Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical machinery, and particularly relates to a capsule filling machine. Background Art

[0002] Hard capsules are a dosage form made by filling an appropriate amount of medicinal material extracts, medicinal material extracts plus medicinal powders or excipients into uniform powder or granules, and then filling them into hard capsule shells.

[0003] The primary function of this hard capsule filling machine is to automatically fill hard capsules with drug powder. Using intermittent motion and a multi-station plug metering system, it automatically completes the filling process, including turning, separating, filling, rejecting, closing, and ejecting finished capsules. Parts that come into contact with the drug powder are non-reactive, complying with GMP standards. All moving parts minimize wear and provide ergonomic design.

[0004] During capsule filling, damaged empty capsules from mechanical transmission should be promptly removed, and uncontaminated, reusable, and defective capsules should be collected and recycled. Filled capsules are inspected and, after passing the filling quantity (content) test, sent to a cleaning room for polishing and dust removal. Only after polishing and cleaning are complete can the finished capsules be packaged.

[0005] In the prior art, no temporary storage device is provided at the bottom of the capsule filling machine. During actual use, the filled capsules are discharged through the discharge port on the surface of the capsule filling machine and directly fall into the collection box located below. However, when the collection box is full of capsules, the operator needs to replace it. If the collection box is directly replaced, the capsule filling machine will continue to produce and discharge capsules during this period, and the capsules may fall to the ground and be contaminated. If the capsule filling machine is temporarily shut down, the processing efficiency will be affected, which has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Example 1

[0027] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a capsule filling machine, comprising:

[0028] A capsule filling machine body 1, a mounting structure 2 mounted on the surface of the capsule filling machine body 1, and a collection cabinet 3 slidably connected to the surface of the capsule filling machine body 1 via the mounting structure 2;

[0029] The guide plate 6 is fixedly connected to the interior of the collection cabinet 3;

[0030] The closing structure 4 is installed inside the collection cabinet 3;

[0031] The adjusting structure 5 is mounted on the surface of the capsule filling machine body 1 and the closing structure 4;

[0032] The closing structure 4 includes a rotating shaft 401. Two rotating shafts 401 are rotatably connected inside the collection cabinet 3. A closing plate 402 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 401. The two closing plates 402 are tightly fitted to the collection cabinet 3. The adjustment structure 5 drives the two rotating shafts 401 to drive the two closing plates 402 to rotate.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 3, the mounting structure 2 includes a mounting plate 201. Two mounting plates 201 are fixedly connected to the surface of the capsule filling machine body 1. The two mounting plates 201 are fixedly connected to the same connecting rod 202. The collection cabinet 3 is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting rod 202. By setting the mounting plates 201 and the connecting rod 202, the collection cabinet 3 is limited in position with the cooperation of the mounting plates 201 and the connecting rod 202, so that the collection cabinet 3 is more stable when moving on the surface of the capsule filling machine body 1, thereby ensuring the safety of the device.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the adjustment structure 5 includes a toothed plate 501, a first gear 502 and a rotating shaft 503. The toothed plate 501 is fixedly connected to the capsule filling machine body 1, and the first gear 502 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 401. The two first gears 502 are meshed with each other. The rotating shaft 503 is rotatably connected to the capsule filling machine body 1, and the second gear 504 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 503. The second gear 504 is meshed with the toothed plate 501, and the second gear 504 is meshed with one of the first gears 502 located at the bottom. The diameter of the second gear 504 is smaller than the diameter of the first gear 502. The cross-sectional shape of the toothed plate 501 is set to be "L"-shaped. By setting the diameter of the second gear 504 to be smaller than the diameter of the first gear 502, when the toothed plate 501 drives the two first gears 502 to rotate through the second gear 504, the volume of the second gear 504 and the first gear 502 can be reduced, so that they are protected by the protective cover 7.

[0035] See Figure 1-3 When the operator has finished filling the capsules using the device, the processed capsules pass through the discharge port and enter the collection box placed on the ground. When the collection box is full and needs to be replaced, the operator directly pushes the collection cabinet 3 so that the collection cabinet 3 is close to the discharge port of the capsule filling machine body 1. When the collection cabinet 3 moves, the gear plate 501 adjusts the two first gears 502 through the rotating shaft 503, so that the two first gears 502 drive the two closing plates 402 to rotate through the two rotating shafts 401. When the two closing plates 402 are tightly fitted with the collection cabinet 3, the bottom end of the collection cabinet 3 is closed, so that the collection cabinet 3 can temporarily store the capsules continuously produced by the capsule filling machine body 1.

[0036] When the operator has finished replacing the collection box, he directly pulls the collection cabinet 3 to move away from the baffle 8. Under the action of the tooth plate 501, the first gear 502 drives the two first gears 502 to rotate in the opposite direction. The two first gears 502 drive the two closing plates 402 to rotate in the opposite direction through the two rotating shafts 401, so that the two closing plates 402 at the bottom of the collection cabinet 3 rotate open, so that the capsules stored in the collection cabinet 3 can be directly collected into the collection box below.
