Abstract

A device for automatic opening and emptying of incorrectly filled gelatin capsules 6, 7, which sometimes occur in the pharmaceutical industry, in order to recover their in most cases valuable content 14. The capsules 6, 7 are inserted in sequence and individually into a silicone rubber sleeve 8 (internal diameter smaller than the external diameter of the capsules 6, 7) which is cast into a metal casing 9 and which holds the capsules 6, 7 exclusively by friction. An identical sleeve 11, 12 is pushed over the second end of the capsule 6 or 7. By pulling the two sleeves 11, 12 and 8, 9 apart, the capsule halves 6, 7 are separated. After the content 14 of the capsule has been emptied into a separate container 15 by downward pivoting of the sleeves 11, 12 and 8, 9, the capsule halves 6, 7 are expelled through bores 19, 20 by means of compressed air. All the movements and the control of the automatic device can be effected both pneumatically and electrically. <IMAGE>

AT 397 764 B Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine, zum automatisierten öffnen und Entleeren von Geiatinekepseln, wie sie in der Pharmazeutik verwendet werden. Das Füllgut wird verschmutzungsfrei in einem Behälter gesammelt und von eventuell enthaltenen Pillen und, oder Kieinkapseln durch ein Sieb getrennt Wie In Flg.1, Schritt 1 ersichtlich ist; wird aus einem Behälter, in den die Kapseln (6,7) eingefülff $ werden, mittels eines in seiner Längsrichtung periodisch auf- und abbewegten, in den Behälter stoßenden Rohres (4), in welches sich die Kapseln (6,7) einordnen oder eines Rüttelförderers die Kapsel (6,7) in ein senkechtstehendes Rohr (3) geordnet. Das Umfallen der senkrechtstehenden Kapsel (6,7) und dadurch das Nachrutschen der nächsten Kapsel wird durch ein schwenkbares Blech (2) und durch den Umfegfinger (1) verhindert jo ln Schritt 2 legt der Umlegfinger (1) durch seine Längsbewegung die Kapsel (6,7) um und steckt sie in Schritt 3 bis zur Hälfte in die erste KautschukhQlse (8,9). Die Silikonkautschukhülse (8,9) wird mit der Kapsel(6,7) in Schritt 4, welcher als Aufriß dargestellt ist, zur zweiten Hülse (11,12) bewegt Die zweite Hülse (11,12) wird in Schritt 5 (ebenfalls äs Aufriß dargestellt) über die noch freie Hälfte (8 oder J5 7) der Kapsel (8,7) geschoben. . Durch die RQckwertsbewegung der zweiten Hülse (11,12) In Schritt 8 werden die, nur durch Reibung in den Hülsen gehaltenen Kapselhälften (8,7) voneinander getrennt. ln Schritt 7 werden beide Hülsen (8,9,10 /11,12,13) nach unten geschwenkt und die Kapselhäiften (6,7) dadurch entleert (eventuell auch mit Unterstützung einer Rüttelbewegung). Das Füllgut (14) wird in einem so Behälter (15) gesammelt Ue leeren Kapselhäiften (6.7) werden durch Aufbringung von Druckluft durch die Bohrung (19,20) ausgeblasen Oder durch einen Ausstoßstempel (21) ausgestoßen und gesondert in den Leerkapselbehälter (16) entsorgt Sämtliche Elemente werden wieder in die Ausgangstage gebracht und ein Zyklus damit beendet. In Fig.AT 397 764 B The invention relates to a machine for the automated opening and emptying of Geiatine kepsules, such as those used in pharmaceuticals. The contents are collected in a container free of contamination and separated from any pills and / or knee capsules that may be contained by a sieve, as can be seen in Flg. 1, step 1; is from a container into which the capsules (6, 7) are inserted, by means of a tube (4) which periodically moves up and down in its longitudinal direction and into which the capsules (6, 7) are arranged or the capsule (6,7) of a vibrating conveyor is arranged in a vertical pipe (3). The tilting of the vertical capsule (6, 7) and the subsequent slipping of the next capsule is prevented by a swiveling plate (2) and by the finger (1). In step 2, the folding finger (1) places the capsule (6 , 7) and in step 3 insert half of it into the first rubber sleeve (8,9). The silicone rubber sleeve (8, 9) is moved with the capsule (6, 7) in step 4, which is shown as an elevation, to the second sleeve (11, 12). The second sleeve (11, 12) is moved in step 5 (also as Shown in elevation) over the free half (8 or J5 7) of the capsule (8,7). . By the reverse movement of the second sleeve (11, 12) in step 8, the capsule halves (8, 7) held in the sleeves only by friction are separated from one another. In step 7, both sleeves (8,9,10 / 11,12,13) are swung down and the capsule halves (6,7) are thereby emptied (possibly with the help of a shaking movement). The filling material (14) is collected in a container (15) and empty capsule shafts (6.7) are blown out through the bore (19, 20) by applying compressed air or ejected through an ejection stamp (21) and separately into the empty capsule container (16). disposed of All elements are brought back to the starting days and a cycle is ended. In Fig. 2 sind die baugleichen Hülsen noch einmal genau dargestellt, welche aus den Metallhülsen (9,12) zs und den eingegossenen Silikonkautschuk (8,11) bestehen. Die Kapsel (6,7) wird In den Bohrungen (17,18) nur durch Reibung gehalten und nach Entleerung mittels Druckluft durch die Bohrungen (19,20) oder einen Ausstoßstempel (21) ausgestoßen. Es Ist nicht notwendig die Kapseln gerichtet (z£3: dickes Ende immer links) zuzuführen. Der Silikonkautschuk Ist elastisch genug, um bei konstantem Innendurchmesser sowohl des cficke als auch das dünne so Ende der Kapsel aufnehmen zu können. Sämtliche Bewegungen und die Steuerung können sowohl pneumatisch oder elektrisch realisiert werden. Durch auswechselbare Zuführung und Hülsen kann der Automat für verschiedene Kapselgrö ßen umgerüstet werden. Patentansprüche 35 1, Kapselöffnung»' und -entleerungsautomat zum Öffnen und Entleeren von gefüllten, vollverschlossenen Gelatlnekapseln (6,7), dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß a) die Kapseln (8,7) aus einem Behälter in ein senkrecht in den Behälter stoßendes Rohr (4) eingeordnet werden, 4o b&gt; die Kapseln (6,7) einzeln umgelegt und In eine in ein Metaligehäuse (8) gegossene Sitikonkaut- schukhütse (8). welche einen kleineren Innendurchmesser als die Kapsel (8,7) aufweist, gesteckt wird. c) eine zweite, baugleiche Siiikonkautschukhüise (11,12) über das andere Ende der Kapsel (6 oder 7) gesteckt wird, 4$ d) durch Auseinanderziehen der beiden Silikonkautschukhülsen (8,9 und 11,12), die die Kapselhälf ten (6,7) nur durch Reibungskräfte halten, dis Kapselkappe (7) von dem Kapaelkörper (6) getrennt wird, e) durch ein Schwenken der in den Kautschukhülsen (8Jä und 11.12) befindlichen Kapselhäiften (8,7) nach unten, das Füllgut (14) entleert und in einem Sammelbehälter (15) verunreinigungsfrei aufge- so fangen wird und f) die leeren Kapselhäiften (6,7) mittels Druckluft in einen Leerkapsetbehälter (16) ausgestoßen werden. Hiezu 2 Blatt Zeichnungen 55 22, the identical sleeves are shown again in detail, which consist of the metal sleeves (9, 12) zs and the cast-in silicone rubber (8, 11). The capsule (6, 7) is held in the bores (17, 18) only by friction and, after being emptied using compressed air, is expelled through the bores (19, 20) or an ejection stamp (21). It is not necessary to feed the capsules in a directed manner (z £ 3: thick end always on the left). The silicone rubber is elastic enough to accommodate both the cficke and the thin end of the capsule with a constant inner diameter. All movements and controls can be implemented pneumatically or electrically. The machine can be converted for different capsule sizes thanks to exchangeable feeders and sleeves. 35 1, capsule opening »'and -emptungsautomat for opening and emptying filled, fully closed Gelatlnekapseln (6,7), characterized in that a) the capsules (8,7) from a container into a tube pushing vertically into the container ( 4) be classified, 4o b &gt; the capsules (6,7) individually folded and into a Sitikon rubber case (8) poured into a metal housing (8). which has a smaller inner diameter than the capsule (8,7) is inserted. c) a second, identical silicone rubber sleeve (11, 12) is placed over the other end of the capsule (6 or 7), 4 $ d) by pulling apart the two silicone rubber sleeves (8, 9 and 11, 12) that hold the capsule halves ( 6.7) hold only by frictional forces, the capsule cap (7) is separated from the capsule body (6), e) by swiveling the capsule caps (8,7) in the rubber sleeves (8Jä and 11.12) downwards, the filling material ( 14) is emptied and collected in a collecting container (15) free of contamination and f) the empty capsule halves (6,7) are ejected into an empty capsule container (16) by means of compressed air.
