[0002] Constipation is a common disease, especially in the elderly. However, with the development of economy and the acceleration of the pace of life, the number of patients suffering from constipation is increasing, and the trend is towards young and middle-aged people. Although constipation is not a serious disease, it often causes great pain to patients, such as excessive heart and liver fire, constipation, abdominal distension and pain, irritability and insomnia, which not only affects the quality of life, but also brings certain difficulties to normal work. Long-term constipation can lead to acne, rectal prolapse, anal fissure, rectal cancer, and can induce cerebrovascular disease. Some elderly people even die suddenly during defecation due to constipation.

[0025] Embodiment 1 like Figure 2-6 As shown, this embodiment provides an aloe capsule forming system, comprising a running mechanism 1, along the circumferential rotation direction of the running mechanism 1 are sequentially provided with an upper shell feeding mechanism 2, a filling mechanism 3, a lower shell unloading mechanism 4 and a pressing mechanism 5; The upper shell feeding mechanism 2 and the lower shell unloading mechanism 4 both include: A material spreader 21, wherein the lower end of the material spreader 21 is an inverted cone structure and the output end is provided with a first opening and closing member 22, and the first opening and closing member 22 is used to control the intermittent discharge of the half shell in the material spreader 21; A feeding assembly 23, the feeding assembly 23 comprises a plate 232 whose two ends are elastically arranged on a plate 1 231 and which works with a regular amplitude under the drive of a vibration plate, a plurality of groups of feed holes 1 233 evenly arranged on the plate 232 and having an upper end with an eight-shaped opening structure, and a driving cylinder 234 for driving the plate 232 to move up and down, the spacing between two adjacent feed holes 1 233 is greater than the length of the semi-shell, a sliding plate 235 is slidably arranged on the upper end of the plate 232, and a feed hole 3 236 matching the feed hole 1 233 is arranged on the sliding plate 235; The rejecting assembly 24 includes a baffle plate 243 rotatably disposed below the second feed hole 241 through a torsion spring, a second feed hole 241 opened on the baffle plate 243 and disposed corresponding to the first feed hole 233, an ejector rod 244 disposed on the first plate 231 and disposed one-to-one with the second feed holes 241, a prying block 245 disposed on the first plate 231 and located below the second plate 232, a collecting box 246 disposed on the other side of the first plate 231 relative to the prying block 245 and disposed on the same side as the driving cylinder 234, and an agitator 247 located on one side of the prying block 245; and The discharging components 25 are arranged in a plurality of groups in an array along the width direction of the plate 231 and move along the length direction of the plate 231 .

[0026] In this embodiment, by setting up an upper shell feeding mechanism 2 and a lower shell unloading mechanism 4, the capsules of the half shells are automatically identified, so that the half shells irregularly located in the spreader 21 are output in the same state, that is, they are uniformly output to their respective corresponding workstations with their openings facing upward or downward, which is convenient for the subsequent precise pressing and forming of the upper and lower shells. On the other hand, the half shells with inaccurate orientations are identified and removed to avoid long-term accumulation of the half shells that affects the normal feeding of the next group of half shells, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0027] However, it is difficult to distinguish the front and back sides of the existing upper shells and lower shells during screening, so misoperation often occurs during the pressing work. Even if the oscillator outputs them one by one in each direction, the rhythm of the work is difficult to control and batch output of the upper shells and lower shells cannot be achieved. Only batches can be completed one by one, but it is impossible to achieve simultaneous batch output in rows.

[0028] In detail, take the working principle of the upper shell feeding mechanism 2 as an example: the spreader 21 discharges the material downward, the gun head of the vibrating disk is located above the plate 232 and drives the plate 232 to vibrate, and the upper shell 100 automatically enters the feed hole 1 233, then, the driving cylinder 234 is started and drives the plate 232 to descend until the ejector rod 244 passes through the feed hole 241 and penetrates into the capsule. At this time, the upper shell 100 with the opening facing downward does not move, but the bottom of the upper shell with the opening facing upward moves upward under the pushing force of the ejector rod, and leaves the feed hole 1 233 and moves to the top of the plate 232. Then, the plate 232 moves down to the prying block 245. Since the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 234 is hinged on the plate 232, one end of the plate 232 flips and tilts up, and the excess and discarded upper shells 100 are automatically output to the collection box 246 for collection.

[0029] The working principle of the lower shell unloading mechanism 4 is substantially the same as that of the upper shell loading mechanism 2, and will not be elaborated herein.

[0030] It should be noted that the cross-sectional diameter of the upper shell 100 is R1, the diameter of the hawthorn roll 300 is R3, and the diameter of the lower shell is R2, R3<R1<R2; the opening size of the second feed hole 241 is smaller than the bottom of the upper shell 100, and the lengths of the upper and lower shells are greater than the opening of the second feed hole 241.

[0031] Further, if Figure 6-7 As shown, the agitator 247 includes an air chamber 2471 with a plurality of air holes 2470 at the outer end, a T-shaped pushing block 2472 which is horizontally slidably arranged in the air chamber 2471 and elastically installed outside the air chamber 2471, a spherical block 2473 located at the outer end of the pushing block 2472, and a triangular block 2474 which is fixedly connected to the driving cylinder 234 and intermittently contacts the spherical block 2473.

[0032] It should be noted that after the driving cylinder 234 descends and the capsule shell with the opening facing upward is removed, the driving cylinder 234 continues to descend, and the triangular block 2474 moves to the spherical block 2473 and acts accordingly on the spherical block 2473, and the spherical block 2473 repeatedly acts on the air bin 2471 through the T-shaped pushing block 2472, so that the air flow generated by the agitation bulges outward through the air hole 2470, and cooperates with the inclined plate 232 to output the removed non-standard and redundant capsule half shells to the collection box 246 for collection.

[0033] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, the first opening and closing member 22 includes two groups of opening and closing plates 221 symmetrically and elastically arranged at the lower end of the spreader 21, a first driving rack 222 installed on the opening and closing plate 221, a first driving wheel 223 driving the two groups of the first driving racks 222 to drive in reverse, a second driving wheel 224 driving the first driving wheel 223 to drive synchronously, and a second driving rack 225 driving the second driving wheel 224 to rotate and fixedly connected to the discharge assembly 25.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting the first opening and closing member 22 to cooperate with the discharging assembly 25, on the one hand, it ensures that the capsule is reset after being output, so that new capsules can be output to the plate 232 in an appropriate amount for arrangement, avoiding work errors that lead to capsule output errors, and the front and back work are closely connected and easy to control; on the other hand, one driving force is used to synchronously drive the two work to work synchronously, saving additional power output and reducing production costs.

[0035] In detail, when the capsule is discharged and the material receiving process of the discharge component 25 is completed, the sprocket transmission unit 1 261 or the sprocket transmission unit 271 continues to transmit, and the second drive rack 225 drives the second drive wheel 224 to rotate. The rotating second drive wheel 224 drives the first drive wheel 223 to transmit synchronously. The two groups of first drive wheels 223 rotate synchronously and drive the first drive rack 222 to drive the opening and closing plate 221 to transmit synchronously in the same or reverse direction, thereby realizing the opening and closing work of the lower end of the spreader 21.

[0036] Further, if Figure 8-10 As shown, the discharge assembly 25 of the upper shell loading mechanism 2 also includes a sprocket transmission unit 261, a receiving frame 262 installed on the sprocket transmission unit 261, an arc plate 263 arranged at the corner part of the sprocket transmission unit 261, a blocking unit 264 arranged at the output end of the arc plate 263, and a receiving frame 265 located at the lower inner side of the blocking unit 264, the arc plate 263 above the receiving frame 265 is provided with a discharge port 266, and the blocking unit 264 includes a limiting column 268 elastically arranged in the opening 267 of the arc plate 263.

[0037] It should be noted that the specifications of the upper shell and the lower shell are inconsistent. During the press-fit assembly, the openings of the upper and lower shells are relatively set. When adjusting the position, first of all, whether the opening needs to be upward or downward, the position needs to be adjusted through the upper shell loading mechanism 2 and the lower shell unloading mechanism 4. The working process is the same, and both realize the opening of the half shell downward, but the position adjustment method is different when the discharge component is output.

[0038] In detail, when the upper shell is discharging, the sprocket transmission unit 261 drives the material receiving frame 262 to move. When the material receiving frame 262 moves to the baffle 243, it drives the baffle 243 to rotate and open. At this time, the upper shell on the baffle 243 falls into the material receiving frame 262 for collection. When the material receiving frame 262 is removed, the baffle 243 is reset under the action of elasticity. After completing the material receiving work of a group of upper shell groups, the material receiving frame 262 continues to move to the arc plate 263, and under the guidance and limitation of the arc plate 263, the upper shell in the material receiving frame 262 moves from the opening downward to the opening upward, until the material receiving frame 262 moves to the blocking unit 264 and is limited by the limiting column 268. The upper end of the limiting column 268 is squeezed and moves downward. During the time when the material receiving frame 262 stays, the capsule body in the material receiving frame 262 falls to the material receiving frame 2 265 through the discharge port 266 for collection.

[0039] Further, if Figure 11-12As shown, the discharging assembly 25 of the lower shell discharging mechanism 4 also includes a sprocket transmission unit 271 that is synchronously driven with the sprocket transmission unit 1 261, a mounting seat 272 mounted on the sprocket transmission unit 271, a material receiving frame 3 273 elastically slidably arranged on the mounting seat 272, a push-out cylinder 274 arranged on one side of the sprocket transmission unit 1 261, and a material receiving frame 4 275 arranged at the other end of the push-out cylinder 274 relative to the material receiving frame 3 273; The lower ends of the second receiving frame 265 and the fourth receiving frame 275 are both provided with a second opening and closing member 28, which includes a shielding block 281, a control electrical device that drives the shielding block 281 to automatically open and close, and an intermittent switch for controlling a negative pressure unit 282 for controlling the second to last half shell to fall.

[0040] When the lower shell body is discharging, the sprocket transmission unit 271 synchronously drives the material receiving frame 3 273 to move. Similarly, when the material receiving frame 3 273 moves to the baffle plate 243, it drives the baffle plate 243 to rotate and open. At this time, the lower shell body on the baffle plate 243 falls into the material receiving frame 3 273 for collection. After the material receiving frame 3 273 is removed, the baffle plate 243 is reset under the action of elasticity. After the material receiving work of a group of lower shell bodies is completed, the pushing cylinder 274 is started. The output end of the pushing cylinder 274 is the pushing plate, which acts on the material receiving frame 3 273. The material receiving frame 3 273 overcomes the elastic force and is pushed outward. Until it is dragged to the top of the material receiving frame 4 275, the pushing cylinder 274 stops pushing, and the lower shell body group in the material receiving frame 3 273 enters into the material receiving frame 4 275 for collection. The opening at the upper end of the material receiving frame 4 275 is slightly larger than the discharge port of the material receiving frame 3 273.

[0041] As a further design of the structure, a second opening and closing piece 28 is provided at the lower end of the receiving frame 265 and the receiving frame 4 275. The negative pressure unit 282 is used to control the falling of the second to last half shell. When the capsule at the lower end needs to be output, the blocking block 281 is opened and the second to last half shell is adsorbed and suspended. After the capsule is output, the blocking block 281 is closed, and then the second to last half shell loses the adsorption of the negative pressure unit 282 and falls above the blocking block 281.

[0042] Further, if Fig.14 As shown, the pressing mechanism 5 includes a press 51 and an elastic top block 52 arranged below the press 51 and corresponding to the lower shell in a one-to-one manner.

[0043] In this embodiment, by providing a pressing mechanism 5, the elastic top block 52 presses the corresponding lower shell 200 onto the upper shell 100, thereby encapsulating the hawthorn roll and the aloe vera gel in the capsule.

[0044] Further, if Figure 15-14As shown, the operating mechanism 1 includes a chassis 11, a turntable 12 rotatably arranged on the chassis 11 and fitted with the chassis 11, a plurality of groups of accommodating cavities 13 uniformly opened along the circumferential direction of the turntable 12 and matched with the shape of the semi-shell, and a blanking hole 14 opened on the chassis 11 and corresponding to the accommodating cavity 13, and an output box 15 is arranged below the blanking hole 14.

[0045] In detail, the rotation of the turntable 12 drives the upper shell to rotate in a circle to complete the capsule assembly work in each workstation. During the rotation, the turntable 12 is limited by the chassis 11, and the upper shell will not fall until it moves to the drop hole 14. The upper shell in the accommodating cavity 13 drops through the drop hole 14 to the output box 15 for collection.

[0046] Further, if Figure 15-17 As shown, a transfer mechanism 6 is also arranged above the operating mechanism 1, and the transfer mechanism 6 includes a swing component 1 61 located below the second material receiving frame 265, a swing component 2 62 located below the fourth material receiving frame 275, and a baffle plate 63 arranged in contact with the lower surface of the swing component 1 61; The swing assembly 1 61 and the swing assembly 2 62 both include a swing rod 1 64 rotatably set on the baffle plate 63 and a transfer hole 1 65 opened on the baffle plate 63 and corresponding to the accommodating chamber 13. The swing rod 1 64 is provided with a plurality of transfer holes 2 66 corresponding to the transfer holes 1 65. The semi-shell located in the transfer holes 2 66 remains suspended under the negative pressure adsorption inside the swing rod 1 64.

[0047] In this embodiment, a transfer mechanism 6 is provided to cooperate with the operating mechanism 1, the upper shell and the lower shell are sent to the operating mechanism 1, and the upper shell loading-hawthorn roll loading-aloe vera gel loading-lower shell loading are completed in sequence. The working rhythm is consistent, and a complete capsule production line can be realized without stopping for waiting. Each functional structure is reasonably arranged in accordance with the process sequence, and the functional areas are clearly divided.

[0048] In detail, the swing component 61 rotates to the bottom of the material receiving frame 265. At this time, the upper shell in the material receiving frame 265 falls into the transfer hole 266 of the swing rod 1 64, and then the lower part of the upper shell in the transfer hole 266 is limited by the baffle plate 63 until the upper shell in the transfer hole 266 moves to the transfer hole 1 65 and falls into the accommodating chamber 13 through the transfer hole 1 65 for collection. In order to confirm the accuracy and stability of the transmission process and the release process, the present application is also provided with negative pressure adsorption, and the adsorption and release will only occur when it moves to the predetermined position.

[0049] It should be noted that when the transfer mechanism 6 is located below the second material receiving frame 265, the length direction of the transfer mechanism 6 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the sprocket chain transmission unit.

[0050] Furthermore, Figure 18-19 As shown, the packing mechanism 3 comprises: A hawthorn upper assembly 31, the hawthorn upper assembly 31 comprises a temporary storage bin 32 for temporarily storing hawthorn rolls 300, a swing rod 2 33 rotatably arranged above the chassis 11 and having an extended portion of a plate that is fitted with the bottom of the temporary storage bin 32, the swing rod 2 33 is provided with a plurality of groups of transfer holes 3 34 corresponding to the transfer holes 1 65, and the hawthorn rolls in the transfer holes 3 34 are kept suspended under the negative pressure adsorption inside the swing rod 2 33; A guide ring 35, which is located between the second swing rod 33 and the turntable 12 and has an arc-shaped structure; and The glue injection part 36 includes a glue injection machine 361 for injecting aloe vera colloid into the interior of the hawthorn roll. The glue heads 362 of the glue injection machine 361 are arranged in several groups and are arranged one by one with the accommodating cavities 13. The glue heads 362 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction.

[0051] In detail, the hawthorn rolls 300 in the temporary storage bin 32 fall into the transfer hole three 34 of the lower swing rod two 33 in turn, and then the hawthorn rolls in the transfer hole three 34 remain suspended under the negative pressure adsorption inside the swing rod two 33, and the rotating swing rod two 33 rotates and moves to the top of the guide ring 35. At this time, the transfer hole three 34 and the transfer hole one 65 are set in a one-to-one correspondence. After they are in place, the negative pressure is cancelled, and the hawthorn rolls in the transfer hole three 34 lose their limiting guide and fall vertically into the upper shell in the transfer hole one 65 under the guidance of the guide ring 35. Then the glue injection machine 361 is started, and the glue head 362 extends into the hawthorn roll to inject glue. After the glue injection is completed, the turntable 12 continues to rotate.

[0052] Embodiment 2 like Figure 1 As shown, the components identical or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are marked with the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment are described below. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: A molding process of an aloe capsule molding system comprises the following steps: Step 1: half-shell loading process, a plurality of upper shells 100 are sequentially loaded into the upper shell loading mechanism 2, and the upper shells output from the upper shell loading mechanism 2 are moved into the operating mechanism 1 through the swing assembly 1 61, and are transmitted backward along with the operating mechanism 1; Step 2, the hawthorn roll delivery process, the upper shell 100 moves to the bottom of the filling mechanism 3, the hawthorn upper assembly 31 puts the hawthorn roll 300 into the corresponding upper shell, and the injection part 36 passes the aloe vera colloid into the upper shell, and the aloe vera colloid is tightly attached to the inner wall of the hawthorn roll to complete the filling of the hollow part of the aloe vera colloid. After the feeding is completed at this stage, the upper shell 100 continues to be driven backward with the operating mechanism 1; Step 3, capsule pressing and molding process, a plurality of groups of lower shells 200 are sequentially loaded into the lower shell feeding mechanism, the lower shells output from the lower shell feeding mechanism are moved to the pressing mechanism 5 through the swing assembly 2 62, the pressing mechanism 5 presses the lower shell 200 correspondingly onto the upper part of the upper shell, and after the capsule molding work is completed, it continues to be transmitted backward with the operating mechanism 1; Step 4, finished product output process, the formed capsule 400 is moved to the drop hole 14 and output to the output box 15 for collection in time.

[0053] In this example, by adding hawthorn rolls into the capsule, on the one hand, from the perspective of product materials, the use of aloe vera gel can promote digestion and avoid constipation problems; on the other hand, the aloe vera gel is fully wrapped in the capsule by hawthorn rolls, so that the filling height of the aloe vera gel can be higher than half the height of the shell, thereby making full use of the capsule method; The existing aloe vera gel capsules are all made of fully covered soft capsules, similar to the structure of cod liver oil, but the disadvantage is that when half a capsule is eaten, the remaining aloe vera gel in the capsule is easy to leak. The present application adopts the method of closing the upper and lower shells, and the upper and lower shells are plugged in and out. In addition, the fluidity of aloe vera gel is poor and is blocked by the hawthorn curl, so the sealing is better during normal use.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
