Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose hollow capsule, including a capsule body 1, a capsule cap 2 is snap - connected to the capsule body 1, a capsule snap - connection component. The capsule snap - connection component is arranged on the capsule body 1. The capsule snap - connection component includes a boss 4, the boss 4 is fixedly connected to the capsule body 1, an annular groove 6 is formed on the surface of the boss 4, three sliding grooves 5 are formed on the surface of the boss 4, three stoppers 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 6, three connecting balls 8 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the capsule cap 2, the three connecting balls 8 are respectively rotatably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 6, and the three connecting balls 8 are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding sliding grooves 5.
[0026] A groove 9 is formed at the upper end of the capsule body 1, a sealing block 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the capsule cap 2, the sealing block 10 is slidably connected to the groove 9, and the sealing block 10 is in a "mouth" shape.
[0027] A folding ring ¾ is fixedly connected to the surface of the capsule body 1, and the folding ring 3 is in a circular ring shape protruding outward.
[0028] A sealing ring 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the capsule body 1, and the sealing ring 11 contacts the capsule cap 2.
[0029] The materials of the capsule body 1, the capsule cap 2, the folding ring 3, the connecting ball 8, the stopper 7, the sealing block 10 and the sealing ring 11 are all biodegradable hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
[0030] When using this capsule, first add the medicine inside the capsule body 1, then attach the capsule cap 2 to the capsule body 1, allowing the connecting ball 8 to slide on its inner wall and slide into the annular groove 6. Rotate the capsule cap 2 so that it rotates relative to the capsule body 1, causing the connecting ball 8 to rotate on the inner wall of the annular groove 6. This facilitates fixing and limiting the capsule cap 2. Using the stop block 7 to limit the connecting ball 8, the capsule body 1 and capsule cap 2 can be firmly fixed together to prevent them from loosening during use, preventing leakage of the internal medicine due to loosening, and ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of the medicine.
[0031] Simultaneously, the capsule cap 2 causes the sealing block 10 to contact the groove 9, the sealing block 10 slides on the inner wall of the groove 9, and the sealing ring 11 is set to facilitate the sealing between the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2. After the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 are fixed, the sealing performance between the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 can be further improved by the sealing block 10 and the sealing ring 11, thereby better protecting the internal drug from the influence of the external environment.
[0032] Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can effectively improve drug solubility. The use of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in the capsule body 1, capsule cap 2, folding ring 3, connecting ball 8, baffle 7, sealing block 10, and sealing ring 11 makes the drug easier to absorb in the body, thereby improving the therapeutic effect. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can enhance the stability of the drug in the capsule, preventing precipitation, separation, or phase separation caused by changes in factors such as temperature and pH, ensuring the efficacy of the drug. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is used as a lubricant in the capsule, which can reduce the irritation of the drug to the gastrointestinal tract and increase the patient's comfort when taking the drug.
[0033] The use of the folding ring 3 facilitates the expansion of the internal space of the capsule body 1, allows for adjustment of the drug storage specifications, and makes it easy to adjust the dosage of the drug according to actual needs, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the capsule.
[0034] Furthermore, the protrusion 4 and connecting ball 8 facilitate the fixing and sealing of the capsule body 1 and capsule cap 2, preventing the capsule from loosening during use and preventing leakage of internal drugs due to loosening, thus ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of the drug. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is derived from non-GMO plants, and the residue of harmful substances is far lower than that of traditional capsules, making it safer and more reliable, avoiding adverse effects on users, and improving the safety of the capsule.
[0035] The use of sealing block 10 and sealing ring 11 facilitates sealing between capsule body 1 and capsule cap 2. After capsule body 1 and capsule cap 2 are fixed, the sealing performance between capsule body 1 and capsule cap 2 can be further improved by the sealing block 10 and sealing ring 11, thereby better protecting the internal drug from the influence of the external environment.
[0036] Working principle: When using this capsule, first add the medicine inside the capsule body 1, then put the capsule cap 2 on the capsule body 1, and let the connecting ball 8 slide on the inner wall of the connecting ball 8 so that the connecting ball 8 slides into the annular groove 6. Rotate the capsule cap 2 so that the capsule cap 2 and the capsule body 1 rotate relative to each other, and the connecting ball 8 rotates on the inner wall of the annular groove 6. This makes it easy to fix and limit the capsule cap 2. The stop block 7 is used to limit the connecting ball 8, which can firmly fix the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 together, prevent them from loosening during use, prevent the internal medicine from leaking due to loosening, and ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the medicine.
[0037] Simultaneously, the capsule cap 2 causes the sealing block 10 to contact the groove 9, the sealing block 10 slides on the inner wall of the groove 9, and the sealing ring 11 is set to facilitate the sealing between the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2. After the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 are fixed, the sealing performance between the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 can be further improved by the sealing block 10 and the sealing ring 11, thereby better protecting the internal drug from the influence of the external environment.
[0038] Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can effectively improve drug solubility. The use of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in the capsule body 1, capsule cap 2, folding ring 3, connecting ball 8, baffle 7, sealing block 10, and sealing ring 11 makes the drug easier to absorb in the body, thereby improving the therapeutic effect. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can enhance the stability of the drug in the capsule, preventing precipitation, separation, or phase separation caused by changes in factors such as temperature and pH, ensuring the efficacy of the drug. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is used as a lubricant in the capsule, which can reduce the irritation of the drug to the gastrointestinal tract and increase the patient's comfort when taking the drug.
[0039] The use of the folding ring 3 facilitates the expansion of the internal space of the capsule body 1, allows for adjustment of the drug storage specifications, and makes it easy to adjust the dosage of the drug according to actual needs, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the capsule.
[0040] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
