Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drug storage technology, and more specifically, to a raw material drug storage device that prevents clumping. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of various drugs involves the storage and preservation of raw materials. The storage of raw materials is crucial in the production process. If they are not stored properly, they will become damp and clump together, eventually leading to the deterioration of the drug and rendering it unusable.

[0003] Currently, the common method for addressing drug moisture absorption is to periodically test the internal humidity and moisture content of stored raw materials. If the measured values ​​exceed the standard values, it indicates that the raw materials have begun to absorb moisture. Therefore, once moisture absorption is detected, the raw materials need to be transferred to drying equipment for drying to remove the moisture before being transferred back to storage equipment for continued storage. This method is complex, requiring frequent transfers of the raw materials between storage and drying equipment, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0004] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the existing method of periodically testing stored raw materials and then transferring them to drying equipment to remove moisture is complex, requires frequent transfer of raw materials between storage and drying equipment, and is inefficient. The purpose is to provide a raw material storage device that avoids clumping, can monitor the internal humidity during drug storage, and can automatically introduce hot air to dry the raw materials when the humidity exceeds the standard, eliminating the need to transfer the drugs back and forth between multiple devices, and providing good drying effect and convenient operation.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A raw material drug storage device to prevent clumping includes a horizontally placed storage cylinder, the inside of which has a storage cavity, the storage cavity being hourglass-shaped with larger ends and a smaller middle.

[0008] The inner wall of the storage cylinder and the outer wall of the storage cavity form a cavity structure as a ventilation cavity, which is connected to a gas source.

[0009] A humidity sensor is installed inside the storage cavity;

[0010] The inner wall of the storage cavity is provided with a spiral protrusion along the axial direction, which surrounds the inner wall of the storage cavity.

[0011] The storage cylinder is provided with a drive structure on its exterior to drive the storage cylinder to rotate horizontally around an axis.

[0012] The humidity sensor sends a monitoring signal to the controller, which then activates the drive structure to rotate the storage cylinder and simultaneously opens the air source to introduce hot air into the ventilation chamber.

[0013] This invention can monitor the humidity inside the drug during storage. When the humidity exceeds the standard, it can automatically introduce hot air to dry the raw drug. There is no need to transfer the drug back and forth between multiple devices. Moreover, the drying effect is good and the operation is convenient.

[0014] This invention relates to a storage device that, during the storage of raw pharmaceutical materials, incorporates a humidity sensor to monitor the humidity content of the drug at regular intervals. When the humidity exceeds a set value, the sensor sends this information to a controller. The controller then activates a drive mechanism to rotate the storage cylinder. Simultaneously, a gas source is activated to introduce hot air into the ventilation chamber. This hot air diffuses throughout the entire ventilation chamber, drying the continuously rotating raw pharmaceutical materials within the storage chamber. By incorporating a ventilation chamber and a rotation drive mechanism into the storage device, this invention enables automatic rotational drying of raw pharmaceutical materials when they become damp during storage. The entire operation can be completed within a single device, eliminating the need for frequent transfers between drying equipment and storage facilities.

[0015] In addition, by setting spiral protrusions on the inner wall of the storage cavity, this utility model can play a role in causing the raw material to move axially during the rotation of the storage cavity, so that the raw material moves laterally during the rotation and avoids clumping.

[0016] In one specific embodiment, the rotation direction of the spiral protrusion is symmetrically arranged from both ends of the storage cavity towards the middle, and the rotation direction is set so that the raw material moves axially from both ends of the storage cavity towards the middle. In this way, the raw material at both ends can gradually move to the middle, and then return to both ends under the action of the inclined inner wall of the storage cavity with an hourglass structure, thereby enabling the raw material in the cavity to be fully flipped during the rotation process.

[0017] In one specific embodiment, the helical spacing of the spiral protrusions gradually decreases from both ends of the storage cavity toward the middle, which can control the axial movement speed of the raw material during the rotation of the storage cavity.

[0018] In one specific embodiment, a transmission gear ring is provided on the outer walls of both ends of the storage cylinder, and a drive gear that meshes with the transmission gear ring is provided below the storage cylinder. The drive gear is connected to a drive motor.

[0019] This invention employs a gear ring and gear transmission structure on the outer sides of both ends of the storage cylinder to achieve rotation of the storage cylinder, which makes it easier to control the rotation speed and makes the rotation of the storage cylinder more stable and smooth.

[0020] In one specific embodiment, the spiral ridge is hollow inside and communicates with the ventilation cavity, forming a spiral channel extending along a spiral line around the outside of the storage cavity.

[0021] This invention features a hollow spiral protrusion that connects to a ventilation cavity, allowing hot air entering the ventilation cavity to fill the spiral channel, thereby increasing the heat transfer area between the hot air and the raw drug and improving the drying effect of the drug.

[0022] In one specific embodiment, an end plate is provided at one end of the storage cylinder, the interior of the end plate is also hollow and communicates with the ventilation cavity, and a ventilation pipe is rotatably connected to the center of the outer side of the end plate.

[0023] In one specific embodiment, support brackets are also provided at both ends of the storage cylinder, and the ends of the support brackets are rotatably connected to the storage cylinder. By providing support brackets, this invention improves the overall stability of the storage device during rotation.

[0024] In one specific embodiment, multiple partition nets are also installed in the storage cavity along the axial direction.

[0025] This invention features a dividing mesh. When the storage cylinder rotates, the medicine rotates along with it and moves laterally under the action of the spiral convex ridges. During the lateral movement, the medicine can pass through the dividing mesh, thereby fully dispersing the medicine and preventing clumping.

[0026] In one specific embodiment, multiple partitions are coaxially connected by a rotating rod, the end of which passes through the end of the storage cylinder and is connected to a rotary motor.

[0027] This invention connects multiple separators via a rotating rod. Driven by a rotary motor, the rotating rod can rotate the separators, causing relative rotation between the separators and the storage cavity, which further stirs and disperses the raw materials.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the storage cylinder has an inlet and outlet on its side wall for feeding and discharging raw materials.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. The present invention provides a raw material storage device that avoids clumping. It can monitor the humidity inside the drug during storage. When the humidity exceeds the standard, it can automatically introduce hot air to dry the raw material. There is no need to transfer the drug back and forth between multiple devices. Moreover, the drying effect is good and the operation is convenient.

[0031] 2. The present invention provides a raw material storage device that avoids clumping. By setting a ventilation chamber and a rotary drive structure on the storage device, it can automatically rotate and dry the raw material when it gets damp during storage. The entire operation process can be completed in one device without the need for frequent transfer between the drying device and the storage device.

[0032] 3. The present invention provides a raw material storage device to prevent clumping. By setting a spiral protrusion on the inner wall of the storage cavity, the raw material can move axially during the rotation of the storage cavity, so that the raw material moves laterally during the rotation, thereby preventing clumping.

[0033] 4. The present invention provides a raw material storage device to avoid clumping. The rotation direction of the spiral protrusion is such that the raw material moves axially from both ends of the storage cavity to the middle. In this way, the raw material at both ends can gradually move to the middle, and then return to both ends under the action of the inclined inner wall of the storage cavity with an hourglass structure. Thus, the raw material in the cavity can be fully flipped during the rotation.

[0034] 5. The present invention provides a raw material storage device that avoids clumping. The device uses a hollow spiral protrusion that is connected to a ventilation cavity. In this way, the hot air entering the ventilation cavity can also fill the spiral channel, thereby increasing the heat transfer area between the hot air and the raw material and improving the drying effect of the drug.

[0035] 6. By setting up a dividing mesh, multiple dividing meshes are connected by a rotating rod. When the storage cylinder rotates, the drug rotates along with it and moves laterally under the action of the spiral convex ridge. During the lateral movement, the drug can pass through the dividing mesh, thereby fully dispersing the drug and preventing clumping. At the same time, the rotating rod can drive the dividing mesh to rotate under the drive of the rotating motor, so that the dividing mesh and the storage cavity will rotate relative to each other, further playing a stirring and dispersing role for the raw drug.
