Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical processing equipment technology, and in particular to a capsule feeding device for a blister packing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A blister packaging machine is a machine that forms blister packs from transparent plastic films or sheets, and then seals the product between the blister pack and the base plate using methods such as heat sealing and bonding. Blister-packaged products are characterized by good visibility and excellent sealing, and are currently widely used in the light industry, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Especially in pharmaceutical packaging, medical capsules are often sealed using blister packaging machines to facilitate preservation and transportation.

[0003] The capsule packaging process involves first placing each capsule individually into the blister pack holes of an aluminum-plastic blister pack, and then sealing them into blister pack capsules using a sealing and encapsulation device. However, in traditional production processes, capsules are typically placed manually into the blister pack holes. Due to the large number and small size of the capsules, this method is labor-intensive and results in very low production efficiency for blister pack capsules, severely slowing down the normal operation of the entire pharmaceutical production line.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a capsule feeding device for a blister packing machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a capsule feeding device for a blister packing machine, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing manual method of manually feeding capsules one by one into the medicine holes of the aluminum-plastic blister pack results in high labor intensity for workers and reduces the production efficiency of aluminum-plastic blister pack capsules.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A capsule feeding device for a blister packaging machine, comprising:

[0008] The frame has baffles on both sides along its length, and a top plate is movably connected to the top of the two baffles;

[0009] The conveyor belt is positioned between two baffles along its length.

[0010] The feeding assembly includes a hopper and a discharge pipe. The hopper is vertically installed through the top plate, and the top of the discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the hopper.

[0011] The packing assembly includes a brush and a roller brush, the brush being vertically mounted above the conveyor belt and the roller brush being vertically mounted between two baffles, and the brush and roller brush rotating axially above the conveyor belt;

[0012] The feed pipe has multiple branch pipes;

[0013] The brush has multiple branch brushes extending in different directions on the same horizontal plane;

[0014] The roller brush includes a first roller brush and a second roller brush.

[0015] Optional, also includes:

[0016] A first motor is mounted on the top plate, and its output shaft passes through the top plate and is connected to a rotating disk at the end of the shaft. The bottom of the rotating disk is vertically connected to the brush.

[0017] The first and second roller brushes are connected to a pulley through the baffle at the same end of the first roller brush and the second roller brush respectively, and the two pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0018] The second motor has its output end connected to one of the aforementioned pulleys;

[0019] A third motor is located on one side of the frame to drive the conveyor belt to rotate;

[0020] A limiting plate is located inside the two baffles, and the limiting plate is close to the top of the conveyor belt.

[0021] Optionally, one or more of the brushes are vertically connected to the bottom of the rotating disk.

[0027] Optionally, the brush is a stiff-bristled brush.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0029] 1. The conveyor belt transports the blister packs, and the feed pipe with multiple branch pipes allows the capsules to be sprinkled to different parts of the blister pack, preventing the capsules from falling together and hindering uniform dispersion. Then, the first roller brush with guide thread strips evenly disperses the capsules sprinkled from the feed pipe. Finally, the brush with multiple branch brushes sweeps the dispersed capsules into the medicine holes of the blister pack, avoiding manual operation and ensuring the production efficiency of aluminum-plastic blister pack capsules.

[0030] Second, the top plate can be lifted by the movable connection between the top plate and the baffle, which makes it easier for operators to inspect and maintain the components below the top plate.

[0050] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a capsule feeding device for a blister packing machine, comprising:

[0052] The frame 10 has baffles 11 on both sides along its length, and a top plate 12 is movably connected to the top of the two baffles 11.

[0053] The conveyor belt 20 is disposed between the two baffles 11 along its length;

[0054] The feeding assembly 30 includes a hopper 31 and a discharge pipe 32. The hopper 31 is vertically installed on the top plate 12, and the top of the discharge pipe 32 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 31.

[0055] The filler assembly 40 includes a brush 41 and a roller brush 42. The brush 41 is vertically mounted above the conveyor belt 2, and the roller brush 42 is vertically mounted between two baffles 11. The brush 41 and the roller brush 42 rotate axially above the conveyor belt 2.

[0056] Among them, the feed pipe 32 has multiple branch pipes 321;

[0057] The brush 41 has multiple branch brushes 411 extending in different directions on the same horizontal plane; in this embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, brush 41 has 3 branch brushes 411;

[0058] The roller brush 42 includes a first roller brush 421 and a second roller brush 422. The first roller brush 421 is located between the feed pipe 32 and the brush 41 and is provided with a guide thread 4211 along its axial direction. The second roller brush 422 is located on the other side of the brush 41 and rotates clockwise above the conveyor belt 20.

[0059] Specifically, one end of the top plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the two baffles 11, and the other end is naturally placed on the top of the two baffles 11 under gravity, so that the top plate 12 can be lifted to facilitate the maintenance of the components located below the top plate 12.

[0060] In addition, the hopper 31 is spirally connected to the discharge pipe 32, and the appropriate discharge pipe 32 can be selected according to the specifications of the blister pack to meet more usage scenarios; the discharge pipe 32 can be replaced by lifting the top plate 12.

[0061] To prevent insufficient force from the brush 41 on the capsule, the brush 41 is a hard brush.

[0062] During use, the conveyor belt 20 transports the blister packs. Capsules fall to different positions on the blister packs through the branch pipes 321 of the feed pipe 32, preventing them from falling together and hindering uniform dispersion. The first roller brush 421 evenly disperses the capsules falling from the feed pipe 32 along the guide thread strip 4211. Then, the branch brush 411 of the brush 41 sweeps the dispersed capsules into the blister pack's medicine holes, ensuring that each blister pack's medicine hole is filled with one capsule. This avoids manual operation and ensures the production efficiency of aluminum-plastic blister pack capsules. The second roller brush 422, located downstream of the conveyor belt and rotating clockwise, can push capsules that have not fallen into the blister pack's medicine holes upstream of the conveyor belt 20, preventing them from affecting subsequent packaging processes.

[0063] The capsule feeding device for the blister packing machine also includes:

[0064] The first motor 50 is mounted on the top plate 12. Its output shaft passes through the top plate 12 and is connected to a rotating disk 51 at the end of the shaft. The bottom of the rotating disk 51 is vertically connected to the brush 41. The first motor 50 can provide power for the rotation of the brush 41.

[0065] The first roller brush 421 and the second roller brush 422 are connected to a pulley through the baffle 11 on the same side end, and the two pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0066] The second motor has its output end connected to a pulley, providing power for the rotation of the first roller brush 421 and the second roller brush 422;

[0067] The third motor is located on one side of the frame 10 and drives the conveyor belt 20 to rotate.

[0068] The limiting plate 60 is located inside the two baffles 11. The limiting plate 60 is close to the top of the conveyor belt 20 and is used to limit the blister pack, so that the blister pack can be moved linearly by the conveyor belt 20.

[0069] Specifically, one or more brushes 41 are vertically connected to the bottom of the rotating disc 51. An appropriate number of brushes 41 can be installed according to the size and specifications of the blister pack and capsule, so that the feeding device can meet more usage needs.

[0070] To prevent capsules that have not fallen into the blister pack holes from falling downstream of the conveyor belt 20 due to inertia caused by the rotation of the second roller brush 422, a baffle plate 70 is installed parallel to the downstream side of the second roller brush 422 near the conveyor belt 20. The bottom of the baffle plate 70 is close to the limiting plate 60, which also serves to provide secondary protection for capsules that have not fallen into the blister pack holes.

[0071] Specifically, the bottom of the barrier plate 70 is a brush head 71, which is a hard brush. This prevents the capsule from getting stuck at the bottom of the barrier plate 70 and also blocks excess capsules to prevent them from affecting subsequent packaging processes.

[0072] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 30 also includes a hopper 33, which is located on the top plate 12 and connected to the hopper 31.

[0073] To ensure the hygiene of the capsules, both the top of the hopper 33 and the hopper 31 are equipped with covers; a door is movably connected at the connection between the hopper 33 and the hopper 31, and the falling of the capsules in the hopper 33 can be controlled by opening and closing the door, thereby controlling the capsule feeding.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
