Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of capsule testing technology, specifically, it relates to a capsule testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Soft capsules, a type of capsule packaging commonly found in pharmaceuticals and health foods, are capsules made by sealing liquid or liquid-solid drugs within a soft capsule material. The soft material is made alone or in combination with capsule gelatin, glycerin, or other suitable pharmaceutical excipients.

[0003] Capsules refer to a type of medicine in which a certain amount of liquid drug is directly encapsulated, or a solid drug is dissolved or dispersed in a suitable excipient to form a solution, suspension, emulsion or semi-solid, and then sealed in a spherical or elliptical soft capsule.

[0004] After soft capsules are produced, they need to be weighed for quality inspection. Chinese utility model patent CN220398691U discloses a soft capsule quality inspection weighing device, including a device body, which includes a conveying mechanism and a weighing box. The conveying mechanism includes a storage hopper, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to a circular cavity. A discharge port is formed through the lower end of the storage hopper and the upper end of the circular cavity. A rotating shaft is movably connected inside the circular cavity. A rotating disk is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. Multiple receiving slots are formed on the outer wall of the rotating disk. A discharge port is formed through the lower end of the circular cavity. An electronic scale is installed inside the weighing box. A receiving tray is fixedly connected to the upper end of the electronic scale, and a silicone pad is fixedly connected to the upper end of the receiving tray. This soft capsule quality inspection weighing device is easy to operate, efficient, time-saving, labor-saving, and less likely to contaminate the capsules, thus enhancing the practicality of the soft capsule quality inspection weighing device.

[0005] However, the aforementioned weighing equipment cannot weigh each capsule individually, and cannot ensure that the weight of the powder inside each capsule is consistent. If each capsule is weighed, it will increase the workload of the staff. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problem mentioned in the background art that it is impossible to ensure that the weight of the powder inside each capsule is consistent, and that weighing each capsule would increase the burden on workers, this utility model adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A capsule testing machine includes a vibrating base, a storage box mounted on the upper end of the vibrating base, a spiral upward track installed inside the storage box, capsules to be weighed placed inside the storage box, a conveyor plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage box, the conveyor plate communicating with the spiral track, a distributing plate detachably connected to the end of the conveyor plate, a storage bin at the upper end of the distributing plate, an inlet communicating with the conveyor trough on the inner wall of the storage bin, a movable plate mounted on the outer wall of the distributing plate, multiple weighing troughs at the upper end of the movable plate, a second weighing sensor at the bottom inner side of each weighing trough, a moving component mounted on the distributing plate, the moving component causing the movable plate to move laterally left and right, and a discharging component mounted on the movable plate, the discharging component ejecting the capsules outward.

[0009] Preferably, multiple material distribution tracks are provided on the other side of the inner wall of the storage silo, and each material distribution track is adapted to the position of the weighing trough.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the conveyor plate is provided with a conveyor trough, and a glass cover plate is detachably connected to the upper end of the conveyor plate.

[0011] Preferably, a first weighing sensor is provided at the upper end of the dispensing plate, and the weight of the second sensor is compared with the weight of the capsule on the first weighing sensor.

[0012] Preferably, the moving component includes a drive gear, a drive rod, a drive belt, a drive motor, a pulley, a first sliding groove, a second sliding groove, a first sliding block, and a second sliding block. The outer wall of the material distribution plate is provided with a first sliding groove, and the upper and lower sides of the first sliding groove are provided with second sliding grooves. The opposite sides of the interior of the two second sliding grooves penetrate the material distribution plate. A connecting vertical plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate. The outer walls of the connecting vertical plate are fixedly connected with first sliding blocks inserted into the first sliding grooves. The bottom of one first sliding block is fixedly connected with a second sliding block, and the top of the other first sliding block is fixedly connected with a second sliding block. The second sliding blocks are slidably connected to the interior of the second sliding grooves. The bottom of the connecting vertical plate is provided with multiple meshing tooth grooves. The bottom sides of the material distribution plate are detachably connected with connecting mounting plates. A drive rod is rotatably connected to the connecting mounting plates. The end of the drive rod is fixedly connected with a drive gear that meshes with the meshing tooth grooves. A pulley is fixedly connected to the drive rod. A drive belt is sleeved on the outer walls of the pulleys on both sides. A drive motor is detachably connected to the outer wall of one connecting mounting plate. The rotating end of the drive motor is detachably connected to one end of the drive rod.

[0013] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes an air compressor, a manifold, and an electromagnetic control valve.

An electromagnetic control valve is installed on each air inlet pipe. A manifold is installed on multiple electromagnetic control valves. The air outlet of the air compressor is connected to the manifold.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The vibration of the set vibrating base causes the capsule to move upward along the spiral track inside the storage box, enter the interior of each distribution track through the conveyor plate, and then enter the weighing tank in sequence to weigh each capsule once.

[0016] 2. The drive motor in the movable component rotates, driving the drive rod and drive gear on one side to rotate. The pulley and drive belt drive the drive gear on the other side to rotate in the same direction, thereby enabling the movable plate and connecting vertical plate to move left and right. The second sliding block set at the top and bottom and the second sliding groove with opposite openings allow the weighing groove on the movable plate to completely extend beyond the material distribution plate for material feeding. This allows for the separate feeding of qualified and unqualified materials, thereby enabling strict control of the weight of the capsules.

[0017] 3. The air compressor in the feeding assembly stores a certain pressure of gas inside the manifold. After weighing, when the moving plate moves to the left, the electromagnetic control valve on the qualified weight weighing tank is opened, which blows out the capsule. When the moving plate moves to the right, the electromagnetic control valve on the unqualified weight weighing tank is opened, which blows out the capsule. This allows for the separate storage of qualified and unqualified weight capsules.

[0018] 4. By using the first weighing sensor, the capsules that have passed the weight test are placed on the first weighing sensor. The weight of the capsules is compared with the weight of the capsules on the first weighing sensor to determine whether the weight of the capsules is qualified. Attached Figure Description
