[0002] Capsules are used to contain powders or granules that are irritating to the esophagus and gastric mucosa, or have a bad taste, are easily volatile, are easily decomposed by saliva in the mouth, or are easily inhaled into the trachea. They can effectively mask the unpleasant taste and odor of the contents, solving the problem of difficulty in swallowing and poor taste for users. Enteric-coated hollow capsules are made of gelatin and enteric-coated materials and are mainly used to contain drugs that are easily destroyed in the stomach.

[0003] Gelatin hollow capsules are composed of a cap and a body made of medicinal gelatin and excipients. They are mainly used to contain solid and liquid medicines, solving the problem of difficult entry and poor taste for patients, so that patients no longer have to take bitter medicines. The hollow capsules have a slender shape, which is easy to swallow. The capsules can effectively mask the unpleasant taste and odor of the contents, making them an excellent capsule for containing solids and liquids.

[0004] The hollow gelatin capsule is assembled with two capsule caps, one of which is large and the other is small. The large capsule cap is provided with a buckle. When installing the capsule, the patient inserts the small capsule cap into the interior of the large capsule cap and mounts the two capsule caps together through the buckle. However, it is inconvenient to disassemble the buckle after it is stuck. When the hollow gelatin capsule is in use, the hollow capsule cannot be rotated to release it. When the patient needs to orally take the medicine powder inside the capsule, the patient can only destroy the capsule shell to extract the medicine powder, which makes the use of the hollow gelatin capsule extremely inconvenient and reduces the practicality of the hollow gelatin capsule.

The terms "first" and "second" are used solely to distinguish technical features and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or as implicitly specifying the number or order of the technical features indicated.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a gelatin hollow capsule, comprising a first capsule cap 1, a second capsule cap 2 and a fixing device, the second capsule cap 2 is slidably installed inside the first capsule cap 1, the fixing device comprises four fixing blocks 3, a gelatin sealing ring 4 and four positioning blocks 5, the four fixing blocks 3 are circularly and equidistantly fixedly connected to the surface of the second capsule cap 2, the gelatin sealing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first capsule cap 1, the four positioning blocks 5 are circularly and equidistantly fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first capsule cap 1, the surfaces of the four positioning blocks 5 are respectively provided with positioning slots 6, the four fixing blocks 3 are respectively slidably connected to the inside of the four positioning slots 6, the surfaces of the four positioning blocks 5 are respectively provided with two extrusion inclined surfaces 7, the extrusion inclined surfaces 7 are in contact with the surface of the fixing blocks 3, and the surface of the second capsule cap 2 is circularly and equidistantly provided with protrusions 8.

[0025] When the patient installs the hollow capsule, he only needs to take out the second capsule cap 2 and slide it into the interior of the first capsule cap 1. The left end of the second capsule cap 2 slides to the left and squeezes on the inner surface of the gelatin sealing ring 4. At this time, the connection position between the first capsule cap 1 and the second capsule cap 2 can be sealed by the gelatin sealing ring 4, thereby ensuring the sealing of the gelatin hollow capsule. After the patient slides the second capsule cap 2 to the left and drives the four fixed blocks 3 to move to the left and contact the surface of the gelatin sealing ring 4, the patient pinches the surface of the second capsule cap 2 with two fingers. At this time, the protrusion 8 contacts the patient's fingers to increase the contact area, thereby increasing the contact between the fingers and the second The friction between the capsule caps 2, finally, the patient rotates the second capsule cap 2 with his fingers, and the rotation of the second capsule cap 2 can drive the four fixed blocks 3 to rotate at the same time and squeeze the extrusion slope 7 on the surface of the positioning block 5. At this time, an extrusion effect is generated between the fixed block 3 and the extrusion slope 7 and slides to the left to squeeze the surface of the gelatin sealing ring 4 to deform it. When the fixed block 3 rotates to the position of the positioning slot 6, the gelatin sealing ring 4 can restore its own elastic force and push the four fixed blocks 3 to slide in the opposite direction and get into the inside of the positioning slot 6. At this time, the first capsule cap 1 and the second capsule cap 2 can be fixed together by the clamping action of the four fixed blocks 3 and the four positioning slots 6.

[0026] When the patient needs to disassemble the gelatin hollow capsule, the patient also pinches the second capsule cap 2 with his fingers and slides it to the left, driving the four fixed blocks 3 to slide to the left to squeeze the gelatin sealing ring 4. At this time, the four fixed blocks 3 move and slide out of the four positioning slots 6. Then, the patient rotates the second capsule cap 2 and drives the four fixed blocks 3 to rotate to the position between the two adjacent positioning blocks 5. Finally, the patient slides the second capsule cap 2 to the right and drives the fixed blocks 3 to move out of the interior of the first capsule cap 1 to complete the disassembly. When the patient needs to take the powder inside the capsule orally, the hollow capsule can be rotated to release it, and the powder can be extracted without destroying the capsule shell, making the use of the gelatin hollow capsule more convenient and improving the practicality of the gelatin hollow capsule.

[0027] A reinforcing support frame 9 is fixedly connected to the interior of the second capsule cap 2 , and the reinforcing support frame 9 is located at the position of the protrusion 8 .

[0028] When the patient pinches the second capsule cap 2 with his fingers and rotates it, the reinforcing support frame 9 can support the inside of the second capsule cap 2 to prevent the patient from squeezing the second capsule cap 2 flat, ensuring that the patient can smoothly rotate the second capsule cap 2 for disassembly.

[0029] Working principle: For the hollow gelatin capsule, the patient only needs to take out the second capsule cap 2 and slide it into the interior of the first capsule cap 1. The left end of the second capsule cap 2 slides to the left and squeezes on the inner surface of the gelatin sealing ring 4. At this time, the connection position between the first capsule cap 1 and the second capsule cap 2 can be sealed by the gelatin sealing ring 4, thereby ensuring the sealing of the hollow gelatin capsule. The patient slides the second capsule cap 2 to the left and drives the four fixed blocks 3 to move to the left and contact the surface of the gelatin sealing ring 4. The patient then pinches the surface of the second capsule cap 2 with two fingers. The patient rotates the second capsule cap 2 with his fingers. The rotation of the second capsule cap 2 can drive the four fixed blocks 3 to rotate simultaneously and squeeze the extrusion slope 7 on the surface of the positioning block 5. At this time, a pressure is generated between the fixed blocks 3 and the extrusion slope 7. The patient then squeezes the second capsule cap 2 and slides it to the left, driving the four fixed blocks 3 to slide to the left to squeeze the gelatin sealing ring 4. At this time, the four fixed blocks 3 move and slide out of the four positioning slots 6. Then, the patient rotates the second capsule cap 2 and drives the four fixed blocks 3 to rotate to the position between the two adjacent positioning blocks 5. Finally, the patient slides the second capsule cap 2 to the right and drives the fixed blocks 3 to move out of the interior of the first capsule cap 1 to complete the disassembly.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
