Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material mixing and granulation technology, and in particular to a granule raw material mixing production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, granule production is crucial. Traditionally, granule production relies primarily on manual labor. While this method met some production needs for a period, its drawbacks have become increasingly apparent with industry development. As the pharmaceutical market expands, the demands for both the quantity and quality of granules are rising, making traditional production methods inadequate for the high-efficiency and precision requirements of modern pharmaceutical manufacturing. In recent years, the development of automation technology has brought new opportunities to the pharmaceutical industry, with some companies introducing semi-automated equipment, driving granule production towards greater efficiency and standardization.

[0003] In traditional granule production, various methods were typically employed to achieve operations such as raw material mixing. For raw material handling, manual unpacking was common, with workers directly handling and transporting the materials. Raw material mixing relied heavily on simple stirring equipment, with manual control of stirring time and intensity to achieve initial mixing. Screening and crushing of raw materials also primarily used traditional mechanical equipment, which had low automation levels and required frequent manual intervention. In the conveying process, manual handling and simple conveying devices, such as ordinary belt conveyors, were essential, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in ensuring stable transport.

[0004] Traditional granule production methods have significant drawbacks. Manual operation is not only inefficient, but also susceptible to raw material contamination, making it difficult to guarantee product quality stability. Traditional equipment has a low level of automation, resulting in difficulty in precise process control and poor product consistency. This production method fails to meet the modern pharmaceutical industry's requirements for efficient, clean, and precise production, necessitating a more advanced production line to address these issues.

It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "bottom," and "top" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0025] This utility model discloses a granule raw material mixing production line, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the system includes a feeding mechanism 1, a screening mechanism 2, and a mixer 31. The feeding mechanism 1 feeds the sugar into the screening mechanism 2, which processes and weighs the sugar. The weighed sugar then enters the mixer 31 and is stirred to produce granules. This achieves automated mixing of granule raw materials, improving production efficiency and quality stability. This is because each mechanism has a clear division of labor and works in an orderly manner, reducing manual intervention and lowering the risk of contamination.

[0026] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a vacuum suction lifter 11 and a roller conveyor 12. The vacuum suction lifter 11 is a device that uses the principle of vacuum adsorption to transport objects. It typically consists of a vacuum generator, suction cups, and other components. The suction cups can be selected according to the shape and material of the candy packaging. For example, for bagged candy, flat rubber suction cups can be used, which have strong adsorption force and can adapt to different packaging shapes. An alternative feature of the vacuum suction lifter 11 can be an electromagnetic chuck. For some metal-packaged candy, electromagnetic chucks can more stably adsorb and transport it. The roller conveyor 12 consists of multiple rollers and a frame. The rollers are generally cylindrical and are driven by a motor to rotate, thereby transporting the candy. The rollers can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel, etc. Stainless steel has better corrosion resistance and is suitable for use in humid or corrosive environments. Workers use trolleys to place sugar on vacuum suction machine 11. After vacuum suction machine 11 absorbs the sugar, it is placed on roller conveyor 12, which then transports the sugar to the next stage.

[0027] A disinfection device 4 is also installed between the feeding mechanism 1 and the screening mechanism 2. The disinfection device 4 includes an air shower tunnel sterilizer 41. The air shower tunnel sterilizer 41 is a closed channel with multiple air shower nozzles installed inside. The nozzles spray high-speed clean air to blow away dust and microorganisms on the surface of the sugar. The input end of the air shower tunnel sterilizer 41 is connected to the roller conveyor 12, and the output end is connected to one end of the automatic turning machine of the screening mechanism 2. When the sugar enters the air shower tunnel sterilizer 41 through the roller conveyor 12, the air shower nozzles start working to disinfect the sugar. Then the sugar enters the automatic turning machine from the output end.

[0028] The screening mechanism 2 includes an automatic material turning device 21, a sugar crusher 22, and an automatic weighing system 23. The automatic material turning device 21 is used for manual unpacking of the sugar. It can be a platform with a turning function; workers place the sugar on the platform and turn it over using an operating button, pouring the sugar into subsequent equipment. The sugar crusher 22 is used to crush the sugar. It generally consists of a crushing chamber, blades, a motor, and other components. The blades rotate at high speed, cutting the sugar into fine particles. An alternative feature of the sugar crusher 22 can be a grinder, which can grind the sugar into a finer powder. A trough 5 is provided between the automatic material turning device 21 and the sugar crusher 22. The trough 5 is used to temporarily store the unpacked sugar. A negative pressure system 6 is provided between the trough 5 and the sugar crusher 22, and between the sugar crusher 22 and the automatic weighing system 23. The negative pressure system 6 is a blower; the blower generates negative pressure to draw in and transport the sugar.

[0029] The automatic weighing system 23 includes a feeding pipe 231 and two identical material cylinders 232. The feeding pipe 231 has two discharge ports, each aligned with one of the two material cylinders 232. A switching device 8 is installed on the feeding pipe 231; when one material cylinder 232 is full, the system automatically switches to the other discharge port for feeding. The switching device 8 can be an electric valve, and the switching of the discharge ports is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the electric valve.

[0030] The mixer 31 assembly includes a mixer 31 and a granulator 32. The mixer 31 is installed and fixed by a bracket 9, which is equipped with a ladder 10 for easy inspection of the top of the mixer 31 by workers. The mixer 31 generally consists of a mixing tank, a mixing paddle, a motor, and other components. The mixing paddle rotates under the drive of the motor, thoroughly mixing the pulverized sugar and pharmaceutical materials. The granulator 32 is used to granulate the mixed materials. It can be an extrusion granulator 32, which compresses the material through a mold to form granules. The pulverized sugar is fed into the mixer 31 through a negative pressure system 6 for mixing and then discharged into the granulator 32 to form granules.

[0031] An interlayer elevator 7 is also provided on one side of the mixer 31. The interlayer elevator 7 is used to transport the medicine to be mixed from below to the workers above, and then the workers feed it into the mixer 31. The interlayer elevator 7 can be a bucket elevator, which consists of buckets, chains, drive devices, and other components. The buckets are driven by the chain to lift the medicine to a designated height. An alternative feature of the interlayer elevator 7 can be a screw conveyor, which transports the medicine upwards by rotating screw blades.

[0032] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The granule raw material mixing production line of this embodiment achieves automated mixing of granule raw materials through the orderly cooperation of the feeding mechanism 1, the screening mechanism 2, and the mixer 31. Each mechanism adopts advanced equipment and technology, reducing manual operation, lowering the risk of raw material contamination, and improving production efficiency and product quality stability.

[0033] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
