[0034] When in use, the shell 1 provides support and protection for the utility model, and the support column 2 connects the shell 1 and the storage barrel 3 to ensure the stability of the storage barrel 3. The capsule to be separated is placed in the interior of the storage barrel 3, and the capsule enters the fixed cavity 6 in the discharge block 4. The longitudinal block 5 inside it divides the fixed cavity 6 into multiple parts, so that the capsule is longitudinally partitioned and stored. Then, the cutting component 7 is started to cut the capsule shell; when the cutting component 7 is working, first control the lower block 703 to extend so that the capsule stays on the inner wall of the fixed cavity 6, and then control the upper block 702 to extend to block the top of the capsule, and then control the cutting knife 704 to extend to cut the capsule, and then control the lower block 703 and the support block 705 to retract so that the capsule and the contents fall, and continue to repeat the above steps. After the capsule is cut, it falls into the interior of the shell 1, and the capsule shell fragments can be filtered out through the filter net 8, so that the capsule contents fall into the storage box 10.

[0035] The outer wall of the discharge block 4 is provided with a plurality of slots 401 , and the upper stopper 702 , the lower stopper 703 and the cutting blade 704 are all slidably mounted inside the slots 401 .

[0040] When the slide rod 708 drives the connecting block 701 to move, the spring 709 is compressed or stretched. When the external air source stops supplying air, the elastic force of the spring 709 can reset the connecting block 701, ensuring the repeatable operation of the utility model. At the same time, it can also buffer the movement of the connecting block 701 to a certain extent, thereby extending the service life of the utility model.

[0041] A connecting rod 710 is fixedly connected between the discharge block 4 and the support block 705 . There are multiple connecting rods 710 distributed in a rectangular shape. Both ends of the three connecting blocks 701 are fixedly connected with movable ear plates 711 , which are sleeved on the connecting rods 710 .

[0042] During the movement of the connecting block 701, the movable ear plate 711 slides along the connecting rod 710, guiding and stabilizing the movement of the connecting block 701, preventing it from deflecting or shaking during the movement, thereby improving the cutting accuracy.

[0043] A feed port 101 is provided at the top of the housing 1 , and the interior of the feed port 101 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the discharge block 4 .

[0044] The capsules to be separated are fed into the interior of the utility model through the feed port 101 and fall into the fixed cavity 6 of the discharge block 4 for processing.

[0045] The outer wall of the shell 1 is fixedly connected with a shell outlet 9, and the shell outlet 9 is connected to the discharge end of the filter screen 8.

[0046] The capsule shell fragments after cutting and separation are filtered out through the filter screen 8 and then discharged through the shell outlet 9, thereby preventing the fragments from accumulating inside the utility model and affecting subsequent operations, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the utility model.

[0047] A handle 1001 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage box 10 , and the handle 1001 is located on the outer wall of the shell 1 .

[0048] The separated capsule contents fall into the storage box 10 . When the contents need to be taken out, the storage box 10 can be conveniently pulled out from the inside of the housing 1 through the handle 1001 .

[0049] A support plate 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the shell 1 , a support rod 102 is fixedly connected between the shell 1 and the support plate 103 , and a plurality of support columns 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1 and the support plate 103 .

[0050] The support plate 103 and the support rod 102 together provide support for the present invention to ensure the stability of the present invention and prevent shaking or tilting during operation.

[0051] Universal wheels 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1 , and there are four universal wheels 11 distributed in a rectangular shape.

[0052] The universal wheels 11 facilitate the movement of the utility model.

[0053] Working principle: First, the capsules to be separated are added into the storage barrel 3, and then the capsules enter the fixed cavity 6 in the discharge block 4. The longitudinal block 5 inside it divides the fixed cavity 6 into multiple parts, so that the capsules are longitudinally partitioned and stored.

[0054] Then the air inlet pipe 707 is connected to the external air source, and the gas enters the slide groove 706 inside the support block 705, pushing the slide rod 708 to slide in the slide groove 706, and the slide rod 708 drives the connecting block 701 to move. The upper block 702, the lower block 703 and the cutting knife 704 on the connecting block 701 also slide in the slot 401 into the fixed cavity 6, and the cutting assembly 7 can be started.

[0055] When the cutting assembly 7 is working, it first controls the lower stopper 703 to extend so that the capsule stays on the inner wall of the fixed cavity 6, then controls the upper stopper 702 to extend to block the top of the capsule, and then controls the cutting knife 704 to extend to cut the capsule, and then controls the lower stopper 703 and the support block 705 to retract so that the capsule and its contents fall, and continues to repeat the above steps.

[0056] The cut capsule shells and contents fall into the interior of the outer shell 1 , where the capsule shell fragments are filtered out by the filter 8 and discharged through the shell outlet 9 , while the capsule contents fall into the storage box 10 , which is finally pulled out of the outer shell 1 through the handle 1001 .

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
