[0002] At present, various pharmaceutical factories will explore the process parameters for the production of granules, capsules and tablets. The early granulation of granules, capsules and tablets requires the use of granulator soft materials, and the quality of the soft materials directly affects the quality of granules, capsules and tablets. In order to explore the process parameters of different batches of wet granulation, a single experimental granulator is required to be equipped with pots of different volumes (common ones include 5L and 10L pots, and stirring paddles matched with the pots, etc.), and the pots are replaced more frequently. The prior art, such as a granulator with patent number CN 215842840U, has a detachable pot, but the pot needs to be carried manually and is troublesome to assemble. The specific structure is shown in the attached figure of the specification. Figure 1 . Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a granulator which solves the problem of inconvenient pot body replacement.

[0004] The utility model is implemented as follows, including a granulation container and a drive mounting frame, the granulation container is provided with a side actuator and a bottom actuator, the drive mounting frame is provided with a drive assembly, the drive assembly is docked with the side actuator and the bottom actuator through a horizontal axis and a vertical axis respectively, and is characterized in that: the granulation container is arranged on a container mounting frame that can be separated and combined with the drive mounting frame, the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame are provided with a horizontal positioning assembly, and the drive mounting frame is provided with a lifting drive that can drive the vertical axis to rise and fall and dock and separate with the bottom actuator.

[0005] In the utility model, granulation is carried out in a granulation container. During the granulation process, a driving assembly is required to process the material in the granulation container. Considering the need to replace the granulation container, a container mounting frame for mounting the granulation container and a driving mounting frame for mounting the driving assembly are detachably combined. When the granulation container needs to be replaced, the lifting drive drives the vertical shaft to descend and separate from the bottom actuator, and separates the driving mounting frame from the container mounting frame. At this time, the lateral positioning assembly is separated and the driving assembly is separated from the side actuator, thereby completing the separation of the container mounting frame from the driving mounting frame; the granulation container to be replaced is installed through the container mounting frame and the driving mounting frame combination. After the lateral positioning assembly is in place, the lifting drive drives the vertical shaft to rise and dock with the bottom actuator, completing the replacement of the granulation container of the granulator. There is no need to remove any screws and clamps. The docking is automatically performed by lifting the vertical shaft, thereby completing the replacement of the granulation container, which is convenient and quick.

[0006] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the drive mounting frame and / or the container mounting frame are movable.

[0007] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the drive assembly includes a transverse drive connected to the transverse shaft and a vertical drive connected to the vertical shaft.

The vertical drive is connected to the gear set, and when the gear set moves, it drives the transmission tooth to rotate, and the transmission tooth drives the second shaft to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the bottom actuator.

[0010] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a control cabinet and an installation cabinet disposed on one side of the control cabinet are disposed on the drive mounting frame, and the installation cabinet is shorter than the control cabinet. The installation cabinet is shorter than the control cabinet, so that when the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame are docked or detached, the granulation container can be placed above the installation cabinet by horizontal movement, and then the vertical connection between the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame is achieved by lifting and lowering a vertical shaft within the installation cabinet.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the granulation container is mounted on top of a container mounting frame, and a storage space for the mounting cabinet is provided at the bottom of the granulation container. With a rationally designed space, the granulation container can be placed above the mounting cabinet by horizontally moving the container mounting frame or driving the mounting frame, facilitating vertical connection.

When the container mounting frame and the drive mounting frame are docked, the positioning sleeve and the positioning rod cooperate to provide guidance and positioning, ensuring the lateral alignment of the drive mounting frame and the container mounting frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: in the present invention, granulation is carried out in a granulation container, and a driving assembly is required to process the material in the granulation container during the granulation process. Considering the need to replace the granulation container, the container mounting frame for mounting the granulation container and the driving mounting frame for mounting the driving assembly can be detachably combined. When the granulation container needs to be replaced, the lifting drive drives the vertical shaft to descend and separate from the bottom actuator, and separates the driving mounting frame from the container mounting frame. At this time, the horizontal positioning assembly is separated and the driving assembly is separated from the side actuator, thereby completing the separation of the container mounting frame from the driving mounting frame; the granulation container to be replaced is installed through the container mounting frame and the driving mounting frame combination. After the horizontal positioning assembly is in place, the lifting drive drives the vertical shaft to rise and dock with the bottom actuator, completing the replacement of the granulation container of the granulator. There is no need to remove any screws and clamps. The docking is automatically performed by lifting the vertical shaft, thereby completing the replacement of the granulation container, which is convenient and quick.
