Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule production technology, and more specifically, to a high-efficiency capsule sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] A capsule is a small, sealed container, usually made of gelatin or other edible materials, that can encapsulate solid powders and granules. Its main features are that it can protect its contents from contamination by the external environment, while being easy to carry and take. The shape and design of capsules allow medicines, health products, or nutrients to be delivered to consumers in a convenient, precise, and easy-to-swallow form.

[0003] Empty capsules may occur during capsule production. If these empty capsules are not sorted out, they may affect the quality of the medicine and the efficacy of the medication for patients. Current sorting devices, such as the one described in Chinese patent application CN202022091781.3 "An Automatic Sorting Device for Soft Capsules", can cause the filter screen to vibrate when the operator presses the fixed block. This can prevent the filter screen from clogging during sorting and filtration, increase the efficiency of the device, and improve the user experience for the operators.

[0004] However, in actual use, staff need to press the fixed block after a blockage occurs in order for the screening operation to proceed smoothly. During normal sorting, the capsules can only rely on their own weight and the tilt of the sieve plate to slide slowly on the sieve plate, which is inefficient. Therefore, a more efficient capsule sorting device is needed to improve and optimize it. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a high-efficiency capsule sorting device with the advantage of high-efficiency sorting.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency capsule sorting device, comprising a support base and a sorting bin, wherein the sorting bin is fixedly installed on the top of the support base, a feed inlet is fixedly installed on the top of the support base, a hopper is fixedly installed on the top of the feed inlet, and a ventilation opening is fixedly installed on the left side of the support base;

[0007] The support base has a limiting groove inside, and a first rotating ring is rotatably installed inside the limiting groove. A screen plate is fixedly installed inside the support base, and a second rotating ring is rotatably installed on the left side of the screen plate. A spiral blade is fixedly installed between the first and second rotating rings. The outer wall of the first rotating ring has teeth. A sorting port is opened on the front side of the support base, and the sorting port is located on the left side of the screen plate. A discharge valve is provided inside the sorting port. A protective shell is fixedly installed on the top of the support base, and a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the protective shell. A drive wheel is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor. The drive wheel and the first rotating ring are meshed with each other through teeth. The number of drive wheels corresponds to the number of first rotating rings.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a filter plate is detachably installed on the left side of the ventilation opening;

[0009] The filter plate has mounting grooves at both the top and bottom, and the vent has telescopic grooves at both the top and bottom. An mounting block is movably installed inside the telescopic groove. The mounting block and the inner wall of the telescopic groove are elastically connected by a spring. The top of the mounting block extends through the inside of the mounting groove.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a ventilation motor is fixedly installed inside the ventilation opening, and blades are rotatably installed inside the ventilation opening. The output shaft of the ventilation motor and the blades are fixedly connected.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the number of sorting ports corresponds to the number of sieve plates, and a waste port is provided at the right end of the support base to discharge fine waste.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two sets of cleaning rollers are rotatably installed inside the feed inlet, and two sets of pulleys are rotatably installed on the rear side wall of the feed inlet, with the pulleys and cleaning rollers fixedly connected.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a housing is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the feed inlet, and a cleaning motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing. The output shaft of the cleaning motor is fixedly connected to a pulley, and the two sets of pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt drive.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cross-sectional shape of the mounting block is a right trapezoid, and the inclined surface of the mounting block is opened to the left.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model uses a cleaning motor to clean the surface of the capsules before sorting. Then, the operation of the ventilation motor causes the blades to rotate and blow in external airflow. Finally, the operation of the drive motor causes the spiral blades to rotate, which transports and turbulents the capsules inside the support base, enabling the sieve plate to quickly sort the capsules. Compared with traditional devices, this device has a larger range of capsule movement during sorting, is less prone to sedimentation, has a better screening effect, and higher sorting efficiency, effectively improving the production efficiency of capsules.

[0017] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the mounting block and spring, allows the filter plate to be disassembled by pressing the mounting block, thus removing the fixed relationship between the filter plate and the vent. When the filter plate needs to be installed, it can be installed by pushing it to the right. Compared with traditional devices, this device ensures that external impurities will not enter the interior of the support base during capsule sorting, and the filter plate can be quickly replaced, reducing the workload of the staff and improving work efficiency.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a high-efficiency capsule sorting device, including a support base 1 and a sorting bin 2. The sorting bin 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the support base 1, the feed inlet 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the support base 1, the hopper 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the feed inlet 4, and the ventilation port 5 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support base 1.

[0027] The support base 1 has a limiting groove 8 inside, and a first rotating ring 9 is rotatably installed inside the limiting groove 8. A screen plate 13 is fixedly installed inside the support base 1. A second rotating ring 12 is rotatably installed on the left side of the screen plate 13. A spiral blade 11 is fixedly installed between the first rotating ring 9 and the second rotating ring 12. The outer wall of the first rotating ring 9 has teeth 10. A sorting port 14 is opened on the front side of the support base 1. The sorting port 14 is located on the left side of the screen plate 13. A discharge valve 15 is provided inside the sorting port 14. A protective shell 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the support base 1. A drive motor 17 is fixedly installed inside the protective shell 16. A drive wheel 18 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 17. The drive wheel 18 and the first rotating ring 9 are meshed with each other through the teeth 10. The number of drive wheels 18 corresponds to the number of first rotating rings 9.

[0028] When capsules need to be screened and sorted, the staff sequentially starts the ventilation motor 6, drive motor 17, and cleaning motor 21. The capsules are then fed into the hopper 3 and enter the support base 1 through the inlet 4. During capsule feeding, the output shaft of the cleaning motor 21 drives one set of pulleys 22 to rotate. The two sets of pulleys 22 are connected by a synchronous belt 23, causing the pulleys 22 to drive the cleaning roller 19 to rotate and clean the outer surface of the capsules. When the capsules are inside the support base 1, the operation of the ventilation motor 6 drives the blades 7 to rotate, allowing outside air to be filtered through the filter plate 24 and blown into the support base 1. At this time, the capsules are blown to the right, and as the capsules move, the airflow from the vent 5 causes them to tumble, preventing sedimentation. The capsules are then blown into the first rotating ring 9 and the second rotating ring 9. Between the two rotating rings 12, the capsules are sorted by the screen plate 13. At the same time, the operation of the drive motor 17 drives the drive wheel 18 to rotate. The drive wheel 18 drives the first rotating ring 9 to rotate inside the limiting groove 8 through the teeth 10 on the outer wall of the first rotating ring 9. The spiral blades 11 rotate around the center of the first rotating ring 9. The spiral blades 11 cause the capsules to tumble inside the support base 1. With the airflow provided by the vent 5, the larger capsules are left on the left side of the screen plate 13, and the smaller capsules are sorted to the right side of the screen plate 13. After sorting layer by layer, the worker opens the discharge valve 15, so that the capsules sorted in the support base 1 are discharged from the sorting port 14. The broken capsules will be blown to the far right during sorting due to their small size and discharged through the waste port 29.

[0029] Before sorting, the capsules are cleaned by two sets of cleaning rollers 19 using the cleaning motor 21. Then, the ventilation motor 6 rotates the blades 7 to blow in external airflow. Finally, the drive motor 17 rotates the spiral blades 11 to transport and turbulent the capsules inside the support base 1, enabling the sieve plate 13 to quickly sort the capsules. Compared with traditional devices, this device has a larger capsule movement range during sorting, is less prone to sedimentation, has a better screening effect, and higher sorting efficiency, effectively improving the production efficiency of capsules.

[0030] A filter plate 24 is detachably installed on the left side of the ventilation opening 5;

[0031] The filter plate 24 has mounting grooves 26 at both the top and bottom, and the vent 5 has telescopic grooves 25 at both the top and bottom. The mounting block 27 is movably installed inside the telescopic groove 25. The mounting block 27 and the inner wall of the telescopic groove 25 are elastically connected by a spring 28. The top of the mounting block 27 extends through the inside of the mounting groove 26.

[0032] When the airflow is supplied to the vent 5, the filter plate 24 is responsible for preventing external impurities from entering the interior of the support base 1 and contaminating the capsule. After long-term operation, the filter plate 24 needs to be cleaned. At this time, the operator presses the mounting block 27 and pushes the mounting block 27 into the telescopic groove 25. The filter plate 24, which is no longer fixed by the mounting block 27, can be removed outward. After the cleaning is completed, the operator aligns the mounting grooves 26 on the upper and lower sides of the filter plate 24 with the mounting block 27 and pushes the filter plate 24 back into the vent 5. At this time, the mounting block 27 will be pushed into the interior of the telescopic groove 25. When the telescopic groove 25 and the mounting groove 26 are aligned, the mounting block 27 is reset by the elastic potential energy of the spring 28, thus completing the installation of the filter plate 24.

[0033] By using the mounting block 27 and spring 28, when the filter plate 24 needs to be disassembled, pressing the mounting block 27 will release the fixed relationship between the filter plate 24 and the vent 5. When the filter plate 24 needs to be installed, pushing it to the right will complete the installation. Compared with traditional devices, this device ensures that external impurities will not enter the interior of the support base 1 during capsule sorting, and the filter plate 24 can be quickly replaced, reducing the workload of the staff and improving work efficiency.

[0034] The ventilation opening 5 has a ventilation motor 6 fixedly installed inside, and a blade 7 is rotatably installed inside the ventilation opening 5. The output shaft of the ventilation motor 6 and the blade 7 are fixedly connected.

[0035] When the capsule is inside the support base 1, the operation of the ventilation motor 6 will drive the blades 7 to rotate, so that the outside air is filtered through the filter plate 24 and blown into the interior of the support base 1. At this time, the capsule will be blown to the right.

[0036] The number of sorting ports 14 corresponds to the number of sieve plates 13, and the right end of the support base 1 is provided with a waste port 29, which is responsible for the discharge of fine waste.

[0037] Damaged capsules, due to their small size, will be blown to the far right during sorting and discharged through waste outlet 29.

[0038] The feed inlet 4 has two sets of cleaning rollers 19 rotatably mounted inside, and two sets of pulleys 22 rotatably mounted on the rear side wall of the feed inlet 4. The pulleys 22 and the cleaning rollers 19 are fixedly connected.

[0039] The rear side wall of the feed inlet 4 is fixedly installed with a housing 20, and the outer wall of the housing 20 is fixedly installed with a cleaning motor 21. The output shaft of the cleaning motor 21 is fixedly connected to the pulley 22, and the two sets of pulleys 22 are connected by a synchronous belt 23.

[0040] The output shaft of the cleaning motor 21 drives one of the pulleys 22 to rotate. The two pulleys 22 are connected by a synchronous belt 23, which drives the cleaning roller 19 to rotate and clean the outer surface of the capsule.

[0041] The cross-sectional shape of the mounting block 27 is a right trapezoid, and the inclined surface of the mounting block 27 is opened to the left.

[0042] The staff aligns the mounting slots 26 on the upper and lower sides of the filter plate 24 with the mounting block 27, and pushes the filter plate 24 into the vent 5 to reset it. At this time, due to the shape of the mounting block 27, the mounting block 27 will be pushed into the interior of the telescopic groove 25. When the telescopic groove 25 and the mounting slot 26 are aligned, the mounting block 27 is reset by the elastic potential energy of the spring 28, thus completing the installation of the filter plate 24.

[0043] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0044] When capsules need to be screened and sorted, the staff sequentially starts the ventilation motor 6, drive motor 17, and cleaning motor 21. The capsules are then fed into the hopper 3 and enter the support base 1 through the inlet 4. During capsule feeding, the output shaft of the cleaning motor 21 drives one set of pulleys 22 to rotate. The two sets of pulleys 22 are connected by a synchronous belt 23, causing the pulleys 22 to drive the cleaning roller 19 to rotate and clean the outer surface of the capsules. When the capsules are inside the support base 1, the operation of the ventilation motor 6 drives the blades 7 to rotate, allowing outside air to be filtered through the filter plate 24 and blown into the support base 1. At this time, the capsules are blown to the right, and as the capsules move, the airflow from the vent 5 causes them to tumble, preventing sedimentation. The capsules are then blown into the first rotating ring 9 and the second rotating ring 9. Between the two rotating rings 12, the capsules are sorted by the screen plate 13. At the same time, the operation of the drive motor 17 drives the drive wheel 18 to rotate. The drive wheel 18 drives the first rotating ring 9 to rotate inside the limiting groove 8 through the teeth 10 on the outer wall of the first rotating ring 9. The spiral blades 11 rotate around the center of the first rotating ring 9. The spiral blades 11 cause the capsules to tumble inside the support base 1. With the airflow provided by the vent 5, the larger capsules are left on the left side of the screen plate 13, and the smaller capsules are sorted to the right side of the screen plate 13. After sorting layer by layer, the worker opens the discharge valve 15, so that the capsules sorted in the support base 1 are discharged from the sorting port 14. The broken capsules will be blown to the far right during sorting due to their small size and discharged through the waste port 29.
