Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Tablet hardness is an important physical indicator of tablet quality. Tablet hardness refers to the tablet's ability to resist damage from external forces. From a production perspective, appropriate hardness ensures the integrity of tablets during the production process, preventing breakage and cracking during coating, packaging, and transportation. Tablets pressed by high-speed tablet presses need a certain degree of hardness to withstand the pressure and friction generated by mechanical operation. Moreover, hardness also affects drug dissolution. Overly hard tablets may cause slow drug dissolution, affecting drug absorption and efficacy, while overly soft tablets may be damaged before reaching the patient. In terms of testing, a specialized hardness tester is usually used to measure tablet hardness. The tablet is fixed on the instrument, and a certain pressure is applied to test the maximum pressure it can withstand. This pressure value represents the tablet's hardness, and hardness testing is required during production.

[0003] Tablet hardness testers primarily determine tablet hardness by applying pressure. A mechanical or electric device slowly applies pressure to the tablet, displaying the hardness value on a screen. The operator rotates a handle to bring two pressure plates closer together, applying pressure to the tablet. When the tablet breaks, the reading on the dial is the tablet's hardness value. However, testing the hardness of a single tablet is costly and inefficient. With technological advancements, multiple tablets can now be tested. The core components typically include a testing platform that holds multiple tablets and a pressure device. The testing platform has multiple regularly arranged grooves and slots to hold the tablets in place, ensuring they don't move or become misaligned during testing. The pressure device generally consists of a motor, lead screw, slider, and pressure sensor. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the slider to move up and down. The bottom of the slider is connected to the pressure head. However, in this type of multi-tablet testing mechanism, tablets cannot automatically enter the testing mechanism, and tablet positions are prone to deviation, leading to inaccurate pressing and significantly increasing testing time, thus affecting the test results. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a tablet hardness tester for detecting the hardness of multiple tablets, aiming to improve the problems in the prior art where the tablets cannot automatically enter the detection mechanism and the tablet position is prone to deviation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tablet hardness tester for detecting the hardness of multiple tablets, comprising a platform, a motor fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the platform, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a disc rotatably connected to the top of the rotating rod, a turntable rotatably connected to the top of the disc, a fixed rod rotatably connected to the top of the turntable, multiple baffles fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the fixed rod, a support plate slidably connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the fixed rod, a pushing column fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, an electric push rod fixedly connected to the top of the pushing column, and a disassembly mechanism provided on the top of the platform for installation and disassembly.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The disassembly mechanism includes a fixed cylinder. Multiple fixed cylinders are fixedly connected to the top left end of the table. A rotating cylinder is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed cylinder. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder. A magnetic head is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plate. The outer wall of the magnetic head is slidably connected to a magnetic buckle. A limit rod is fixedly connected to the top left side of the table near the middle. A spring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limit rod.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The top of each turntable has multiple circular grooves, and the outer wall of each circular groove is slidably connected to an extrusion column. The top of the extrusion column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A stop bar is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the fixed rod, and a fixing head is fixedly connected to the front side of the stop bar.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] Multiple support rods are fixedly connected to the top left side of the tabletop near the edge, and a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of each of the multiple support rods.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top right side of the tabletop, and an operation screen is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] A protective shell is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the platform, and the inside of the protective shell is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] A support block is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the platform, and a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support block.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, when the motor is started, the motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and then the rotating rod drives the turntable to rotate. Because the baffle is fixed on the fixed rod, the tablet will fall into the circular groove under the scraping action of the baffle. Then the support plate drives the extrusion column to press down, extruding the tablet and performing testing. This realizes the function of dispersing the tablet into each circular groove through the rotation of the turntable and performing hardness testing.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, when disassembly is required, the clamping plate is first rotated outward, and then the clamping plate drives the magnetic head to rotate outward. At this time, the clamping plate drives the rotating cylinder to rotate on the surface of the fixed cylinder. Then the magnetic head will be attracted to the magnetic buckle. At this time, the spring will spring up, and the turntable can be taken out. Then the clamping plate can lock the turntable again, thus realizing the function of disassembling the turntable for replacement. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 6 A connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the tabletop 1, and an operation panel 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 18 for operation.

[0040] Working principle: When testing is required, the tablets are first placed between the baffles 8 on the turntable 6, and then the motor 3 is started. At this time, the motor 3 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate, and then the rotating rod 4 drives the turntable 6 to rotate. Since the baffles 8 are fixed on the fixed rod 7, the tablets will fall into the circular grooves 13 under the scraping action of the baffles 8. At this time, the electric push rod 11 is started by setting the value, and then the electric push rod 11 drives the push column 10 to move downward. Then the push column 10 drives the support plate 9 to move downward, and then the support plate 9 drives the extrusion column 12 to extrude downward, extruding the tablets and performing testing. This achieves the function of dispersing the tablets into each circular groove 13 through the rotation of the turntable 6 for hardness testing.

[0041] When disassembly is required, first rotate the clamping plate 203 outward, then the clamping plate 203 drives the magnetic head 204 to rotate outward. At this time, the clamping plate 203 drives the rotating cylinder 202 to rotate on the surface of the fixed cylinder 201. Then the magnetic head 204 will be attracted to the magnetic buckle 205. At this time, the spring 207 will spring upward, and the turntable 6 can be removed. When installation is required, the turntable 6 is placed back on the table 1. At this time, the spring 207 is squeezed to press against the limit rod 206. Then the clamping plate 203 is rotated back. At this time, the magnetic head 204 leaves the magnetic buckle 205, and the clamping plate 203 can lock the turntable 6 again, thus realizing the function of disassembling the turntable 6 for replacement.

[0042] 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.
