[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule production technology, specifically a capsule quantitative filling device. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern pharmaceutical industry, capsules have become one of the most widely used drug dosage forms due to their advantages such as masking unpleasant drug odors, ease of administration, and high bioavailability. Quantitative filling of capsules is a key step in the capsule production process.
[0003] In the existing technology, capsules are delivered to the filling bottle through pipelines. However, in actual use, this method may cause multiple capsules to fall into the bottle at the same time, which may result in some capsules not being accurately aligned with the bottle opening, causing some capsules to fall outside the bottle and affecting the filling effect. Therefore, a capsule quantitative filling device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a capsule quantitative filling device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a capsule quantitative filling device, comprising a vibrating plate, a support frame, and a filling frame. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support frame, and a storage tube is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing frame. A first funnel is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the storage tube, and the first funnel is located at the discharge end of the vibrating plate. A distributing plate is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the support frame, and a first motor is fixedly installed on the bottom outer surface of the distributing plate. A feeding rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. A guide groove is formed on the outer surface of the distributing plate, and a second funnel is fixedly connected to the bottom outer surface of the distributing plate at the end of the guide groove.

[0006] Furthermore, a support shaft is rotatably connected to the top outer surface of the filling rack, and a filling disc is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the support shaft. The outer surface of the filling disc has four placement slots for placing filling bottles. A second motor is fixedly installed on the top outer surface of the filling rack. A drive gear is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the second motor. A driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support shaft. The outer surfaces of the drive gear and the driven gear are movably meshed.
[0007] Furthermore, an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the bottom outer surface of the material distribution plate, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod. A telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the bottom outer surface of the material discharge pipe, and one end of the connecting plate is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic tube.
[0008] Furthermore, the distance between the bottom of the storage tube and the guide groove is greater than the length of a single capsule but less than the length of two capsules.
[0009] Furthermore, an infrared transmitter is installed on the top outer surface of the filling rack, and four infrared receivers arranged in a circular array are installed on the bottom outer surface of the filling tray.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Example 1: Please refer to the following: Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a capsule quantitative filling device, including a vibrating plate 1, a support frame 2, and a filling frame 3. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support frame 2, and a storage tube 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed frame. A first funnel 5 is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the storage tube 4. The first funnel 5 is located at the discharge end of the vibrating plate 1. A distributing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the support frame 2. A first motor 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer surface of the distributing plate 6. A feeding rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 7. A guide groove 9 is opened on the outer surface of the distributing plate 6. A second funnel 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide groove 9 on the bottom outer surface of the distributing plate 6. A discharge pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer surface of the second funnel 10. Specifically, the capsule is placed in the vibrating plate 1. Inside the vibrating plate 1, the capsules are vibrated and arranged by the operation of the vibrating plate 1. The capsules enter the interior of the first funnel 5 and enter the storage tube 4 in a vertical state for storage. The first motor 7 drives the feeding rod 8 to rotate. The feeding rod 8 rotates to the position of contacting the bottommost capsule, so that the feeding rod 8 drives the bottommost capsule to slide inside the guide groove 9. When the capsule comes into contact with the second funnel 10, the capsule enters the discharge tube 11 through the second funnel 10 and then enters the filling bottle through the telescopic tube. This allows a single capsule to enter the filling bottle and accurately correspond to the bottle mouth, preventing the capsule from falling outside the filling bottle during filling. The controller controls the number of rotations of the feeding rod 8 driven by the first motor 7 to quantitatively fill the capsules.
[0021] In this embodiment, a support shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the top outer surface of the filling rack 3, and a filling disk 13 is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the support shaft 12. The outer surface of the filling disk 13 has four placement slots for placing filling bottles. A second motor 14 is fixedly installed on the top outer surface of the filling rack 3. A drive gear 15 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the second motor 14, and a driven gear 16 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support shaft 12. The outer surfaces of the drive gear 15 and the driven gear 16 are movably meshed. Specifically, when the capsules in a filling bottle are filled, the second motor 14 drives the drive gear 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 16 to rotate, causing the support shaft 12 to rotate. This causes the filling disk 13 to rotate the filling bottle, rotating the unfilled filling bottle to the bottom of the telescopic tube for filling, thus enabling continuous filling and improving the stability of the filling process.
[0022] In this embodiment, an electric push rod 17 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer surface of the dispensing tray 6. A connecting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 17. A telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the bottom outer surface of the feeding tube 11. One end of the connecting plate 18 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic tube. Specifically, the telescopic tube is moved by the electric push rod 17 so that one end of the telescopic tube is located at the bottle mouth of the filling bottle.
[0023] In this embodiment, the distance between the bottom of the storage tube 4 and the guide groove 9 is greater than the length of a single capsule but less than the length of two capsules. Specifically, the above-mentioned technical solution is adopted so that the bottommost capsule is located between the storage tube 4 and the guide groove 9.
[0024] In this embodiment, an infrared transmitter is installed on the top outer surface of the filling rack 3, and four infrared receivers arranged in a circular array are installed on the bottom outer surface of the filling tray 13. The first motor 7, the second motor 14, the infrared transmitter, and the infrared receivers are all electrically connected to an external controller. Specifically, when the infrared transmitter sends infrared light, the infrared receiver receives the infrared light and sends a signal to the controller. The controller receives the signal and controls the operation of the second motor 14.
[0025] In this embodiment, a C-shaped groove is provided on the outer surface of the feeding rod 8. Specifically, by providing the C-shaped groove, the feeding rod 8 rotates to the capsule and contacts the capsule through the C-shaped groove, thus stably moving the capsule.
[0026] In this embodiment, the width of the guide groove 9 is smaller than the thickness of the capsule. Specifically, the width of the guide groove 9 is smaller than the thickness of the capsule, so that the capsule can be stably positioned on the guide groove 9.
[0027] Working Principle: In use, the capsules are placed in the vibrating plate 1. The vibrating plate 1 vibrates and arranges the capsules, which then enter the first funnel 5 and vertically into the storage tube 4 for storage. The first motor 7 drives the feeding rod 8 to rotate until it contacts the bottommost capsule, causing it to slide inside the guide groove 9. The electric push rod 17 drives the telescopic tube to align with the bottle opening. When the capsules come into contact with the second funnel 10, they enter the discharge tube 11 through the second funnel 10 and then into the filling bottle through the telescopic tube. This ensures that each capsule enters the filling bottle precisely and aligns with the bottle opening, preventing capsules from falling outside the bottle during filling. The controller controls the number of rotations of the feeding rod 8 driven by the first motor 7 to quantitatively fill the capsules.
[0028] After the capsules in a bottle are filled, the second motor 14 drives the drive gear 15 to rotate. The drive gear 15 drives the driven gear 16 to rotate, causing the support shaft 12 to rotate. This causes the filling disc 13 to rotate the bottle. When the infrared transmitter sends infrared light, the infrared receiver receives the infrared light and sends a signal to the controller. The controller receives the signal and causes the second motor 14 to stop working. The unfilled bottles rotate to the bottom of the telescopic tube for filling, thus enabling continuous filling and improving the stability of the filling process.
[0029] The controller is an existing structure, and the control circuit can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. It is common knowledge in the field. It is only used and not modified. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
