When the drug is pushed out, the reset spring releases energy to pull the push plate 301 and the tubular protrusion 302 upward to return to their original positions, saving time and effort.
[0031] The working principle is as follows: the mold cylinder 1 is aligned with the prepared medicine and the mold cylinder 1 is pressed. Under the action of extrusion pressure, the medicine will enter the cavity 101. After cleaning the excess medicine around the mold cylinder 1, the push rod 303 is moved down by pressing the handle 304. Then, the push rod 303 pushes the tubular protrusion 302 through the push plate 301 to push out the medicine in the cavity 101, forming pills that are easy to use later. There is no need for staff to rub by hand, which saves time and effort.
[0032] Furthermore, as the push rod 303 pushes the push plate 301 downward, the telescopic column 504 moves downward simultaneously, and the return spring inside the fixed tube 503 is in a stretched state. When the drug is pushed out, the return spring releases energy to pull the push plate 301 and the tubular protrusion 302 upward to return to their original positions, making it easy to reuse.
