Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of capsule production, in particular to a defoaming device for soft capsule production. Background Art

[0002] The hollow capsule is composed of a cap and a body made of medicinal gelatin and excipients. It is mainly used to hold solid and liquid drugs. Such as homemade powders, health products, medicines, etc., which solves the problem of difficult entry and poor taste for users. Hollow capsules are mainly made of gelatin, and gelatin is a product obtained by moderate hydrolysis and thermal denaturation of collagen. The raw materials for producing capsule shell gelatin are mainly animal skins, bones, etc. The common gelatin on the market is mostly made of cowhide, cow bones or pig skin as raw materials. Some manufacturers have also begun to turn to fish skin, fish scales and chicken skin as raw materials to prepare gelatin; before making hollow capsules, the gelatin needs to be dissolved, and then the dissolved glue liquid is transported to the glue dipping tank. The mold of the capsule shell enters the glue dipping tank for glue dipping, and after the glue dipping work is completed, it is transferred to the next process.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a glue defoaming device for capsule production (authorization announcement number CN 219502030U). This patented technology can solve the problem that the glue after sol is transferred to the glue dipping tank, and there will be a large number of bubbles in the glue. Directly immersing the capsule shell mold in the glue will cause some bubble holes to appear on the formed hollow capsule, and the capsule surface will have a bumpy feeling, reducing product quality problems.

[0004] However, the liquid level of the existing capsule liquid continues to drop during use, and the degassing clappers are mostly fixed structures, which makes it impossible to accurately degas the capsule liquid surface. In addition, the capsule liquid in the cylinder is usually observed with the help of external transparent glass. When the liquid level is high, it is impossible to conduct a comprehensive observation. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The invention of the present invention is given for the purpose of illustration and description, and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed form. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The invention is selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and design various inventions with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 5 In the present embodiment, a defoaming device for soft capsule production is provided, which includes a base 1 and a fixed cavity 2. The upper end surface of the base 1 is provided with the fixed cavity 2. A fixed column 11 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the fixed cavity 2 through a bearing. The interior of the fixed column 11 is a hollow structure. An adjusting screw 12 is provided at the bottom of the fixed column 11. An adjusting slider is screwed to the outer wall of the adjusting screw 12. An adjusting plate 13 is symmetrically screwed to the outer wall of the adjusting slider. An adjusting motor 14 is provided at the bottom of the adjusting screw 12. An adjusting gear 15 is provided on the upper end surface of the adjusting screw 12. A driving gear 16 is meshed and rotatably provided on the outer wall of the adjusting gear 15. The driving gear 16 is meshed and rotatably provided on the outer wall of the adjusting gear 15. 6 is an incomplete gear structure. An active motor 17 is installed on the upper end surface of the active gear 16. When working, the fixed cavity 2 is filled with capsule liquid. Bubbles are easily present at the surface of the capsule liquid, resulting in an uneven surface of the produced capsule, which affects its appearance. The fixed motor is started to drive the fixed column 11 to rotate, and the adjusting plate 13 is rotated to remove the bubbles on the surface of the capsule liquid. When the capsule liquid is used, the liquid level continues to decrease. At this time, the active motor 17 is started to drive the active gear 16 to rotate. The active gear 16 drives the adjusting screw 12 to rotate intermittently, so that the adjusting plate 13 moves down intermittently, ensuring that the adjusting plate 13 is arranged at the surface of the capsule liquid, thereby ensuring the bubble removal effect.

[0022] A plurality of stirring rods 18 are installed from top to bottom on the outer side wall of the fixed column 11. When the fixed column 11 rotates during operation, the stirring rods 18 are driven to rotate, thereby ensuring that the capsule liquid is mixed evenly. At the same time, the bottom of the capsule liquid vibrates to effectively reduce the generation of bubbles.

[0023] The top of the fixed cavity 2 is symmetrically provided with placement grooves, a camera 19 is installed on the top of the placement groove, a display screen 21 is installed on the front end face of the base 1, and the display screen 21 is electrically connected to the camera 19. When working, the camera 19 can take pictures of the surface of the capsule liquid and display it on the display screen 21, so that the staff can observe the bubbles on the surface of the capsule liquid.

[0024] A cover plate 22 is installed at the bottom of the placement groove, and a connecting frame is installed at the outer end of the cover plate 22. The connecting frame is connected to the outer wall of the fixed cavity 2 by sliding fit. A ring sleeve is installed on the left and right end faces of the upper end face of the fixed cavity 2. A sleeve is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the ring sleeve through a bearing. A screw 23 is symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the sleeve through threaded rotation. The other end of the screw 23 is connected to the connecting frame. When working, the cover plate 22 structure is used to prevent the capsule liquid from being stirred and splashing onto the lens of the camera 19 when the capsule liquid level is high, affecting the shooting effect. When shooting is required, the sleeve is rotated to drive the screw 23 to move to the outer end, so that the cover plate 22 moves and the camera 19 is opened.

[0025] A fixing groove is provided at the bottom of the adjusting plate 13, an adjusting spring is installed at the top of the fixing groove, and a bottom plate 24 is installed at the bottom of the adjusting spring. During operation, when the adjusting plate 13 rotates, the adjusting spring drives the bottom plate 24 to shake up and down, further enhancing the bubble removal effect at the capsule liquid surface.

[0026] The outer wall of the fixed cavity 2 is installed with transparent glass 25, and the upper end surface of the fixed cavity 2 is installed with a feed port. During operation, when the camera 19 is damaged, the staff can roughly observe the internal capsule liquid bubble situation through the transparent glass 25 to avoid failure to perform normal work.

[0027] During specific operation, the fixed cavity 2 is filled with capsule liquid, and bubbles are easily present at the surface of the capsule liquid, resulting in an uneven surface of the produced capsules, which affects their appearance. The fixed motor is started to drive the fixed column 11 to rotate, and the adjusting plate 13 is rotated to remove the bubbles on the surface of the capsule liquid. When the capsule liquid is used, the liquid level continues to decrease. At this time, the active motor 17 is started to drive the active gear 16 to rotate, and the active gear 16 drives the adjusting screw 12 to rotate intermittently, so that the adjusting plate 13 moves down intermittently, ensuring that the adjusting plate 13 is arranged at the surface of the capsule liquid, thereby ensuring the bubble removal effect.

[0028] Obviously, the invention described is only a part of the invention of the utility model, not the whole invention. Based on the invention in the utility model, all other inventions obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the utility model shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
