Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to capsule blanking technical field, concretely is a kind of blanking device of capsule cutting machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Capsules are a type of oral drug dosage form, primarily used to encapsulate powdered, granular, or liquid medications for ease of consumption by patients. A capsule typically consists of two parts: a hard outer shell and an inner space filled with medication. The shell is usually made of gelatin or other edible materials that can dissolve in the stomach, releasing the medication. The advantage of the capsule dosage form is that it can mask the unpleasant taste of the medication, and also protect the medication from the damaging effects of stomach acid until it reaches the small intestine.

[0003] During the production and processing of capsules, capsules need to be cut into specific sizes to meet different filling requirements. This step is crucial to ensure the consistency of capsules and the accuracy of drug dosage. However, due to equipment limitations and operational errors during production, the cut capsules may have size deviations, resulting in some capsules not meeting the specifications. These non-compliant capsules, if not screened out, will affect the subsequent filling and packaging process, and thus affect the quality and efficacy of the medication.

[0004] To solve this problem, the cut capsules need to be screened during the production process to remove those that do not meet the size requirements. Therefore, to save processing time and improve production efficiency, it is particularly important to improve the blanking equipment after cutting capsules and add screening function.

[0005] The improved blanking equipment integrates the screening function, which can immediately size the capsules after cutting. This integrated design not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces the scrap rate caused by size deviation.

[0006] In view of the above problems, it is urgent to make innovative design on the basis of the original blanking device. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0007] The utility model technical scheme is aimed at the technical problem that the prior art solution is too single, and provides a kind of blanking device of capsule cutting machine, which is significantly different from the solution of prior art, to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a kind of blanking device of capsule cutting machine, including blanking frame, the bottom of blanking frame two sides is respectively installed with small size collection box and large size collection box, and blanking frame bottom is connected with mounting block in the region between small size collection box and large size collection box, the bottom of mounting block is attached with conveying belt.

[0009] It also includes a correction structure:

[0010] The correction structure includes a conveying channel, a slope, an opening, a movable column, a hollow groove, an eccentric wheel, a connecting shaft, and a chain, the conveying channel is formed in the installation block and extends through the upper and lower ends, slope surfaces are arranged on both sides of the upper and lower ends of the conveying channel, an opening is formed on the other side of the conveying channel corresponding to the slope surfaces, a movable column is connected to each opening, the end of each movable column is located in a corresponding hollow groove formed in the installation block, an eccentric wheel is arranged in each hollow groove, the side of each eccentric wheel is in contact with the end of the corresponding movable column, and each eccentric wheel is connected to a connecting shaft, the end of the connecting shaft extends through the outer wall of the installation block and is connected to a chain through a sprocket, and the end of the connecting shaft is connected to a driving mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the blanking frame includes a partition rod, a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening, a plurality of partition rods are arranged on the top end surface of the blanking frame at equal intervals, and the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening are symmetrically formed between each partition rod of the blanking frame, the first opening is connected to a small collection box, the third opening is connected to a large collection box, and the second opening is connected to the installation block.

[0012] Preferably, the diameter of the first opening is smaller than that of the second opening, and the diameter of the second opening is smaller than that of the third opening.

[0013] Preferably, the upper sides of the partition rods are inclined, the length of the partition rod is smaller than the length of the blanking frame, and the top of the blanking frame is open and has a "concave" structure.

[0014] Preferably, the two slope surfaces in the conveying channel are distributed in a zigzag manner, the end of the movable column in the conveying channel is the same as the inner diameter of the capsule opening, and the end of the movable column in contact with the eccentric wheel is arc-shaped.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the capsule cutting machine has the following advantages: the blanking device is provided with a blanking frame, a small collection box, and a large collection box. When the capsules fall from the cutting equipment, they first pass through an inclined blanking frame. The design of the blanking frame allows capsules smaller than the standard size to slide to the first opening under the action of gravity and smoothly fall into the small collection box. Such a design not only improves the screening efficiency but also reduces waste caused by size inconsistency. For capsules that meet the standard size, they will smoothly pass through the first opening and fall into the correction structure at the second opening, preparing for subsequent processing. Capsules with larger sizes will continue to pass through the first and second openings and finally fall into the large collection box at the third opening, achieving effective collection of large-size capsules.

[0016] The setting of the correcting structure, when the capsule enters the correcting structure, firstly, the guiding cooperation of the slope surface can ensure the orientation of the capsule to be corrected. Since the capsule is closed at one end and open at the other end, the design ensures that the closed end of the capsule is always downward during falling into the conveying belt, which is beneficial to the subsequent processing process. Secondly, the movable column end in the correcting structure can be inserted into the opening of the capsule, which not only helps to correct the orientation of the capsule, but also checks whether the opening of the capsule has burrs or other problems that may affect the subsequent medicine filling and packaging. In this way, we can ensure the quality of the capsule, reduce the defect rate in production, and improve the overall production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
