Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pelleting machine cutting technology, and in particular to a cutting mechanism for a pharmaceutical pelleting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A pharmaceutical pill-making machine is a specialized device used to form medicinal pills from materials such as traditional Chinese medicine herbs. It can produce various types of pills, including honey pills, concentrated pills, water-honey pills, and water pills, and is particularly suitable for small pharmaceutical factories, large and medium-sized pharmaceutical factory pilot plants, traditional Chinese medicine research institutes, hospitals, private clinics, traditional Chinese medicine shops, and on-site processing and sales points for precious tonics. It can efficiently produce granular products to meet the needs of various traditional Chinese medicine preparations. A pharmaceutical pill-making machine typically consists of a pill-making drum, motor, heater, and other components. The entire machine is made of stainless steel and meets GMP standards. It is small in size, lightweight, operates smoothly, has low noise, produces no pollution, and is simple to operate, safe, and reliable.

[0003] In actual use, pharmaceutical pelleting machines do indeed have the disadvantage of a large footprint due to the loose structure between the cutting mechanisms. This is mainly because the design of pharmaceutical pelleting machines often needs to consider multiple functional modules, such as extrusion mechanisms and pelleting mechanisms, and the connection and coordination between these modules require a certain amount of space.

[0004] Specifically, the extrusion mechanism is responsible for extruded the mixed materials to form strips of medicinal material. This process requires sufficient space to accommodate components such as the screw and extrusion orifice. The pelleting mechanism, on the other hand, needs to cut and round the extruded medicinal material to form regular pills. In this process, the pelleting mechanism requires sufficient space to install components such as cutting blades and pellet rolling rollers, while also ensuring that these components can operate smoothly.

[0005] However, the design of the cutting mechanism often lacks sufficient compactness, resulting in excessive space being occupied by the connections between the various modules. This not only increases the overall size of the equipment but also requires a larger space for installation and use. Furthermore, the non-compact structure can also affect the stability and operating efficiency of the equipment, as the coordination and transmission between the various components may be less smooth due to space constraints.

The material enters the granulation through holes through the granulation extrusion component and achieves preliminary shaping through the granulation through holes. A tool holder is connected to the drive shaft. The side wall of the tool holder is provided with multiple cutting tools. The cutting tools are placed at an angle at the lower end of the granulation plate to cut the material at the granulation through hole.

[0008] As an optional solution of this utility model, a discharge hood is provided at the side wall opening of the barrel. The discharge hood is fixed to the barrel by bolts. The granulation through hole and the inner cavity of the barrel are connected to the discharge hood. A sealing strip is provided at the connection between the discharge hood and the barrel. As an optional solution of this utility model, the upper end of the machine cylinder is installed with an upper cylinder by fasteners, and the upper cylinder and the upper end of the machine cylinder form a material bin for storing the drug.

A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the barrel 5 and the upper cylinder 6 to ensure the drug is sealed during storage and to prevent it from getting damp or contaminated. The barrel 5 is fixed to the granulation plate 10 with bolts, ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure and providing a guarantee for long-term stable operation.

[0021] The granulation through-holes 11 are arrayed on the granulation plate 10. A bearing device is provided at the connection between the drive shaft 9 and the granulation plate 10. The bearing device is equipped with a seal to ensure the smooth rotation of the drive shaft 9 and prevent lubricating oil leakage, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0022] The tool holder 12 is fixed to the drive shaft 9 by bolts. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the tool holder 12 and the drive shaft 9 to prevent dust generated during the cutting process from entering the interior of the drive shaft 9, thus protecting the cleanliness of the drive shaft 9 and extending its service life.
