Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical equipment, in particular to an oscillation type reduced pressure distillation hydration equipment for preparing complex injection. BACKGROUND

[0002] The thin film hydration method is a classic preparation method for high-end complex drug preparations such as liposomes and micelles. Specifically, the carrier material and the drug are dissolved by an organic reagent, and then the solution is placed in a round-bottom flask. The material forms a thin film on the inner wall of the flask after rotary evaporation under reduced pressure. Then a certain amount of buffer solution is added, and the flask is shaken to make the thin film hydrate and fall off, forming a uniform liquid, and then forming the preparation.

[0003] The thin film hydration method includes two processes of film evaporation and oscillation hydration. The essence of the film evaporation process is to remove the organic reagent by reduced pressure distillation, leaving a solid thin film layer. At present, the film evaporation process is completed by using a rotary evaporator. Due to the limitation of the volume of the rotary evaporation flask, the preparation amount of this process is quite limited. In order to realize mass production, production enterprises often use multiple rotary evaporators to divide the same batch of products into different rotary evaporators for rotary evaporation. After rotary evaporation, the rotary evaporation flask is disassembled and transferred to the hydration equipment. The whole process is complex and tedious, and the quality of the same batch of drugs is also uneven. From the safety point of view, large-volume rotary evaporation flasks are usually used in industrial production. Considering that the rotary evaporation flask is made of glass and contains organic reagents inside, this process can easily induce safety accidents. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides an oscillation type reduced pressure distillation hydration equipment for preparing complex injection. The present application uses multiple evaporation boxes instead of rotary evaporation round-bottom flasks, which expands the one-time evaporation capacity and realizes the scale-up production of related drug preparations in industrial production. Through the vacuum pump and the heater, an ideal thin film layer is formed at the bottom of the box, and the whole preparation method of thin film hydration is also integrated into the equipment, avoiding the risk of contamination of the material during transfer.

The evaporation box realizes three-axis six-direction reciprocating motion under the cooperation of the oscillation cavity, thereby improving the film forming efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] According to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown in Fig. 1, an oscillation type reduced pressure distillation water preparation equipment for complex injection preparation comprises an oscillation cavity 1, a plurality of partitions 2 are arranged in the oscillation cavity 1, and the oscillation cavity 1 is provided with wave vibration devices; an evaporation box 3, which is a cavity structure arranged on each partition 2, and the bottom of any one end of the evaporation box 3 is provided with a discharge interface 4, the top of both ends of the evaporation box 3 is connected and provided with vacuum feeding pipes 5, the vacuum feeding pipes are all penetrated through the outer wall of the oscillation cavity 1 through interfaces and connected with valve pipelines, and the bottom of the evaporation box 3 is provided with a heater 7; a vacuum pump 8, which is connected with the vacuum feeding pipes 5 through the valve pipelines. The top of the evaporation box 3 is further provided with a pressure balance port, the pressure balance port is provided with a pressure valve 25, which is used for releasing the pressure in the evaporation box 3. Wherein, a plurality of column plates 23 perpendicular to the bottom plate can be arranged in the evaporation box 3, which makes the mixing and heat transfer of the internal substances of the evaporation box 3 more uniform during the water preparation process. The heater 7 is electrically connected with a control power supply through cables penetrated through the outer wall of the oscillation cavity 1, and in addition, the heater 7 can also realize the heating function in a fluid circulation mode.

[0025] In the setting, the evaporation box 3 adopts a box body with a wide bottom area instead of a rotary evaporation round bottom flask, by controlling the volume of the solution added into the box body, under the action of the vacuum pump 8 and the heater 7, an ideal thin film layer can be formed at the bottom of the box body under the condition of constant temperature and reduced pressure distillation. Meanwhile, by increasing the bottom area of the evaporation box 3 and the number of the evaporation boxes 3, the scale-up production of related drug preparations in industrial production can be realized, and the problem that the evaporation and film formation using the rotary evaporation instrument in the traditional method is difficult to be scaled up in industrial production is solved.

[0026] In addition, the equipment also integrates the whole preparation method of the thin film water preparation, so that the preparation process is simplified, and the risk of contamination of the materials in the transfer is avoided.

[0027] The valve pipeline comprises a feed pipe 9 fixedly arranged at both ends of the oscillation cavity 1; the feed pipe 9 is provided with a plurality of branch pipes 10 respectively connected with the interfaces of the vacuum feed pipe 5, the branch pipes 10 are realized by high-pressure hoses, and each branch pipe 10 is provided with a first valve 11; one end of the feed pipe 9 is connected with the vacuum pump 8 through an exhaust valve 12; and one end of the feed pipe 9 away from the exhaust valve 12 is provided with a feed port, and the feed port is provided with a feed valve 14.

[0028] In this arrangement, the cooperation of the first valve 11, the exhaust valve 12 and the feed valve 14 realizes the feeding of a single evaporation tank 3 and the negative pressure distillation operation; the vacuum pump 8 can individually vacuumize each evaporation tank 3, instead of vacuumizing the entire cavity of the equipment, which not only improves the vacuumizing efficiency, but also avoids the corrosion of the organic reagent to the inner wall of the equipment and the leakage of the organic reagent.

[0029] The cold trap 15 is arranged between the exhaust valve 12 and the vacuum pump 8, and is used for collecting the discharged organic reagent to protect the vacuum pump 8.

[0033] With the above settings, the evaporator 3, in conjunction with the oscillation chamber 1, achieves triaxial and six-directional reciprocating motion, thereby improving film formation efficiency.

[0034] In practical applications, it includes two working stages: the evaporation film formation stage and the hydration stage.

[0035] In the evaporation film formation stage, the feed pipe 9 is first connected to the evaporation box. The solution is added to the evaporation box 3 by opening the feed valve 14 to complete the feeding. Then, the evaporation box 3 is heated by the heater 7. After that, the vacuum pump 8 is started and the exhaust valve 12 is opened to carry out depressurized evaporation. At the same time, the pressure inside the evaporation box 3 is balanced by controlling the pressure valve 25. Since the evaporation box 3 has a transparent observation hole 26, the material inside the evaporation box 3 can be observed.

[0036] After vacuum distillation is complete, the solute forms a uniform film at the bottom of the evaporator 3. The vacuum pump 8 and exhaust valve 12 are then closed, and the feed valve 14 is opened to allow the hydration medium to be fed into the evaporator 3 through the feed pipe 9. Since the evaporator is under negative pressure at this time, rapid material intake is achieved. After feeding is complete, the feed valve 14 is closed, and the evaporator's wave vibration device is activated, while the heater 7 is controlled to enter a constant-temperature oscillation mode until a stable and uniform micelle solution is formed. Finally, the hydrated solution is collected through the discharge port 4 and transferred to the next unit for subsequent processes.

[0037] After the process is completed, the cleaning solution is fed into the evaporator 3 through the feed pipe. After cleaning, it is discharged from the outlet. In addition, the heater 7 can be turned on to perform high-temperature steam sterilization on the evaporator. After sterilization, the pressure valve 25 is used to release the pressure in the evaporator.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
