The tank body 1 is provided with flexible holding pockets 3 and guiding rings 4 alternately arranged from top to bottom, and a gap 8 for capsules to pass through is left between the flexible holding pockets 3 and the inner wall of the tank body 1. The guiding ring 4 is used to guide the capsules vacated by the adjacent upper flexible holding pocket 3 into the adjacent lower flexible holding pocket 3. The tank body 1 is provided with a driving mechanism 5 connected to the bottom of the flexible holding pocket 3. The bottoms of the flexible holding pockets 3 from bottom to top are pulled upward one by one by the pulling of the driving mechanism 5 to vacate the capsules one by one.

[0019] The openings of the flexible holding pockets 3 are each provided with an annular expansion body 9 , and the annular expansion body 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the can body 1 through a plurality of support bodies 10 , with a gap 8 being left between the annular expansion body 9 and the inner wall of the can body 1 .

[0020] The flexible storage bag 3 is a flexible net bag.

[0021] The driving mechanism 5 includes a hollow tube 51, a plurality of connecting bodies 52, a piston body 53, a magnet 54, an upper air port 55 and a lower air port 56. The upper and lower ends of the hollow tube 51 are respectively provided with an upper air port 55 and a lower air port 56. The hollow tube 51 is provided with a piston body 53 that matches it, and the piston body 53 is provided with a magnet 54.

[0022] The hollow tube 51 passes through the bottom of all flexible containing pockets 3 . The bottom of each flexible containing pocket 3 is provided with a sliding sleeve 17 that is slidably mounted on the hollow tube 51 . The sliding sleeve 17 is provided with an attracted object 11 attracted by a magnet 54 .

[0023] The upper air port 55 and the lower air port 56 both extend out of the tank body 1 and are connected to the input ends of the upper three-way valve 12 and the lower three-way valve 13 respectively. One output end of the upper three-way valve 12 and the lower three-way valve 13 are connected to the upper air supply pipe 14 and the lower air supply pipe 15 respectively.

[0024] Proximity switches 57 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the hollow tube 51 .

[0025] The inner diameter of the guide ring 4 gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0026] The hollow tube 51 is provided with two upper and lower cameras 16 for monitoring the amount of capsules in the uppermost and lowermost flexible containing pockets 3 respectively.

[0027] Working process of the present invention: During the working process of the hollow capsule sterilizing device of the present invention, the PLC controller controls the adjustment of the upper three-way valve 12 and the lower three-way valve 13, so that the upper air port 55 is connected to the other output end of the upper three-way valve 12, and the lower air port 56 is connected to the lower air supply pipe 15. The compressed gas output by the lower air supply pipe 15 enters the hollow tube 51 below the piston body 53 through the lower three-way valve 13 and the lower air port 56 in sequence, and then pushes the piston body 53 to move upward. When the piston body 53 drives the magnet 54 to enter the first sliding sleeve 17 from bottom to top, the magnet 54 attracts the attracted body 11 and drives the first sliding sleeve 17 to move upward together. The first sliding sleeve 17 drives the corresponding soft The bottom of the flexible holding pocket 3 moves upward to vacate the capsules therein, and the vacated capsules enter the lower end of the tank body 1 through the corresponding gap 8, and are then discharged through the discharge port 7. When the first sliding sleeve 17 is pulled by the corresponding flexible holding pocket 3 and cannot continue to move with the magnet 54, the magnet 54 continues to move and separates from the first sliding sleeve 17. At this time, the first sliding sleeve 17 slides down along the hollow tube 51 under the action of its own weight, causing the corresponding flexible holding pocket 3 to return to the state of holding capsules. When the piston body 53 drives the magnet 54 to enter the second sliding sleeve 17, the magnet 54 attracts the attracted body 11 and drives the second sliding sleeve 17 to move upward together, and the second sliding sleeve 17 carries The bottom of the corresponding flexible containing pocket 3 is driven to move upward to release the capsule inside, and the capsule enters the adjacent guide ring 4 below through the corresponding gap 8, and then falls into the first sliding sleeve 17 (when the capsule is released from the upper flexible containing pocket 3 and falls into the adjacent lower flexible containing pocket 3, the capsule is also effectively turned over and its position changed). During the upward movement of the piston body 53, the flexible containing pocket 3 is driven to release the capsule operation in turn. The compressed air in the tank body 1 above the piston body 53 is discharged in turn through the upper air port 55 and the other output end of the upper three-way valve 12. When the upper proximity switch 57 senses the piston body 53, the upper proximity switch 57 sends a signal To the PLC controller, the PLC controller controls the upper three-way valve 12 and the lower three-way valve 13 to adjust, so that the upper air port 55 is connected to the upper air supply pipe 14, and the lower air port 56 is connected to the other output end of the lower three-way valve 13 for exhaust. At this time, the compressed air output by the upper air supply pipe 14 passes through the upper three-way valve 12 and the upper air port 55 in sequence and enters the tank body 1 above the piston body 53. The piston body 53 moves downward under the action of the compressed air. When the proximity switch 57 below senses the piston body 53, the proximity switch 57 below sends a signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the upper three-way valve 12 and the lower three-way valve 13 to adjust, so that the piston body 53 moves upward again.

[0028] The output end of the empty capsule shell loader is connected to the feed port 6 to realize adding capsules into the uppermost flexible containing pocket 3. When the upper proximity switch 57 senses the piston body 53, the empty capsule shell loader can be started. When the upper camera 16 observes that the capsules in the uppermost flexible containing pocket 3 exceed the opening of the flexible containing pocket 3, the empty capsule shell loader is stopped.

[0029] The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the present invention. Any solution that is a simple transformation of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
