Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial automation, and in particular to a capsule medicine production device and a process thereof based on intelligent temperature control and a constant humidity environment. Background Art

[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, capsules are a common dosage form due to their ease of administration and ability to mask unpleasant odors. However, traditional capsule production equipment has numerous limitations in practical applications, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for high-quality pharmaceutical production.

[0003] When it comes to production environment control, most traditional equipment lacks effective temperature and humidity control. During the mixing and filling process, drug powders are easily affected by ambient temperature and humidity, leading to problems such as moisture absorption and agglomeration, and decomposition of active ingredients, seriously impacting drug quality and stability. For example, some temperature-sensitive drug ingredients may undergo chemical structural changes in high temperatures, reducing their efficacy. High humidity increases the viscosity of drug powders, affecting filling accuracy and capsule sealing.

[0004] In terms of production precision, traditional equipment suffers from significant errors in the powder mixing and metering process. Powder mixing often relies on simple mechanical mixing mechanisms, which can be uneven, leading to inconsistent distribution of powder components and affecting the uniformity of drug content in each capsule. The metering process often uses extensive volumetric measurement or manual assistance, making it difficult to achieve precise quantitative filling. This can result in some capsules containing excessive or insufficient powder, failing to meet pharmaceutical quality standards.

[0005] As the pharmaceutical industry's requirements for drug quality, production efficiency and automation level continue to increase, the development of capsule drug production equipment and its process based on intelligent temperature control and constant humidity environment has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of capsule drug production, promote the automated production process in the pharmaceutical industry, and meet the strict requirements of the modern pharmaceutical industry.

[0017] S1. Equipment startup and preparation stage

[0018] The operating table serves as the basic supporting platform of the equipment. The control unit fixed on the top side is started, and the temperature display instrument and temperature sensor on the top of the control unit enter the working state, establish a connection with the intelligent temperature control ring, and monitor and adjust the production environment temperature in real time. At the same time, multiple groups of control switches on the outside of the operating table are turned on to complete the preset of the overall operating parameters of the equipment and prepare for the production process.

[0019] S2. Capsule shell loading process

[0020] The storage box on the top of the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism stores empty capsule shells, and the bottom hole is connected to the adsorption pipe on the back. The adsorption component at the bottom of the adsorption pipe is activated to generate negative pressure, which sucks the capsule shells in the storage box into the pipe one by one and transports them along the pipe to the designated position of the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism. The medicine capsule shell placement mechanism uses mechanical claws to grab or slot fixation to stably fix the capsule shell, ensuring that the opening of the capsule shell faces upward, providing standard workpieces to be processed for subsequent filling processes.

[0021] S3. Turntable positioning and capsule shell receiving process

[0022] The motor at the bottom center of the operating table drives the movable cylinder to realize the lifting and rotation of the intelligent turntable. The telescopic rods arranged in a circle on the top of the intelligent turntable adjust the height according to the needs of different workstations, driving the capsule placement table to move. When the intelligent turntable rotates to the appropriate position below the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism, the telescopic rod rises, and the capsule placement table docks with the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism to stably receive the fixed capsule shell. The upper and lower groups of structures of the capsule placement table come into play. The upper group fixes the upper half of the capsule shell, and the lower group fixes the lower half. The cylinder pushes the iron column to pre-tighten the capsule shell to prevent powder leakage during the subsequent filling process.

[0023] S4. Powder mixing process

[0024] The powder stirring mechanism is located on the outer side of the control unit. Once the motor on its outer wall is started, it drives the small turntable to rotate. The belt in the outer slide of the small turntable transmits power to the large turntable to realize double turntable transmission. The central hole of the large turntable cooperates with the internal long column to drive the stirring column to rotate. The movable rod on the outside of the stirring column unfolds under the action of centrifugal force as the stirring column rotates, expanding the stirring range so that the powder can be fully and evenly mixed. At the same time, the intelligent temperature control ring on the top of the stirring column is heated or cooled by electromagnetic wire under the real-time monitoring of the temperature sensor of the control unit to maintain the powder in the best physical and chemical state during the stirring process. The evenly stirred powder is transported downward to the metering component through the powder outlet pipe at the bottom of the powder stirring mechanism.

[0025] S5. Powder measurement process

[0026] The center of the top of the perforated turntable abuts against the bottom of the powder discharge pipe. The movable cylinder fixed on its external hoop controls the up and down movement of the perforated turntable according to the metering requirements, and adjusts the docking accuracy between the holes on the turntable and the stamping tube below. The powder falls from the powder discharge pipe and falls into the stamping tube through the holes on the perforated turntable. The rotating mechanism inside the metering disk drives the disk body to rotate. The card slot on the disk cooperates with the stamping tube. By controlling the rotation angle, the metering of the powder filling amount is achieved to ensure that the weight of the powder filled in each capsule meets the standard.

[0027] S6. Powder filling process

[0028] The intelligent turntable rotates to the filling station, the lower set of discs on the capsule placement table is aligned with the punching tube, and the metering disc rotates to press the measured quantitative powder into the lower half of the capsule shell through the punching tube. During this process, the ejection iron column and the movable plug at the bottom of the capsule placement table work together to control the opening and closing of the discharge port according to the filling rhythm, preventing the powder from spilling during the filling process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the filling process and the cleanliness of the production environment.

[0029] S7. Capsule packaging and discharging process

[0030] After the powder filling is completed, the intelligent turntable rotates to the packaging station. The upper structure of the capsule placement table fixes the upper half of the capsule shell, and the cylinder presses down again to make the upper half of the capsule shell tightly fit with the lower half. The iron column is pressed to apply pressure to ensure that the capsule is well sealed. Then, the ejection iron column is pushed upward to eject the encapsulated capsule from the capsule placement table and collect it through the discharge port, completing the entire capsule medicine production process. During the production process, the motor continuously drives the active cylinder to control the circulation of the intelligent turntable; the motor maintains the powder stirring and metering work through the belt drive; the threaded rod cooperates with the sliding block to flexibly adjust the height of the stirring column according to the stirring requirements of different batches of medicine powder; the electromagnetic wire generates a magnetic field when energized, and cooperates with the protective cover to achieve non-contact heating or cooling, ensuring that the entire production process is stable and efficient.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] In traditional capsule medicine production, the loading of medicine capsule shells mostly relies on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to problems such as capsule shell misalignment and inconsistent opening direction, affecting the subsequent filling process. This equipment uses a negative pressure loading system composed of a storage box, adsorption pipes and adsorption components to achieve automatic transportation and positioning of capsule shells, and cooperates with mechanical claws or slots to fix them to ensure that the opening is facing upward; the intelligent turntable is driven by a motor-driven movable cylinder, combined with a telescopic rod and the height adjustment of the capsule placement table, to connect to each workstation, and the entire process is automated, which greatly reduces manual intervention, effectively avoids human operational errors, and significantly improves production efficiency and product qualification rate.

[0033] Conventional capsule production equipment is greatly affected by the ambient temperature and humidity during the powder mixing and metering process, making it difficult to ensure the uniformity of the powder quality. The powder mixing mechanism of this equipment, under the coordinated action of the intelligent temperature control ring, temperature sensor and electromagnetic wire, adjusts the mixing temperature in real time to maintain the optimal physical and chemical state of the powder. The movable rod centrifugal mixing further improves the mixing uniformity; the perforated turntable and the metering disk are controlled by the movable cylinder to control the docking accuracy, and the rotation angle is used to achieve quantitative filling of the powder. Even under complex environmental conditions, it can ensure the stability of the powder quality and filling accuracy, breaking through the dependence of traditional equipment on the production environment and expanding the scope of application of the equipment.

[0034] Traditional equipment has a fixed structure. When producing capsule medicines of different specifications, it takes a lot of time and cost to replace parts, and the production process is frequently interrupted. This equipment flexibly adjusts the height of the stirring column through threaded rods and sliding blocks to adapt to the stirring of different batches of medicine powder; the electromagnetic wire non-contact temperature control can quickly switch the medicine powder processing mode; the adjustable design of the intelligent turntable and capsule placement table can quickly complete the production switching of capsules of different specifications, realizing modular and flexible production of the equipment. In addition, the various links of the equipment are closely connected to achieve continuous and uninterrupted production, effectively reducing equipment idle costs and labor costs, and significantly improving the company's production efficiency.

The negative pressure generated by the adsorption pipe 23 adsorbs the capsule shells one by one into the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2, and the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2 fixes the capsule shells by a mechanical structure such as a slot or a vacuum suction cup to ensure that its opening faces upward for subsequent filling In preparation for the filling process, the motor 52 drives the small turntable 51, which drives the large turntable 53 through the belt 54. The large turntable 53 drives the long column 7 to rotate to realize the stirring function. When the movable rod 72 connected to the outside rotates with the stirring column, it is unfolded under the action of centrifugal force to expand the stirring range and ensure that the powder is mixed evenly. It is located at the top of the stirring column 71. The temperature of the powder is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 42 and fed back to the control unit 4. The control unit adjusts the current of the electromagnetic wire 78 according to the preset temperature threshold to realize the temperature control of the powder. The stirred powder falls into the hole of the turntable 6 with holes through the powder outlet pipe 56. The bottom of the turntable 6 with holes is The punching tube 61 cooperates with the metering disk 62, and the metering disk 62 controls the filling amount of each punching tube through the rotating mechanism. The movable cylinder 63 drives the perforated turntable 6 to move up and down to realize the docking of the punching tube 61 with the capsule shell, ensuring that the medicine powder is accurately filled into the capsule shell. The telescopic rod 31 and the capsule placement table 32 on the top of the intelligent turntable 3 rotate with the turntable, passing through the medicine capsule shell loading station, filling station and packaging station in turn. The cylinder 34 drives the pressing iron column 35 to tightly press the upper and lower parts of the capsule shell. After filling is completed, the movable plug 37 pushes the ejection iron column 38 to eject the finished capsule from the capsule placement table 32 and discharge it through the discharge port 36.

[0045] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the operating table 1, and the interior of the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2 is hollow; the top of the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to a storage box 21, the interior of the storage box 21 is hollow, and a hole is opened on one side of the bottom of the storage box 21; the back of the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to an adsorption pipe 23, and an adsorption component is provided at the bottom of the adsorption pipe 23; the top of the adsorption pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 21, and an intelligent turntable 3 is provided in the center of the top of the operating table 1, and the top of the intelligent turntable 3 There are multiple groups of telescopic rods 31 arranged in a circle; the top of the telescopic rod 31 is fixedly connected to a capsule placement platform 32, the exterior of the capsule placement platform 32 is a square body, and a plurality of circular grooves are opened inside; the exterior of the capsule placement platform 32 is arranged in two groups, the top of the capsule placement platform 32 is clamped with a pressing iron column 35, the exterior of the pressing iron column 35 is slidably connected to a cylinder 34, the bottom of the cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 33, and the exterior of the connecting block 33 is fixedly installed on the exterior of the operating table 1; the bottom of the capsule placement platform 32 is clamped with an ejection iron column 38, and the ejection iron column 38 The outer side is slidably connected to a movable plug 37, and a discharge port 36 is provided at the bottom of the movable plug 37. The interior of the storage box 21 is hollow, and a hole is opened on one side of the bottom, which is directly connected to the top of the adsorption pipe 23. The medicine capsule shells are stacked vertically in the storage box. The diameter of the bottom hole is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the capsule shell, ensuring that only 1-2 capsule shells are allowed to fall into the adsorption pipe at a time. After the adsorption component at the bottom of the adsorption pipe 23 is started, a negative pressure airflow is formed in the pipe. When the capsule shell at the bottom of the storage box falls into the inlet of the adsorption pipe, the negative pressure airflow adsorbs it upward and transports it along the pipe to the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2. The inner wall of the adsorption pipe 23 may be provided with a smooth coating or an inclined angle to prevent the capsule shell from getting stuck due to static electricity or friction; at the same time, the negative pressure can be adjusted by the control unit 4 to adapt to capsule shells of different materials. The interior of the capsule shell placement mechanism 2 is hollow, and the outlet of the adsorption pipe 23 is facing the center of the hollow cavity. After the capsule shell is transported to the cavity by negative pressure, it loses the airflow power and falls into the preset card slot by gravity.

The bottom of the movable plug 37 corresponds to the discharge port 36. When the ejection iron post 38 pushes the capsule to the discharge port position, the movable plug moves to open the channel, and the capsule slides along the discharge port to the collection device.

The diameter of the large turntable 53 is larger than that of the small turntable 51. When the stirring column 71 rotates with the long column 7, the movable rod 72 expands outward under the action of centrifugal force, and the intelligent temperature control ring 55 on the top of the stirring column 71 monitors the temperature of the powder in real time by electromagnetic induction or resistance heating.

When the stirring column 71 rotates with the long column 7, the movable rod 72 expands outward under the action of centrifugal force. The bottom of the stirring column 71 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 73 through a bearing. The other end of the mounting seat is hinged to the fixing ring 76 through a pin shaft. The fixing ring 76 is fixed to the inner wall of the long column 7 to form a "rotation-hinge" composite support, which allows the stirring column to rotate and limits its radial displacement to ensure a stable and shaking stirring process. The electromagnetic wire 78 is wrapped with a protective sleeve 79 to prevent short circuit or powder adhesion. The surface of the protective sleeve is designed with a heat dissipation groove to cooperate with the air flow circulation in the stirring mechanism to avoid local overheating. The bottom of the long column 7 is fixed with a threaded rod 75, and a sliding block 77 is sleeved on the outside. The inner wall of the sliding block is provided with a threaded hole matching the threaded rod.

The temperature sensor 42 transmits the stirring column temperature signal to the control unit 4.

[0049] The effects achieved by the entire organization are:

[0050] Capsule shell loading process

[0051] The storage box 21 stores empty capsule shells, and the bottom hole is connected to the adsorption pipe 23. The adsorption component generates negative pressure, and the capsule shells are sucked into the pipe one by one and transported to the designated position of the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2. The medicine capsule shell placement mechanism 2 is hollow inside and the capsule shell is fixed by a mechanical claw or a slot to ensure that its opening faces upward for subsequent filling.

[0052] Positioning mechanism of Smart Turntable 3

[0053] The movable cylinder 12 is driven by the motor 13 to control the lifting and rotation of the intelligent turntable 3. The telescopic rod 31 on the top of the turntable can adjust the height so that the capsule placement platform 32 can be docked with the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism and the powder filling station. The upper and lower groups of structures of the capsule placement platform 32 cooperate: the upper group is used to fix the upper half of the capsule shell, and the lower group fixes the lower half. The iron column 35 and the cylinder 34 are pressed tightly to prevent powder leakage during filling.

[0054] Operation of the powder mixing mechanism 5

[0055] Motor 1 52 drives the small turntable 51 to rotate, and drives the large turntable 53 to rotate through the belt 54, realizing double turntable transmission. The central hole of the large turntable cooperates with the long column 7 to drive the stirring column 71 to rotate.

[0056] The stirring structure of the long column 7: When the movable rod 72 outside the stirring column 71 rotates with the stirring column, it is expanded by centrifugal force to expand the stirring range and ensure uniform mixing of the powder. The intelligent temperature control ring 55 wraps the top of the stirring column. The temperature is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 42 of the control unit 4. The electromagnetic wire 78 is used to heat or cool the powder to maintain the optimal physical and chemical state of the powder during the stirring process. The stirred powder is transported to the metering component below through the powder outlet pipe 56.

[0057] Measuring of the perforated turntable 6 and the metering disk 62

[0058] The top of the perforated turntable 6 is connected to the powder outlet pipe 56. The holes are evenly distributed on the turntable. The powder falls into the punching tube 61 below through the holes. The movable cylinder 63 controls the up and down movement of the perforated turntable and adjusts the docking accuracy between the holes and the punching tube. The internal rotating mechanism of the metering disk 62 drives the disk body to rotate.

S1. Equipment startup and preparation stage The operating table (1) serves as the basic supporting platform of the equipment. The control unit (4) fixedly connected to one side of the top of the operating table (1) is started, and the temperature display instrument (41) and the temperature sensor (42) on the top of the control unit (4) enter the working state and establish a connection with the intelligent temperature control ring (55) to monitor and adjust the production environment temperature in real time. At the same time, multiple groups of control switches outside the operating table (1) are turned on to complete the presetting of the overall operating parameters of the equipment and prepare for the production process. S2. Capsule shell loading process The storage box (21) on the top of the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism (2) stores empty capsule shells, and the bottom hole of the storage box (21) is connected to the adsorption pipe (23) on the back. The adsorption component at the bottom of the adsorption pipe (23) is activated to generate negative pressure, and the capsule shells in the storage box (21) are sucked into the pipe one by one, and transported along the pipe to the designated position of the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism (2). The capsule shells are stably fixed inside the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism (2) by means of mechanical claws grabbing or slot fixing, ensuring that the opening of the capsule shell faces upward, providing standard workpieces for subsequent filling processes. S3. Turntable positioning and capsule shell receiving process The motor (13) at the bottom center of the operating table (1) drives the movable cylinder (12) to operate, thereby realizing the lifting and rotation of the intelligent turntable (3). The telescopic rods (31) arranged in a circle on the top of the intelligent turntable (3) adjust the height according to the requirements of different workstations, driving the capsule placement table (32) to move. When the intelligent turntable (3) rotates to a suitable position below the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism (2), the telescopic rods (31) rise, and the capsule placement table (32) docks with the medicine capsule shell placement mechanism (2) to stably receive the fixed capsule shell. The upper and lower structures of the capsule placement table (32) play a role. The upper group fixes the upper half of the capsule shell, and the lower group fixes the lower half. The cylinder (34) pushes the pressing iron column (35) to pre-tighten the capsule shell to prevent powder leakage during the subsequent filling process. S4. Powder mixing process The powder stirring mechanism (5) is located on the outer side of the control unit (4). The motor (52) on the outer wall of the powder stirring mechanism (5) is started to drive the small turntable (51) to rotate. The belt (54) in the outer slide of the small turntable (51) transmits power to the large turntable (53), realizing double turntable transmission. The central hole of the large turntable (53) cooperates with the internal long column (7) to drive the stirring column (71) to rotate. The movable rod (72) outside the stirring column (71) is unfolded under the action of centrifugal force as the stirring column (71) rotates, thereby expanding the stirring range and making the powder fully and evenly mixed. At the same time, the intelligent temperature control ring (55) on the top of the stirring column (71) is heated or cooled by the electromagnetic wire (78) under the real-time monitoring of the temperature sensor (42) of the control unit (4), so as to maintain the powder in the best physical and chemical state during the stirring process. The powder after being stirred evenly is transported downward to the metering component through the powder outlet pipe (56) at the bottom of the powder stirring mechanism (5). S5. Powder measurement process The center of the top of the perforated turntable (6) abuts against the bottom of the powder outlet pipe (56). The movable cylinder (63) fixed on the outer hoop controls the up and down movement of the perforated turntable (6) according to the metering requirements, and adjusts the docking accuracy between the holes on the turntable and the punching pipe (61) below. The powder falls from the powder outlet pipe (56) and falls into the punching pipe (61) through the holes on the perforated turntable (6). The rotating mechanism inside the metering disk (62) drives the disk body to rotate. The card slot on the disk cooperates with the punching pipe (61). By controlling the rotation angle, the metering of the powder filling amount is achieved, ensuring that the weight of the powder filled in each capsule meets the standard. S6. Powder filling process The intelligent turntable (3) rotates to the filling station, the lower set of discs of the capsule placement table (32) is aligned with the punching tube (61), and the metering disc (62) rotates to press the measured quantitative powder into the lower half of the capsule shell through the punching tube (61). During this process, the ejection iron column (38) and the movable plug (37) at the bottom of the capsule placement table (32) work together to control the opening and closing of the discharge port (36) according to the filling rhythm, thereby preventing the powder from spilling during the filling process and ensuring the accuracy of the filling process and the cleanliness of the production environment. S7. Capsule packaging and discharging process After the powder filling is completed, the intelligent turntable (3) rotates to the packaging station, the upper group structure of the capsule placement table (32) fixes the upper half of the capsule shell, and the cylinder (34) presses down again to make the upper half of the capsule shell tightly buckled with the lower half, and the pressing iron column (35) applies pressure to ensure that the capsule is well sealed. Subsequently, the ejection iron column (38) pushes upward to eject the encapsulated capsule from the capsule placement table (32) and collect it through the discharge port (36), completing the entire capsule medicine production process. During the production process, the motor (13) continuously drives the movable cylinder (12) to control the intelligent turntable (3) to circulate; the motor (52) maintains the powder stirring and metering work through the belt drive; the threaded rod (75) cooperates with the sliding block (77) to flexibly adjust the height of the stirring column (71) according to the stirring requirements of different batches of powder; the electromagnetic wire (78) generates a magnetic field after being energized, and cooperates with the protective cover (79) to achieve non-contact heating or cooling, ensuring that the entire production process is stable and efficient.
