Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulation machine technology, specifically an automatic granulation machine for selenium-enriched tablets. Background Technology

[0002] Selenium-enriched tablets, as a health food, have attracted increasing attention due to their high selenium content. These tablets are nutritional supplements rich in selenium, primarily used to enhance human health. Selenium is an essential trace element crucial for various physiological functions, including antioxidant, immune regulation, and important metabolic roles. An automatic granulation machine for selenium-enriched tablets is a specialized device for producing selenium-rich nutritional tablets or health products. Selenium is an important trace element with numerous health benefits, including enhanced immunity, antioxidant properties, and support for reproductive health.

[0003] An investigation revealed that a Chinese utility model patent discloses an automatic extrusion granulator (publication number: CN 209865976U), comprising a main body. An extrusion device is installed within the main body. The inlet of the extrusion device is connected to a raw material storage device via a pipe, and the outlet is connected to a screen cylinder. A rotating grinding blade is installed inside the screen cylinder via a motor. The invention is characterized by a funnel located at the bottom outer side of the screen cylinder. The bottom surface of the funnel is inclined, surrounded by baffles, and an opening is located at its lowest point. A material collecting device is located below the opening. This utility model, by placing a funnel below the screen cylinder, allows granules exiting the screen cylinder to fall directly onto the funnel and be collected from the outlet into the material collecting device along the inclined funnel. The entire process is completed automatically without manual intervention, saving time and labor.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent features an extrusion device with a funnel below the sieve cylinder, allowing granules from the sieve cylinder to fall directly onto the funnel and be collected from the outlet into a receiving device, the entire process is automated and requires no manual intervention, saving time and labor. However, the patent only includes an extrusion device. During extrusion, the tablets remain moist and are prone to sticking together, making it difficult to dry them using a drying mechanism. A further step is required to complete the tablet production, increasing overall working time and reducing production efficiency. Separate processes may also lead to inconsistent temperature and humidity control at each stage, affecting product uniformity and quality, and hindering the achievement of automated integration and rapid granulation.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an automatic granulation machine for selenium-enriched tablets to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] This utility model provides an automatic granulation machine for selenium-enriched tablets, such as...

A groove is formed on the outer surface of the A extrusion plate 6. The outer surface of the telescopic rod 9 is inserted into the groove. The spring 7 can increase the buffering effect during extrusion. The buffering design can ensure the full mixing of different components (such as selenium powder, fillers, etc.), improve the quality and consistency of selenium-enriched tablets, and ensure that the effective ingredients of each tablet are evenly distributed.

[0031] The stirring mechanism includes a drive motor 10, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover 2. The output end of the drive motor 10 is splinedly connected to a stirring rod 11, and the outer surface of the stirring rod 11 is fixedly connected to a stirring plate 12. When making selenium-enriched tablets, the extrusion mechanism can be used to quickly extrude and form the tablets during granulation. The extrusion process can evenly mix the selenium source and other components, ensuring that the composition and properties of each batch of selenium-enriched tablets are consistent, thus improving product quality. Rapid extrusion can increase the density of the selenium-enriched tablets, improve their physical properties such as hardness and wear resistance, and increase the stability of storage and transportation. In addition, with the cooperation of multiple functional structures, an integrated effect can be achieved, improving work efficiency.

[0032] The drying mechanism includes a blower 13, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the other end of the granulation barrel 4. One end of the blower 13 is fixedly connected to an air storage box 14, the inside of which is fixedly connected to a heating plate 15, and the surface of which is fixedly connected to heat dissipation fins 16. After rapid extrusion, combined with the drying mechanism, the humidity of each selenium-enriched tablet can be ensured to be consistent, avoiding local over-drying or over-wetting, thus improving the quality of the final product. Timely drying can prevent the product from deteriorating due to moisture evaporation or moisture absorption during storage and transportation, maintaining its chemical stability and biological activity.

[0033] The opening and closing mechanism includes a baffle 17. The outer surface of the baffle 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the tank 1. A discharge port is opened in the middle of the baffle 17. A vacuum pump 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle 17. A connecting pipe 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the vacuum pump 18. An air bag 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 19. The outer surface of the air bag 20 is fixedly connected to the inside of the discharge port. After the material is mixed evenly, the vacuum pump 18 is started. The vacuum pump 18 draws and shrinks the air bag 20 through the connecting pipe 19. The material leaks out from the air bag 20 and into the granulation tank 4.

[0034] Both sides of the upper surface of the cover 2 are provided with B grooves. A stop block is fixedly connected inside the B groove. The upper surface of the stop block is snapped with the cover plate 21. The upper surface of the cover plate 21 is fixedly connected with the handle A.

[0036] A filter plate 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the granulation barrel 4. The surface of the filter plate 24 is provided with filter holes. The material is extruded and granulated by the B extrusion plate 8 and then passed through the filter holes of the filter plate 24 to granulate it.

[0037] Specifically, when granulating selenium-enriched tablets, the required materials are placed in tank 1, and the drive motor 10 is started. The drive motor 10 rotates, driving the stirring rod 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blade 12 to rotate. The stirring blade 12 mixes the materials evenly. After the materials are evenly mixed, the vacuum pump 18 is started. The vacuum pump 18, through the connecting pipe 19, draws and shrinks the air bladder 20, causing the material to leak out from the air bladder 20 and into the granulation tank 4. The electric push rod 5 is then started, driving the A extrusion plate 6 to press back and forth. The A extrusion plate 6 drives the spring 7 and the B extrusion plate 8 to press. When the B extrusion plate 8 is pressing, the telescopic rod 9 passes through the A extrusion plate. Inside 6, the material is extruded and granulated using the B extrusion plate 8. The material is then passed through the filter holes at the filter plate 24 to granulate it. After granulation, the granules fall into the granulation barrel 4. The blower 13 is started, and the blower 13 blows air into the air storage box 14. The heating plate 15 heats the air, blowing out warm air that is distributed from the heat dissipation fins 16 to dry the granules. Timely drying can prevent the product from deteriorating due to moisture evaporation or moisture absorption during storage and transportation, maintaining its chemical stability and biological activity. Subsequently, the dried granules fall into the discharge pipe 22. The baffle 23 is pulled to remove the selenium-enriched tablets from the discharge pipe 22 for packaging.
