Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plant hollow capsule processing technology, and in particular relates to a demolding device for processing plant hollow capsules. Background Technology

[0002] Plant-based empty capsules are capsules made from natural cellulose derived from plants (such as gelatin alternatives) and are commonly used in the packaging of pharmaceuticals, health products, or nutritional supplements. The production process of plant-based empty capsules involves several key steps, primarily including raw material selection, preparation, molding, and drying.

[0003] In the processing of plant-based hollow capsules, demolding is a crucial step to ensure the integrity and shape of the capsules. The demolding process involves removing and cleaning the formed capsule shell from the mold, requiring special care to avoid damaging the capsules or affecting quality.

[0004] There are two main methods for releasing plant-based hollow capsules from molds:

[0005] Manual demolding: For small-scale or low-automation production lines, demolding may be done manually. Care must be taken to avoid damaging the capsules with excessive force. Typically, specialized tools or manual removal of the capsules from the mold is used.

[0006] Mechanical demolding: In mass production, mechanized demolding has become the mainstream. Demolding machines use vibration, air pressure, or mold separation devices (such as mechanical push rods or air pressure) to push the capsule out of the mold. This method can improve efficiency and reduce errors caused by manual operation.

[0007] Both of these methods present varying degrees of inconvenience: manual demolding is inefficient and cumbersome, while mechanical demolding has a complex structure. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Example

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a demolding device for processing plant hollow capsules, including a platform 1, with support rods symmetrically arranged on the top surface of the platform 1, specifically, the support rods 10 are fixedly connected to the platform 1, a circular groove 2 is formed through the top surface of the platform 1, a first template 3 is provided on the inner wall of the circular groove 2, specifically, the first template 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 2, a second template 4 is symmetrically arranged on the side of the first template 3 facing the center, and a fixing plate 5 is provided on the side of the second template 4 away from the first template 3, specifically, the fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the first template 3. The plate 5 is fixedly connected to the second template 4. The top and bottom surfaces of the fixed plate 5 are provided with guide components. The side of the fixed plate 5 facing away from the second template 4 is provided with an airbag 9. A connecting pipe 8 is passed through the middle of the circular groove 2. The bottom surface of the connecting pipe 8 is sealed. The airbag 9 is connected to the connecting pipe 8. Specifically, the two ends of the airbag 9 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 5 and the connecting pipe 8 respectively. A rubber tube 13 is connected to the top of the connecting pipe 8. Specifically, the rubber tube 13 is connected to an air pump. The first template 3 and the second template 4 are symmetrically provided with forming grooves 12.

[0024] In this embodiment, when processing plant hollow capsules, the air pump first blows air into the rubber tube 13, and the gas enters the connecting tube 8 and then into the air bladder 9. The air bladder 9 expands, pushing the fixing plate 5 to move along the guide assembly, causing the second template 4 to fit tightly against the first template 3. Then, the molding material is injected into the molding groove 12. After molding, the air pump is depressurized, the gas inside the air bladder 9 is extracted, and it contracts, causing the second template 4 to separate from the first template 3. A collection container is placed below the platform 1 in advance. After the second template 4 separates from the first template 3, the capsule falls into the container.

[0025] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes a fixing block 6. Each fixing plate 5 has a fixing block 6 symmetrically arranged on its top and bottom surfaces. Specifically, the fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 5. A guide rod 7 is provided between the fixing block 6 and the platform 1. One end of the guide rod 7 is connected to the connecting pipe 8. Specifically, the guide rod 7 is fixedly connected to both the connecting pipe 8 and the platform 1. The fixing block 6 is slidably connected to the guide rod 7.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the airbag 9 drives the fixing plate 5 to move, the fixing block 6 slides along the guide rod 7 to limit the movement.

[0027] Furthermore, the first template 3 and the second template 4 are arranged in pairs, with several groups distributed at equal circumferential intervals.

[0028] In this embodiment, several groups are set up to facilitate the mass production of plant hollow capsules.

[0029] Furthermore, both the first template 3 and the second template 4 are provided with a number of forming grooves 12, which are distributed in an equidistant array.

[0030] In this embodiment, each set of first template 3 and second template 4 is provided with several forming grooves 12, which facilitates the mass production of plant hollow capsules.

[0031] Furthermore, the airbag 9 is designed with a corrugated folding pattern.

[0032] In this embodiment, the corrugated design facilitates the airbag 9 to expand in a certain direction.

[0033] Furthermore, the forming groove 12 on the first template 3 is connected to a guide pipe 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, molding material is poured into molding tank 12 through material guide pipe 11.
