving mechanism to rotate the grasping arm in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane, for rotating the nozzle to stretch into the one of the plurality of pill storage cases to pick a pill.

Automatic pill grasping apparatus

A belt adjusting device of a printer includes a bracket, a base, a driving device, and a resisting member. The bracket includes a bottom wall and a belt placed on the bottom wall. The belt is loop-shaped. The base is slidably mounted to the bracket. The driving device is mounted to the base and includes an eccentric device engaging with the belt. The resisting member resists the driving device to enable the eccentric device to rotate to adjust the belt when the base slides relative to the bracket.

Belt adjusting device of printer

An adjusting apparatus includes a shaft, a rack, and a gear. The shaft includes a cam portion contacting a bracket and a securing portion. The cam portion includes a first outer edge and a second outer edge connected to the first outer edge. The cam portion defines a pivoting axis. The distance between the first outer edge and the pivoting axis is less than the distance between the second outer edge and the pivoting axis. The gear is toothed and secured to the shaft and the rack defines a plurality of slots engaged by the toothed gear. The rack is used to drive the gear and the shaft to be rotated.

Printer with adjusting apparatus

A printer includes a chassis, an ink cartridge, and an adjusting unit. The ink cartridge carrier is mounted to the chassis. A projection extends from the ink cartridge carrier. The adjusting unit includes a rotating shaft, a cam fixed to the rotating shaft, and a gear fixed to the rotating shaft. The gear includes a number of teeth. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted to the ink cartridge carrier. The projection is clipped between two adjacent teeth. The cam abuts against the chassis.
