Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a transfer device for capsule processing equipment, belonging to the field of capsule transfer technology. Background Technology

[0002] Medications encapsulated in capsules are generally powders or granules that irritate the esophagus and stomach lining, or those with an unpleasant taste, high volatility, easy breakdown by saliva in the mouth, or easy inhalation into the trachea. Encapsulating these medications protects their efficacy from degradation and also protects the digestive and respiratory tracts. Removing the capsule shell could lead to drug loss, waste, and reduced efficacy. Additionally, some medications need to dissolve and be absorbed in the intestines; capsules protect them from destruction by stomach acid. In pharmaceutical terms, capsules refer to sac-like structures made of special film-forming materials to hold the contents or dosage for easy swallowing. Currently, capsules require transportation after processing.

[0003] However, manually transferring the capsules to other equipment for further processing not only causes secondary pollution but also results in low transfer efficiency. There is an urgent need for a transfer device for capsule processing equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a transfer device for capsule processing equipment, including a fixed slide rail 1, a transfer stand 7, a movable frame 10, and an equipment frame 22. The fixed slide rail 1 has grooved slide plates 2 slidably arranged on both the left and right sides of its upper end. Capsule carrying plates 3 are horizontally mounted on the upper ends of the two grooved slide plates 2 via bolts. Multiple capsule placement boxes 5 are arranged on the upper end of the capsule carrying plates 3. A first electric push rod 6 is arranged on the right rear side inside the fixed slide rail 1, and the movable end of the first electric push rod 6 is connected to the capsule carrying plate 3. The transfer stand 7 is longitudinally arranged behind the fixed slide rail 1. A first servo motor 8 is installed on the right side of the transfer stand 7. A horizontal lead screw 9 is horizontally installed inside the transfer stand 7. A horizontal nut block is threaded onto the annular side of the horizontal lead screw 9. The movable frame 10 is fixed to the front end of the horizontal nut block. A second servo motor 11 is installed on the upper end of the movable frame 10. A longitudinal lead screw 12 is longitudinally installed inside the movable frame 10. A longitudinal nut block is threaded onto the annular side of the longitudinal lead screw 12, and the front end of the longitudinal nut block is fixed to a connecting plate 13. An adsorption lifting plate 14 is horizontally mounted by bolts. Multiple vacuum generators 15 are mounted on the upper end of the adsorption lifting plate 14, and each vacuum generator 15 has a PLC control module 16 mounted at its front end. Multiple solenoid valves 17 and multiple vacuum suction cups 18 are mounted on the lower end of the adsorption lifting plate 14. A positioning frame 19 is horizontally fixed to the lower front end of the moving frame 10, directly below the adsorption lifting plate 14. Multiple positioning holes 20 are formed on the upper end of the positioning frame 19, and multiple cameras 21 are mounted on the lower front end of the positioning frame 19. The frame 22 is located on the left side of the fixed slide rail 1. A second electric push rod 23 is installed at the upper left end of the equipment frame 22. Multiple fixed one-way wheels 26 are installed on the upper right side of the equipment frame 22. A bearing plate 24 is slidably installed on the upper end of the multiple fixed one-way wheels 26. The left end of the bearing plate 24 is connected to the second electric push rod 23. Multiple capsule placement slots 25 are opened on the upper end of the bearing plate 24. This design solves the problem that when the capsules are manually transferred to other equipment for further processing, there is not only secondary pollution but also low transfer efficiency.

[0019] In the first embodiment of this utility model: multiple separators 4 are bolted to the upper end of the capsule carrier plate 3, which facilitates the separate arrangement of multiple capsule placement boxes 5. Each of the multiple capsule placement boxes 5 has a capsule placement slot at its upper end, and the size of the multiple capsule placement slots matches the diameter of the capsules. The addition of multiple capsule placement boxes 5 and the capsule placement slots facilitates the placement of capsules processed by the capsule filling machine.

[0020] The first servo motor 8 is connected to the horizontal lead screw 9, and the second servo motor 11 is connected to the vertical lead screw 12. By connecting the first servo motor 8 to the horizontal lead screw 9 and the second servo motor 11 to the vertical lead screw 12, the first servo motor 8 can drive the horizontal lead screw 9 to rotate, and the second servo motor 11 can drive the vertical lead screw 12 to rotate. Multiple vacuum generators 15 have their suction ends connected to multiple vacuum suction cups 18 via multiple solenoid valves 17. When the added vacuum generators 15 begin evacuating, the vacuum is transmitted to each vacuum suction cup 18 through the solenoid valves 17, creating a negative pressure. Multiple positioning holes 20 are located directly below the multiple vacuum suction cups 18. As the added vacuum suction cups 18 move downwards, they can pass through the positioning holes 20 to adsorb the capsules below them.

[0021] As a second embodiment of this utility model: In actual use, the processed capsules are placed in multiple capsule placement boxes 5. When they need to be transferred, the movable end of the first electric push rod 6 is retracted, which pulls the capsule carrying plate 3 backward (during this process, the two grooved slide plates 2 slide on the fixed slide rail 1), so that multiple capsule placement boxes 5 are all moved backward. During this process, multiple cameras 21 monitor the movement of multiple capsule placement boxes 5 in real time until multiple capsule placement boxes 5 move directly under the positioning frame 19 (if multiple capsule placement boxes 5 are not under the positioning frame 19...). Directly below, the first servo motor 8 is activated, driving the horizontal lead screw 9 to rotate. The horizontal lead screw 9 then moves the horizontal nut block horizontally via the thread principle, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the moving frame 10, connecting plate 13, and adsorption lifting plate 14 until the multiple capsule placement boxes 5 are moved directly below the positioning frame 19. Then, the second servo motor 11 is activated, rotating its shaft in the forward direction, driving the longitudinal lead screw to rotate. This moves the longitudinal nut block downward via the thread principle, adjusting the horizontal position of the connecting plate 13 and adsorption lifting plate 14. 4. Move downwards until multiple vacuum suction cups 18 pass through multiple positioning holes 20 and contact the capsules in multiple capsule placement boxes 5. The PLC control module 16 controls the opening of each solenoid valve 17, simultaneously activating each vacuum generator 15. When each vacuum generator 15 begins to evacuate, the vacuum is transmitted to each vacuum suction cup 18 through the solenoid valves 17, creating negative pressure. This continues until each vacuum suction cup 18 has adsorbed the capsule at its corresponding position. Then, the second servo motor 11 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the connecting plate 13 and the adsorption lifting plate 14 to move back to their initial positions. By controlling the movable end of the second electric push rod 23 to extend to the right, the carrier plate 24 can be driven to slide to the right on the multiple fixed one-way wheels 26 until the carrier plate 24 moves below the multiple vacuum suction cups 18. Then, the second servo motor 11 is controlled to rotate forward again. When the connecting plate 13 and the adsorption lifting plate 14 move down to the upper surface of the carrier plate 24, and the multiple adsorbed capsules are above the multiple capsule placement slots 25 at the corresponding positions, the vacuum generator 15 is controlled to turn off through the PLC control module 16. The multiple vacuum suction cups 18 lose negative pressure, so that the capsules fall into the capsule placement slots 25.
