Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thioctic acid capsule filling technology, and in particular to a fully automatic thioctic acid capsule filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times, pharmaceutical technology is constantly improving. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, some drugs are encapsulated. Drugs encapsulated are generally powders or granules that are irritating to the esophagus and gastric mucosa, or have an unpleasant taste, are easily volatile, are easily broken down by saliva in the mouth, or are easily inhaled into the trachea. Encapsulating these drugs not only protects their efficacy from destruction but also protects the digestive organs and respiratory tract. Removing the capsule shell may cause drug loss, waste, and reduced efficacy. The main component of lipoic acid capsules is lipoic acid, which can inhibit lipid oxidation in nerve tissue, prevent protein glycosylation, and thus nourish nerves and prevent neuropathy caused by high blood sugar.

[0003] A fully automatic capsule filling machine authorized in China (publication number CN 221490774 U) uses a shock-absorbing and stabilizing mechanism. Through the cooperation of various structures on the base, the machine body can be restricted around its surroundings during operation, thus preventing random shaking. At the same time, the first damper and the connecting rod work together to reduce or cancel the vibration generated by the capsule filling machine body during operation. This effectively improves the operational stability of the capsule filling machine body and the accuracy of the measurement data, thereby helping to improve capsule production efficiency.

[0004] However, this patent still has some shortcomings in its application. In some pharmaceutical factories, capsule filling is generally divided into four steps: empty capsule feeding, powder filling, capping, and unloading after capsule filling. This is usually done by multiple devices working together. Because capsules need to be transported between multiple devices, the equipment occupies a large area and the process is complex. In addition, the existing capsule filling equipment requires a lot of manual intervention, resulting in low work efficiency. Furthermore, during filling, operational errors may cause powder to spill. Since the powder is light, it is easy for it to be scattered, which will affect the filling process and reduce the processing quality of the capsules. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic thioctic acid capsule filling machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic thioctic acid capsule filling machine includes an operation box. The operation box contains a recycling component, which includes a recycling box fixedly connected to the inside of the operation box. The recycling box contains several air ducts. An air pump is fixedly installed on the side of the recycling box. An air extraction pipe is provided on the side of each air duct. One end of the air extraction pipe is fixedly connected to the air extraction port of the air pump, and the other end extends into the inside of the air duct. An adsorption element, configured as a breathable membrane, is provided at the top of each air duct. The adsorption element is fixedly connected to the inside of the recycling box.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the operation box is provided with a transmission element inside. The transmission element includes a support rod that is rotatably connected to the inside of the operation box. The support rod is provided with a first bevel gear part outside. The top of the support rod is provided with a support seat. The support seat is provided with a placement box outside.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the placement box is provided with a placement slot, and the interior of the placement box is provided with a driving element, which can be an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic rod. The top of the driving element is fixedly connected to a lifting plate, and the lifting plate and the placement slot are slidably connected.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the operation box, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. A second bevel gear is provided on the side of the rotating rod, and the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear are meshed together.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side of the operation box is provided with a sliding opening, the sliding opening is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding groove is slidably connected to the side of the placement box, and an ultraviolet spotlight is provided inside the sliding groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the operation box is provided with a seeding element and a filling element, and the bottom of the seeding element and the filling element is provided with a seeding tube and a filling tube, respectively, and the seeding tube and the filling tube are both corresponding to the placement groove.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support rod is respectively connected through the recycling box and the adsorption element, and the support rod is rotatably connected to the recycling box and the adsorption element.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side of the control box is hinged with a door, and an observation window is provided at the center of the door.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a capsule dispensing element, a filling element, a chute, a transmission element, a capsule outlet tube, and a filling tube, the process of capsule filling and conveying is realized. While ensuring the normal operation of the process, the various components of the device are adjusted, improving work efficiency. During operation, the lifting plate is first at the bottom of the placement slot inside the placement box. Then, when the placement slot and the capsule outlet tube are in the corresponding positions, the capsule dispensing element conveys the capsule shell downwards and places it on top of the lifting plate through the capsule outlet tube. Afterwards, the drive motor is controlled to work. The drive motor drives the first bevel gear and the support rod to rotate through the rotating rod and the second bevel gear. When the support rod rotates, it drives the support... The seat and placement box rotate until the placement slot and filling tube align. Then, the filling element fills the lower capsule shell in the placement slot with powder through the filling tube. After that, the drive motor is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, returning to the position of placing the capsule shell. The capsule dispensing element is then controlled to transport the upper capsule shell and close the upper capsule shell with the lower capsule shell containing the powder. Finally, the capsule is transported to the position of the slide chute, where the drive element lifts it upward, and the capsule falls into the slide chute. During the sliding process, it is disinfected by an ultraviolet lamp installed in the slide chute. The entire process can be completed automatically without manual intervention. Moreover, compared with traditional capsule filling equipment, it occupies a smaller area and is more efficient.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a recycling component, spilled powder is recovered, thereby effectively preventing powder waste, reducing production costs, reducing powder loss, saving resources, and contributing to environmental protection. Before filling begins, the air pump is turned on, and it begins to draw air out through the duct and exhaust pipe, sucking out the air in the operating box. During filling, powder may spill due to operational errors. Because the spilled powder is light, it will rise inside the operating box. At this time, the air pump drives the exhaust pipe to draw air out of the duct, thereby generating suction, which draws the risen powder to the top of the adsorption element for recovery. The adsorption element is set as a breathable membrane that can only pass through air, which can effectively ensure that the powder is adsorbed on the top of the adsorption element. This not only realizes the powder recovery process but also reduces the impact of powder rising on the filling process. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] For examples, please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] An automatic thioctic acid capsule filling machine includes an operation box 1, a recycling component 6 and a transmission element 8 inside the operation box 1, a support rod 801 that passes through the recycling box 601 and the adsorption element 602 respectively, and the support rod 801 is rotatably connected to the recycling box 601 and the adsorption element 602 respectively. A door 4 is hinged to the side of the operation box 1, and an observation window 5 is provided at the center of the door 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the transmission element 8 includes a support rod 801 rotatably connected to the inside of the operation box 1. A first bevel gear 803 is provided on the outside of the support rod 801. A support base 802 is provided on the top of the support rod 801. A placement box 807 is provided on the outside of the support base 802. A placement slot is provided on the top of the placement box 807. A driving element 808 is provided inside the placement box 807. The driving element 808 can be an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic rod. A lifting plate 809 is fixedly connected to the top of the driving element 808. The lifting plate 809 is slidably connected to the placement slot. A drive motor 80 is fixedly installed inside the operation box 1. 6. A rotating rod 805 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 806. A second bevel gear 804 is provided on the side of the rotating rod 805. The second bevel gear 804 and the first bevel gear 803 are meshed and connected. A sliding opening is provided on the side of the operation box 1. A sliding groove 7 is provided in the sliding opening. The sliding groove 7 is slidably connected to the side of the placement box 807. An ultraviolet lamp is provided inside the sliding groove 7. A seeding element 2 and a filling element 3 are respectively provided on the top of the operation box 1. A seeding tube 9 and a filling tube 10 are respectively provided at the bottom of the seeding element 2 and the filling element 3. The seeding tube 9 and the filling tube 10 are both corresponding to the placement groove.

[0028] The device incorporates a capsule filling and conveying process via a capsule dispensing element 2, a filling element 3, a chute 7, a transmission element 8, a capsule outlet tube 9, and a filling tube 10. This ensures the normal operation of the process while allowing for adjustments to the various components, thus improving efficiency. During operation, the lifting plate 809 is initially positioned at the bottom of the placement slot inside the placement box 807. Then, when the placement slot and the capsule outlet tube 9 are aligned, the capsule dispensing element 2 lowers the capsule shell and places it on top of the lifting plate 809 via the capsule outlet tube 9. Subsequently, the drive motor 806 is activated. The drive motor 806 drives the first bevel gear 803 and the support rod 801 to rotate via the rotating rod 805 and the second bevel gear 804. The support rod 801 rotates... When activated, the support base 802 and the placement box 807 rotate until the placement groove and the filling tube 10 correspond. Then, the filling element 3 fills the lower capsule shell in the placement groove with medicine powder through the filling tube 10. After that, the drive motor 806 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction and return to the position of placing the capsule shell. The capsule dispensing element 2 is controlled to transport the upper capsule shell and close the upper capsule shell and the lower capsule shell containing medicine powder. Finally, the capsule is transported to the position of the slide 7. The drive element 808 pushes it upward and the capsule falls into the slide 7. During the sliding process, the capsule is disinfected by the ultraviolet light installed in the slide 7. The whole process can be completed automatically without manual intervention. Moreover, compared with traditional capsule filling equipment, it occupies a smaller area and is more efficient.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the recycling assembly 6 includes a recycling box 601 fixedly connected to the inside of the operation box 1. The recycling box 601 has several air ducts 603 inside. An air pump 605 is fixedly installed on the side of the recycling box 601. An air extraction pipe 604 is provided on the side of the air duct 603. One end of the air extraction pipe 604 is fixedly connected to the air extraction port of the air pump 605. The other end of the air extraction pipe 604 extends into the inside of the air duct 603. An adsorption element 602 is provided on the top of the air duct 603. The adsorption element 602 is a breathable membrane. The adsorption element 602 is fixedly connected to the inside of the recycling box 601.

[0030] The system incorporates a recycling component 6 to recover spilled powder, effectively preventing powder waste, reducing production costs, minimizing powder loss, conserving resources, and contributing to environmental protection. Before filling begins, the vacuum pump 605 is turned on, drawing air out of the control box 1 through the duct 603 and extraction pipe 604. During filling, powder may spill due to operational errors. Because of its light weight, the spilled powder tends to rise inside the control box 1. In this case, the vacuum pump 605 drives the extraction pipe 604 to draw air out of the duct 603, generating suction to draw the rising powder to the top of the adsorption element 602 for recovery. The adsorption element 602 is a breathable membrane that only allows air to pass through, effectively ensuring the powder adheres to its top. This not only recovers the powder but also reduces the impact of powder rising on the filling process.

[0031] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the fully automatic thioctic acid capsule filling machine designed using this scheme is in operation, the lifting plate 809 is initially at the bottom of the placement slot inside the placement box 807. Then, when the placement slot and the capsule outlet tube 9 are in corresponding positions, the capsule dispensing element 2 conveys the lower capsule shell downwards and places it on top of the lifting plate 809 through the capsule outlet tube 9. Next, the drive motor 806 is controlled to operate. The drive motor 806 drives the first bevel gear 803 and the support rod 801 to rotate via the rotating rod 805 and the second bevel gear 804. When the support rod 801 rotates, it drives the support base 802 and the placement box 807 to rotate until the placement slot and the filling tube 10 correspond. Then, the filling element 3 fills the lower capsule shell in the placement slot with powder through the filling tube 10. Afterwards, the drive motor 806 is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, returning to the capsule shell placement position, and the capsule dispensing element 2 conveys the upper capsule shell. The upper capsule shell and the lower capsule shell containing the medicine powder are joined together. Finally, the capsule is conveyed to the position of the slide 7. The drive element 808 pushes it upward, and the capsule falls into the slide 7. During the sliding process, it is disinfected by the ultraviolet light installed in the slide 7. Before filling begins, the switch of the air pump 605 is turned on. The air pump 605 starts to draw air out through the air duct 603 and the air extraction pipe 604 to suck out the air in the operation box 1. During filling, the medicine powder may be spilled due to operation error. Because the spilled medicine powder is light, it will be raised inside the operation box 1. At this time, the air pump 605 drives the air extraction pipe 604 to draw the air out of the air duct 603, thereby generating suction force, so that the raised medicine powder is sucked to the top of the adsorption element 602 for recovery. The adsorption element 602 is set as a breathable membrane that can only pass through air, which can effectively ensure that the medicine powder is adsorbed on the top of the adsorption element 602.

[0032] 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.
