Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wet granulation, in particular to a granulator. Background Art

[0002] At present, various pharmaceutical factories will explore the process parameters for the production of granules, capsules and tablets. The early granulation of granules, capsules and tablets requires the use of soft materials for the granulator, and the quality of the soft materials directly affects the quality of granules, capsules and tablets. In order to explore the process parameters of different batches of wet granulation, a single experimental granulator is required to be equipped with pots of different volumes (such as the common 5L and 10L pots, and stirring paddles matched with the pots, etc.), and the pots are replaced frequently. Prior art, such as a granulator with patent number CN 215842840U, has a detachable pot, but the pot needs to be manually carried and is troublesome to assemble. The specific structure is shown in the attached figure of the specification. Figure 1 . Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the invention is to provide a granulator which solves the problem of inconvenient pot body replacement.

[0004] The present invention is implemented as follows, including a granulation container and a drive mounting frame, the granulation container is provided with a side actuator and a bottom actuator, the drive mounting frame is provided with a drive assembly, the drive assembly is respectively connected to the side actuator and the bottom actuator through a horizontal axis and a vertical axis, and is characterized in that: the granulation container is arranged on a container mounting frame that can be separated and combined with the drive mounting frame, the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame are provided with a horizontal positioning assembly, and the drive mounting frame is provided with a lifting drive that can drive the vertical axis to rise and fall and connect and separate with the bottom actuator.

[0005] In the present invention, granulation is carried out in a granulation container. During the granulation process, a driving component is required to process the material in the granulation container. Considering the need to replace the granulation container, a container mounting frame for mounting the granulation container and a driving mounting frame for mounting the driving component can be detachably combined. When the granulation container needs to be replaced, the lifting drive drives the vertical shaft to descend and separate from the bottom actuator, and separates the driving mounting frame from the container mounting frame. At this time, the lateral positioning component is separated and the driving component is separated from the side actuator, thereby completing the separation of the container mounting frame from the driving mounting frame; the granulation container to be replaced is installed by combining the container mounting frame with the driving mounting frame, and after the lateral positioning component is in place, the lifting drive drives the vertical shaft to rise and dock with the bottom actuator, completing the replacement of the granulation container of the granulator, without removing any screws and clamps, and automatically docking is performed by lifting the vertical shaft, thereby completing the replacement of the granulation container, which is convenient and quick.

[0006] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the drive mounting frame and / or the container mounting frame are movable.

[0007] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the drive assembly includes a transverse drive connected to the transverse shaft and a vertical drive connected to the vertical shaft. The transverse drive is detachably connected to the side actuator through the transverse shaft, and the vertical drive is detachably connected to the bottom actuator through the vertical shaft.

[0008] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the vertical shaft includes a separable first shaft and a second shaft, the first shaft is connected to the granulation container, the second shaft is connected to the lifting drive, and the second shaft is connected to the vertical drive through a gear set. When the second shaft is lifted by the lifting drive, the second shaft can be separated and combined with the first shaft, thereby ensuring that the bottom actuator and the side actuator in the granulation container are connected or disassembled with the corresponding drive, and at the same time, the bottom actuator is connected to the vertical drive through the vertical shaft and the gear set, so that the vertical shaft drives the bottom actuator to rotate.

[0009] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the middle of the second shaft is provided with a transmission tooth, the gear set is provided on one side of the second shaft and connected with the transmission tooth. The vertical drive is connected with the gear set, when the gear set moves, the transmission tooth is driven to rotate, and the transmission tooth drives the second shaft to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the bottom actuator.

[0010] A further technical solution of the present invention is that: a control cabinet and an installation cabinet arranged on one side of the control cabinet are arranged on the drive mounting frame, and the height of the installation cabinet is smaller than that of the control cabinet. The height of the installation cabinet is smaller than that of the control cabinet, so that when the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame are docked or disassembled, the granulation container can be placed above the installation cabinet by horizontal movement, and then the vertical connection between the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame is realized by lifting the vertical shaft in the installation cabinet.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the granulation container is arranged on the top of the container mounting frame, and a receiving space for receiving the mounting cabinet is arranged at the bottom of the granulation container. The space design is reasonable, and the granulation container can be placed above the mounting cabinet by horizontally moving the container mounting frame or driving the mounting frame, which is convenient for vertical connection.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present invention is that: a position sensor is provided on the container mounting frame and / or the drive mounting frame. When the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame are docked in place, a signal is sensed by the position sensor, and the docking is completed.

[0013] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the lateral positioning assembly includes a positioning rod provided on the drive mounting frame and a positioning sleeve provided on the container mounting frame. When the container mounting frame and the drive mounting frame are docked, the positioning sleeve cooperates with the positioning rod to play a guiding and positioning role, thereby ensuring the lateral positioning of the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: in the present invention, granulation is carried out in a granulation container, and during the granulation process, a driving component is required to process the material in the granulation container. Considering the need to replace the granulation container, a container mounting frame for mounting the granulation container and a driving mounting frame for mounting the driving component can be detachably combined. When the granulation container needs to be replaced, the lifting drive drives the vertical shaft to descend and separate from the bottom actuator, and separates the driving mounting frame from the container mounting frame. At this time, the lateral positioning component is separated and the driving component is separated from the side actuator, thereby completing the separation of the container mounting frame from the driving mounting frame; the granulation container to be replaced is installed by combining the container mounting frame with the driving mounting frame, and after the lateral positioning component is in place, the lifting drive drives the vertical shaft to rise and dock with the bottom actuator, completing the replacement of the granulation container of the granulator, without removing any screws and clamps, and automatically docking is performed by lifting the vertical shaft, thereby completing the replacement of the granulation container, which is convenient and quick.
