Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for ejecting at least one capsule according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • a generic device is already out of the DE 103 51 212 A1 known.
  • a machine for filling and capping two-piece capsules includes a capsule ejector for axially ejecting the capsule from its respective receptacle.
  • the ejected capsule is placed either on one or the other guideway, depending on whether it is a proper or defective capsule. This will separate proper from faulty capsules.
  • the device according to the invention and the method for ejecting at least one capsule has the advantage that already the ejection means individually and independently of each other can be controlled. This makes it possible, in the case of a faulty capsule to eject this individually.
  • subsequent sorting devices can be dispensed with.
  • only the ejection means are moved upwards, which should lead to an ejection of the respective capsule. In a subsequent station then all remaining capsules can be ejected.
  • the resulting device is relatively simple, since the movement of the ejection means anyway a corresponding drive structures are provided.
  • the drive control means comprise a carriage which is movable in the ejection direction. About this slide the respective ejection means can be moved in the ejection direction, depending on which ejection means individually eject the associated capsule now or not. This simplifies the drive construction, since only a single part must be set in motion.
  • the drive control means to bring the respective ejection means into contact with the carriage such that this ejection means can be moved together with the carriage in the ejection direction.
  • the drive control means are thus arranged on the carriage, whereby a space-saving construction is made possible.
  • the drive control means can now act directly on the ejection means, which are preferably guided in the carriage.
  • cylinders in particular pneumatic cylinders, are used as the control means. These are characterized by a simple controllability.
  • FIG. 1 a machine for filling and closing of capsules 24 is shown, each consisting of a capsule bottom and a capsule top.
  • the machine comprises a conveyor wheel which rotates stepwise about a vertical axis and by means of which twelve work stations 1 to 12 can be approached.
  • the capsule delivery device comprises twelve holders 22 in which, for example, five receptacles for one capsule 24 each are formed.
  • the individual workstations 1 to 12 of the machine are included the filling of the capsule 24 different tasks.
  • the assembled capsules 24 are sorted at the workstation 1 and introduced into the receptacle of the holder 22.
  • the capsules 24 are released there, that is, the capsule top is separated from the capsule base. Also in the workstation 3, the capsule tops of the capsules 24 used in the holders are tested for their quality.
  • the capsules 24 are filled by a powder filling station. After filling the capsule bases, the capsules in the work station 8 are closed again.
  • the capsules 24 are weighed. In this case, it is checked whether capsules 24 have been filled with sufficient powder. From this weighing it is decided whether it is a properly or incorrectly filled capsule 24. Faulty filled capsules 24 are ejected in the subsequent work station 10 by the corresponding ejection device, which will be described in more detail below.
  • all proper capsules 24 remaining in the holder 22 are ejected, which are transferred, for example, to a subsequent packaging device such as a blister machine.
  • This device consists of a carriage 16 which can be moved up and down in the ejection direction.
  • ejection means 18 are guided as receptacles 25 are provided in the holder 22 for the corresponding capsules 24.
  • pneumatic cylinders 20 as an example of drive control means arranged.
  • Capsules 24 ejected by ejection means 18 are discharged via a capsule groove 26.
  • the slide 16 includes, corresponding to the number of ejection means 18, recesses 17. These recesses 17 are in this case dimensioned so that during an up and down movement of the carriage 16, the ejection means 18 are not moved. Furthermore, on the carriage 16, corresponding to the number of the ejection means 18, pneumatic cylinders 20 attached. Respective control piston 23 of the pneumatic cylinder 20 engage via corresponding transverse bores in the direction of the respective recess 17. Above the pneumatic cylinder 20, depending on the number of the respective ejection means 18, corresponding sensors 27 are arranged, which serve to monitor the position and control of the ejection means 18.
  • the device for ejecting at least one capsule 24 has a table top 30. With this table top 30, a lower guide 28 and an upper guide 32 are positively connected. The two guides 28,32 are used to guide the ejection means 18.
  • the respective ejection means 18 pass through a bore to the corresponding capsule receptacle 25 in the holder 22. In the ejection position, the holder 22 is below its deflection 34, which is an ejected capsule 24 in Direction to the capsule trough 26 deflects.
  • the ejector now operates in the following manner.
  • the movement of the plurality of ejection means 18 is controlled by a single carriage 16.
  • the carriage 16 moves once per cycle in the ejection direction.
  • FIG. 3 it can be seen that the carriage 16 is in the upper position.
  • the ejection means 18 shown is in its lower position. That is, the capsule 24 associated with the ejection means 18 should not be ejected.
  • the movement of the carriage 16 from below in the ejection direction does not affect the movement of the ejection means 18, that is, the ejection means 18 remains in its position.
  • the recess 17 is designed so that the movement of the carriage 16 does not bring a movement of the corresponding ejection means 18 with it.
  • the driving position of the ejection means 18 is shown, that is, the control piston 23 of the pneumatic cylinder 20 cooperates with the underside of the driving surface 19, so that with a corresponding upward movement of the carriage 16 together with pneumatic cylinder 20 and control piston 23, the corresponding ejection means 18 is taken up.
  • the various ejection means 18 can be controlled independently of one another by correspondingly associated control pistons 23 in the sense of a movement entrainment. This makes it possible for individual capsules 24 to be ejected in a targeted manner to be detected by the ejection movement of the ejection means 18 moved correspondingly by the carriage 16. After the appropriate assumption of the driving position of the control piston 23 of the carriage 16 is now moved in the ejection direction.
  • the associated sensors 27 check the achievement of the upper position of the respective ejection means 18.
  • the sensors 27 are arranged fixedly relative to the carriage 16. They are designed as proximity sensors.
  • the ejection means 18 are moved so far in the ejection direction that the capsule 24 is thrown out of the capsule receptacle 25 of the holder 22 and is deflected by the deflection 34 towards the capsule channel 26.
  • the control piston 23 and thus the ejection means 18 are individually controlled.
  • the aim of the device is in any case to separate faulty filled capsules 24 of proper capsules 24.
  • the defective capsules 24 can be ejected in a targeted manner.
  • the weighing device 13 gives the corresponding information to a controller, in which the capsules 24 are a proper or faulty. If the faulty capsules 24 are now to be ejected in the station 10, the control pistons 23 associated with the respective defective capsules 24 with associated ejection means 18 are moved in the direction of the recess 17.
  • the control piston 23 of such ejection means 18, which are arranged under proper capsules 24, however, are not moved.
  • the carriage 16 takes only such ejection means 18 in the ejection direction, which are arranged under a defective capsule 24; the ejection means 18 under proper capsules 24 are not moved in the ejection direction.
  • all defective capsules 24 located in the holder 22 are eliminated.
  • After leaving the station 10 are thus only the proper capsules 24 in the holder 22.
  • These are then removed at the station 11.
  • a targeted control of the ejection means 18 is no longer necessary, that is, all ejection means 18 can be moved into each of the capsule receptacles 25 of the holder 22, so that all still in the holder 22 capsules 24 are ejected.
  • Device and method for ejecting at least one capsule are used in particular in hard gelatin capsule filling machines.
  • the capsules can be filled with powder, pellets, liquids or tablets.
  • Other methods for determining a properly or incorrectly filled capsule 24 are conceivable. Necessary are only appropriate criteria by which a proper from a faulty capsule 24 can be distinguished.
