Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of orodissolving film detection, in particular to an automated orodissolving film detection device. Background Art

[0002] Orodispersible film is a new type of drug dosage form, which has the characteristics of rapid disintegration, easy to carry, and no water required for taking. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, health care and food industries. It releases drugs or active ingredients by quickly dissolving in the mouth, and has good bioavailability and patient compliance. However, during the production process, orodispersible film is prone to quality problems such as uneven thickness, poor solubility, and insufficient mechanical strength due to improper material ratios and process control. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality stability of orodispersible film products and meet the requirements of relevant standards, it is necessary to use high-precision and automated testing equipment to conduct comprehensive testing of orodispersible films, covering key indicators such as thickness, strength, and dissolution rate, so as to ensure product performance and safety.

[0003] At present, the testing of orodispersible films mainly relies on manual measurement and semi-automatic equipment. Manual measurement is usually completed by visual inspection, manual operation, etc., which is suitable for small-batch production, but it is inefficient and has limited accuracy. Semi-automatic testing equipment usually uses optical measurement, pressure testing or immersion testing, which can detect some indicators (such as thickness and dissolution rate), but the equipment has a single function and the testing process requires manual participation, which is not suitable for large-scale, comprehensive quality control. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an automated orodispersible film detection device, which solves the problems that the device has a single function, the detection process requires manual participation, and is not suitable for large-scale detection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: an automated orodissolving film detection device, comprising an outer cover, wherein a conveyor belt module, a detection module, a sorting module, a transmission module, a blocking mechanism, an alarm module and a control module are arranged inside the outer cover; The conveyor belt module includes a conveyor belt, a driver and a spacer plate, which are used to carry and convey products. The spacer plate is used to maintain the distance between products, and the driver drives the conveyor belt to move at a constant speed. The detection module includes a plurality of high-precision probes, a sensor module connected to the high-precision probes, a probe base and a left-right adjustment mechanism, and is used to detect the thickness and defects of the orodissolving film product; The sorting module includes a manipulator assembly, a linear slide rail, a controller and a vacuum suction cup. The sorting module controls the vacuum suction cup through the controller to sort the products into qualified or unqualified areas according to the detection results of the detection module; The transmission module includes a driving wheel group, a follower wheel group, a servo drive device and a frame, and the servo drive device drives the conveyor belt module to operate through the driving wheel group and the follower wheel group; The blocking mechanism includes a blocking rod, a blocking actuator and a baffle, which are used to dynamically position or temporarily block the product during its transmission; The alarm module includes an audible and visual alarm device, which triggers an alarm signal when a plurality of consecutive unqualified products are detected; The control module includes a display screen, a data processing unit and a control circuit board, which are used to receive signals from the detection module and the sensor module, and output control instructions to the sorting module and the blocking mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the high-precision probe has a repeatability of 0.001 mm and is capable of detecting orodispersible film products with a thickness ranging from 0.18 mm to 0.24 mm.

[0007] Preferably, the controller is arranged on a linear slide rail, and can move along the slide rail direction and grasp the product through a vacuum suction cup.

[0008] Preferably, the alarm module includes an audible and visual alarm device, which triggers an alarm signal when unqualified products are detected.

[0009] Preferably, the control module can record the thickness and defect data output by the detection module in real time, and display the detection statistical information on a display screen, including the qualified rate, unqualified rate and the location of unqualified products.

[0010] Preferably, the left-right adjustment mechanism comprises a sliding rail and an adjustment assembly, and the sliding rail can be adjusted laterally according to the width of the orodissolving film product to ensure the contact stability between the high-precision probe and the product.

[0011] A method for using an automated oral dissolving film detection device comprises the following steps: S1. Use the robot assembly to perform unloading operations, and place the orodispersible film product to be tested on the conveyor belt according to the testing requirements. The servo drive device in the transmission module drives the conveyor belt to transport the product to the testing module at a constant speed to ensure the stability of the product during the transmission process.

[0012] S2. The product passes through two high-precision probes in the detection module. The probes collect the thickness and surface defect data of the product in real time, and transmit the data to the control module through the sensor module. The system software stores the collected thickness and defect data and compares them with the set standard range. If the thickness is within the standard range and there is no defect, it is judged as qualified. If it exceeds the range or a defect is detected, it is judged as unqualified.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings of the present invention specification to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automated orodissolving film detection device, including an outer cover 1, inside which are arranged a conveyor belt module 2, a detection module 3, a sorting module 4, a transmission module 5, a blocking mechanism 6, an alarm module 7 and a control module 8; the device can realize fully automated detection and sorting of orodissolving film products, mainly through the coordinated work of each module to complete the product's transportation, detection, result determination and classification processing, significantly improving the detection efficiency and accuracy. The conveyor belt module 2 includes a conveyor belt 504, a driver 201 and a partition plate 202, which are used to carry and transport products, wherein the partition plate 202 is used to maintain the product spacing to ensure that each product can independently enter the detection module 3 for detection, and the driver 201 drives the conveyor belt 504 to move at a constant speed, thereby ensuring the smooth transmission of the product. Through the constant speed transmission method, the jitter and position deviation of the product caused by uneven speed during the detection process can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the detection accuracy. The detection module 3 includes a plurality of high-precision probes 301, a sensor module 302 connected to the high-precision probes 301, a probe base 304 and a left-right adjustment mechanism 303, which are used to detect the thickness and defects of the orodissolving film product. The high-precision probe 301 has a repeatability of 0.001 mm, and can detect orodissolving film products with a thickness ranging from 0.18 mm to 0.24 mm, and transmits the detection data to the control module 8 in real time for analysis and processing through the sensor module 302. The sensor module 302 model is GT2-P12K, which is an existing traceable technology. The left-right adjustment mechanism 303 includes a sliding guide rail and an adjustment component. The sliding guide rail can be adjusted laterally according to the width of the orodissolving film product to ensure the contact stability between the high-precision probe 301 and the product. This module can quickly complete a one-time detection of the surface and internal characteristics of the product, and ensure efficient data collection and processing. The sorting module 4 includes a manipulator assembly 401, a linear slide 402, a controller 403 and a vacuum suction cup 404. The sorting module 4 controls the vacuum suction cup 404 to sort the product into a qualified or unqualified area according to the detection result of the detection module 3 through the controller 403. The controller 403 is arranged on the linear slide 402, and can move along the slide direction and grab the product through the vacuum suction cup 404 to achieve fast and accurate sorting action. The adsorption force of the vacuum suction cup 404 is intelligently adjusted by the controller 403 according to the detection result of the product, which not only ensures the safe sorting of qualified products, but also avoids product damage caused by insufficient or excessive suction, thereby improving the reliability of sorting. The transmission module 5 includes a driving wheel group 501, a follower wheel group 502, a servo drive device 503 and a frame 505. The servo drive device 503 drives the conveyor belt module 2 to run through the driving wheel group 501 and the follower wheel group 502 to ensure the smooth movement of the product on the entire transmission path. The driving wheel set 501 provides the main power, while the follower wheel set 502 further ensures the support of the product during the conveying process, reducing the deviation and vibration of the product during operation.The blocking mechanism 6 includes a blocking rod 601, a blocking actuator 602 and a baffle 603, which are used to dynamically position or temporarily block the product during its transmission. The blocking actuator 602 controls the dynamic movement of the blocking rod 601 and the baffle 603 through the signal sent by the control module 8, which can accurately position the product in transmission and prevent the product from affecting the detection or sorting process due to deviation. Through this module, the equipment can ensure that the products enter the detection module 3 one by one for detection, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the detection. The alarm module 7 includes an audible and visual alarm device, which triggers an alarm signal when multiple consecutive unqualified products are detected, and reminds the operator to check the equipment operation status and product status. The setting of the alarm module 7 ensures the intelligent monitoring capability of the equipment during operation, helps to timely discover production abnormalities, and prevent unqualified products from flowing into subsequent links. The control module 8 includes a display screen, a data processing unit and a control circuit board, which are used to receive signals from the detection module 3 and the sensor module 302, and output control instructions to the sorting module 4 and the blocking mechanism 6. The control module 8 can record the thickness and defect data output by the detection module 3 in real time, and display the detection statistics on the display screen, including the qualified rate, unqualified rate and the location of unqualified products. These statistical information provides operators with a reference for real-time production data, which helps to quickly adjust production parameters to improve product quality. Through the coordinated operation of various modules, this equipment realizes a fully automated production process from product transportation, detection to sorting. Its principle is based on the detection data acquisition of the high-precision probe 301 and the signal analysis of the control module 8, combined with the stable transmission of the transmission module 5 and the intelligent sorting action of the sorting module 4, to ensure the high efficiency, accuracy and stability of the detection of orodispersible film products.

[0021] A method for using an automated oral dissolving film detection device comprises the following steps: S1. Use the manipulator assembly 401 to perform material unloading operations, and place the orodispersible film product to be tested on the conveyor belt 504 according to the testing requirements. The servo drive device 503 in the transmission module 5 drives the conveyor belt 504 to transport the product to the testing module 3 at a constant speed to ensure the stability of the product during the transmission process.

[0022] S2. The product passes through two high-precision probes 301 in the detection module 3. The probes collect the thickness and surface defect data of the product in real time, and transmit the data to the control module 8 through the sensor module 302. The system software stores the collected thickness and defect data and compares them with the set standard range. The thickness of qualified products is 0.24mm, and the thickness of unqualified products is 0.18mm.

[0023] S3. According to the judgment result of the control module 8, the sorting module 4 performs the following operations: Unqualified products: The robot assembly 401 grabs the unqualified products and places them in the unqualified unloading area.

[0024] Qualified products: The robot assembly 401 places the qualified products on the qualified conveyor line and enters the subsequent process.

[0025] Working principle: The working principle of the automatic orodissolving film testing equipment is as follows: After the equipment is started, the conveyor belt module 2 drives the conveyor belt 504 to run at a constant speed through the driver 201, and cooperates with the driving wheel group 501 and the follower wheel group 502 to achieve stable product transportation. At the same time, the spacer 202 is used to maintain the product spacing. The blocking mechanism 6 ensures that the products enter the detection module 3 in order for detection through the dynamic adjustment of the blocking rod 601 and the baffle 603. In the detection module 3, the high-precision probe 301 is kept stable by the probe base 304, and is adapted to products of different widths under the adjustment of the sliding guide rails of the left and right adjustment mechanism 303. The product thickness and surface defect data are collected in real time, and the sensor module 302 transmits the data to the control module 8 for analysis and judgment. The control module 8 determines whether the product is qualified according to the set thickness of qualified products of 0.24mm, the thickness of unqualified products of 0.18mm and the defect standard, and displays the detection statistics on the display screen in real time, including the qualified rate, the unqualified rate and the position of the unqualified product. When multiple products fail to meet the standards, the alarm module 7 triggers an audible and visual alarm to remind the operator to check the problem. For the sorting module 4, the controller 403 drives the manipulator assembly 401 and the vacuum suction cup 404 through the linear slide rail 402, and places the qualified products in the qualified area or transfers them to the subsequent process according to the test results, and the unqualified products are sorted to the unqualified unloading area. The entire system is managed by the control module 8 to achieve intelligent linkage of transportation, detection, sorting and alarm, ensuring the efficiency, accuracy and stability of product quality detection.
