Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology in pharmaceutical production, specifically a dryer for biopharmaceutical production. Background Technology

[0002] Biomedicine is a broad field that combines knowledge and technology from biology, medicine, and engineering to develop new treatments, diagnostic tools, and preventative measures to improve human health. Biomedical production refers to a series of processes that use biotechnology and engineering principles to manufacture drugs and other medical products through biological systems (such as microorganisms, animal cells, or plant cells). These products include, but are not limited to, vaccines, antibodies, hormones, enzymes, blood products, gene therapy vectors, and other complex protein drugs.

[0003] In current biopharmaceutical production processes, medicinal materials need to be dried, which requires the use of dryers. Existing dryers have trays for placing medicinal materials inside, with the trays arranged in layers to ensure that heat is evenly distributed around the trays for drying. However, the dryers do not have the function of turning the medicinal materials placed inside the trays. The machine must be stopped, the door opened, and the medicinal materials inside the trays must be stirred and turned manually. This not only causes heat loss inside the dryer and reduces the drying efficiency of the medicinal materials, but also makes it easy for manual operation to cause burns. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a dryer for biopharmaceutical production. It solves the problem that existing dryers do not have the function of turning over the medicinal materials placed inside the trays. Instead, the machine needs to be stopped and the door opened, and the medicinal materials inside the trays need to be stirred and turned over manually. This not only causes heat loss inside the dryer and reduces the drying efficiency of the medicinal materials, but also makes it easy for manual operation to cause burns.

[0005] Specifically, the flipping component can stir and turn the medicinal materials inside the tray back and forth, ensuring even heating and accelerating the drying process. This eliminates the need to stop the dryer and manually flip the materials, preventing heat loss and improving drying efficiency. It also prevents burns from manual operation. Furthermore, the pressure relief component allows for pressure relief and exhaust of the dryer, ensuring safe operation when drying medicinal materials.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0007] A dryer for biopharmaceutical production includes: a dryer body, trays, a door, an observation window, a tilting assembly, and a pressure relief assembly. The dryer body has three trays inside. The door is hinged to the outside of the dryer body, and an observation window is installed on the outside of the door. Each of the three trays has a tilting assembly on its top, which includes: an equipment box, an electric telescopic cylinder, a telescopic rod, a connecting plate, a push rod, a stirring plate, and a sliding sleeve. The dryer body has a pressure relief assembly on its top, which includes: a pressure gauge, a vent pipe, a solenoid valve, and a control panel.

[0008] In a further preferred embodiment, an equipment box is installed on one side of the outer end of the dryer body. Two electric telescopic cylinders are installed inside the equipment box. Each of the two electric telescopic cylinders has a telescopic rod installed at one end. A connecting plate is installed at one end of the telescopic rod. Three push rods are installed at one end of the connecting plate. All three push rods penetrate the interior of the dryer body. An agitator plate is installed at one end of each of the three push rods. A sliding sleeve that is slidably connected to the push rods is installed at the outer end of the dryer body.

[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, a pressure gauge is installed on one side of the top of the dryer body, a vent pipe is installed on one side of the pressure gauge, a solenoid valve is installed on the vent pipe, and a control panel electrically connected to the solenoid valve is installed on the outside of the machine door.

[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the bottom of the agitator plate is provided with a toothed structure.

[0011] In a further preferred embodiment, three powerful magnetic blocks are installed on both sides of the interior of the dryer body, and mounting grooves are opened on both sides of the top of the three trays. Magnets that are magnetically attracted and fixed to the powerful magnetic blocks are installed inside the mounting grooves, and the magnets are flush with the top surface of the trays.

[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, a heating box is installed on the outer side of the dryer body away from the equipment box, three heating blocks are installed between the heating box and the dryer body, and a temperature and humidity sensor is installed on one side inside the dryer body.

[0013] In a further preferred embodiment, breathable mesh is installed on the bottom and four sides of the interior of each of the three trays.

[0014] In a further preferred embodiment, a control panel electrically connected to the two electric telescopic cylinders is installed on the outside of the equipment box. The control panel is provided with a synchronous start button and a synchronous stop button for controlling the two electric telescopic cylinders.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] (1) By using the equipment box, electric telescopic cylinder, telescopic rod, connecting plate, push rod, stirring plate and sliding sleeve together, the medicinal materials inside the tray can be stirred and turned over from side to side, so that the medicinal materials are heated evenly, which can speed up the drying speed of the medicinal materials. There is no need to stop the main body of the dryer and turn over manually, which avoids the heat loss inside the main body of the dryer, improves the drying efficiency of the medicinal materials, and also prevents the manual operation from being burned.

[0017] (2) By using the pressure gauge, vent pipe, solenoid valve and control panel together, the internal pressure of the dryer body can be released and the air can be vented, ensuring safe use of the dryer body 1 when drying medicinal materials. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Example

[0034] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a dryer for biopharmaceutical production includes: a dryer body 1, trays 101, a door 102, an observation window 103, a flipping assembly, and a pressure relief assembly. The dryer body 1 has three trays 101 inside. The door 102 is hinged to the outside of the dryer body 1. An observation window 103 is installed on the outside of the door 102. Each of the three trays 101 has a flipping assembly on its top, which includes: an equipment box 2, an electric telescopic cylinder 201, a telescopic rod 202, a connecting plate 203, a push rod 204, a stirring plate 205, and a sliding sleeve 206. The dryer body 1 has a pressure relief assembly on its top, which includes: a pressure gauge 3, a vent pipe 301, a solenoid valve 302, and a control panel 303.

[0035] The dryer body 1 has three strong magnetic blocks 104 installed on both sides inside. The top of the three trays 101 has mounting grooves 105 on both sides. The mounting grooves 105 are all equipped with magnets 106 that are magnetically attracted and fixed to the strong magnetic blocks 104. The magnets 106 are flush with the top surface of the trays 101.

[0036] When drying medicinal herbs, place them in tray 101 and spread them out flat to avoid stacking. Then, place tray 101 inside the dryer body 1 and position it under the strong magnetic block 104. At this point, the magnets 106 on both sides of the top of tray 101 are magnetically attracted and fixed to the strong magnetic block 104, making tray 101 securely placed inside the dryer body 1. That is, the three trays 101 are arranged in layers as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the stirring plate 205 is placed inside the tray 101 on one side.

[0037] A heating box 107 is installed on the outer side of the dryer body 1 away from the equipment box 2. Three heating blocks 108 are installed between the heating box 107 and the dryer body 1. A temperature and humidity sensor 109 is installed on one side inside the dryer body 1.

[0038] After the medicinal materials are placed inside the dryer body 1, the heating block 108 and the temperature and humidity sensor 109 are activated via the control panel 303. The heat generated by the heating block 108 is transferred to the interior of the dryer body 1, allowing the heat to dissipate and dry the medicinal materials. During the drying process, the temperature and humidity sensor 109 detects the temperature and humidity inside the dryer body 1 and transmits the data to the control panel 303 via electrical signals. The control panel 303 has a display screen that shows the temperature and humidity values, allowing staff to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the dryer body 1. For those skilled in the art, the heating block 108, the temperature and humidity sensor 109, the control panel 303, and the display screen are standard designs in the field. The heating block 108 and the temperature and humidity sensor 109 are electrically connected to the control panel 303, and the control panel 303 has buttons for controlling the start and stop of the heating block 108 and the temperature and humidity sensor 109, which are common knowledge.

[0039] The three trays 101 are equipped with breathable mesh 4 at their bottom and four sides. When the three trays 101 are placed in layers inside the dryer body 1, heat can be dissipated between the three trays 101. The breathable mesh 4 increases the air heat flow between the three trays 101, ensuring that the three trays 101 are heated evenly, thus drying the medicinal materials. After the medicinal materials placed inside the trays 101 are dried, the trays 101 can be pulled down from the bottom of the strong magnetic block 104. That is, the magnets 106 on both sides of the top of the tray 101 are pulled and separated from the strong magnetic block 104, so that the trays 101 can be removed and taken out of the dryer body 1. During the disassembly process, there is no interference with the stirring plate 205, making the disassembly and installation of the trays 101 convenient.

[0040] Among them, an equipment box 2 is installed on one side of the outer end of the dryer body 1. Two electric telescopic cylinders 201 are installed inside the equipment box 2. Each of the two electric telescopic cylinders 201 has a telescopic rod 202 installed at one end. A connecting plate 203 is installed at one end of the telescopic rod 202. Three push rods 204 are installed at one end of the connecting plate 203. All three push rods 204 pass through the interior of the dryer body 1. An agitator plate 205 is installed at one end of each of the three push rods 204. A sliding sleeve 206 that is slidably connected to the push rods 204 is installed at the outer end of the dryer body 1.

[0041] During the drying process of the medicinal materials inside the tray 101, the electric telescopic cylinder 201 is activated by the control panel 5. The electric telescopic cylinder 201 drives the telescopic rod 202 to move back and forth, which in turn pushes the connecting plate 203, the three push rods 204 and the stirring plate 205 to move back and forth. The stirring plate 205 can stir and turn the medicinal materials inside the tray 101 back and forth, so that the medicinal materials are heated evenly and the drying speed can be accelerated. There is no need to stop the dryer body 1 to manually turn the materials, which avoids heat loss inside the dryer body 1, improves the drying efficiency of the medicinal materials, and also prevents the operator from being burned.

[0042] When the connecting plate 203 pushes the three push rods 204 to move back and forth, the sliding sleeve 206 allows the three push rods 204 to slide and connect with the dryer body 1, ensuring that the three push rods 204 can operate normally while also slowing down the wear and tear of the push rods 204.

[0043] The bottom of the stirring plate 205 is set in a toothed structure. When the stirring plate 205 is placed inside the tray 101 and comes into contact with the medicinal materials, the bottom of the stirring plate 205 is set in a toothed structure to avoid generating too much resistance during the stirring of the medicinal materials. When stirring the medicinal materials, the medicinal materials can pass through the teeth to prevent them from being pushed and piled up together.

[0044] The equipment box 2 has a control panel 5 that is electrically connected to the two electric telescopic cylinders 201 installed on its outside. The control panel 5 is equipped with a synchronous start button and a synchronous stop button for controlling the two electric telescopic cylinders 201. When the two electric telescopic cylinders 201 are in use, the synchronous start button on the control panel 5 can be used to start the two electric telescopic cylinders 201 at the same time, or the synchronous stop button can be used to stop the two electric telescopic cylinders 201 at the same time.

[0045] Among them, a pressure gauge 3 is installed on one side of the top of the dryer body 1, a vent pipe 301 is installed on one side of the pressure gauge 3, a solenoid valve 302 is installed on the vent pipe 301, and a control panel 303 electrically connected to the solenoid valve 302 is installed on the outside of the machine door 102.

[0046] When the medicinal materials are dried inside the dryer body 1, the pressure gauge 3 is activated via the control panel 303. During the heating process, as the temperature rises, the moisture in the medicinal materials begins to absorb enough heat to overcome the surface tension of the liquid, thus changing from a liquid state to a gaseous state, i.e., generating water vapor inside the dryer body 1. This causes the air pressure inside the dryer body 1 to rise. At this time, the pressure gauge 3 can detect the air pressure inside the dryer body 1. When the air pressure rises as seen on the pressure gauge 3, the solenoid valve 302 is activated via the control panel 303. The solenoid valve 302 opens, and the water vapor inside the dryer body 1 is discharged out through the vent pipe 301, ensuring safe use of the dryer body 1 when drying medicinal materials. After the air pressure inside the dryer body 1 decreases, the solenoid valve 302 is closed via the control panel 303, sealing the vent pipe 301 to prevent heat loss from the dryer body 1.

[0047] Both the dryer body 1 and the equipment box 2 are powered by an external power source during use. The control panel 303 can control the heating block 108, temperature and humidity sensor 109, pressure gauge 3 and solenoid valve 302 to start or stop working respectively. The control panel 5 can control the electric telescopic cylinder 201 to start or stop working. The control program involved in this utility model can be implemented by those skilled in the art based on the same or similar principles in the prior art. This part is not the innovation of this utility model.

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] When drying medicinal herbs, place them in tray 101 and spread them out flat to avoid stacking. Then, place tray 101 inside the dryer body 1 and position it under the strong magnetic block 104. At this point, the magnets 106 on both sides of the top of tray 101 are magnetically attracted and fixed to the strong magnetic block 104, making tray 101 securely placed inside the dryer body 1. That is, the three trays 101 are arranged in layers as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the stirring plate 205 is placed inside the tray 101 on one side. The heating block 108 and the temperature and humidity sensor 109 are activated by the control panel 303. The heat generated by the heating block 108 is transferred to the interior of the dryer body 1, so that the heat is dissipated inside the dryer body 1 to dry the medicinal materials. During the drying process, the temperature and humidity inside the dryer body 1 can be detected by the temperature and humidity sensor 109 and transmitted to the control panel 303 by means of electrical signals. The control panel 303 is equipped with a display screen, which can display the temperature and humidity values, so that the staff can know the temperature and humidity inside the dryer body 1.

[0050] During the drying process of the medicinal materials inside the tray 101, the electric telescopic cylinder 201 is activated by the control panel 5. The electric telescopic cylinder 201 drives the telescopic rod 202 to move back and forth, which in turn pushes the connecting plate 203, the three push rods 204 and the stirring plate 205 to move back and forth. The stirring plate 205 can stir and turn the medicinal materials inside the tray 101 back and forth, so that the medicinal materials are heated evenly and the drying speed can be accelerated. There is no need to stop the dryer body 1 to manually turn the materials, which avoids heat loss inside the dryer body 1, improves the drying efficiency of the medicinal materials, and also prevents the operator from being burned.

[0051] When the medicinal materials are dried inside the dryer body 1, the pressure gauge 3 is activated via the control panel 303. During the heating process, as the temperature rises, the moisture in the medicinal materials begins to absorb enough heat to overcome the surface tension of the liquid, thus changing from a liquid state to a gaseous state, i.e., generating water vapor inside the dryer body 1. This causes the air pressure inside the dryer body 1 to rise. At this time, the pressure gauge 3 can detect the air pressure inside the dryer body 1. When the air pressure rises as seen on the pressure gauge 3, the solenoid valve 302 is activated via the control panel 303. The solenoid valve 302 opens, and the water vapor inside the dryer body 1 is discharged out through the vent pipe 301, ensuring safe use of the dryer body 1 when drying medicinal materials. After the air pressure inside the dryer body 1 decreases, the solenoid valve 302 is closed via the control panel 303, sealing the vent pipe 301 to prevent heat loss from the dryer body 1.
