Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical production technology, specifically to a capsule filling device for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] The capsule filling machine integrates mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems. It adopts a microcomputer programmable controller, touch panel operation, frequency conversion speed regulation, and is equipped with an electronic automatic counting device. It can automatically complete the capsule positioning, separation, filling, and locking actions, reducing labor intensity, improving production efficiency, meeting pharmaceutical hygiene requirements, and is suitable for filling various domestic or imported capsules. It is currently the most economical and practical equipment for filling capsule medicines in the pharmaceutical industry.
[0003] As disclosed in CN219440024U, a traditional Chinese medicine capsule filling device relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine filling. It includes a medicine box with mounting plates symmetrically installed on both sides. Two sets of adsorption mechanisms are spaced apart above the medicine box. One set of adsorption mechanisms has an electric push rod arrayed at its bottom, and the other set has support blocks symmetrically installed at its bottom. A negative pressure is created inside the adsorption mechanism by a pump connected to a main pipe at the pump's inlet, a branch pipe connected to the top of the main pipe, and an air pipe connected to the top of the branch pipe. This, along with air holes arrayed at the bottom of the mounting plates, achieves adsorption. Simultaneously, by setting two sets of adsorption mechanisms, the two halves of the capsule are adsorbed and fixed. The lower adsorption mechanism, in conjunction with the electric push rod and the medicine box, ensures that the medicine is collected while simultaneously filling the capsules on top of the lower adsorption mechanism without discrimination.
[0004] However, existing capsule filling devices inevitably cause some drug spillage during injection, which can lead to waste as the automatic production process rotates and causes the drug to fall out, increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0042] In this embodiment, a traditional Chinese medicine capsule filling device is used by the user to insert capsule bodies and capsule caps through the empty capsule feeding trough 106 and medicine through the medicine inlet trough 202. After insertion, the user starts the rotating base 103 to drive the upper rotating disk 206 and the lower rotating disk 303 to rotate. When the upper rotating disk 206 drives the first clamping block 301 to rotate to the bottom of the first capsule sorting device 402, the first capsule sorting device 402 sorts the capsule caps and outputs them through the first lower insertion block 406. At the same time, the first telescopic mechanism 404 drives... The first telescopic clamping block pushes the capsule cap inside the first lower insertion block 406 into the first capsule clamping groove 302. When the lower rotating disk 303 drives the second clamping block 306 to rotate to the bottom of the second capsule sorting device 501, the telescopic block 304 drives the second clamping block 306 to extend forward. At this time, the second capsule sorting device 501 sorts the capsule body and outputs it through the first lower insertion block 406. At the same time, the second telescopic machine 502 drives the second telescopic clamping block to push the capsule body inside the second lower insertion block 504 into the second capsule clamping groove 401. After the capsule body and capsule cap are pushed in, the rotation continues and the lower rotating disk... When the second clamping block 306 rotates into the groove 603, the lifting device 204 drives the lifting rod 205 to press down, causing the injection needle 604 to be pressed into the capsule. At the same time, the feeder 601 works to deliver the medicine and inject it into the capsule through the injection needle 604. After the medicine is injected, the injection needle 604 resets and continues to rotate. The rotation causes the scraper 602 to scrape the residual medicine on the upper surface of the second clamping block 306 and let it fall into the receiving groove 606. The suction device 702 works to draw the medicine in the receiving groove 606 through the conduit 701. To avoid waste, the material is drawn into the medicine cartridge. When it rotates into the clamping frame 703, the telescopic block 304 resets and the telescopic rod 305 rises, causing the second clamping block 306 to rise and overlap with the first clamping block 301. At this time, the first lifting pin 704 rises and pushes the injected capsule body upward. At the same time, the capsule cap is fixed by the clamping plate 705, so that the capsule connection is completed. After connection, it continues to rotate into the medicine dispensing rack 706. At this time, the second lifting pin 801 rises and pushes the connected capsule out from the first clamping groove 302 and slides out through the chute 802.
