DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways other than those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] The IBC turnover mobile hopper can temporarily store and move powders in a closed manner, ensuring safe storage. In order to achieve clean material transportation and automated operation, the utility model adopts an IBC turnover mobile hopper for material transportation.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the material clean transfer system for cross-workshop operations provided by the present invention includes several workshops 100, each of which is provided with a production area 110, a clean area hopper storage area 120 for cleaning, a general area hopper storage room 130 for cleaning, a cleaning front room 140, a cleaning room 150, and a clean hopper storage room 160.

[0028] The general area storage chamber 130 for hoppers to be cleaned is provided with a general area openable and closable entrance 131 for receiving hoppers returned from other workshops;

[0029] The cleaning front chamber 140 is provided with a negative pressure suction port connected to the negative pressure system. The negative pressure system creates a relatively low pressure area in the cleaning front chamber 140, so that the pollutants carried by the hopper are sucked away in the cleaning front chamber, preventing the pollutants from spreading to other areas of the workshop.

[0030] The pre-cleaning chamber 140 is connected to the clean area hopper storage area 120 through the first openable and closable entrance 141, is connected to the general area hopper storage chamber 130 through the second openable and closable entrance 142, and is connected to the cleaning chamber 150 through the openable and closable cleaning entrance 143; during operation, only one of the first openable and closable entrance 141, the second openable and closable entrance 142, and the openable and closable cleaning entrance 143 can be opened at the same time.

[0031] The cleaning chamber 150 is used to clean the hopper, and the cleaning chamber 150 is connected to the clean hopper storage chamber 160 through an openable and closable cleaning outlet 151;

[0032] The clean hopper storage chamber 160 is provided with an openable and closable storage chamber outlet 161 . When the production area 110 needs to use an empty clean hopper, the hopper is transported to the production area 110 through this outlet via an AGV transfer vehicle.

[0033] Each workshop 100 is also provided with a hopper 200 for storing materials and an AGV transfer vehicle 300 for transferring the hopper.

[0034] The AGV transfer vehicle is used to transport the hopper 200 between the workshops 100, and between the production area 110, the clean area hopper storage area 120, the general area hopper storage room 130, and the clean hopper storage room 160. For example, the AGV transfer vehicle transfers the hopper to the conveying mechanism, which then sends the hopper to the cleaning antechamber. The AGV transfer vehicle then transfers the cleaned hopper to the clean hopper storage room, or the AGV transfer vehicle transfers the hopper from the clean hopper storage room to the production area.

[0035] A cleaning device 152 for cleaning the hopper is provided in the cleaning chamber 150 , wherein the cleaning device can be any conventional device in the prior art.

[0036] The cleaning front chamber 140 is provided with a first conveying mechanism 410 connected to the inlet of the cleaning equipment 152, and the outlet of the cleaning equipment is connected to a second conveying mechanism 420 for sending the hopper away, which is respectively used to send the hopper to the cleaning equipment and to transport the cleaned hopper to the unloading position.

[0037] Furthermore, the general area hopper storage chamber 130 to be cleaned is provided with a third conveying mechanism 430 connected to the first conveying mechanism 410. If necessary, the third conveying mechanism 430 can also be set on a turntable, and the position of the third conveying mechanism 430 can be adjusted by the turntable to connect it with the first conveying mechanism 410.

[0038] In actual use, materials processed in each workshop are directly loaded into hoppers. Some of the materials in the hoppers are used in the original workshop, while some are transferred to other workshops by AGV transfer vehicles. The materials are then introduced from the hoppers to the corresponding processing equipment, eliminating the traditional bagging and unloading process of materials. To maintain the number of hoppers in each workshop, hoppers that have been transferred to other workshops need to be returned to the original workshop after use. Moreover, whether the hopper is used in the original workshop or crosses workshops, after unloading the materials, the hopper needs to be thoroughly cleaned before it can be used again. Therefore, each workshop is equipped with hopper cleaning equipment to clean the hoppers.

[0039] Furthermore, the pharmaceutical production process requires a high level of environmental cleanliness. The cleanliness of the hoppers returned from other workshops is already affected, and their cleanliness level is different from that of the hoppers used in the original workshop. If the hoppers returned from other workshops are stored in the clean area of the original workshop, they will cause contamination to the original workshop.

[0040] Therefore, the present invention sets up a general area storage room for hoppers to be cleaned in each workshop, and the hoppers returned from other workshops are transferred to the general area storage room for hoppers to be cleaned by the AGV transfer vehicle 300.

[0041] The cleaning method for the hoppers in the general area's hopper storage chamber is as follows: the hoppers are transferred by the AGV transfer vehicle 300 to the third conveyor mechanism 430. After orientation adjustment, they are transported to the first conveyor mechanism 410 in the pre-cleaning chamber for initial cleaning. After the specified cleaning time, they are transported to the cleaning equipment in the cleaning chamber for cleaning and drying. After the cleaning task is completed, the cleaned hoppers are transported to the unloading position via the second conveyor mechanism 420 and then transferred by the AGV transfer vehicle to the clean hopper storage chamber 160 for temporary storage.

[0042] The cleaning method of the hoppers in the hopper storage area 120 to be cleaned in the clean area is as follows:

[0043] The hopper is transferred by the AGV transfer vehicle to the first conveying mechanism 410 in the cleaning front chamber 140 for preliminary cleaning. After the specified cleaning time, it is transported to the cleaning equipment for cleaning and drying. After the cleaning task is completed, the cleaned hopper is transported to the unloading position via the second conveying mechanism 420 and transferred to the clean hopper storage room by AGV for temporary storage.

[0044] Typically, the AGV transfer vehicle 300 is an AGV forklift.
