The freeze drying box 1 and the cleanable and sterilizable tank 2 are located on the same side of the isolator 3. The freeze drying box 1 is provided with a discharge door 11 on the side close to the isolator 3. The cleanable and sterilizable tank 2 is provided with a cleanable and sterilizable door 21 on the side close to the isolator 3. The suction gun 4 is connected with a discharge pipe assembly 6 extending out of the isolator 3. The end of the suction gun 4 connected with the discharge pipe assembly 6 is provided with a sealing seat 41 for sealing the cleanable and sterilizable door 21. The other end of the suction gun 4 penetrates between a pair of guide wheels 7. The pair of guide wheels 7 are connected with an adjusting mechanism 71 for adjusting the distance between the pair of guide wheels 7.

[0036] After the freeze drying is completed, the discharge door 11 is opened, the suction gun 4 moves above the freeze drying plate layer 12 to suck the bulk drug by negative pressure, preferably, moves along an S-shaped path, completes the suction of the whole freeze drying plate layer 12, and outputs the bulk drug to a bulk drug processing device through the discharge pipe assembly 6. Then the suction gun 4 exits the freeze drying box 1, the next freeze drying plate layer 12 is lowered to the discharge position, the suction gun 4 enters the freeze drying box 1 again to suck the bulk drug, and the cycle is repeated. After the bulk drug on each freeze drying plate layer 12 is completely discharged, the suction gun 4 exits the freeze drying box 1, and the discharge door 11 is closed. Then the cleanable and sterilizable door 21 is opened, the pair of guide wheels 7 provide support and guidance for the suction gun 4, the suction gun 4 gradually extends into the cleanable and sterilizable tank 2, when the sealing seat 41 needs to pass through the pair of guide wheels 7, the adjusting mechanism 71 increases the distance between the pair of guide wheels 7 so that the sealing seat 41 can pass through. After the sealing seat 41 passes through, it abuts against the cleanable and sterilizable door 21 to seal, preferably, an inflatable sealing ring 29 is arranged on the cleanable and sterilizable door 21, after the sealing seat 41 abuts against the cleanable and sterilizable door 21, the inflatable sealing ring 29 inflates to fill the gap between them, forming a good seal, ensuring that the cleanable and sterilizable tank 2 is a closed environment, and the cleanable and sterilizable tank 2 performs online cleaning and sterilization of the suction gun 4.

The pressure sensor 27 is used for monitoring the steam pressure in the tank body 22 in real time. When the steam pressure is too high, the safety valve 26 can be used for pressure relief to ensure safety. If the cleaning water level in the tank body 22 is too high, the overflow port 28 can be used for discharge to ensure that the liquid level in the tank body 22 is normal.

The suction gun (4) sucks the raw material on the freeze-dried plate (12) through negative pressure and outputs it to the outside of the isolator (3) through the discharge pipe assembly (6). S2. After the raw materials of each freeze-drying plate (12) are discharged, the suction gun drive device (5) drives the suction gun (4) to exit the freeze-drying box (1), and the discharge door (11) is closed. S3, Suction Gun (4) Online Cleaning and Sterilization: S3.1, The cleaning and sterilization door (21) is opened, and the suction gun drive device (5) drives the suction gun (4) to extend into the cleaning and sterilization tank (2). A pair of guide wheels (7) provide guidance for the suction gun (4) until the sealing seat (41) approaches the pair of guide wheels (7), at which point the suction gun (4) stops. S3.2, The adjusting mechanism (71) increases the distance between a pair of guide wheels (7) until the sealing seat (41) can pass between the pair of guide wheels (7); S3.3, The suction gun drive device (5) drives the suction gun (4) to continue to extend into the cleaning and sterilization tank (2) until the sealing seat (41) and the cleaning and sterilization door (21) are tightly sealed. S3.4 Cleaning and sterilizing tank (2) Cleaning and sterilizing suction gun (4); S4. After the online cleaning and sterilization is completed, the suction gun drive device (5) drives the suction gun (4) to exit the cleaning and sterilization tank (2), the cleaning and sterilization door (21) is closed, and after the sealing seat (41) passes between a pair of guide wheels (7), the adjustment mechanism (71) drives a pair of guide wheels (7) to reset.

10. The cleaning and sterilization method for the discharge system of a freeze dryer capable of online cleaning and sterilization according to claim 9, characterized in that: In step S3.2, the adjusting handle (74) is rotated by operating gloves (31). The adjusting handle (74) drives the adjusting screw (72) to rotate. The nut seats (73) at both ends of the adjusting screw (72) move along the adjusting screw (72) and move away from each other. The distance between a pair of guide wheels (7) increases as the two nut seats (73) move.
