Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary indexing table which is driven cyclically while being used as part of a filling plant for filling containers with powdery materials.
  • the containers may be, for example, capsules which are filled with powdery substances such as, for example, powdered medicaments.
  • the medicaments introduced into the capsule may be more or less powdery or coarse-grained.
  • a combination of different medicinal powdery components may be present in each container.
  • a rotary indexing table of the aforementioned generic type known is a rotary indexing table of the aforementioned generic type known.
  • This rotary indexing table can be used for filling capsules, such as gelatine capsules, each of which consists of a cup-shaped lower part and a cap-shaped upper part which can be pushed onto the lower part.
  • capsules such as gelatine capsules
  • the one or more lower parts available for it are filled.
  • the filled bottoms are then closed again with the respective upper parts.
  • the upper parts can be moved away from the lower parts by moving the upper parts or the receptacles provided therefor away.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a particular economically improved rotary indexing table of the type mentioned.
  • the rotary indexing table according to the invention is characterized in that, on the one hand, the upper receptacles for the upper parts of containers, in particular upper parts of capsules, are pivoted back and forth in a plane parallel to the plane of rotation of the rotary indexing table and, in addition, the lower parts of containers, such as, in particular, of lower capsules Recordings can be lowered and raised down and up.
  • the time required to move away an upper receptacle from a lower receptacle is shorter than the time required for this in the prior art, since the respective upper receptacle only has to be pivoted and not additionally raised and lowered.
  • a rotary indexing table 10 is part of a filling system with which hard gelatin capsules 12 can be filled with similar or different types of powdered medicaments.
  • the rotary indexing table 10 has a motor drive, not shown in the drawing, by means of which it can be rotated clockwise about a central axis of rotation 14 in the direction of rotation 16.
  • the device platform representing rotary plane 18 of the rotary indexing table 10 is perpendicular to the central axis of rotation 14.
  • Distributed circumferentially evenly on the plane of rotation 18 a plurality of upper and lower recording medium 20, 22 are arranged.
  • ten workstations 30 (30.1, 30.2, 30.3, 30.4, 30.5, 30.6, 30.7, 30.8, 30.9, 30.10), ten upper receiving medium 20 and ten lower receiving medium 22 are circumferentially evenly distributed.
  • each upper receiving carrier 20 a plurality of channel-like upper receptacles 24 and in each lower recording medium 22 a comparable number of channel-like lower receptacles 26 are present.
  • Upper and lower receiving carriers 20, 22 can be arranged in the axial direction one above the other so that their upper and lower seats 24, 26 are aligned.
  • the upper part 28 of a capsule 12 which is in an upper receptacle 24 is in alignment with the lower part 29 of the same capsule in a lower receptacle 26, the upper part 28 and the lower part 29 of the relevant capsule being separated from each other in this state -
  • an upper receptacle 24 and on the other hand in a lower receptacle 26 - are present.
  • the upper channel-like receptacle 24 a recess with a circumferential shoulder training is present, on which the cap-like einitzende upper part can be supported with its free edge.
  • the lower part 29, which has a comparatively smaller diameter sits in a channel-like lower receptacle 26, which accordingly has a smaller diameter.
  • a state of the rotary indexing table 10 is shown, in each of which an upper and lower recording medium 20, 22 is located in one of the ten workstations 30.
  • the rotary indexing table 10 rotates 360 degrees once.
  • Each of the clock steps is composed of a rest phase t1 and a rotation phase t2, which are the same size in the present example case.
  • empty capsules 12 are in the correct position during the resting phase (standstill phase) t1 of the rotary indexing table 10 in the upper receptacles 24, with their lower part 29 ahead, from above.
  • the lower part 29 of each of these capsules 20 has been pulled away from the associated upper part 28 down and pulled into a lower receptacle 26 of the lower recording medium 22.
  • the lower receiving support 22 together with the in-situ in his lower parts 29 in an extremely lower layer 22b ( Fig. 5 ) has been moved down. This condition is in Fig. 1 shown.
  • the idle phase present in the second workstation 30.2 is used to check whether the separation of upper part 28 and lower part 29 in the first workstation 30.1 has taken place and whether a lower part 29 is thus present in each lower receptacle 26.
  • the Fig. 5 the reference numeral 22c has.
  • the lifting of the lower recording medium 22 to a height level, which in the present example case by a smaller amount 35 ( Fig. 3 ) above the level 33 of the upper Receiving carrier 20 is is possible because between the second 30.2 and fifth workstation 30.5, the upper receiving carrier 20 has an inwardly pivoted away position 20i and therefore is not interfering with the lower recording medium 22 in the way.
  • the corresponding lower receiving carrier 22 is lowered again from its extremely high position 22c and the inwardly pivoted upper receiving carrier 20 is swung back out of its position 20i in a pivoting movement (76).
  • the pivoting movement 76 for the upper receiving carrier 20 begins slightly later than the downward movement of the associated lower receiving carrier 22 in order to avoid a collision between the two receiving carriers 20, 22.
  • the lower recording medium is thereby lowered to the level 22a of the second workstation 30.2 ( Fig. 5 ).
  • the lower recording medium 22 is raised so far that it rests with its lower receptacles 26 from below to the upper receptacles 24 of the upper recording medium 26.
  • the upper and lower images are then without gaps.
  • a pin 40 projecting upwards from the lower receiving carrier 22 then dips into a corresponding depression in the underside of the upper receiving carrier 20. The dipping of the pin ensures the exact mutual alignment of upper receptacles 24 and lower receptacles 26 of the associated recording media 20, 22 in the seventh workstation 30.7.
  • FIG. 3 It can be seen that the upper recording medium 20 in height in its inwardly pivoted position 20i have the same level 33, ie in a direction parallel to the plane of rotation 18 back and forth.
  • Each upper receiving carrier 20 is cantilevered on a pivot shaft 60. The - as will be explained below - can be rotated back and forth. The rotation of the pivot shaft 60 takes place in each case during the rotational movement of the rotary indexing table in the direction of rotation 16.
  • Each lower recording medium 22 is T-shaped on a perpendicular to the plane of rotation 18 aligned axis 44. Along this axis, it can be moved in the vertical direction.
  • the lower receiving carrier 22 is seated on a carriage 46 which is seated with a guide roller 48 in a spiral groove 50 so that by rotating a spiral groove 50 having perpendicularly arranged axial member, the guide roller 48 along the axis 44 down or up ,
  • this vertical adjustment 80 of the carriage 46 moves accordingly with downwards or upwards along the axis 44, so that thereby attached to the carriage 46 lower recording medium 22 with after down or up along the axis 44 is adjusted.
  • the lower carrier 22 is shown in its position 22b. He is thus in his extremely lowered position. This vertical adjustment takes place, as already stated, in the resting phase of the rotary indexing table 10.
  • the guide roller 48 moves, during the rotation of the rotary indexing table 10 in the direction of rotation 16, in a groove 51 which is circumferentially provided on the outside of the rotary indexing table 10.
  • the groove 51 has between the first and second workstation 30.1, 30.2 a slightly upwardly rising groove portion 52.
  • the carriage 46 and thus also the lower recording medium 22 is raised to a level 22a.
  • a rising groove portion 54 is present, which causes the along this groove portion 54 moving carriage 46 is finally lifted into the extremely upper layer 22c.
  • the circumferential groove 51 is so directional that when turning the rotary indexing table 10 from the fifth 30.5 in the sixth workstation 30.6 of the lower recording medium 22 is lowered again and then raised when turning from the sixth 30.6 in the seventh workstation 30.7 back to its original starting position as described above in connection with the Fig. 5 already described.
  • Each upper receiving carrier 20 projects at right angles from its pivot shaft 60 such that the upper receptacles 24 present in it are aligned in a plane parallel to the plane of rotation 18.
  • the pivot shaft 60 thus extends parallel to the central axis of rotation 14.
  • a gear 62 is rotatably disposed in the Fig. 4 dotted is indicated.
  • This gear 62 meshes with a likewise stationary on the plane of rotation 18 existing gear 64.
  • a cantilevered lever 66 is fixed, the end carries a groove roller 68.
  • This groove roller 68 is seated in a circumferentially closed groove 70 from above.
  • the groove roller 68 rolls in the groove 70 along.
  • the longitudinal orientation 72 of the groove 70 may have different orientations relative to the radius of the groove. If the longitudinal orientation 72.1 of the groove 70 has a constant radius 73, the position of the lever 66 attached to the respective groove roller 68 does not change. Therefore, the gear 64 does not rotate about the rotation axis 65 of the gear 64. Consequently, the pivot shaft 60 does not rotate either. As a result, in the portion of the groove 70 in which the groove 70 has a constant radius 73 to the central axis of rotation 14, no rotation of the upper recording medium 20 takes place.
  • the groove 70 runs into a groove section which has a radius 75 which is comparatively larger than the radius 73.
  • Nutrolle 68 moves radially outward and thereby pivots the lever 66 carrying them about the axis of rotation 65 of the gear 64 in a clockwise direction 76.
  • This rotation of the gear 64 in the clockwise direction 76 means a rotation of the pivot shaft 60 in the counterclockwise direction 78, which in turn has a pivotal movement of the upper recording medium 22 in the counterclockwise direction, that is in an inner layer 20i result.
  • the groove 70 has between the second 30.2 and fifth workstation 30.5 has a radius 77 relative to the central axis of rotation 14, which is greater than the radius 73 but also how this is constantly large. Therefore, when moving through the groove roller 68 in this groove portion no pivoting movement of the upper recording medium takes place.
  • the groove 72 pivots back into the groove portion with the constant smaller radius 73.
  • the lever 66 and attached to him gear 64 pivots counterclockwise 78. This in turn causes that with this gear 64 meshing gear 62 and thus the pivot shaft 60 in the clockwise direction 76th rotate and thus the upper recording medium 20 from its position 20i pivots back to its outwardly pivoted position back.
  • the upper receiving carrier 20 remains until it leaves the first station 30.1 in the direction of rotation 16 again.
  • the pivoting 76, 78 of the upper receiving carrier 20 includes the only movement that make these upper receiving carrier 20.
  • the pivoting takes place in each case in a plane parallel to the plane of rotation 18.
  • the lower recording media move in one revolution of the rotary indexing table 10 in a parallel to the rotation axis 14 lifting and lowering movement 80 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) between an extremely upper layer 20c and an extremely lower layer 20b back and forth.
