[0048] Example

[0049] like Figure 1-9 As shown in the figure, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an axial rotation locking aseptic connection device includes a connecting component 1, an axial rotation buckle 2, a sterile barrier membrane 3 and a sealing ring 4.

[0050] The connecting member 1 includes a main body 11, a tube head 12, a connecting portion 14 and a limiting portion 13. The tube head 12 is arranged on the main body 11. The sealing ring 4 is fixed in the main body 11 and is connected to the tube head 12. The end of the sealing ring 4 facing away from the tube head 12 protrudes from the side of the main body 11 facing away from the tube head 12; the sterile barrier membrane 3 is fixed on the connecting member 1 and fits with the side of the sealing ring 4 facing away from the tube head 12. The limiting portion 13 is connected to the main body 11 through the connecting portion 14; the axial rotating buckle 2 and the limiting portion 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the axis of the tube head 12; the axial rotating buckle 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 11, and the rotation axis of the axial rotating buckle 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the tube head 12; a limiting groove 21 is provided in the axial rotating buckle 2, and the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 is used to contact with the limiting portion 13 to perform radial positioning of the sealing ring 4 and apply axial extrusion force to the sealing ring 4; a fastening part 131 is provided on the limiting portion 13, and a retreat groove 22 is provided on the inner groove wall of the limiting groove 21, and the retreat groove 22 is used to engage with the fastening part 131 to lock the limiting portion 13 in the limiting groove 21.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pipe head 12 is a pagoda-shaped pipe head, which has a strong connection strength with other fluid channels.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting portion 13 and the axial rotation buckle 2 are distributed at 180° around the axis of the tube head 12 .

[0053] Specifically, the limiting portion 13 is fan-shaped, with at least one of its plane proximal to the main body 11 and its plane facing away from the main body 11 being configured to engage the wall of the limiting groove 21, thereby achieving radial positioning and increasing the frictional contact area between the limiting portion 13 and the wall of the limiting groove 21, thereby enhancing the locking effect between the limiting portion 13 and the axially rotating buckle 2. In this embodiment, the arcuate edges of the limiting portion 13 are chamfered at both ends to facilitate entry of the limiting portion 13 into the limiting groove 21. In this embodiment, the limiting portion 13 is fan-shaped with a central angle of 180 degrees.

[0054] Specifically, this embodiment further includes a protective cover 5, which is located on the side of the sterile barrier membrane 3 facing away from the connecting member 1 and is detachably fixedly connected to the connecting member 1 to protect the sterile barrier membrane 3. When the two-axis rotation locking sterile connection device needs to be connected, the protective cover 5 can be detached from the connecting member 1.

[0055] The protective cover 5 in this embodiment includes a cover body 51 that snaps into contact with the connecting member 1 and a grip portion 52. In this embodiment, both sides of the main body 11 and the cover body 51 are provided with a snap-fitting slot 91 and a snap-fitting member 92. The main body 11 and the cover body 51 are connected through the snap-fitting engagement of the snap-fitting slots 91 and the snap-fitting member 92. In this embodiment, there are four snap-fitting slots 91 and four snap-fitting members 92. The grip portion 52 is provided with anti-slip grooves 521 on the side closest to the connecting member 1 to increase friction between the user's hand and the protective cover 5, making it easier for the user to remove the protective cover 5 from the connecting member 1.

[0056] Specifically, an initial groove 23 is further provided on the wall of the limiting groove 21, and the fastener 131 can be rotated from the initial groove 23 to the outside of the limiting groove 21. The initial groove 23 can protect the fastener when the axial rotation locking sterile connection device is not in use.

[0057] Specifically, a slope 24 is further provided on the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 , and the slope 24 is used to guide the fastening member 131 to enter the anti-retraction groove 22 from outside the limiting groove 21 .

[0058] Specifically, the axially rotatable buckle 2 is provided with a rotation direction indicator mark 25, which is used to indicate the rotation direction of the axially rotatable buckle 2 when the fastening member 131 moves from the initial groove 23 to the retaining groove 22. The rotation direction indicator mark 25 helps the user determine the rotation direction of the axially rotatable buckle 2, prevents the fastening member 131 from colliding with the groove wall of the initial groove 23, and protects the fastening member 131.

[0059] Specifically, the axially rotating buckle 2 is provided with a side edge parallel to the radial direction of its rotation axis, and the main body 11 is provided with a locking indicator strip 111. When the locking indicator strip 111 is aligned with the side edge, the fastening member 131 engages with the wall of the backstop groove 22. The locking indicator strip 111 helps the user determine whether the axially rotating buckle 2 is fully rotated, preventing the axially rotating buckle 2 from being rotated too far and preventing the fastening member 131 from being damaged by the wall of the backstop groove 22.

[0060] Specifically, a plurality of observation holes 26 are provided on the side of the axial rotating buckle 2 facing away from the main body 11 or on the arc surface coaxial with the rotation axis of the axial rotating buckle 2. All observation holes 26 are arranged around the rotation axis of the axial rotating buckle 2, so that the user can observe the movement process of the limiting portion 13 in the limiting groove 21 through the observation holes 26.

[0061] Specifically, a handle 27 is provided on the axial rotating buckle 2 to facilitate the user to rotate the axial rotating buckle 2 .

[0062] Specifically, this embodiment also includes a pin 6, which is used to achieve the rotational connection between the axial rotating buckle 2 and the main body 11. The pin 6 is provided with a stopper 61 at one end and circumferential teeth 62 at the other end. A pin hole 112 is provided in the main body 11. After the pin 6 passes through the axial rotating buckle 2, the stopper 61 is located on the side of the axial rotating buckle 2 facing away from the main body 11, while the end provided with the circumferential teeth 62 is inserted into the pin hole 112 and forms an interference fit therewith, ensuring a reliable connection between the pin 6 and the main body 11.

[0063] Specifically, the main body 11 is provided with positioning protrusions 71 and positioning grooves 72 for accommodating the positioning protrusions 71. The positioning protrusions 71 and positioning grooves 72 correspond one to one, and the corresponding positioning protrusions 71 and positioning grooves 72 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the axis of the tube head 12. When all the positioning protrusions 71 of one axial rotation locking sterile connection device are fully inserted into all the positioning grooves 72 of the other axial rotation locking sterile connection device, the sealing rings 4 of the two axial rotation locking sterile connection devices are aligned. In this embodiment, two positioning protrusions 71 and two positioning grooves 72 are each provided, and all positioning protrusions 71 and positioning grooves 72 are arranged at intervals and evenly distributed around the axis of the tube head 12.

[0064] Specifically, this embodiment further includes a pull ring 8 , which is fixedly connected to the sterile barrier membrane 3 , so that the user can remove the sterile barrier membrane 3 from the connecting component 1 .

[0065] Specifically, the pull ring 8 is provided with a male buckle 81 and a stopper 82 for engaging with the male buckle 81 . The pull rings 8 of the two axially rotating and locking aseptic connection devices can be fixed together by the cooperation between the male buckle 81 and the stopper 82 .

[0066] Specifically, the main body 11 is provided with an installation indicator strip 113, which is provided on any side surface of the main body 11 parallel to the axis of the tube head 12. When the installation indicator strips 113 of the two axial rotation locking aseptic connection devices are aligned, the pull rings 8 of the two axial rotation locking aseptic connection devices can be aligned vertically, thereby facilitating the mating of the male buckle 81 and the stopper 82.

[0067] A first annular groove 41 is provided inside the sealing ring 4. The groove wall of the first annular groove 41 is arc-shaped in cross section. When the sealing ring 4 is axially squeezed, the first annular groove 41 can limit the internal expansion of the sealing ring 4, thereby reducing the change in the fluid coefficient (CV) within the sealing ring 4.

[0068] Specifically, a second annular groove 42 is provided on the outside of the sealing ring 4. The groove wall of the second annular groove 42 is arc-shaped in cross section, and the centerline of the arc-shaped groove wall of the first annular groove 41 is coplanar with the centerline of the arc-shaped groove wall of the second annular groove 42. The first annular groove 41 and the second annular groove 42 cooperate with each other to limit the expansion of the sealing ring 4 on both the inside and outside, further reducing the variation of the CV value within the sealing ring 4.

[0069] Specifically, the groove depth of the first annular groove 41 is greater than or equal to the groove depth of the second annular groove 42, where the groove depth refers to the depth of the groove perpendicular to the axial direction of the tube head 12. At the same time, the groove wall radius of the first annular groove 41 is greater than the groove wall radius of the second annular groove 42 to ensure that the cross-sectional area of ​​the second annular groove 42 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first annular groove 41, so that when the sealing ring 4 is subjected to axial pressure, the expansion trends on the inner and outer sides of the sealing ring 4 are relatively balanced, further reducing the change in the CV value in the sealing ring 4.

[0070] This embodiment also provides a sterile docking device, including a first sterile connecting component 1 and a second sterile connecting component 1. Fluid channels are provided inside the first sterile connecting component 1 and the second sterile connecting component 1. After the first sterile connecting component 1 and the second sterile connecting component 1 are docked, a sterile circulation channel for fluid flow is formed. The first sterile connecting component 1 and the second sterile connecting component 1 both adopt the above-mentioned axial rotation locking sterile connection device.

[0071] like Figure 10-11 As shown, this embodiment further provides a sterile connection system, including a first container, a second container, and a sterile docking device connecting the first container and the second container, wherein the sterile docking device adopts the above-mentioned sterile docking device.

[0072] This embodiment also provides a sterile connection method, which is applied to the above-mentioned axial rotation locking sterile connection device, including the following steps:

[0073] S1. Attach two identical axially rotating, locking sterile connection devices so that the sides of the two sterile barrier membranes 3 facing away from their corresponding sealing rings 4 are in contact, and the two sealing rings 4 are aligned. Specifically, provide two identical axially rotating, locking sterile connection devices, remove their protective covers 5, confirm the sterility of the sides of the two sterile barrier membranes 3 proximal to the connecting member 1, and connect the two pipe heads 12 to the containers or pipes to be sterilely connected.

[0074] S2. Rotate the two axially rotating buckles 2 so that the fastening piece 131 of one axially rotating locking sterile connection device is engaged with the retaining groove 22 of the other axially rotating locking sterile connection device, thereby achieving radial positioning of the two sealing rings 4 and applying axial extrusion force to the two sealing rings 4.

[0075] S3, extracting the two sterile barrier membranes 3 to form a sterile fluid passage. When the two sterile barrier membranes 3 are extracted, the two pull rings 8 can be connected together by the cooperation of the male buckle 81 and the stopper 82, so that the two sterile barrier membranes 3 can be removed at the same time.

[0076] In summary, this embodiment can complete the connection of the two axially rotating locking sterile connection devices only through the relative rotation of the limiting portion 13 and the axial rotating buckle 2, with the help of the resistance force between the two. The operation is simple, and there is no need to use auxiliary tools or equipment to press vigorously. The friction contact and snap connection between the two further improve the connection reliability of the two axially rotating locking sterile connection devices. Secondly, this embodiment is a non-male and female design, which can improve the efficiency of sterile connection. In addition, this embodiment also adds a snap-connected pull ring 8 to the sterile barrier membrane 3. The snap connection of the pull ring 8 can realize the simultaneous removal of the two sterile barrier membranes 3. Finally, this embodiment also optimizes the structure of the sealing ring 4, and reduces the variation of the CV value in the sealing ring 4 through the design of the groove.

[0077] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
