Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of granule manufacturing technology, specifically to a device for preparing granules for granulation. Background Technology

[0002] Bian Nai Tong granules, a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, have a complex composition, containing various medicinal ingredients with significantly different physical properties. In particular, the light, fibrous ingredients (such as senna leaf powder) are prone to static electricity and floating at the top of the mixing chamber during mixing due to their low density and large specific surface area. Meanwhile, ingredients with high sugar content (such as mulberry powder) are highly hygroscopic and viscous, easily agglomerating and forming clumps during mixing. These differences in physical properties make it difficult for traditional mixing equipment to achieve uniform mixing of the materials.

[0003] In existing technologies, the raw materials for Bian Nai Tong granules, namely the lightweight fibrous senna leaf powder and the sticky, hygroscopic mulberry powder, often exhibit uneven mixing due to their significant differences in physical properties. Existing mixing equipment cannot effectively address the issue of senna leaf powder floating to the top of the mixing chamber due to its low density and tendency to generate static electricity. Simultaneously, it cannot effectively prevent mulberry powder from agglomerating and forming clumps due to its high sugar content and strong hygroscopicity. This results in noticeable discoloration and uneven component distribution in the mixed material, severely impacting subsequent granulation quality and the efficacy stability of the final product.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned search and combined with existing technologies, a device for preparing naitong granules is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

A stirring blade 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 3. A drive motor 5 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the bracket 2 on the left side of the mixing chamber 3, and the output shaft of the drive motor 5 is connected to the left side wall of the stirring blade 4 to drive the stirring blade 4 to rotate within the mixing chamber 3. A feed inlet 6 is provided on the top surface of the mixing chamber 3 for feeding in the raw materials for the senna granules, including but not limited to senna leaf powder and mulberry powder. A granulator 7 is located on the right side of the workbench 1, and a discharge valve 8 is located on the bottom surface of the right side of the mixing chamber 3.

[0023] The actuator is mounted on the workbench 1 and includes a water tank 21, a connecting column 22, a water pump 23, an ion gun 24, a suction pipe 25, a connecting pipe 26, a flexible hose 27, and a nozzle 28.

A nozzle 28 is located on the rear side wall of the industrial camera 14, and the nozzle 28 is connected to the flexible hose 27.

[0024] A power distribution box 29 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the workbench 1 to supply power to electrical equipment such as the drive motor 5, servo motor 20, water pump 23, and ion gun 24. A controller 30 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the workbench 1, which is electrically connected to the processor 17, drive motor 5, servo motor 20, water pump 23, and ion gun 24, and is used to coordinate and control the workflow of the entire device.

[0025] Working principle: In use, the raw material for the senna leaf powder is fed into the mixing chamber 3 through the feed inlet 6. The drive motor 5 is started to rotate the stirring blade 4 to mix the materials. At the same time, the controller 30 starts the servo motor 20 to drive the reciprocating screw 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting block 13 and its attached industrial camera 14 and electrostatic charge monitoring probe 15 to reciprocate along the moving groove 12 to monitor the materials in the mixing chamber 3 in all directions in real time. The material image signal collected by the industrial camera 14 and the electrostatic signal collected by the electrostatic charge monitoring probe 15 are transmitted to the processor 17. The processor 17 analyzes the floating concentration and distribution area of ​​senna leaf powder in the image through an image recognition algorithm, and at the same time judges the severity of electrostatic agglomeration of mulberry powder based on the electrostatic signal intensity. When the floating of senna leaf powder and / or electrostatic agglomeration of mulberry powder are detected in a certain area, the processor 17 generates a corresponding control command and sends it to the controller 30. According to the received command, the controller 30 starts the water pump 23 and the ion gun 24 in the actuator. Water pump 23 pumps water from water tank 21 into connecting column 22 through suction pipe 25 and connecting pipe 26. Ionized gas flow generated by ion air gun 24 enters connecting column 22 through another connecting pipe 26. Inside connecting column 22, water and ion air mix to form a humidity-controlled gas-liquid two-phase flow, which is delivered to nozzle 28 through hose 27 and finally sprayed from nozzle 28 onto the problematic material area. The sprayed humidity-controlled ion air mist has a dual function: on the one hand, the mist increases the humidity of the local area, moistens the surface of mulberry powder, reduces its viscosity, breaks up the formed clump structure, and prevents static electricity from regenerating; on the other hand, the positive and negative ions in the ion air effectively neutralize the static electricity carried on the surface of senna leaf powder, eliminates electrostatic repulsion, and causes it to fall back into the mixed body under the action of gravity. The processor 17 dynamically adjusts the water output rate of water pump 23 and the ion air intensity of ion air gun 24 according to the severity of the detected problem through controller 30, so as to achieve precise and adaptive treatment of floating and clumping problems of different severity. Once the mixture is homogeneous and meets the process requirements, the discharge valve 8 is opened, and the mixed material enters the pellet mill 7 through the pipe 9 for subsequent pelletizing.

[0026] To improve granule quality, the liquid medicine in the mixing chamber 3 can be filtered before granulation. In this embodiment, a concentrator can be installed at the inlet of the granulator, and a liquid medicine filter can be installed at the outlet of the discharge valve 8. The outlet of the liquid medicine filter is connected to the inlet of the concentrator through a material passage pipe 9. The material discharged from the discharge valve 8 of the mixing chamber 3 is filtered by the filter and then enters the concentrator through the material passage pipe 9 for concentration. After forming a concentrated liquid, it is pumped into the granulator for granulation.

[0027] The drug solution filter, concentrator, and granulator are all existing technologies. In the embodiments of this application, the concentrator is a double-effect concentrator. After filtration, the drug solution is concentrated by the double-effect concentrator at 60°C to a concentrated solution with a relative density of 1.20-1.25 (measured at 20°C).

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
