Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of capsule testing equipment, specifically to the capsule feeding module of a capsule testing machine. Background Technology
[0002] A crane is a multi-action lifting machine that vertically lifts and horizontally moves heavy objects within a certain range. It is also called a hoist. With the continuous development of my country's economy, the application scope and applicable fields of cranes are becoming wider and wider. There are many types of cranes, and the capsule unloading module of the capsule testing machine is one of them. Using the capsule unloading module of the capsule testing machine, the lifting capacity is strong, which can save labor, reduce the labor intensity of loading and unloading workers, and improve loading and unloading efficiency.
[0003] During the operation of the capsule testing machine, capsules need to be fed in an orderly manner through the feeding module. In the existing technology, when a large number of capsules accumulate, the slot of the capsule feeding module is prone to blockage, which affects the continuity and efficiency of capsule testing. Although the flip-plate structure can alleviate the blockage to some extent, the flip plate is in contact with and collides with a large number of capsules for a long time. During the continuous force flipping process, its connection parts are prone to deformation due to fatigue. The plate itself may also be bent or cracked due to material aging or local stress concentration. Once the flip plate is deformed, it will not only reduce the effect of moving and guiding the capsules, leading to an increase in the probability of blockage, but may also cause abnormal friction with other components due to structural misalignment, which will aggravate equipment wear.
[0004] To address this, we propose a capsule feeding module for a capsule testing machine that allows for quick flip-plate replacement, significantly reducing maintenance time and minimizing equipment downtime losses. Utility Model Content

[0018] 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.
[0019] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a capsule feeding module for a capsule testing machine, including a feeding bin 1, which serves as the core supporting body of the entire feeding module, used to accommodate and guide capsules to complete the feeding process. A dispensing assembly 3 is detachably connected to the top of the feeding bin 1; the two are quickly separated and assembled through a detachable structure, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement. A rotating dispensing plate 2 is rotatably connected to the discharge chute of the feeding bin 1. The rotating dispensing plate 2 can rotate circumferentially around its own mounting axis to achieve continuous capsule conveying. The dispensing bin 1... A flap assembly 5 is provided inside the trough, which works with the rotating feeding plate 2 to form an anti-clogging feeding structure. The outer side of the actuating plate 57 in the flap assembly 5 is in contact with the outer side of the rotating feeding plate 2. Power is transmitted through surface contact to ensure synchronous movement. Arc grooves 59 are provided on both sides of the outer side of the actuating plate 57. The inner wall of the arc groove 59 is smooth and the curvature is adapted to the shape of the capsule, which can guide the capsule to slide in an orderly manner. A limiting groove 4 is opened on the top left side of the feeding bin 1. The limiting groove 4 is a rectangular groove structure used to limit the installation position of the feeding assembly 3. The flap assembly 5 includes a fixed plate 51, which serves as the fixed reference component for the flap assembly 5 and supports the installation of other components. The fixed plate 51 is set inside the material discharge chute opened at the top of the discharge bin 1 and is stably fixed by interference fit or bolt connection. A limit plate 52 is set at the bottom of the fixed plate 51. The limit plate 52 is a long strip plate used to limit the movement range of the elastic plate 53. The elastic plate 53 is slidably connected inside the limit plate 52. The elastic plate 53 is made of elastic material. The elastic plate 53 is made of spring steel, which has excellent elastic recovery performance and fatigue strength. It can produce slight deformation under force to achieve buffering. The T-shaped plate at the top of the elastic plate 53 is slidably connected in the groove opened at the bottom of the limit plate 52. The T-shaped plate and the groove form a sliding guide structure to ensure that the elastic plate 53 moves along a fixed trajectory. A U-shaped locking block 54 is slidably connected to the bottom right side of the fixing plate 51. The U-shaped locking block 54 has a U-shaped opening structure and is used to lock and fix the elastic plate 53. The inner side of the U-shaped locking block 54 is slidably connected to the outside of the T-shaped plate at the top of the elastic plate 53. The lateral limit is achieved by the inner side wall fitting with the T-shaped plate. Four sliding posts 55 are provided on the left side of the U-shaped locking block 54. The sliding posts 55 have a cylindrical structure to enhance the connection stability between the U-shaped locking block 54 and the limiting plate 52. The outside of the sliding posts 55 is locked to the right side of the limiting plate 52. The locking structure can prevent the U-shaped locking block 54 from disengaging from the limiting plate 52. Two positioning posts 56 are provided on the rear bottom of the elastic plate 53. The positioning posts 56 are cylindrical protrusions used to accurately position the actuating plate 57. The actuating plate 57 is integrally injection molded from polyoxymethylene engineering plastic and its surface is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene, which has excellent wear resistance and self-lubricating properties. It can also reduce the coefficient of friction with the capsule and the rotating feeding plate 2, avoid scratching the capsule surface, and reduce component wear to extend service life. The external of the positioning posts 56 is slidably connected to the positioning hole at the top of the actuating plate 57. The actuating plate 57 can be detachably installed by clearance fit. Three connecting blocks 58 are provided on the front top of the actuating plate 57. The connecting blocks 58 are block-shaped protrusions used to enhance the connection strength between the actuating plate 57 and the elastic plate 53. The rear of the three connecting blocks 58 is engaged with the front bottom of the elastic plate 53. The engaging structure achieves initial fixation. The fixing bolts inside the connecting blocks 58 are threadedly connected to the front bottom of the elastic plate 53. The two are fixed by the thread tightening force.
[0020] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-3 The feeding assembly 3 includes an L-shaped sliding plate 31, which has an L-shaped bent structure to adapt to the installation requirements of the limiting groove 4. The outside of the L-shaped sliding plate 31 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 4 and can slide horizontally along the length of the limiting groove 4. A connecting plate 32 is provided on the top of the L-shaped sliding plate 31. The connecting plate 32 has a flat structure and is used to connect the L-shaped sliding plate 31 and the conical feed pipe 34. Two limiting T-shaped columns 33 are provided on the top of the feeding bin 1. The limiting T-shaped columns 33 have a T-shaped structure and are used to double limit the connecting plate 32. The two limiting T-shaped columns 33 are externally slidably connected in the grooves on the outside of the connecting plate 32. The grooves are adapted to the T-shaped columns to ensure smooth sliding. A conical feed pipe 34 is provided on the top of the connecting plate 32. The conical feed pipe 34 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which facilitates the collection and feeding of capsules. A discharge chamber 35 is provided on the top of the conical feed pipe 34. The discharge chamber 35 is a cavity structure with an open top, which is used to store capsules to be fed. Two fixing blocks 36 are provided at the bottom of the discharge chamber 35. The fixing blocks 36 are block-shaped structures, which are used to connect the discharge chamber 35 with the support column 6. Two support columns 6 are provided on the top of the discharge chamber 1. The support columns 6 are cylindrical or square columns, which are used to support the overall weight of the discharge assembly 3. The T-shaped slider at the top of the support column 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing block 36. The T-shaped slider is adapted to the groove of the fixing block 36 to achieve sliding adjustment. The inside of the fixing block 36 is slidably connected to a threaded column 37, which is a cylindrical structure with external threads, used to lock the fixing block 36 and the T-shaped slider. The outside of the threaded column 37 is slidably connected to the inside of the top T-shaped slider of the support column 6, passing through the fixing block 36 and the T-shaped slider to form a locking channel. The outside of the threaded column 37 is connected to a wing nut 38, which can be manually tightened without tools, improving the ease of disassembly and assembly.
[0021] Based on the above embodiments, the following is the complete working principle of the above embodiments: During the feeding stage, the operator pours the capsules to be tested into the feeding hopper 35 in batches. The capsules are gathered and guided by their own gravity through the conical structure of the conical feed pipe 34 and stably enter the feeding hopper 1. When it is necessary to disassemble, maintain or replace the feeding assembly 3, first loosen the wing nut 38 so that the threaded column 37 is pulled out from the T-shaped slider at the top of the support column 6 and the sliding channel of the fixing block 36. At this time, the connection between the fixing block 36 and the support column 6 is released. Then push the L-shaped sliding plate 31 so that it slides horizontally inside the limiting groove 4. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 32 slides synchronously along the outer groove of the limiting T-shaped column 33 until the L-shaped sliding plate 31 is completely disengaged from the limiting groove 4, thereby realizing the overall disassembly of the feeding assembly 3. The installation process is carried out in reverse. First, the L-shaped sliding plate 31 is inserted into the limiting groove 4, and the connecting plate 32 is inserted into the groove of the limiting T-shaped column 33 to achieve initial positioning. Then, the threaded column 37 is passed through the T-shaped slider at the top of the fixing block 36 and the support column 6, and the wing nut 38 is tightened. The fixing block 36 and the support column 6 are firmly fixed by the tightening action of the thread, thus completing the installation of the feeding assembly 3. The whole process is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and facilitates the maintenance and repair of the equipment. Driven by an external drive mechanism, the rotating feed plate 2 continuously rotates within the feeding chute of the feed bin 1. Since the outside of the rotating feed plate 2 is in contact with the outside of the actuating plate 57, the rotation of the rotating feed plate 2 pushes the actuating plate 57 to move synchronously. The actuating plate 57 slides with the positioning pin 56 at the bottom rear side of the elastic plate 53 through the positioning hole at its top. Simultaneously, the three connecting blocks 58 at its top front side engage with the bottom front side of the elastic plate 53, and the fixing bolts inside the connecting blocks 58 are threadedly connected to the elastic plate 53, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the actuating plate 57 and the elastic plate 53. The T-shaped plate at the top of the elastic plate 53 slides... The U-shaped locking block 54 is slidably connected to the outside of the T-shaped plate on the top of the elastic plate 53 in the sliding groove at the bottom of the limiting plate 52. The four sliding posts 55 on the left side of the U-shaped locking block 54 are engaged with the right side of the limiting plate 52. This structure limits and guides the sliding of the elastic plate 53, allowing it to reciprocate only along the direction of the sliding groove, ensuring a stable connection. When the agitator plate 57 moves with the rotating feed plate 2, the arc-shaped grooves 59 on both sides of its outer sides agitate and comb the capsules in the feed trough. Combined with the elastic buffering characteristics of the flip plate assembly 5, this effectively prevents capsules from accumulating in the feed trough. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating feed plate 2 and the reciprocating motion of the flip plate assembly 5 work together to continuously disperse and guide the capsules, ensuring that the capsules can be continuously and smoothly fed from the feed trough, providing a stable supply for the subsequent capsule testing process, greatly reducing the probability of capsule blockage, and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the capsule testing machine.
