Definitions

  • the invention is based on a device for filling at least one metering chamber according to the preamble of the independent claim. From the DE 100 01 068 C1 already such a device for metering and dispensing powder in hard gelatin capsules or the like is known.
  • This device has a stepwise rotated dosing, in the bottom holes are formed, which cooperate with up and down movable stuffing dies.
  • the stuffing dies are arranged on a common stuffing die carrier and press the powder into compacts when immersed in the holes.
  • the carrier is moved up and down by means of columns. However, only limited stuffing forces can be generated.
  • the length of Stopfhubs can only vary by changing the mechanics. In addition, it is problematic that in a usually separate drive of the columns, the stuffing used, and so unnecessarily friction and wear.
  • a device for filling at least one metering chamber is already known.
  • a stamp arranged on a carrier acts on the metering chamber, wherein at least two columns communicating with the carrier can be moved up and down.
  • the inventive device for filling at least one metering chamber has the advantage that by the synchronous movement of the at least two columns, a twisting of the stamp supporting arrangement is avoided. As a result, the friction caused by friction can be minimized. In addition, only a single drive must be provided for the entire arrangement, whereby the complexity of the system is reduced and a simple controllability is achieved.
  • the drive means centrally specifies a movement profile of the columns.
  • the movement profile of the columns can also be changed synchronously merely by a different activation of the drive means, for example the height of the stroke, the lifting speed or the lifting acceleration.
  • the pillars of the carrier are moved via at least two gear mechanisms, preferably crank mechanisms, which are connected to one another by the coupling mechanism.
  • the rotational movement of the one drive is converted via the crank mechanism into a synchronous linear movement for the at least two columns.
  • It is preferably an electric motor as a drive means, which is characterized by easy controllability.
  • the drive is now driven according to the invention so that the crank mechanism does not undergo a complete revolution, but only by a targeted reciprocating motion of the drive is moved up and down.
  • the angle at which the crank mechanism is moved from the left to the right reversal position and vice versa defines the magnitude of the stroke of the carrier and thus the punch.
  • the stroke of the punch can be influenced in a very simple manner, without the need for a complex adjustment of the mechanism would be necessary.
  • the stamp can drive in choosing the maximum possible stroke in a maintenance position in which, for example, the dosing can be easily cleaned without colliding with the punches.
  • the arrangement allows by a clever choice of speed and / or acceleration of the drive in the vicinity of the turning points targeted influencing the tamping forces.
  • accelerations can be easily defined and changed in the control depending on the position. With high accelerations high stuffing forces can be achieved, with lower accelerations correspondingly lower.
  • crank mechanism is provided for each column.
  • at least three columns are generally suitable, all of which are moved upwards and downwards synchronously by only one drive in the same stroke or movement profile.
  • These crank mechanisms are connected by coupling mechanisms with each other or with only the drive, so that the motion profile predetermined by the drive is available in the same way with the other crank mechanisms. This can ensure the synchronicity of the movement of the columns.
  • coupling rods, belts, gears or chains are used as a coupling mechanism.
  • the in the FIG. 1 illustrated apparatus for filling at least one metering chamber and then dispensing powder into hard gelatin capsules 1 or the like has a product container 11.
  • the product container 11 is formed by a Sheath 12, a lid 13 and a metering disk 14.
  • the product container 11 is surrounded by a ring 15, which serves to receive upper capsule parts 2.
  • Below the ring 15 segments 17 are provided, which are designed for receiving capsule parts 3 accordingly.
  • the segments 17 are pivotally mounted about one in the ring 15, not shown, bolts, and are in circulation through a fixed curve 20 via a cam roller 21 according to the requirements inward, that is, under holes or metering chambers 22 of the metering disk 14, or to the outside, that is beyond the circumference of the ring 15 also moves.
  • the metering disc 14 is mounted on a shaft 23 which is coupled to a drive, not shown, of the device 10, and which further rotates the metering disk 14 by an angular amount.
  • a second ring 24 is provided, which in turn is mounted on the table top 25 of the device 10.
  • an intermediate ring 26 is provided which can be pressed against the underside of the metering disk 14 in a manner known per se by adjusting means, not shown.
  • This intermediate ring 26 serves to seal the metering chambers 22 of the metering disk 14 in the area of the powder metering.
  • movable up and down carrier 28 is arranged, each executes a certain stroke.
  • Stopfstempelève 29 are arranged at equal angular intervals, in which, for example, five stuffing punches 30 are performed, which penetrate the lid 13 of the product container 11 in corresponding holes.
  • ejection punches 31 are arranged on the carrier 28, which are connected in height-adjustable manner with a holder 32 arranged on the carrier 28.
  • the ejection punches 31 are surrounded by a powder deflector 33 within the product container 11.
  • Essential to the invention is the drive of the columns 27 and the carrier 28 in connection with associated plunger 30, 31.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 shows exemplarily how two columns 27 are moved synchronously up and down. However, it could be in the same way more than two columns 27, namely, for example, three or four are moved synchronously.
  • a servo drive 50 as an example of a drive means is controlled by a controller 48.
  • the servo drive 50 is connected via a belt 51 with a first gear 52, namely a first crank mechanism 52, in connection.
  • a first crank 53 is connected to the first crank mechanism 52.
  • the movement of the first crank mechanism 52 is transmitted via the first crank 53 and a first crank joint 61 on a first coupling rod 64, which via a Joint is connected to the first column 27.
  • a second gear 54 is provided, which is designed as a second crank mechanism 54.
  • a second crank 55 is connected to the second crank mechanism 54 at the center of the axis of rotation of the second crank mechanism 54, the movement of which is transmitted via a second crank joint 62 and a second coupling rod 65 to the second column 27, again via a joint, not specified becomes.
  • a first connecting element 56 is provided on the outer circumference of the first crank drive 52 and the second crank drive 54, which ensures that the movement of the first crank drive 52 is transmitted to the second crank drive 54.
  • the two cranks 53, 55 are connected via a second connecting means 58 at the two crank joints 61, 62.
  • a greater stability of the arrangement can be ensured.
  • the synchronicity of the movements of the first and second coupling rod 64, 65 improves.
  • the two crank mechanisms 52, 52 are each designed as disks.
  • connection means 56, 58 for example coupling rods can be used.
  • the metering disk 14 is cyclically rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction in each case under the punch 30 of the stamp carrier 29. Subsequently, the punches 30 penetrate during a downward movement of the carrier 28 into the metering chambers 22 of the metering disk 14, wherein the powder contained in the bore 22 is compressed. During the compacting or pressing of the powder, the intermediate ring 26 forms an abutment for the punches 30 and the powder. Subsequently, the punches 30 are moved out of the metering chambers 22 of the metering disk 14 again by means of the carrier 28, whereupon the metering disk 14 is rotated into the area of the next stamp carrier 29.
  • the compacts thus formed reach the region of the ejection punches 31, where they are inserted into the capsule sub-parts 3 provided by means of the segments 17. Subsequently, the capsule parts 3 are merged with the capsule tops 2 again.
  • the mounted on the support 28 stamp 30, 31 are moved over four synchronously moving columns 27 up and down. Such a normal operation is in the Figures 3 and 4 shown.
  • the controller 48 controls the servo drive 50, starting from the in FIG. 4 shown position, so that the first crank 52 and with it the first crank 53 in the in FIG. 3 position shown.
  • the second crank mechanism 54 synchronously moves the corresponding column 27 with the same stroke as the column 27 moved by the first crank mechanism 52.
  • the servo drive 50 is driven in the sense of a left turn until the first crank 53 in the in FIG. 4 is shown position.
  • crank mechanisms 52, 54 are now clockwise back to the position after FIG. 3 emotional.
  • FIG. 3 shown position is again a reversal of direction and the crank mechanisms 52, 54 are counterclockwise back to the position after FIG. 4 procedure and so on.
  • the angle specification for the servo drive 50 is selected so that the maximum stroke of the punches 30, 31 is achieved in order to be able to access, for example for cleaning purposes, the coat 12, cover 13 and metering disk 14 as easily as possible. This position is in FIG. 2 shown.
  • transmission 52, 54 is any gear into consideration, in the embodiment according to the FIGS. 2 to 4 it is a crank gear. However, it is essential that the rotational movements of the servo drive 50 are converted into a defined stroke of the columns 27 by the corresponding gear 52, 54 and the gear 52, 54 are operated synchronously.
