[0033] The present utility model will be described more specifically by way of example with reference to the attached drawings in the following paragraphs. The advantages and features of the present utility model will be clearer according to the following description. It should be noted that the attached drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise scales, only for conveniently and clearly assisting in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0034] This embodiment provides a drug-loaded microsphere quantitative mixing device, including: a mixing tank 2, a discharging valve 13, a sterile rotating device, a feeding device, and a counting device.
[0035] The mixing tank 2 is provided with a feeding port on its tank cover, and the feeding port is connected to the feeding device; the discharging valve 13 is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 2; the sterile rotating device and the counting device are respectively provided at the side wall of the tank body of the mixing tank 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, by providing a feeding port on the tank cover of the mixing tank 2, and the feeding port is connected to the feeding device, the microspheres and excipients are respectively added into the mixing tank 2 through the feeding device and the feeding port at different adding times, avoiding the leakage risk caused by manual operation. In addition, the present utility model is also provided with a sterile rotating device and a counting device, which cooperate with each other to achieve the uniform mixing of the microspheres and excipients. A discharging valve 13 is also provided at the bottom of the mixing tank body, which can achieve accurate discharging. Compared with the traditional manual mixing, using the above-mentioned drug-loaded microsphere quantitative mixing device is easy to operate, reduces the labor cost, and improves the finished product conversion efficiency.
[0037] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above-mentioned drug-loaded microsphere quantitative mixing device is not limited to the microsphere production line, but can also be other types of pharmaceutical production lines.
[0038] In this embodiment, the feeding device includes a feeding valve and a sterile feeding pipeline.
[0039] Specifically, the feeding valve is arranged on the sterile feeding pipeline; one end of the sterile feeding pipeline is connected to the feeding port, and the other end is connected to the feeding control device.
[0040] More specifically, a PID proportional control valve and a front-end switching valve are also arranged on the sterile feeding pipeline.
[0041] The PID proportional control valve is used to control the flow rate of the microspheres. After sieving, the wet microspheres enter the mixing tank 2 through the sterile feeding pipeline. At this time, the feeding valve is opened to control the microspheres in the sterile feeding pipeline to enter the mixing tank 2 at a certain rate. When the PID proportional control valve is closed, the microspheres no longer enter the mixing tank 2. The exhaust nozzle 12 on the tank cover of the mixing tank 2 is opened to prevent the internal pressure of the tank from being too high. At this time, the front-end switching valve is opened to control the auxiliary materials to enter the mixing tank 2.
[0042] In a specific example, the feeding valve 1 can be a metering feeding valve 1 to further control the microspheres and auxiliary materials added to the mixing tank 2.
[0043] In a specific example, the feeding pipeline is a sterile feeding hose; a sterile environment needs to be maintained between the feeding valve and the sterile feeding pipeline; one end of the sterile feeding hose connected to the feeding port also needs to be kept sealed so that the microspheres and auxiliary materials are in a sterile environment, preventing external contaminants from entering and improving the finished product conversion efficiency.
[0044] Furthermore, the sterile rotating device includes a sterile rotating bearing 11 and a crank 3.
[0045] Specifically, the crank 3 is welded to the side wall of the mixing tank body; the sterile rotating shaft is connected to the crank 3 through a flange, and the sterile rotating bearing 11 is sleeved outside the sterile rotating shaft.
[0046] After the microspheres and auxiliary materials are filled, the discharge valve 13 and the exhaust nozzle are closed. The relevant operators wear sterile isolator gloves and rotate the crank 3 to repeatedly turn and shake the microspheres and auxiliary materials in the mixing tank 2 through the sterile flange bearing. Compared with manual shaking, the above shaking method is more time-saving and labor-saving.
[0047] In a specific example, the handle of the crank 3 is set in a petal shape and is designed with anti-slip to facilitate grasping. Those skilled in the art can select the specific shape of the handle of the crank 3 according to actual needs.
[0048] In order to monitor the mixing process, ensure sufficient mixing time, enable the materials to fully contact and be evenly mixed, a counting device is also provided at the side wall of the mixing tank body in this embodiment to count the number of turns the crank 3 rotates. The counting device includes: a counter 5 and a counter fixing bracket 4.
[0049] Specifically, the counter fixing bracket 4 is fixed on the side wall of the mixing tank body; the counter 5 is installed on the counter fixing bracket 4.
[0050] In a specific example, the counter fixing bracket 4 is welded to the side wall of the mixing tank body, and there is a hole inside the fixing bracket. The counter 5 passes through the hole. The counter 5 can be fixed to the fixing bracket by welding or other means, or the counter 5 can be placed in the hole for convenient replacement later.
[0051] Before the mixing operation, according to the process requirements, the number of turns required to be rotated when the mixture is uniform can be preset in the counter 5 in advance. Rotate the crank 3, and the counter 5 counts the number of turns the crank 3 rotates. When the number of turns the crank 3 rotates reaches the preset value, open the discharge valve 13 provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 2. The discharge valve 13 can more accurately control the discharge speed and discharge amount, so that the product is evenly and equally distributed into the freeze-drying trays for subsequent processing.
[0052] Furthermore, in order to maintain the stability of the equipment and the convenience of operation, and enable the feed inlet on the lid of the mixing tank 2 to be connected to the drug-loaded microsphere quantitative mixing device through a sterile feed pipeline, the device further includes a height adjustment rod 10, a height adjustment handwheel 6, a balance adjustment member, a mounting bracket 9, and a rectangular base.
[0053] The height adjustment handwheel 6 is fixed to one side of the height adjustment rod 10 through an adjustment nut 7; the height adjustment rod 10 is fixed to the sterile rotation device.
[0054] In this embodiment, by rotating the height adjustment handwheel 6, the height adjustment rod 10 can be adjusted to expand and contract vertically through the adjustment nut 7, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the mixing tank 2.
[0055] Mounting brackets 9 are respectively and obliquely fixed to both sides of the height adjustment rod 10. The bottoms of multiple mounting brackets 9 are respectively fixed at the four top corners of the rectangular base, and the balance adjustment member is arranged at the bottom of the rectangular base.
[0056] During the specific operation process, adjust the four leveling feet 8 to make the rectangular base parallel to the ground, so that the mixing tank 2 is also in a horizontal position. Then rotate the height adjustment handwheel 6, and the height adjustment rod 10 can be contracted up and down, thereby adjusting the position height of the mixing tank 2.
[0057] In this embodiment, the mixing tank 2 is placed inside the inner cavity of the aseptic isolator, which is a device used in high-cleanliness requirement fields such as biopharmaceuticals, microbial culture, and cell culture. It can provide a sterile environment to prevent the microspheres and excipients from being contaminated by external microorganisms.
[0058] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model and its equivalent technologies, the present utility model is also intended to include these changes and modifications.
