[0026] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, terms such as greater than, less than, and exceeding are understood to exclude the stated number, while terms such as above, below, and within are understood to include the stated number. The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an irregularly shaped hollow capsule, including a capsule body 1 and a capsule cap 2, both of which are hollow and have Reuleaux triangle cross-sections. A capsule limiting assembly is disposed inside the capsule body 1 and includes a first partition 7 fixedly connected inside the capsule body 1. A second partition 9 is fixedly connected inside the capsule cap 2, and the second partition 9 is hollow with its opening facing downwards. Both the first partition 7 and the second partition 9 have Y-shaped cross-sections and are slidably connected. A connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second partition 9, and a locking block 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting block 10. A locking groove 8 is formed on the surface of the first partition 7.

[0031] With the arrangement of the first partition 7 and the second partition 9, both of which are "Y" shaped, the Y-shaped first partition 7 and the second partition 9 can divide the internal space of the capsule into multiple parts, allowing different types of drugs or different doses of drugs to be placed separately. This helps to achieve layered release, timed release or on-demand release of drugs to meet specific therapeutic needs. The Y-shaped partition can increase the stability inside the capsule and prevent drugs from mixing, clumping or degrading during transportation or storage, which is crucial for maintaining the activity and effectiveness of the drugs.

[0032] Meanwhile, the first partition 7 and the second partition 9 can support the interior of the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2. This design can enhance the structural strength of the capsule, prevent the capsule from easily deforming or breaking when subjected to external forces, and improve the structural strength of the capsule. Through the supporting effect of the partition, the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 can be prevented from deforming, so that the capsule can maintain better shape stability during filling, transportation and storage.

[0033] The capsule limiting assembly also includes a connecting ring 3, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the capsule body 1. A groove 6 is provided on the inner wall of the capsule cap 2, and a second fixing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the capsule cap 2. Both the second fixing ring 5 and the groove 6 are slidably connected to the connecting ring 3. The cross-sections of the connecting ring 3 and the second fixing ring 5 are both Reuleaux triangles.

[0034] The design of the connecting ring 3, the second fixing ring 5, and the groove 6 allows the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 to fit together more tightly, increasing the capsule's locking and sealing. Simultaneously, the second fixing ring 5 limits the inner side of the connecting ring 3, further enhancing the stability of the connection and ensuring that the capsule will not easily separate due to external forces during transportation and use. The second fixing ring 5 also allows the connecting ring 3 to fit more tightly within the groove 6, effectively preventing drug leakage from the capsule and improving the capsule's sealing and drug safety.

[0035] There are six connecting blocks 10 and six locking blocks 11, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second partition 9. There are three locking slots 8, which are symmetrically arranged on the first partition 7. The six locking blocks 11 are respectively engaged with the corresponding locking slots 8.

[0036] The snap-fit ​​design of the snap-fit ​​block 11 and the snap-fit ​​slot 8 ensures the stability of the connection between the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2. Fixing the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2 makes the capsule more robust and less prone to deformation, making it easier for patients to swallow. The matching design of the snap-fit ​​block 11 and the snap-fit ​​slot 8 can effectively prevent the capsule cap 2 from falling off during the process of taking the capsule, ensuring the integrity of the capsule.

[0037] The six card blocks 11 are all pointed on the side closest to the first partition 7, and the lower ends of the six card blocks 11 are sloping.

[0038] The inclined surface at the lower end of the locking block 11 facilitates the compression of the locking block 11 by the first partition 7, causing the connecting block 10 to bend towards both sides of the first partition 7. This facilitates the locking block 11 engaging with the slot 8, improving the stability of the connection between the first partition 7 and the second partition 9, and enhancing the stability of the connection between the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2.

[0039] The inner wall of the capsule body 1 is fixedly connected with a first fixing ring 4.

[0040] The first fixing ring 4 and the second fixing ring 5 facilitate the reinforcement of the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2. The design of the first fixing ring 4 and the second fixing ring 5 enhances the overall structural strength of the capsule, making the capsule more robust and durable, and less prone to deformation or breakage. The first fixing ring 4 and the second fixing ring 5 help maintain the normal shape of the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2, preventing shape changes caused by internal pressure changes or external stress. The presence of the first fixing ring 4 and the second fixing ring 5 increases the safety of the capsule body 1 and the capsule cap 2, reduces the risk of drug leakage or ingestion due to capsule breakage, and thus better protects the drug.

[0041] 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.
