本発明は液剤を充填した硬カプセルにおいて、液剤充填
後ボディとキャップとの接合部のシール前に液漏れを検
査する装置に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a device for inspecting a hard capsule filled with a liquid for liquid leakage after filling the liquid and before sealing the joint between the body and the cap.
この種の硬カプセルは、充填装置によりボディに液剤を
充填すると同時にボディとキャップとを接合して製造す
るが、接合不全の時は充填液が漏出し、また接合後時間
が経過すると接合部分より充填液が漏出し始めるので、
この充填液の漏出を防止する手段が必要である。This type of hard capsule is manufactured by filling the body with liquid using a filling device and at the same time joining the body and cap. However, if the connection fails, the filling liquid will leak, and if some time passes after joining, the joint will leak. As the filling liquid begins to leak,
A means is required to prevent leakage of this filling liquid.
「従来の技術」
従来は充填後液漏れを検査する手段が考慮されず、充填
後カプセルをシール材によってシールしていた。"Prior Art" Conventionally, no means of inspecting liquid leakage after filling was considered, and the capsule was sealed with a sealing material after filling.

ない。``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' As mentioned above, the filling liquid leaks from hard capsules after being filled over time, and there may also be bonding failure during filling, so the filling liquid may already start leaking when sealed. However, if the leaked liquid adheres to the surface, pinholes will occur even if the seal is applied, making it impossible to prevent leakage.

れを検出することができる。"Operation" The hard capsule is supplied to the downward-sloping guide groove of the vibration base,
When the vibrating base is vibrated, the hard capsule does not roll due to the vibration, but slides along the guide groove and advances in the flow direction. Due to this rolling, the filling liquid spreads throughout the capsule, and if the body and cap are not joined properly or if there is a gap in the contact area after filling, the filling liquid will leak onto the surface and cause friction due to the leaking liquid. As the flow rate increases, the flow rate slows down, and this change in flow rate allows leakage to be detected before sealing.
また、充填液が漏出している硬カプセルが流れ方向に流
れる際、その流れ部位であるガイド溝には漏出した液が
付着して当該部位の色調が変化するのて、この色調の変
化により液漏れを検出することがてきる。In addition, when a hard capsule with leaking filling liquid flows in the flow direction, the leaked liquid adheres to the guide groove, which is the flow area, and the color tone of that area changes. Leakage can be detected.

At the same time, the contact rate between the hard capsule and the guide groove surface increases, and if there is a gap at the joint between the hard capsules, the filling liquid will surely leak out, and the flow rate caused by the adhesion of the leaked liquid to the flow area will increase. Liquid leakage can be easily and reliably detected by a drop in color or a change in color.
