[0002] Capsule molds are an important structure in capsule production. They are generally composed of multiple mold strips arranged in sequence. During capsule production, each mold strip needs to be separated from the capsule mold one by one and rotated 90°, that is, the strips are flipped from a horizontal state to an vertical state, so that the next process such as oiling, gluing or demolding can be carried out. Currently, the separation and flipping operations are completed manually by factory workers, which has a low degree of automation and results in low capsule production efficiency.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, a separation and flipping device 100 for a capsule production mold is provided, including a frame 1, a pushing mechanism 2, a flipping mechanism 4, and a separation mechanism 5. The pushing mechanism 2 includes a guide rail 21 arranged along the width direction of the frame 1 and a pushing structure 22 that can move along the guide rail 21. Two flipping mechanisms 4 are provided, respectively arranged on both sides of the guide rail 21. The capsule production mold 200 includes a plurality of mold strips 20 arranged along the width direction of the frame 1 below the two flipping mechanisms 4, and the mold strips 20 have a plurality of capsule core rods for dipping glue arranged in a straight line. The flipping mechanism 4 includes a flipping shaft 41 arranged parallel to the guide rail 21 and two flipping disks 42 arranged coaxially with the flipping shaft 41 and relatively fixed, which has good stability in gripping the mold strips 20. In some embodiments, only one flipping disk 42 or other quantities may be provided. The rotating disk 42 has multiple positioning slots 421 along its circumference for gripping the mold strips. One end of the rotating shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the other end is driven by the drive motor 43 mounted on the frame 1. The separation mechanism 5 is arranged below the two rotating mechanisms 4 and is vertically connected to the frame 1. The separation mechanism 5 is driven by the third motor 55 mounted on the frame 1 and can move upward under the drive of the third motor 55 to push a mold strip 20 arranged directly below the rotating mechanism 4 into the positioning slot 421 at the bottom of the rotating disk 42. The mold strip 20 gripped by the positioning slot 421 can be rotated towards the guide rail 21 under the drive of the drive motor 43 to the position corresponding to the push-away structure 3. The push-away structure 22 is used to push the mold strip 20 arranged corresponding to it on the two rotating mechanisms 4 out of the rotating mechanism 4.In this embodiment, the separation and flipping device 100 can drive the separation mechanism 5 to move upward via the third motor 55, thereby pushing the mold strips 20 out of the capsule mold 200 one by one and rising to be installed on the flipping mechanism 4. The drive motor 43 drives the flipping mechanism 4 to flip the mold strips 20 to the position corresponding to the push-away structure 22. The push-away mechanism 2 then pushes the mold strips 20 corresponding to the push-away structure 22 out of the flipping mechanism 4, thus realizing the automated separation, flipping, and push-away operation of the mold strips 20, greatly reducing the labor intensity of factory workers and improving the production efficiency of capsules. Furthermore, the guide rail 21 of the push-away mechanism 2 is arranged along the width direction of the frame 1. A flipping mechanism 4 is arranged on each side of the capsule, and a separation mechanism 5 is arranged below the two flipping mechanisms 4. When the separation mechanism 5 moves upward, it can simultaneously push a mold strip 20 directly below the two flipping mechanisms 4 to rise into the positioning groove 421 at the bottom of the flipping disk 42 installed on the two flipping mechanisms 4. The mold strip 20 gripped by the two flipping mechanisms 4 can flip towards the guide rail 21 and be flipped to the position corresponding to the push-away structure 22 as the two flipping mechanisms 4 rotate simultaneously. The push-away structure 22 can simultaneously push the corresponding mold strip 20 on the two flipping mechanisms 4 out of the flipping mechanism 4, thereby realizing the simultaneous separation, flipping and push-away of the mold strips 20 on both sides, further improving the production efficiency of the capsule.

[0028] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the frame 1 includes a first support 11 and a second support 12 arranged along its length direction. A third support 13 arranged below the two flipping mechanisms 4 and a fourth support 14 arranged below the third support 13 are connected between the first support 11 and the second support 12.

[0029] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the separation mechanism 5 includes four lifting shafts 51 that are vertically connected to the frame 1, making the lifting movement more stable. In other embodiments, only one or other lifting shafts 51 may be provided. A lifting channel corresponding to the lifting shafts 51 is vertically arranged through the third support 13. The lifting shafts 51 are fitted into the corresponding lifting channels, and both ends of the lifting shafts 51 extend out from the upper and lower sides of the third support 13, respectively. The lower end of the lifting shaft 51 is connected to a connecting seat 52, and the upper end is connected to a separation seat 53. The connecting seat 52 is arranged below the third support 13, and the separation seat 53 is arranged above the third support 13, thereby supporting and limiting the separation mechanism 5 on the third support 13 and preventing the separation mechanism 5 from falling off the third support 13. The third motor 55 is connected to the connecting seat 52 via the transmission structure 54 and is used to drive the connecting seat 52 to move up and down so as to drive the separation mechanism 5 to move up and down as a whole. The separation seat 53 can abut against the bottom of a mold strip 20 arranged directly below the flipping mechanism 4 as the connecting seat 52 rises, and push the mold strip 20 up into the positioning groove 421 installed at the bottom of the flipping disk 42.

[0030] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the transmission structure 54 includes a drive shaft 541 arranged horizontally below the connecting seat, a first rotating wheel 542 fixed relative to the drive shaft 541, and a rocker arm 543. The first rotating wheel 542 can rotate with the rotation of the drive shaft 541. The lower end of the rocker arm 543 is rotatably connected to the first rotating wheel 542 via the first connecting shaft 544, and the upper end is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 52 via the second connecting shaft 545. The first connecting shaft 544 and the second connecting shaft 545 are arranged parallel to the drive shaft 541, and the first connecting shaft 544 and the drive shaft 541 are arranged in a staggered manner. The third motor 55 is used to drive the drive shaft 541 to rotate around its axis, so that when the drive shaft 541 rotates, the first connecting shaft 544 on the first rotating wheel 542 makes a circular motion around the drive shaft 541. When the drive shaft 541 rotates once, the rocker arm 543 rotates once around the drive shaft 541 and drives the connecting seat 52 to rise and fall by one stroke. At the same time, the lifting shaft 51 drives the separating seat 53 to rise and fall by one stroke. The separating seat 53 pushes a mold strip 20 arranged directly below the flipping mechanism 4 on the capsule mold 200 to separate and rise once and reset to the lowering state to prepare for the next separation, thereby realizing the continuous separation of the mold strip 20 of the capsule mold 200.

[0031] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the four lifting shafts 51 are arranged in a matrix. The connecting seat 52 includes two connecting rods 521 arranged along the width direction of the frame 1 and a first base 522 connected between the two connecting rods. Each connecting rod 521 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the two lifting shafts 51. The first base 522 includes a first base 5221 connected to the two connecting rods 521 at both ends and a second base 5222 extending vertically upward from the first base 5221. The second connecting shaft 545 is connected to the upper end of the second base 5222. The second base 5222 is arranged close to the middle area of ​​the connecting rods 521, so that the second connecting shaft 545 is arranged in the middle area of ​​the entire separation mechanism 5, close to the center of gravity of the separation mechanism 5, which is conducive to the rocker arm 543 driving the separation mechanism 5 to rise and fall smoothly.

[0032] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the drive shaft 541 is arranged along the width direction of the frame 1, the third motor 55 is mounted on the outside of the second bracket 12, and a positioning seat 141 is mounted on the fourth bracket 14. The drive shaft 541 is rotatably connected to the positioning seat 141, with both ends of the drive shaft 541 extending outward from the outside of the positioning seat 141. One end is connected to the third motor 55 for transmission, and the other end is coaxially arranged with and fixedly connected to the first rotating wheel 542, preventing it from rotating relative to the drive shaft 541. This allows the third motor 55 to be mounted on the outside of the second bracket 12, facilitating its installation and subsequent maintenance. In other embodiments, the drive shaft 541 may also be arranged along the length direction of the frame 1 or in other directions.

[0033] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the separation seat 53 includes a separation platform 531 that is fixedly connected to the upper end of each lifting shaft 51, and separation components 532 that are respectively arranged on both sides of the separation platform 531 corresponding to the two flipping mechanisms 4. The two adjacent flipping disks 42 are arranged at intervals to form a lifting space for the separation components 532 to move upward. The separating component 532 includes a first separating portion 5321 arranged horizontally above the separating platform 531, and a second separating portion 5322 extending vertically downward from the first separating portion 5321. The first separating portion 5321 can abut against the bottom of a mold strip 20 arranged directly below the flipping mechanism 4 as the connecting seat 52 rises, and push the mold strip 20 up into the positioning groove 421 installed at the bottom of the flipping disk 42. The second separating portion 5322 is arranged on the side of the separating platform 531, and can block the mold strip 20 adjacent to it after the first separating portion 5321 pushes the mold strip 20 up, which is beneficial to accurately position the subsequent mold strip 20 directly below the positioning groove 421 at the bottom of the flipping disk 42, and facilitates the first separating portion 5321 to push the mold strip 20 up accurately into the positioning groove 421 for installation. In this embodiment, the separating platform 531 is set as a horizontally arranged plate structure, which is structurally stable. In other embodiments, the separating platform 531 can also be set as a structure composed of rods.

[0034] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, two drive motors 43 are provided, respectively arranged on both sides of the guide rail 21. The two drive motors 43 are respectively connected to two correspondingly arranged flipping shafts 41, so that the two flipping mechanisms 4 can rotate independently under the drive of the two drive motors 43, which facilitates later maintenance. As another embodiment of this utility model, only one drive motor 43 can be provided, and a synchronous transmission structure can be provided between the two flipping shafts 41 and the drive motor 43, so that the two flipping mechanisms 4 can rotate synchronously under the action of the same drive motor.

[0035] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, one end of the flip shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 11 via a bearing seat 111, and the other end is connected to the drive motor 43. Two drive motors 43 are respectively mounted on the outside of the second bracket via motor seats 121. The two motor seats 121 are spaced apart to form a reset channel for the push-away structure 22 to move along the guide rail 21 to the outside of the second bracket 12, allowing the push-away structure 22 to reset to its initial position outside the second bracket 12 after pushing, avoiding interference with the rise of the template 20 and its installation in the positioning groove 421. In this embodiment, the flip shaft 41 and the output shaft of the drive motor 43 are coaxially arranged, resulting in a simple and practical structure. This allows the flip shaft 41 and the output shaft of the drive motor 43 to rotate synchronously, enabling the power of the drive motor 43 to be transmitted more directly to the flip shaft 41, reducing power consumption and saving energy. In other embodiments, the output shaft of the drive motor 43 can also be arranged perpendicularly to the flip shaft 41 and connected via a direct bevel gear or other transmission gear, which can also drive the flip shaft 41 to rotate.

[0036] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the two ends of the guide rail 21 are respectively positioned and connected to the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12. The pushing mechanism 2 also includes a first rotating wheel 23 mounted on the first bracket 11 near one end of the guide rail 21, a second rotating wheel 24 mounted on the second bracket 12 near the other end of the guide rail 21, a second annular conveying member 25 sleeved around the first rotating wheel 23 and the second rotating wheel 24, and a second motor 26 for driving the second rotating wheel 24 to rotate. The second motor 26 is arranged between the two drive motors 43. The structure is compact and reasonable, which facilitates later maintenance. The first rotating wheel 23 is mounted on the first bracket through the adjustment structure 27. On the 11th, the adjustment structure includes an adjustment channel arranged along the length of the guide rail 21, and an adjustment component (not shown in the figure) slidably connected within the adjustment channel and capable of sliding along the adjustment channel. The relative position of the adjustment component and the adjustment channel is adjusted by adjusting the preload between the adjustment component and the adjustment channel. The central axis of the first rotating wheel 23 is positioned and connected to the adjustment channel through the adjustment component, so that the distance between the first rotating wheel 23 and the second rotating wheel 24 can be adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the adjustment component and the adjustment channel. This allows adjustment of the tension of the second annular transmission component 25 sleeved outside the first rotating wheel 23 and the second rotating wheel 24, facilitating later maintenance. The pushing-away structure 22 is connected to the second annular transmission component 25 and can reciprocate along the guide rail 21 with the second annular transmission component 25, thereby enabling continuous pushing away of the mold strip 20 of the capsule mold 200. In this embodiment, the guide rail 21 is set as a shaft, and two are arranged in parallel. The two shafts are spaced apart along the height direction of the frame 1. The push-off structure 22 is sleeved on each shaft and can slide along the shaft to perform reciprocating motion. The positioning stability of the push-off structure 22 is good, so that the push-off structure 22 can smoothly push the mold strip 20 away from the flipping mechanism 4. In other embodiments, more guide rails 21 can be set, and the guide rail 21 can also be set as a slide rail or other guide rail structure.

[0037] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, four positioning grooves 421 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the flipping disk 42, so that the mold strips 20 of the capsule mold 200 arranged below the flipping mechanism 4 can be flipped sequentially from a horizontal state to a vertical state by the continuous 90° rotation of the flipping disk 42, thereby realizing the continuous flipping of the mold strips 20 of the capsule mold 200. In other embodiments, the positioning grooves 421 can also be set to eight or other numbers, which can also realize the continuous flipping of the mold strips 20 of the capsule mold 200. The positioning groove 421 has two opposingly arranged first limiting members 422 and second limiting members 423 on its two side walls. The second limiting members 423 are spaced apart outside the first limiting members 422 and can extend and retract between a gripping state extending into the positioning groove 421 and an open state retracted into the side wall of the positioning groove 421. When the second limiting members 423 are in the gripping state, the two sides of the mold strip 20 can be respectively limited between the first limiting members 422 and the second limiting members 423, so that the mold strip 20 can be rotated with the rotation disk 42 and can be pushed out of the rotation disk 42 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis 41 under the push-away structure 22, which facilitates the rotation and push-away of the mold strip 20. In addition, the ability of the second limiting members 423 to extend and retract between the gripping state extending into the positioning groove 421 and the open state retracted into the side wall of the positioning groove 421 is beneficial for arranging the two sides of the mold strip 20 between the two first limiting members 422 and the second limiting members 423. Furthermore, a push-off channel 424 is formed between the two first limiting members 422 and between the two second limiting members 423, allowing the push-off structure 22 to pass through. This enables the push-off structure 22 to push the mold strip 20 out of each flipping disk 42 in a direction parallel to the flipping axis 41 through the push-off channel 424, and return to the initial position before the push-off operation along the push-off channel 424, thereby achieving continuous push-off operations in the same direction. A reset member is arranged between the second limiting member 423 and the side wall of the positioning groove 421 to keep the second limiting member 423 in the gripping state. The reset member can be a compression spring or elastic silicone, thereby realizing the automatic switching of the second limiting member 423 between the gripping state and the open state, improving the automation of the gripping, flipping, or separating operations of the mold strip 20.

[0038] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, a conveying mechanism 3 is also included, which is arranged on both sides of the separating mechanism 5. The two conveying mechanisms 3 are respectively arranged below the two flipping mechanisms 4. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a first annular conveyor 31 arranged along the length of the frame 1, and a first transmission wheel 32 and a second transmission wheel 33 respectively sleeved on the inner sides of both ends of the first annular conveyor 31. The axes of the first transmission wheel 32 and the second transmission wheel 33 are arranged along the width of the frame 1. Two sets of the first annular conveyor 31, the first transmission wheel 32 and the second transmission wheel 33 are provided. The two ends of the mold strip 20 are respectively placed on the upper surfaces of the two first annular conveyors 31. The mold strip 20 can move directly below the flip disk 42 as the first annular conveyor 31 rotates. A first motor 34 is installed on the frame 1 to drive the first transmission wheel 32 or the second transmission wheel 33 to rotate. The first motor 34 drives the first transmission wheel 32 or the second transmission wheel 33 to rotate, thereby driving the first annular conveyor 31 to rotate, and then driving the mold strip 20 on the upper surface of the first annular conveyor 31 to move directly below the flip disk 42, further realizing the automated separation of the mold strip 20.

[0039] As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the two second transmission wheels 34 are relatively fixedly connected by a coaxially arranged coupling 35, so that the two sets of first annular conveyor components 31, first transmission wheels 32 and second transmission wheels 33 can rotate synchronously, ensuring that the template strips 20 on the upper surface of the two first annular conveyor components 31 can move smoothly downwards towards the flipping disk 42. The first motor 34 is connected to the set of first annular conveyor components 31, first transmission wheels 32 and second transmission wheels 33 arranged opposite to each other on the two conveying mechanisms 3 through a drive assembly, which can drive the two conveying mechanisms 3 to rotate synchronously at the same time, ensuring that the conveying speed of the two conveying mechanisms 3 is the same, which facilitates the subsequent synchronous flipping and separation operations of the two flipping mechanisms 4. In this embodiment, the first motor 34 is mounted on the outside of the first bracket 11. The drive assembly includes a first driving wheel 36 that is fixedly connected to a first transmission wheel 32 of one of the conveying mechanisms 3 via a first transmission shaft, and a first driven wheel 37 that is fixedly connected to the first transmission wheel 32 of the other conveying mechanism 3 via a second transmission shaft. The first and second transmission shafts are rotatably connected to the first bracket 11 and can rotate relative to the first bracket 11 around their respective axes. The first driven wheel 37 is meshed with the first driving wheel 36. The first motor 34 is driven by the first driving wheel 36 and can drive the two conveying mechanisms 3 to rotate synchronously by driving the first driving wheel 36 to rotate. Since the first driving wheel 36 is meshed with the first driven wheel 37, the rotation directions of the first transmission wheels 32 of the two conveying mechanisms 3 are opposite, so that the mold strips 20 on both sides of the separation mechanism 5 can move towards each other under the drive of the first annular conveyor 31 on both sides of the separation mechanism 5.
