Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a separation device, in particular to an oscillation separation device which can greatly shorten the manufacturing process. Background Art

[0002] 3D printing technology, also known as "incremental manufacturing", is a process of continuously adding and stacking raw materials under computer control. With the advancement and development of science and technology, 3D printing has gradually been applied to many fields in the past decade, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to humanities and arts, from household accessories to environmental reconstruction, from auto parts to rocket shells. Its advantages are fast production and significant reduction in process time and cost. Recently, 3D printing has also been used in medical fields such as medicines.

[0003] Different from the traditional method of using mechanical pressure to make tablets, 3D printers use the concept of stacking to first print a layer of powder, then a layer of powder adhesive, then another layer of powder, and so on to form tablets. The internal structure of the medicine produced by this technology is porous, and due to the high internal surface area, it can be dissolved by a small amount of water in a short time. Just a small sip of water can make the tablets disperse quickly, which is a great blessing for those who have difficulty swallowing.

[0004] In addition, during the 3D printing process, various flavoring agents can be added between the printing steps, so a richer and more diverse flavored product can be provided than before. In addition, 3D printing technology can also adjust the dosage of medicine according to the patient's condition, which can be said to be a major step forward in personalized medicine.

[0005] However, in the process of forming the tablets by 3D printing, since a layer of drug powder and a layer of drug powder adhesive components are alternately stacked layer by layer to form the tablets, a lot of residual powder is generated during the manufacturing process. The residual powder must be cleaned and brushed off from the tablets by a powder removal brush or other equivalent devices, which will result in a considerable amount of time-consuming work and increase production costs.

[0006] Therefore, how to solve the above problems and deficiencies of the prior art is an urgent research and improvement direction for the inventor of the present utility model and related manufacturers engaged in this industry. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the utility model, the vibration separation device of the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is a three-dimensional exploded view and a three-dimensional combination view of the first embodiment of the oscillating separation device of the utility model. As shown in the figure, an oscillating separation device 1 includes a base 10, an elastic support member 11, at least one shell component 12, a screen 15, a discharge port 122 and an opening member 13. In this embodiment, the oscillating separation device 1 is installed in a pharmaceutical factory, and a moving component 8 is also provided in the workstation of the pharmaceutical factory. The moving component 8 includes but is not limited to any components that can achieve the moving function such as slide rails or rollers. The base 10 is mounted on the moving component 8 so as to be able to slide back and forth. Since powder jamming is a very common problem when performing the tablet separation procedure in the pharmaceutical factory, and in response to the problem of drug regulations, the present design is provided. After the oscillating separation device 1 is slid to the outside of the workstation through the moving component 8, the oscillating separation device 1 is directly disassembled and cleaned, and at the same time replaced with a new shell component 12, screen 15, etc., so as to achieve modularization and greatly increase work efficiency.

[0044] The elastic support member 11 also has a first end 110 and a second end 111. The elastic support member 11 can be a spring air pressure damper or other equivalents such as a rubber elastic member. The first end 110 is correspondingly arranged on the base 10, and the second end 111 is correspondingly combined with the shell component 12 so that the shell component 12 is swingably connected to the base 10.

[0045] The shell assembly 12 also includes a first shell 120 and a second shell 121 which are detachably combined with each other. A first space 1200 is formed in the first shell 120, and a second space 1210 is formed in the second shell 121. The first and second spaces 1200 and 1210 are interconnected, and the screen 15 is detachably arranged between the first and second shells 120 and 121 to separate the first and second spaces 1200 and 1210.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the outer periphery of the first shell 120 further protrudes outward to form a first flange 1201, and the outer periphery of the second shell 121 further protrudes outward to form a second flange 1211, and a buffer member 2 is correspondingly clamped between the first and second flanges. It is further explained that the buffer member 2 and the screen 15 can be integrally formed or can be a non-integrated structure, that is, a groove (not shown) is also formed at the second flange 1211 of the second shell 121, and the screen 15 is placed in the groove. By setting the buffer member 2, the effects of preventing external contamination and sealing between the first and second shells 120 and 121 can be achieved, thereby preventing the powder of the sieved material 4 (tablets) from being sprayed to the outside.

[0047] The discharge port 122 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the shell component 12 and is connected to the first space 1200. The opening piece 13 is arranged above the shell component 12 and connects the first and second spaces 1200 and 1210. A sieved material 4 is put into the shell component 12 through the opening piece 13 and discharged to the outside through the discharge port 122. In the utility model, the sieved material 4 is illustrated by a 3D printed tablet.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition, a vibration device 6 is disposed inside the base 10 , and the vibration device 6 includes but is not limited to a motor, which is used to vibrate the shell so that the sieved material 4 in the shell can be vibrated and separated.

[0049] It should also be noted that the shell assembly 12 also has a first fixing member 30 and a second fixing member 31. The base 10 and the second shell 121 are locked together by the first fixing member 30, and the buffer member 2 and the first and second shells 120 and 121 are locked together by the second fixing member 31.

[0050] In addition, a feed assembly 14 is disposed above the opening member 13 , and the feed assembly 14 further extends upward to form an extension portion 140 , which is used to prevent the sieved material 4 from spreading and accelerate the sieved material 4 to flow into the housing assembly 12 .

[0051] It should also be noted that a pressure regulating valve 5 is also provided inside the base 10, and the pressure regulating valve 5 is linked to a pressure regulating device (not shown in the figure). The pressure regulating device includes but is not limited to a blower or an exhaust fan. If a blower is used, it is arranged at the first shell 120, and the generated airflow will blow the screened material 4 downward to accelerate the screening rate. If an exhaust fan is used, it is arranged at the second shell 121, and the gas above is sucked downward by exhaust to accelerate the screening rate.

[0052] Therefore, by virtue of the design of the structure of the present invention, after the staff puts the sieved material 4 (tablet) into the shell assembly 12, the vibration device 6 is then started to shake the first and second shells 120 and 121. At this time, the first and second shells 120 and 121 will sway left and right due to the structure of the elastic support member 11. While the first and second shells 120 and 121 are swaying left and right, the sieved material 4 (tablet) will be screened out of the remaining powder thereon during the swaying process, thereby achieving the effect of removing the remaining powder. In this way, the manufacturing process can be greatly shortened. Since the shell assembly 12 is swung left and right, it can avoid the tablets from bouncing up and down and colliding to cause damage. In addition, the design of the elastic support member 11 achieves a buffering effect, which can greatly reduce the oscillation amplitude of the oscillation separation equipment 1 and does not affect the surrounding environment and surrounding equipment of the pharmaceutical factory.

[0053] In addition, the shell component 12 of the utility model is also connected to at least one collecting box body 7 on the outside, and the sieved material 4 is discharged into the collecting box through the discharge port 122, and the structure of the shell component 12 is designed to be eccentric, so that the oscillating separation device 1 can allow the sieved material 4 (tablets) to flow into the collecting box body 7 by itself during the screening process, which is convenient for collection.

[0054] Finally, please refer to Figure 5 And refer to Figure 2 , is a stereoscopic diagram of the second embodiment of the oscillating separation device of the present invention. Some components of the oscillating separation device and the corresponding relationships between the components are the same as those of the aforementioned oscillating separation device, so they are not repeated here. However, the most important difference between the present oscillating separation device and the aforementioned is that the oscillating separation device 1 of the present invention also has a third shell 123. In other words, the staff can increase or decrease the number of stacked layers of the shell assembly 12 according to the fineness requirements of the sieved material 4, so as to achieve a modular effect.
