Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical equipment, and particularly relates to a granulator. BACKGROUND

[0002] The granulator mainly comprises a feeding system, a stirring system, a granulating system, a transmission system and a lubricating system, and is widely applied in the pharmaceutical industry, the chemical industry and the food industry.

[0003] Publication No. CN203730763U discloses a wet granulator main shaft compressed air blowing sealing device, which comprises a pressure regulating valve, the pressure regulating valve is connected with a pneumatic joint through a pipeline, the pneumatic joint is installed on the side wall of a compressed air flow guide flange, the compressed air flow guide flange is sleeved on the outer periphery of a main shaft sleeve, the top of the compressed air flow guide flange is connected with a positioning sealing flange, a gas flow guide distribution ring and a combined sealing ring are sequentially arranged between the positioning sealing flange and the main shaft sleeve from top to bottom, the compressed air flow guide flange, the positioning sealing flange and the gas flow guide distribution ring are internally provided with a gas flow channel, and a VD sealing ring is arranged between the main shaft and a stirring paddle connected with the main shaft. Although the granulator can realize the cleaning and sealing of the device through the compressed air flow sealing, the granulator has certain defects, mainly reflected in that the gas pressure is adjusted by the pressure regulating valve, that is, the pressure value of the entering gas is limited, and then the air compressor needs to maintain a continuous high pressure output state, the high pressure output state leads to the increase of energy consumption and the rapid triggering of the overheat protection mechanism of the air pump in the air compressor, because the air compressor stops working when the overheat protection mechanism is triggered, so that the air flow sealing mechanism is paused, but the granulation needs a certain time, and therefore the continuous air flow sealing mechanism cannot be realized only by the pressure regulating valve, and the powder cannot be completely prevented from contacting with the non-hygienic parts and the lubricating grease in the main shaft system.

[0004] Publication No. CN113578191A discloses a wet granulator, which comprises a support seat, a granulating pot, an upper frame body, a lower plate body, a first air cylinder, a second air cylinder, a multi-stage filter screen and a stirring assembly, … and is located above the granulating pot. The top end of the lower plate body is provided with a material collecting groove. When producing, the granulator produces blocky raw materials through the granulating pot. The first air cylinder drives the lower plate body to rise. The granulating pot moves upward with the lower plate body until the stirring assembly is located inside the granulating pot. The stirring assembly is started to stir the raw materials into particles and enter the material collecting groove to discharge through the first discharge hole and the second discharge hole. Although this method can complete granulation and discharge, it has certain defects, mainly in the discharge method. The discharge here is mainly completed through the first discharge hole and the second discharge hole, i.e. corresponding to the first discharge collection and the second discharge collection. The main reason is that the initiative of the particles is relatively limited during discharge. During discharge, the particles only rely on mutual extrusion when the collecting groove is full. However, when the number is reduced to the point where extrusion disappears, it is no longer possible to discharge. Even if the second discharge hole is located at the bottom of the lower plate body, there will still be a small part of the particles in the collecting groove. Moreover, the space provided for the operator is relatively small. Each time the granulating pot needs to be removed from the lower plate body before complete discharge. The process is complicated. At the same time, the first air cylinder driving the lower plate body of the granulating pot can only provide simple upward / downward linear motion for the granulating pot and cannot assist in discharging.

[0005] Publication No. CN208612388U discloses a wet granulator convenient to clean, which comprises a pot body, an upper cover is assembled on the upper end of the pot body through bolts, … The motor A, the motor B and the motor C are electrically connected with the PLC controller. The granulator has a spraying device for spraying the pot body. The spraying device mainly comprises an annular pipe and a plurality of nozzles. The annular pipe is used to pass water, and the nozzles are used to spray the water in the annular pipe onto the pot body. Although this method can achieve cleaning, it has certain defects. Because the nozzles have a certain volume, the number of nozzles arranged on the annular pipe is very limited, and the distance between each spraying point is large, so the covered area is small. Moreover, the spraying device can only be static, i.e. cannot rotate, so it cannot compensate for the small covered area. Therefore, it can only achieve comprehensive cleaning by gradually filling the pot body with water. The cleaning efficiency is low, and manual intervention may be required. SUMMARY

[0043] The top of the lower connecting part 73 is provided with a groove 73-a, the side wall of the groove 73-a is inclined and the opening faces the preset interval, the inner bottom is provided with a V-shaped body 73-a1, the side wall of the V-shaped body 73-a1 combines with the side wall of the groove 73-a to form a “W”-shaped converging surface 50; the bottom surface of the upper connecting part 72 is provided with a boss 72-b extending into the groove 73-a, the second water channel 72-a extends into the boss 72-b and penetrates to form a water outlet, the side wall of the boss 72-b is inclined and the inclination is consistent with the inclination of the side wall of the groove 73-a. The inner diameter of the second water channel 72-a is configured to be large at the top and small at the bottom. Due to the decrease of the inner diameter, the water flow rate and the cross-sectional water pressure will increase sharply, thereby forming a converging water flow, so that the water flow enters the preset interval in a jet manner, which is the first aggregation of the water flow. Then, the converging water flow collides with the “W”-shaped converging surface 50, the water flow impact force and the wall reaction force interact, and the water flow is aggregated in two directions under the action of the forces, so that the flow rate in the preset interval is increased. At the same time, the boss 72-b shortens the distance between the water outlet and the converging surface 50, so that the part with a reduced inner diameter is also close to the converging surface 50, thereby making the water flow impact force and the wall reaction force generated when the converging water flow collides with the converging surface 50 stronger, and the water flow in the preset interval faster.

[0044] The preset interval is provided with a connecting lug 60 for connecting the upper connecting part 72 and the lower connecting part 73, the connecting lug 60 is provided with a flow guide hole 601 arranged in the direction of the water flow and allowing the water flow to pass through. Since there is no direct connection between the lower connecting part 73 and the outer connecting part 71, in order to maintain the preset interval, the connecting lug 60 is provided, which is welded to the lower connecting part 73 and threaded to the upper connecting part 72 (the upper connecting part 72 is provided with a threaded groove matched with the threads). The configuration of the flow guide hole 601 is consistent with that of the second water channel 72-a, so that the effect generated when the water flow passes through is consistent with that generated by the second water channel 72-a, and the flow rate of the water flow is also improved.

[0045] The lower connecting part 73 is externally provided with a plug-in part 70, and a plurality of guide bodies 701 are arranged in a circular array around the center of the plug-in part 70. The guide bodies 701 extend from the top end to the bottom end of the plug-in part 70 while deflecting to one side, and a flow channel 701-a for dispersing water flow is formed between adjacent guide bodies 701. The bottom end of the guide body 701 extends below the plug-in part 70 so that the outlet of the flow channel 701-a is exposed in the partitioned space, and the width of the flow channel 701-a gradually narrows from the inlet to the outlet. The plug-in part 70 realizes the connection with the lower connecting part 73 and is used to arrange the guide bodies 701. The arrangement of the guide bodies 701 allows a large number of guide bodies 701 to be used, and the position that can be reached by the spray is also large. Only the width of the guide body 701 needs to be controlled. In addition, the water flow can rotate when passing through each flow channel 701-a, which can accelerate the propulsion of the water flow. The arrangement of the width of the flow channel 701-a can further increase the flow rate of the water flow, so that the water sprayed to the pot body is more powerful. In this way, the stirring shaft 3 can also ensure the spraying distance and intensity of the spray water flow when it is static (not rotating). In order to ensure the accuracy of the spray, the bottom end of the guide body 701 extends below the plug-in part 70 so that the outlet of the flow channel 701-a is exposed in the partitioned space. In this way, the water flow sprayed will not hit the inner wall of the outer connecting part 71, but will be directly sprayed on the pot body of the material bin 2.

[0046] Although the present application has been illustrated and described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details can be made therein without departing from the scope of the claims.
