[0025] like Figure 1-4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown:

[0026] It includes a sliding seat 201 and a fixed seat 105, the sliding seat 201 is slidably connected with a slider 203, the slider 203 is fixedly connected with a filling part 204, the filling part 204 is slidably connected with a material blocking plate 205, the fixed seat 105 is rotatably connected with a processing table 401, a plurality of placement holes 403 are opened on the processing table 401, an auxiliary conical surface 402 is provided on the outer side of each placement hole 403, a bottom plate 408 is slidably connected to the processing table 401, a first motor is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 201, a first lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor, the first lead screw is threadedly connected to the filling part 204, a second motor capable of driving the processing table 401 to rotate is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 105, a first electric push rod capable of pushing the bottom plate 408 to slide is fixedly connected to the processing table 401, and a plurality of triangular blocks 409 are fixedly connected inside the processing table 401.

[0027] The medicine powder to be filled is added into the filling part 204, and a circular hole groove is opened on the filling part 204. Under normal conditions, the blocking plate 205 can cover the circular hole groove. Then, a plurality of half capsules to be filled are inserted into the plurality of placement holes 403 in sequence. After the capsules are placed in the plurality of placement holes 403, the capsules will automatically move downward until the lower part of the capsules contacts the bottom plate 408. At this time, the plurality of placement holes 403 can limit the capsules in the vertical direction, so that the capsules can be stably placed vertically in the plurality of placement holes 403. Then, the bottom plate 408 is operated to slide until the uppermost sides of the plurality of capsules coincide with the uppermost ends of the auxiliary conical surfaces 402.

[0028] Then, the baffle plate 205 can be operated to slide back and forth on the filling part 204, and then the circular hole groove on the filling part 204 is intermittently opened, so that the powder in the filling part 204 falls and falls into the processing table 401. After the powder falls in, part of the powder will directly enter the capsule for filling, and the rest of the powder will automatically fall into the processing table 401. At this time, the powder falling into the processing table 401 will be automatically guided by the multiple triangular blocks 409, so that the powder can be completely located in the horizontal space where the multiple rows of auxiliary cone surfaces 402 are located. Then, the processing table 401 can be operated to reciprocate on the fixed seat 105, so that the filling The medicine powder in the workbench 401 continuously rolls left and right in the processing table 401, thereby further facilitating the medicine powder to enter into the multiple capsules for filling, until the medicine powder in the multiple capsules is filled to the position overlapping with the highest side of the bottom plate 408, at which point the capsule filling is completed efficiently and the quality of the medicine components in the multiple capsules is ensured to be the same, then the bottom plate 408 can be slid upwards, thereby lifting up the multiple half capsules uniformly, then taking out the multiple half capsules in turn, and splicing the other half of the capsules onto the half capsules that have been filled, to form multiple complete capsules, and completing the processing process;

[0029] When the filling unit 204 is used to sprinkle the powder, the slider 203 can be operated to slide back and forth on the slide seat 201, so that the filling unit 204 can sprinkle the powder at different positions, so that the powder can be evenly sprinkled into the processing table 401, which brings stability guarantee for subsequent efficient filling operations;

[0030] The arrangement of multiple auxiliary conical surfaces 402 can provide auxiliary guiding function for the staff when inserting capsules into the multiple placement holes 403, bringing convenience to the actual operation. At the same time, when the subsequent medicine powder is sprinkled into the processing table 401, the medicine powder can also be guided, further facilitating the smooth entry of the medicine powder into the multiple half-capsules.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown:

[0032] It also includes a scraping portion 404 slidably connected to the processing table 401 , a third motor is fixedly connected to the processing table 401 , a second lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor, and the second lead screw is threadedly connected to the scraping portion 404 .

[0033] After the powder is sprinkled into the processing table 401 and the processing table 401 is rotated regularly to allow the powder to roll naturally in the processing table 401 for a period of time, the scraping part 404 can be operated to slide on the processing table 401 to actively scrape the powder on the processing table 401. During this process, if the powder in some capsules has reached the maximum filling value, the scraping part 404 will smoothly pass the position of the capsule and continue to move forward with the powder. When encountering an unfilled capsule, the powder pushed by the scraping part 404 will automatically enter the capsule for filling, which further facilitates multiple capsules to be filled with powder of the same quality, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic and efficient filling.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown:

[0035] It also includes a side plate 405 slidably connected to the processing table 401, a transmission part 406 is fixedly connected to the side plate 405, an arc surface part 407 is fixedly connected to the scraping part 404, and a first compression spring is fixedly connected between the side plate 405 and the processing table 401, the first compression spring can provide a thrust for the side plate 405 to slide upward, so that the side plate 405 can normally cover the front side of the processing table 401.

[0036] When too much medicine powder accumulates in the processing table 401, the medicine powder may be easily spilled during the process of rotating the processing table 401 left and right, or after the powder filling work of all capsules has been completed, the scraping part 404 can be operated to slide continuously on the processing table 401, and the medicine powder is scraped by the scraping part 404. When the scraping part 404 moves to the contact position between the arc surface part 407 and the transmission part 406, the continuously sliding scraping part 404 will automatically press the side plate 405 on the processing table 401 to overcome the elastic force of the first compression spring and slide downward, thereby removing the shielding effect of the side plate 405 on the processing table 401, and then rotating the processing table 401 can make the excess medicine powder remaining in the processing table 401 automatically slide off, and then automatically pour out the medicine powder from the processing table 401, which brings convenience to subsequent operations.

[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown:

[0038] It also includes a lever 207 rotatably connected to the filling part 204, a convex strip 206 is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 205, a second compression spring is fixedly connected between the baffle plate 205 and the filling part 204, the second compression spring can provide a thrust for the baffle plate 205 to slide leftward, and a fourth motor is fixedly connected to the filling part 204 that can drive the lever 207 to rotate.

[0039] During the process of sprinkling the powder, the lever 207 can be operated to continuously rotate on the filling portion 204, and then the lever 207 can continuously move the convex strip 206 to overcome the elastic force of the second compression spring to slide, so that the baffle plate 205 can achieve the effect of intermittent reciprocating sliding to the left, thereby completing the intermittent powder sprinkling operation.

[0040] like Figure 8-9 As shown:

[0041] It also includes a connecting plate 501 , to which a receiving portion 502 is detachably connected via bolts, and the receiving portion 502 is located at the lower side of the processing table 401 .

[0042] During actual use, when the medicine powder in the processing table 401 is poured out by rotating the processing table 401, the receiving portion 502 can receive the poured medicine powder and then store the medicine powder. Thereafter, the staff can remove the receiving portion 502 by loosening the bolts and then pour the medicine powder in the receiving portion 502 into the filling portion 204 for recovery, so as to facilitate subsequent refilling operations.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0044] It also includes a vertical rod 101, on which a slide seat 201 is slidably connected, and a spring 103 is fixedly connected between the slide seat 201 and the vertical rod 101, and the spring 103 can provide elastic force for the slide seat 201 to slide upward.

[0045] During the powder sprinkling operation using the filling section 204, as the powder in the filling section 204 gradually decreases, the slide 201 will gradually slide upward on the vertical rod 101 under the elastic force of the spring 103. The staff can accurately judge the remaining amount of powder in the filling section 204 based on the position of the slide 201, and then replenish the powder in the filling section 204 in time when the powder is insufficient, to ensure stable filling operation.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0047] It also includes a pressure sensor 102 fixedly connected to the vertical rod 101 .

[0048] As the medicine powder in the filling part 204 gradually decreases, when the slide seat 201 slides to the contact position with the pressure sensor 102, the pressure sensor 102 can be subjected to pressure, and then the pressure sensor 102 converts the pressure situation into an electrical signal for transmission, so that the staff who are no longer next to the equipment can still know the situation in time, which facilitates timely replenishment of medicine powder.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown:

[0050] It also includes a fixed sleeve 301 , on which a rotating rod 302 is rotatably connected, the slide seat 201 is fixedly connected with an auxiliary rod 202 , and the fixed sleeve 301 is fixedly connected with a fifth motor capable of driving the rotating rod 302 to rotate.

[0051] After the pressure sensor 102 transmits the electrical signal, the rotating rod 302 can be operated to rotate on the fixed sleeve 301, and then the rotating rod 302 can be used to actively move the slide 201 downward to test whether the electrical signal is interrupted, and then the working condition of the pressure sensor 102 can be checked, so as to avoid the situation where the pressure sensor 102 fails and transmits an erroneous signal;

[0052] When the powder in the processing table 401 needs to be discharged, if there is a failure in the power source driving the processing table 401 to slide, the rotating rod 302 can be operated to rotate on the fixed sleeve 301, so that the rotating rod 302 actively pushes the slide 201 to move downward, and the auxiliary rod 202 on the slide 201 actively presses the side plate 405 on the processing table 401 to overcome the elastic force of the first compression spring and move downward, thereby facilitating the spillage of the powder in the processing table 401.

[0053] like Figure 8-9 As shown:

[0054] The device also includes a knocking plate 104 detachably connected to the vertical rod 101 by bolts.

[0055] When checking the residual powder content in the filling part 204, the filling part 204 is slid to a position offset from the knocking plate 104, so that the slide 201 can smoothly contact the pressure sensor 102. In the process of sprinkling the powder, the rotating rod 302 can be operated to rotate regularly, and then the slide 201 can be pushed upward to slide, so that the filling part 204 actively collides with the knocking plate 104, causing the filling part 204 to vibrate slightly as a whole, so as to shake off the powder adhering to the filling part 204 and avoid material waste.

[0056] The capsule processing equipment is used for a method for processing capsules, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0057] Step 1: Add the medicine powder to be filled into the filling part 204, and then insert a plurality of half capsules to be filled into the plurality of placement holes 403 in sequence;

[0058] Step 2: operate the bottom plate 408 to slide until the uppermost sides of the plurality of capsules overlap with the uppermost end of the auxiliary conical surface 402;

[0059] Step 3: The lever 207 is rotated continuously, and the slider 203 is slid back and forth on the slide seat 201 in coordination with the slider 203;

[0060] Step 4: operate the processing table 401 to reciprocate on the fixed seat 105, and regularly operate the scraping part 404 to slide back and forth;

[0061] Step 5: Slide the bottom plate 408 upwards, then take out a plurality of half capsules and combine them with the other half capsules to complete the capsule processing.
