Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of capsule production, in particular to a sterilizing device used for capsule production. Background Art

[0002] Drugs packed in capsules are generally powders or granules that are irritating to the esophagus and gastric mucosa, or have a bad taste, are easy to volatilize, are easily decomposed by saliva in the mouth, and are easily inhaled into the trachea. Putting these drugs into capsules not only protects the drug properties from being destroyed, but also protects the digestive organs and respiratory tract. Removing the capsule shell may cause drug loss, drug waste, and reduced efficacy. In addition, some drugs need to be dissolved and absorbed in the intestine. Capsules are a kind of protection to protect the drugs from being destroyed by gastric acid. In medicine, it refers to a capsule made of special film-forming materials (such as gelatin, cellulose, polysaccharides, etc.), into which the contents (such as powdered, liquid drugs, etc.) or according to dosage are loaded for easy swallowing. Sterilization refers to the use of physical or chemical methods to kill all microorganisms, including pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms and spores, to achieve a sterile assurance level. Among them, in the manufacturing process of capsules, sterilization needs to be carried out in the last step.

[0003] After searching, it was found that the publication number is CN216570874U, and the name is a sterilization equipment for capsule production. The application proposes that in the actual production of capsules, the structure of the equipment for sterilizing capsules is relatively complicated, which is not convenient for inspection and maintenance, and the small equipment accessories are prone to damage due to long-term use during operation. The material baffle set can effectively avoid the accumulation of capsules at the entrance. During sterilization, the sterilization effect is not thorough. At the same time, the multiple sterilization lamps set can fully sterilize the capsules. At the same time, the microwave drying heater set can fully sterilize the capsules due to the length of the sterilization lamp and the mutual cooperation between them. At the same time, the N-type sterilization lamp fixing block set can effectively To increase the stability of the sterilization lamp, however, in actual use, microwave drying and heating sterilization requires high temperature, which belongs to high-temperature sterilization, and the capsule material is not resistant to high temperature, and it is easy to gelatinize or break in a high-temperature sterilization environment, or the evaporation of water in the capsule causes it to become brittle and cannot be packaged and used, which is very risky. Moreover, the capsule cannot be effectively turned over during the transportation process, and the sterilization lamp mainly sterilizes by irradiation. The inability to effectively turn it over affects the uniformity of sterilization and the uniformity of heating sterilization, thereby affecting work efficiency. At the same time, the microwaves generated by the microwave drying heater will affect the metal components inside the sterilization lamp, causing discharge, affecting the service life of the sterilization lamp, thereby causing instability in the overall structure, and further improvements can be made.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Utility Model Content
