Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fluidized beds for pharmaceutical dispersion granulation, in particular to a fluidized bed device with uniform air flow distribution. Background Art
[0002] In the process of pharmaceutical production, fluidized beds are usually used to mix drugs and excipients evenly, which is beneficial to the subsequent granulation process. In the fluidized bed, gas is sprayed upward from the bottom to disperse the drugs and excipients. If the gas spraying is uneven, caking is likely to occur. Currently, most of the gas spraying discs used in fluidized beds are fixed, and the nozzles on the spraying disc are mostly arranged in a ring. Multiple nozzles are installed on the same air duct. However, the gas tends to leave from the nearest outlet. Therefore, there will be a phenomenon that the air flow pressure is high in some areas of the spraying disc and low in some areas, resulting in uneven air flow distribution. Secondly, a fixed air flow spraying area will be formed in the area with high air flow pressure, and the drug particles tend to be dispersed in the non-air flow spraying area. Thus, the movement trajectories of the drug particles are mostly similar, making the drug dispersion uneven and prone to caking. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a fluidized bed device with uniform air flow distribution, aiming to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0004] The embodiment of this application provides a fluidized bed device with uniform air flow distribution. A rotatable flow splitting disc is installed inside the mixing chamber of the fluidized bed. The flow splitting disc is rotationally connected to the inner wall of the mixing chamber through a clamping block; a plurality of spiral air jet groups are evenly arranged on the flow splitting disc. The starting points of the plurality of spiral air jet groups are all located at the center of the flow splitting disc, and the endpoints extend towards the edge of the flow splitting disc; each spiral air jet group includes an intake branch pipe extending in a spiral line. A plurality of outlet pipes are arranged on the intake branch pipe, and nozzles are installed at the ends of the outlet pipes; the outlet pipes and the nozzles are densely distributed near the starting point of the spiral line and sparsely distributed near the end of the spiral line;
[0005] An intake main pipe is arranged at the central axis of the flow splitting disc. The intake branch pipe in each spiral air jet group is communicated with the intake main pipe; the intake main pipe extends out from the lower end of the flow splitting disc and is rotationally connected to a charging pipe;
[0006] A shallow groove is formed on the lower end surface of the flow splitting disc. Teeth are arranged on the inner wall of the shallow groove. A driving gear is connected to the shallow groove through tooth engagement. The driving gear is in transmission connection with a motor.
[0007] Further, the extending curve of the intake branch pipe is a Fibonacci spiral.
[0008] Further, an outer sleeve pipe is sleeved outside the intake main pipe. The outer sleeve pipe is fixedly connected to the flow splitting disc; a chassis is arranged below the driving gear. The chassis is rotationally connected to the outer sleeve pipe and is relatively fixed to the clamping block.
[0009] Furthermore, ball bearings are provided between the edge of the flow dividing plate and the clamping block. Accommodating grooves are respectively formed in the clamping block and the flow dividing plate corresponding to the ball bearings, and the flow dividing plate is movably connected to the clamping block through the ball bearings.
[0010] Furthermore, there are two driving gears, which are symmetrical about the intake main pipe. Motors are connected to the shafts of both driving gears.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: the flow dividing plate of the present utility model can rotate in the mixing chamber, and multiple groups of nozzles distributed in the shape of Fibonacci spiral lines are arranged on the surface of the flow dividing plate. Therefore, the airflow ejected by the flow dividing plate is rotating, dispersed, uniform and there is no fixed airflow ejection area. Thus, the movement trajectory of the pharmaceutical particles is more complex and it is difficult to form agglomerates, thereby enhancing the dispersion effect of the fluidized bed.

The air outlet pipe 5 and the nozzle 6 are located at the end and midpoint of each line segment of the Fibonacci spiral, so that the air outlet pipe 5 and the nozzle 6 are densely distributed near the starting point of the spiral and sparsely distributed near the tail end of the spiral. In conjunction with the rotating diverter plate 1, the gas ejected from the diverter plate 1 is in the shape of a Fibonacci spiral, so that the airflow can be fully dispersed in the mixing chamber.
[0021] An air intake pipe 7 is arranged at the center axis of the flow distribution plate 1, and the air intake pipe 4 in each spiral jet group 3 is connected to the air intake pipe 7; the air intake pipe 7 extends from the lower end of the flow distribution plate 1 and is rotatably connected to the inflation pipe 9 through a rotary joint 8.

The driving gear 12 is driven to rotate by the motor 13, and the diverter plate 1 is driven to rotate through meshing. The direction of rotation is the same as the direction of the Fibonacci spiral.
[0023] An outer sleeve 14 is sleeved on the outside of the air intake main pipe 7, and the outer sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the diverter plate 1; a chassis 15 is arranged below the driving gear 12, and the chassis 15 limits the driving gear 12 to ensure the meshing relationship between the driving gear 12 and the diverter plate 1.
