Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule production equipment, and in particular to a continuous flipping structure for capsule molds with positioning components. Background Technology

[0002] During capsule production, the angles of operations such as oiling and gluing vary. Therefore, after the oiling operation is completed, the capsule mold needs to be flipped from a horizontal position to an upright position using a flipping structure to prepare for the subsequent gluing operation.

[0003] Existing capsule mold continuous flipping structures, such as the utility model patent with announcement number CN211485723U, include a mold strip flipping mechanism and a power device and synchronous transmission mechanism for driving the mold strip flipping mechanism to rotate. One side of the mold strip is limited in the mold strip groove on the mold strip flipping mechanism and flips downward 90° with the mold strip flipping mechanism, thereby flipping downward to an upright state. However, in this technical solution, since the mold strip groove can only cooperate with the slot on one side of the capsule core rod on the mold strip, the center of gravity is extremely unstable. As a result, the mold strip is very easy to fall out of the mold strip groove during the downward flipping process with the mold strip groove due to the unstable center of gravity, which is not conducive to stable flipping and subsequent stable conveying and dipping operations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a capsule mold continuous flipping structure with positioning components.

[0011] Preferably, it further includes a second mounting base for mounting on an external frame. The other end of the flipping shaft extends out of the continuous flipping member and is rotatably connected to the second mounting base.

[0029] Capsules are common pharmaceutical packaging materials, and capsule molds 200 are essential production tools for capsule manufacturing. A capsule mold 200 includes a strip 201 and several capsule cores 202 arranged along the length of the strip 201. A flipping plate 2011 is formed on the side of the strip 201, positioned between the side of each capsule core 202 and the side of the strip 201. A limiting plate 2012 is formed at the front end of the strip 201, positioned between the front side of the capsule core 202 and the front face of the strip 201. Each capsule core 202 includes a glue-dipping rod 2021 at its free end and a connecting rod 2022 connecting the glue-dipping rod 2021 and the strip 201. The glue-dipping rod 2021 is used to dip the capsule core in glue to form a semi-capsule shell.

[0030] like Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, a capsule mold continuous flipping structure 100 with a positioning component is provided, including a flipping shaft 1, a continuous flipping component 2, a positioning component 3, and a flipping drive mechanism 4. The flipping shaft 1 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the flipping drive mechanism 4 is used to drive the flipping shaft 1 to rotate around its axis. The continuous flipping component 2 is arranged coaxially with the flipping shaft 1 and is relatively fixed. The positioning component 3 is arranged coaxially with the flipping shaft 1 and is relatively fixed. The continuous flipping component 2 and the positioning component 3 can rotate synchronously with the flipping shaft 1. The continuous flipping component 2 has a plurality of flipping grooves 20 uniformly arranged along the circumference of the flipping shaft 1 for limiting the flipping plate 2011, a first open portion 21 arranged on one side of each flipping groove 20 for arranging the capsule core rod 202, and a first pushing portion 22 arranged on the other side of each flipping groove 20 for abutting the side of the strip plate 201 away from the capsule core rod 202. When the continuous flipping component 2 rotates in the direction of the first open portion 21, it can push the strip plate 201 abutting it in the direction of the first open portion 21 synchronously flipping through the first pushing portion 22. The flipping groove 20 is arranged parallel to the flipping shaft 1 and passes through the inlet end 23 and outlet end 24 of the continuous flipping component 2, respectively, so that the capsule mold 200 can extend into the flipping groove 20 through the inlet end 23 of the continuous flipping component 2 and extend out of the front end of the flipping groove 20 through the outlet end 24 of the continuous flipping component 2. The positioning component 3 is arranged on one side of the outlet end 24 of the continuous flipping mechanism 2. The positioning component 3 has a plurality of limiting grooves 30 evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the flipping shaft 1 for limiting the limiting plate 2012. The limiting grooves 30 are arranged corresponding to the flipping groove 20, and the depth of the limiting groove 30 is greater than the depth of the flipping groove 20.The capsule mold continuous flipping structure 100 of this embodiment is provided with a continuous flipping member 2 and a positioning member 3, which are coaxially arranged and relatively fixed with the flipping shaft 1. The continuous flipping member 2 is provided with a flipping groove 20 for limiting the capsule mold flipping plate 2011, and the positioning member 3 is provided with a limiting groove 30 corresponding to the flipping groove 20 for limiting the capsule mold limiting plate 2012. This allows the capsule mold 200 to be limited in the flipping groove 20 of the continuous flipping member 2 by the flipping plate 2011 on the side of the strip 201, and simultaneously limited in the limiting groove 30 of the positioning member 3 by the limiting plate 2012 at the front end of the strip 201. The depth of the limiting groove 30 is greater than the depth of the flipping groove 20, so that the capsule mold 200 can be limited in the downward flipping process of the capsule mold continuous flipping structure 100. The center of gravity is more stable, which greatly improves the stability of the capsule mold 200 and the capsule mold continuous flipping structure 100. This is conducive to the stable and smooth flipping operation of the capsule mold 200 and facilitates the stable conveying to the glue dipping process in the subsequent process. In addition, the continuous flipping component 2 has a plurality of flipping grooves 20 evenly arranged along the circumference of the flipping axis 1, and the positioning component 3 has a plurality of limiting grooves 30 evenly arranged along the circumference of the flipping axis 1. This allows the continuous flipping component 2 to rotate in the same direction continuously. Each capsule mold 200 can be inserted into each flipping groove 20 and the limiting groove 30 corresponding to the flipping groove 20 in sequence from the inlet end of the continuous flipping component 2. The capsule mold 200 is continuously flipped downwards by each flipping groove 20 and the limiting groove 30, thereby improving the flipping efficiency of the capsule mold 200.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, in some specific embodiments, four flipping grooves 20 are evenly arranged on the continuous flipping component 2 along the circumferential direction of the flipping axis 1, and four limiting grooves 30 are evenly arranged on the positioning component 3 along the circumferential direction of the flipping axis 1. This allows each flipping groove 20 and limiting groove 30 to continuously and sequentially drive each capsule mold 200 to flip downwards by 90°. The operation of the lower capsule mold 200 moving out of the flipping groove 20 and limiting groove 30 can be carried out simultaneously with the operation of the upper capsule mold 200 extending into the flipping groove 20 and limiting groove 30, further improving the flipping efficiency of the capsule mold 200. In another embodiment of this utility model, eight flipping grooves 20 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the flipping axis 1 on the continuous flipping member 2, and eight limiting grooves 30 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the flipping axis 1 on the positioning member 3. This allows each flipping groove 20 and limiting groove 30 to continuously and sequentially drive each capsule mold 200 to flip downwards by 45°. It also allows the operation of the lower capsule mold 200 moving out of the flipping groove 20 and limiting groove 30 to be performed simultaneously with the operation of the upper capsule mold 200 extending into the flipping groove 20 and limiting groove 30. In other embodiments, two or more flipping grooves 20 can be evenly arranged along the circumference of the flipping axis 1 on the continuous flipping member 2, and two or more limiting grooves 30 can be evenly arranged along the circumference of the flipping axis 1 on the positioning member 3. This also drives the capsule mold 200 to flip downwards with the capsule mold continuous flipping structure 100.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the depth of the limiting groove 30 is greater than the width of the strip 201, so that the strip 201 can be completely limited within the limiting groove 30, which can better maintain the stability of the center of gravity of the capsule mold 200 during downward flipping. In other embodiments, the depth of the limiting groove 20 can also be set to be greater than the width of the flipping plate 2011, or to be greater than the distance between the central axis of the capsule core 202 and the outer side of the flipping plate 2011. Compared with the existing technology, which only uses the partial structure arranged on one side of the strip on the capsule core to interlock with the limiting groove, these embodiments can also improve the stability of the center of gravity of the capsule mold 200 during downward flipping to a certain extent.

[0033] In some specific embodiments, the width of the strip 201 is 9mm-14mm, especially 13mm-14mm. Compared with the conventional capsule mold strips in the prior art, which are set to be greater than 16mm, the strip 201 in this embodiment is narrower, making the structure more compact when multiple capsule molds are arranged together. This is beneficial for subsequent batch glue application operations, which not only reduces the cost of capsule molds but also improves production efficiency. In addition, since the front end of the strip 201 can be limited within the limiting groove 30 of the positioning member 3 by the limiting plate 2012, it can maintain the stability of the center of gravity and prevent it from falling during the downward flipping of the capsule mold 200.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments, two sets of flipping shafts 1, continuous flipping components 2, and positioning components 3 are arranged side by side, and the rotation directions of the two flipping shafts 1 are opposite. Optionally, the capsule molds 200 on the two sets of continuous flipping components 2 and positioning components 3 flip downwards in a direction away from the other set of flipping shafts 1, which can simultaneously achieve the downward flipping of two capsule molds 200, improving the flipping efficiency. The flipping drive mechanism 4 includes two flipping drive motors 41 respectively arranged in front of the two positioning components 3, and two flipping transmission components (not shown in the figure) connected between the output shafts of the two flipping drive motors 41 and the correspondingly arranged flipping shafts 1. It can independently drive the two flipping shafts 1 to rotate through the two flipping drive motors 41 and the two flipping transmission components, which has high transmission efficiency and is convenient for installation, debugging and subsequent maintenance. Of course, in other embodiments, the two flipping shafts 1 can also be driven to rotate simultaneously by the same flipping drive motor 41 and flipping transmission component.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments, a first mounting base 71 for mounting on an external frame is also included. The first mounting base 71 includes a first mounting plate 711 and a second mounting plate 712 arranged opposite to each other, and a connecting plate 713 connecting the first mounting plate 711 and the second mounting plate 712. The second mounting plate 712 is arranged at intervals on the front side of the first mounting plate 711 and surrounds the first mounting plate 711 and the second mounting plate 712 to form a mounting area for arranging the flip transmission component. One end of the flip shaft 1 extends out of the positioning component 3 and is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 711. The flip drive motor 41 is mounted on the outside of the second mounting plate 712. The flip drive motor 41 is coaxially arranged with the correspondingly arranged flip shaft 1. The flip transmission component is set as a coaxial transmission structure, which has a simple structure and high transmission efficiency.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, a baffle plate 7111 is formed on the upper part of the first mounting base 71, which is arranged between the side of the flipping shaft 1 and the upper end face of the first mounting base 71 and can abut against the front end face of the strip 201. In this embodiment, the baffle plate 7111 is disposed on the first mounting plate 711 and arranged between the side of the first flipping shaft 1 and the upper end face of the first mounting plate 711. It can limit the strip 201 of the capsule mold 200 when it moves and extends along the flipping groove 20 and the limiting groove 30, preventing the capsule mold 200 from moving excessively, thereby ensuring that the capsule mold 200 is limited within the flipping groove 20 and the limiting groove 30.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, a second mounting base 72 for mounting on an external frame is also included. The other end of the flip shaft 1 extends out of the continuous flipping member 2 and is rotatably connected to the second mounting base 72, thereby supporting and positioning both ends of the flip shaft 1 through the first mounting base 71 and the second mounting base 72. Both ends of the flip shaft 1 can rotate relative to the first mounting base 71 and the second mounting base 72 respectively. Rotary bearings for connecting to the flip shaft 1 are respectively installed on the first mounting base 71 and the second mounting base 72, which is beneficial for the flip shaft 1 to rotate relative to the first mounting base 71 and the second mounting base 72. The upper part of the second mounting base 72 has a feeding area 720 for the capsule mold 200 to extend horizontally into the flipping groove 20. The height of the bottom surface of the feeding area 720 is flush with or substantially flush with the height of the bottom surface of the flipping groove 20 above the continuous flipping member 2, so that the strip 201 of the capsule mold 200 can move horizontally along the bottom surface of the feeding area 720 and the bottom surface of the flipping groove 20 above the continuous flipping member 2 and enter the flipping groove 20, thereby improving the stability of the capsule mold 200 entering the flipping groove 20 and the positioning groove 30. Of course, in some other embodiments, the height of the bottom surface of the feeding area 720 can also be set to be lower than the height of the bottom surface of the flipping groove 20 above the continuous flipping member 2, so that the capsule mold 200 can also be fed into the flipping groove 20 and the positioning groove 30 through the feeding area 720.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments, a first auxiliary flipping member 5 is further included, which is coaxially arranged and relatively fixed with the flipping shaft 1. The first auxiliary flipping member 5 is arranged between the continuous flipping member 2 and the positioning member 3. The first auxiliary flipping member 5 has a second open portion 51, which is arranged corresponding to the first open portion 21 for arranging the capsule core rod 202, and a second pushing portion 52, which is arranged corresponding to the first pushing portion 22 for abutting against the side of the strip 201 away from the capsule core rod 202. It is used to assist the continuous flipping member 2 in driving the capsule mold 200 to flip downward, thereby improving the stability of the flipping of the capsule mold 200. The first auxiliary flipping member 5 also has a first auxiliary plane 53, which is flush or substantially flush with the bottom surface of the flipping groove 20 and the bottom surface of the limiting groove 30. It is used to support the strip 201, improve the stability of the continuous flipping structure 100 in supporting the capsule mold 200, and facilitate the smooth extension of the strip 201 into the limiting groove 30 along the first auxiliary plane 53. The first auxiliary flipping component 5 and the continuous flipping component 2 are arranged at intervals to form a space for accommodating other external components, which facilitates the installation and arrangement of the capsule mold continuous flipping structure 100 on the external frame.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, a second auxiliary flipping member 6 is also included, which is coaxially arranged and relatively fixed with the flipping shaft 1. The second auxiliary flipping member 6 is arranged on the side of the continuous flipping member 2 away from the positioning member 3. The second auxiliary flipping member 6 has a third open portion 61, which is arranged corresponding to the first open portion 21 for arranging the capsule core rod 202, and a third pushing portion 62, which is arranged corresponding to the first pushing portion 22 for abutting the side of the strip 201 away from the capsule core rod 202. This is used to further assist the continuous flipping member 2 in driving the capsule mold 200 to flip downward, thereby improving the stability of the flipping of the capsule mold 200. The second auxiliary flipping member 6 also has a second auxiliary plane 63 that is flush or substantially flush with the bottom surface of the flipping groove 20 and the bottom surface of the feeding area 720. This is used to support the strip 201, improve the stability of the continuous flipping structure 100 in supporting the capsule mold 200, and facilitate the smooth extension of the strip 201 into the flipping groove 20 along the bottom surface of the feeding area 720. The second auxiliary flipping component 6 and the continuous flipping component 2 are arranged at intervals to form a space for accommodating other external components, which facilitates the installation and arrangement of the capsule mold continuous flipping structure 100 on the external frame.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the continuous flipping component 2 includes a continuous flipping body 25 coaxially arranged and relatively fixed with the flipping shaft 1, and a slot plate 26 and a push plate 27 arranged parallel to the flipping shaft 1 and detachably connected to the continuous flipping body 25. The slot plate 26 and the push plate 27 are arranged at intervals to form the flipping groove 20. The first pushing part 22 is formed on the side of the push plate 27 near the slot plate 26. The first opening part 21 is formed around the outer side of the continuous flipping body 25, the outer side of the slot plate 26, and the side of the adjacent push plate 27 away from the adjacent flipping groove 20. The structure is ingeniously designed, and the slot plate 26 and the push plate 27 are detachably connected to the continuous flipping body 25, for example, by means of screws or other structures, so that the slot plate 26 and the push plate 27 can be replaced, which is convenient for later maintenance.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the height of the outer side 261 of the groove plate relative to the bottom surface of the flip groove 20 is lower than the height of the outer side 271 of the push plate relative to the bottom surface of the flip groove 20. The height of the side of the adjacent push plate 27 furthest from the adjacent flip groove 20 relative to the bottom surface of the flip groove 20 is also lower than the height of the outer side 261 of the groove plate relative to the bottom surface of the flip groove 20. The width of the outer side 261 of the groove plate is less than the length of the connecting rod 2022, thereby preventing the outer side 261 of the groove plate from rubbing against the outer surface of the adhesive stick 2021 and causing wear on the adhesive stick 2021, thus ensuring the yield rate of semi-capsule shell production.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the continuous flipping body 25 is configured as a square column structure coaxial with the flipping shaft 1. Four sets of slot plates 26 and push plates 27 are provided. Each set of slot plates 26 and push plates 27 are arranged along one side of the square column structure. The side of the push plate 27 away from the slot plate 26 is flush with the adjacent side of the square column structure away from the slot plate 26. The side of the slot plate 26 away from the push plate 27 is spaced apart from the side of the square column structure away from the push plate 27. The flipping slot 20 is radially offset from the flipping shaft 1 so that the center of gravity of the capsule mold 200 is closer to the center of gravity of the continuous flipping body 25, which is beneficial to the stable support of the capsule mold 200 and makes the overall structure of the continuous flipping component 2 compact, which can reduce the space occupied on the external frame.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the positioning component 3 includes a positioning body 31 coaxially arranged and relatively fixed with the flipping shaft 1, and a groove block 32 and a push block 33 extending outward from the positioning body 31, respectively. The groove block 32 and the push block 33 are arranged at intervals to form the limiting groove 30. The push block 33 is used to abut against the side of the strip 201 away from the capsule core rod 202, and the groove block 32 is used to abut against the side of the strip 201 near the capsule core rod 202, so that the strip 201 is limited between the groove block 32 and the push block 33, and can be flipped downward with the rotation of the flipping shaft 1 under the push of the push block 33. The distance between the side of the groove block 32 away from the push block 33 and the side of the groove block 32 near the push block 33 is less than the length of the connecting rod 2022, thereby avoiding friction between the side of the groove block 32 near the continuous flipping component 2 and the outer surface of the adhesive stick 2021, thus ensuring the yield rate of semi-capsule shell production.
