Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of soft capsule machines, in particular to a stroke control structure of a hybrid soft capsule machine. Background Art
[0002] A soft capsule machine is a device used to encapsulate solid, powder or liquid substances in capsules. During the preparation of soft capsules, the filling material needs to be added to gelatin through a hopper and a stroke control structure, and finally soft capsules are formed. The design of soft capsules allows the raw materials to be packaged in the form of liquid, gel or semi-solid, which helps to improve the bioavailability and absorption rate of the raw materials.
[0003] However, when the stroke control structure of a traditional hybrid soft capsule machine is in use, the stroke control structure for controlling the injection of the raw material filling is mostly controlled mechanically, with poor automation and unable to timely monitor the remaining amount of the filling in the hopper, resulting in the phenomenon of encapsulating empty capsules easily occurring when the remaining amount of the raw material filling is insufficient, which affects the quality of the whole batch of soft capsule products.

A controller is arranged on the outer wall of one side of the installation box. A weighing device is arranged at the bottom of the hopper. An injection device is arranged inside the installation box. A conduit is arranged on the outer wall of one side of the hopper. The outlet end of the injection device is connected to the conduit. The top of the injection device communicates with the hopper. An injection box is installed on the outer wall of one side of the side bracket. The injection box is communicated with the conduit; a forming mechanism: the forming mechanism is arranged on the installation frame.
[0007] In this solution, the injection device inside the installation box is directly controlled by the provided controller, while the weighing device at the bottom of the hopper can cooperate with the amount of remaining material in the weighing hopper, and then feed the weighing data back to the controller.

[0017] A stroke control structure of a hybrid soft capsule machine disclosed by the present utility model is mainly applied to the scenario where when the stroke control structure of a traditional hybrid soft capsule machine is in use, the stroke control structure for controlling the injection of raw material fillers is mostly controlled mechanically, with poor automation, and it is impossible to timely monitor the remaining amount of fillers in the hopper, resulting in the phenomenon of encapsulating empty capsules when the remaining amount of raw material fillers is insufficient, affecting the quality of the whole batch of soft capsule products.
[0018] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3, A stroke control structure of a hybrid soft capsule machine, including a base plate 1 and a side bracket 2 installed on the outer wall of one side of the base plate 1. An installation frame 5 and a hopper 3 are installed on the outer wall of one side of the side bracket 2. It further includes: Injection mechanism: The injection mechanism includes an installation box 6 arranged on the outer wall of one side of the hopper 3. A controller 9 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the installation box 6. A weighing device is provided at the bottom of the hopper 3. An injection device is arranged inside the installation box 6. A conduit 10 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the hopper 3. The outlet end of the injection device is connected to the conduit 10. The top of the injection device communicates with the hopper 3. An injection box 13 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the side bracket 2. The injection box 13 is communicated with the conduit 10;
[0019] Forming mechanism: The forming mechanism is arranged on the installation frame 5.
[0020] Among them, the controller 9 is electrically connected to the injection device.
[0021] In this solution, the injection device inside the installation box 6 is directly controlled by the provided controller 9. The weighing device arranged at the bottom of the hopper 3 can cooperate to weigh the remaining amount in the hopper 3, and then feed the weighing data back to the controller 9. When there is not enough raw material filler, the controller 9 will control the injection device to stop injecting and synchronously control the forming mechanism to stop the capsule forming operation, avoiding the phenomenon of empty capsules when the raw material filler is insufficient.
[0022] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , In a preferred embodiment, the forming mechanism includes two forming rollers 11 arranged on the inner side wall of the installation frame 5. The two forming rollers 11 are kept horizontal and in contact. Forming grooves are arranged at equal distances on the outer wall of the forming rollers 11, and the positions of the forming grooves on the two forming rollers 11 correspond to each other. The injection box 13 is located directly above the position between the two forming rollers 11. Injection holes are arranged at equal distances at the bottom of the injection box 13. The injection holes correspond to the forming grooves. Two transfer frames 7 are arranged on both sides of the top outer wall of the installation frame 5.

The free ends of the two capsule materials 8 pass through the transfer rollers and then penetrate between the two forming rollers 11.
[0023] Specifically, through the provided forming mechanism, the raw material filler injected by the injection mechanism can be combined and wrapped by the opposite rotation of the two forming rollers 11 in cooperation with the wrapping of the capsule material 8, so as to form a soft capsule.

[0025] Specifically, the soft capsules formed and broken off from the capsule shell 8 will fall onto the conveyor belt 14 from the forming groove, and after being conveyed by the conveyor belt 14, they will uniformly fall onto the conveying platform 4 and finally be collected uniformly, with strong automation.
[0026] Working principle: When in use, the raw material filler is added to the hopper 3, and the set controller 9 controls the injection device to inject the raw material filler from the hopper 3 into the conduit 10, and finally injects it into the forming grooves on the two oppositely rotating forming rollers 11 through the injection box 13. The opposite rotation of the two forming rollers 11 cooperates with the wrapping of the capsule shell 8 to wrap the injected raw material filler together to form a soft capsule. During this process, the two forming rollers 11 squeeze each other, so that while the soft capsule is squeezed into shape, the soft capsule is broken off from the capsule shell 8, then falls onto the conveyor belt 14 from the forming groove, and after being conveyed by the two conveyor belts 14, it falls onto the conveying platform 4 and is finally collected uniformly.
