Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of disinfection and sterilization equipment technology, and in particular to a sterilization tray. Background Technology

[0002] Sterilization trays are specialized containers used in the pharmaceutical and biological products industries for the sterilization of plastic bottles. After filling and sealing, plastic bottles must undergo rigorous sterilization. Typically, plastic bottles are presented in rows of two or more connected bottles.

[0003] Traditional sterilization trays often employ a grid design (i.e., an array of through-holes on the tray) to allow sterilization media (such as saturated steam or hot air) to penetrate the tray and evenly contact the surface of each plastic bottle. However, due to the structural characteristics of plastic bottles, the bottoms of the bottles often have burrs. Therefore, during the bottle loading process, when the plastic bottles are pushed into the sterilization tray in one go, the grid design comes into contact with the burrs on the bottom of the bottles, increasing the resistance at the bottom of the bottles. This can cause the plastic bottles to tip over during the pushing process, affecting the efficiency of bottle loading. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a sterilization tray. By providing support rods along the pushing direction on the tray body, and forming hollow grooves between the support rods, it can support the smooth pushing of plastic bottles, improving feeding efficiency. The technical solution is as follows: A sterilization tray includes a tray body and several partitions, wherein the tray body has a receiving space; the partitions are arranged side by side in the receiving space along the pushing direction. An accommodating area is formed between adjacent partitions for placing plastic bottles; The accommodating area is provided with a number of hollowed-out grooves, which are arranged in the same direction as the partition. Several support rods are provided between the partitions, and the hollow grooves are formed between the support rods.

[0005] Preferably, the two ends of the support rod are connected to the disc body.

[0006] Preferably, the disc body includes a support frame and baffles located on both sides of the support frame, the baffles being detachably connected to the support frame.

[0010] More preferably, the mounting bracket is provided with a retaining ring; the retaining ring is used to cooperate with an external gripping mechanism to grip the baffle.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application optimizes the structure of the sterilization tray. By setting support rods to form hollow grooves on the tray body, the support rods can support the plastic bottles to be smoothly pushed into the sterilization tray, avoiding the problem of the plastic bottles tipping over due to obstruction. This ensures normal feeding of plastic bottles and improves feeding efficiency. At the same time, the sterilization medium can circulate within the sterilization tray through the hollow grooves between the support rods, improving the sterilization effect on the plastic bottles.

[0014] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0015] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 To further elaborate on this application: Combination Figure 1 A sterilization tray includes a tray body 1 and several partitions 2. The tray body 1 has a receiving space 100 for accommodating the partitions 2 and plastic bottles 00. The partitions 2 are arranged side by side in the receiving space 100; that is, the partitions 2 are arranged along the pushing direction and are parallel to each other in the receiving space 100. The partitions 2 can be fixed to the tray body 1 by welding, snap-fitting, or plugging.

[0016] An accommodating area 200 is formed between adjacent partitions 2 for placing the plastic bottle 00; wherein the plastic bottle 00 is pushed into the accommodating area 200 in a pushing direction. In this embodiment, the plastic bottle is described using a plastic ampoule as an example; of course, the plastic bottle can also be other types of plastic bottles. The spacing between adjacent partitions 2 can be adjusted according to the type of plastic bottle.

[0017] The receiving area 200 is provided with a plurality of hollowed-out grooves 300, which are arranged in the same direction as the partitions 2. A plurality of support rods 3 are provided between the partitions 2, forming the hollowed-out grooves 300. In this way, when the plastic bottle 00 is pushed into the receiving area 200 along the pushing direction, it will not be obstructed or resisted. The plastic bottle 00 can smoothly move along the extension direction of the support rods 3 or the hollowed-out grooves 300 onto the sterilization tray, thereby preventing the plastic bottle from tipping over due to resistance during the pushing process and improving the overall feeding efficiency.

[0018] The support rod 3 is connected to the disc body 1 at both ends. The support rod 3 can be installed on the disc body 1 in the pushing direction by means of welding, plugging, or snapping.

[0019] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the tray 1 includes a support frame 11 and baffles 12. The baffles 12 are respectively disposed at both ends of the support frame 11. The baffles 12 are detachably connected to the support frame 11 to push the plastic bottles into the receiving area 200. The baffles 12 include a mounting frame 121 detachably connected to the support frame 11, and a blocking plate 122 disposed on the mounting frame 121. The blocking plate 122 is a comb-shaped plate. Specifically, the mounting frame 121 is plugged into and detached from the support frame 11 for quick disassembly. The support frame 11 has a concave cross-section and is formed by connecting square tubes. During loading, the baffles 12 are first removed, and then the arranged plastic bottles are pushed into the receiving area 200 of the sterilization tray in one push direction.

[0020] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 121 is provided with a retaining ring for use with the gripping mechanism to grip the baffle 12. Compared with the prior art, which "opens a slot on the mounting frame for gripping", this application provides a retaining ring on the mounting frame 121 for gripping; thus, it will not cause water accumulation inside the mounting frame 121.

[0021] To ensure the stacking of sterilization trays, a positioning component 4 is also included. The positioning component 4 is connected to the tray body 1 and is used to position adjacent tray bodies 1 when at least two tray bodies 1 are stacked. The positioning components 4 are arranged diagonally, so that only two positioning components 4 are needed to achieve positioning and limiting between sterilization trays.

[0022] The positioning component 4 includes a positioning shaft connecting to the support frame 11, and a positioning part and a limiting part respectively disposed at both ends of the positioning shaft, wherein the positioning part and the limiting part are adapted to each other. The positioning part is a conical protrusion, and the limiting part is a limiting groove; thus, when sterilization trays are stacked, the positioning part of the positioning component 4 on the bottom sterilization tray precisely engages with the limiting part of the positioning component 4 on the top sterilization tray.

[0023] In some embodiments, the disc body 1 is further provided with a support plate connected to the support frame 11, the support plate being used to support the support rod 3; the support plate is located at the bottom of the support rod 3, and the support plates are arranged alternately to prevent the support rod 3 from deforming and being damaged due to the weight of the plastic bottle 00.

[0024] In some embodiments, the partition 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes, which connect two adjacent receiving areas 200. The height of the partition 2 is lower than the height of the plastic bottle 00 to avoid interference between the bottle opening and the through holes. During sterilization, the sterilization medium can circulate through the through holes, flowing between the plastic bottles 00 on both sides of the partition 2, further improving the sterilization effect on the plastic bottles 00.
