Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of capsule production, in particular to a novel temperature-controllable capsule forming machine. Background Art

[0002] Medical capsules are packaging containers for powdered medicines and are required to be made of food-grade rubber. Existing medical capsules generally consist of a hollow capsule body and a cap. A search has revealed a fully automatic capsule forming machine (Publication No. CN219700532U). In this patent, when a heating plate is energized, the gas inside the forming upper seat and the forming head is heated, thereby enabling the capsule skin to be quickly formed.

[0003] Since the general control range of the capsule production process temperature is generally 15℃~25℃, if the temperature is too low, the capsule shell will become fragile and easily cracked; if the temperature is too high, the capsule shell will become soft and easily deformed. However, the above technical solution cannot control the temperature of the gas inside the molding seat and the molding head;

[0004] After the two molding lower seats are replaced, they are located at the two ends of the frame. One worker is required to move the two ends to change the materials, or two workers are required to change the materials at the two ends, which easily leads to problems of high labor intensity or high labor costs. For this reason, we proposed a new temperature-controllable capsule forming machine. Utility Model Content

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] The utility model provides a new temperature-controllable capsule forming machine. Compared with the existing technology, it has the following advantages:

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a new temperature-controllable capsule forming machine technical solution: a new temperature-controllable capsule forming machine, comprising a base plate 1, a support frame 2 and a rotating assembly 5 are installed on the top of the base plate 1, a forming cylinder 3 is installed on the front end of the support frame 2, a forming assembly 4 is installed on the telescopic end of the forming cylinder 3, the edge of the rotating assembly 5 is circular and multiple groups of fixed assemblies 6 are installed at equal intervals, and the forming assembly 4 is located directly above a group of fixed assemblies 6.

[0025] It should be noted that the positions of multiple groups of fixed components 6 are alternately replaced by the rotating component 5, so that the bag skin is fixed on the fixed component 6 in turn. When the fixed component 6 moves to the bottom of the forming component 4, the forming cylinder 3 drives the forming component 4 to move downward, and then completes the bag body processing and forming of the bag skin on the fixed component 6. When the formed bag body moves to the loading position, the bag body can be removed and the bag skin can be placed.

[0026] See also Figure 2-3 The molding component 4 includes a mounting plate 41, and multiple sets of molding heads 42 are arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 41. A chamber 43 is opened inside the mounting plate 41 and the multiple sets of molding heads 42. A heating plate 44 is installed on the top of the chamber 43. A temperature sensor 45 and a temperature controller 46 are installed on the outside of the mounting plate 41, and the detection end of the temperature sensor 45 extends to the interior of the chamber 43. The temperature controller 46 is respectively connected to the temperature sensor 45 and the heating plate 44. The temperature sensor 45 is used to monitor the internal temperature of the chamber 43 in real time, and the temperature controller 46 is used to control the working temperature of the heating plate 44.

[0027] It should be noted that by presetting the temperature value in the chamber 43, the temperature sensor 45 monitors the internal temperature of the chamber 43 in real time. When the temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the thermostat 46 controls the heating plate 44 to work. When the temperature reaches the preset temperature, the thermostat 46 controls the heating plate 44 to turn off, thereby achieving temperature control.

[0028] See also Figure 4 The rotating assembly 5 includes a stepping motor 51 , a turntable 52 is mounted on the output end of the stepping motor 51 , and a plurality of mounting slots 53 are formed on the edge of the turntable 52 .

[0029] It should be noted that the stepping motor 51 drives the turntable 52 to rotate at intervals, thereby alternately changing the positions of the multiple groups of fixing components 6 .

[0030] See also Figure 5 The fixing component 6 includes a placing table 61, and a plurality of forming holes 62 are opened on the top of the placing table 61. Brackets 63 are installed at both ends of the placing table 61. The bottom of each group of brackets 63 is slidably connected to a pressure plate 64. A pressing cylinder 65 is installed on the top of each group of brackets 63. The telescopic end of each group of pressing cylinders 65 is connected to the top of each group of pressure plates 64. Multiple groups of placing tables 61 are respectively installed inside multiple groups of mounting grooves 53, and the positions of the multiple groups of forming holes 62 and the multiple groups of forming heads 42 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0031] It should be noted that by placing the bag skin on the placement table 61, the pressing cylinder 65 extends and drives the pressure plate 64 to press and fix the two ends of the bag skin, thereby fixing the bag skin, and the pressing cylinder 65 contracts and drives the pressure plate 64 to move upward to release the fixation of the bag skin, so that it can be removed.

[0032] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, the temperature value in the chamber 43 is first preset, and then the temperature sensor 45 monitors the temperature inside the chamber 43 in real time. When the temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the thermostat 46 controls the heating plate 44 to work, and when the temperature reaches the preset temperature, the thermostat 46 controls the heating plate 44 to shut down.

[0033] The capsule skin is placed on the placement table 61, and the cylinder 65 is pressed to extend and drive the pressing plate 64 to press and fix the two ends of the capsule skin. The stepping motor 51 drives the turntable 52 to rotate at intervals, thereby alternately changing the positions of the multiple groups of fixing components 6, so that the capsule skin is fixed on the fixing components 6 in sequence. When the fixing components 6 move to the bottom of the forming component 4;

[0034] The forming cylinder 3 drives the forming assembly 4 to move downward, and the multiple forming heads 42 are inserted into the multiple forming holes 62, thereby completing the capsule body processing and molding of the upper capsule skin of the fixing assembly 6;

[0035] When the formed capsule moves to the loading position, the pressing cylinder 65 contracts and drives the pressing plate 64 to move upward to release the fixation of the capsule skin, remove the capsule and place the capsule skin.
