Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule detection technology, specifically to a device for detecting coated soft capsules of tetraene-menaquinone. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the sampling and testing of powder content in products such as tetraene-menaquinone soft capsules still heavily relies on manual operation. Operators must manually separate the capsule cap from the capsule body; however, the slight tremors of the hands and the instability of the operation during manual processing easily lead to powder spillage. Taking tetraene-menaquinone soft capsules as an example, its powder components are special and precious. Once spilled, it not only wastes the medicine, but more importantly, it seriously interferes with the accuracy of the test data on the quality of the powder inside the capsule, making the test results unable to truly reflect the actual powder content of the product.

[0003] Meanwhile, the manual separation of capsules is an extremely tedious process, requiring workers to repeat mechanical actions for extended periods, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency. According to relevant statistics, in a typical pharmaceutical production batch, the time spent on manually sampling the amount of powder in capsules accounts for a significant proportion of the entire quality inspection process, greatly impacting production efficiency and the timeliness of quality control.

[0004] Furthermore, when manually pouring the powder from inside the capsule into the testing container, operators often find it difficult to detect whether any powder remains inside the capsule due to the lack of effective auxiliary testing methods. For tetraene-menaquinone soft capsules, even a very small amount of powder residue can lead to deviations in test results due to various reactions in subsequent testing procedures, thereby affecting the judgment of whether the product quality is up to standard and posing a potential risk to drug quality and safety.

[0005] As the pharmaceutical industry continues to raise its product quality requirements and expand its production scale, the traditional method of manually sampling and checking the amount of powder in capsules is becoming increasingly difficult to meet the needs of efficient and accurate quality testing. There is an urgent need for an automated and intelligent testing device that can overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks to improve the current situation.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a detection device for coated soft capsules of tetraene-menaquinone to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] (I) Technical problem to be solved: In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a soft capsule detection device for tetraene-menaquinone soft capsules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] (II) Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a soft capsule detection device for tetraene-menaquinone soft capsules, comprising a detection platform, a vertical guide rail fixedly connected to the detection platform, a horizontal guide rail fixedly connected to the detection platform, the vertical guide rail and the horizontal guide rail being distributed in a cross shape, and a position adjustment control being slidably connected to the vertical guide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the position adjustment control has a through-type wave-shaped channel, and an electric telescopic driver is fixedly connected to the detection platform. The output end of the electric telescopic driver is fixedly connected to the position adjustment control.

[0010] Preferably, a movable component is slidably connected to the transverse guide rail, and a sliding column is fixedly connected to the movable component, the sliding column sliding within the wavy channel.

[0011] Preferably, an auxiliary guide plate is fixedly connected to the end of the moving member away from the sliding column, and a straight groove is formed through the auxiliary guide plate.

[0012] Preferably, the detection platform is symmetrically fixedly connected with side plates, the two side plates are distributed on both sides of the moving part, and the side plates are provided with bending grooves.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting rod is inserted into the straight groove, a flat plate is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, a rotating electric drive is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting rod, a negative pressure suction shell is fixedly connected to the rotating electric drive, and a capsule shell is disposed inside the negative pressure suction shell.

[0014] Preferably, the flat plate is fixedly connected to semi-circular columns at equal intervals on its inclined surface.

[0015] Preferably, an external protrusion is fixedly connected inside the bending groove.

[0016] Preferably, the testing platform has a square opening, and a receiving box is placed inside the square opening above the testing platform.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a detection device for coated soft capsules of tetraene-menaquinone, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, through its design, can bring the following benefits: Improved testing accuracy: The automated device can accurately separate the capsule shell, avoiding the problem of powder spillage caused by hand tremors and uneven force during manual operation. This ensures the accuracy of the powder quality test data inside the capsule, and makes the test results more realistically reflect the actual situation of the product. Improved work efficiency: This device can quickly and continuously separate capsule shells, which greatly shortens the sampling time and improves work efficiency compared to manual separation. It can meet the needs of rapid product testing in large-scale production, help speed up the production process and improve overall production efficiency. Avoiding human error: The device operates according to preset programs and parameters, exhibiting high consistency and stability. This avoids human-specific errors that occur during manual operation, ensuring the separation effect of each capsule and the reliability of the test results, and improving the consistency and repeatability of product quality control. Improved resource utilization: Reduced powder spillage avoids drug waste, improves raw material utilization, and lowers production costs. At the same time, accurate test results help to identify problems in the production process in a timely manner, avoiding the scrapping of the entire batch of products due to inaccurate powder dosage, further saving resources and costs.

[0018] 2. By adding a semi-circular column and an outward protrusion, this utility model can bring the following benefits to the overall operation: Improving the integrity of powder collection and ensuring detection accuracy: In traditional capsule powder detection, powder tends to adhere to the inner wall of the capsule shell, resulting in insufficient sample volume and affecting the accuracy of results. The semi-circular bar and the external protrusion work together to separate the powder from the inner wall of the detection platform through vibration. For drugs with precisely defined ingredients, such as tetraene-menaquinone soft capsules, this ensures no powder residue, allowing the detection data to accurately reflect the product dosage, reducing misjudgments caused by powder residue, and improving the accuracy of drug quality control. Improved consistency in testing: This design ensures that the powder collection of each capsule is consistent, avoiding excessive dispersion in test results due to differences in powder residue in some capsules; whether it is small-batch sampling or large-scale production testing, it can ensure that the integrity of samples tested each time is similar, providing a reliable basis for drug quality stability assessment and helping to establish standardized testing procedures.

[0021] 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.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown: A device for detecting coated soft capsules of tetraene-menaquinone includes a detection platform 1, a vertical guide rail 2 and a horizontal guide rail 3 fixedly connected to the detection platform 1, the vertical guide rail 2 and the horizontal guide rail 3 being arranged in a cross shape, a position adjustment control 4 slidably connected to the vertical guide rail 2, the position adjustment control 4 having a through-hole wavy channel 5, an electric telescopic actuator 6 fixedly connected to the detection platform 1, the output end of the electric telescopic actuator 6 being fixedly connected to the position adjustment control 4, a moving part 7 slidably connected to the horizontal guide rail 3, a sliding column 8 fixedly connected to the moving part 7, the sliding column 8 sliding within the wavy channel 5, and an auxiliary guide fixedly connected to the end of the moving part 7 away from the sliding column 8. A straight groove 10 is formed through the guide plate 9. Side plates 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the detection platform 1. The two side plates 11 are distributed on both sides of the moving part 7. A bending groove 12 is formed through the side plates 11. A connecting rod 13 is inserted into the straight groove 10. A flat plate 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 13. A rotating electric drive component 15 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting rod 13. A negative pressure suction shell 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating electric drive component 15. A capsule shell 17 is set inside the negative pressure suction shell 16. Semi-circular strip columns 18 are fixedly fixedly connected at equal intervals on the inclined surface of the flat plate 14. An outward protrusion 19 is fixedly connected inside the bending groove 12. A square strip opening is formed on the detection platform 1. A receiving box 20 is placed in the strip opening above the detection platform 1.

[0024] in: The bending groove 12 is divided into a transverse groove and an oblique groove, which are connected to each other. The transverse groove is used to assist the flat plate 14 to move laterally in the groove, and to indirectly assist the lateral movement of the negative pressure suction shell 16 connected to the connecting rod 13 and the rotating electric drive component 15, thereby realizing the separation of the shell of the capsule shell 17 connected to the opposite side.

[0025] The negative pressure suction shell 16 mainly uses negative pressure to adsorb and fix the capsule shell 17 inside, thereby facilitating the separation of the oppositely snapped capsule shell 17.

[0026] The semi-circular bar 18 is mainly used in conjunction with the protruding part 19 to indirectly cause the powder inside the capsule shell 17 in the negative pressure suction shell 16 to vibrate, reducing the adhesion of the powder to the inner wall of the capsule shell 17, thereby ensuring that the powder falls off completely.

[0027] Working principle: In use, the complete capsule is first placed in the opposing negative pressure suction shell 16. At this time, each of the opposing negative pressure suction shells 16 contains half of the capsule. The negative pressure suction shell 16 is then controlled by the main control to adsorb the capsule shell 17. Then, the electric telescopic actuator 6 is activated to push the position adjustment control 4. Under this push, the position adjustment control 4 will move in the guide of the vertical guide rail 2. Since it is known that the sliding column 8 slides in the wave-shaped channel 5, during the movement of the position adjustment control 4, the moving part 7 will move laterally under the interaction of the sliding column 8 and the wave-shaped channel 5 on the position adjustment control 4. During this lateral movement, the symmetrical moving parts 7 will move away from each other. Furthermore, it is known that the bending groove 12 is divided into a transverse groove and an oblique groove, which are connected. The transverse groove is used to assist the flat plate 14 in moving laterally within the groove, and indirectly assists the lateral movement of the negative pressure suction shell 16 connected to the connecting rod 13 and the rotating electric drive component 15, thereby realizing the separation of the capsule shell 17 connected to the opposite side. Further, when the negative pressure suction shell 16 adsorbs and fixes the capsule shell 17 inside through negative pressure, and separates the snap-fit ​​capsule shell 17, the flat plate 14, originally located in the transverse groove of the bending groove 12, will gradually move into the transverse groove of the bending groove 12. The flat piece 14 moves and gradually approaches the inclined groove of the bending groove 12; when the flat piece 14 moves completely from the transverse groove of the bending groove 12 to the inclined groove of the bending groove 12, the two interlocking capsule shells 17 are completely separated; furthermore, as the flat piece 14 continues to move in the inclined groove of the bending groove 12, with the addition of the semi-circular bar 18 and the protruding part 19, the flat piece 14 will indirectly drive the capsule shell 17 in the negative pressure suction shell 16 to vibrate through the connecting rod 13 and the rotating electric drive part 15. During the vibration, the powder attached to the inner wall of the capsule shell 17 will fall into the capsule shell 17. Furthermore, when the flat plate 14 is completely moved to the bottom of the inclined groove of the bending groove 12, the rotating electric drive unit 15 will cause the negative pressure suction shell 16 to rotate. Under this rotation, the capsule shell 17 in the negative pressure suction shell 16 will pour the powder into the receiving box 20 on the detection platform 1, so as to facilitate the relevant personnel to detect and judge the amount of powder. Furthermore, the overall device design can effectively improve the accuracy of testing; that is, the automated device can accurately separate the capsule shell 17, avoiding the problem of powder spillage caused by hand tremors and uneven force during manual operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the powder quality test data inside the capsule, and making the test results more realistically reflect the actual situation of the product. Improved work efficiency: This device can quickly and continuously separate capsule shells 17. Compared with manual separation, it greatly shortens the sampling time, improves work efficiency, meets the needs of rapid product testing in large-scale production, helps to speed up the production process, and improves overall production efficiency. Avoiding human error: The device operates according to preset programs and parameters, exhibiting high consistency and stability. This avoids human-specific errors that occur during manual operation, ensuring the separation effect of each capsule and the reliability of the test results, and improving the consistency and repeatability of product quality control. Improved resource utilization: Reduced powder spillage avoids drug waste, improves raw material utilization, and lowers production costs. At the same time, accurate test results help to identify problems in the production process in a timely manner, avoiding the scrapping of the entire batch of products due to inaccurate powder dosage, further saving resources and costs.

[0028] Furthermore, the addition of the semi-circular column 18 and the external protrusion 19 effectively improves the integrity of powder collection and ensures detection accuracy. In traditional capsule powder detection, powder tends to adhere to the inner wall of the capsule shell 17, resulting in a lack of sample volume and affecting the accuracy of the results. The semi-circular column 18 and the external protrusion 19 work together to separate the powder from the inner wall of the detection platform 1 through vibration. For drugs with precise ingredients, such as tetraene-menaquinone soft capsules, this ensures no powder residue, allowing the detection data to accurately reflect the product dosage, reducing misjudgments caused by powder residue, and improving the accuracy of drug quality control. Improved consistency in testing: This design ensures that the powder collection of each capsule is consistent, avoiding excessive dispersion in test results due to differences in powder residue in some capsules; whether it is small-batch sampling or large-scale production testing, it can ensure that the integrity of samples tested each time is similar, providing a reliable basis for drug quality stability assessment and helping to establish standardized testing procedures.
