Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tablet press technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly rotary tablet press. Background Technology

[0002] A rotary tablet press is a pharmaceutical equipment that uses a rotating turntable to drive a die through filling, tableting, and tableting processes to compress granular materials into round or irregularly shaped tablets.

[0003] However, traditional rotary tablet presses typically only have a single type of press head. When different tableting requirements need to be met, it is not easy to change the press head, which greatly limits the flexibility and applicability of the equipment. Secondly, after the tableting operation is completed, the tablets will fly out and scatter on the worktable as the rotary table continues to rotate. At the same time, there will be residual flying powder on the lower mold. This flying powder will not only scatter in the work area, causing pollution to the production environment, but also lead to material waste and increase production costs.

[0004] Prior art 1 (Chinese patent application number CN202421240753.5, application date 2024-06-03) discloses an environmentally friendly rotary tablet press. A motor is mounted above the base, and the motor is sequentially connected to a first turntable, a vertical rod, and a second turntable. Both turntables have multiple through holes evenly distributed along their circumference. A lower mold rod is inserted into each through hole on turntable one, and an upper mold rod is inserted into each through hole on turntable two. The lower mold rods and upper mold rods are aligned vertically. A limiting rail is located outside the motor above the base, cooperating with the lower mold rod. An L-shaped plate is located on the rear side of the base, with an inverted limiting rail below the horizontal side of the L-shaped plate, cooperating with the upper mold rod. An L-shaped baffle is located above the base, cooperating with the limiting rail below to prevent material from sliding out.

[0005] Prior art 2 (Chinese patent application number CN202322214201.9, application date 2023-08-17) discloses an environmentally friendly rotary tablet press. A feeding cylinder is installed at the top end of the rotary tablet press body, and a feeding pipe is connected to the bottom of the feeding cylinder. A feeding hopper is installed on the outer side of the rotary tablet press body. After the tablets are compressed, they are gradually pushed out of the die hole by the upper punch and blocked by the retaining arc plate. Under the influence of the rotating turntable, they enter between the retaining arc plate and the limiting arc plate, thus preventing the tablets from sliding out of the space between the retaining arc plate and the limiting arc plate. This ensures that the tablets can enter the feeding hood under the rotation of the turntable, preventing the tablets from sliding out of the turntable. This effectively solves the problem of insufficient tablet protection measures causing tablets to slide out of the tablet press table during the use of a rotary tablet press. Utility Model Content

A pair of fixed columns are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate. The fixed columns pass through the fixed seats, and a fixed cap is threaded to the bottom of the fixed columns.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the collecting component includes an inverted L-shaped baffle disposed on the workbench, a guide plate disposed on one side of the inverted L-shaped baffle, one end of the guide plate being in contact with the outer wall of the rotary table, and a collection box disposed on one side of the workbench, the collection box being located directly below the tail of the guide plate.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a suction nozzle is provided on the worktable on one side of the rotating table, a storage box is provided at the bottom of the worktable, a filter screen is provided in the middle of the storage box, a fly powder recovery box is movably arranged in the storage box at the bottom of the filter screen, a pair of guide rails are provided at the bottom of the storage box, the fly powder recovery box is slidably arranged on the guide rails, a blower is provided at the top of the storage box, the suction nozzle is connected to the blower through a pipe, and the blower is connected to the storage box through a pipe.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: This invention features a rotating assembly where a motor drives a first sprocket, which in turn transmits power to a second sprocket via a transmission chain. This, in turn, drives the rotating shaft and the rotary table to rotate. The transmission method is simple in structure and provides stable power transmission, offering a precise basis for subsequent quantitative feeding and tableting operations. At the same time, the protective plate effectively prevents external dust and debris from entering the mounting slot, protecting the internal components and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0015] This invention utilizes a tableting assembly with an oil reservoir, piston rod, piston one, and spring. During tableting, the lower mold moves downward under pressure, compressing the spring. Simultaneously, the piston rod drives piston one to slide within the oil reservoir. Hydraulic oil flows repeatedly between the two chambers through a small hole on piston one, generating a damping force. This damping force effectively slows down the spring's rebound speed, greatly ensuring the stability of the lower mold during tableting and resetting. This avoids problems such as material slippage, uneven tableting, or tablets flying away after forming due to lower mold instability, ensuring tableting quality and improving product qualification rate. Furthermore, the upper mold rod is fixed to the mounting plate using a fixed seat, fixed column, and fixed cap, resulting in a stable structure that is easy to disassemble and replace. When it is necessary to replace the upper mold rod with a different specification, the operator only needs to loosen the fixed cap to complete the operation, greatly improving the flexibility and applicability of the equipment.

[0016] This invention features a collection component. The inverted L-shaped baffle effectively prevents tablets from flying out during rotation and guides them smoothly into the guide plate, avoiding tablet scattering that causes waste and environmental pollution. Secondly, one end of the guide plate is in contact with the outer wall of the rotating table, ensuring that tablets can accurately slide into the collection box, achieving automatic tablet collection and improving production efficiency. In addition, the suction nozzle, in conjunction with the blower, can promptly remove residual powder from the lower mold after tableting. After impurities are filtered through the filter screen, the powder falls into the powder recovery box. Operators can periodically remove the powder recovery box to refill the box, achieving powder recycling and reuse, reducing production costs, and minimizing powder pollution to the production environment.

The guide plate 42 guides the tablets that have been compressed to the collection box 43. The collection box 43 is set on one side of the workbench 1. The collection box 43 is located directly below the tail of the guide plate 42 and collects the tablets that have been compressed.

[0025] A suction nozzle 44 is installed on the workbench 1 on one side of the rotary table 28. The suction nozzle 44 sucks up the flying powder generated during the tableting process. A storage box 45 is installed at the bottom of the workbench 1. A filter screen 46 is installed in the middle of the storage box 45. The filter screen 46 filters out impurities in the flying powder. A flying powder recovery box 47 is movably installed in the storage box 45 at the bottom of the filter screen 46.

A pair of guide rails 48 are installed at the bottom of the storage box 45. The flying powder recovery box 47 is slidably installed on the guide rails 48. The guide rails 48 provide guidance for the flying powder recovery box 47, making it easy to take out and put in. A blower 49 is installed at the top of the storage box 45. The suction nozzle 44 is connected to the blower 49 through a pipe. The blower 49 is connected to the storage box 45 through a pipe. The blower 49 provides suction so that the suction nozzle 44 can suck up the flying powder.

[0026] On the workbench 1, away from the mounting frame 37, there is a mounting frame 5. The mounting frame 5 provides a mounting base for the feed hopper 6 and the quantitative feeder 7. The feed hopper 6 is installed on the mounting frame 5. The feed hopper 6 is used to add the material to be compressed. The bottom of the mounting frame 5 is equipped with a quantitative feeder 7 corresponding to the lower mold 32. The feed hopper 6 is connected to the quantitative feeder 7. The quantitative feeder 7 quantitatively conveys the material in the feed hopper 6 to the lower mold 32.

[0027] In operation, the operator first adds the material through the feed hopper 6. The quantitative feeder 7 then quantitatively delivers the material to the lower mold 32 on the rotary table 28. Next, the rotating assembly 2 is started, and the motor 22 drives the first sprocket 23 to rotate. The first sprocket 23 transmits power to the second sprocket 25 through the transmission chain 26, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 24 and the rotary table 28 to rotate. The rotary table 28 sequentially rotates the lower mold 32 without material to directly below the quantitative feeder 7, and simultaneously rotates the lower mold 32 containing material to directly below the upper mold rod 310 in the tableting assembly 3. At this time, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 38 extends, driving the mounting plate 39 and the upper mold rod 310 to press down. 10 works in conjunction with the lower mold 32 to complete the tableting operation. During the tableting process, the lower mold 32 moves downward under pressure, the spring 36 is compressed, and the piston rod 34 drives the piston 35 to slide inside the oil reservoir 33. The piston 35 divides the space inside the oil reservoir 33 into two chambers. The hydraulic oil in the oil reservoir 33 flows repeatedly between the two chambers through different small holes on the piston 35. The friction between the hole wall and the hydraulic oil, as well as the internal friction between the hydraulic oil molecules, will hinder the flow of hydraulic oil, generate damping force, slow down the rebound speed of the spring 36, ensure the stability of the lower mold 32, ensure the stability of the material during tableting and when the lower mold 32 is reset, and prevent the tablets after forming from being ejected.

[0028] After tableting is completed, the rotary table 28 continues to rotate. Guided by the inverted L-shaped baffle 41, the tablets enter the guide plate 42 and then slide into the collection box 43. The remaining lower molds 32 rotate sequentially to directly below the upper mold rod 310, repeating the above operation. When the lower mold 32 that has completed tableting rotates to the suction nozzle 44 position, the blower 49 starts to provide suction for the suction nozzle 44. The suction nozzle 44 sucks up the residual fly powder on the lower mold 32. The fly powder enters the storage box 45 through a pipe, and after being filtered by the filter screen 46, it falls into the fly powder recovery box 47. The fly powder recovery box 47 can be removed periodically to refill the fly powder, realizing continuous tableting, collection, and fly powder recycling. When the operator needs to replace the upper mold rod 310, the entire device can be closed first. Hold the upper mold rod 310 with one hand and loosen and remove the fixing caps 313 on both sides with the other hand to remove the upper mold rod 310. Align the fixing seats 311 on both sides of the new upper mold rod 310 with the fixing posts 312, so that the fixing posts 312 pass through the round holes on the fixing seats 311. Then tighten the fixing caps 313 to complete the installation.
