Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production equipment technology, specifically a detachable filter for soft capsule production line equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Soft capsules are a type of capsule packaging commonly found in pharmaceuticals and health foods. They are capsules made by sealing liquid or solid drugs in a soft capsule material after processing. The soft capsule material is made alone or in combination with capsule gelatin, glycerin, or other suitable pharmaceutical excipients. It refers to capsules in which a certain amount of liquid drug is directly encapsulated, or solid drugs are dissolved or dispersed in suitable excipients to form solutions, suspensions, emulsions, or semi-solids, and then sealed in a spherical or elliptical soft capsule material.
[0003] A current Chinese patent (publication number CN210229278U) discloses a filtration and separation device for the production of lecithin soft capsules. By incorporating a fixing mechanism, a control mechanism, a drive mechanism, and a pop-out mechanism, the fixing pin can be disengaged from the pin hole simply by pulling the pull rod, and then the pop-out mechanism ejects the filter screen. This is convenient and quick, eliminating the hassle of removing the filter screen with a screwdriver and preventing screw stripping, thus extending the device's lifespan.
[0004] However, the above-designed filtration and separation device for the production of lecithin soft capsules still has some drawbacks in actual use: when the filtration and separation device for the production of lecithin soft capsules is in use, most of the filter screen is immersed inside the filter chamber. When the operator takes out the filter screen for cleaning, he needs to put his hand into the filter chamber. In this process, he will inevitably come into contact with the inner wall of the filter chamber. Such contact may bring in external impurities and affect the cleanliness of the filter chamber.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a filter pool 1, a filter screen 10 is slidably disposed in the filter pool 1, and mounting plates 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the filter pool 1. A drive motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of one of the mounting plates 15, and a first pulley 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of both mounting plates 15. The drive end of the drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the first pulley 4, and a lifting rope 6 is wound around the first pulley 4. One end of the lifting rope 6 is fixedly connected to the first pulley 4. A clamping assembly is slidably disposed in the filter pool 1 and is connected to the filter screen 10. The other end of the lifting rope 6 is fixedly connected to the clamping assembly.
[0022] In practice, during the production of soft capsules, after the solution is filtered in the filter tank 1, the filter screen 10 carries away the impurities separated from the solution. Therefore, the filter screen 10 needs to be cleaned or replaced. The drive motor 3 is started to make the first pulley 4 rotate, which synchronously drives the lifting rope 6 to wind up on the first pulley 4. During the winding process of the lifting rope 6, the clamping component connected to the end of the lifting rope 6 rises synchronously, driving the filter screen 10 to rise above the filter tank 1.
[0023] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping assembly includes a clamping frame 9, the top of which is fixedly connected to the lifting rope 6, and a rectangular groove 11 is provided on one side of the clamping frame 9, into which the filter screen 10 is inserted.
[0024] By setting the clamping frame 9, the filter screen 10 can be detachably installed in the clamping frame 9. The clamping frame 9 is provided with a rectangular groove 11, which makes it easy for the filter screen 10 to be inserted into the clamping frame 9.
[0025] See Figure 1A second pulley 5 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 15. A lifting rope 6 is attached to the second pulley 5. A second rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the second pulley 5. The second rotating shaft 8 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 15. There are two second pulleys 5, and both second pulleys 5 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the second rotating shaft 8.
[0026] By setting a second pulley 5, the lifting rope 6 is attached to the second pulley 5, increasing the contact area between the lifting rope 6 and the second pulley 5. The second pulley 5 can adjust the tension of the lifting rope 6, ensuring the stability and safety of the clamping frame 9 during the lifting process.
[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 A connecting block 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping frame 9. A sliding groove 14 is provided on one side of both the filter pool 1 and the mounting plate 15. The sliding groove 14 is connected to the side of the filter pool 1 and the mounting plate 15 near the connecting block 2. The connecting block 2 is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 14.
[0028] By setting the connecting block 2, when the clamping frame 9 is raised and lowered, the connecting block 2 on one side of the clamping frame 9 moves synchronously in the vertical direction with the clamping frame 9. When the connecting block 2 slides in the slide groove 14, it can slide from inside the filter pool 1 to above the filter pool 1 and below the second pulley 5, making it convenient for the staff to take the filter screen 10.
[0029] See Figure 1 The drive end of the drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 7, and the first rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 15. There are two first pulleys 4, and both first pulleys 4 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the first rotating shaft 7.
[0030] By setting two first pulleys 4, the two first pulleys 4 can rotate synchronously through the first rotating shaft 7, driving the filter screen 10 to rise steadily on both sides of the filter screen 10.
[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shape of the connecting block 2 is set to "T" shape, and the inner diameter of the slide groove 14 is adapted to the outer diameter of the connecting block 2.
[0032] By setting a "T"-shaped connecting block 2, one end of the connecting block 2 is inserted into the slide groove 14, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the clamping frame 9 sliding in the filter pool 1 through the connecting block 2.
[0033] See Figure 3 The top of the rectangular groove 11 is provided with a threaded hole, and a bolt 12 is threaded into the threaded hole. The filter screen 10 is fixedly connected to the rectangular groove 11 by the bolt 12.
[0034] By setting bolts 12, it is easy for workers to fix the filter screen 10 in the clamping frame 9, thereby improving the stability of the filter screen 10 when it moves with the clamping frame 9.
[0035] See Figure 3 A handle 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the filter screen 10. The handle 13 is shaped like a "U" and has an integrally formed anti-slip texture.
[0036] By providing a handle 13, staff can easily pull the filter 10 out of the rectangular groove 11 by holding the handle 13, thus improving the convenience of operation.
[0037] Working principle: During the production of soft capsules, after the solution is filtered in the filter tank 1, the filter screen 10 carries away the impurities separated from the solution. Therefore, the filter screen 10 needs to be cleaned or replaced. The drive motor 3 is started to make the first pulley 4 rotate, which synchronously drives the lifting rope 6 to wind up on the first pulley 4. During the winding of the lifting rope 6, the clamping frame 9 connected to the end of the lifting rope 6 rises synchronously, driving the filter screen 10 to rise above the filter tank 1. During the rise of the filter screen 10, the two first pulleys 4 coaxially connected through the first rotating shaft 7 move synchronously to ensure the stable rise of the filter screen 10.
[0038] When the staff disassembles the filter screen 10, the staff can remove the bolt 12 from the clamping frame 9, thereby holding the handle 13 and pulling the filter screen 10 out of the rectangular groove 11 to clean the filter screen 10;
[0039] During the upward movement of the filter screen 10, the lifting rope 6 is also attached to the second pulley 5. When the lifting rope 6 moves, it drives the second pulley 5 to rotate. The second pulley 5 can adjust the tension of the lifting rope 6 to ensure the stability and safety of the clamping frame 9 during the lifting process. When the clamping frame 9 is lifted, the connecting block 2 on one side of the clamping frame 9 moves synchronously in the vertical direction with the clamping frame 9. When the connecting block 2 slides in the slide groove 14, it can slide from inside the filter pool 1 to above the filter pool 1 and below the second pulley 5, making it convenient for the staff to take the filter screen 10.
