Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical testing technology, and in particular to a pharmaceutical grinding and measuring device for pharmaceutical testing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of pharmaceutical testing, the particle size distribution and uniformity of drugs are among the key factors affecting the accuracy of test results. For example, in drug content determination, dissolution testing, or impurity analysis, drugs need to be ground to a specific particle size range to ensure the representativeness of the test samples and the repeatability of experimental results.

[0003] However, traditional pharmaceutical grinding equipment typically requires the drug to be pulverized using a separate grinder before being transferred to a balance or weighing device for measurement. This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to drug loss or contamination. Especially in high-precision testing, operational errors can significantly affect the accuracy of the results. Furthermore, ordinary grinding equipment lacks a particle size screening mechanism, relying on manual experience to adjust grinding time or intensity, resulting in significant particle size variations between different batches of drugs, failing to meet the demands of high-precision testing. In addition, manual screening may introduce impurities or lead to uneven particle size distribution, affecting testing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a drug grinding and metering device for drug testing is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a pharmaceutical grinding and measuring device for pharmaceutical testing, comprising:

[0030] Support frame 1, on which a drive assembly and a weighing base assembly are installed, and a collection hopper 2 is installed at the bottom of the weighing base assembly;

[0031] Grinding cylinder 3 is mounted on support frame 1. The top of grinding cylinder 3 is detachably connected to end cap 4. Several discharge through holes 5 are opened at the bottom of the side wall of grinding cylinder 3.

[0032] The discharge hopper 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 3. The discharge hopper 6 covers several discharge through holes 5. The top of the discharge hopper 6 is provided with a slot 7. The bottom of the discharge hopper 6 faces the collection hopper 2.

[0033] The lifting assembly is installed on the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 3. The lifting end of the lifting assembly is equipped with a baffle valve plate 8, which extends into the discharge hopper 6 along the slot 7.

[0034] The grinding head is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the grinding cylinder 3, and the grinding head is connected to the output end of the drive assembly.

[0035] With this configuration, the present invention uses a drive assembly to rotate the grinding head, thereby grinding the medicine inside the grinding cylinder. After grinding, the medicine powder that meets the particle size requirements is discharged from the discharge hole 5 into the discharge hopper 6, ensuring the uniformity of particle size grinding. The ground powder falls into the collection hopper 2 through the discharge hopper 6, and the medicine can be directly weighed after grinding through the weighing base assembly without the need to transfer samples, thus improving detection efficiency. The present invention realizes the integrated operation of medicine grinding, particle size screening, quantitative discharge and medicine weighing, significantly improving detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0036] This utility model uses a lifting component to drive the baffle valve plate 8 to open and close automatically. When the weight of the ground medicine powder in the collection hopper 2 reaches the preset range, the lifting component can drive the baffle valve plate 8 to descend, blocking several discharge holes, thereby achieving quantitative discharge and improving the accuracy of subsequent testing.

[0038] The ground medicine powder falls into the collection hopper 2. The weighing sensor 11 monitors the weight of the medicine in the collection hopper in real time and transmits the data to the PLC controller. When the weight reaches the preset threshold, the PLC controller triggers the lifting component to block the discharge hole 5, thereby achieving quantitative control.

[0039] The further optimized scheme includes a motor base 12 mounted on the side wall of the support frame 1, a drive motor 13 mounted on the motor base 12, a first pulley mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 13, a grinding head rotatably connected to the grinding cylinder 3 via a rotating shaft, the bottom of the rotating shaft extending out of the grinding cylinder 3, and a second pulley mounted on the bottom of the rotating shaft, the first pulley and the second pulley being connected by a synchronous belt 14.

[0040] The drive motor 13 starts and drives the grinding head to rotate at high speed through the transmission of the first pulley, the synchronous belt 14 and the second pulley, so as to crush the medicine in the grinding cylinder 3.

[0041] Further optimization of the scheme: the lifting assembly includes a cylinder 15 installed on the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 3, a connecting plate 9 installed on the piston end of the cylinder 15, the top of the baffle valve plate 8 being fixedly connected to the connecting plate 9, and both the connecting plate 9 and the baffle valve plate 8 being slidably connected to the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 3.

[0042] In a further optimized design, cylinder 15, drive motor 13, and weighing sensor 11 are all electrically connected to a PLC controller.

[0043] The scheme is further optimized. Several first connecting wing plates are installed on the end cap 4, and several second connecting wing plates are installed on the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 3. Several first connecting wing plates and several second connecting wing plates are set in a one-to-one correspondence. The first connecting wing plates and the second connecting wing plates are connected by screws 16. Nuts are abutted on the top and bottom surfaces of the first connecting wing plates and the top and bottom surfaces of the second connecting wing plates. All four nuts are threadedly connected to the screws 16.

[0044] The design has been further optimized by installing an observation window 17 at the center of the top surface of the end cap 4. During the grinding process, the operator can monitor the status of the medicine in real time through the observation window 17 without having to open the cap frequently.

[0045] In a further optimized design, several casters 18 are installed at the bottom of the support frame 1. Each caster 18 is equipped with a braking device.
