Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of soft capsule molds, and particularly to a multi-chamber soft capsule mold. Background Art
[0002] The rotary die soft capsule forming machine is the main equipment for preparing soft capsules. Its forming device includes a first mold and a second mold arranged on the left and right respectively. A number of soft capsule grooves are evenly arranged circumferentially on the first mold and the second mold. Two grooves enclose to form a complete soft capsule. An injection gun is arranged above the two molds. The first mold and the second mold each correspond to a piece of rubber sheet. After the rubber sheet is softened, it passes through the gap between the first mold and the second mold. The injection gun injects liquid between the two rubber sheets, causing the rubber sheets to expand. The two rubber sheets enclose to form a containing cavity for containing liquid. When the grooves between the first mold and the second mold are buckled, the first mold and the second mold squeeze the two rubber sheets and cut the soft capsule from the rubber sheet. Finally, the soft capsule drops to form a finished soft capsule.
[0003] Currently, a soft capsule production mold announced in the Chinese patent with the publication number CN219251013U includes a bottom plate, a first mold and a second mold. A driving mechanism is arranged on the upper side of the bottom plate. The driving mechanism is used to drive the first mold and the second mold to rotate in opposite directions at the same time, and the driving mechanism can adjust the distance between the first mold and the second mold. A plurality of grooves are arranged on the surfaces of the first mold and the second mold. A sliding hole is opened in the groove, and a ejector rod is slidably arranged in the sliding hole. One end of the ejector rod is flush with the inner wall of the groove, and an arc-shaped cap is fixed at the other end of the ejector rod. The beneficial effect is that: the driving mechanism drives the first mold and the second mold to approach each other, so that the first mold and the second mold squeeze the gelatin for making soft capsules. When the soft rubber particles rotate to the bottom of the first mold and the second mold, if the soft rubber particles have not fallen automatically, the ejector rod and the arc-shaped cap will be pushed by the arc-shaped plate, causing the ejector rod to move and push the soft rubber particles out of the groove, thus avoiding the problem that the soft capsule gets stuck on the mold.
[0004] In actual use, it is found that when soft capsules of different shapes and sizes need to be produced, the mold needs to be replaced. The existing equipment cannot replace the mold conveniently, resulting in time-consuming and laborious replacement work, which in turn affects the work efficiency.
