Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of capsule production, and in particular to a full-automatic capsule production line. Background Art

[0002] Capsules are a common drug dosage form. They have many advantages, such as being easy to swallow and protecting the efficacy of the drugs inside, which makes them widely used in the medical field.

[0003] After the capsules are produced, they need to be placed one by one in the placement grooves of the blister plate, and then the blister plate is encapsulated and packaged. The existing capsule placement is usually to arrange the capsules in order through a vibration plate, and then convey the capsules to the blisters of the blister plate through relevant conveying channels. However, due to the mutual pushing of the conveyed capsules and the action of their own inertia, the capsules cannot be accurately placed in the blisters of the blister plate, and are prone to offset and skew, and fall on the surface of the blister, affecting the subsequent packaging of the blister plate. At the same time, the blister of the blister plate used to place the capsule is usually formed by vacuuming the material, but the formed blister is soft and thin. During the placement, transportation and use of the blister plate, the blister is easily concave inwardly due to external force, causing the blister and the capsule to be transferred to the packaging process together, and the capsule is easy to fall out of the blister, affecting the stability of the capsule after placement and affecting the capsule production. In addition, due to uneven heating or problems with the material itself, the formed blister will have small cracks or holes, which will affect the sealing and protection performance of the subsequent blister packaging capsules.

[0004] In addition, when the capsule is placed in the blister plate after being transported by mechanical structures such as the vibration plate and the conveying channel, it is also necessary to inspect the appearance of the placed capsule to check whether the capsule has scratches, dents or other defects during the transportation process. When defects are detected in the capsule, it is necessary to manually remove it and replace it. However, the capsule is placed in a small blister, which makes it difficult to remove the capsule manually and requires a lot of manpower to complete, thereby reducing the efficiency of the overall production line. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the disadvantage that the capsules cannot be accurately placed in the blisters of the blister plate due to mutual pushing and the action of their own inertia, and are easily offset and skewed and fall on the blister surface, thus affecting the subsequent blister plate packaging, the present invention provides a fully automatic capsule production line.

[0006] The technical scheme of the present invention is: a fully automatic capsule production line, including a conveying platform and a packaging mechanism; the conveying platform is provided with a conveying part; the conveying platform is connected to a packaging mechanism for packaging a capsule blister plate; the conveying platform is connected to a feeding mechanism for supplementing capsules, and the feeding mechanism is located on the left side of the packaging mechanism; it also includes a moving component, a moving plate, a fixed frame, a receiving bin, a sealing plate and an extrusion convex block; the conveying platform is connected to a moving component; the moving component is connected to a moving plate, and the moving component is used to drive the moving plate to move; the moving plate is fixedly connected to a plurality of fixed frames; each fixed frame is fixedly connected to a sealing plate; each sealing plate is fixedly connected to a receiving bin; each receiving bin is connected to a round tube, the round tube is set to a flexible material, and the round tube is connected to an external capsule conveying mechanism; each receiving bin is connected to an extrusion convex block at the lower side; each extrusion convex block is composed of two half extrusion blocks, each half extrusion block is rotatably connected to the lower side of the receiving bin through an electric rotating shaft, and when two half extrusion blocks on the same receiving bin are combined to form an extrusion convex block, a cavity is formed inside the extrusion convex block, and the cavity is connected to the receiving bin.

[0007] More preferably, the shape of the extrusion protrusion is the same as the shape of the capsule groove, and the volume of the extrusion protrusion is slightly smaller than the size of the capsule groove.

[0008] More preferably, a ventilation pipe is also included; each extrusion protrusion is fixedly connected to a ventilation pipe, and the ventilation pipe passes through the sealing plate and is connected to the external pump; the extrusion protrusion has a plurality of air holes, and the air holes are connected to the ventilation pipe, and an air pressure sensor is arranged in the ventilation pipe.

[0009] More preferably, sensors are also included; and each sealing plate is fixedly connected with a plurality of sensors.

[0010] More preferably, a rubber gasket is provided at the bottom of the sealing plate.

[0011] More preferably, a buffer pad is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating bin away from the circular tube.

[0012] More preferably, it also includes a rotating roller and an industrial visual camera; each half extrusion block is rotatably connected to a rotating roller via an electric roller; and an industrial visual camera for detecting the status of capsules is fixed inside the accommodating bin.

[0013] More preferably, the surface of the rotating roller is made of flexible silicone material.

[0014] More preferably, the air hole is located at the bottom of the extrusion protrusion.

[0015] More preferably, a placement box is further included; the conveying platform is fixedly connected with the placement box for storing defective capsules.

[0016] The beneficial effect is that by opening the cavity, the capsule in the cavity falls downward and finally falls into the capsule slot, so that the capsule can fall into the capsule slot accurately. Compared with the existing capsule conveying method, it can avoid the situation in which the conveyed capsules are pushed against each other and due to their own inertia during the capsule conveying process, and the capsules cannot be accurately placed in the capsule slot, and are prone to deviation and skewness, and fall on the surface of the capsule blister plate. The present invention can ensure the accurate placement of the capsule.

[0017] During the process of squeezing and restoring the capsule blister plate with the concave part on the capsule blister plate by moving the squeezing convex block downward, gas is introduced into the gap between the capsule groove and the squeezing convex block through the vent pipe from the air hole of the squeezing convex block to test the air tightness of the capsule blister plate to ensure the sealing effect of the subsequent capsule packaging.

[0018] The industrial vision camera is used to inspect the capsule delivered into the cavity to check whether the capsule has scratches, dents or other defects, and drives the corresponding rotating rollers to rotate in the same direction. The rotating rollers drive the capsule in the cavity to rotate, allowing the industrial vision camera to inspect various parts of the capsule. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] A fully automatic capsule production line, such as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, it includes a conveying platform 1 and a packaging mechanism 2; the conveying platform 1 is provided with a conveying portion 01; the conveying platform 1 is connected to the packaging mechanism 2; the conveying platform 1 is connected to a feeding mechanism 21, and the feeding mechanism 21 is located on the left side of the packaging mechanism 2;

[0029] It also includes a moving component, a moving plate 3, a fixing frame 4, a receiving chamber 5, a sealing plate 6 and an extrusion protrusion 7; the conveying platform 1 is connected to the moving component; the moving component is connected to the moving plate 3, and the moving component is used to drive the moving plate 3 to move; the moving plate 3 is fixedly connected to a plurality of fixing frames 4; each fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to a sealing plate 6; each sealing plate 6 is fixedly connected to a receiving chamber 5 on the upper side; each receiving chamber 5 is connected to a round tube 51, which is made of a flexible material and is connected to the external capsule conveying mechanism; the lower side of each receiving chamber 5 Each is connected with an extrusion protrusion 7; each extrusion protrusion 7 is composed of two half extrusion blocks 71, and each half extrusion block 71 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the accommodating bin 5 through an electric rotating shaft. When the two half extrusion blocks 71 on the same accommodating bin 5 are combined to form an extrusion protrusion 7, a cavity 701 is formed inside the extrusion protrusion 7, and the cavity 701 is connected with the accommodating bin 5. When the capsule is transported into the accommodating bin 5, the capsule falls into the cavity 701 and is rotated open by the two half extrusion blocks 71, so that the capsule can fall into the capsule slot 1001 of the capsule blister plate 100.

[0030] The shape of the extrusion protrusion 7 is the same as that of the capsule groove 1001. The extrusion protrusion 7 can be used to push out and restore the depressed part of the capsule groove 1001, which is convenient for the subsequent placement of capsules. The volume of the extrusion protrusion 7 is slightly smaller than the size of the capsule groove 1001, which facilitates the extrusion protrusion 7 to enter the capsule groove 1001.

[0031] It also includes a ventilation pipe 8; each extrusion protrusion 7 is fixedly connected to a ventilation pipe 8, and the ventilation pipe 8 passes through the sealing plate 6 and is connected to the external pump; the extrusion protrusion 7 has six air holes 702, and the air holes 702 are connected to the ventilation pipe 8, and an air pressure sensor is arranged in the ventilation pipe 8.

[0032] It also includes a sensor 9; each sealing plate 6 is fixedly connected to four sensors 9 distributed in a rectangular array. When the sealing plate 6 moves down to cover the capsule slot 1001, the sensor 9 contacts and senses the surface of the capsule blister plate 100 to ensure that the sealing plate 6 fits the surface of the capsule blister plate 100 and seals the capsule slot 1001.

[0033] A rubber gasket is provided at the bottom of the sealing plate 6 to increase the sealing effect when the sealing plate 6 is attached to the surface of the capsule blister plate 100 .

[0034] A buffer pad is provided on the inner wall of the storage bin 5 away from the circular tube 51. When the capsule is transported to the interior of the storage bin 5 through the circular tube 51, the buffer pad can cushion the capsule to prevent the capsule from colliding with the inner wall of the storage bin 5 due to inertia.

[0035] The moving assembly includes an electric guide rail 101, a moving block 102, a mounting plate 103 and a pneumatic telescopic rod 104; the electric guide rail 101 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame of the conveying platform 1; the electric guide rail 101 is slidably connected to the moving block 102; the moving block 102 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 103; the mounting plate 103 is fixedly connected to two pneumatic telescopic rods 104; the telescopic parts of the two pneumatic telescopic rods 104 are commonly fixedly connected to a moving flat plate 3.

[0036] When the capsules are finished and are being packaged, the existing method of placing the capsules is usually to arrange the capsules in order through a vibrating plate, and then to transport the capsules to the blisters of the blister plate through relevant conveying channels. However, due to the mutual pushing of the conveyed capsules and the action of their own inertia, it is difficult for the capsules to be accurately placed in the blisters of the blister plate, and they are prone to deviation and skewness, and fall on the surface of the blister plate, affecting the subsequent packaging of the blister plate. Therefore, when the present invention is working, the capsule blister plate 100 is automatically placed on the conveying platform 1 through an external device. At this time, the front end and the rear end of the capsule blister plate 100 are limited by the conveying part 01 of the conveying platform 1, and the capsule slot 1001 of the capsule blister plate 100 is in a suspended state. Then the conveying part 01 of the conveying platform 1 is controlled to work, and the front end and the rear end of the capsule blister plate 100 are limited by the conveying part 01 of the conveying platform 1. The rear end is transported to transport the capsule blister plate 100 from left to right to just below the moving flat plate 3. At the same time, during the transport of the capsule blister plate 100 from left to right, the external capsule transport mechanism is controlled to transport a capsule to the containing bin 5 through the circular tube 51. The capsule transported to the containing bin 5 falls into the cavity 701. During the transport of the capsule blister plate 100 to just below the moving flat plate 3, the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 is controlled to drive the moving flat plate 3, the fixed frame 4, the containing bin 5, the sealing plate 6 and the extrusion protrusion 7 to move downward. When the capsule blister plate 100 is transported to just below the moving flat plate 3, the extrusion protrusion 7 is aligned with the capsule slot 1001 of the capsule blister plate 100 up and down, and the extrusion protrusion 7 has moved downward close to the capsule slot 1001. At this time, the electric rotating shaft on the containing bin 5 drives the corresponding two half extrusion blocks 71 to rotate in opposite directions. Figure 6As shown, the cavity 701 is opened, so that the capsule in the cavity 701 falls downward and finally falls into the capsule slot 1001, so that the capsule can fall into the capsule slot 1001 accurately. Compared with the existing capsule conveying method, it can avoid the situation in which the conveyed capsules cannot be accurately placed in the capsule slot 1001 due to mutual pushing and the action of their own inertia during capsule conveying, and the capsules are easily offset and skewed, and fall on the surface of the capsule blister plate 100. The present invention can ensure the accurate placement of the capsule; after the cavity 701 is opened and the capsule falls into the capsule slot 1001, the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 drives the moving plate 3 and the extrusion protrusion 7 to move upward, and the electric rotating shaft on the accommodating bin 5 drives the corresponding two half extrusion blocks 71 to reset, and at the same time the external capsule conveying mechanism conveys another capsule through the circular tube 51 The capsule blister plate 100 is packed with the capsules in a container 704 and packed with the packaging means 200. The packaging means 200 is used to package the capsules in the container 704. The packaging means 200 is used to package the capsules in the container 704. The packaging means 200 is used to package the capsules in the container 704. The packaging means 200 is used to package the capsules in the container 704. The packaging means 200 is used to package the capsules in the container 704. The packaging means 200 is used to package the capsules in the container 704. The packaging means 200 is used to package the capsules in the container 704.

[0037] At the same time, it is taken into account that the blister used to place the capsule is usually formed by vacuuming the material, but the formed blister is soft and thin, and the blister plate is easily dented inwards due to external force during placement, transportation and use; and due to uneven heating or problems with the material itself, the formed blister may have small cracks or holes, which will affect the sealing and protective performance of the subsequent blister packaging capsules, and the existing capsule packaging process lacks detection of the blister plate; therefore, when the capsule blister plate 100 is conveyed to the bottom of the moving plate 3, the conveying part 01 of the conveying platform 1 temporarily stops conveying the capsule blister plate 100, and controls the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 to continue to drive the moving plate 3 and the extrusion protrusion 7 to move downward. At this time, the two half extrusion blocks 71 do not rotate in opposite directions to open the cavity 701, so that the extrusion protrusion 7 moves down into the corresponding capsule slot 1001. Since the shape of the extrusion protrusion 7 is the same as that of the capsule slot 1001, and the volume of the extrusion protrusion 7 is slightly smaller than that of the capsule slot 1001, the extrusion protrusion 7 is slightly smaller than that of the capsule slot 1001. The size of the capsule slot 1001 is that when the extrusion protrusion 7 moves down into the capsule slot 1001, the capsule blister plate 100 with the concave part on the capsule blister plate 100 is squeezed by the extrusion protrusion 7 moving down, and the concave capsule slot 1001 is restored, and then the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 is controlled to drive the movable plate 3 and the extrusion protrusion 7 to move upward. During the upward movement of the extrusion protrusion 7, when the bottom of the extrusion protrusion 7 is separated from the capsule slot 1001, the electric shaft on the accommodating bin 5 drives the corresponding two half extrusion blocks 71 to rotate in opposite directions, and the cavity 701 is opened, so that the capsule in the cavity 701 can fall into the capsule slot 1001 accurately, so that the capsule is stably placed in the capsule slot 1001, and after the capsule is placed, the capsule blister plate 100 and the capsule are transferred to the subsequent packaging process together, and the capsule is easy to fall out of the capsule slot 1001, resulting in the need for manual feeding and extrusion and restoration operations on the capsule slot 1001, which affects the capsule production.

[0038] At the same time, after the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 drives the movable plate 3 and the extrusion protrusion 7 to move from top to bottom into the capsule slot 1001, as the extrusion protrusion 7 moves downward in the capsule slot 1001, the sealing plate 6 and the sensor 9 stop moving when they contact the surface of the capsule blister plate 100. At this time, the sealing plate 6 closes the capsule slot 1001, and the extrusion protrusion 7 restores the concave capsule slot 1001, and the sensor 9 contacts the surface of the capsule blister plate 100 to ensure that the sealing plate 6 descends to fit the surface of the capsule blister plate 100 to seal the capsule slot 1001. , then control the external pump to let a fixed amount of gas flow into the gap between the capsule slot 1001 and the extrusion protrusion 7 from the air hole 702 of the extrusion protrusion 7 through the vent pipe 8, and then detect the air pressure inside the capsule slot 1001 through the air pressure sensor arranged inside the vent pipe 8, so as to detect the sealing performance of the capsule slot 1001. When the air pressure remains unchanged, it indicates that the capsule slot 1001 is intact; at this time, the introduced gas fills the gap between the capsule slot 1001 and the extrusion protrusion 7, and the gas can also cooperate with the extrusion protrusion 7 to further expand and restore the concave part of the capsule slot 1001, so that The concave part of the capsule slot 1001 is fully restored to ensure that the capsule is stably placed in the capsule slot 1001; when the air pressure inside the capsule slot 1001 gradually decreases, it means that there is a problem with the air tightness of the capsule slot 1001 and the capsule cannot be sealed and protected; at this time, the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 drives the moving plate 3 and the extrusion protrusion 7 to move upward, the electric shaft on the accommodating bin 5 is not started, the cavity 701 remains in a closed state, and the conveying part 01 of the conveying platform 1 continues to convey the unqualified capsule blister plate 100 to the right, so that the unqualified capsule blister plate 100 is separated from the conveying platform 1, and the external transfer gripper transfers it to the external collection box, and the next capsule blister plate 100 is conveyed to the bottom of the mobile flat plate 3, and the above-mentioned recovery, detection and discharge operations are repeated; in this way, the capsule blister plate 100 with a concave portion on the capsule blister plate 100 is squeezed and restored by moving the extrusion protrusion 7 downward, and at the same time, the gas is introduced into the gap between the capsule groove 1001 and the extrusion protrusion 7 through the vent pipe 8 from the air hole 702 of the extrusion protrusion 7, and the air tightness of the capsule blister plate 100 is detected to ensure the sealing effect of subsequent capsule packaging.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a rotating roller 201 and an industrial visual camera 202; each half extrusion block 71 is rotatably connected to a rotating roller 201 through an electric roller; and an industrial visual camera 202 is fixedly connected to the interior of the accommodating bin 5.

[0041] The surface of the rotating roller 201 is made of a flexible silicone material to prevent the rotating roller 201 from causing damage to the capsule and to cushion the dropped capsule.

[0042] The air hole 702 is located at the bottom of the extrusion protrusion 7. When the defective capsule is placed in the capsule slot 1001, the external pump is controlled to reverse and the ventilation pipe 8 is used to evacuate air. The defective capsule is sucked through the air hole 702 at the bottom of the extrusion protrusion 7 and taken out of the capsule slot 1001, avoiding the need for manual removal later. This not only saves time and effort, but also improves the efficiency of the entire production line.

[0043] It also includes a placement box 10 ; the placement box 10 is fixedly connected to the conveying platform 1 .

[0044] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, when the capsule is placed in the blister plate after being transported by an external capsule conveying mechanism, such as a vibration plate of the external capsule conveying mechanism, a conveying channel and other mechanical structures, it is also necessary to inspect the appearance of the placed capsule to detect whether the capsule has scratches, dents and other defects during the conveying process. When defects are detected in the capsule, it is necessary to manually take it out and replace it; but at this time, the capsule is placed in a narrow blister, and it is difficult to take the capsule out manually, and it takes a lot of manpower to complete it, thereby reducing the efficiency of the overall production line; therefore, when the capsule is conveyed into the cavity 701, while the extrusion protrusion 7 moves downward to recover and inspect the capsule blister plate 100, the industrial visual camera 202 arranged in the accommodating bin 5 is controlled to work to inspect the conveying The capsule sent to the cavity 701 is inspected to see if there are scratches, dents or other defects on the capsule. However, there is a blind spot in the detection of the capsule placed in the cavity 701. Therefore, when the industrial vision camera 202 is working, the electric rollers on the two half extrusion blocks 71 are controlled to drive the corresponding rotating rollers 201 to rotate respectively, and rotate in the same direction. The rotating rollers 201 drive the capsule at the cavity 701 to rotate, so that the industrial vision camera 202 can detect various parts of the capsule; when the extrusion convex block 7 is restored and the detection is completed, and the extrusion convex block 7 is controlled to move upward, the industrial vision camera 202 completes the detection of the capsule at the same time. At this time, the rotating roller 201 is controlled to stop rotating, and the above steps are repeated. When the bottom of the extrusion convex block 7 is out of the capsule slot 10 01, the electric rotating shaft on the accommodating bin 5 is controlled to drive the corresponding two half-extrusion blocks 71 to rotate in opposite directions, open the cavity 701, and discharge the capsule; and, when a defect is detected in the capsule, the defective capsule is still placed in the capsule slot 1001, at this time, the two half-extrusion blocks 71 are controlled to reset, and the extrusion protrusion 7 is re-formed. In the process of conveying another capsule to the cavity 701, the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 is controlled to drive the extrusion protrusion 7 to move downward and contact the surface of the capsule placed on the capsule slot 1001. At this time, the external pump at the extrusion protrusion 7 facing the defective capsule is reversed, and the ventilation pipe 8 is evacuated to absorb the defective capsule through the air hole 702 at the bottom of the extrusion protrusion 7, and then the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 is controlled to drive the extrusion protrusion 7 to move downward and contact the surface of the capsule placed on the capsule slot 1001. The pressing protrusion 7 is moved upward to take the defective capsule out of the capsule slot 1001, and the moving block 102 is controlled to drive the mounting plate 103, the pneumatic telescopic rod 104 and the squeezing protrusion 7 to move backward along the electric guide rail 101, driving the squeezing protrusion 7 and the capsule sucked by the squeezing protrusion 7 to move to the top of the placement box 10, and then the external pump is controlled to stop working, and the defective capsule is placed in the placement box 10 for collection, and then the squeezing protrusion 7 is controlled to move and reset, and the above operation is repeated to perform subsequent recovery, detection and discharge operations; the defective capsule is sucked through the air hole 702 located at the bottom of the squeezing protrusion 7, and the defective capsule is taken out of the capsule slot 1001, avoiding the need to manually take it out later, which not only saves time and labor, but also can improve the efficiency of the overall production line;The conveying unit 01 is subsequently controlled to drive the capsule blister plate 100 with the defective capsule removed to continue conveying to the right. When the capsule blister plate 100 with the defective capsule removed moves through the filling mechanism 21, the vacant capsule slots 1001 are filled with capsules by the filling mechanism 21, and then the capsule blister plate 100 with the capsules placed therein is packaged by the packaging mechanism 2. In this way, the present invention can simultaneously restore and detect the capsule slots 1001 and accurately place and detect defects of the capsules during the capsule production process, thereby optimizing the production process. ;

[0045] Although the present disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art having benefit of this disclosure will appreciate that various other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
