[0064] The miniature canning and conveying device of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the schematic diagrams, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the invention described herein while still achieving its advantageous effects. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit the invention.

[0065] The invention is described more specifically by way of example in the following paragraphs with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the invention.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a miniature canning and conveying device, including a conveying component 2, a capping component 5, a cap transfer component 6, a guardrail component 7, a filling component 8, and a sterilization component 9 disposed on a base plate 1.

[0067] The transmission component 2 has a feed end 21, a feed transmission end 22, a discharge transmission end 23 and a discharge end 24. The feed end 21 and the discharge end 24 are both located outside the isolator, while the feed transmission end 22 and the discharge transmission end 23 are both located inside the isolator. The feed transmission end 22 and the discharge transmission end 23 have opposite conveying directions.

[0068] That is, the raw liquid bottle is transferred from the feed end 21 to the feed transfer end 22, and then transferred to the discharge transfer end 23 through subsequent steps. Finally, the discharge end 24 sends out the filled and inoculated raw liquid bottle, realizing the function of filling and inoculating the medicine inside the isolator from the outside of the isolator, thereby preventing the internal environment of the isolator from being contaminated or leaked due to manual operation.

[0069] The capping assembly 5 is disposed above the feed conveying end 22 and the discharge conveying end 23, so as to respectively realize the unscrewing of the bottle cap of the raw liquid bottle on the feed conveying end 22 and the tightening of the bottle cap of the raw liquid bottle on the discharge conveying end 24.

[0070] The bottle cap transfer assembly 6 is disposed between the feed transfer end 22 and the discharge transfer end 23, and is used to transfer the bottle cap screwed off on the feed transfer end 22 to the discharge transfer end 24, and then cover the inoculated original liquid bottle with it in the subsequent process.

[0071] The guardrail assembly 7 is laid between the feed conveyor end 22 and the discharge conveyor end 23, and forms a filling and inoculation station, a disinfection station and a passage located on the same horizontal plane.

[0072] The two ends of the channel are connected to the feed conveyor 22 and the discharge conveyor 23 respectively, which facilitates the transfer of the original liquid bottle that has been moved to the end of the feed conveyor 22 to the filling and inoculation station, the sterilization station or the discharge conveyor 23.

[0073] The filling component 8 and the disinfection component 9 are respectively disposed on the filling and inoculation station and the disinfection station.

[0074] The guardrail assembly 7 has a bottle pusher 10 to move the original liquid bottle to the filling and inoculation station, the disinfection station, or the discharge transmission end 23. That is, the original liquid bottle is first passed through the filling and inoculation station by the bottle pusher 10, and then filled by the filling assembly 8. Then it is transferred to the disinfection station and disinfected by the disinfection assembly 9. Finally, the original liquid bottle is pushed through the channel to the discharge transmission end 23 for subsequent bottle cap placement and tightening.

[0075] In summary, this device, by setting up a transmission component 2 with an inlet end 21, an inlet conveying end 22, an outlet conveying end 23, and an outlet end 24, with the inlet end 21 and outlet end 24 located outside the isolator and the inlet conveying end 22 and outlet conveying end 23 located inside the isolator, facilitates the transfer of the raw liquid bottle from the outside to the inside of the isolator. Furthermore, by setting up a capping component 5, a cap transfer component 6, a guardrail component 7, a filling component 8, and a sterilization component 9, the device sequentially completes the functions of cap unscrewing, cap transfer, bottle transfer and filling, bottle transfer and sterilization, bottle transfer and conveying, cap placement, and cap tightening. This enables the filling and inoculation of the drug solution inside the isolator from outside the isolator, preventing contamination of the internal environment of the isolator and leaks due to manual operation, and improving the stability of the filling and inoculation process.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a traction component 11 is also added to facilitate the passage of the original liquid bottle through the window of the isolator.

[0077] Specifically, a traction assembly 11 for driving the original liquid bottle through or out of the isolator is provided between the feed end 21, the feed transmission end 22, the discharge end 24, and the discharge transmission end 23;

[0078] The traction assembly 11 is located outside the isolator, which reduces the impact on the internal environment of the isolator during operation.

[0079] The impact.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, the discharge end 24 is equipped with a marking mechanism 12, which is used to mark the inoculated concentrate bottle to record the filling and inoculation information of the concentrate bottle.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, a specific traction component 11 is also proposed to improve the adsorption and traction effect on the original liquid bottle.

[0082] Specifically, the traction assembly 11 includes a displacement device 111 and a rotating suction head 112.

[0083] The displacement device 111 moves in a direction parallel to the transmission component 2.

[0084] The rotating adsorption head 112 is rotatably mounted above the displacement device 111 and can be deflected above the feed end 21 or the discharge end 24 to adsorb and adhere to the original liquid bottle, and is used to push the original liquid bottle into the isolator or suck it from the isolator to the discharge end 24.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, in a further embodiment, a specific capping assembly 5 is also proposed to better unscrew and tighten the cap of the concentrate bottle.

[0086] Specifically, the capping assembly 5 includes a bracket 51, a lifting cylinder 52, a rotating cylinder 53, and a rotating joint 54.

[0087] The bracket 51 is fixedly installed on the outside of the feeding conveyor end 22 or the discharging conveyor end 23.

[0088] The lifting cylinder 52 is mounted on the top wall of the inner cavity of the bracket 51 and is connected to the rotary cylinder 53. The rotary joint 54 is installed at the output end of the rotary cylinder 53. The lifting cylinder 52 drives the rotary cylinder 53 to move vertically, so that the rotary joint 54 contacts the cap of the original liquid bottle. The forward and reverse rotation of the rotary cylinder 53 realizes the opening and tightening operations of the bottle cap, respectively.

[0089] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, a specific bottle cap transfer component 6 is also proposed to improve the stability of bottle cap transfer.

[0090] The bottle cap transfer assembly 6 includes a connecting frame 61, a displacement cylinder 62, and a bottle cap lifting and rotating clamping head 63.

[0091] The connecting frame 61 is disposed above the feeding conveyor end 22 and the discharging conveyor end 23.

[0092] The displacement cylinder 62 is mounted on the connecting frame 61 via a guide rod and can move between the feeding transmission end 22 and the discharging transmission end 23 to drive the bottle cap to move between the feeding transmission end 22 and the discharging transmission end 23.

[0093] The bottle cap lifting and rotating clamping head 63 is connected to the displacement cylinder 62 to clamp the bottle cap.

[0094] like Figure 6 As shown, the guardrail component 7 is further defined to better form a passage, a filling and inoculation station, and a disinfection station, facilitating the operation of the subsequent filling component 8 and disinfection component 9.

[0095] Specifically, the guardrail assembly 7 includes an outer guardrail 71 and an inner guardrail 72.

[0096] The outer guardrail 71 is located on the outside of the feed conveyor end 22 and the discharge conveyor end 23.

[0097] The inner guardrail 72 is disposed between the feed conveyor end 22 and the discharge conveyor end 23.

[0098] The inner guardrail 72 and the outer guardrail 71 are connected by a connecting plate 73 to form the passage.

[0099] In addition, the outer guardrail 71 is configured as a U-shaped structure, and the corner extends outward to form the filling and inoculation station and the disinfection station.

[0100] It should be noted that multiple sets of positioning cylinders 13 are provided between the outer guardrail 71 and the inner guardrail 72, which are used for screwing on the cap, taking off the cap, placing the cap, and screwing on the cap, so that under the action of the positioning cylinders 13, the original liquid bottle will not be moved by the running power of the feed transmission end 22 and the discharge transmission end 23, that is, it remains relatively stationary, which facilitates the operation of the cap screwing assembly 5 and the bottle cap transfer assembly 6.

[0101] It should be noted that the outer guardrail 71 and the inner guardrail 72 are also equipped with corresponding sensors to identify the position of the concentrate bottle and to perform corresponding operations on the concentrate bottle based on the information identified by the sensors.

[0102] like Figure 7As shown, the bottle pusher 10 is further defined to facilitate the transfer of the original liquid bottle (i.e., movement between the filling and inoculation station, the sterilization station, and the discharge conveyor 23).

[0103] Specifically, the bottle pusher 10 includes a support 101, a cylinder slider 102, and a suction nozzle 103.

[0104] The support 101 is located on the outside of the outer guardrail 71.

[0105] The cylinder slider 102 is mounted on the support via a slide rod.

[0106] The suction nozzle 103 is mounted on the cylinder slider 102 and positioned above the connecting plate 73 to adsorb the original liquid bottle as it moves and switches between the filling and inoculation station, the disinfection station, and the discharge transmission end 23, thereby assisting the original liquid bottle in completing filling, disinfection, and transfer.

[0107] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in other embodiments, the micro canning and conveying device further includes a conveying temporary component 3 and a receiving temporary component 4.

[0108] The conveying and temporary placement component 3 and the receiving and temporary placement component 4 are respectively connected to the feed end 21 and the discharge end 24, and are used for the transfer of the raw liquid bottle and the recycling of the raw liquid bottle.

[0109] In addition, both the conveying temporary placement assembly 3 and the receiving temporary placement assembly 4 include a roller frame and a pusher for gathering and pushing the original liquid bottles.

[0110] It should be noted that the pusher only serves to arrange and organize the concentrate bottles, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0111] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
