Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stuffing stamp station for filling capsules with filling material in a capsule filling machine, comprising a rotationally drivable metering disc comprising at least one group of bores, a filling device for filling the bores with the filling material, at least one group of stuffing punches and a group of ejection punches, the stuffing punches and the ejection punches being held on a vertically displaceable punch carrier, wherein the stuffing punches for pressing the filling material into the bores and the ejection punches for ejecting compacts produced in the bores by the stuffing punches can enter into the bores by vertical movement of the stamp carrier.
  • the invention also relates to a method for filling capsules with filler material in a stuffing die station of a capsule filling machine.
  • stuffing stamp stations are used in capsule filling machines, which are designed as so-called rotary machines. They have distributed around the circumference of various process stations, in particular a feed station and separation station for separating the capsule halves, one or more metering stations, a closing station for closing the capsule halves, one or more ejection stations and optionally one or more empty stations.
  • metering stations for example, stuffing stamp stations are used, which are suitable for metering filler material and transferring it into capsules.
  • the holes of Stopfstempelstationen are adapted in diameter and distance from one another to the capsules held in a capsule holder of the capsule filling machine to be filled capsules.
  • the stuffing stamp station further comprises, for example, 5 groups of stuff stamps and a group of Emissions temples. At five of the groups of stuffing dies are gradually produced from filling material pellets in the holes.
  • the group of ejection punches ejects the pellets from the holes and transfers the pellets into the capsule bases held in the capsule holders.
  • the dosing disc is usually cyclically driven via a stepping gear, so that the individual groups of holes successively approach the groups of stuffing dies and the group of ejection punches.
  • Each cycle is divided into a rest and switching time.
  • the rest time is the downtime in which the dosing is and formed or ejected into the pellets.
  • the switching time is the movement time of the metering disc in which the metering disc rotates about its axis and each group of bores continues to pace to the next group of punches.
  • the relationship between shift and rest time is determined in the course of the design of the rubble transmission and is then no longer changeable.
  • Stopfstempelstationen have a lifting device which carries the Stopfstkov and the ejection punch and vertically moves up and down in accordance with the clocked movement of the dosing.
  • the lifting device is usually driven by a mechanical curve, the stroke length is set once when designing the stuffing die station and also is no longer adjustable. Due to different mounting heights of the groups of stuffing dies on the lifting device, the compacts are built up step by step.
  • the two drive trains are mechanically coupled and are driven by a common drive.
  • the stuffing dies While the dosing disk is in its switching time and, for example, rotates 60 ° further with six groups of holes, the stuffing dies already begin their vertical downward movement. you reach the holes of the dosing and possibly a powder bed of filler only when the dosing has already reached its position for the resting time. After the pressing process, the punches return to their original position, with the metering disc already beginning to turn further before the punches have reached their uppermost position.
  • the ratio between locking and switching times is rigid. Must be extended for production reasons, the rest time, for example, by the need for a longer filling time due to poorly flowing filler, or the switching time must be extended, for example, because otherwise forms on the metering no uniform bed of filler, the other time is also automatically extended , This unnecessarily prolongs the total cycle time of latching and rotating the metering disc unnecessarily.
  • Another stuffing stamp station is known DE 10 2006 014 496 A1 ,
  • the stamps are held on a support, which is driven by columns.
  • the columns are connected via a crank drive with a common servo drive, so that the columns are to move synchronously.
  • a disadvantage is the required for driving the columns considerable design effort. Adjustments to the drive are difficult.

  • the rotating driven dosing disc can have several groups of holes, which are guided by rotating the dosing disc successively along the groups of stuffing dies and ejection punches. It can also be provided several groups of stuffing punches, which are passed through by the holes in succession. For example, there may be five sets of stuffing dies and a group of ejection stamps. In this case, for example, six groups of holes can be distributed along the circumference of the dosing. The holes are in relation to each other in terms of their diameter and their arrangement, in particular their distance from one another, adapted to the capsules to be filled in a capsule filling machine equipped with the stuffing die station and located in a capsule holder.

  • Due to the separately formed second drive means and variable pressing force curves can be adjusted.
  • the immersion speed and the duration of the maximum pressing force is set mechanically invariable over a corresponding curve, different pressing force profiles can be realized by the control device. This can be used, for example, for a suitable extension of the pressure holding time without undesirably influencing the switching time of the metering disk. This results in a larger processing window for different products.
  • the stuffing punches preferably the stuffing punches and the ejection punches, can be held on a vertically movable punch carrier, which is moved vertically by the second drive means.
  • the pressure holding time of the stuffing dies in the bores is defined as the time in which the maximum pressing force is exerted by the stuffing dies during a pressing process.
  • This pressure-holding time can be set specifically by a suitable control of the first and / or second drive means.
