Tablet detecting system for molding tablet supplying apparatus

A tablet detecting system for ascertaining whether a plurality of tablets are contained in respective receiving holes of a loader unit or, if contained, whether each tablet has a standard size, said system comprising:

• a plurality of push rods inserted into the respective receiving holes, wherein each push rod moves upward just as high as the tablet;
• an insulation plate located over the push rods;
• a plurality of conductive pads made of electrically conductive material and formed at regular intervals on a bottom surface of the insulation plate so that each conductive pad is electrically disconnected to each other;
• a plurality of contact heads made of electrically conductive material, each contact head formed on a top of the push rod and having a size enough to simultaneously touch a corresponding pair of the conductive pads;
• and
• a control unit electrically connected to both outermost conductive pads among the plurality of conductive pads,
• wherein when the tablet in the receiving hole has a standard size, the contact head mechanically touches the pair of conductive pads and gives electrical connection to the pair of conductive pads, and the control unit senses the electrical connection.

• a plurality of conductive assemblies made of electrically conductive material and formed at regular intervals in the insulation plate, each conductive assembly including a pair of cylindrical bodies each formed in the insulation plate and spaced apart from each other so that each cylindrical body is electrically disconnected to each other, a pair of plungers each inserted into the cylindrical body, and a pair of springs each interposed between the cylindrical body and the plunger so that the plunger protrudes downward from the insulation plate;
• a plurality of contact heads made of electrically conductive material, each contact head formed on a top of the push rod and having a size enough to simultaneously touch the pair of plungers;
