Hereinafter, the configuration of the capsule polisher described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8.

First, the main body 110, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, is formed upright in a vertical direction in a cylindrical shape, and is in communication with one side of the lower end of the main body 110 to put a capsule before polishing a capsule inlet (capsule inlet) A capsule outlet 112 is formed in communication with one side of the upper end of the body 111 and the main body 110 to discharge the polished capsules.

Here, referring to Figure 2, the capsule inlet 111 is formed in communication in a diagonal direction descending to the main body 110 so that the capsule is slid and put in by its own weight, and the capsule outlet 112 descends into the main body 110 It is formed in communication in an oblique direction so that the capsule is slid and discharged by its own weight.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 4, the upper cover 114 into which the injection nozzle unit 140 is inserted may maintain a sealed structure through the main body 110 and the sealing 113.

Next, the capsule transfer unit 120 removes dust or powder adsorbed on the surface of the capsule while rotating and transferring the capsule passing through the capsule filling machine 10 in the upper direction while polishing the capsule, specifically, FIGS. 2 to 4 As shown in, the main body 110 is composed of a rotating shaft 121 extending in the longitudinal direction in the inner center, and a brush 122 formed spirally extending on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 121.

Here, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the brush 122 is composed of a plurality of brush brushes (122a) formed in a spiral arrangement on the rotation shaft 121, the brush brush (122a) is adjacent brush brush (122a) By forming the uneven portion (A) so as to form a height difference between the brush 122, while performing an upward transfer from the capsule inlet 111 to the height of the capsule outlet 112 by the rotation of the brush 122, the uneven portion A ) To prevent the capsule from slipping and retreating.

For example, as shown enlarged in FIG. 4, the brush brushes 122a are stacked by being spaced apart in three rows, and arranged in a zigzag form for each row to form the uneven portion A.

In addition, referring to FIG. 3, the fine intake hole 151 is formed to protrude into the body 110 to a certain depth so that the brush brush 122a rotates in a spiral manner and bends and adheres to the front end of the intake part 150. As a result, it is possible to remove dust or powder attached to the capsule by elastic bending and spreading of the brush brush 122a.

In addition, the rotation shaft 121 is formed to be rotatable between the upper cover 114 and the reducer 133, and may be guided to rotate smoothly through the bearings 123, respectively.

Accordingly, even if the rotational speed of the rotation shaft 121 is increased in order to increase the transfer efficiency, the capsule can be smoothly transferred in the vertical direction by the uneven portion A.

On the other hand, the main body 110 is configured to be separated into multiple stages, that is, two stages, four stages, or six stages mutually sealed by the sealing 113, and the capsule transfer unit 120 corresponds to the height of the main body 110 composed of the multi stage It is formed, and the intake part 150 may be arranged in plural for each of the main body 110 configured in multiple stages, and thus, each intake part 150 may be connected to each other in communication with the second pipe 162.

Next, the motor unit 130, as shown in Figs. 1 and 7, is formed sealed at the lower end of the main body 110, the electric motor 131 for rotationally driving the rotation shaft 121, and the electric motor 131 ) Is composed of a case 132 fixed in the vertical direction.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 7, a reducer 133 is interposed between the lower end of the rotation shaft 121 and the electric motor 131, so that the rotational force of the electric motor 131 is reduced by a reduction ratio of a certain ratio to rotate with high torque. I can make it.

In addition, a caster 134 is formed on the bottom of the case 132 so as to be easily transported, and a position may be changed according to the working environment.

Next, the injection nozzle unit 140, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, is formed by combing the rotary shaft 121 on one side of the upper end of the capsule transfer unit 120 to wash water in a direct downward direction into the body 110 By spraying, it is possible to clean the inside of the main body 110 or the capsule transfer unit 120 with water.

Here, referring to Figure 4, the injection nozzle unit 140 is a nozzle 141 formed to enable rotational injection, a valve 142 coupled to the nozzle 141, and coupled to the valve 142 to supply washing water It may be configured with a pump (not shown).

Next, the intake unit 150, as shown in Figs. 3, 5, and 6, is formed by being coupled to the front end of the main body 110, and a plurality of fine intake holes 151 are arranged on the front side. Dust or powder generated from the capsule that is formed and upwardly conveyed by the rotation of the brush 122 is inhaled and exhausted to the 3-way valve 164 through the second pipe 162.

Here, both side surfaces 152 of the intake unit 150 protruding into the main body 110 are chamfered around the fine intake hole 151, so that the end of the brush brush 122a in close contact with the fine intake hole 151 It is also possible to increase durability by preventing damage and cutting of the brush brush 122a itself by allowing it to naturally come into close contact with the intake part 150.

Next, the internal cleaning unit 160, as shown in FIG. 5, is formed in communication at the bottom of the main body 110 and sprayed by the spray nozzle unit 140 to collect and discharge the washing water that has cleared the inside ( 161 and a second pipe 162 communicating with the intake unit 150 to discharge dust or powder collected by being inhaled by the intake unit 150, and a first pipe 161 and a second pipe 162 It consists of a communication pipe 163 integrated through communication, and a three-way valve 164 that is combined with the communication pipe 163 and discharges dust or powder or discharges washing water.

Therefore, by the configuration of the capsule polisher as described above, the capsule is transported while minimizing damage in the vertical direction by the spiral rotation of the brush, and smoothly vertically without slipping so that the capsule does not retreat due to the irregularities between the brush brushes. It can be transferred in the direction to increase the transfer efficiency, and while maintaining the sealed structure by sealing, it is possible to easily perform internal cleaning by absorbing dust or powder adsorbed on the capsule passing through the capsule filler and spraying the washing water. Accordingly, the height can be varied by configuring it in multiple stages, and maintenance can be easily performed through separation of the multi-stage main body and mutual separation of the capsule transfer unit.

The embodiments described in the present specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not represent all the technical spirit of the present invention, so various equivalents that can replace them at the time of the present application It should be understood that there may be water and variations.
