Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tablet presses, and in particular to a tablet press with automatic tablet cleaning. Background Technology
[0002] A tablet compressor is a pharmaceutical device that compresses drug powder or granules into tablets using pressure.
[0003] Most existing tablet compressors do not have an automatic cleaning mechanism. During the tablet compression process, tablet powder or granules remain in the tablet compression assembly. As the usage time increases, these drug powders or granules deteriorate and, when mixed with subsequent tablet powders or granules, affect the quality of the tablets, making them inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the following problems existing in the prior art: most existing tablet compressors do not have an automatic cleaning mechanism. During the tablet compression process, tablet powder or granules will remain in the tablet compression assembly of the tablet compressor. As the usage time increases, these drug powders or granules will deteriorate, and when mixed with subsequent tablet powders or granules, they will affect the quality of the tablets, making them inconvenient to use.
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a tablet press for automatic tablet cleaning, comprising a tablet press body and a base. The top of the tablet press body is provided with a feeding hopper, and the inside of the tablet press body is provided with a tablet pressing assembly. A discharging hopper is connected between the feeding hopper and the tablet pressing assembly. A cleaning assembly is provided on the feeding hopper, and a collection assembly is provided inside the base.
[0006] The cleaning assembly includes a first blower and a sealing cover. The first blower is located at the top of the tablet press body. The sealing cover is snapped into the top of the feed hopper. The sealing cover is provided with an air outlet. An air duct is connected between the output end of the first blower and the input end of the air outlet.
[0007] Furthermore, the collection assembly includes a collection trough, a material extraction box, and a second fan. The collection trough is located around the tableting assembly and communicates with the interior of the base. The second fan is connected to the opening of the collection trough via a dust suction pipe. The material extraction box is movably disposed inside the base.
[0008] Furthermore, the opening of the feed hopper is provided with a slot, and the bottom of the sealing cover is provided with a locking block that matches the slot, so that the sealing cover can be engaged with the slot of the feed hopper through the locking block.
[0009] Furthermore, the input end of the air blower is connected to the air duct, and the output end of the air blower is located at the bottom of the sealing cover.
[0010] Furthermore, the first fan is a blower, and the second fan is a suction fan.
[0011] Furthermore, a feed inlet is provided at the bottom of the other side of the tablet press body, and the feed inlet is connected to the tablet pressing assembly through a feed pipe.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] The operator connects the sealing cap to the feeding hopper. After the first blower is started, air is delivered to the air outlet through the air duct. The air is then blown out through the air outlet and transferred to the feeding hopper. The air blown out of the feeding hopper cleans the tableting assembly. The suction generated by the second blower, combined with the collection trough, collects the tablet powder or granules blown off the tableting assembly. The collected tablet powder falls into the extraction box. The operator only needs to periodically remove the extraction box for cleaning, thus completing the automatic cleaning process. This prevents residual drug powder or granules from deteriorating and affecting the quality of subsequent tablets, increasing the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation details without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this invention.
[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] like Figure 1-3As shown, a tablet press for automatic tablet cleaning includes a tablet press body 1 and a base 3. The top of the tablet press body 1 is provided with a feeding hopper 7, and the tablet press body 1 is provided with a tablet pressing assembly 10. A discharging hopper 12 is connected between the feeding hopper 7 and the tablet pressing assembly 10. A cleaning assembly is provided on the feeding hopper 7, and a collection assembly is provided inside the base 3.
[0022] The cleaning assembly includes a first blower 4 and a sealing cover 6. The first blower 4 is located on the top of the tablet press body 1. The sealing cover 6 is snapped into the top of the feed hopper 7. The sealing cover 6 is provided with an air outlet 9. A duct 5 is connected between the output end of the first blower 4 and the input end of the air outlet 9.
[0023] In this embodiment, the collection component includes a collection trough 11, a material extraction box 2, and a second blower 8. The collection trough 11 is located around the tableting assembly 10 and is connected to the base 3. The second blower 8 is connected to the opening of the collection trough 11 through a suction pipe. The material extraction box 2 is movably disposed inside the base 3. The opening of the feed hopper 7 is provided with a slot 13. The bottom of the sealing cover 6 is provided with a locking block that matches the slot 13. The locking block allows the sealing cover 6 to be engaged with the slot 13 of the feed hopper 7. The input end of the air outlet 9 is connected to the air pipe 5, and the output end of the air outlet 9 is located at the bottom of the sealing cover 6. The first blower 4 is a blower, and the second blower 8 is a suction fan. The bottom of the other side of the tableting machine body 1 is provided with a guide port, which is connected to the tableting assembly 10 through a guide pipe.
[0024] Working principle description: The operator adds the tablet powder or granules into the feed hopper 7. The tablet powder or granules entering the feed hopper 7 are fed into the tableting assembly 10 through the discharge hopper 12. The tableting assembly 10 compresses the tablets, and finally, the tablets are discharged through the guide pipe and the guide port, thus completing the tableting process. When cleaning is required, the operator engages the locking block at the bottom of the sealing cap 6 with the locking groove 13 of the feed hopper 7, and then starts the first blower 4. After the first blower 4 starts, it delivers air through the air duct 5 to the air outlet 9. The air is blown out through the air outlet 9 and then... The feed hopper 7 transfers the material to the discharge hopper 12. The air blown out of the discharge hopper 12 cleans the tableting assembly 10, blowing off any residual tablet powder or granules. The suction generated by the second blower 8, combined with the collection trough 11, collects the tablet powder or granules blown off the tableting assembly 10. The collected tablet powder falls into the extraction box 2. The operator only needs to periodically remove the extraction box 2 for cleaning, thus completing the automatic cleaning process. This prevents residual drug powder or granules from deteriorating and affecting the quality of subsequent tablets, increasing the practicality of the device.
[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
