Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sampling equipment technology, specifically relating to a sampler for particle size detection of pharmaceutical raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] The particle size of a drug refers to the size of particles in a pharmaceutical formulation. It has a direct impact on the quality and efficacy of the drug. Particle size control is crucial for the consistency and stability of the drug. In the drug research and development and production process, particle size analysis and control are essential steps. There are many methods for particle size testing, including sieving, microscopy, and laser particle size analysis. For some drugs, especially poorly soluble ones, particle size can affect the drug's dissolution and bioavailability, thus requiring particle size control. For example, the "Basic Technical Guidelines for Research on Chemical Drug Formulations" and the "Technical Guidelines for Research on Generic Chemical Drugs for Topical Use (Trial)" both mention the impact of particle size on formulation quality and related properties, requiring analysis and testing in pharmaceutical evaluation. In short, the particle size of a drug has a significant impact on its quality and efficacy, necessitating appropriate control and analysis.

[0003] Existing methods for particle size analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) require frequent sampling of the APIs. Frequent use of the sampling spoon may cause API leakage. Frequent contact with the external environment during sampling can easily cause air pollution, often leading to errors in subsequent testing processes. Furthermore, sampling is quite difficult.

The other side of the outer wall of the squeeze plug 15 is attached to the outer wall of the sampling tube 12. The drive assembly is located on the inner wall of the storage shell 1.

[0027] In this application, "screw" refers to a spiral conveying component (also known in the industry as a spiral conveyor rod / auger) used to rotate inside a conveying pipe and propel powder / granular materials axially. It is driven by a micro motor to rotate inside the conveying pipe via active / driven gears, and works with a conical cylinder to directionally introduce the raw material into the sampling tube to achieve closed and rapid sampling.

[0028] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the sampling assembly first embeds the sampling tube 12 into the housing shell 1 using the mounting port 101. The support spring 14 drives the compression plug 15 to compress the sampling tube 12, so that one end of the sampling tube 12 is fitted onto the outer wall of the conical cylinder 11. Then, the micro motor 10 is started, causing the drive gear 9 to drive the driven gear 8 to rotate. The screw 6 transports the raw material to the inside of the mounting cylinder 4. Subsequently, the raw material is transported through the conical cylinder 11 to the inside of the sampling tube 12, thus quickly sampling the raw material with high efficiency and avoiding contamination problems caused by the raw material coming into contact with the external environment.
