[0007] Preferably, the identification component includes a rotating shaft, a plurality of rotating shafts being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame, a conveyor belt being fitted onto the outer wall of the plurality of rotating shafts, a plurality of placement slots being formed on the outer wall of the conveyor belt, lifting plates being fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the support frame, a plurality of electric telescopic rods being rotatably connected to one side of the lifting plate, an opening and closing plate being rotatably connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rods, a weight sensor being provided in the middle of the opening and closing plate, a central block being fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame, a collection bin being slidably connected to the top of the central block, and a gear being rotatably connected to one side of the support frame.

[0008] Preferably, the cover assembly includes a fixing frame three, which is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame. Multiple electric telescopic rods three are fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame three. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod three. Multiple rubber blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. A guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frame three.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a fixed frame four, which is fixedly connected to the top side of the support frame. A receiving chamber is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame four, and a guide block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the receiving chamber.

[0010] Preferably, the filling chamber is slidably connected to one side of the diversion chamber, the output end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a piston, a needle-shaped component is provided at the bottom of the filling chamber, the filling chamber is slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement groove, the input pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing chamber, and the U-shaped block is slidably connected to the top of the mounting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt.

[0012] Preferably, the collection bin is slidably connected to one side of the support frame, the gear is fixedly connected to one side of one of the rotating shafts, and the spacer gears are meshed with each other.

[0013] Preferably, the rubber block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove and to the top of the conveyor belt.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the guide block is provided with a needle-shaped component, and the guide block is slidably connected to the top of the conveyor belt.

[0015] Working principle: When using this device to automatically fill biological capsules, the upper half capsule, semi-liquid drug and lower half capsule are first supplied to the receiving chamber, leak-proof chamber and limiting groove respectively through the feeding device. Then, the PLC is connected to multiple weight sensors to set the weight of the capsule after filling.

[0016] After preparation, the motor outputs power to drive the second pulley and the spacer gear to move synchronously. After the movement is generated, the pulley and the spacer gear mesh with each other to achieve a step-by-step transmission effect. At a suitable gap, when the placement trough passes the bottom of the guide block, it will fall into the upper capsule due to gravity. The bottom of the upper capsule is then lifted by the lifting plate. As the conveyor belt moves step by step, it will enter the bottom of the filling chamber.

[0017] By setting an appropriate cylinder opening time, the piston can pressurize the drainage chamber while the filling chamber moves downward. When through hole one and through hole two are aligned, the semi-liquid drug inside the drainage chamber will be injected into the filling chamber. Then, by starting the electric telescopic rod one, the drug entering the filling chamber will fill the bottom upper half of the capsule. After one filling is completed, as the filling chamber is raised, through hole one and through hole two are staggered, and the drainage chamber is in a sealed state. Then, by moving the piston upward, the drug can be drawn from the inside of the stirring chamber into the drainage chamber through the input pipe, and then an automatic filling cycle will be performed.

[0018] During the circulation process, the belt connection between pulley one and pulley two enables periodic stirring within the mixing chamber, thereby preventing drug coagulation and component precipitation.

[0019] As the conveyor belt moves, the upper capsules that have been filled in the placement trough are weighed in real time on the opening and closing plate. According to the PLC settings, when the weight of the upper capsule exceeds or falls below a certain value, the electric telescopic rod will be automatically opened. This will guide the unqualified filled capsules into the collection bin through the opening and closing plate, making it convenient for staff to remove them for reuse.

[0020] As the conveyor belt moves, after reaching the capping assembly, the periodic opening of the electric telescopic rod allows multiple rubber blocks to push the lower capsule in the limiting groove into the placement groove to cap it with the upper capsule. Finally, the capsule slides out through the tail guide plate, completing the automatic filling process.

[0021] This invention provides an automated filling device for pharmaceutical biological capsules. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. This invention, through the coordinated use of components such as a fixing frame, a filling chamber, a drainage chamber, and a piston, enables accurate filling of biological capsules after fixation. It also enables automatic preparation after one filling, requiring no manual intervention, achieving full automation and improving processing efficiency.

[0023] 2. This invention, through the coordinated use of components such as spacer gears, pulley one, and pulley two, enables step-by-step feeding and filling during the process, achieving the effect of belt drive. It can periodically stir the medicine, thereby ensuring its mixing ratio and improving the filling quality.

[0024] 3. This invention, through the combined use of components such as the electric telescopic rod, the opening and closing plate, and the weight sensor, can improve the quality of capsule filling and output, effectively reduce cost input, and achieve reuse. Attached Figure Description
