[0078] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0079] Example 1

[0080] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and appendix Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a powder filling machine, which mainly includes: a machine body 1, a capsule hopper 2, a capsule feeding device 3, a powder hopper 4, a powder feeding device 5, and a filling device 6. In use, pre-prepared capsule shells are poured into the capsule hopper 2 from the upper side of the machine body 1, and the capsule shells flow into the filling device 6 via the capsule feeding device 3; pre-prepared powder is poured into the powder hopper 4 from the upper side of the machine body 1, and the powder flows into the interior of the capsule shells in the filling device 6 via the powder feeding device 5; then, under the action of the filling device 6, finished capsules are prepared, and finally, the finished capsules are discharged from the finished product outlet 12 on one side of the machine body 1.

[0081] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the structure of the powder filling machine is as follows: Its upper side is a machine body 1, inside which is an installation chamber 11, and on one side of the machine body 1 is a finished product outlet 12; a shell hopper 2 is provided on the machine body 1, with its bottom end located inside the installation chamber 11; and a shell feeding device 3 is provided inside the installation chamber 11, connected to the shell outlet of the shell hopper 2; additionally, a powder hopper 4 is provided on the machine body 1, with its bottom end located inside the installation chamber. The installation chamber 11 is equipped with a powder feeding device 5, which is connected to the powder outlet of the powder hopper 4. Additionally, the installation chamber 11 is equipped with a filling device 6, which is connected to the powder outlet pipe at the bottom of the powder feeding device 5. The filling device 6 is also connected to the capsule shell outlet pipe of the capsule feeding device 3. One side of the filling device 6 is close to the finished product outlet 12. This invention simplifies the structure of the capsule production equipment in the prior art, thereby reducing the production cost of the equipment.

[0082] In a specific application scenario, the mounting chamber 11 inside the body 1 is rectangular; the top of the body 1 has three holes communicating with the mounting chamber 11, which facilitates the installation or setting of components inside the body 1.

[0083] In a specific application scenario, the bottom end of the bladder 2 passes through a hole at the top of the machine body 1, extending into the interior of the mounting chamber 11, and the outer wall of the bladder 2 is connected to the inner wall of the hole. The bladder feeding device 3 connected to the bottom end of the bladder 2 typically includes a feeding fork, with a discharge push rod on the rear side of the feeding fork; a bladder discharge pipe is located on the front side of the feeding fork, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown, the capsule discharge pipe is located at the bottom of the capsule feeding device 3 and is situated above the filling device 6. The number of capsule discharge pipes must correspond to the number of capsules delivered by the selective fork, and the position and number of the discharge rods should also correspond one-to-one with the capsules. In this embodiment, the capsule feeding device 3 is equipped with 11 capsule discharge pipes. Of course, users can make corresponding adjustments according to their needs. In use, the pre-prepared capsules are poured into the capsule hopper 2 from the top. The capsules in the capsule hopper 2 will enter the selective fork of the capsule feeding device one by one vertically. The selective fork moves downward once, delivering 11 capsules. Under the action of the selective fork, the capsule cap is always on the upper side of the capsule. Then, the discharge rod pushes the capsule into the corresponding capsule discharge pipe. Due to the influence of gravity, the capsule slides down the inner wall of the capsule discharge pipe to the filling device 6, thereby achieving the purpose of placing the capsule in the filling device 6.

[0084] In a specific application scenario, the bottom end of the powder hopper 4 passes through a hole at the top of the machine body 1, extending into the interior of the mounting chamber 11, and the outer wall of the powder hopper 4 is connected to the inner wall of the hole. The powder feeding device 5 connected to the bottom end of the powder hopper 4 typically includes a mounting shell. Inside the mounting shell is a distributor, and the bottom end of the distributor has multiple powder discharge holes connected to a powder discharge pipe. The powder discharge pipe passes through the inner wall of the mounting shell and then exits from the bottom end of the powder feeding device 5, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 8As shown; in addition, photoelectric sensors are installed on the outer surface of the powder discharge pipe. It should be noted that the number of powder discharge holes in the distributor should be consistent with the number of powder discharge pipes, and the number of powder discharge pipes should also correspond one-to-one with the number of photoelectric sensors. In this embodiment, 11 powder discharge pipes are provided, and users can make corresponding adjustments according to their own needs. In use, the pre-prepared powder is poured into the top of the powder hopper 4. Due to gravity, the powder will move towards the powder outlet at the bottom of the powder hopper 4. Then, the powder flows into the powder feeding device 5, where a distributor transfers the powder from the powder outlet hole to the powder discharge pipe. The photoelectric sensor on the powder discharge pipe can measure and detect the powder inside. When the powder in a certain powder discharge pipe does not meet the standard, the distributor closes the remaining powder outlet holes. Then, the powder is transferred to the corresponding powder discharge pipe, thus ensuring that the powder content in multiple powder discharge pipes is the same. Finally, the powder in the powder discharge pipe is filled into the shell of the filling device 6, thus achieving the purpose of filling the shell with powder.

[0085] To prevent powder from the powder feeding device 5 from spilling onto the outside of the filling device 6, as shown in the attached... Figure 2As shown, a powder filling auxiliary device 14 is provided on the lower side of the powder feeding device 5. The powder filling auxiliary device 14 mainly includes a first cylinder 141, a powder filling auxiliary mold 143 and a first column 142. In a specific application scenario, the bottom end of the first cylinder 141 in the powder filling auxiliary device 14 is connected to the bottom wall of the installation chamber 11, and the first cylinder 141 is located away from the finished product outlet 12; a powder filling auxiliary mold 143 is provided on the upper side of the first cylinder 141, and the top of the powder filling auxiliary mold 143 is provided with several small holes, which are located below the powder outlet pipe of the powder feeding device 5. The small holes are larger than the powder outlet pipe, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the top of the powder filling auxiliary mold 143; the working end of the first cylinder 141 is connected to the lower end of the first column 142, and the upper end of the first column 142 passes through the through hole opened in the powder filling auxiliary mold 143. The outer wall of the first column 142 is connected to the inner wall of the through hole. In this embodiment, the top of the powder filling auxiliary mold 143 has 11 small holes, and the 11 powder discharge pipes in the powder feeding device 5 pass through these 11 small holes respectively, so that part of the structure of the powder discharge pipe is located inside the small holes; of course, the number of small holes and the number of powder discharge pipes can be adjusted according to the user's needs. In use, the first cylinder 141 begins to retract, moving the first column 142 and the powder filling auxiliary mold 143 downwards. The bottom end of the powder filling auxiliary mold 143 is in close contact with the top end of the filling device 6, and the powder in the powder feeding device 5 is directly injected into the interior of the shell of the filling device 6 through the small holes of the powder filling auxiliary mold 143, thereby avoiding the situation where the powder spills outside the filling device 6.

[0086] To prepare the finished capsules, as shown in the attached document... Figure 2 As shown, a filling device 6 is provided on the lower side of the powder filling auxiliary mold 143. The filling device 6 mainly includes a turntable assembly 61, a cover plate 63, and a control assembly 64. In a specific application scenario, the bottom end of the turntable assembly 61 is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting chamber 11. The turntable assembly 61 includes a turntable located between the finished product outlet 12 and the powder filling auxiliary device 14. (See attached diagram) Figure 4As shown, a first station 651 is provided on the right side of the top of the turntable, and a first filling mold 621 is provided on the first station 651; a second station 652 is provided on the lower side of the top of the turntable, and a second filling mold 622 is provided on the second station 652; a third station 653 is provided on the left side of the top of the turntable, and a third filling mold 623 is provided on the third station 653; a fourth station 654 is provided on the upper side of the top of the turntable. A fourth filling mold 624 is provided on the turntable assembly 61; normally, several retractable ejector rods are provided between the turntable of the turntable assembly 61 and the fourth filling mold 624, and a controller is provided at the bottom end of the ejector rod; the fourth station 654 is close to the finished product outlet 12, and an air-generating component is provided in the middle of the top of the turntable assembly 61, the airflow generated by the air-generating component will move towards the finished product outlet 12; a cover plate 63 is provided on the upper side of the turntable assembly 61, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 As shown, a second cylinder 631 is connected to the bottom end of the cover plate 63 near the second station 652, and a clamping plate 632 is connected to the working end of the second cylinder 631. Generally, several retractable abutment rods are provided at the bottom end of the cover plate 63 opposite to the third filling mold 623 on the third station 653, and a control device is provided at the top of each abutment rod. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the filling molds all include an upper part and a lower part. The bottom end of the upper part of the filling mold and the top end of the lower part of the filling mold have a certain magnetism, causing the filling mold... The upper and lower parts of the powder filling machine must be separated by external force. The inside of the powder filling machine generally requires a vacuum regulating device to maintain the necessary vacuum environment. The parameters of the vacuum environment can be adjusted according to the user's needs. In addition, a regulating component 64 is provided on the side near the third station 653. The driving end of the regulating component 64 is connected to the turntable of the turntable assembly 61, and the fixed end of the regulating component 64 is connected to the cover plate 63. This design can prevent the cover plate 63 from moving with the turntable. In use, the capsule delivery device 3 injects the capsule shell into the first filling mold 621, keeping the capsule cap on the upper side of the capsule shell and the capsule shell body on the lower side. Under a vacuum environment, utilizing the difference in hole positions and negative pressure suction of the first filling mold 621, the capsule cap remains on the upper part of the first filling mold 621, while the capsule shell body is located on the lower part, thus separating the capsule cap from the capsule shell body. Then, the control component 64 is activated, its drive end causing the turntable to rotate clockwise, moving the first filling mold 621 to the second station 652. At this point, the second cylinder 631 begins to extend, moving the clamping plate 632 toward the second station 652. When the clamping surface of the clamping plate 632 contacts the first filling mold 621 at the current second station 652, the clamping plate 632 automatically clamps the upper part of the first filling mold 621, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 7 As shown; immediately afterwards, the second cylinder 631 begins to retract, taking the clamping plate 632 away from the second station 652, while the upper part of the first filling mold 621 moves away from its lower part, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 8 As shown; then, the powder filling auxiliary mold 143 moves downward until it is in close contact with the top of the lower part of the first filling mold 621, which facilitates the powder filling of the capsule body, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 9 As shown; after the lower part of the capsule body of the first filling mold 621 is filled, the powder filling auxiliary mold 143 rises to its original position, making room for the upper part of the first filling mold 621; at this time, the second cylinder 631 begins to extend, and the clamping plate 632 moves the upper part of the first filling mold 621 toward its lower part until the upper part and the lower part fit together and the first filling mold 621 returns to its original state. The clamping plate 632 automatically releases the upper part of the first filling mold 621, and then the working end of the second cylinder 631 begins to retract, causing the clamping plate 632 to return to its initial position, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 As shown; immediately afterwards, the control component 64 is activated, and the drive end of the control component 64 drives the turntable to rotate clockwise again. The turntable carries the first filling mold 621 from the second station 652 to the third station 653. When the control device detects the first filling mold 621 with the capsule shell, it drives the abutment rod to extend into the interior of the first filling mold 621. During this process, the capsule cap moves toward the top of the capsule shell body until it is assembled into a finished capsule and stops. At this time, the control device issues a retraction command to the abutment rod, and the abutment rod moves away from the first filling mold 621. Then, again... The control component 64 is activated, and its drive end drives the turntable to rotate clockwise. The turntable carries the first filling mold 621 from the third station 653 to the fourth station 654. At this time, the controller sends an extension command to the ejector rod, and the finished capsule in the first filling mold 621 is ejected by the ejector rod. Immediately afterwards, the air generator is activated, and the airflow generated by the air generator blows the finished capsule to the finished product outlet 12, and finally discharges it from the finished product outlet 12. In this way, the preparation and discharge of a set of finished capsules are completed, thereby achieving the purpose of preparing and discharging finished capsules.

[0087] Example 2

[0088] As attached Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a powder filling machine, including all the components in Embodiment 1 above. Besides being used to prepare finished capsules, this embodiment also enhances the working performance of the powder filling machine. It also includes components such as a baffle 7, a support frame 17, a discharge component 15, a vacuum regulating device 19, a radiator 20, and a control panel 21. In use, the baffle 7 reduces the probability of the powder hopper 4 becoming clogged; the support frame 17 collects powder spilled outside the powder hopper 4; the discharge component 15 facilitates the collection of finished capsules prepared by the powder filling machine; the vacuum regulating device 19 adjusts the vacuum level inside the installation chamber 11, which is crucial for ensuring the separation of the capsule cap and capsule body at the first station 651; the radiator 20 dissipates the heat generated during operation; and the control panel 21 controls the working status of each component of the powder filling machine.

[0089] To reduce the probability of clogging at the powder outlet of powder hopper 4, as shown in the attached... Figure 10 As shown, a baffle 7 is provided inside the powder hopper 4. In a specific application scenario, the powder hopper 4 has a cavity 41 inside, which includes an upper part and a lower part. The upper part is funnel-shaped, and the lower part is cylindrical. In addition, the two ends of the baffle 7 are connected to the inner wall of the upper part of the cavity 41. When a clump of powder enters the cavity 41 of the powder hopper 4, the clump of powder will collide with the baffle 7 provided in the cavity 41. At this time, the clump of powder is broken up, and the powder can flow out from the powder outlet of the powder hopper 4, thereby reducing the probability of the powder outlet of the powder hopper 4 being blocked.

[0090] In a specific application scenario, the baffle 7 is a cylindrical elongated member. This cylindrical elongated member can be configured in various ways; for example, it can be inclined and positioned on the upper side of the cavity 41 of the powder hopper 4. Figure 10 This shows the case where the baffle 7 is horizontally positioned on the upper part of the cavity 41.
