Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soft capsule molding, and in particular to a high-efficiency compression molding device for lycopene vitamin E soft capsules. Background Technology
[0002] Lycopene is a carotenoid with powerful antioxidant capabilities, mainly found in fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes; its unique conjugated double bond structure enables it to effectively quench singlet oxygen and eliminate free radicals, thus providing health benefits; soft capsules can encapsulate lycopene and vitamin E simultaneously, reducing their contact with harmful external factors;
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent discloses a high-efficiency soft capsule compression molding machine (application number: 2023205808118). This application uses two second motors to drive the brush roller to rotate and sweep the soft capsule particles off the mold roller, thereby facilitating the demolding of the formed soft capsules.
[0004] However, the above application only uses a brush roller to feed the soft capsules into the mold roller. In actual use, the soft capsules are not air-dried when they are first formed, so they are more likely to stick to the mold roller. When cleaning with a brush roller alone, the softer brush bristles are not easy to sweep the soft capsules off, while the harder brush bristles are easy to puncture the soft capsules and cause leakage. It is difficult to achieve the dual mechanism to simultaneously assist in feeding the soft capsules.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, a solution is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency compression molding device for lycopene vitamin E soft capsules to solve the aforementioned technical defects.
[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0012] Furthermore, each of the adjacent ends of the telescopic shaft is provided with a fixedly connected push block, and each of the adjacent ends of the telescopic shaft is fixedly provided with a second telescopic spring.
[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the solution feeding box are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell, and guide rollers are provided on both sides of the shell. The guide rollers are rotatably connected to the shell. Mold rollers are also provided on both sides of the solution feeding box. The mold rollers are rotatably connected to the shell. A second spur gear is fixedly provided on the shaft at one end of the mold roller after passing through the shell. The second spur gears at one end of the two mold rollers mesh with each other.
[0014] Furthermore, the drive shaft of the stepper motor is provided with a first spur gear fixedly connected to the end, the first spur gear meshing with the second spur gear, and a third spur gear fixedly connected to the outer side of the extension shaft, the third spur gear meshing with the second spur gear, and a fourth spur gear meshing on one side of the third spur gear.
[0015] Furthermore, each of the fourth spur gears is fixedly connected to the shaft at one end of the brush roller. The brush roller is located inside the housing and is rotatably connected to the housing. The brush on the outside of the brush roller is in contact with the outer surface of the mold roller.
[0016] Furthermore, the mold roller has a cavity inside, and the mold roller also has axially distributed forming holes on its outer side.

[0017] The shaft at one end of the fan mounting bracket passes through the mold roller and is fixedly connected to the housing. An array of electric fans is fixedly installed inside the fan mounting bracket.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] This invention utilizes a solution feeding box, a stepper motor, and an electric fan. When the solution feeding box is activated, it conveys the lycopene vitamin E solution between the gel sheets. Subsequently, the stepper motor drives the first spur gear to rotate, which in turn drives one of the second spur gears. The rotation of one of the second spur gears drives the other second spur gear to rotate in the opposite direction at the same speed, thereby compressing the gel sheets and lycopene vitamin E solution between the second spur gears into soft capsules. When the electric fan is activated, it blows air into the forming hole, thereby blowing the soft capsules stuck in the forming hole after forming. At the same time, the second spur gear drives the brush roller to rotate through the third and fourth spur gears. The brush roller sweeps the soft capsules that have loosened after being blown into the forming hole of the mold roller, thus completing the dual-mechanism feeding operation of the soft capsules.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this utility model is a high-efficiency compression molding device for lycopene vitamin E soft capsules, including a shell 1. A motor mounting plate 11 is fixed to one side of the shell 1 by bolts. An extension shaft 12 is also fixed to one side of the shell 1. A symmetrically distributed insertion hole 13 is also opened on one side of the shell 1.
[0030] Rotary feeding mechanisms 2 are provided at both ends of the interior of the housing 1. The rotary feeding mechanism 2 includes symmetrically distributed rotating plates 21. The rotating plates 21 are located inside the housing 1 and are rotatably connected to the housing 1. The rotating plates 21 are fixedly connected to each other by a connecting shaft 22. The interior of each rotating plate 21 is provided with axially distributed sliding grooves 23. A limiting hole is provided inside one end of the sliding groove 23. A rotating handle 24 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the rotating plates 21. A slidingly connected plug 25 is provided inside the rotating handle 24. A first telescopic spring 26 is fixedly connected between the rotating handle 24 and the plug 25. One end of the plug 25 is inserted into the insertion hole 13 to limit the rotation plate 21.
[0031] The slide groove 23 is also equipped with a slidingly fitted rotating mounting shaft 27. Both ends of the rotating mounting shaft 27 are equipped with a slidingly connected telescopic shaft 28. The outer side of the adjacent ends of the telescopic shaft 28 is equipped with a fixedly connected push block 29. The adjacent ends of the telescopic shaft 28 are fixedly equipped with a second telescopic spring 30. When it is necessary to remove the rotating mounting shaft 27 from between the rotating plates 21, press the two push blocks 29 with both hands and push the push blocks 29 inward. At this time, one end of the push block 29 slides out from the limiting hole, and the rotating mounting shaft 27 can be taken out from the slide groove 23 for loading and unloading.
[0032] A pressing feeding mechanism 4 is provided between the rotating feeding mechanism 2. The pressing feeding mechanism 4 includes a solution feeding box 41. Both ends of the solution feeding box 41 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. Guide rollers 42 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. The guide rollers 42 are rotatably connected to the housing 1. Mold rollers 46 are also provided on both sides of the solution feeding box 41. The mold rollers 46 are rotatably connected to the housing 1. A second spur gear 45 is fixedly provided after the shaft of one end of the mold roller 46 passes through the housing 1. The second spur gears 45 at one end of the two mold rollers 46 mesh with each other.
[0033] A stepper motor 43 is also fixedly mounted on the top of the motor mounting plate 11 by bolts. The drive shaft of the stepper motor 43 is fixedly connected to a first spur gear 44, which meshes with a second spur gear 45. A third spur gear 47 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the extension shaft 12, which meshes with the second spur gear 45. A fourth spur gear 48 is meshed on one side of each third spur gear 47, and each fourth spur gear 48 is fixedly connected to the shaft at one end of the brush roller 49.
[0034] The brush roller 49 is located inside the housing 1 and is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The brush on the outside of the brush roller 49 is in contact with the outer side of the mold roller 46. When the stepper motor 43 starts, it drives the first spur gear 44 to rotate. When the first spur gear 44 rotates, it drives one of the second spur gears 45 to rotate. When one of the second spur gears 45 rotates, it drives the other second spur gear 45 to rotate in the same speed but in the opposite direction. The second spur gear 45 drives the brush roller 49 to rotate through the third spur gear 47 and the fourth spur gear 48, thereby sweeping the soft capsules in the mold roller 46 off.
[0035] The mold roller 46 has a cavity inside, and the mold roller 46 also has axially distributed forming holes on the outside. The bottom of each forming hole has a through hole that communicates with the cavity. The mold roller 46 also has a fan mounting bracket 50 that is rotatably connected inside. The shaft at one end of the fan mounting bracket 50 passes through the mold roller 46 and is fixedly connected to the housing 1. An array of electric fans 51 is fixedly installed inside the fan mounting bracket 50.
[0036] The working process and principle of this utility model are as follows:
[0037] In use, first place the gel roll outside the rotating mounting shaft 27, then insert the telescopic shafts 28 at both ends of the rotating mounting shaft 27 into the limiting holes in the slide groove 23 to fix the gel roll. Then pull one end of the plug 25 out of the insertion hole 13, and then rotate the rotating plate 21 180 degrees until the two telescopic shafts 28 with gel rolls are close to one end of the pressing and feeding mechanism 4. Then, pull out the gel sheets from the two gel rolls, guide them through the guide roller 42, and insert them between the mold rollers 46. Figure 4 As shown;
[0038] At this time, the solution feeding box 41, stepper motor 43 and electric fan 51 are started. When the solution feeding box 41 is started, it conveys the lycopene vitamin E solution in it to the gel sheets. Then the stepper motor 43 drives the first spur gear 44 to rotate. When the first spur gear 44 rotates, it drives one of the second spur gears 45 to rotate. When one of the second spur gears 45 rotates, it drives the other second spur gear 45 to rotate in the opposite direction at the same speed, thereby pressing the gel sheets and lycopene vitamin E solution between the mold rollers 46 into soft capsules.
[0039] When the electric fan 51 is started, it blows air into the forming hole, thereby blowing the soft capsule stuck in the forming hole after forming. At the same time, the second spur gear 45 drives the brush roller 49 to rotate through the third spur gear 47 and the fourth spur gear 48. The brush roller 49 sweeps the soft capsule that has been loosened by the air blowing into the forming hole of the mold roller 46, thereby completing the soft capsule unloading operation.
