Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tablet technology, and in particular to a portable tablet hardness tester. Background Technology

[0002] Tablets refer to preparations in the form of tablets or irregularly shaped tablets, made by compressing finely powdered medicinal materials or extracts of medicinal materials with finely powdered medicinal materials or excipients. They are classified into tablets made from raw medicinal powders and tablets made from extracts or semi-extracts, etc. In addition to meeting the above-mentioned indicators, tablets should also have appropriate hardness to ensure intact shaping, meet the requirements for tablet appearance, and prevent brittleness. The hardness of tablets affects both their appearance and internal quality. Excessive hardness can affect the disintegration and release rates to some extent; therefore, it must be controlled during tablet production. With the modernization of tablet research and production in my country, tablet hardness testing has become one of the most important testing items in the tableting process.

This portable tablet hardness tester allows the testing mechanism to be mounted within the cylindrical body and displays the results on the screen. The cylinder and cover plate work together to seal the cylinder. The battery powers the testing mechanism for tablet testing. The threaded connection between the cover plate and the cylinder maintains a tight seal. The connecting strap and pull plate allow the operator to carry the device, thus solving the problem of the tablet hardness tester being inconvenient to carry and affecting the operator's work efficiency. However, this invention does not consider that the portable tester requires a support column for stable tablet testing. Without a support column, the tester is prone to wobbling and inaccurate readings. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Example 1

[0026] This utility model provides a portable tablet hardness tester, characterized by including a connecting rod 5 above an upper handle 3, a connecting rod 8 below the upper handle 3, two lower support pillars 4 below the connecting rod 8, a buckle 6 below the lower support pillars 4, and a base 7 below the lower support pillars 4. An internal box 12 houses a temperature detector 9, a motor 10, and a battery 11. The internal box 12 has a sealing door 14 on its side. The box body 29 has a tray 13, and the protective shell 15 has an opening 16 with a sealing device. The base support 18 has a telescopic rod 25 on one side, a connecting column 22 on the other side, a push rod 23 on the other side, a detection head 24 on the other side, a positioning block 20 below the push rod 23, a control box 19 on the other side, a small motor 21 connected to the side of the control box 19, a telescopic rod 25 connected to the side of the base 27, a flip plate 28 on the other side of the telescopic rod 25, a tray 26 on the flip plate 28, and a display screen 1 and an interface 2 on the box body 29.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] When using this utility model, the upper handle 3 of the overall device is connected to the assembly rod 5, which can be used to pick up the device. The lower support 4 below the connecting rod 8 can stabilize the overall device. When it needs to be picked up and moved, it can be moved by picking up the assembly rod 5. When it is necessary to test the hardness of the tablet, the lower support 4 below can provide overall support, making it more convenient to move and test.

[0029] After moving the instrument to the appropriate position and placing it on a flat surface, operate it using the buttons and screen on display screen 1. After operation, place the tablet to be tested on tray 26. After placement, tray 26 automatically extends and retracts via telescopic rod. When passing through protective shell 15, the opening closes via sensor, thus automating the detection process. When the tablet moves to the designated position via tray 26, the detection mechanism above the pusher moves according to telescopic rod 25, thereby starting to squeeze the tablet. After squeezing, the force sensor inside detects the data and transmits it to the display screen via controller, thus completing the detection.

[0030] After the test is completed, the tray 26 rotates via the flip plate 28 to pour the tablet residue into the tray 13 below. Then, the tray 26 moves via the telescopic rod 25 to test new tablets again. There is no need for manual opening and closing of the door, which is convenient and quick. After testing for a period of time, the protective shell is opened, the tray 13 below is taken out, and the residue is poured out.

[0031] This invention not only makes the handling process more convenient, but also adds a new component during tablet testing, making it easier and more time-saving to clean up residues after testing. In addition, it is equipped with a temperature detector 9 to monitor the internal environment and prevent the internal temperature from being too high, which could lead to spontaneous combustion and other dangers.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. The various components mentioned in this utility model are common technologies in the existing field. 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 illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
