The first guide plate 31 is fixed to the bottom between the opposite sides of the front and rear walls of the inner cavity of the dust storage box 2, the second guide plate 32 is fixed to the right end between the opposite sides of the front and rear walls of the inner cavity of the dust storage box 2, the axial flow fan 33 is fixed to the right end of the top wall of the dust storage box 2, the axial flow fan 33 is used to reduce noise pollution, and the fixing frame 34 is fixed to the top wall of the dust storage box 2 and the dust blocking cylinder 37. At the right end between the opposite sides of the inner bottom wall, the filter element 35 is fixed in the inner cavity of the fixed frame 34, and can move toward the direction of the filter element 35 as guided by the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32. At this time, when the powder particles pass through the filter element 35 composed of HEPA filter material, most of the pollutants are retained, and the air outlet 36 is opened at the left end of the upper surface of the dust storage box 2, and the dust blocking cylinder 37 is arranged in the inner cavity of the air outlet 36. The clean air after filtration and purification is discharged into the external environment through the air outlet 36. The dust blocking cylinder 37 can prevent the dust in the inner cavity of the dust storage box 2 from being scattered.
[0033] In this embodiment, an air suction port 38 is provided at the right end of the inner bottom wall of the dust storage box 2. The air suction port 38 is located just above the tablet pressing area of the tablet press body 1. After the power switch is turned on, the axial fan 33 generates a strong suction force so that the suspended powder particles in the tablet pressing area are quickly sucked into the air suction port 38. The cross-sectional shape of the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 are both inverted L-shaped, and the size of the second guide plate 32 is larger than that of the first guide plate 31.

[0036] It should be noted that the provision of the collecting mechanism 3 significantly enhances the collection efficiency of the suspended powder during the tableting process, effectively avoids the occurrence of secondary pollution, and greatly simplifies the overall structural form, making installation, commissioning and daily management easier.
[0037] See also Figures 3 to 4In order to improve the self-cleaning function of the dust removal device, the vibration mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes a timer 41, a drive motor 42, a rotating rod 43, two rotating rings 44 and two knocking blocks 45. The timer 41 is fixed to the right end of the upper surface of the dust storage box 2, and the drive motor 42 is fixed to the right end of the upper surface of the dust storage box 2 and is located on the left side of the timer 41. The staff can set the timing range of the timer 41. When the interval timed by the timer 41 reaches the set interval time, a signal can be transmitted to the controller. The controller controls the start of the drive motor 42, and the output shaft of the drive motor 42 penetrates It passes through the inner top wall of the dust storage box 2 and extends to the inner cavity of the dust storage box 2 and is fixed to the rotating rod 43. Two rotating rings 44 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the outer surface of the rotating rod 43. Two knocking blocks 45 are fixed to the outer surface of the rotating ring 44. The output shaft of the driving motor 42 rotates to drive the rotating rod 43 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 43 causes the two rotating rings 44 fixed on its surface to rotate. When the two rotating rings 44 rotate to the left, they can knock the filter element 35, thereby enabling the large pieces of objects that are difficult to decompose attached to the filter element 35 to vibrate and fall to the left end of the inner cavity of the dust storage box 2.
[0038] In this embodiment, a protective box is provided on the outer surface of the driving motor 42 , and the knocking block 45 performs a circular motion on the outer surface of the rotating rod 43 .
[0039] It can be understood that the vibration mechanism 4 is capable of vibrating the large, difficult-to-decompose objects attached to the surface of the filter element 35 into the inner cavity of the dust storage box 2, thereby improving the self-cleaning function of the dust removal device and reducing the subsequent cleaning burden.
[0040] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0041] (1) When removing dust from the tablet press body 1, after turning on the power switch, the axial flow fan 33 generates a strong suction force so that the suspended powder particles in the tablet pressing area are quickly sucked into the air inlet 38, and then can move toward the filter element 35 guided by the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32. At this time, when the powder particles pass through the filter element 35 composed of HEPA filter material, most of the pollutants are intercepted, and the clean air after filtration and purification is discharged into the external environment through the air outlet 36. The dust blocking cylinder 37 can prevent the dust in the inner cavity of the dust storage box 2 from being scattered.
[0042] (2) In order to improve the self-cleaning function of the dust removal device and reduce the subsequent cleaning burden, the staff can set the timing range of the timer 41. When the interval time of the timer 41 reaches the set interval time, a signal can be sent to the controller. The controller controls the start of the drive motor 42. The output shaft of the drive motor 42 rotates to drive the rotating rod 43 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 43 causes the two rotating rings 44 fixed on its surface to rotate. When the two rotating rings 44 rotate to the left, they can knock on the filter element 35, thereby causing the large pieces of objects that are difficult to decompose attached to the filter element 35 to vibrate and fall to the left end of the inner cavity of the dust storage box 2.
