[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extrusion technology for the production of doxorubicin hydrochloride liposomes, and in particular to an extrusion device for doxorubicin hydrochloride liposomes. Background Technology

[0002] Doxorubicin hydrochloride liposomes often refer to doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injection. Its active ingredient is doxorubicin hydrochloride, an anthracycline cytotoxic antibiotic extracted from the culture medium of *Streptomyces porphyria* var. *panthenium*. It is mainly used for patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma who have extensive skin, mucous membrane, and visceral diseases. Doxorubicin hydrochloride liposomes are one of the important drugs in the treatment of this type of disease and are commonly used in clinical medicine. The production of doxorubicin hydrochloride liposomes requires multiple processing steps, including extrusion processing, which requires the use of extrusion equipment.

[0003] In the current technology, a filter membrane is required for the final extrusion process. However, filter membrane clogging is a common problem in the extrusion process, requiring frequent shutdowns for replacement, which affects continuous production. The filter membrane replacement process in the existing equipment is cumbersome, requiring the tightening of multiple bolts, and the sealing ring is prone to misalignment, leading to leakage. This is especially inconvenient in aseptic operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution:

[0005] An extrusion device for doxorubicin hydrochloride liposomes includes a barrel body, a barrel cover at the top of the barrel body, a feed inlet at the top of the barrel cover, a sealing ring at the connection between the barrel cover and the barrel body, a conical cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel body, an extrusion cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical cylinder, a connecting ring inside the extrusion cylinder, and a quick-release assembly for quick replacement and fixation on the outside of the connecting ring.

[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a plurality of first flow pipes are uniformly arranged inside the barrel, a first inlet is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the barrel, a first outlet is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the barrel, and a first temperature sensor is arranged on the outer side of the barrel.

[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a chamber is opened on the inner side of the conical cylinder, a plurality of second flow pipes are evenly arranged inside the conical cylinder, a second inlet is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the conical cylinder, a second outlet is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the conical cylinder, and a second temperature sensor is arranged on the outer side of the conical cylinder.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] When the filter membrane needs to be replaced, the opening can be exposed by rotating the rotating block, making it easy to slide and install or remove the fixing ring and filter membrane.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following provides a more detailed description of the utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5 An extrusion device for doxorubicin hydrochloride liposomes includes a barrel body 1, a barrel cover 2 at the top of the barrel body 1, a feed inlet 5 at the top of the barrel cover 2, a sealing ring 6 on the outside of the connection between the barrel cover 2 and the barrel body 1, a conical cylinder 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel body 1, an extrusion cylinder 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical cylinder 9, a connecting ring 22 inside the extrusion cylinder 10, and a quick-release assembly for quick replacement and fixation on the outside of the connecting ring 22.

[0022] Specifically, after the barrel body 1 and the barrel cover 2 are connected by a snap-fit, the sealing performance is enhanced by the sealing ring 6 set at the connection. The solution is added into the barrel body 1 through the feed port 5. After the solution undergoes a filtration in the barrel body 1, it flows into the conical cylinder 9 and the extrusion cylinder 10 for final extrusion. The quick-release assembly can speed up the replacement process and reduce the number of replacement steps.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The quick-release assembly includes an opening 23 on one side of the connecting ring 22. One end of the opening 23 is rotatably connected to a rotating block 30. A locking block 31 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating block 30. The other end of the rotating block 30 is fixedly connected to a second fixing block 32. A slot 24 adapted to the locking block 31 is provided on the outer side of the opening 23. The other end of the opening 23 is fixedly connected to a first fixing block 25. A fixing rod 26 is rotatably connected inside the first fixing block 25. The other end of the fixing rod 26 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 27. The rotating shaft 27 is rotatably connected inside the cam 28. A cam handle 29 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cam 28. A fixing ring 20 is slidably connected inside the opening 23. A filter membrane 21 is provided inside the fixing ring 20.

[0024] Specifically, the rotating block 30 is an arc-shaped block that fits the opening 23. By rotating the rotating block 30, the locking block 31 on the inner side of the rotating block 30 engages with the locking groove 24 on the outer side of the opening 23 to limit and fix the fixing ring 20. The engagement of the locking block 31 and the locking groove 24 also improves the sealing performance and prevents leakage. It also aligns the second fixing block 32 at one end of the rotating block 30 with the first fixing block 25 at one end of the opening 23. Then, rotating the cam handle 29 drives the cam 28, the rotating shaft 27, and the fixing rod 26 together. As the fixed rod 26 is engaged in the first fixed block 25 and the second fixed block 32, the cam 28 continues to rotate. When the cam 28 rotates to a certain angle, its shape will press against the second fixed block 32, so that the second fixed block 32 and the first fixed block 25 are firmly squeezed and fixed by the fixed rod 26, thereby limiting and fixing the filter membrane 21 in the fixed ring 20 in the opening 23. The solution is squeezed out through the microporous filter membrane 21. This structure is simple in design, easy to operate, and takes less time, which can effectively improve production efficiency.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5 A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the bucket lid 2. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame 4. A rotating rod 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3. A filter screen 16 is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the rotating rod 15. A scraper 33 is arranged on the outside of the filter screen 16.

[0026] Specifically, the motor 3 drives the rotating rod 15 at its output end to rotate. When the rotating rod 15 rotates, it drives the filter screen 16 symmetrically arranged on its outer side to rotate together to collect larger impurities in the solution, so that the filtered solution continues to flow downwards for easy extrusion. At the same time, when the filter screen 16 rotates, the scraper 33 on its outer side will also rotate and move along with it and continuously scrape the inner wall of the barrel 1 to prevent impurities in the solution from sticking to the inner wall.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-5 A plurality of first flow pipes 17 are evenly arranged inside the barrel body 1. A first inlet 7 is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the barrel body 1, and a first outlet 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the barrel body 1. A first temperature sensor 14 is arranged on the outer side of the barrel body 1.

[0028] Specifically, a constant temperature medium is injected through the first inlet 7 and flows into the first flow pipe 17, and flows out through the first outlet 8. The medium is recycled and reused through an externally installed recycling device. The temperature of the medium in the first flow pipe 17 can be detected by the first temperature sensor 14, so that the temperature of the solution is maintained within a certain range when it is filtered for the first time in the tank 1.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5A chamber 19 is provided on the inner side of the conical cylinder 9. Several second flow pipes 18 are evenly arranged inside the conical cylinder 9. A second inlet 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of the conical cylinder 9. A second outlet 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the conical cylinder 9. A second temperature sensor 13 is provided on the outer side of the conical cylinder 9.

[0030] Specifically, the chambers 19 inside the conical cylinder 9 are also conical, and the inner walls of the conical cylinder 9 are smooth. The space of the chambers 19 gradually narrows, creating a pre-pressure effect on the solution to be extruded. This can break up large liposome aggregates, allowing the solution to flow more evenly to the filter membrane 21, thereby reducing the pressure on the filter membrane 21, extending the life of the filter membrane 21, and improving the success rate of single extrusion. Similarly, a constant temperature medium is injected through the second inlet 12 and flows into the second flow tube 18, and flows out through the second outlet 11. The medium is recycled and reused through an externally installed recovery device. The temperature of the medium in the second flow tube 18 can be detected by the second temperature sensor 13, so that the temperature of the solution is maintained in a lower range than that in the first flow tube 17 when it is extruded in the conical cylinder 9, maximizing the protection of drug activity and improving extrusion efficiency and quality.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
