Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical equipment, in particular to a tablet coating device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine tablets usually use a coating device to coat the outer surface of the tablet core with a sugar coating or film. The coating device uses an electrical automatic control method to spray the coating auxiliary materials onto the surface of the tablet with a high-atomization spray gun, so that the coating liquid is wrapped on the tablet core, and it is dried at the same time, so that a surface film coated on the tablet surface is quickly formed. However, during the use of the existing tablet coating device, since the air flow can only be discharged from the position where the hot air pipe extends after the hot air pipe enters the coating pot, this air outlet method causes uneven coating on the surface of the tablet, and when using a spray gun to spray the liquid medicine, when too much liquid medicine is sprayed, it is easy to cause the tablets to stick to each other, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the tablets. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a tablet coating device which can effectively and evenly coat the surface of a tablet.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0005] A tablet coating device comprises a main body, a motor, a liquid medicine spraying part, a hot air blower, a coating pot, and a shaping air duct; the upper end of the shaping air duct is connected to the end of the hot air blower outlet duct, and the lower end is connected to a hot air hood; the outlet end face of the hot air hood is parallel to the opening end face of the coating pot; a plurality of through holes are opened on the wall of the coating pot; and the controller on the main body is electrically connected to the motor and the hot air blower respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, the through holes are divided into three groups and are centrally symmetrically distributed on the coating pot wall.

[0007] Furthermore, the hot air hood is shaped like a cone hood that is small at the top and large at the bottom.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the air outlet end of the hot air hood is smaller than the diameter of the end surface of the coating pan opening.

[0017] The specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these implementation methods is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in each implementation method of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-3As shown, a tablet coating device includes a main body 1, a motor 3, a liquid medicine spraying part 5, a hot air blower 2, a coating pot 4, and a shaping air duct 6; the upper end of the shaping air duct 6 is connected to the end of the air outlet of the hot air blower 2, and the lower end is connected to a hot air hood 7; the outlet end face of the hot air hood 7 is parallel to the open end face of the coating pot 4; a plurality of through holes 41 are provided on the pot wall of the coating pot 4; the controller 8 on the main body 1 is electrically connected to the motor 3 and the hot air blower 2 respectively. The motor 3 can provide driving power for the coating pot 4. The liquid medicine spraying part 5 evenly sprays the coating liquid for the tablets in the coating pot 4 through the spray gun arranged thereon. The hot air blower 2 is arranged inside the main body 1, and can provide hot air when the tablets are coated. The coating pot 4 is the main place for tablet coating. The shaping air duct 6 can be moved, and when coating, it is moved to the opening of the coating pot 4 to effectively ensure that the hot air cover 7 set on the shaping air duct 6 is parallel to the opening end surface of the coating pot 4, and ensure that the hot air inside the coating pot 4 is evenly distributed. The controller 8 can control the operation of the motor 3 and the hot air blower 2. The controller 8, the motor 3, and the hot air blower 2 are all commercially available products and are prior art.

[0019] Specifically, in order to ensure that the coating liquid sprayed inside the coating pot 4 does not seep out too much and accumulate inside the cavity of the coating pot 4, the through holes 41 are divided into three groups and are symmetrically distributed on the wall of the coating pot 4. This method can also allow the hot air to take away excess impurities such as water vapor during the discharge process.

[0020] Specifically, in order to evenly distribute the hot air when it enters, the hot air hood 7 is shaped like a cone hood that is small at the top and large at the bottom.

[0021] Specifically, in order to ensure that the hot air completely enters the inner cavity of the coating pot 4 and facilitates the spray gun of the liquid spraying part 5 to spray the tablets with coating liquid, the diameter of the air outlet end of the hot air hood 7 is smaller than the end face diameter of the opening of the coating pot 4.

[0022] As another embodiment, a dust collecting unit 9 is further included; the dust collecting unit 9 includes a dust collecting hood 91, an exhaust fan 92, and an exhaust pipe 93; the middle of the dust collecting hood 91 is fixedly connected with the exhaust fan 92; the air outlet of the exhaust fan 92 is connected with the exhaust pipe 93; the exhaust fan 92 is electrically connected to the controller 8. The dust collecting unit 9 effectively absorbs impurities such as water vapor inside the coating pot 4 to ensure the cleanliness of the operating space.

[0023] As another embodiment, in order to facilitate cleaning and prevent excess coating liquid from being discharged to the ground through the through hole 41 to affect the working environment, a collecting barrel 10 is also included, and the collecting barrel 10 is located directly below the coating pot 4.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] When performing tablet coating, first put the tablet to be coated into the inner cavity of the coating pot 4, move the outlet end face of the hot air hood 7 to a state parallel to the open end face of the coating pot 4 by moving the shaping air duct 6, move the liquid medicine spraying part 5 to a predetermined position, spray the tablet with coating liquid through the spray gun of the liquid medicine spraying part 5, and then start the motor 3 and the hot air blower 2 through the controller 8. The motor 3 rotates to drive the tablet inside the coating pot 4 to move and evenly wrap the coating liquid. The hot air blower 2 and the through hole 41 form a reasonable air inlet and outlet form to ensure that the tablet can be evenly dried during coating without excess water vapor residue. The discharged water vapor effectively absorbs the water vapor and other impurities inside the coating pot 4 through the dust suction part 9 to ensure the cleanliness of the operating space. When the coating pot 4 is cleaned, the cleaning liquid can be discharged into the collection bucket through the through hole 41, and the excess coating liquid of the coating pot 4 during rotation can be discharged into the collection bucket 10 through the through hole 41 to prevent the coating liquid from being discharged to the ground and affecting the working environment.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
