Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of granulator technology, and particularly relates to a rotary lifting and turning granulator. Background Technology

[0002] A liftable and tumbling granulator is a device used to crush granular materials. It is often used in the pharmaceutical industry. It is not limited to crushing granular materials, but can also perform operations such as lifting, tumbling and granulation. This equipment is particularly important in the pharmaceutical industry because it can achieve effective material processing while ensuring the high cleanliness and precise control required in the drug production process.

[0003] Existing pellet mills with improved turning capabilities still have some problems during use. For example, during feeding, some highly viscous materials or materials that are prone to caking under certain humidity conditions may cause hopper blockage. When the hopper is blocked, the material cannot smoothly enter the pellet mill for processing, which directly leads to a slowdown or even shutdown of the production line, seriously affecting the overall production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0020] Example

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The diagram shown is an overall schematic of the granulator in the embodiment;

[0022] This device includes:

[0023] The workbench includes a longitudinally arranged column 10, a ball screw slide assembly 31 is arranged on the column 10, and a lifting box 32 is arranged on the right side of the ball screw slide assembly 31.

[0024] The lifting box 32 is equipped with a motor, the output shaft of which passes through the side of the lifting box 32 away from the ball screw slide group 31 and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 33. The end of the rotating shaft 33 away from the lifting box 32 is fixedly connected to the pelletizer 20.

[0025] The column 10 is a longitudinally arranged support structure, providing a stable basic frame for the entire device. The ball screw slide assembly 31 achieves precise longitudinal movement of the lifting box 32 through a ball screw transmission mechanism. The lifting box 32 is equipped with a motor, which drives the rotating shaft 33 to rotate, thereby enabling the granulator 20 to rotate.

[0026] The specific structure of the ball screw slide assembly 31 and the motor are not shown in the figure. The drive structure here is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The diagram shown is an overall schematic of the granulator in the embodiment;

[0028] The pellet mill 20 is equipped with a feeding assembly 40 at the top.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The diagram shown is a front view of the feeding assembly of the pellet mill in the embodiment.

[0030] The feeding assembly 40 includes a feeding hopper 41, the bottom of which is conical and the top is detachably covered with a cover 42, the inner side of which is threadedly engaged with the outer side of the top of the feeding hopper 41.

[0031] The feeding hopper 41 helps the material slide smoothly into the pellet mill 20 under the action of gravity. The cover 42 is connected to the top outer side of the feeding hopper 41 by a threaded connection. This design facilitates quick disassembly and assembly and provides a good sealing effect for the pellet mill 20.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, Figure 3 What is shown is Figure 2 Enlarged schematic diagram of the structure at point A in the diagram; Figure 4 The diagram shown is a side view of the paddle in the embodiment; Figure 5 The diagram shown is a side view of the paddle engaging with the hopper in an embodiment.

[0033] The inner wall of the feeding hopper 41 is symmetrically provided with stepped portions 411, and a paddle 51 is rotatably provided on the stepped portions 411. The paddle 51 can rotate toward the center of the feeding hopper 41.

[0034] The paddle 51 includes a mounting block 52 at the bottom end. A mounting groove is provided on the stepped portion 411 into which the mounting block 52 is embedded. The stepped portion 411 is also movably inserted with a rotating shaft 53. One end of the rotating shaft 53 passes through the feeding hopper 41 and extends to the outside. The other end of the rotating shaft 53 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 52. A motor 54 is provided on the outer wall of the feeding hopper 41 at the position corresponding to the rotating shaft 53. The output end of the motor 54 is connected to the rotating shaft 53.

[0035] The stepped section 411 provides installation space for the paddle 51, which can rotate towards the center of the feeding hopper 41 under the drive of the motor 54. This allows the paddle 51 to actively intervene and help clear blocked materials when needed. Under normal conditions, the paddle 51 is attached to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 41 and does not affect normal feeding.

[0036] When materials become blocked or require periodic cleaning, start motor 2 54. Motor 2 54 drives shaft 2 53 to rotate, thereby driving the paddle 51 to rotate, realizing the unblocking function and restoring normal material flow.

[0037] By using the designed paddle 51 and other structures, material blockage problems can be effectively addressed. This not only avoids production interruptions but also reduces the need for manual cleaning due to material blockages, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing safety risks for operators.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The diagram shown is a side view of the paddle in the embodiment.

[0039] The lever 51 is provided with several weight reduction holes 511.

[0040] The main body of the paddle 51 is in the shape of a sheet. By opening several weight-reducing holes 511 on the paddle 51, the weight of the paddle 51 itself can be significantly reduced. This not only helps to reduce the energy required to drive the paddle 51 to rotate, but also reduces the load on the rotating shaft 2 53 and the motor 2 54, thus extending the service life of these components.

[0041] Working principle: When using the feeding component 40 of this device, first rotate and unscrew the cover 42, and add material into the feeding hopper 41. Under normal conditions, the paddle 51 is attached to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 41 and does not affect normal feeding. When the material is blocked or needs to be cleaned regularly, start the motor 2 54. The motor 2 54 drives the rotating shaft 2 53 to rotate, thereby driving the paddle 51 to rotate, realizing the unblocking function and restoring normal material flow.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
