The present utility model provides a
plunger pump for fabricating soft capsules, which
plunger pump includes a switch body and a
plunger body interconnected to each other, a
rotary switch adapted to the switch body, and a plunger rod adapted to the plunger body. The switch body and the plunger body are connected to form an
accommodation space, the switch body has a liquid suction hole and a
liquid injection hole both communicative with the
accommodation space, the plunger body has a channel for accommodating the plunger rod, and the
rotary switch has a notch and is closely press-fit to the switch body to form a hermetic surface. It is possible to switch between the opening and the closing states of the liquid suction hole and the
liquid injection hole. The plunger rod performs a linearly reciprocating movement in the channel so that the
accommodation space periodically reaches a maximum value of capacity and a minimum value of capacity. The present utility model employs the structure of a
rotary switch, which is sealed with zero gap, to switch between the opening and the closing states of the liquid suction hole and the
liquid injection hole, whereby it is substantially free of leakage of medical solution and there is no mixing and dissolving with lubricating oil during normal operation of the
plunger pump, to thereby enhance the precision in the loading amount and eliminate the problem of
contamination of the medical solution by the lubricating oil.
