Manufacturing device for gelatin capsule

Abstract

Provided is a manufacturing device for a gelatin capsule structured to include a pair of medicinal solution supply units configured to supply medicinal solutions being filled in the capsule while adopting most of structures of an existing manufacturing device for a soft capsule. The device is capable of manufacturing capsules where one capsule is charged with medicinal solutions different from each other, or is capable of increasing productivity compared to the existing manufacturing device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A manufacturing device for a gelatin capsule, the device comprising:
 a sheet manufacturing unit configured to manufacture a thin film-shaped sheet;   a capsule manufacturing unit comprising a pair of manufacturing rolls configured to manufacture a capsule with the sheet manufactured by the sheet manufacturing unit; and   medicinal solution supply units configured to supply a medicinal solution to an inside of the sheet being turned into a capsule, wherein   the medicinal solution supply units are installed in a pair.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the medicinal solution supply units are installed at respective positions behind the pair of the manufacturing rolls, and medicinal solutions being input are the same medicinal solution. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the medicinal solution supply units are installed at respective positions behind the pair of the manufacturing rolls, and medicinal solutions being input are the medicinal solutions different from each other. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the manufacturing roll manufactures capsules, where one capsule is charged with the medicinal solutions different from each other. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a cavity formed on a surface of each of the manufacturing rolls of the capsule manufacturing unit is configured such that an inner space thereof is divided into a first space and a second space,
 wherein the cavity is formed with a pressing part protruding from the surface of the manufacturing roll,   wherein the pressing unit comprises an outer side pressing part continuously surrounding an edge of the cavity, and   a first inner side pressing part and a second inner pressing part formed between the first space and the second space, which are divided at the inside of the cavity,   wherein one space is formed between the first inner pressing part and the second inner pressing part.   
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the capsule manufacturing unit comprises:
 a wedge configured to inject the medicinal solution supplied thereto into the capsule, and   a distribution plate installed on a top portion of the wedge and configured to receive the medicinal solution from the medicinal solution supply unit,   wherein the distribution plate is formed with injection holes configured to inject the medicinal solution, the injection holes being arranged in a number of two rows on each of the left and right of the distribution plate, wherein the number of two rows is the same as that of medicinal solution supply nozzles formed on one side of one of two medicinal solution supply units, and   the wedge is formed with discharge holes each of which is in communication with corresponding one of the injection holes and configured to inject the medicinal solution into the capsule in a capsule manufacturing process,   wherein a discharge hole in communication with one medicinal solution supply nozzle formed on one side of one medicinal solution supply unit and a discharge hole in communication with one medicinal solution supply nozzle formed on one side of another medicinal solution supply unit, as a unit, are arranged corresponding to the first space and the second space, respectively, of the cavity.
