Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for ejecting at least one capsule from a capsule holder and a method for ejecting at least one capsule from a capsule holder by means of such a device.
  • plug-in capsules which are intended to be swallowed by the user.
  • Such capsules consist of a lower part, an attached upper part and the preparation mentioned as a filling.
  • the lower part is first filled with the desired content. This is followed by closing by pushing on the upper part.
  • the capsule lower parts or the sealed capsules are held in a capsule holder, such a capsule holder having at least two, as a rule also significantly more, capsule receptacles for each capsule.
  • a capsule holder is cyclically moved to various stations, in which the finished capsules are filled, closed and ejected, among other things.
  • test stations are increasingly being used, in which proper filling, proper sealing of the capsule and / or other quality features are checked. In the sense of a 100% check, correct capsules can be distinguished from incorrect capsules and appropriate measures can be initiated.
  • the capsule holder passes through two different ejection stations, the capsules found to be poor being ejected in one ejection station and the capsules found to be good being ejected in the other station and being used for further use.
  • the individual stations there are ejectors that eject the respective capsules from their capsule holders.
  • Simple designs are often used, in which all ejectors of a station are driven and moved together. If at least one capsule of the total quantity of capsules in the capsule holder is recognized as bad, all capsules in the capsule holder simultaneously in this cycle are ejected together. If, however, no capsule has been identified as bad, all capsules are ejected at the same time in the assigned ejection station and sent for further processing.
  • Corresponding devices are simple in construction. However, an undesirably high amount of waste can arise.
  • the device comprising a drive unit for actuating the ejectors independently of one another in one ejection direction and in an opposite return direction.
  • the capsule receptacles are often arranged very close to one another within a capsule holder, so that little space remains for individual drive of the individual ejectors. This circumstance is made more difficult if the capsule receptacles two or are arranged in multiple rows in the capsule holder.
  • DE102006035280 discloses a device with all the technical features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a device for ejecting at least one capsule from a capsule holder, by means of which gentle and process-reliable individual ejection of a capsule is possible.
  • the invention is furthermore based on the object of specifying a method for ejecting at least one capsule from a capsule holder, which process-reliable operation of the device according to the invention is possible.
  • the drive unit of the device for each ejector comprises an individually operable pneumatic actuating cylinder as a drive for the respective ejector and a limiting element provided for several ejectors, in particular for all ejectors, with a cyclical lifting drive, the ejectors each having an in the return acting stop for the limiting element is assigned.
  • the limiting element is permanently moved back and forth between an extended and a retracted position in the ejection direction or in the return direction by means of its cyclic lifting drive method.
  • the piston rod of the respectively assigned actuating cylinder is extended in the ejection direction in such a way that the assigned stop comes into contact with the limiting element and thereby limits the movement of the ejector in the ejection direction.
  • the ejector By means of its movement limited in the ejection direction by the limiting element, the ejector now pushes the associated capsule out of its capsule holder.
  • two drives are therefore combined with one another.
  • One of these two drives is formed by the pneumatic cylinders mentioned. These can be arranged and operated parallel to one another in a space-saving manner, so that an individual and independent movement of the individual ejectors can still be realized even with very little available space.
  • the pneumatic cylinders have a system-related disadvantage. As soon as one or the other side of the piston is pressurized with working pressure, the piston rod moves very quickly, the speed of which cannot be adjusted or limited with satisfactory accuracy and reproducibility by pneumatic means alone. In particular in the direction of ejection, too rapid a movement can damage the capsules, while attempting to throttle the pneumatic speed entails the risk that the piston rods move too slowly and cannot perform their function.
  • the effect of the limiting element comes into play. Since this is designed or provided for simultaneous action on several and in particular on all ejectors, the limiting element is also only present in one or a few copies. Accordingly, only a single cyclic linear actuator or a small number of them is required, so that the space restrictions applicable to the individually operable ejectors and pneumatic actuating cylinders do not apply here.
  • the limiting element is now continuously moved back and forth between the extended and the retracted position by means of its cyclic linear actuator and is - if the pneumatic cylinders remain in their retracted rest position unactuated - inoperative. However, if one or more actuating cylinders are actuated in the ejection direction as a result of the good / bad detection described above, the associated stops come into contact with the limiting element.
  • the limiting element which is clearly defined in terms of speed and amplitude by the forced movement of its own, for example, electric motor drive, thus limits the pneumatically initiated movement of the piston rods and the ejector in the same way. The ejection speed is thus determined by the kinematics of the limiting element, regardless of the pneumatic operating pressure.
  • the limiting element can also be used to return one or more extended ejectors and the associated actuating cylinder. If no pneumatic return is provided, the limiting element acts as a mechanical forced return. Expediently, however, the return of the ejector in each case extended is carried out pneumatically by means of the associated actuating cylinder in normal or regular operation, as a result of which the mechanical load and the power requirement of the limiting element are reduced.
  • the delimiting element comprises a base body with delimiting projections protruding therefrom, the delimiting projections being designed to bear against the stops. All limiting projections experience the same movement sequence via the movement of the basic body, so that the movement of individual ejectors and actuating cylinders is synchronized automatically.
  • the ejectors for example in the form of rocker arms or the like.
  • the ejectors are preferably designed as axially movable tappets, with a piston rod, an associated tappet and an associated stop each forming a coaxially movable and linearly guided functional unit.
  • the coaxial design is space-saving, simple to set up and reliable. It is also easy to interact with the boundary element.
  • the limiting projections may be expedient to direct the limiting projections, for example, radially onto the respective plungers or stops.
  • a plurality of plungers with the associated stops are arranged in a row, the limiting projections being passed between the plungers.
  • the stops are each formed by an annular flange. The training as a ring flange ensures the effect even if there is an unintentional rotation of the respective component around its longitudinal axis.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic front view of a device designed according to the invention for ejecting at least one capsule 1 from a capsule holder 2.
  • the device shown is part of a capsule filling system with several stations, in which the capsules are filled with their intended ingredients, sealed, checked and then further processed, that is for example, the packaging in a blister or the like.
  • the capsule holder 2 is provided with a plurality of continuous capsule receptacles 3, the capsule holder 2 here only having a series of six capsule receptacles 3 as an example. Any other number can also be expedient.
  • two or more such rows with capsule receptacles 3 arranged in a matrix can be expedient within the scope of the invention.
  • each capsule receptacle 3 initially contains only one lower part of the capsule which is open at the top and which is then filled with a suitable amount of a pharmaceutical powder, a food supplement or another desired ingredient.
  • a further closing station also not shown, an upper capsule part is then slipped onto the lower capsule parts, so that finished capsules 1 according to the illustration Fig. 1 are formed.
  • the capsule holder 2 passes through a test station, also not shown. Suitable sensors are attached there, which can detect individually possible capsule defects in the form of damage to the capsule shell or in the form of inadequate or failed filling in each individual capsule 1. As part of a 100% check, it is recognized whether or in which capsule holder 3 there is a good or a bad capsule 1. Depending on this good / bad detection, individual ejection of individual capsules 1 from their respective capsule receptacles 3 is to take place in the ejection station shown here.
