[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a freeze-drying weighing device, including:

[0031] A weighing sensor 6, a freeze-drying tray 1, a fixture 7 and a connection component and other components;

[0032] The fixture 7 is fixed on the freeze-drying shelf;

[0033] The weighing sensor 6 is arranged on the fixture 7, and the fixture 7 supports the weights of the weighing sensor 6, the connection component, the freeze-drying tray 1 and the freeze-dried material;

[0034] The connection component connects the freeze-drying tray 1 and the weighing sensor 6, and the weighed freeze-dried material is placed on the freeze-drying tray 1 and weighed by the weighing sensor 6.

[0035] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, a fixing part 2 is provided on the freeze-drying tray 1. The fixing part 2 has a hollow structure and is composed of a frustum part and a cylindrical part spliced together. The frustum part is provided with a clamping groove that is connected to the connecting component and maintains circumferential positioning therebetween. Along the fixing part 2 to the edge of the freeze-drying tray 1, at least a pair of protrusions are further provided. The protrusions are located below the weighing sensor 6. Therefore, a limiting groove 3 is formed directly below the weighing sensor 6 to block the movement of the material bottle to below the weighing sensor 6 and prevent the material bottle with a relatively large height from jamming the weighing sensor 6.

[0036] As Figures 3 to 4 shown in the figure, the connecting component includes a tray clamping column 4 and a ring lock 5. The tray clamping column 4 passes through the fixing part 2 of the freeze-drying tray 1 and is connected to the ring lock 5. The tray clamping column 4 includes an arc-shaped rib plate and a T-shaped column. The arc-shaped rib plate is in male-female fit with the clamping groove of the fixing part 2, and the connection between the frustum part of the fixing part 2 and the tray clamping column 4 is designed as a conical inclined plane, which can ensure the smooth sliding of the ring lock 5 within the conical protrusion, so that there is a buffer distance when the lower freeze-drying plate layer 10 lifts the tray, and it can avoid hard damage to the weighing sensor 6. The T-shaped column is rotatably connected to the ring lock 5. The ring lock 5 includes a groove 501 axially passing through the T-shaped column and a locking part 503 for rotating and locking the T-shaped column. The locking part 503 includes a buffer part 502 and a sinking part. The T-shaped column is held by rotating through the buffer part 502 and continues to rotate to the sinking part to lock the T-shaped column. The sunken clamping groove design of the ring lock 5 also has a buffer section for the connection with the arc-shaped rib plate at the top of the tray clamping column 4, and it can also avoid hard damage to the weighing sensor 6.

[0037] As Figures 5 to 6 shown in the figure, the fixture 7 includes: a lower layer plate, which is bolted to the weighing sensor 6; an upper layer plate, which is provided with a threaded hole for screwing in the hand-tightening bolt 9; a connecting plate, which connects one side of the upper layer plate and the lower layer plate. The height of the connecting plate is greater than the thickness of the freeze-drying plate layer, so that part of the freeze-drying plate layer can be placed into the fixture 7. The wear-resistant pad 8 is placed above the lower layer plate, directly below the threaded hole of the upper layer plate, and then the hand-tightening bolt 9 is used to adjust the fixation of the fixture 7 and the freeze-drying plate layer, so as to realize the indirect contact between the hand-tightening bolt 9 and the freeze-drying plate layer and fix the freeze-drying plate layer, which can prevent the thread of the hand-tightening bolt 9 from scratching the freeze-drying plate layer.

[0038] The lower layer plate is of an I-shaped structure. The lower layer plate is provided with two rows of holes, and the holes of the lower layer plate include a first hole close to the freeze-drying plate layer and a second hole close to the weighing sensor 6. The first hole is larger than the second hole. The lower layer plate is bolted to the weighing sensor 6, so that the bolts are hidden inside the lower layer plate and do not affect the fixation of the freeze-drying plate layer.

[0039] A pair of screws connect the screw holes of the load cell 6 with the screw holes of the lower layer plate of the fixture 7 to form a suspension device. The lower layer plate of the fixture 7 is connected to the load cell 6 by countersunk head screws, which can achieve a tight fit between the top surface of its lower layer plate and the bottom surface of the freeze-drying plate layer, keeping the load cell 6 in a horizontal state and ensuring that the force application direction is perpendicular to ensure the accuracy of measurement.

[0040] As Figure 7 shown, a lower freeze-drying plate layer 10 is placed below the freeze-drying tray 1. The lower layer plate is connected to an external control system to lift and lower the freeze-drying tray 1, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the freeze-drying tray 1 during the freeze-drying process.

[0041] The installation method of the present utility model is as follows:

[0042] First, connect the screw holes of the lower layer plate of the fixture 7 with the screw holes at one end of the load cell 6 by countersunk head screws, and then connect the screw holes at the other end of the load cell 6 with the screw holes of the ring lock 5 by screws;

[0043] Secondly, pass the tray clamping post 4 upwards through the fixing part 2 at the center of the freeze-drying tray 1, and snap the four arc-shaped rib plates into the card slots of the frustum part; the T-shaped post passes through the groove 501 of the ring lock 5 and then rotates successively to the buffer part 502 and the sinking part, so as to connect the whole formed by the freeze-drying tray 1 and the tray clamping post 4 with the ring lock 5;

[0044] Finally, place the upper freeze-drying plate layer 11 above the lower layer plate of the fixture 7, place the wear-resistant pad 8 on the plate layer, directly below the threaded hole of the upper side plate of the fixture 7, and screw the hand-tightening bolt 9 into the threaded hole of the upper side plate of the fixture 7 and then into the wear-resistant pad 8 to fix the upper freeze-drying plate layer 11 and the fixture 7, completing the installation of the whole device.

[0045] The operation principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0046] Put the vials into the freeze-drying tray 1. As Figure 7 shown, the lifting and lowering of the freeze-drying tray 1 rely on the up and down movement of the lower freeze-drying plate layer 10. The up and down displacement of the lower freeze-drying plate layer 10 is controlled by the freeze-drying oil cylinder receiving the signal of the displacement sensor. When the lower freeze-drying plate layer 10 lifts the freeze-drying tray 1, it is the normal freeze-drying process. When the lower freeze-drying plate layer 10 moves down and the freeze-drying tray 1 is suspended, it is the weighing process. In this way, it circulates repeatedly to complete multiple weighings.

[0047] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
