[0032] The embodiment and the related details and working principles of the utility model are described below in combination with the drawings. The distribution mechanism of the combined soft capsule is used for feeding tablets and capsules, which comprises a flow distributor 10 and a material distribution assembly 11. The flow distributor is provided with a closed material channel 3 with both ends unobstructed. The upper end of the material channel is a feeding port 8, and the lower end is a discharging port 9. The flow distributor can be an integral structure, but it is difficult to process the closed material channel with both ends unobstructed in an integral structure. See the drawing Figure 4The diverter 10 includes a diverter plate 2 and a cover plate 1. The front of the diverter plate 2 has a vertically open groove. The cover plate 1 is installed on the front of the diverter plate and encloses the groove, thereby forming a closed material channel 3 with unobstructed access at both ends. In other words, the grooves of the cover plate and the diverter plate together form the material channel 3. The diverter adopts a separate structure of the diverter plate 2 and the cover plate 1, which is simple to process and facilitates inspection and maintenance. The cover plate is made of transparent material, allowing workers to observe the dispensing process within the material channel through the cover plate.

[0033] The material distribution assembly 11 includes a material distribution wheel 5, which is mounted on a rotating shaft 6 and rotates vertically. A material trough 4 is provided on the circumferential side of the material distribution wheel, and part of the material distribution wheel enters the material channel 3. Specifically, the back of the diversion plate 2 has an inlet for the material distribution wheel to enter, corresponding to the material channel 3. The material distribution wheel enters the material channel through this inlet, and the width of the material distribution wheel 5 matches the width of the material channel 3. The material trough 4 receives and transfers the material. The material distribution wheel enters the material channel and rotates relative to the cover plate, conveying the material 12 through the material trough 4. The material distribution wheel divides the material channel into an upper channel 14 and a lower channel 15 (see attached diagram). Figure 5 When the feed trough 4 of the feed wheel faces upward, the material enters the feed trough and the feed trough 4 receives the material 12. The feed wheel rotates so that the feed trough faces the lower channel, the material leaves the feed trough and enters the lower channel 15. The material in the upper channel 14 is blocked by the feed wheel 5. The circumferential side of the feed wheel is dynamically sealed with the cover plate 1. The circumferential side of the feed wheel cooperates with the cover plate to prevent the material 12 from passing between the feed wheel 5 and the cover plate 1. In this way, the material is received and transferred one by one.

[0034] Appendix Figure 5 In the process, after receiving material, the material distribution wheel 5 rotates counterclockwise, conveying the material 12 that has entered the material trough 4 to the lower channel 15. The material trough remains within the material channel for at least the period from receiving material until the material enters the lower channel. The rotating shaft 6 can rotate in the same direction, and if it rotates continuously counterclockwise, the material trough 4 will cycle through entering the material channel 3, receiving material, conveying material, leaving the material channel 3, and re-entering the material channel. To improve the efficiency of material distribution, two or three material troughs can be set on the material distribution wheel 5, allowing for two or three material conveying operations per revolution. The rotating shaft 6 can also rotate in both directions, to achieve a reciprocating motion. Figure 5 For example, the counterclockwise rotation of the shaft 6 conveys material 12 to the trough 4, and the clockwise rotation resets the trough 4 to receive material. The reciprocating rotation can shorten the stroke of the material distribution wheel 5 and improve the efficiency of material distribution.

[0035] The material channel 3 and the distributing wheel 5 are provided with several groups, and several distributing wheels 5 are installed on the rotating shaft 6 which is rotatably installed on the flow divider and connected with the motor 7. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the distributing wheel 5 rotates synchronously. The rotating speed of the rotating shaft is matched with the conveying of the rubber sheet below. After the rubber sheet forming cavity is formed, the material in the material channel 3 is discharged from the discharge port 9 into the corresponding rubber sheet forming cavity, so as to realize the sub-packaging and material adding.

[0036] The outlet end 13 of the trough is arc-shaped. When the material 12 is separated from the trough, the material 12 will contact with the outlet end 13 of the trough. If the outlet end of the trough is sharp, the material will be scratched. The outlet end of the trough 4 is arc-shaped, so that the contact between the two is smooth, and the material is not damaged. At the same time, it is more beneficial for the material to be discharged from the discharge port 9.

[0037] The material channel 3 is vertically inclined. The material is generally long and cylindrical. The cross section of the material channel 3 is close to the cross section when the material is vertical. The material vertically enters the material channel 3. The material moves from top to bottom in the material channel 3 by gravity. The lower section of the material channel is arc-shaped and gradually inclined, so as to reduce the angle β between the material and the horizontal plane. See the attached drawings. Figure 2 and 6 The material in the discharge port is in a pouring state, and the included angle β between the material and the horizontal plane is about 60 degrees. After the material is separated from the discharge port 9, the material enters the rubber sheet forming cavity below in a horizontal state, so as to directly enter the liquid filling and rubber sheet sealing.

[0038] The sub-packaging mechanism of the combined soft capsule further comprises a material bucket 17. The lower end of the material bucket is a discharge end. The material bucket 17 is provided with several partitions 20. The partitions divide the discharge end of the material bucket into several flow channels 21. The flow channels correspond to the material channels 3. There are four flow channels corresponding to four flow channels. The partitions 20 divide the material at the discharge end of the material bucket, so that the material is smoothly discharged from the discharge end of the material bucket, avoiding material blockage. In order to make the material orderly enter the material channel, the lower part of the material bucket is provided with a connecting seat 18. The connecting seat is provided with a connecting channel 22. The upper and lower ends of the connecting channel are communicated with the material bucket and the material channel respectively. The upper end of the connecting channel is trumpet-shaped. The material orderly enters the material channel one by one through the connecting channel 22.

[0039] The flow divider 10 is installed on the lifting seat 19. The lifting seat is connected with the driving member which drives the lifting seat to move up and down on the rack. In the initial process of penetrating the rubber sheet, the lifting seat moves upward, driving the flow divider to move upward, so that the distance between the flow divider and the rubber sheet forming roller below is increased, facilitating the rubber sheet to penetrate between the two. After the rubber sheet is penetrated, the lifting seat 19 moves downward, and the flow divider 10 approaches the rubber sheet forming roller and enters the working operation of the combined soft capsule.
