帰する。On the other hand, the first defective capsule is detected by the detectors 34, 5.
During the rotational conveyance period from the detection point at the installation position of No. 6 to the discharge point, the quality of each subsequent empty capsule 23 passing through the detection point is determined.
The defect identification detection signal is sequentially transmitted to the shift 1 register 35 following the detection signal of the first defective capsule. If the step angle of the filling hole 11 is 5 degrees, if a defective capsule detection signal is recorded at 30' rear), this signal is transmitted to the sequencer 36, and the sequencer 36 detects the rotation angle built into the positioner 37. The sixth program from among the instruction programs, a program that pauses after rotating an additional 30 degrees from the Zunawara discharge point, is activated, and this causes the second supply, which was 30 degrees behind the first defective supply capsule, to rotate. The defective capsules are swiveled to a discharge point. At the same time, the second defective capsule detection signal in the rear sixth stage is sequentially shifted to the next stage as the filling disk 1 rotates, and when the filling disk 1 rotates 30 degrees, 35, and the second defective capsule detection signal activates the automatic discharge sequence program of the sequencer 36 again, and after discharging the defective capsules from the system in the above operation order It will automatically return to operation.

カプセルの自動排出装置。[Claims] 1. A series of steps including separating the cap from the body of the supplied empty capsule, filling the body with drug powder, reattaching the cap to the body, and transporting the product capsule. In a continuous capsule filling machine, a detector detects and records a poorly fed capsule at the position before the body and cap are recombined after drug powder is filled, and the position after the body and cap are recombined is recorded. At the same time, suction is applied from above the holder hole of the cap holder, and compressed air is ejected from the filling hole of the filling disk into the holder hole, and the push-up pin pushes up the mal-supplied capsule, causing it to stick to the mal-supplied capsule and the filling hole. An automatic method for discharging poorly supplied capsules, characterized by discharging residual drug powder and particles out of the system of a capsule filling machine and automatically returning the machine. 2. A split disk-shaped cap holder having a plurality of filling holes drilled on the same circumference of the filling disk and a holder hole that overlaps with the filling holes is rotated at the same speed as the filling disk. At the same time, the cap holder is sequentially moved up and down by the cam mechanism, the cap is separated from the body of the empty capsule supplied to the holder hole of the cap holder, the drug powder is filled into the body, and the cap is reattached to the body. In a capsule filling machine that continuously carries out product capsules, defective capsule detectors are installed above and below and on the inner and outer peripheries of the holder hole where the cap holder after filling the drug powder is isolated from the filling disk. The position is used as a detection point, each detector is connected to a shift register, and the detection signal of a poorly fed capsule from each detector is recorded in the shift register. At the top, there is a discharge short having a suction port at one end and a dust collector connected at the other end, a compressed air pipe that supplies compressed air from an air hole communicating with the filling hole below the filling hole that overlaps with the holder hole; A push-up pin that moves up and down across the filling hole and the holder hole is provided, and this position is used as a discharge point, and the discharge chute is sucked and stopped, the compressed air is ejected and stopped from the compressed air pipe, and the push-up pin is raised and lowered. A sequencer is provided, which is connected to the shift register, and incorporates a normal operation program and a plurality of rotation angle instruction programs dividing the interval between the detection point and the discharge point by the drilling pitch of the filling hole, that is, the holder hole. A servo driver for a servo motor for rotating the positioner, the filling disk, and the cap holder. An automatic ejection device for poorly supplied capsules, characterized in that the device is connected to the device. 3. A program that sets a counter corresponding to each filling hole of the filling disk in the sequencer, and automatically stops the operation of the capsule filling machine when multiple defective capsules are consecutively supplied to each filling hole. 3. The automatic ejection device for poorly fed capsules according to claim 2, wherein the device incorporates: 4. Set a counter corresponding to each filling hole of the filling disk in the sequencer, and automatically stop the operation of the capsule filling machine if a defective capsule is continuously supplied to a specific filling hole every rotation. 4. The automatic ejecting device for defective capsules according to claim 2, further comprising a program for discharging capsules having a malfunctioning supply. 5. Set a cumulative counter for the number of times malfeeding capsules occur in the sequencer, and install a program that automatically stops the operation of the capsule filling machine when the number of times malfeed capsules occur reaches a preset number within a certain period of time. 5. The automatic ejection device for poorly fed capsules according to any one of claims 2, 3, and 4.
