[0002] In the past, in pharmaceutical production, the filling of empty capsules was still done manually. With the development and maturity of domestic production technology, since the large-scale application of capsule filling machines in China began in the 1980s, the filling technology has gone through several processes: from manually climbing ladders to pour capsules to conveyor belt conveying, from barrel lifting to screw conveyor, and then to pneumatic conveying.

[0003] CN104434529B discloses an empty capsule lifting device, including a feeding box, a feeding adjustment unit, a feeding pipe, a receiving pipe, an air supply unit, a lifting conveying pipe, an unloading unit, and a control unit.

[0013] Preferably, the material feeding guide device is conical in shape, and the top of the material feeding tube has a feeding hole. The inner diameter of the minimum part of the material feeding guide device is the same as the inner diameter of the feeding hole.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding guide device can be connected to the feeding pipe, so that the empty capsule can be guided to the inside of the feeding pipe during the falling process.

[0015] Preferably, the top of the guide transmission tube is provided with a connecting groove, and the feeding tube is connected to the guide transmission tube.

[0016] Preferably, the lifting tube is L-shaped and made of rigid tube material.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rigid tube material makes the riser tube less prone to damage, allowing the riser tube to guide the empty capsule.

[0018] Preferably, a filling machine is provided on the left side of the lifting pipe, and a fixing block is provided on one side of the filling machine, with the lifting pipe being snapped into the inside of the fixing block.

[0021] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided on one side of the guide transmission pipe, and the threaded hole above the connecting flange corresponds to the threaded hole above the guide transmission pipe.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] 1. This utility model, through the provision of an empty capsule conveying assembly, allows capsules to be placed sequentially above a track. The capsules can be separated by an empty capsule separator plate. A motor drives a drive roller to rotate, which in turn works with an auxiliary roller to rotate the track. The track rotates, which in turn rotates the empty capsule separator plate, allowing the empty capsule separator plate to move and transport the capsules. The capsules are then guided by a baffle plate and a discharge guide device and fall into the inner side of the discharge pipe.

[0024] 2. This utility model, through the setting of an empty capsule lifting component, allows the air pump to be started after the empty capsule falls into the feeding pipe. After the empty capsule falls to the inside of the guide transmission pipe, it can be blown by the wind to the inside of the lifting pipe, so that the lifting pipe can lift the empty capsule and discharge it from the top of the lifting pipe into the capsule hopper of the filling machine. The lifting pipe can also be supported by the mounting plate to make the lifting pipe more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0035] In this embodiment, the empty capsule conveying assembly 1 also includes a track 14 and an empty capsule separator 15. The track 14 is tensioned and arranged on the outside of the auxiliary roller 13 and the drive roller 12. The empty capsule separator 15 is fixedly installed around the outside of the track 14. It should be noted that the empty capsule separator 15 has a certain spacing, so that the empty capsules are not easy to fall off during the conveying process. The spacing of the empty capsule separator 15 is the same, so that the falling time of the empty capsules is the same. This allows the device to achieve the effect of conveying empty capsules individually, so that the capsules are not easy to get blocked during the conveying process.

[0036] In this embodiment, the empty capsule lifting assembly 2 includes a fixing plate 6, a feeding pipe 21, a guide transmission pipe 22, an air pump 23, a connecting flange 24, a mounting plate 25, and a lifting pipe 26. The fixing plate 6 is fixedly installed on the left side of the mounting frame 3. The feeding pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding guide device 5. The guide transmission pipe 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding pipe 21. The air pump 23 is fixedly installed at the top of the fixing plate 6. The connecting flange 24 is fixedly installed on the left side of the guide transmission pipe 22. The mounting plate 25 is located on the left side of the mounting frame 3. The lifting pipe 26 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting plate 25. One end of the lifting pipe 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting flange 24. It should be noted that the empty capsule separator plate 15 allows the empty capsules to be fed separately, so that the air pump 23 can only transport and lift individual empty capsules after it is turned on. This allows the air pump 23 to be turned on for a long time without the need for a solenoid valve or periodic shutdown, thus extending the service life of the air pump 23.

[0037] In this embodiment, a conveying groove is provided on the top of the mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 is triangular in shape. The width of the track 14 is the same as the width of the conveying groove. It should be noted that the conveying groove makes it easier to prevent the empty capsules above the track 14 from falling off, so that the track 14 can carry the empty capsules to the top of the unloading guide device 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, the feeding guide device 5 is conical in shape, and the top of the feeding tube 21 is provided with a feeding hole. The inner diameter of the smallest part of the feeding guide device 5 is the same as the inner diameter of the feeding hole. It should be noted that this allows the empty capsule to be guided to the inside of the feeding tube 21 during the falling process, so that the device can transport without the need for staff assistance.

[0039] In this embodiment, a connecting groove is provided at the top of the guide transmission tube 22, and the feed tube 21 is connected to the guide transmission tube 22. In this embodiment, the lifting tube 26 is L-shaped and made of rigid tube material. It should be noted that the rigid tube material makes the lifting tube 26 less prone to damage, allowing the lifting tube 26 to guide the empty capsule.

[0040] In this embodiment, a filling machine is provided on the left side of the lifting pipe 26, and a fixing block is provided on one side of the filling machine. The lifting pipe 26 is snapped into the inner side of the fixing block. It should be noted that...

[0041] In this embodiment, the spacing of the empty capsule partition plates 15 is the same, and the empty capsule partition plates 15 do not abut against the mounting bracket 3. In this embodiment, a threaded hole is opened on one side of the guide transmission pipe 22, and the threaded hole on the upper part of the connecting flange 24 corresponds to the threaded hole on the upper part of the guide transmission pipe 22. It should be noted that the connecting flange 24 can be fixed above the guide transmission pipe 22, and the lifting pipe 26 can be connected to the guide transmission pipe 22 through the connecting flange 24. After the air pump 23 is turned on, it can transport the empty capsule to the inside of the lifting pipe 26, and the lifting pipe 26 can guide and lift the empty capsule.

[0042] Specifically, the device places capsules sequentially above the track 14, separating them using the empty capsule separator 15. The motor 11 drives the drive roller 12 to rotate, which in turn works with the auxiliary roller 13 to rotate the track 14. This rotation, in turn, drives the empty capsule separator 15, allowing it to move and transport the capsules. The capsules are then guided by the baffle plate 4 and the discharge guide device 5 and fall into the inner side of the discharge pipe 21. Once the empty capsules fall into the discharge pipe 21, the air pump 23 is activated. After falling into the inner side of the guide transmission pipe 22, the capsules are blown by air to the inner side of the lifting pipe 26. The lifting pipe 26 then lifts the capsules, discharging them from above and into the capsule hopper of the filling machine. The lifting pipe 26 is supported by the mounting plate 25 for stability.
