Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical equipment technology, specifically to an interlayer feeding device for preventing tablet breakage in pharmaceutical equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, tablets or similar granular solids often need to be transferred across floors or work platforms at different heights to process equipment during production. This requires inter-layer unloading devices. However, existing production processes typically involve manual positioning and docking of tablet containers, neglecting tablet breakage and making cleaning and disassembly inconvenient. Specifically: tablet containers are positioned by marking lines or other methods; the connection between the tablet container outlet and the unloading pipe is usually manual; during unloading, the significant differences in distance between layers mean that tablet breakage is not considered; and when cleaning is needed, the entire pipe must be disassembled across floors, which is very inconvenient and time-consuming. This approach fails to achieve automatic tablet container positioning, automatic docking, tablet breakage prevention, and convenient cleaning and disassembly, resulting in high labor intensity and significantly impacting efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes an inter-layer unloading device for pharmaceutical equipment that prevents tablet breakage. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an interlayer feeding device for pharmaceutical equipment that prevents tablet breakage and has the functions of automatic positioning and docking of tablet barrels, prevention of tablet breakage, and convenient cleaning and disassembly.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an interlayer feeding device for preventing tablet breakage in pharmaceutical equipment, comprising an upper box, a connecting rigid pipe b, and a lower box. The upper box and the lower box are connected by the connecting rigid pipe b. A cover plate is provided on the top of the upper box. The connecting rigid pipe a passes through the cover plate and enters the interior of the upper box, with a gap between the connecting rigid pipe a and the cover plate. A silicone ring is provided on the top of the connecting rigid pipe a, and an upper hose clamp for PE bags is provided on the bottom of the connecting rigid pipe a. A silicone connecting pipe is fixed inside the lower box by the upper and lower silicone hose clamps. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the lower box, and a lower hose clamp for PE bags is provided above the discharge port. The PE bag is connected by the upper and lower hose clamps and is disposed inside the connecting rigid pipe and the silicone connecting pipe.
[0005] Preferably, a lifting plate is provided on the connecting rigid pipe a, and a lifting cylinder is provided on each of the left and right sides of the connecting rigid pipe a. The base of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the upper box by bolts, and the top of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the lifting plate on the connecting rigid pipe a.
[0006] Preferably, clamping cylinders are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the silicone connecting tube. The base of the clamping cylinder is fixed to the inner wall of the lower box by bolts. When the clamping cylinder extends, it clamps the silicone connecting tube.
[0007] Preferably, a material level sensor is provided on the discharge port, and a quick-release connector is provided at the bottom of the discharge port.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0009] 1. This utility model uses a PE bag for connection inside the pipe. The top cover can be removed for disassembly and assembly, while the bottom can be directly disassembled and assembled. It can be used as a consumable for regular cleaning or replacement. At the same time, the smooth surface of the PE bag ensures smoother material flow.
[0010] 2. When this utility model is in use, during the automatic tablet feeding process, a cylinder and silicone connecting tube are used. The tablets hit the silicone and will not break, which can effectively ensure the quality of the tablets.
[0011] 3. When the tablet barrel outlet is connected to the connecting rigid pipe, this utility model can eliminate the errors caused by the tablet barrel and positioning device by setting up a lifting cylinder and silicone ring, reducing labor intensity, and making it more automated, stable and reliable.
