Abstract

In an appts. for filling hard gelatine capsules with powder, using a filling disc above and partly covering a metering disc, both discs having bores for the reception of the powder to be filled which are aligned for the delivery of the powder plugs, produced in the bores of the filling disc, to the bores of the metering disc in specific rest positions of the intermittently rotated discs, the bores of the metering disc have vols. which can be changed. As compared with known capsule-filling machines in which a different metering disc is required for each change in powder vol. only one metering disc need be used over a range of powder vols. by a simple and rapid adjustment.

Beim Abfüllen von Pulver oder dgl. in Hartgelatinekapseln wurde bisher eine mit entsprechenden Bohrungen versehene Dosierscheibe verwendet, die in ihrer· Höhe dem jeweils abzufüllenden Pulvervolumen angepaßt wurde. Somit mußte also für jede abzufüllende Pulvermenge eine entsprechende Dosierscheibe verwendet werden. Neben den verhältnismäßig hohen Kosten, die dann entstanden, wenn verschiedene Pulvervolumina abzufüllen waren und somit eine Vielzahl von Dosierscheiben erforderlich wurden, ergab sich ein weiterer Nachteil dadurch, daß sich bei jedem Wechsel auf ein anderes Pulvervolumen ein Auswechseln der Dosierscheiben erforderlich wurde. Durch diesen relativ hohen Umbauaufwand ergeben sich weitere Kosten und ferner ergibt sich der Nachteil des Maschinenstillstandes während dieser Zeit.When filling powder or the like into hard gelatin capsules, one with appropriate bores was previously provided Dosing disc used, the height of which corresponds to the one to be filled Powder volume was adjusted. Thus, a corresponding metering disk had to be used for each amount of powder to be filled be used. In addition to the relatively high costs that arise when different powder volumes had to be filled and therefore a large number of metering disks were required, there was a further disadvantage, that with each change to a different powder volume it was necessary to change the metering disks. Through this Relatively high conversion costs result in further costs and there is also the disadvantage of machine downtime During this time.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die vorstehenden Nachteile zu beheben und eine einfache und schnell verstellbare Pulverdosierung für Hartgelatinekapsel-Füllmaschinen mit umlaufenden Füll- und Dosierscheiben zu schaffen.The invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating the above disadvantages and a simple and quickly adjustable one To create powder dosing for hard gelatine capsule filling machines with revolving filling and dosing disks.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß eine Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen, bei der die Bohrungen der Dosierscheibe volumenveränderbar ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß ein Auswechseln der Dosierscheiben nicht mehrIn order to achieve this object, a device is provided according to the invention proposed in which the bores of the metering disc are designed to be variable in volume. This results in the advantage that it is no longer necessary to change the metering disks

The change in volume of the holes in the The metering disc can be done by means of a tappet or the like that can be moved into the bores from below. ■ ".

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.

Wie die Zeichnung erkennen läßt, ist eine Füllscheibe 1 vorgesehen, die im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel den Boden eines Füllbehälters 2 bildet; In der Füllscheibe 1 sind eine oder mehrere Bohrungen 3 vorgesehen, in die das im Müllbehälter 2 befindliche Pulver mit Hilfe von nicht dargestellten Stempeln hineingepreßt wird. Unterhalb der Füllscheibe 1 befindet sich eine Dosierscheibe 5» die ebenfalls eine oder mehrere Bohrungen 6 aufweist. Unterhalb der Bohrungen 6 sind Stößel 7 angeordnet, die in die Bohrungen 6 hineinbewegbar ausgebildet sind. In einem anderen Bereich ist unterhalb der Dosierscheibe 5 ein Kapselträger 8 angeordnet, der eine oder mehrere Bohrungen 9 zur Aufnahme von Hartge"atinekapselunterteilen 10 enthält. Im Überdeckungsbereich der Bohrungen 6 der Scheibe 5 und der Bohrungen 9 des Kapselträgers 8 sind oberhalb der Dosierscheibe 5 Stempel 11 vorgesehen.As the drawing shows, a filling disk 1 is provided, which in the present embodiment forms the bottom of a filling container 2; In the filling disc 1 are a or several bores 3 are provided, into which the powder located in the refuse container 2 with the aid of not shown Stamp is pressed into it. Below the filling disk 1 there is a metering disk 5 »which also has an or has several bores 6. Plungers 7, which can be moved into the bores 6, are arranged below the bores 6 are trained. In another area, a capsule carrier 8 is arranged below the metering disk 5, the one or several holes 9 for receiving Hartge "atinekapselunterteile 10 contains. In the overlap area of the bores 6 of the disk 5 and the bores 9 of the capsule carrier 8 are above the metering disc 5 punch 11 is provided.

Die Wirkungsweise der Vorrichtung ist folgende:The device works as follows:

Das Füllen der Bohrungen 3 der Füllscheibe 1 erfolgt außerhalb des Überdeckungsbereiches der Füllscheibe .1 mit der Dosierscheibe 5 an einer nicht dargestellten Stelle, an der die Bohrungen 3 durch bekannte Mittel von unten abgedeckt sind. Zum Verdichten des Pulvers innerhalb der Bohrungen 3 sind in diesem Bereich nicht dargestellte, bekannte Stempel vorgesehen, die innerhalb der Bohrungen 3 Pulverpfropfen 31 bilden. Nach Füllung einer entsprechenden Anzahl Bohrungen wird die Füllscheibe 1 weiterbewegt bis die Bohrungen 3 die Bohrungen 6 der Do si er scheibe 5 überdecken. Mit Hilfe von Stempeln 4 erfolgt dann das Hineinschieben der Pulverpfropfen 31 in die Bohrungen 6, wobei je nach Stellung der Stößel 7 die Pulverpfropfen 31 mehr oder weniger tief in die Bohrungen 6 hineingeschoben werden. Beim Weiterbewegen der Scheibe 5 werden die Pulverpfropfen 31 abgeschert, so daß nur das gewünschte Volumen in den Bohrungen 6 verbleibt. Im Überdekkungsbereich der Bohrungen 6 mit den Bohrungen 9 des Kapselträgers 8 werden die Pulverpfropfen 31 mit Hilfe der Stempel 11 in die Hartgelatinekapselunterteile 10 hineingeschoben. Die so gefüllten Hartgelatinekapselunterteile 10 werden dann einer nicht dargestellten Station zugeführt, an der die gefüllten Hartgelatinekapselunterteile 10 durch Aufsetzen der entsprechenden -Oberteile verschlossen werden.The filling of the holes 3 of the filling disk 1 takes place outside of the overlap area of the filling disk .1 with the Dosing disc 5 at a point not shown, at which the holes 3 are covered by known means from below. To compress the powder inside the holes 3 Known punches (not shown) are provided in this area, which 3 powder plugs 31 within the bores form. After filling a corresponding number of holes, the filling disc 1 is moved on until the holes 3 the Cover the holes 6 of the dosing disk 5. The powder plugs are then pushed in with the aid of punches 4 31 in the bores 6, depending on the position of the plunger 7 the Powder plugs 31 are pushed more or less deeply into the bores 6. When moving the disc 5 the powder plug 31 sheared off, so that only the desired Volume in the holes 6 remains. In the coverage area the bores 6 with the bores 9 of the capsule carrier 8 are the powder plugs 31 with the help of the punch 11 pushed into the hard gelatine capsule lower parts 10. The hard gelatin capsule lower parts 10 filled in this way are then fed to a station (not shown) at which the filled hard gelatin capsule lower parts 10 are placed on top the corresponding upper parts are closed.

Das Hineinbewegen der Stößel 7 in die Bohrungen 6 der
Dosierscheibe 5 kann über bekannte, nicht näher zu beschreibende Mittel entweder durch Einzel- oder Zentralverstellung erfolgen. Bei einer Zentralverstellung ergibt sich der Vorteil einer sehr schnellen Verstellung des Abfüllvolumens.
Moving the plunger 7 into the bores 6 of the
Metering disk 5 can be done by means of known means, not to be described in more detail, either by individual or central adjustment. With a central adjustment there is the advantage of a very quick adjustment of the filling volume.
