Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of capsule discharging, and in particular to a capsule discharging device. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of capsules, for their inspection, packaging, or other processes, most of the capsules are first arranged one by one in a feeding channel, and then fed from the bottom of the feeding channel and the direction of the capsules is changed to flow to the next process.

[0003] The capsule feeding and redirection technology currently on the market can be divided into two solutions:

[0004] One of them is: when the first capsule at the bottom of the unloading chute is poured out, a baffle is used to stop the second capsule at the bottom of the unloading chute to prevent it from falling. In this solution, when the baffle stops the second capsule, it will exert a force on the upper side of the capsule, and the upper capsule will also exert downward pressure on the second capsule. In addition, when the second capsule is intercepted by the baffle, it will rise a distance. Inevitably, there is friction in this process. These forces can easily cause the capsule to be destroyed in the chute, causing secondary damage to the capsule.

[0005] Another method is to design a mechanical structure, such as a push pin, to retain the second to last capsule in the slide. However, since the capsule is relatively brittle and the capsule wall is relatively thin, the capsule is easily punctured by the retaining device. In addition, if there is a half capsule, since the mechanical structure works relatively slowly and the half capsule is relatively soft, the retaining device presses against the capsule wall and the capsule is easily deformed. Therefore, the retaining device with a mechanical structure often finds it difficult to retain the half capsule. The half capsule is different from the finished capsule in length, and often the half capsule will fall at the same time as the last capsule. At this time, the two capsules change direction and are pushed out at the same time, squeezing each other and easily causing damage. Summary of the invention

[0053] The invention provides a capsule feeding device.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the capsule feeding device includes: a shell, on which a plurality of feeding channels 300 are provided, and both ends of the feeding channels 300 have a feed port and a discharge port 310. After the capsules 600 enter the feeding channels 300 from the feed port, they are arranged and fall one by one, and finally fall out from the discharge port 310.

[0055] The width of the material discharge channel 300 should be greater than the diameter of the capsule to ensure that the capsule can fall smoothly. The side wall of the material discharge channel 300 can be fully closed or semi-closed. Figure 1 The state shown is semi-closed, but the outer wall around both ends of the feed port and the discharge port 310 of the feed channel 300 is in a closed state, while the middle part of the feed channel 300 is in an open state. It should be noted that the width of the opening of the open feed channel 300 needs to be smaller than the diameter of the capsule to prevent the capsule from leaking out.

[0056] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 The shell body is composed of a first panel 100 and a second panel 200, which are covered with each other to form a plurality of discharge channels 300 between the two panels. The plurality of discharge channels 300 are horizontally arranged along the length direction of the first panel 100 and the second panel 200. The middle part of the discharge channel 300 is open, and the two ends are closed. The discharge port 310 faces downward and the feed port faces upward. After the capsule is loaded from the upper feed port, it falls freely to the discharge port 310.

[0057] An adsorption hole 320 is further provided on the outer side of the feeding channel 300. The adsorption hole 320 is arranged at a position of the feeding channel 300 at least one capsule length away from the discharge port. In the present embodiment, the feeding channel 300 is vertically arranged, and the adsorption hole 320 is located at a position upward from the discharge port 310, and the specific upward position is at least greater than the length of one capsule. A suction nozzle 330 is provided on the outer side of the adsorption hole 320. When the suction nozzle 330 draws air outward, the capsule located at the position of the adsorption hole 320 in the feeding channel 300 will be adsorbed on the inner wall of the feeding channel 300 under the action of suction, thereby stopping the falling. The adsorption hole 320 is located at a position at least one capsule length away from the discharge port 310, so there is at least one capsule at the bottom that will not be adsorbed and can fall from the discharge port 310 to the capsule pouring area 800. In a preferred embodiment, the adsorption hole 320 is set at a position 1-1.5 times the capsule length away from the discharge port 310. In this position range, the capsule above the first capsule can be adsorbed by the adsorption hole 320 regardless of whether it is a complete capsule or a half capsule, thereby preventing the situation where the half capsule cannot be adsorbed due to its shorter length.

[0058] like Figure 3 The material distribution module 500 includes a first baffle 510 and a second baffle 520 corresponding to each other. The first baffle 510 and the second baffle 520 are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the material discharge channel 300 near the discharge port 310. Each material discharge channel 300 is provided with a set of first baffles 510 and second baffles 520. The first baffle 510 and the second baffle 520 are both movably connected to the shell so that the first baffle 510 releases or resists the capsule to be poured below the discharge port 310, and the second baffle 520 moves to the bottom of the discharge port 310 to push down the capsule to be poured or moves away from the bottom of the discharge port 310 to allow the next capsule to fall. Specifically, the initial state is as follows Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the second baffle 520 is located below the discharge port 310 to close the discharge port 310. The capsules are arranged one by one in the discharge channel 300 from the previous station and are received by the second baffle 520 below the discharge port 310. The first baffle 510 is located on the side of the capsule to be dumped. After the discharge starts, the suction nozzle 330 draws air outward to adsorb the second capsule located upward from the discharge port 310 onto the adsorption hole 320, so that the capsule upward from the second capsule is stopped in the original position. The first baffle 510 and the second baffle 520 begin to rotate counterclockwise to the right synchronously. The first capsule at the discharge port 310 falls downward under the reception of the second baffle 520 and finally falls into the capsule dumping area 800 located below the discharge port 310. The first baffle 510 and the second baffle 520 move to the position shown in FIG. Figure 4 , Figure 6 The first baffle 510 blocks the capsule on the side where the capsule is about to be dumped, preventing it from dumping arbitrarily during the falling process or after falling; then the first baffle 510 and the second baffle 520 start to rotate forward clockwise, the first baffle 510 rotates forward to release the space in the direction in which the capsule to be dumped needs to be dumped, the second baffle 520 penetrates from under the discharge port 310, pushes the capsule to be dumped under the discharge port 310 forward, and at the same time the suction nozzle 330 releases the suction force, the capsule adsorbed by the adsorption hole 320 starts to fall after losing the adsorption force, and is finally received by the second baffle 520 until it returns to the initial state, thereby completing the feeding and dumping of one capsule, and at the same time the second baffle 520 returns to the position of the initial state and receives the next capsule, and then repeats the above actions, so as to ensure that the capsules fall one by one and dump in a fixed direction.

[0059] In the above process, first, the suction nozzle 330 can adsorb the second capsule from the discharge port 310 upward onto the inner wall of the feeding channel 300 through the adsorption hole 320, thereby stopping the second and above capsules, and then the first capsule falls under the support of the second baffle 520, and after falling out of the discharge port 310, it performs a pouring action, so that the capsule to be poured will not be subjected to the pressure of the upper capsule during the pouring process, so that no friction will be generated between the capsule and other capsules during pouring, thereby avoiding damage caused by mutual friction; in addition, this method of stopping the upper capsule does not require direct contact with the capsule, avoiding the traditional method of using a mechanical structure such as a push pin to push the capsule from the side wall and causing extrusion damage to the upper or lower capsule, and the adsorption hole 320 only generates a vertical force on the capsule toward the inner wall of the feeding channel 300, and does not generate an upward or downward force on the capsule, thereby avoiding mutual friction between capsules and mutual friction between capsules and the inner wall of the feeding channel 300.

[0060] In another embodiment, the first baffle 510 is used to resist the blocking surface 511 of the capsule to be poured out and is set to be a plane, and when the first baffle 510 moves to the position of resisting the capsule to be poured out (i.e. Figure 6 The resisting surface 511 is a plane to avoid damage caused by contact with the capsule to be poured. On the other hand, the resisting surface 511 and the inner side wall of the feeding channel 300 in the pouring direction of the capsule to be poured are in the same plane, so that the first capsule can slide downward along the resisting surface 511 when falling, and the fall is more stable.

[0061] In another embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the second baffle 520 is also provided with a knocking part, which includes a knocking end 521 and a receiving surface 522. When the second baffle 520 moves to the bottom of the discharge port 310, the knocking end 521 is used to knock down the capsule to be poured below the discharge port 310. At the same time, the receiving surface 522 moves to the bottom of the discharge port 310 to receive the next capsule after the suction nozzle 330 releases the adsorption force. In one embodiment, the knocking end 521 is a circular arc surface, i.e., a second arc surface. The knocking end 521 directly contacts the capsule during the process of knocking down the capsule. The outer side surface of the knocking end 521 in contact with the capsule is set to a circular arc surface to prevent the capsule from being stabbed during the contact process with the capsule.

[0062] The receiving surface 522 is configured as a circular arc surface, that is, a first arc surface. When the second baffle plate 520 receives the capsule from below the discharge port 310 and moves away from below the discharge port 310, Figure 5In this state, the lowest point of the first curved surface is located directly below the discharge port 310 (at this time, the capsule is just located at the lowest point of the first curved surface), or located directly below the discharge port 310 and away from the first baffle 510 (at this time, the capsule is located at the non-lowest point of the first curved surface), so that when the second baffle 520 moves from the outside to enter the discharge port 310 below to receive the next capsule, the capsule first contacts the non-lowest point of the first curved surface after falling, and then when the second baffle 520 continues to move toward the first baffle 510, the capsule can continue to fall downward along the first curved surface, thereby preventing the second baffle 520 from squeezing the capsule upward when moving to receive the capsule, causing the capsule to be squeezed and damaged. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, point P is located directly below the discharge port 310. In this embodiment, the lowest point of the first curved surface is located at point P. When the second baffle 520 moves from the outside to below the discharge port 310, the capsule first contacts the upper curved surface of the first curved surface located on the left side of point P, and then as the second baffle continues to move, the capsule falls along the first curved surface to point P. Of course, the lowest point of the first curved surface can also be located near the right side of point P. In this case, the capsule will not stay at the lowest point of the first curved surface, but can still fall along the first curved surface.

[0063] Further, in another embodiment, Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the device is also provided with a vacuum chamber 400, which includes a vacuum cover plate 410 and a groove 210 arranged on the second baffle plate 520, so as to ensure that the adsorption hole 320 of each material discharge channel 300 is located in the groove 210, and the suction nozzle 330 is arranged on the adsorption hole 320, and then the vacuum cover plate 410 is sealed and covered on the groove 210, so as to form a vacuum chamber 400, and the outer wall on the vacuum cover plate 410 is provided with a vacuum source interface 420, and the vacuum source interface 420 is connected to a vacuum pump, a cylinder and other vacuum equipment, so that the vacuum source interface 420 is connected to the suction nozzle 330 on the adsorption hole 320 of all material discharge channels 300 through the vacuum chamber 400, so as to achieve the purpose of synchronous control, and this structure is simple, easy to install and easy to operate. In another embodiment, a sealing gasket can also be provided at the contact position of the vacuum cover plate 410 and the groove 210 to ensure good sealing.

[0064] Further, in another embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the material distribution module 500 is further provided with a first rotary plate 700 and a second rotary plate 710, the first rotary plate 700 and the second rotary plate 710 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first panel 100 and the second panel 200 in the horizontal direction, each material discharge channel 300 is arranged between the first rotary plate 700 and the second rotary plate 710, and the first baffle plate 510 and the second baffle plate 520 located at the discharge port 310 of each material discharge channel 300 are also arranged between the first rotary plate 700 and the second rotary plate 710, and then all the first baffle plates 510 and 520 are arranged between the first rotary plate 700 and the second rotary plate 710. 0 and all the second baffles 520 are fixedly connected to the first rotary plate 700 and the second rotary plate 710, and then the first rotary plate 700 and the second rotary plate 710 are rotationally connected to the second panel 200 or the first panel 100. At this time, as long as the first rotary plate 700 or the second rotary plate 710 is rotated, all the first baffles 510 and the second baffles 520 fixedly connected thereto can rotate synchronously with it, thereby ensuring that the actions of all the discharge ports 310 are kept synchronous. This structure is simple, easy to control, and convenient to install.

[0065] In another embodiment, the capsule feeding device further comprises a rotating mechanism, such as Figure 7 As shown, the rotating mechanism includes: a guide rail slot 920, a limit shaft and a cylinder 910. Specifically, the guide rail slot 920 is arranged on the outer side of the first rotating plate 700 and is arranged horizontally, which can be understood as the sliding slot of the guide rail slot 920 is arranged horizontally; the limit shaft (not shown in the figure) is located between the guide rail slot 920 and the first rotating plate 700, one end of the limit shaft is connected to the first rotating plate 700, and the other end is arranged in the guide rail slot 920; the cylinder 910 is arranged below the guide rail slot 920, and the cylinder push rod 911 of the cylinder 910 is connected to the guide rail slot 920. The guide rail slot 920 is connected so as to drive the guide rail slot 920 to move up and down. When the guide rail slot 920 moves up and down, one end of the limiting shaft located in the guide rail slot slides along the guide rail slot 920 in the horizontal direction, and drives the first rotating plate 700 to rotate up and down in the vertical direction, so that the first rotating plate 700 can be driven to rotate through the cylinder 910, the guide rail slot 920 and the limiting shaft. It should be noted that the limiting shaft, the guide rail slot and the cylinder can also be arranged on one side of the second rotating plate, and the specific structure is consistent with that arranged on the one side of the first rotating plate. The technical solution does not limit which side it is arranged on.

[0066] Further, if Figure 7The capsule feeding device also includes: a base plate 900 connected to the shell, a linear sliding bearing 930 is provided on the base plate 900, the linear sliding bearing 930 is installed in the up and down direction, a guide rod 940 is provided in the linear sliding bearing 930, one end of the guide rod 940 is arranged in the linear sliding bearing 930, and the other end is connected to the guide rail slot 920, so that when the cylinder 910 drives the guide rail slot 920 to move up and down, it can move up and down along the linear sliding bearing 930, thereby playing a guiding role, making the up and down movement of the guide rail slot 920 more stable and accurate.
