Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for sorting out defective cylindrical medicament capsules of a diameter exceeding a nominal value in at least one direction.
  • Drug capsules are used for oral administration of liquid or powdered medicines, which are to take effect with a time delay. They generally consist of a gelatin capsule in which the drug is enclosed.
  • the gelatin capsules comprise a centrally arranged, hollow-cylindrical region, which is closed on both sides in the axial direction by hollow domes and filled with the medicament. you will be after their preparation and filling initially collected in bags and transferred for individual administration by means of packaging machines individually in the wells of blister packs, which consist of a thermoformed plastic film.
  • the cups are superimposed for the individual removal of the drug capsules covered by an aluminum foil and sealed, can be pressed through the each to be removed drug capsule with proportionate destruction of the aluminum foil and deformation of the respective cup. This can be very hygienic and has proven very successful.
  • the invention is based on the object to show a device that allows fully automatic and safe to detect all fully unusable by deformations drug capsules and excrete fully automatically.
  • the invention is also intended to be suitable for sorting out other cylindrical bodies which exceed a nominal value which can be arbitrarily determined in at least one direction.
  • the device according to claim 1 offers the advantage that it can be used to fully automatically examine large quantities of medicament capsules according to qualitative standards and completely for diameter deviations of individual medicament capsules which exceed arbitrarily definable, permissible deviations. As a result, it is impossible for deformed medicament capsules to enter the packaging machines which have excessively large diameter excesses in at least one direction and block their guides.
  • the sieve drum and the devices connected to it are made of metal, preferably of stainless steel, which makes it possible to easily meet the hygienic standards prescribed for pharmaceutical areas in the long term and at the same time to achieve an electrostatic neutralization of the medicament capsules.
  • Electrostatic forces namely, can cause a large number of drug capsules to form a chain, which hinders the necessary separation.
  • the drug capsules to be controlled can be supplied in a particularly simple manner, defective drug capsules can be easily removed, and possible malfunctions can be easily remedied. Also, the cleaning and replacement of a screen drum against another is particularly easy. Since the screen drum is mounted only on a pair of motor-driven rollers, electrical connections or the like are not affected when replacing a Siebtrommmel. The conversion to drug capsules of a different diameter is thus tool-free and feasible even by unskilled workers.
  • the embodiment according to claim 2 offers the advantage that the circulation of the medicament capsules contained in the interior of the sieve drum is not uniformly rolling but takes place with progressive rotational movement of the sieve drum over different angles of inclination of the respective flat plates at different speeds. This favors a quick and correct, vertical introduction of the drug capsules to be tested in the holes of the drum and thus a particularly rapid workflow.
  • the embodiment according to claim 3 offers the advantage that the individual plates can be very easily and manually pulled out in the longitudinal direction of their leadership, cleaned or replaced. For the use of the device in low rooms without crane device that is of great advantage.
  • Claim 4 offers the advantage, parallel to the locking of the plates at the same time the interior of the screening drum is limited in the longitudinal direction to the extent required. This speeds up the recovery of operability following the replacement of one or more disks.
  • the design of the plates according to claim 5 makes it possible to manufacture the plates in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner, to store and install stacked.
  • the design according to claim 6 offers a particularly simple way to eliminate defective drug capsules completely from the device and collect separately.
  • the immediate removal of defective drug capsules always provides a maximum number of operational and unclogged holes for further control.
  • the embodiment according to claim 7 ensures that defective drug capsules are removed without residue and reliably under all circumstances.
  • the embodiment according to claim 8 ensures a complete removal of all possibly stuck in a plate drug capsules without separate control.
  • the embodiment according to claim 9 ensures the removal of all possibly stuck in a plate drug capsules in the shortest possible time.
  • the embodiment according to claim 10 makes it possible to exchange defective spikes cost.
  • the embodiment according to claim 11 offers the advantage that permanently a complete operational and functional safety of the device is ensured without the need for Zuziehung of specialized personnel.
  • the embodiment according to claim 12 ensures a particularly reliable implementation of the control process and in particular a uniform and reliable introduction of the drug capsules in the holes. Due to the uniform and very gradual transition of the largest in the smallest diameter of the holes also any damage to the drug capsules are excluded. It also ensures that all critical drug capsules can securely clamp in the holes regardless of the nature of the deformity and can be safely eliminated.
  • the inner diameter of the holes is in itself arbitrary and freely definable.
  • the embodiment according to claim 13 offers on this basis the advantage that the controlled drug capsules are trouble-free in all current packaging machines processable while avoiding unnecessary difficulties in the control and their guides do not block.
  • the embodiment according to claim 14 ensures that the drug capsules to be tested do not prevent each other from falling into the holes and passing through the holes.
  • the embodiment of claim 15 favors a trouble-free control even more so far, as the inside of the screen drum is formed in almost all areas by sharp-edged polylines, in which the adjacent holes with their funnel-like inlet openings each other limit in the manner of a honeycomb pattern.
  • the in the Fig. 1 to 6 serves to sort out cylindrical medicament capsules 1 of a diameter exceeding a nominal value in at least one direction to a critical extent.
  • the nominal value is determined empirically and starts with drug capsules 1 from a target value of the diameter of 4 to 8 mm and is so far beyond that the drug capsules concerned pass through the guides of the respective associated packaging machines trouble-free and secure. It may be 4.5 mm in the former case and 9 mm in the latter case.
  • other setpoints may be specified.
  • FIG. 1 A device shown mounted on a pair of rollers only 2.6 in the region of its outer circumference, rotatable about an axis 2.2, spokes-less sieve drum 2 for receiving the drug capsules to be sorted 1, which is closed at the end by flanges 2.1 in the region of the outer periphery. At least one roller of the roller pair 2.6 is driven by a motor and the screen drum 2 thereby rotatable.
  • the wall of the screen drum 2 has a plurality of radially inwardly widened funnel-shaped holes 3 of an arbitrarily set, smallest diameter, which break through the wall of the screen drum 2 radially.
  • the wall of the drum 2 is formed by in the circumferential direction sequential, identically formed, flat plates 5, bounded on both sides by grooves in the circumferential direction and with the grooves on guide pin 2.3 of frontal end flanges 2.1, 2.4 of the screening drum 2 are threaded, which extend parallel to the axis of rotation 2.2 of the screening drum 2.
  • a funnel 6 which is open at the top and which is formed at the bottom by a chute, can be removed obliquely from the interior of the falling into the hopper 6 from above into the funnel.
  • the second slide 7 is guided into the interior space 4 and are entered via the new drug capsules 1 to be tested.
  • the second chute 7 may be replaced by a hose or pipe.
  • a receiving device for "good” drug capsules is arranged, since it is intended to supply error-free drug capsules 1, which have passed through the holes 3 of the screen drum 2, the packaging machine, not shown.
  • Fig. 2 shows the device after Fig. 1 in cross-section.
  • the screen drum 2 is formed by the immediately adjacent in the circumferential direction, flat and circumferentially identical plates 5.
  • the screen drum 2 is limited in the longitudinal direction by end flanges 2.1, wherein the end flanges 2.1, 2.4 are connected by parallel to the axis of rotation 2.2 extending evenly distributed in the circumferential direction guide pin 2.3 and wherein the plates 5 are mounted on the guide pin 2.3.
  • the plates 5 are mounted parallel to the axial direction removable on the guide pin 2.3 and can be locked by an attachable to the guide pin 2.3 end flange 2.5.
  • the plates 5 are bounded on both sides in the circumferential direction by parallel to the axis of rotation extending guide and pushed with the guide grooves on the guide pin 2.3.
  • the end flanges 2.1, 2.4 are limited in the region of the outer circumference circular and mounted on a motor-driven roller pair 2.6.
  • the pair of rollers 2.6 and the entire device are made of metal, in this case made of stainless steel. This makes cleaning easy. Electrostatic forces can be dissipated easily.
  • a storage of the screening drum 2 on rubberized rollers is also possible and helps to lower the noise level of the rotating screen drum 2.
  • the rotation of the screen drum 2 is computer controlled temporarily brought to a standstill, if each one of the plates 5 is located above the arranged in the interior of the screen drum, upwardly open hopper 6, wherein mechanical means 7 are present, through which the respective holes in the 3 Drum 2 jammed drug capsules 1 from the holes 3 vertically downwardly ejected and can be thrown into the hopper 6. Thereafter, the screen drum 2 rotates again until a plate 5 is above the funnel 6.
  • the ejection of the defective drug capsules 1 from the holes 3 causing means 7 are formed by mandrels, which are vertically inserted from above radially inwardly into the holes 3.
  • the funnel 6 engages in each case at the same time all holes 3 of a plate 5 and each of the bores 3 contained in the plate 5 is assigned a separate mandrel, as in Fig. 1 indicated.
  • mandrels are attached to a common support 7.1 and at the same time lowered together and parallel to each other in all holes 3 of a plate 5 and removable therefrom.
  • the relevant plate 5 is then subsequently fully usable for carrying out further control operations.
  • the mandrels are releasably attached to the support 7.1, for example by a screw connection. They can be easily replaced in case of damage.
  • the interruption of the rotation of the screen drum 2 and the operation of the mechanical means 7 are programmatically connected and triggered signal-controlled. This can be computer-controlled regularly recurring.
  • the bores 3 have a radially inwardly in the direction of the axis 2.2 in the manner of a Trompetentrichters edge-free, rounded expanded inner diameter. As a result, the medicament capsules impinging on the inner wall easily fall into the bores 3 and optionally parallel to their longitudinal direction.
  • the holes 3 have a smallest inner diameter, which is 0.5 to 1.0 mm larger than the nominal diameter of the drug capsules to be tested 1. This ensures safe operation of all known packaging machines.
  • Fig. 3 shows a section of a plate 5 in plan view from the inside.
  • the holes 3 are bounded by inner surfaces which mutually limit each other on the inside of the screen drum 2 in common cutting edges 5.1.
  • the cut edges 5.1 form in their entirety a mutually in transition honeycomb pattern, as in Fig. 3 shown.
  • impinging drug capsules are distracted by and guided into the trumpet funnels of the holes 3, in which the actual Control takes place.
  • This consists in that the medicament capsules either pass through the bores 3 or become jammed therein and are carried along by the rotation of the sieve drum 2 into a position above the funnel 6, into which they are thrown by the mechanical means 7, which are here formed by pins and led out of the device.
  • the mutual distance parallel to each other extending cutting edges 5.1 of each funnel of the holes 3 is greater than the length of the respective drug capsules to be tested 1.
  • a slight excess of 10 to 50% is sufficient to significantly accelerate the flow of the drug capsules.
  • the cut edges 5.1 have, based on the surface of the plates 5, an uneven wavy course. This helps direct the drug capsules 1 impinging on the surface into the bores and bring them to control
  • the adjacent holes are each assigned to each other on the basis of a rectangular grid each gap.
  • a square or a triangular basic grid can be chosen.
  • a kind of honeycomb pattern of the cut edges in the manner of a honeycomb and an optimal possibility of increasing the permeability of a plate 5 in the area to the greatest possible extent results in the plan view.
