Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of capsule sorting equipment, in particular to a capsule pre-selection discharging machine. Background Art

[0002] Capsules are a type of pharmaceutical dosage form, typically hollow capsules made of biodegradable materials. They can be filled with powders, liquids, or colloids. To ensure quality, capsules filled with medications must be pre-sorted using a capsule sorter to remove empty capsules.

[0003] However, during use, the current capsule sorting machine requires people to manually pull the baffle upwards to discharge the empty capsules from the outlet on the sorting shell, thereby reducing the convenience of the capsule sorting machine in discharging unqualified capsules. In addition, since the outlet on the sorting shell (empty capsule outlet) is located directly above the qualified capsule hopper, and there is a lack of an effective material guiding structure at the outlet on the sorting shell, qualified capsules and unqualified capsules cannot be discharged at the same time, thereby reducing capsule production efficiency. In addition, during the process of conveying capsules in the feed hopper on the current capsule sorting machine, capsules are prone to stay inside the feed hopper. At this time, manual assistance is required to push the stayed capsules forward, which causes trouble to the staff. Utility Model Content

[0030] A transparent plate 106 is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the sorting shell 105, and a material blocking top plate 108 is fixedly installed on the top of the empty capsule discharge hopper 107, and the material blocking top plate 108 is located at the bottom of the transparent plate 106; a material guide inclined plate 109 is provided on the lower side of the interior of the sorting shell 105 for guiding the empty capsules.

[0031] The material blocking mechanism 2 includes a U-shaped mounting frame 201, an electric push rod 202 and an L-shaped material blocking plate 203. The U-shaped mounting frame 201 is fixedly mounted on the upper front end surface of the empty capsule discharge hopper 107, and the electric push rod 202 is mounted on the front end surface of the U-shaped mounting frame 201; the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 202 passes through the front side wall of the U-shaped mounting frame 201, and the rear end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 202 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped material blocking plate 203, and the rear end of the L-shaped material blocking plate 203 passes through the strip opening opened on the front end surface of the empty capsule discharge hopper 107; through the setting of the material blocking mechanism 2, it is used to block the empty capsules entering the upper end of the empty capsule discharge hopper 107.

[0032] Example 2, based on Example 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the reciprocating pushing mechanism 4 includes a pushing motor 401 and a cam 402. The pushing motor 401 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the rear end surface of the capsule sorting machine body 1, and the cam 402 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the pushing motor 401, and the cam 402 is located at the bottom of the wear-resistant thickened plate 302; when the protrusion of the cam 402 rotates to an upward state, the protrusion of the cam 402 is in close contact with the bottom end surface of the wear-resistant thickened plate 302, and at this time the rear end of the feed hopper 3 rotates upward.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the capsule is first put into the feed hopper 3, and the capsule is conveyed forward under the action of the inclined surface inside the feed hopper 3, so that the capsule enters the capsule sorting machine body 1, and the empty capsule is sorted into the sorting shell 105 by the capsule sorting machine body 1, and the qualified capsule is discharged from the qualified capsule discharge hopper 103, and then the empty capsule enters the sorting shell 105 and falls onto the guide inclined plate 109 under the action of gravity, and then is guided to the upper end of the empty capsule discharge hopper 107 under the inclination of the guide inclined plate 109, and at this time the empty capsule is located at the upper rear end of the L-shaped baffle plate 203;
