Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a cell filling device, and in particular to an automatic filling production line for cell cryopreservation bags. Background Art
[0002] Cell therapy is a brand-new treatment method that has emerged in recent years. Through bioengineering methods or after in vitro amplification, special culture and other treatments, specific immunocytes with specific functions are generated. After being infused into the body, the purpose of treating diseases can be achieved.
[0003] Cells are usually filled into cell cryopreservation bags for storage and transportation, and then infused into patients after thawing. At present, cells are usually filled into cell cryopreservation bags manually, that is, manually using a pipette to inject cells into the cell cryopreservation bag. The filling efficiency and filling accuracy are low, there are risks of contamination and cross-contamination during the filling process, and cytotoxic / sensitizing products will cause harm to operators.
[0004] Now there are also automatic filling devices for cell cryopreservation bags. For example, CN114467926A discloses a fully automatic sterile preparation cell dispensing workstation, including: a tabletop on which a sealed isolation chamber is provided; a cryopreservation bag placement mechanism including an automatic turntable on which several cryopreservation bags are placed; a filling and sealing mechanism including a fixed seat, at the top of the fixed seat there is a fixed frame, at the bottom of the fixed frame there is an injection needle for injecting liquid into the cryopreservation bag, and on the top surface of the fixed seat there is a sealer for sealing the cryopreservation bag after injection; a transmission mechanism including a conveyor belt for transporting the cryopreservation bags after filling and sealing; a robotic arm is in contact with the cryopreservation bag placement mechanism, the filling and sealing mechanism, and the transmission mechanism respectively; a control system including a control panel and control buttons. This cell cryopreservation bag filling device has the following defects: (1) There is no leak detection mechanism in front of the filling and sealing mechanism, but after filling, a CCD detection bracket is used to detect the cryopreservation bags after filling and sealing on the conveyor belt to check whether there is liquid leakage. Detecting for leaks after filling will cause waste and contamination of cell liquid medicine; (2) After the liquid filling is completed, the cryopreservation bag is sealed by a sealer. The cell liquid medicine is filled into the bag body of the cell cryopreservation bag through a connecting hose. After filling, some cell liquid medicine will remain on the inner wall of the connecting hose. Direct sealing will not only cause loss and waste of cell liquid medicine, but also lead to inconsistent filling volumes of the filled cell liquid medicine, affecting the filling volume accuracy; (3) The method of driving the exhaust plate to move relative by an exhaust cylinder is used to squeeze out the air in the cryopreservation bag. The exhaust effect is poor, and squeezing is likely to cause damage to the cell cryopreservation bag; (4) A robotic arm is used to pick up the cryopreservation bag, resulting in poor production continuity and low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention is to solve the above problems existing in the prior art cell cryopreservation bag filling equipment, and provides an automatic filling production line for cell cryopreservation bags, which can automatically complete multiple operations such as leak detection and filling of cell cryopreservation bags. The filling process is fast and safe, with high filling volume accuracy and production efficiency, which can ensure the filling quality and avoid the risks of contamination and cross-contamination during the filling process, and the harm of cytotoxic / sensitizing products to operators.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: An automatic filling production line for cell cryopreservation bags of the present invention includes:
[0007] A bag placement mold for placing cell cryopreservation bags;
[0008] A transmission mechanism for driving the bag placement mold to move;
[0009] An air inflation leak detection mechanism for inflating the cell cryopreservation bag to detect whether the cell cryopreservation bag is broken;
[0010] A filling mechanism for quantitatively filling cell liquid medicine into the cell cryopreservation bag;
[0011] A sealing mechanism for sealing the connecting hose on the cell cryopreservation bag;
[0012] A cutting mechanism for cutting the connecting hose on the sealed cell cryopreservation bag;
[0013] The inflation leak detection mechanism, filling mechanism, sealing mechanism, and cutting mechanism are sequentially arranged on one side of the transmission mechanism. The bag placing mold is arranged on the transmission mechanism. The bag placing mold has an initial position and a terminal position. Driven by the transmission mechanism, the bag placing mold can move forward from the initial position to the terminal position in a way of intermittent movement by a fixed distance, and reset to the initial position after reaching the terminal position. In the present invention, the bag placing mold moves between different mechanisms through the transmission mechanism, so as to realize the continuous and rapid movement of the cell cryopreservation bag between different mechanisms, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency. The inflation leak detection mechanism in the present invention is used to inflate the cell cryopreservation bag to detect whether the cell cryopreservation bag is broken. By blowing a certain amount of gas (clean compressed air, nitrogen, etc.) into the cell cryopreservation bag and standing for a period of time, it is detected whether the cell cryopreservation bag is broken by the change of the air pressure in the bag. If there is a broken bag, this cell cryopreservation bag can be avoided at the subsequent workstations, which can avoid the waste and loss of cell medicine liquid caused by perfusion. The filling mechanism, sealing mechanism, and cutting mechanism are all prior arts, so they will not be elaborated here. When the frontmost cell cryopreservation bag on the bag placing mold is located at the first mechanism, the bag placing mold is in the initial position. When the rearmost cell cryopreservation bag on the bag placing mold is located at the last mechanism, the bag placing mold is in the terminal position. The initial position and the terminal position are not fixed and can be adjusted according to the actual number of mechanisms. The operation of each mechanism in the present invention can be controlled by an operating system. Controlling each mechanism by the operating system is a conventional technical means in the art, so it will not be elaborated here. The present invention can automatically complete multiple operations such as leak detection and filling of the cell cryopreservation bag. The filling process is fast and safe, with high filling volume accuracy and production efficiency, which can ensure the filling quality and avoid the risks of pollution and cross-contamination during the filling process, and the harm of cytotoxic / sensitizing products to operators.
[0014] Preferably, the bag placing die includes a bag placing plate and fixed side plates. The bag placing plate is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating a cell cryopreservation bag. At a position above the receiving groove on the bag placing plate, there is a sealing opening. The fixed side plates are fixed outside the sealing opening. At the lower part of the fixed side plates, there are limiting notches. The limiting notches and the upper part of the receiving groove cooperate to form a blocking groove. On the fixed side plates, there are cutting openings. The lower edge of the cutting openings is higher than the lower edge of the sealing opening, and the cutting openings communicate with the sealing opening. On the opposite sides of the bag placing plate and the fixed side plates, there are notches for the connecting hose to pass through, and the opposite notches cooperate to form a clamping opening. The sealing mechanism generally includes a sealing block and a cylinder. The sealing block is fixed at the end of the piston rod of the cylinder. When the piston rod of the cylinder extends, the sealing block passes through the bag placing plate through the sealing opening, so that the sealing block presses the connecting hose between the sealing block and the fixed side plate for sealing. A heating tube or an ultrasonic device for heating is installed in the sealing block to perform sealing by means of heat sealing or ultrasonic waves, etc.; the cutting mechanism generally includes a cutter and a cylinder. The cutter is fixed at the end of the piston rod of the cylinder. When the piston rod of the cylinder extends, the cutter extends into the cutting opening through the sealing opening to cut off the connecting hose; the blocking groove serves to block the cell cryopreservation bag, which can prevent the connecting hose from pulling up the cell cryopreservation bag during sealing or cutting, thus affecting sealing or cutting.
[0015] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a synchronous belt, a mounting cross plate and a moving seat. The synchronous belt is arranged below the mounting cross plate. The moving seat is rollingly arranged on the mounting cross plate. The bag placing die is arranged on the moving seat. The mounting cross plate is provided with a guiding sliding hole.

The free end of the connecting hose in the cell freezing bag usually has a connector (Luer connector), and a protective cap (also known as a "screw cap", "nut cap", "threaded cap", "isolation cap", etc.) is threadedly connected to the connector to prevent contamination (see CN214482994U). The cell freezing bag needs to be uncapped before filling, so the present invention is designed to add a capping mechanism, which is used to unscrew the protective cap on the cell freezing bag and move it to a specified position, such as a waste collection box. Each time a protective cap is unscrewed, the conveying mechanism drives the bag placement mold to move forward the distance of a cell freezing bag so as to remove the protective cap on the next cell freezing bag, and at the same time, the cell freezing bag whose protective cap has been unscrewed previously enters the subsequent workstation; when uncapping, the rotary lifting mechanism drives the rotary lifting arm to descend, and after the clamping claw descends to the position of the protective cap, the clamping claw opening and closing drive mechanism drives the clamping claw to close to clamp the protective cap The rotary lifting mechanism drives the clamping jaw rotating mechanism to rotate through the clamping jaw rotating transmission mechanism so as to rotate the clamping jaw. During the rotation of the clamping jaw, the rotary lifting mechanism drives the rotary lifting arm to rise at the same time. After the protective cover is unscrewed from the cell freezing bag, it continues to rise to the specified height, and the rotary lifting mechanism stops driving the clamping jaw rotating mechanism to rotate through the clamping jaw rotating transmission mechanism (that is, the clamping jaw stops rotating). The rotary lifting mechanism drives the rotary lifting arm to rotate, so that the clamping jaw moves to the specified position (such as a waste collection box, etc.), and the rotary lifting mechanism drives the rotary lifting arm to descend to the specified height. The clamping jaw opening and closing driving mechanism drives the clamping jaw to open to release the protective cover, so that the protective cover falls to the desired position, and the rotary lifting mechanism drives the rotary lifting arm to rise to the specified height.

[0054] The operating principle of the present invention is as follows: After the cover removal mechanism unscrews the protective cover on the cell cryopreservation bag and moves it to the waste collection box 98, it resets. The transmission mechanism advances the cell cryopreservation bag by the distance of one cell cryopreservation bag, and sends the cell cryopreservation bag with the protective cover removed to the inflation leak detection mechanism; the inflation leak detection mechanism inflates the cell cryopreservation bag to detect whether the cell cryopreservation bag is broken. If there is a leak or breakage, the subsequent station mechanisms will avoid this cell cryopreservation bag. If there is no breakage, after it is sent to the filling station, the filling station quantitatively fills the cell medicine solution into the cell cryopreservation bag; after filling, the residual liquid blowing mechanism blows the residual liquid on the inner wall of the connecting hose into the cell cryopreservation bag, and the vacuum pumping mechanism pumps out the excess gas in the cell cryopreservation bag; after the sealing mechanism seals the connecting hose, the cutting mechanism cuts off the connecting hose, and the cell cryopreservation bag slides into the middle collection box 100 along the blanking chute 99 for collection; after the last cell cryopreservation bag on the bag placement mold falls into the collection box, the transmission mechanism sends the bag placement mold back to the initial position.
