请参阅图1与图2，其示出了本发明其中一实施例提供的落料机构的一个方向的立体示意图和分解示意图，该落料机构包括转动件100、第一端盖200、第一阀门模块300、第二端盖400、第二阀门模块500和驱动模块600。
其中，转动件100设有用于容置胶囊的储料空间；第一端盖200和第二端盖400分别盖设于转动件100的两端，且分别设有与上述储料空间连通的进料孔与出料孔，两端盖固定连 接，转动件100能够在两者之间做旋转运动；第一阀门模块300设于转动件100与第一端盖200之间，用于开闭上述进料孔；第二阀门模块500设于转动件100与第二端盖400之间，用于开闭上述的出料孔；驱动模块600用于驱动转动件100于两端盖之间转动。
请参照图3和图4，其分别示出了转动件100的两个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1与图2，该转动件100整体呈圆柱状，其中央部位同轴地设有轴向贯通的储料空间110，优选的，储料空间110为圆柱状。
转动件100靠近第一端盖200的一端设有朝储料空间凹陷形成的第一沉台，第一阀门模块位于该第一沉台；转动件100靠近第二端盖400的一端设有朝储料空间凹陷形成的第二沉台，第二阀门模块位于该第二沉台。
转动件100面向第一端盖200的一端设有三条第一曲槽120，该三条第一曲槽120设于上述的第一沉台并绕转动件100的轴线角度间隔均匀分布。具体的，第一曲槽120包括沿转动件100的周向延伸的呈圆弧状的第一部分121，以及自该第一部分121的一端起始向远离转动件100的轴线的方向延伸的第二部分122。在本实施例中，第二部分122为与第一部分121靠近其的一端的法线具有一定夹角的直线形状。在本发明的其他实施例中，第二部分122还可以是呈圆弧状，只要是朝远离转动件100的轴线延伸即可。以图2中的视角为参考，结合图3所示，第一部分121靠近第二部分122的一端向其另一端为整体沿逆时针方向延伸。
转动件100面向第二端盖400的一端设有三条第二曲槽130，该三条第二曲槽130设于上述的第二沉台并绕转动件100的轴线角度间隔均匀分布。具体的，第二曲槽130包括沿转动件100的周向延伸的呈圆弧状的第三部分131，以及自该第三部分131的一端起始向远离转动件100的轴线的方向延伸的第四部分132。在本实施例中，第四部分132为，与第三部分131靠近第四部分132的一端的法线具有一定夹角的直线形状。在本发明的其他实施例中，第四部分132还可以是呈圆弧状或者其他形状，只要是朝远离转动件100的轴线延伸即可。如图4所示，第三部分131靠近第四部分132的一端向其另一端为整体沿逆时针方向延伸；但由于图4与图3的观察方向刚好相反，所以第三部分131靠近第四部分132的一端指向其另一端的方向，恰好与第一部分121靠近第二部分122的一端指向其另一端的方向相反。本段落中所述的“方向相反”可以理解为上述的两个指向中的一个与转动件转动的方向一致，另一个与转动件转动的方向相反。
请参照图5，其示出了第一端盖200的一个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1至图4，第一端盖200整体呈扁平状的圆柱形，其中部设有贯通的进料孔210。第一端盖200盖设于转动件100的顶端，优选的，第一端盖200与转动件100同轴设置。进料孔210与上述的储料空间110连通，优选的进料孔210与储料空间110同轴设置。
第一端盖200面向转动件100的端面设有三个与储料空间110平行延伸的第一轴孔230，该三个第一轴孔230绕转动件100的轴线角度间隔均匀分布。优选的，第一轴孔230整体贯穿第一端盖200。
第一端盖200的边缘还设有若干个向第二端盖400延伸的第一固定片220，第一固定片 220整体呈Z形，其一端固定于第一端盖200的边缘，另一端延伸向第二端盖400，用以与下文中第二端盖400上的第二固定片固定连接。
参照图6，其示出了第一挡板的一个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1至图5，第一阀门模块300整体设于第一端盖200与转动件100之间，包括三个第一挡板310，该三个第一挡板310同样绕转动件100转动的轴线角度间隔均匀分布，且该三个第一挡板310与上文中的第一轴孔230、第一曲槽120一一对应。
第一挡板310整体呈一扁平的镰刀形板状结构，其靠近第一端盖200的一端设有与所述第一轴孔230相适配的第一转轴311，第一转轴311插入第一轴孔230并可绕第一轴孔230的轴线转动，故第一挡板310能够凭借第一转轴311与第一轴孔230的配合实现其与第一端盖200的相对转动。
第一挡板310靠近转动件100的一端设有与所述第一曲槽120相适配的第一导柱312，第一导柱312插入第一曲槽120并可沿第一曲槽120相对滑动。
各第一轴孔230和各第一曲槽120组成了用于在所述转动件100转动时，控制所述第一阀门模块300关闭或打开进料孔210的第一导向模块。
请参照图7至图9，其分别示出了第一导柱312位于第二部分122远离第一部分121的一端、第一导柱312位于第二部分122靠近第一部分121的一端，以及第一导柱312位于第一部分121远离第二部分122的一端时第一阀门模块的状态的示意图，以下同时结合图1至图6，简要说明第一阀门模块300开、闭的过程：
为方便说明，以下将第二部分122远离第一部分121的一端称为“位置a”，将第二部分122靠近第一部分121的一端及将第一部分121靠近第二部分122的一端称为“位置b”，将第一部分121远离第二部分122的一端称为“位置c”。
初始状态时，第一曲槽120与第一轴孔230之间具有一定相位差，第一挡板310上的第一转轴311位于第一轴孔230中，第一导柱312位于第一曲槽中的位置a处，此时，各第一挡板310整体处于储料空间110的外周，第一阀门模块300处于打开状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图7。
转动件100顺时针(以图2的视角为参考)转动一设定角度之后，第一曲槽120随转动件100一并转动发生位移；第一导柱312一方面以第一转轴311的轴线为中心转动，另一方面于第一曲槽120内相对滑动至位置b处。在该过程中，由于第二部分122的侧壁逐渐带动第一挡板310以第一转轴为轴心顺时针转动，第一导柱312与转动件100的轴线距离减小，所以各第一挡板310向储料空间110的中心靠拢。并且，第一导柱312位于位置b时，每个第一挡板310均至少部分遮蔽上述储料空间110的顶部轮廓，以关闭进料孔210，第一阀门模块300处于关闭状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图8。优选的，第一导柱312位于位置b时，相邻的第一挡板310之间相互抵持。
转动件100继续顺时针(以图2的视角为参考)转动至第一导柱312与第一曲槽120内相对滑动至位置c处，由于第一部分121是以转动件100的轴线为中心的圆弧形槽结构，所 以在第一导柱312随转动件100自位置b相对转动至位置c的过程中，第一部分121不会与第一导柱312抵持，则第一挡板310不会在第一曲槽120侧壁的推动下以第一转轴311为轴心相对转动。即，整个从位置b到位置c的过程中，第一阀门模块300始终处于关闭状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图9。
综上所述，在转动件100转动时，第一轴孔230、第一曲槽120、第一转轴311以及第一导柱312共同配合，以控制第一阀门模块300打开或者关闭所述储料空间及进料孔。
应当理解，即使上述实施例中第一轴孔230是设置在第一端盖200，但在本发明的其他实施例中，第一轴孔还可以是设置在转动件靠近第一端盖的一端，相应的，第一曲槽设置在第一端盖靠近转动件的一端。
以下继续说明第二端盖400与第二阀门模块500。
请参照图10，其示出了第二端盖400的一个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1至图9，第二端盖400整体呈扁平状的圆柱形，其中部设有贯通的出料孔410。第二端盖400盖设于转动件100的底端，优选的，第二端盖400与转动件100同轴设置。出料孔410与上述的储料空间110连通，优选的，出料孔410与储料空间110同轴设置。
第二端盖400面向转动件的一端设有三个与储料空间110平行延伸的第二轴孔430，该三个第二轴孔430绕转动件100的轴线角度间隔均匀分布。优选的，该第二轴孔430贯穿第二端盖400。
第二端盖400的边缘还设有若干个向第一端盖200延伸的第二固定片420，第二固定片420整体呈Z形，其一端固定于第二端盖400的边缘，另一端延伸向第一端盖200，并与上文中的第一固定片220通过螺纹锁紧件固定。当然，两固定片之间还可以以其他的可拆卸的连接方式固定。
参照图11，其示出了第二挡板的一个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1至图11，第二阀门模块500整体设于第二端盖400与转动件100之间，包括三个第二挡板510，该三个第二挡板510同样绕转动件100转动的轴线角度间隔均匀分布，且该三个第二挡板510与上文中的第二轴孔430、第二曲槽130一一对应。
第二挡板510整体呈一扁平的镰刀形板状结构，其靠近第二端盖400的一端设有与所述第二轴孔430相适配的第二转轴511，第二转轴511插入第二轴孔430并可绕第二轴孔430的轴线转动，故第二挡板510能够凭借第二转轴511与第二轴孔430的配合实现其与第二端盖400的相对转动。
第二挡板510靠近转动件100的一端设有与所述第二曲槽130相适配的第二导柱512，第二导柱512插入第二曲槽130并可沿第二曲槽130相对滑动。
各第二轴孔430和各第二曲槽130组成了用于在所述转动件100转动时，控制所述第二阀门模块500关闭或打开出料孔410的第二导向模块。请参照图12至图14，其分别示出了第二导柱512位于第三部分131远离第四部分132的一端、第二导柱512位于第三部分131 靠近第四部分132的一端，以及第二导柱512位于第四部分132远离第三部分131的一端时第一阀门模块的状态的示意图，以下同时结合图1至图11，简要说明第二阀门模块500开、闭的过程：
为方便说明，以下将第四部分132远离第三部分131的一端称为“位置a＇”，将第四部分132靠近第三部分131的一端及将第三部分131靠近第四部分132的一端称为“位置b＇”，将第三部分131远离第四部分132的一端称为“位置c＇”。
初始状态(即上文中第一导柱312位于位置a处，第一阀门模块300打开)时，第二曲槽130与第二轴孔430之间具有一定相位差，第二挡板510上的第二转轴511位于第二轴孔430中，第二导柱512位于第二曲槽中的位置c＇处，此时，第二挡板510至少部分伸入储料空间110的底部轮廓内，第二阀门模块500处于关闭状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图12。优选的，相邻的第二挡板510之间互相抵持。
转动件100顺时针(以图2视角为参考，若以图12-14参考则是逆时针)转动一设定角度之后，第一导柱位于位置b处，第一阀门模块300关闭，与此同时，第二导柱512于第二曲槽130的第三部分131内滑动至位置b＇处。
由于第三部分131是以转动件100的轴线为中心的圆弧形槽结构，所以在第二导柱512随转动件100自位置c＇转动至位置b＇的过程中，第三部分131不会与第二导柱512抵持作用，则第二挡板510不会以第二转轴511位轴心发生转动。整个从位置c＇转动至位置b＇的过程中，第二阀门模块500始终处于关闭状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图13。
转动件100继续顺时针转动(以图2视角为参考，若以图12-14参考则是逆时针)至第一导柱312滑动至位置c处，与此同时，第二导柱512在第四部分中运动至位置a＇。在该过程中，第二挡板510在第四部分132的侧壁的抵持作用下，以第二转轴511的轴线为中心背离储料空间110的中心转动，第二导柱512与转动件100的轴线之间的距离逐渐变大，直至第二挡板510整体脱离储料空间110的底部轮廓之内，以打开出料孔410，第二阀门模块500处于打开状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图14。
综上所述，在转动件100转动时，第二轴孔430、第二曲槽130、第二转轴511以及第二导柱512共同配合，以控制第二阀门模块500打开或者关闭所述出料孔410。
值得注意的是，为实现上述过程，应确保第一导柱312于第一曲槽120的第二部分122的两端之间(即位置a与位置b之间)相对滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角，与第二导柱512于第二曲槽130的第三部分131的两端(即位置c＇与位置b＇之间)之间相对滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角相等；
以及第一导柱312于第一曲槽120的第一部分121的两端之间(即位置b与位置c之间)相对滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角，与第二导柱512于第二曲槽130的第四部分132(即位置b＇与位置a＇之间)的两端之间相对滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角相等。
进一步的，本实施例中，第一导柱312于所述第一曲槽120的第二部分122的两端之间相对滑动所对应的所述转动件100旋转的相位角，与第一导柱312于所述第一曲槽120的第 一部分121的两端之间相对滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角相等。进一步优选的，第一曲槽120与第二曲槽130的形状完全相同，两者的主要区别在于其延伸方向，该种设计方式便于转动件100上曲槽的成型的便利性，同时两导柱在相应的曲槽内相对滑动的一致性好。更进一步优选的，该相位角为30度。
应当理解，即使上述实施例中第二轴孔430是设置在第二端盖400上，但在本发明的其他实施例中，第二轴孔430还可以是设置在转动件100靠近第二端盖400的一端的端面，相应的，第二曲槽130设置在转动件100靠近第二端盖400的一端。
驱动模块600用于驱动所述转动件100绕其轴线转动。具体的，驱动模块600包括电机610与驱动轮620，驱动轮620与转动件100之间通过齿轮啮合。电机带动驱动轮620转动时，则转动件100在驱动轮620的带动下同步转动。可以理解的是，驱动模块600并不局限于上述实施例的电机驱动与齿轮传动的组合，还可以是其他形式，如通过皮带、齿条、蜗杆等结构均可实现带动转动件100与第一端盖200与第二端盖400之间转动，在此则不一一限定。
以下结合附图对该落料机构控制落料的工作过程作简要说明：
进行落料过程之前，该落料结构处于存储胶囊的状态，此时，第一阀门模块300处于打开状态，第二阀门模块500处于关闭状态。对应的，第一导柱312处于位置a处，第二导柱512处于位置c＇处。
需要进行落料过程时，驱动模块600带动转动件100顺时针转动，当转动件100转动至第一导柱312处于位置b处时，第二导柱512处于位置b＇处，则第一阀门模块300处于关闭状态，以拦截储料空间110上方的胶囊，同时第二阀门模块500也处于关闭状态。
驱动模块600继续带动转动件100转动，当第一导柱312处于位置c处时，第二导柱512处于位置a＇处，则第一阀门模块300仍处于关闭状态，可拦截储料空间110上方的胶囊，同时第二阀门模块500处于打开状态，以释放储料空间110内部的胶囊。
随后，驱动模块600带动转动件反向转动，当第一导柱312处于位置b处，第二导柱512处于位置b＇处，则第一阀门模块300、第二阀门模块500均处于关闭状态。
驱动模块600带动转动件继续转动至初始位置，此时第一导柱312处于位置a处，第二导柱512处于位置c＇处，则第一阀门模块300处于打开状态，同时第二阀门模块500处于关闭状态，以维持于上述的存储胶囊的状态。至此，一个落料过程结束，整个落料过程中，第一阀门模块300与第二阀门模块500之中至少有一个处于关闭状态，以避免胶囊漏料。
该落料机构通过第一导向模块将转动件100与第一阀门模块300实现联动，通过第二导向模块将转动件100与第二阀门模块500实现联动，在转动件100旋转的同时，第一阀门模块300与第二阀门模块500在其带动下以相反运动的运动规律使两阀门模块中的一个在打开状态时，另一个必定处于关闭状态。巧妙地实现了同时完成胶囊的掉落与拦截过程。
目前市场上的落料结构大多是采用分步控制两阀门模块的方案，其需要先关闭第一阀门模块，其次打开第二阀门模块进行落料过程，然后将第二阀门模块关闭，再打开第一阀门模 块使落料机构复位至存储状态，这种落料结构需要多个动力源，并且整个落料的流程长；而本发明提供的落料机构只需一个动力装置，以及一个正反转动的过程即可完成一个完整的落料过程，该落料机构的落料周期更短，用户不再需要花费长时间用于等待。同时，本落料机构整体零件数量少，制造和装配成本更低。
应当理解，本实施例中所述的阀门模块的打开与关闭状态并非一定是完全覆盖或者完全退出所述储料空间的端部轮廓(或进料孔、出料孔)，也可以是部分覆盖或者部分退出所述储料空间的端部轮廓(或进料孔、出料孔)，具体以能够实现拦截或者释放胶囊为准。
应当理解，本发明对上述第一阀门模块与第二阀门模块包括的挡板数量并不作具体限定，例如，当第一挡板的面积足够大时，则一个挡板即能满足使用要求，但由于挡板的面积过大时转动件的转动并不平衡，所以挡板数量优选两个以上，且该两个以上的挡板对称设置，以保证转动件的动静平衡。
应当理解，即使上述的第一曲槽与第二曲槽均包括两部分，但在某些情况下，仅保证第一曲槽的两端部与储料空间的轴线之间的距离不相等，第二曲槽的两端部与储料空间的轴线之间的距离不相等，也能实现上述过程(即两个阀门模块中一个处于打开状态，另一个处于关闭状态；或者两个均处于关闭状态)。
应当理解，本落料结构不仅可以用于存储与掉落胶囊，也可以用于存储胶囊之外的其他物料。
请参照图15至图16，本发明还提供了一种储料装置，该储料装置包括用于堆放胶囊的料筒700和上述的落料机构，请同时结合图1至图14，落料机构固定于料筒700的一端，并且料筒的一端的端口与落料机构的进料孔连通。优选的，料筒700与进料孔同轴设置。
该储料装置包括上述的落料机构，其落料周期相比市场上的储料装置更短，用户不再需要花费长时间用于等待。同时，本储料装置整体零件数量少，制造和装配成本更低。
本发明还提供一种自助售卖机，该自助售卖机包括上述的储料装置。
该自助售卖机包括上述的落料机构，其落料周期相比市场上的自主售卖机更短，用户不再需要花费长时间用于等待。同时，本自助售卖机整体零件数量少，制造和装配成本更低。
最后应说明的是：以上实施例仅用以说明本发明的技术方案，而非对其限制；在本发明的思路下，以上实施例或者不同实施例中的技术特征之间也可以进行组合，步骤可以以任意顺序实现，并存在如上所述的本发明的不同方面的许多其它变化，为了简明，它们没有在细节中提供；尽管参照前述实施例对本发明进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本发明各实施例技术方案的范围。
