In recent years, with continuous technological advancements, more and more modern capsule filling equipment has been applied to the drug production process to improve production efficiency and the stability of drug quality.

[0003] Currently, common capsule filling devices employ continuous conveying from a storage silo to automatically transport drug granules into the capsules. These devices typically use vibration or rotary feeding mechanisms, employing structures such as feeding plates and conveying pipes to deliver the drug granules into the capsules. During operation, the drug granules are sequentially fed through various conveying stages into the preset channels of the fixed plate, thereby driving the drug granules into the capsule tray, thus completing the capsule filling.

[0004] Traditional capsule filling mechanisms have a relatively simple design. Drug particles need to be transported through multiple stages and filled into the capsule one by one, which makes the delivery of drug particles unstable, difficult to quantify or deliver efficiently, and results in low overall production efficiency. Consequently, it is difficult to meet the requirements of the modern pharmaceutical industry for high efficiency and high precision. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a convenient capsule filling mechanism, including a storage bin 1, a feeding plate 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage bin 1, a fixed seat 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding plate 2, a conveying pipe 4 fixedly connected to the inside of the feeding plate 2, a fixed plate 5 rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed seat 3, a plurality of quantitative bins opened inside the fixed plate 5, a sealing feeding assembly provided on the upper surface of the fixed plate 5, the sealing feeding assembly being used to convey the medicine, a connecting seat 8 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed seat 3, a capsule tray 11 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting seat 8, a feeding assembly provided inside the connecting seat 8, the feeding assembly being used to convey the medicine into the inside of the capsule tray 11, a motor 12 fixedly connected inside the connecting seat 8, a rotating shaft 13 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12, and the lower side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 13 fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed plate 5;

[0026] The sealing feeding assembly includes an elastic sealing gasket 16, the lower surface of which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the material station 5, and a guide plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material station 5. The feeding assembly includes a conveying nozzle 9, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting seat 8, and an elastic sealing gasket 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying nozzle 9.

[0027] Specifically, the drug granules are first placed inside the storage silo 1, which serves as the main storage area for the drug granules. The silo 1 then conveys the drug granules to the feeding plate 2, which has multiple channels. The drug granules are precisely conveyed through these channels to the inside of the conveying pipe 4, and further conveyed through the conveying pipe 4 to the stationary plate 5. The stationary plate 5 has multiple pre-set channels. When the drug granules enter the stationary plate 5, the tight fit between the through-hole at the bottom of the stationary plate 5 and the inner wall of the fixing seat 3 effectively prevents leakage. After the channels of the stationary plate 5 are filled, the motor 12 starts, driving the rotating shaft 13. The rotation of the fixed plate 5 within the fixed base 3 causes the elastic sealing gasket 6 to move, sealing the conveying pipe 4 and preventing drug particles from leaking through. During the 45-degree rotation of the fixed plate 5, the through-hole at its bottom moves above the conveying nozzle 9. At this point, the drug particles can smoothly enter the conveying nozzle 9 through the guide plate 7. With the assistance of the conveying nozzle 9, the drug particles are conveyed into the capsules within the capsule tray 11, thus achieving simultaneous automatic filling of multiple capsules, greatly improving production efficiency and the accuracy of drug filling.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A gearbox 14 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 13. The gearbox 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed base 3. The output end of the gearbox 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 15. The outer wall of the connecting shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the inside of the corresponding feeding plate 2. A stirring assembly is provided at the top of the connecting shaft 15. The stirring assembly is used to disperse the medicine to avoid blockage. The stirring assembly includes a sealing bearing 16. The inner ring of the sealing bearing 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shaft 15. A stirring blade 17 is fixedly connected at one end of the connecting shaft 15. The upper surface of the first elastic sealing gasket 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed base 3 and the bottom of the conveying pipe 4. The first elastic sealing gasket 6 is used to prevent the medicine from leaking out of the conveying pipe 4. The upper surface of the second elastic sealing gasket 10 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the fixed plate 5. The second elastic sealing gasket 10 is used to prevent the medicine from leaking out of the fixed plate 5. A bracket 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed base 3. The upper surface of the bracket 18 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the storage bin 1. The outer ring of the sealing bearing 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding plate 2. The sealing bearing 16 is used to assist the rotation of the connecting shaft 15.

[0029] Specifically, the motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, and the other end of the rotating shaft 13 drives the gearbox 14 to rotate. The gearbox 14 drives the connecting shaft 15 to rotate by adjusting the speed. The top of the connecting shaft 15 is fitted with a sealed bearing 16, thereby driving the stirring blade 17 to rotate at the connection between the feeding plate 2 and the storage bin 1. The rotation of the stirring blade 17 can effectively disperse the drug particles, preventing the particles from clumping or blocking during the conveying process due to moisture, adhesion, or irregular shape. This ensures that the drug particles can enter the conveying pipe 4 evenly and smoothly and finally be conveyed to the fixed plate 5. This can greatly improve the stability of feeding, reduce downtime, and ensure the quantitative filling of drug particles. It can also prevent equipment failure or production interruption caused by particle blockage, effectively improve the continuous working capacity and overall production efficiency of the equipment, solve the common blockage problem of traditional filling equipment, and has significant practical value.

[0030] Working principle: When a convenient capsule filling mechanism is needed, the drug granules are first placed inside the storage bin 1. Then, the drug granules are conveyed to the inside of the feeding plate 2 through the storage bin 1. At this time, the drug granules are conveyed to the inside of the conveying pipe 4 through the channel inside the feeding plate 2, and then to the inside of the fixed plate 5 through the conveying pipe 4. At this time, because the through hole at the bottom of the fixed plate 5 fits against the inner wall of the fixed seat 3, leakage of drug granules can be prevented. When the inside of the fixed plate 5 is full of drug, the motor 12 is started to drive the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed plate 5 to rotate inside the fixed seat 3. During this process, while the fixed plate 5 is moving... This will cause the elastic sealing gasket 6 to move together, thereby causing the elastic sealing gasket 6 to shrink and fit against one end of the conveying pipe 4 through the pressure applied by the fixed seat 3 and the conveying pipe 4, thus sealing the conveying pipe 4. When the fixed plate 5 rotates 45 degrees, the through hole at the bottom of the fixed plate 5 can be moved to the top of the conveying nozzle 9. At this time, the fixed plate 5 is no longer restricted, and the drug particles are conveyed to the inside of the conveying nozzle 9 through the guide plate 7. Then, the drug particles are conveyed to the capsule inside the capsule tray 11 through the conveying nozzle 9, realizing automatic multi-group feeding. During this process, the elastic sealing gasket 10 at the top of the conveying nozzle 9 can also prevent leakage when the fixed plate 5 moves again.

[0031] In addition, while the motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, it also drives the gearbox 14 to rotate through one end of the rotating shaft 13. The gearbox 14 then changes speed and drives the connecting shaft 15 to rotate. The top of the connecting shaft 15, in conjunction with the sealed bearing 16, drives the stirring blade 17 to rotate at the connection between the feeding plate 2 and the storage bin 1. The rotation of the stirring blade 17 then stirs the drug particles during the feeding process, preventing the drug particles from clogging.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
