Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule technology, and in particular to a gelatin hollow capsule. Background Technology
[0002] Empty capsules consist of a cap and a body, made from pharmaceutical gelatin and excipients. They are primarily used to encapsulate solid and liquid medications, solving the problems of unpleasant taste and swallowing difficulties. This allows patients to enjoy good medicine without the bitterness of unpleasant flavors. The slender shape of empty capsules makes them easy to swallow, and the capsule effectively masks the unpleasant taste and odor of the contents, making them an excellent container for solids and liquids.
[0003] Existing empty capsules are generally made of a capsule body and a capsule cap. If the empty capsule is accidentally squeezed during transportation or use, its shape may be severely deformed, which not only affects the appearance of the empty capsule but may also cause the powder to leak. Moreover, traditional empty capsules mostly lack pressure-resistant structures inside and out, resulting in poor overall pressure resistance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a gelatin hollow capsule that can solve the problem that most traditional hollow capsules lack pressure-resistant structures inside and outside, thus resulting in poor overall pressure resistance of the hollow capsule.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gelatin hollow capsule, comprising a capsule body and a capsule cap, wherein the outer surface of the capsule body is slidably connected to the inner wall of the capsule cap, and annular pieces are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both the capsule body and the capsule cap, a reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to one side of the capsule body, a protruding locking block is provided on the outer surface of the capsule body, and circular protrusions are provided on both sides of the protruding locking block, and a first groove and a slot are provided on the inner wall of the capsule cap.
[0006] Preferably, the interior of the first groove is connected to the interior of the card slot.
[0007] Preferably, the inner walls of the first groove and the slot are slidably connected to the outer surface of the protruding block, respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the capsule is fixedly connected with two reinforcing plates.
[0009] Preferably, the reinforcing ring is divided into an inner layer and an outer layer, with the outer surface of the inner layer fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer layer.
[0010] Preferably, the internal structure of the inner layer is a plurality of triangular shapes.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This gelatin hollow capsule, through the setting of two reinforcing sheets, can strengthen the inner structure of the capsule body, thereby giving the capsule body good compressive strength. Then, in conjunction with the inner layer setting, each corner of the internal triangular structure in the inner layer points to the center. This structure can reduce lattice defects and dislocation movement. When the capsule body is combined with the capsule cap, it can improve the structural strength of the middle connection of the whole capsule, thereby giving the whole hollow capsule shell better compressive strength.

[0019] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, terms such as greater than, less than, and exceeding are understood to exclude the stated number, while terms such as above, below, and within are understood to include the stated number. The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a gelatin hollow capsule, including a capsule body 1 and a capsule cap 2. The outer surface of the capsule body 1 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the capsule cap 2. Both the outer surfaces of the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 are fixedly connected with annular pieces 3. The two annular pieces 3 can reinforce the outer walls of the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2, thereby improving the strength of the assembled hollow capsule. A reinforcing ring 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the capsule body 1. A protruding locking block 4 is provided on the outer surface of the capsule body 1. Circular protrusions 5 are provided on both sides of the protruding locking block 4. A first groove 7 and a slot 8 are opened on the inner wall of the capsule cap 2. The interior of the first groove 7 is connected to the interior of the slot 8. The inner walls of the first groove 7 and the slot 8 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the protruding locking block 4, respectively.
[0024] Furthermore, two reinforcing pieces 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the capsule body 1. By setting the two reinforcing pieces 11, the inner structure of the capsule body 1 can be reinforced, thereby giving the capsule body 1 good compressive strength. Thus, when the capsule body 1 is combined with the capsule cap 2, the overall shape of the capsule is not easily deformed, thereby making the combined hollow capsule more usable.
[0025] Furthermore, the interior of the reinforcing ring 6 is divided into an inner layer 9 and an outer layer 10. The outer surface of the inner layer 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer layer 10, and the internal structure of the inner layer 9 is a plurality of triangular shapes.
[0026] Furthermore, by setting the inner layer 9, each corner of the internal triangular structure in the inner layer 9 points to the center. This structure can reduce lattice defects and dislocation movement. When the capsule body 1 is combined with the capsule cap 2, it can improve the structural strength of the middle connection of the whole capsule, thereby making the whole hollow capsule shell have better compressive strength, so that the hollow capsule will not be easily squeezed and deformed, thus improving the practicality of the hollow capsule.
[0027] Furthermore, with the protruding locking block 4, the operator inserts the capsule body 1 into the capsule cap 2. Then, the protruding locking block 4 enters the first groove 7. The capsule body 1 can then be rotated. The circular protrusions 5 on both sides of the protruding locking block 4 will contact and press against the inner walls of the groove 8, thereby pressing the protruding locking block 4 into the groove 8, thus connecting the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2, making it easy to assemble the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2.
[0028] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
