Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulation production technology for granulated drugs, specifically to a granulation machine for biopharmaceuticals. Background Technology
[0002] Biopharmaceuticals have become an indispensable part of people's lives. In biopharmaceutical manufacturing, it is necessary to process raw materials into granules. Therefore, in the process of drug production, the raw materials of the drug need to be mixed and then extruded to make the drug into granules.
[0003] A biopharmaceutical granulator, disclosed in CN 208405376 U, includes a base plate. Support frames are connected to the upper surface of the base plate via support ears on both sides. A support plate is located at the lower center of the support frames, dividing the two sides of the support frames into material-holding grooves. A third electric telescopic rod drives the upper end of a second pressure column to insert into a through-hole in the support plate. Then, a first electric telescopic rod drives the first pressure column downwards, thereby pressing the drug powder inside the through-hole of the support plate into granules, making production more convenient and faster. A linear motor drives a scraper to move left and right, scraping the raw material in the material-holding grooves into the through-hole of the support plate, further facilitating production. This biopharmaceutical granulator has a simple structure and is easy to operate, saving significant manpower and greatly increasing the speed of drug production, making granulation more convenient.
[0004] However, the aforementioned device still has the following problems in use. Although it can granulate drug powder into granules, it lacks a sieving function and cannot quickly separate the granulated drug granules from the drug powder or small, non-granulated particles. A significant amount of manpower and resources are still required for sieving after drug granulation, and manual sieving is slow, resulting in both wasted manpower and low efficiency. Therefore, we propose a new granulation machine for biopharmaceuticals. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a granulation machine for biopharmaceuticals, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a granulation machine for biopharmaceutical granules, comprising a base plate, a support plate symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, an organism fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a granulation plate fixedly connected to one end of the organism, a feed box fixedly connected to the upper part of the other end of the organism, the feed box communicating with the inner cavity of the organism, a feed trough fixedly connected to the top of the feed box, a crushing component provided in the inner cavity of the feed box, a feeding component provided in the inner cavity of the organism, a mounting frame fixedly connected to one side of the granulation plate, a granulation component mounted on the mounting frame, a screening component fixedly connected to one side of the base plate, and the upper part of the side walls of the screening component... The system includes a sieve plate and a screening assembly comprising a screening frame, inclined troughs, spring dampers, a motor, and a cam. The screening frame is fixedly connected to one side of a base plate. Inclined troughs, penetrating at both ends, are symmetrically opened on both sides of the screening frame. The two sides of the sieve plate are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the inclined troughs. Several spring dampers are uniformly fixedly connected to the inner cavity of one inclined trough, with the other end of each spring damper fixedly connected to the side wall of the sieve plate. An installation groove is opened at the bottom of another inclined trough. The motor is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the installation groove. The cam is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor and is positioned within the inner cavity of the inclined trough. A material collection drawer is slidably inserted into the side wall of the screening frame, and a material discharge trough is fixedly connected to one side of the screening frame.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution, a groove is opened on one side of the sieve plate, and the side wall of the cam fits into the groove.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution, the two ends of the inclined chute are set at different heights, and the material discharge chute is set on one side of the lowest point of the inclined chute, and the bottom of the screen plate abuts against the material discharge chute.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution, the granulation assembly includes a third motor and a rotating blade. The third motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame, and the output end of the third motor is fixedly connected to the rotating blade through the mounting frame. The rotating blade is rotatably connected to one side of the granulation plate.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution, the feeding assembly includes a second motor and a feeding screw. The second motor is fixedly connected to one side of the machine body, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the feeding screw through the side wall of the machine body. The feeding screw is rotatably connected to the side wall of the inner cavity of the machine body.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution, the crushing assembly includes a motor, crushing rollers, a drive gear, and a driven gear. The two crushing rollers are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed box, and the crushing blades of the two crushing rollers are interlocked. The drive gear and the driven gear are rotatably connected to the side wall of the feed box and are meshed together. The motor is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the feed box. The output end of the motor passes through the side wall of the feed box and is fixedly connected to one crushing roller. The other end of this crushing roller is fixedly connected to the drive gear, and the driven gear is fixedly connected to one end of the other crushing roller.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. By setting up screening components, sieve plates, feeding troughs, and collection drawers, after the medicine powder is made into granules by the granulation component, it falls onto the sieve plate. The motor is started, driving the cam to rotate. Since the cam is an ellipse with one end larger than the other, and the side wall of the groove is in contact with the side wall of the cam, under the elastic force of the spring damper, as the cam rotates, the two side walls of the sieve plate can swing left and right in the inclined groove cavity. This can screen and separate the granules falling onto the sieve plate, so that the formed medicine granules fall into the feeding trough, while the medicine powder or small, unformed granules fall into the collection drawer. The screening speed is fast, the screening efficiency is high, and the waste of manpower is effectively reduced.
[0014] 2. By setting up a feeding assembly, granulation plate, and granulation unit, the powdered medicine, after being pulverized by the crushing assembly, enters the inner cavity of the machine. At this time, motor two is started, driving the feeding screw to rotate, pushing the powder to the granulation plate, where it is extruded through the granulation holes. Simultaneously, motor three is started, driving the rotating blades to rotate. The rotating blades cut the powder, and the multiple cutters of the rotating blades quickly granulate the powder extruded from the granulation holes, achieving high efficiency in granulation. The granulated medicine then falls onto a sieve plate for further sieving.
[0015] 3. By setting up a feeding trough and crushing components, when granulation of granulated drugs is required, the drug powder is first put into the feeding box through the feeding trough. At the same time, motor one is started. Motor one drives one crushing roller to rotate. This crushing roller drives the drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate, thereby driving the other crushing roller to rotate. At this time, the two crushing rollers rotate towards each other, and the crushing blades on the two crushing rollers interlock with each other, which can crush the large particles in the drug powder fed from the feeding trough. The crushing effect is good, crushing the drug powder into particles of uniform size, preventing large particles of drug powder from being unable to pass through the granulation holes of the granulation plate, thus preventing blockage of the granulation plate and waste of drug powder.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a granulator for biopharmaceutical granulation, comprising a base plate 1, a support plate 2 symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, an organism 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 2, a granulation plate 8 fixedly connected to one end of the organism 3, and a feed box 4 fixedly connected to the upper part of the other end of the organism 3, the feed box 4 communicating with the inner cavity of the organism 3, a feed trough 5 fixedly connected to the top of the feed box 4, a crushing component 6 provided in the inner cavity of the feed box 4, a feeding component 7 provided in the inner cavity of the organism 3, a mounting frame 12 fixedly connected to one side of the granulation plate 8, a granulation component 9 provided on the mounting frame 12, a screening component 10 fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 1, a sieve plate 11 provided on the upper part of both side walls of the screening component 10, a plurality of screening holes evenly opened on the sieve plate 11, the screening component 10 including a screening frame 10.1, an inclined trough 10.2, a spring damper 10.3, a motor 10.4, and a cam 10.5, the screening frame 10.1 being fixedly connected to... On one side of the base plate 1, the two side walls of the screening frame 10.1 are symmetrically provided with inclined grooves 10.2 that pass through both ends. The two sides of the screen plate 11 are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the inclined groove 10.2. Several spring dampers 10.3 are uniformly fixedly connected to the inner cavity of one inclined groove 10.2. The other end of the spring damper 10.3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the screen plate 11. The bottom of the other inclined groove 10.2 is provided with an installation groove. The motor 10.4 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the installation groove. The cam 10.5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 10.4 and is set in the inner cavity of the inclined groove 10.2. The cam 10.5 is set as an ellipse with one end larger than the other. The side wall of the screening frame 10.1 is slidably inserted with a collection drawer 14, which is convenient to be pulled out for cleaning and recycling after the collection drawer 14 is full of medicine powder. The side of the screening frame 10.1 is fixedly connected with a discharge trough 13. After the granulated and screened medicine particles fall into the discharge trough 13, they can be processed for the next step.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the granulation assembly 9 includes a motor 9.1 and a rotating blade 9.2. The motor 9.1 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame 12, and the output end of the motor 9.1 passes through the mounting frame 12 and is fixedly connected to the rotating blade 9.2. The rotating blade 9.2 is rotatably connected to one side of the granulation plate 8 via a bearing. Simultaneously, as the drug powder is extruded from the granulation holes of the granulation plate 8, the motor 9.1 is started, driving the rotating blade 9.2 to rotate. The rotating blade 9.2 then cuts the drug powder. The multiple cutters of the rotating blade 9.2 rapidly granulate the drug powder extruded from the granulation holes of the granulation plate 8, achieving high granulation efficiency. The granulated drug powder then falls onto the sieve plate 11 for sieving.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the feeding assembly 7 includes a second motor 7.1 and a feeding screw 7.2. The second motor 7.1 is fixedly connected to one side of the machine body 3, and the output end of the second motor 7.1 passes through the side wall of the machine body 3 and is fixedly connected to the feeding screw 7.2. The feeding screw 7.2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine body 3 via a bearing. The powdered medicine after being crushed by the crushing assembly 6 enters the inner cavity of the machine body 3. At this time, the second motor 7.1 is started, driving the feeding screw 7.2 to rotate, pushing the powder to the granulation plate 8, and causing the powder to be squeezed out from the granulation holes of the granulation plate 8. Then the granulation assembly 9 can be turned on to start the granulation work.
[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a groove 15 is opened on one side of the sieve plate 11, and the side wall of the cam 10.5 fits into the groove 15. The two ends of the inclined chute 10.2 are set at different heights, and the discharge chute 13 is set on one side of the lowest point of the inclined chute 10.2. The bottom of the sieve plate 11 abuts against the discharge chute 13, so that the sieved granular medicine can fall from the sieve plate 11 into the discharge chute 13. After the medicine powder is granulated into granules by the granulation component 9, it falls onto the sieve plate 11. The motor 10.4 is started, driving the cam 10.5 to rotate. Since the cam 10.5 is an ellipse with one end larger than the other, and the side wall of the groove 15 is in contact with the side wall of the cam 10.5, under the elastic force of the spring damper 10.3, as the cam 10.5 rotates, the two side walls of the sieve plate 11 can swing left and right in the inner cavity of the inclined groove 10.2. This allows the granules falling onto the sieve plate 11 to be screened and separated, so that the formed medicine granules fall into the feeding trough 13, while the medicine powder or small, unformed granules fall into the collection drawer 14. The screening speed is fast, the screening efficiency is high, and the waste of manpower is effectively reduced.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the crushing assembly 6 includes a motor 6.1, crushing rollers 6.2, a driving gear 6.3, and a driven gear 6.4. Two crushing rollers 6.2 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed box 4, and the crushing blades of the two crushing rollers 6.2 are interlocked. The driving gear 6.3 and the driven gear 6.4 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the feed box 4 and are meshed together. The motor 6.1 is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the feed box 4. The output end of the motor 6.1 passes through the side wall of the feed box 4 and is fixedly connected to one crushing roller 6.2. The other end of this crushing roller 6.2 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 6.3. The driven gear 6.4 is fixedly connected to one end of the other crushing roller 6.2 through a connecting rod. When granulation of granulated drugs is required, the drug powder is first placed into the feed box 4 through the feed trough 5. At the same time, the motor 6.1 is started. The motor 6.1 drives one crushing roller 6.2 to rotate. This crushing roller 6.2 drives the drive gear 6.3 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 6.4 to rotate, thereby driving the other crushing roller 6.2 to rotate. At this time, the two crushing rollers 6.2 rotate towards each other, and the crushing blades on the two crushing rollers 6.2 interlock with each other, which can crush the large particles in the drug powder fed from the feed trough 5. The crushing effect is good, crushing the drug powder into particles of uniform size, preventing large particles of drug powder from being unable to pass through the granulation holes of the granulation plate 8, thus preventing blockage of the granulation plate 8 and waste of drug powder.
[0029] It should be noted that this utility model is a granulator for biopharmaceutical granulation. When granulation is required, the drug powder is first placed into the feed box 4 through the feed trough 5. At the same time, the motor 6.1 is started. The motor 6.1 drives one crushing roller 6.2 to rotate. This crushing roller 6.2 drives the drive gear 6.3 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 6.4 to rotate, thereby driving the other crushing roller 6.2 to rotate. At this time, the two crushing rollers 6.2 rotate towards each other, and the crushing blades on the two crushing rollers 6.2 interlock, which can crush the large particles in the drug powder fed from the feed trough 5. The crushing effect is good, crushing the drug powder into particles of uniform size, preventing large particles of drug powder from being unable to pass through the granulation holes of the granulation plate 8, thus preventing blockage of the granulation plate 8 and waste of drug powder.
[0030] The pulverized medicine powder, after being crushed by the pulverizing component 6, enters the inner cavity of the machine body 3. At this time, motor 2 7.1 is started, driving the feeding screw 7.2 to rotate, pushing the medicine powder to the granulation plate 8, and causing the medicine powder to be extruded from the granulation holes of the granulation plate 8. Simultaneously, motor 3 9.1 is started, driving the rotating blade 9.2 to rotate. The rotating blade 9.2 can cut the medicine powder. The multiple cutters of the rotating blade 9.2 quickly granulate the medicine powder extruded from the granulation holes of the granulation plate 8, achieving a high granulation efficiency for the granulated medicine. The granulated medicine then falls onto the sieve plate 11 for sieving.
[0031] After the medicine powder is granulated into granules by the granulation component 9, it falls onto the sieve plate 11. The motor 10.4 is started, driving the cam 10.5 to rotate. Since the cam 10.5 is an ellipse with one end larger than the other, and the side wall of the groove 15 is in contact with the side wall of the cam 10.5, under the elastic force of the spring damper 10.3, as the cam 10.5 rotates, the two side walls of the sieve plate 11 can swing left and right in the inner cavity of the inclined groove 10.2. This allows the granules falling onto the sieve plate 11 to be screened and separated, so that the formed medicine granules fall into the feeding trough 13, while the medicine powder or small, unformed granules fall into the collection drawer 14. The screening speed is fast, the screening efficiency is high, and the waste of manpower is effectively reduced.
