Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule filling machine technology, specifically to a discharge device for a capsule filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] The capsule filling machine is a piece of equipment integrating mechanical, electronic, and pneumatic technologies. It uses a microcomputer programmable controller and touch panel operation, and features variable frequency speed control and an electronic automatic counting device. This equipment can automatically complete the actions of capsule positioning, separation, filling, and locking, thereby reducing labor intensity, improving production efficiency, and meeting pharmaceutical hygiene requirements. The capsule filling machine is sensitive in its operation, accurate in its filling dosage, and easy to operate. It is suitable for filling various domestic or imported capsules and is an economical and practical piece of equipment for filling capsule medicines in the pharmaceutical industry.

[0003] There are still some problems in the actual production process of capsule filling machines that need to be solved. One of the common problems is that the capsules do not fall smoothly in the capsule slide. This is mainly because the outer diameter of the capsules is not up to standard. If the capsules are too large, the capsule discharge slide will be stuck or even blocked, causing equipment failure. At the same time, it will also greatly reduce the quality of the capsules. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a discharge device for a capsule filling machine. By designing a pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate, the size of the capsules can be pre-selected before they enter the capsule slide. Capsules that are too large will be stuck inside the capsule pre-selection slot, while capsules that can pass smoothly through the capsule pre-selection slot will enter the capsule slide. This effectively avoids the capsule slide from getting stuck or even blocked due to the outer diameter of the capsule being too large, which could cause equipment failure. It ensures that the capsules fall smoothly in the capsule slide and also helps to ensure the quality of the capsules produced, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example:

[0022] This utility model provides a discharge device for a capsule filling machine. Through the design of a pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate, the size of the capsule can be pre-selected before it enters the capsule slide. Capsules that are too large will be stuck inside the capsule pre-selection slot, while capsules that can pass through the capsule pre-selection slot smoothly enter the capsule slide. This can effectively prevent the capsule slide from getting stuck or even blocked due to the outer diameter of the capsule being too large, thus avoiding equipment failure. It ensures that the capsules fall smoothly in the capsule slide and helps to ensure the quality of the capsule output, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A discharging device for a capsule filling machine includes a capsule discharging seat 1 for the capsule filling machine. The capsule discharging seat 1 has a capsule slide 11 inside. A fixed seat 12 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the capsule slide 11 away from the discharge port. A pusher plate 14 is movably installed on the side of the fixed seat 12 near the capsule slide 11 via a first electric telescopic cylinder 13.

[0025] Among them, a pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3 is movably installed at the bottom of the capsule slide 11 via a second electric telescopic cylinder 2. A capsule pre-selection groove 31 is opened through the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3. An automatic capsule cleaning mechanism 4 is provided at the bottom of the capsule discharge seat 1 near the side of the second electric telescopic cylinder 2. The automatic capsule cleaning mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 41 fixedly connected to the capsule filling machine frame. A cleaning table 43 is movably installed on the top surface of the mounting frame 41 via a third electric telescopic cylinder 42. Several sets of ejection molds 44 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the cleaning table 43. Any set of ejection molds 44 is conical. A capsule discharge mechanism 5 is provided at the center of the bottom of the capsule discharge seat 1. The capsule discharge mechanism 5 includes a base fixedly connected to the capsule filling machine frame. 51. A lifting mold base 53 is movably mounted on the top surface of the base 51 via a fourth electric telescopic cylinder 52. Several sets of demolding 54s are fixedly mounted on the top surface of the lifting mold base 53. A capsule mold 55 is set on the top of the sets of demolding 54s. The capsule mold 55 containing capsules moves to the bottom of the capsule discharge seat 1 under the action of the transmission device. At this time, the fourth electric telescopic cylinder 52 extends upward to an appropriate length. Under its action, the lifting mold base 53 slides upward. At this time, the sets of demolding 54s enter the interior of the capsule mold 55 containing capsules for demolding. The discharged capsules are first pre-selected in size at the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3. Capsules that are too large will be stuck inside the capsule pre-selection groove 31. Then the lifting mold base 53 resets, and the capsules that can pass smoothly through the pre-selection groove 31 are released. Under the influence of gravity, the capsules in selection slot 31 automatically fall back into the capsule mold 55. Then, the second electric telescopic cylinder 2 retracts away from the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3. At this time, the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3 automatically moves to the top of the automatic capsule cleaning mechanism 4. Simultaneously, the third electric telescopic cylinder 42 extends upwards, causing the cleaning platform 43 to rise until the ejector mold 44 ejects and cleans the capsules stuck in the pre-selection slot 31, facilitating the next pre-selection. At the same time, the fourth electric telescopic cylinder 52 extends upwards again, causing the lifting mold base 53 to slide upwards. Several sets of demolding 54 then enter the capsule mold 55 containing the capsules for demolding until the capsules enter the capsule slide 11. The first electric telescopic cylinder 13 extends towards the pusher plate 14, which, under its action, discharges the capsules entering the capsule chute 11. After discharge, the entire device resets and continues the next round of capsule pre-selection and discharge. The design of the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3 allows for size pre-selection of capsules before they enter the capsule chute 11. Capsules that are too large will be stuck inside the capsule pre-selection slot 31, while capsules that can pass smoothly through the pre-selection slot 31 enter the capsule chute 11. This effectively prevents the capsule chute from jamming or even malfunctioning due to excessively large outer diameters, ensuring smooth capsule descent and guaranteeing capsule quality. Simultaneously, the entire device operates automatically, making it convenient and fast.Furthermore, the automatic capsule cleaning mechanism 4 is designed to automatically clean excessively large capsules.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Limiting grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the capsule discharge seat 1 near the pre-selected anti-blocking capsule plate 3. The second electric telescopic cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the capsule filling machine frame through the mounting base 21. Limiting sliders 32 are provided on both sides of the end of the anti-blocking capsule plate 3 away from the second electric telescopic cylinder 2. The limiting grooves 15 and the limiting sliders 32 are slidably connected. The limiting grooves 15 and the limiting sliders 32 can make the pre-selected anti-blocking capsule plate 3 stable and reliable during the displacement process, avoiding displacement and affecting the processing.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The base 51 has side plates 511 on both sides of its top. The inner wall of the side plate 511 is provided with a lifting groove 512 near the lifting mold base 53, and a displacement groove is provided near the capsule mold 55. The two sides of the lifting mold base 53 are fixedly installed with lifting sliders 531 that are compatible with the lifting grooves 512. The two sides of the capsule mold 55 are fixedly installed with displacement strips 551 that are compatible with the displacement grooves. The side plates 511, lifting grooves 512 and lifting sliders 531 make the lifting process of the lifting mold base 53 stable and reliable. At the same time, the displacement grooves and displacement strips 551 make the capsule mold 55 accurately displaced, which is convenient for subsequent accurate demolding.

[0028] It should be noted that electric telescopic cylinders are existing technology, and will not be discussed in detail here.

[0029] In this embodiment, the specific implementation scenario is as follows: During the capsule filling machine production process, the capsule mold 55 containing capsules moves to the bottom of the capsule discharge seat 1 under the action of the transmission equipment. At this time, the fourth electric telescopic cylinder 52 extends upward to an appropriate length, and under its action, the lifting mold seat 53 slides upward. At this time, several sets of demolding 54 enter the interior of the capsule mold 55 containing capsules for demolding. The exported capsules are first pre-selected in size at the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3. Capsules that are too large will be stuck inside the capsule pre-selection slot 31. Then, the lifting mold seat 53 resets, and the capsules that can pass smoothly through the capsule pre-selection slot 31 will automatically fall back into the interior of the capsule mold 55 under the action of gravity. Then, the second electric telescopic cylinder 2 retracts away from the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3. At this time, the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3 automatically moves to the top of the automatic capsule cleaning mechanism 4 under its action. At the same time, the third electric telescopic cylinder 42 extends upward, and under its action, the cleaning table 43 rises until the ejector mold 44 is ejected from the capsule pre-selection slot 31. The internal capsules are ejected and cleaned to facilitate the next pre-selection. At the same time, the fourth electric telescopic cylinder 52 extends upward again, and under its action, the lifting mold base 53 slides upward. At this time, several sets of demolding 54 enter the capsule mold 55 containing the capsules for demolding until the capsules enter the capsule slide 11. At this time, the first electric telescopic cylinder 13 extends towards the pusher plate 14, and the pusher plate 14 discharges the capsules that have entered the capsule slide 11 under its action. After the discharge is completed, the whole device is reset and continues the next round of capsule pre-selection and discharge operation. Through the design of the pre-selection anti-blocking capsule plate 3, the size of the capsules can be pre-selected before they enter the capsule slide 11. Capsules that are too large will be stuck inside the capsule pre-selection groove 31. Capsules that can pass through the capsule pre-selection groove 31 smoothly enter the capsule slide 11, which can effectively avoid the capsule slide from getting stuck or even blocked due to the outer diameter of the capsule being too large, which can cause equipment failure. This ensures that the capsules fall smoothly in the capsule slide and also helps to ensure the quality of the capsules.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
