Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical production technology, specifically to a tablet compression device for pharmaceutical tablet production. Background Technology

[0002] Drug tableting involves compressing powdered or granular drug ingredients into tablets. From the patient's perspective, tablets are small and regularly shaped, making them easier to swallow than powders or granules, allowing for precise dosage and ensuring accurate medication administration as prescribed. From the drug's perspective, tableting improves stability and reduces the impact of light, air, and moisture. In terms of production, storage, and transportation, tablets can be automated, resulting in high efficiency, low cost, and durable products that are less prone to damage. Furthermore, special processes can control drug release, reducing irritation and improving appearance and taste.

[0003] In drug tableting, powdered or granular drug raw materials are typically placed into extrusion chambers of a specific shape, and then a pressure mechanism applies pressure to compress the raw materials into tablets. To improve production efficiency, multiple extrusion chambers are usually set up. During this process, because the structure of powdered or granular raw materials is relatively loose, gaps and voids may exist between the raw materials after they are placed into the extrusion chambers. This causes differences in the amount of raw materials in each extrusion chamber, resulting in uneven tablet size and weight, which affects product quality. To eliminate gaps and voids between the raw materials in the extrusion chambers and ensure that the amount of raw materials in each extrusion chamber is basically the same, thereby producing tablets with more uniform size and weight and ensuring product quality, we propose a tableting device for drug tablet production.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] This invention provides a tableting apparatus for pharmaceutical tablet production. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0015] This tableting device for pharmaceutical tablet production uses a feeding cylinder to move the feeding frame to the left, moving the raw material in the feeding frame above the tableting mold. The raw material above the tableting mold falls into the tableting cavity under gravity. At the same time, a baffle moves to the left, blocking the raw material in the raw material box from falling. When the baffle moves, it drives the rack to move to the left through a connecting rod, which in turn drives the drive gear to rotate, causing the tableting mold to rotate back and forth. The rotation of the tableting mold drives the protrusions to rotate. During the rotation of the protrusions, the impact blocks continuously impact the tableting mold, causing the tableting mold to vibrate slightly. Under the dual action of rotation and vibration, gaps and voids between the raw materials in the tableting cavity can be eliminated, making the amount of raw material in each group of tableting cavities basically the same. This results in more uniform tablet size and weight, ensuring product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tableting device for pharmaceutical tablet production, including a workbench 1, a raw material box 3 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, a feed inlet 4 connected to the top of the raw material box 3, an installation box 2 fixedly connected to the right side of the raw material box 3, an installation cylinder 6 fixedly connected to the left side of the raw material box 3, a tableting mold 14 rotatably mounted on the top of the workbench 1, the tableting mold 14 having several sets of tableting cavities, a feeding component installed on the workbench 1 to make the raw material enter each set of tableting cavities evenly, a tableting component installed on the tableting cylinder 5 to tablet the raw material, an ejector component installed on the workbench 1 to eject the tablets from the tableting cavities, and a feeding component installed on the installation box 2 to convey the raw material and the finished tablets;

[0024] The feeding assembly includes a drive rod 19, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the worktable 1. A drive gear 20 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the drive rod 19. A half-tooth disk 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive rod 19. A half-gear 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the half-tooth disk 24. A rotating rod 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tableting mold 14. A rotating gear 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 25. The rotating gear 22 meshes with the half-gear 23 and the half-tooth disk 24. A vibration mechanism that causes the tableting mold 14 to vibrate is installed on the worktable 1.

[0025] The vibration mechanism includes several sets of protrusions 21, which are fixedly connected to the outside of the tablet pressing mold 14. Several sets of mounting cavities 29 are opened on the top of the worktable 1. Impact blocks 28 are slidably mounted on the mounting cavities 29. The side of the impact block 28 close to the tablet pressing mold 14 abuts against the tablet pressing mold 14. A spring 30 is fixedly connected to the side of the impact block 28 away from the tablet pressing mold 14. The end of the spring 30 away from the impact block 28 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 29.

[0026] In use, the raw materials are fed into the raw material box 3 through the feed port 4. The feeding component is controlled to transport the raw materials to the top of the tableting mold 14. The raw materials fall into the tableting cavity under the action of gravity. During this process, the feeding component drives the drive rod 19 to rotate, causing the half gear 23 and the half gear plate 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating gear 22 to rotate back and forth, and drives the tableting mold 14 to rotate back and forth. The rotation of the tableting mold 14 drives the protrusion 21 to rotate. During the rotation of the protrusion 21, it squeezes the impact block 28, causing the impact block 28 to move away from the tableting mold 14. Then, the impact block 28 is reset under the action of the spring 30 and impacts the tableting mold 14, causing the tableting mold 14 to vibrate slightly. Under the dual action of rotation and vibration, the gaps and voids between the raw materials in the tableting cavity can be eliminated, so that the amount of raw materials in each group of tableting cavities is basically the same, thereby making the size and weight of the produced tablets more uniform and ensuring product quality. Then, the tableting component is started to press the raw materials in the tableting cavity into tablets, and then the tablets are ejected by the ejector component.

[0027] The feeding assembly includes a feeding cylinder 7, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting box 2. The output end of the feeding cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to a feeding frame 11. The raw material box 3 has a first sliding opening that matches the feeding frame 11. The feeding frame 11 is slidably connected to the first sliding opening. A baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the feeding frame 11. A drive mechanism for driving the feeding assembly to operate is installed on the baffle 10.

[0028] Start the feeding cylinder 7, which moves the feeding frame 11 to the left and above the tableting mold 14, causing the raw material in the feeding frame 11 to move to the left. At the same time, the baffle 10 moves to the left to block the raw material in the raw material box 3 from falling.

[0029] The drive mechanism includes a connecting rod 8, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle 10. The top of the worktable 1 has a second sliding opening that matches the connecting rod 8. The connecting rod 8 is slidably connected to the second sliding opening. A rack 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 8, and the rack 9 meshes with the drive gear 20.

[0030] When the baffle 10 moves, it drives the rack 9 to move to the left through the connecting rod 8, which drives the drive gear 20 to rotate, causing the drive rod 19 to rotate.

[0031] The tableting assembly includes a tableting cylinder 5, which is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting cylinder 6. A pressure plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the tableting cylinder 5. The outer side of the pressure plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 6. Several sets of pressure blocks 13 that match the tableting cavity are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 12.

[0032] Start the tableting cylinder 5, which drives the pressure plate 12 to descend, and drives the pressure block 13 to descend, so that the pressure block 13 is inserted into the tableting cavity on the tableting mold 14, applying a certain pressure to the raw material and pressing the raw material into tablets.

[0033] The feeding assembly includes a feeding cylinder 17, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the workbench 1. A connecting frame 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the feeding cylinder 17. A lifting plate 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 18. A top plate 16 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting plate 26. Several sets of top blocks 15 that match the tableting cavity are fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 16. A rotating rod 25 moves through the lifting plate 26 and slides through the top plate 16. A limiting ring 27 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 25.

[0034] After tableting is completed, the control cylinder 17 drives the connecting frame 18 to rise, which in turn drives the lifting plate 26 to rise, causing the top plate 16 to rise, which in turn drives the top block 15 to rise. When the top of the top plate 16 abuts against the top of the inner cavity of the worktable 1, the top of the top block 15 is flush with the top of the worktable 1, thereby ejecting the tablets from the tableting chamber.

[0035] Working principle: During use, raw materials are fed into the raw material box 3 through the feed inlet 4. The feeding cylinder 7 is activated, which moves the feeding frame 11 to the left and above the tableting mold 14, causing the raw materials in the feeding frame 11 to move to the left. At the same time, the baffle 10 moves to the left, blocking the raw materials in the raw material box 3 from falling. The raw materials above the tableting mold 14 fall into the tableting cavity under the action of gravity. During this process, when the baffle 10 moves, it drives the rack 9 to move to the left through the connecting rod 8, which drives the drive gear 20 to rotate, causing the drive rod 19 to rotate, causing the half gear 23 and half gear disk 24 to rotate, driving the rotating gear 22 to rotate back and forth, and driving the tableting mold 14 to rotate back and forth. The rotation of the tableting mold 14 drives the protrusion 21 to rotate. During the rotation of the protrusion 21, it squeezes the impact block 28, causing the impact block 28 to move away from the tableting mold 14. Then, the impact block 28 is pushed away by the spring 30. The tableting mold 14 is reset and impacted, causing it to vibrate slightly. Under the combined action of rotation and vibration, gaps and voids between raw materials in the tableting chambers are eliminated, ensuring that the amount of raw material in each group of tableting chambers is basically the same. This results in more uniform tablet size and weight, guaranteeing product quality. Next, the tableting cylinder 5 is activated, causing the pressure plate 12 to descend and the pressure block 13 to descend, so that the pressure block 13 is inserted into the tableting chamber on the tableting mold 14, applying a certain pressure to the raw material and pressing it into tablets. After tableting is completed, the top material cylinder 17 is controlled to drive the connecting frame 18 to rise, which in turn drives the lifting plate 26 to rise, causing the top plate 16 to rise and the top block 15 to rise. When the top of the top plate 16 abuts against the top of the inner cavity of the worktable 1, the top of the top block 15 is flush with the top of the worktable 1, thereby ejecting the tablets from the tableting chamber for subsequent collection and packaging.
