Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biopharmaceutical technology, and in particular to a multi-size punch assembly for a pharmaceutical tablet press. Background Technology

[0002] The punch assembly of a pharmaceutical tablet press is a flexible tool system that allows the production line to be quickly adjusted to adapt to the pressing of various drugs, ensuring drug consistency and quality. The punch assembly can improve production efficiency, reduce downtime, and support diverse product specifications. It is particularly suitable for large-scale production and multi-variety drug production environments. Its flexibility and adjustability are important advantages in modern pharmaceutical production.

[0003] The punch assembly of a pharmaceutical tablet press mainly consists of an upper punch, a lower punch, and a die. The upper and lower punches are located at opposite ends of the die and are responsible for pressing the drug powder. During operation, the drug powder is placed into the die cavity. Through the downward pressure of the upper punch and the support of the lower punch, the drug powder is compacted to form a tablet. Different punch sizes allow for adjustments to the size, shape, and weight of the tablets to meet different production needs, enabling the production of tablets of different specifications and ensuring the consistency of tablet pressing quality.

[0004] Existing pharmaceutical tablet presses have punch sets that can produce tablets of different sizes and ensure consistent tablet quality. However, when the upper punch presses down, excessive impact force can cause excessive compression of the lower punch and mold, which in turn accelerates the wear and deformation of equipment parts, reduces the service life of the equipment, and leads to tablet quality problems. Therefore, a multi-size punch set for pharmaceutical tablet presses is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of a multi-size punch assembly for a pharmaceutical tablet press, including an upper punch mounting frame 1, a mold mounting frame 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper punch mounting frame 1, a lower punch mounting frame 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mold mounting frame 2, an upper punch main rod 4 slidably connected inside the upper punch mounting frame 1, a buffer assembly 5 installed at the bottom of the upper punch main rod 4, a punch head 6 disposed inside the buffer assembly 5, a tablet pressing mold 7 slidably connected inside the mold mounting frame 2, a lower punch 8 slidably connected inside the lower punch mounting frame 3, and a quick-change assembly 9 installed inside the buffer assembly 5; the buffer assembly 5 includes a connecting block 10, which is slidably connected to the bottom of the upper punch main rod 4 and connects the internal structure using the connecting block 10; a slot 11 is provided inside the connecting block 10, and the punch head 6 is slidably connected inside the slot 11, and moves within the slot 11 under force. A buffer spring 12 is installed inside the empty groove 11. The buffer spring 12 is located between the empty groove 11 and the punch head 6. When the punch head 6 moves, it compresses the buffer spring 12 to relieve excessive impact force.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The quick-change assembly 9 includes a fixed housing 15, which is fixedly connected inside the connecting block 10 to protect the internal structure. A rod 16 is slidably connected inside the connecting block 10. A moving plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rod 16; the moving plate 17 moves, taking the rod 16 with it. A baffle 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rod 16, and a telescopic spring 19 is fitted around the outer periphery of the rod 16. The pressure generated by the cooperation of the baffle 18 and the telescopic spring 19 causes the rod 16 to move upward. A slot 20 is provided at the bottom of the upper punch main rod 4, and the rod 16 engages with the slot 20. As the rod 16 moves upward, it engages with the slot 20.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The upper punch main rod 4 has a slider 21 fixedly connected to its bottom. The top of the connecting block 10 has a groove 22, and the slider 21 is slidably connected inside the groove 22. The slider 21 and the groove 22 cooperate to limit the fixed position of the connecting block 10. The side of the punch head 6 is fixedly connected to a limit block 13, and the inside of the connecting block 10 has a limit groove 14. The limit block 13 is slidably connected inside the limit groove 14. The limit block 13 and the limit groove 14 cooperate to prevent the punch head 6 from sliding out of the connecting block 10. The upper punch main rod 4, punch head 6, pressing mold 7, lower punch 8 and connecting block 10 are all made of tungsten steel, which has extremely high hardness and wear resistance and can withstand long-term high pressure and friction.

[0034] Working principle: When the upper punch presses down, the punch head 6 first contacts the tableting mold 7 and the lower punch 8. The impact force of the downward press causes the punch head 6 to move in the slot 11, squeezing the buffer spring 12. The buffer spring 12 relieves the excess impact force, avoids damage to the tableting mold 7 and the lower punch 8, and ensures the quality of the tablets.

[0035] When it is necessary to replace the punch with a different size, the insert rod 16 is pulled outward by the moving plate 17 to disengage it from the slot 20. The currently used punch head 6 can then be slid out and removed. The slide groove 22 of the punch head 6 to be replaced is slid onto the slider 21. When the insert rod 16 is aligned with the slot 20, the pressure generated by the baffle 18 and the telescopic spring 19 causes the insert rod 16 to move upward and engage in the slot 20, thus completing the replacement of the punch head 6 and improving the work efficiency of replacing the punch head 6.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
