[0024] In the embodiments of the present application, the shell feeding mechanism 6, the charging mechanism 7 and the discharging assembly 9 are common prior art, which will not be described in detail in the present application. The upper half shell frame 406 and the lower half shell frame 502 on the back are vertically aligned. The shell feeding mechanism 6 places the capsule shell inside the first capsule groove 461. Then the second cylinder 111 drives the mounting block 112 to move vertically upward. The top of the negative pressure suction nozzle 113 is attached to the bottom of the second capsule groove 521. The external vacuum device is started. The negative pressure suction nozzle 113 generates a negative pressure adsorption force on the inside of the second capsule groove 521, so that the smaller half shell at the bottom of the capsule enters the inside of the second capsule groove 521, realizing the separation of the capsule.
