Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical quality testing technology, and relates to a sampling device for sample testing, and more particularly to a continuous granule discharge device for determining the average weight of a sample. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, due to the instability of tableting and capsule filling equipment and the characteristics of the drug powder itself, the weight of the drug powder contained in tablets or capsules fluctuates during the production process. For drugs that treat diseases, the amount of drug contained in a unit dose, i.e., the weight of each tablet, must be kept within a narrow range. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies strictly control and measure the weight of the tablets, and detect and reject defective products that do not meet the weight requirements.

[0003] Determining the average weight of multi-tablet (capsule) formulation samples is a frequent QC inspection or production control operation, usually requiring continuous measurement of the weight of multiple tablets (capsules). However, currently, tweezers or direct manual sampling is generally used to take samples one by one, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has relatively low sampling efficiency.

[0024] Figure 2 This is a partially enlarged structural diagram of part A in a continuous granulation device for determining the average weight of a sample according to this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a continuous granulation device for determining the average weight of a sample is provided. This device mainly comprises two parts: a multi-compartment housing 100 and a continuous feeding mechanism 200. The continuous feeding mechanism 200, serving as the granulation structure, is installed within the multi-compartment housing 100 and is used to continuously extract the sample 300 to be tested. The sample 300 can be different pharmaceutical preparations, such as pills, tablets, or capsules.

[0028] Specifically, to facilitate sample storage and the installation of the continuous feeding mechanism 200, the multi-compartment housing 100 mainly includes a storage compartment 110 and a discharge compartment 140, with the discharge compartment 140 located at the bottom of the storage compartment 110. The storage compartment 110 is used to store a certain number of samples 300 to be tested, and the discharge compartment 140 is used to install the push rod 208 of the continuous feeding mechanism 200.

[0029] To enable the sample 300 to be tested to be transferred to the discharge hopper 140, a mold plate 111 is provided at the bottom of the storage hopper 110, and a discharge hole 112 of a certain size is opened on the mold plate 111. The lower opening of the discharge hole 112 is located at the right end of the discharge hopper 140, and is vertically connected. The left end of the discharge hopper 140 is set as the discharge port to facilitate the output and sampling of the sample 300 to be tested.

[0030] The output of the test sample 300 is driven by the continuous pushing mechanism 200. The right end of the continuous pushing mechanism 200 is located at the right end of the discharge chamber 140 and on the left side below the discharge hole 112. Driving the continuous pushing mechanism 200 can simultaneously drive the push rod 208 at the other end to move back and forth in the discharge chamber 140. The push rod 208, driven by the reciprocating push, will push the test samples 300 that fall continuously from the discharge hole 112 out of the outlet of the discharge chamber 140 one by one, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous sampling.

[0031] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multi-compartment box 100 is divided into a storage compartment 110, a power pressing compartment 120, a power reversing compartment 130, and a discharge compartment 140 by a partition. The power pressing compartment 120, the power reversing compartment 130, and the discharge compartment 140 are respectively located at the top, back, and bottom of the storage compartment 110 and are connected in a C-shape to form a C-shaped transmission cavity for installing the continuous pushing mechanism 200.

[0032] The storage bin 110 and the discharge bin 140 at its bottom are separated by a mold plate 111, and the discharge hole 112 at the right end of the mold plate 111 is an opening that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. Mold plates 111 with different numbers or diameters of discharge holes 112 can be selected as needed to meet the measurement requirements of different sizes or different sampling quantities.

[0033] To avoid the accumulation of test samples 300 in the storage bin 110 and the problem of large sampling margin, a guide plate 113 is provided on the inner bottom of the storage bin 110. The top of the guide plate 113 is designed with an arc shape to diffuse the test samples 300 accumulated in the storage bin 110 into the lower discharge hole 112, thereby improving the utilization rate and sampling efficiency of the test samples 300 in the storage bin 110.

[0034] An openable cover 114 is provided on the right side wall of the storage hopper 110. The cover 114 can be designed as a sliding door or a hinged door, used to replenish the sample 300 to be tested into the storage hopper 110. A transparent observation window can be installed on the cover 114 as needed to observe the remaining sample level and feeding status within the storage hopper 110.

[0035] In addition, a pressing opening communicating with the outside is provided at the right end of the power pressing chamber 120 to facilitate the installation of button 201, and its left end is connected to the top of the power reversing chamber 130 for the installation of the first link 202 and the second link 203.

[0036] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the continuous feeding mechanism 200 includes a first link 202, a second link 203, and a third link 207, wherein the first link 202, the second link 203, and the third link 207 are respectively disposed in the power pressing chamber 120, the power reversing chamber 130, and the discharge chamber 140, and are hinged to each other to form a three-bar linkage mechanism with the beginning and end linked. As needed, the continuous feeding mechanism 200 can be driven manually or electrically.

[0037] As a preferred implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a button 201 is fixedly installed at the right end of the first connecting rod 202. The button 201 can be moved left and right and is installed in the pressing opening at the right end of the power pressing chamber 120 for easy manual operation. When the button 201 is pressed to the leftmost position, the three-bar linkage consisting of the first connecting rod 202, the second connecting rod 203, and the third connecting rod 207 can synchronously drive the third connecting rod 207 to reciprocate. The direction of its movement is opposite to that of the button 201, thereby pushing the sample 300 to be tested, which falls continuously from the feeding hole 112, out of the outlet of the discharge chamber 140 to achieve the sampling purpose.

[0038] To reset the continuous feeding mechanism 200, a reset spring 211 is fitted onto the first connecting rod 202. One end of the reset spring 211 abuts against the button 201, and the other end abuts against the housing inside the left end of the power pressing chamber 120. When the button 201 is pressed, the reset spring 211 is compressed. When the pressing force on the button 201 is released, the reset spring 211 resets and pushes the button 201 to the right, simultaneously driving the first connecting rod 202, the second connecting rod 203, and the third connecting rod 207 to move, which in turn drives the push rod 208 at the end of the third connecting rod 207 to reset to the left.

[0039] To improve the structural stability of the button 201 during use and prevent it from wobbling at the opening of the power pressing chamber 120, the button 201 is designed as a square or cylindrical structure according to the inner shape of the power pressing chamber 120, and is movably embedded in the pressing opening at the right end of the power pressing chamber 120.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the second connecting rod 202 are hinged to the left ends of the first connecting rod 202 and the third connecting rod 207 via the first pin 204 and the second pin 206, respectively. A fixed shaft 205 is hinged to the middle of the second connecting rod 202, and the two ends of the fixed shaft 205 are fixedly installed on the two side plates of the multi-compartment box 100, respectively.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, in order to enable the continuous feeding mechanism 200 to push the sample 300 to be tested out of the feeding hole 112 stably and accurately, the right end of the third connecting rod 207 is set as a push rod 208 with a specific structural design. The right end of the push rod 208 is provided with a first push head 209 and a second push head 210 arranged at intervals and both having a pointed conical structure.

[0042] Specifically, the first pusher 209 is located at the lower end, and the second pusher 210 is located at the upper end, with the length of the first pusher 209 being greater than the length of the second pusher 210, so as to stably push the sample 300 to be tested out from the feed hole 112. The third connecting rod 207, the pusher 208, and the first pusher 209 and the second pusher 210 at their right ends are designed as an integral structure.

[0043] The continuous pelleting device for measuring the average weight of the sample divides the multi-compartment box 100 into a storage compartment 110 and a C-shaped transmission cavity consisting of a power pressing compartment 120, a power reversing compartment 130, and a discharge compartment 140. The sample to be tested can be placed in the storage compartment 110. The continuous pushing mechanism 200 is installed in the C-shaped transmission cavity and is used to continuously push the sample to be tested out from the discharge hole 112 at the bottom of the storage compartment through the lever principle, so as to meet the sampling requirements for continuous measurement of the weight of multiple pieces (granules).
