Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of capsule testing devices, specifically a fully automatic capsule testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, capsules are a dosage form of medicine and are very common in pharmacies. During the production process of capsules, in order to ensure that the weight of the medicine added into the capsules meets the standard, a fully automatic capsule testing machine is needed to test the weight of the capsules. The fully automatic capsule testing machine mainly consists of a feeding unit, a conveying unit, a testing unit, a rejection unit, and a discharging unit, thereby realizing the work of capsule transmission, testing, rejection, and discharging.

[0003] In real-world applications, after the capsules in the fully automatic capsule testing machine have been tested, the capsules move at a relatively high speed along the inclined surface of the discharge unit under the power of the conveyor. The impact force of the rapidly falling capsules is relatively large, and when they fall into the collection box, they collide with the box, which can easily damage the capsules and cause secondary defects, thereby reducing the quality of the capsules. Therefore, its practicality is not very good and there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fully automatic capsule testing machine, which features improved practicality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic capsule testing machine, comprising a testing device, wherein one side of the testing device is provided with several threaded holes, each threadedly connected with a bolt, one end of each bolt is threadedly connected to a fixing device, each fixing device is provided with an mounting groove and a connecting seat is mounted thereon, the upper part of each connecting seat is connected through a stress-relieving pipe to change the direction of capsule movement for stress relief, the upper part of the stress-relieving pipe is fitted with a collar, one side of the collar is provided with a support plate, one side of the support plate is provided with a fixing plate, and several fixing plates are rotatably connected to a stress-relieving assembly, which buffers the remaining impact force of the capsule.

[0006] Furthermore, the stress-relieving component includes a buffer plate, which is inclined and made of a flexible material.

[0007] Furthermore, a spring is provided on one side of the buffer plate, and the other end of the spring is connected to the support plate. The spring provides support force to the support plate and buffers the remaining impact force of the capsule.

[0008] Furthermore, the pressure relief pipe includes an inlet section, and a pressure relief section is provided on one side of the inlet section. The pressure relief section is arranged in an arc shape to change the movement direction of the capsule multiple times. A discharge section is provided on the left side of the pressure relief section, and the capsule after pressure relief enters the discharge section from the pressure relief section.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting groove of the fixing device has a T-shaped cross-section, the lower cross-section of the connecting seat has a T-shaped cross-section, and one end face of the connecting seat is tightly abutted against the side wall of the detection device.

[0010] Preferably, the collar is made of an elastic material, which makes it easy to pull the collar onto the unloading pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the lower part of the detection device is provided with a collection box for collecting fallen capsules.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a fully automatic capsule testing machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This fully automatic capsule testing machine works by constantly changing the direction of a capsule's movement as it enters the unloading section of the unloading tube. During this change, the impact force is transmitted to the unloading tube. Furthermore, as the capsule rises, its own weight cushions some of the impact, thus reducing its speed. Finally, when the capsule exits the discharge section and falls onto the buffer plate, the springs on the compressed buffer plate contract during rotation, absorbing the impact force and minimizing the capsule's speed. This minimizes the impact force when the capsule falls into the collection box, preventing damage and secondary defects. Therefore, this machine offers improved practicality.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model discloses a fully automatic capsule testing machine, including a testing device 1. Several threaded holes 2 are provided on one side of the testing device 1, each threadedly connected to a bolt 3. One end of each bolt 3 is threadedly connected to a fixing device 4. Each fixing device 4 has an mounting groove 5 and a connecting seat 6. A stress-relieving tube is connected through the upper part of each connecting seat 6. The capsule enters the stress-relieving tube and slides along its wall. Its impact force is dispersed by the tube wall after being redirected multiple times, thus achieving a stress-relieving effect. A collar 7 is fitted onto the upper part of the stress-relieving tube. A support plate 8 is provided on one side of the collar 7, and a fixing plate is provided on one side of the support plate 8. The collar 7 and the stress-relieving collar facilitate the installation of the support plate 8 onto the stress-relieving tube. A stress-relieving assembly is rotatably connected between the fixing plates. The capsule sliding out of the stress-relieving tube falls onto the stress-relieving assembly, which buffers the remaining impact force of the capsule. The capsule then falls downwards under gravity.

[0023] The force-relieving assembly includes a buffer plate 9 for direct contact with the capsule. The buffer plate 9 is inclined to facilitate rotation of the buffer plate 9 towards a vertical position when the capsule impacts it, thereby allowing the capsule to slide downwards along the end face of the buffer plate 9 when the impact force is relieved. The buffer plate 9 is made of a flexible material, such as rubber, polymer gel, or polyurethane foam, so that the buffer plate 9 deforms to a certain extent when the capsule impacts it, preventing damage to the capsule.

[0024] A spring 10 is provided on one side of the buffer plate 9, and the other end of the spring 10 is connected to the support plate 8. The spring 10 provides support force to the support plate 8. When the capsule impacts the buffer plate 9 and pushes the buffer plate 9 to rotate, the spring 10 contracts, thereby buffering the remaining impact force of the capsule.

[0025] The pressure relief tube includes an inlet 11. The capsule slides into the inlet 11 from the opening of the pressure relief tube. A pressure relief part 12 is provided on one side of the inlet 11. The pressure relief part 12 is arc-shaped. After the capsule enters the pressure relief part 12, its movement direction is changed multiple times, and the impact force is buffered. At the same time, when the capsule rises in the pressure relief part 12, part of the impact force is buffered by its own gravity. A discharge part 13 is provided on the left side of the pressure relief part 12. After pressure relief, the capsule enters the discharge part 13 from the pressure relief part 12 and then falls onto the buffer plate 9.

[0026] The mounting groove 5 of the fixing device 4 has a T-shaped cross-section, and the lower part of the connecting seat 6 has a T-shaped cross-section, so that when the lower part of the connecting seat 6 is inserted into the mounting groove 5 of the fixing device 4, it can only move in the up and down direction. One end face of the connecting seat 6 and the side wall of the detection device 1 are tightly pressed together, which helps to improve the stability between the connecting seat 6 and the detection device 1.

[0027] The collar 7 is made of elastic material, which makes it easy to pull the collar 7 to deform it, so as to fit the collar 7 onto the unloading pipe.

[0028] The lower part of the detection device 1 is provided with a collection box 14 for collecting fallen capsules. When a certain amount of capsules are collected, the capsules can be removed.

[0029] In summary, during use, the fully automatic capsule testing machine detects capsules that have been tested. The capsules slide downwards into the inlet 11 of the unloading pipe and then into the unloading section 12. They slide along the pipe of the unloading section 12, changing their direction of movement with the pipe's direction. Simultaneously, when moving upwards, the capsules' own weight cushions the impact. After the capsules have finished moving in the unloading section 12, they enter the discharge section 13 and move along it. After being discharged from the discharge section 13, they fall onto the buffer plate 9, which pushes the buffer plate 9 to rotate. This causes the compression spring 10 to contract, and after the impact is cushioned, the capsules fall into the collection box 14 below for storage. When a certain amount has been stored, the capsules can be removed.

[0030] 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.
