Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a cleaning structure and method for powder injection vials. Background Technology
[0002] Powder injections are powdered substances formed by mixing drugs and reagents, followed by sterilization and drying. They are usually stored in glass vials for easy transportation and preservation. To ensure the safety of the drugs, the vials must be cleaned before packaging.
[0003] A medical bottle cleaning device disclosed in patent number CN211965280U includes a support frame, a blower, and a cleaning solution storage tank. The blower and the cleaning solution storage tank are fixedly connected to the ground on one side of the support frame. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the support frame, and a control box is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod. This medical bottle cleaning device uses the blower to draw in outside air, which enters a ventilation duct along the outlet duct and then into an inner tube. The shape of the cleaning brush changes, allowing its bristles to contact the inner wall of the bottle for easier cleaning of stains. A water pump pumps the cleaning solution from the storage tank into the outer tube, spraying the solution into the inside of the bottle. The combined use of the cleaning solution and the cleaning brush effectively cleans the stains inside the bottle.
[0004] In the existing technology, when using this device to clean medicine bottles, the medicine bottles are first clamped by the clamps inside the device, and then the medicine bottles are cleaned. After cleaning, the staff still needs to remove the medicine bottles from the clamps, which cannot achieve the function of automatic unloading after cleaning. In addition, when clamping, the medicine bottles must be positioned and placed strictly according to the position of the brush head below, which makes the staff spend a lot of time picking up and putting down, resulting in a decrease in cleaning efficiency.

[0023] A method for cleaning powder injection vials includes the following steps:
[0024] S1, after the medicine bottle body is produced, it will arrive on the conveyor plate, and then be clamped by the robotic arm onto the clamping base in the cleaning chamber;
[0025] S2, then start the drive shaft in the cleaning assembly to rotate, drive the planetary gear and the double-sided lead screw to rotate, thereby moving the clamping base and the medicine bottle body. While moving, the spray chamber and cleaning rod are used to clean the medicine bottle body.
[0026] S3, while cleaning, can use the fan blades to generate wind to blow water stains off the medicine bottle body;
[0027] S4, After cleaning, the medicine bottle body is moved to the discharge component, and the medicine bottle body is clamped and transferred out of the cleaning chamber by the discharge base;
[0028] S5, the wastewater generated during cleaning falls from the drain into the water storage tank, and then is discharged through the water storage tank.
[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0030] This invention improves the cleaning efficiency of medicine bottles by using a cleaning chamber. A robotic arm clamps the medicine bottle from the inlet onto the clamping base. After the clamping base has clamped the medicine bottle, it drives the planetary gear to rotate. During rotation, the medicine bottle is cleaned by the spray chamber and cleaning rods inside the cleaning chamber. At the same time, the fan removes water stains from the medicine bottle. Then, the medicine bottle is driven to the discharge assembly, where it is discharged. Finally, the wastewater in the water storage tank is discharged. It should be noted that the cleaning assembly has multiple sets of clamping bases. The rotation speed driven by the planetary gear is the same as the feeding speed of the clamping arm. That is, when the clamping arm clamps the medicine bottle to the inlet, the next set of clamping bases arrives at the clamping arm at the same time to clamp the medicine bottle, realizing automated cleaning and avoiding the decrease in cleaning efficiency caused by manual operation.
[0031] This invention achieves rapid dispensing of the medicine bottle body through a dispensing assembly. When the planetary gear drives the clamping assembly to the dispensing assembly, the bottle body on the clamping assembly has its tail facing upwards. Subsequently, the dispensing belt drives the dispensing base to the medicine bottle body, and the dispensing base uses a shaped plate to clamp the medicine bottle body. When the shaped plate contacts the medicine bottle body, it first contacts the pulley on the shaped plate. At the same time as contact, the dispensing belt continuously drives the dispensing base to move. During the movement, the medicine bottle body moves on the pulley and expands the shaped plate. When it expands, it compresses the telescopic spring. When the medicine bottle body moves to the arc part of the shaped plate, the telescopic spring rebounds, clamping the medicine bottle body. Then, the dispensing belt carries the dispensing base and the medicine bottle body out of the cleaning chamber together. When the shaped plate clamps the medicine bottle body and carries it away from the clamping base, since the other side of the clamping base has an open structure, it does not obstruct the medicine bottle body. Thus, the dispensing base uses the dispensing base to carry the medicine bottle body away from the two sets of clamping blocks.
[0032] This invention achieves rapid clamping of the medicine bottle body through a clamping assembly. When the robotic arm clamps the medicine bottle body onto the clamping base, the bottle opening faces the cleaning port. At this time, the clamping blocks on the side walls of the two sets of clamps are in a close fit, and the clamping blocks are triangular in shape. The robotic arm uses the bottle opening to fit the clamping blocks, and then drives the medicine bottle body to descend. During the descent, the clamping blocks on both sides are squeezed, and the clamping spring is squeezed during the squeezing process. When the bottle opening fits with the cleaning port, the notch of the medicine bottle body is parallel to the clamping blocks. Then the clamping spring rebounds, clamping and fixing the medicine bottle body. After fixing, the cleaning assembly drives the clamping assembly to rotate and clean in the cleaning chamber.

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] Please see Figures 1-11 As shown, this application provides a powder injection vial cleaning structure, including a workbench 2 and a vial body 8; a cleaning chamber 1 is fixedly connected to the workbench 2, and the structure further includes:
[0048] The cleaning component 13 is installed in the cleaning chamber 1 and is used to clean the medicine bottle body 8.
[0049] The clamping assembly 7 is connected to the cleaning assembly 13 and is used to clamp the medicine bottle body 8 during cleaning.
[0050] The discharge component 5 is located on one side of the cleaning chamber 1 and is used to transfer the medicine bottle body 8 out of the cleaning chamber 1 when cleaning is completed.
[0051] The robotic arm 3 is set on the workbench 2 and is used to clamp the medicine bottle body 8 into the cleaning chamber 1;
[0052] The conveyor plate 4 is set on the workbench 2 and is used to transport the medicine bottle body 8 for the robotic arm 3 to hold.
[0053] Water storage tank 9 is located at the bottom of workbench 2 and is used to store wastewater generated during cleaning;
[0054] The spray chamber 141 and the cleaning rod 152 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cleaning chamber 1 for cleaning the medicine bottle body 8;
[0055] In existing technology, when using this device to clean medicine bottles, the bottles are first clamped by a clamping plate within the device before cleaning. After cleaning, the bottle must be removed from the clamping plate by a worker, making automatic unloading impossible. Furthermore, the bottle must be precisely positioned according to the location of the brush head, causing significant time wastage and reducing cleaning efficiency. To prevent this, a robotic arm 3 first clamps the bottle body 8 from the conveyor plate 4 onto the clamping assembly 7 in the cleaning chamber 1. After the holding component 7 is clamped, the driving cleaning component 13 is activated, which will move the holding component 7 within the cleaning chamber 1. During the movement, the spray chamber 141 and cleaning rod 152 on the side wall of the cleaning chamber 1 are used to clean the medicine bottle body 8. The cleaning rod 152 can be inserted into the inside of the medicine bottle body 8 to clean the inside of the medicine bottle body 8. After a series of cleaning processes including the spray chamber 141 and the cleaning rod 152, the cleaning component 13 moves the medicine bottle body 8 to the discharge component 5. Then, the discharge component 5 carries the medicine bottle body 8 out of the cleaning chamber 1. The wastewater generated during cleaning can be discharged into the water storage tank 9 and then discharged from the water storage tank 9.
[0056] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the cleaning assembly 13 includes an internal gear 130 and a drive gear 131; the internal gear 130 and the drive gear 131 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning chamber 1; the drive gear 131 is disposed inside the internal gear 130; a drive shaft 138 is fixedly connected to the middle of the drive gear 131; a planetary gear 132 is meshed between the drive gear 131 and the internal gear 130; a double-acting lead screw 133 is fixedly connected to the planetary gear 132; a lifting gear 134 and a lifting block 135 are threadedly connected to the double-acting lead screw 133; the lifting block 135 is disposed below the lifting gear 134; a transmission gear 136 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the lifting block 135; a transmission rod 137 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the transmission gear 136 away from the lifting block 135; a clamping assembly 7 is disposed at the end of the transmission rod 137; multiple sets of cleaning assemblies 13 are provided; a discharge port 16 is opened on the side wall of the cleaning chamber 1; a discharge assembly 5 is disposed at the discharge port 16.
[0057] During operation, the robotic arm 3 places the medicine bottle body 8 onto the clamping assembly 7, then drives the drive shaft 138 to rotate. This rotation drives the lower drive gear 131, which in turn drives the surrounding planetary gears 132. This rotation causes the clamping assembly 7 to rotate within the cleaning chamber 1. Simultaneously, the lifting gear 134 and transmission gear 136 cause the clamping assembly 7 to rotate. During this rotation, the spray chamber 141 cleans the medicine bottle body 8, ensuring even cleaning. The surface of the medicine bottle body 8 is cleaned. While the lifting gear 134 is rotating, it is driven to move upward by the bidirectional lead screw 133. After reaching the top of the bidirectional lead screw 133, it moves downward. The lifting block 135 does the same, but the lifting block 135 does not rotate on its own when it is rotating. The number of times the clamping component 7 flips on the bidirectional lead screw 133 is set by data to ensure that when the clamping component 7 moves to the discharge port 16, the bottom of the medicine bottle body 8 faces the discharge component 5, so that it is clamped by the discharge component 5 and then transferred out of the cleaning chamber 1.
[0058] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the clamping assembly 7 includes a clamping base 71; a cleaning port 711 is provided at the bottom of the clamping base 71; a clamp 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping base 71; two sets of clamps 72 are provided; a clamping groove 721 is provided on the side wall of the clamp 72; a clamping spring 723 is fixedly connected in the clamping groove 721; a clamping block 722 is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping spring 723 away from the clamping groove 721; the medicine bottle body 8 is clamped by the clamping block 722; and a feed inlet 11 is provided on the side wall of the cleaning chamber 1.
[0059] During operation, when the robotic arm 3 clamps the medicine bottle body 8 onto the clamping base 71, the bottle opening of the medicine bottle body 8 faces the cleaning port 711. At this time, the clamping blocks 722 on the side walls of the two sets of clamps 72 are in a close fit, and the clamping blocks 722 are triangular in shape. The robotic arm 3 uses the bottle opening of the medicine bottle body 8 to fit with the clamping blocks 722, and then drives the medicine bottle body 8 to descend. During the descent, the clamping blocks 722 on both sides are squeezed, and the clamping spring 723 is squeezed during the squeezing process. When the bottle opening fits with the cleaning port 711, the notch of the medicine bottle body 8 is parallel to the clamping blocks 722. Then the clamping spring 723 rebounds, clamping and fixing the medicine bottle body 8. After fixing, the cleaning assembly 13 drives the clamping assembly 7 to rotate and clean in the cleaning chamber 1.
[0060] like Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the discharge assembly 5 includes a discharge belt 51; the discharge belt 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the discharge port 16; a discharge base 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge belt 51; a telescopic groove 53 is provided on the side wall of the discharge base 52; a telescopic spring 54 is fixedly connected in the telescopic groove 53; a sliding plate 55 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic spring 54 away from the telescopic groove 53; the sliding plate 55 is slidably connected in the telescopic groove 53; a telescopic column 56 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding plate 55 away from the telescopic spring 54; a shaped plate 57 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic column 56; a pulley 58 is rotatably connected to the shaped plate 57; a rubber flexible plate 161 is fixedly connected to the top of the discharge port 16; and multiple sets of discharge bases 52 are provided.
[0061] During operation, when the planetary gear 132 drives the clamping assembly 7 to the dispensing assembly 5, the bottle body 8 on the clamping assembly 7 has its tail facing upwards. Then, the dispensing belt 51 drives the dispensing base 52 to the bottle body 8, and the dispensing base 52 uses the shaped plate 57 on the dispensing base 52 to clamp the bottle body 8. When the shaped plate 57 contacts the bottle body 8, it first contacts the pulley 58 on the shaped plate 57. Simultaneously, the dispensing belt 51 continuously drives the dispensing base 52 to move. During this movement, the bottle body 8 moves on the pulley 58, and the bottle body 8 is clamped. When the shaped plate 57 is opened, it compresses the telescopic spring 54. When the medicine bottle body 8 moves to the arc-shaped part of the shaped plate 57, the telescopic spring 54 rebounds and clamps the medicine bottle body 8. Then, the discharge belt 51 carries the discharge base 52 and the medicine bottle body 8 out of the cleaning chamber 1 together. When the shaped plate 57 clamps the medicine bottle body 8 and carries it away from the clamping base 71, since the other side of the clamping base 71 is an open structure, it does not obstruct the medicine bottle body 8. Thus, the discharge base 52 is used to carry the medicine bottle body 8 away from the two sets of clamping blocks 722.
[0062] like Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, a telescopic cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning chamber 1; a pressure pump 151 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic cylinder 15 away from the cleaning chamber 1; a cleaning rod 152 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure pump 151; a water inlet pipe 153 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pressure pump 151; the water inlet pipe 153 is installed through the cleaning chamber 1; a water inlet chamber 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 1; and a spray chamber 141 is fixedly connected to the water inlet chamber 14 and located on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 1.
[0063] During operation, when the medicine bottle body 8 is moved on the clamping base 71 by the planetary gear 132, it first reaches the spray chamber 141. During the movement, the clamping base 71 is rotated by the lifting gear 134. During the rotation, it is sprayed by the spray chamber 141 to clean the dirt on the surface of the medicine bottle body 8. Then, the planetary gear 132 drives the clamping base 71 to the bottom of the cleaning rod 152. At this time, the cleaning port 711 at the bottom of the clamping base 71 is rotated to face the cleaning rod 152. Then, the telescopic cylinder 15 drives the cleaning rod 152 to descend and insert the cleaning rod 152 into the medicine bottle body 8. After insertion, the pressure pump 151 is started, water is poured into the cleaning rod 152 and sprayed into the inside of the medicine bottle body 8, thereby cleaning the inside of the medicine bottle body 8. After cleaning, the clamping component 7 continues to rotate. When it rotates to the discharge component 5, the tail of the medicine bottle body 8 faces upward to the discharge component 5. It is then clamped by the discharge component 5 and carried away from the cleaning chamber 1. The rotation of the clamping base 71 is adjusted by the staff using the lifting gear 134 before operation. When the clamping base 71 comes to the bottom of the clamping rod, the cleaning port 711 of the clamping base 71 faces the cleaning rod 152. When it reaches the discharge component 5, the tail of the medicine bottle body 8 faces the discharge component 5. This setting facilitates the cleaning and transfer of the medicine bottle body 8.
[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, a fan compartment 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning chamber 1; a fan shaft 61 is rotatably connected to the top of the cleaning chamber 1 inside the fan compartment 6; fan blades 62 are fixedly connected to the fan shaft 61; and multiple sets of fan blades 62 are provided.
[0065] During operation, when cleaning the medicine bottle body 8, a lot of water stains will remain on the surface of the medicine bottle body 8. At this time, the fan blade 62 generates wind to blow the water stains off the medicine bottle body 8, which can prevent too much cleaning water from being carried out of the cleaning chamber 1 when discharging.
[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, a water storage tank 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench 2; a water outlet pipe 91 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 9; a water outlet valve 92 is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe 91; and a drain outlet 12 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 1.
[0067] During operation, the water used for cleaning flows from the drain 12 at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 1 into the water storage chamber 9. After the operation is completed, the outlet valve 92 is opened to discharge the wastewater into the water storage chamber 9 through the drain 12.
[0068] Please see Figures 1-11 As shown, this application provides a method for cleaning powder injection vials, including the following steps:
[0069] S1, after the medicine bottle body 8 is produced, it will arrive on the conveyor plate 4, and then be clamped by the robotic arm 3 onto the clamping base 71 in the cleaning chamber 1.
[0070] S2, then start the drive shaft 138 in the cleaning assembly 13 to rotate, drive the planetary gear 132 and the double-acting screw 133 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping base 71 and the medicine bottle body 8 to move. While moving, the spray chamber 141 and the cleaning rod 152 are used to clean the medicine bottle body 8.
[0071] S3, while cleaning, the fan blade 62 can generate wind to blow away water stains on the medicine bottle body 8;
[0072] S4. After cleaning, the medicine bottle body 8 is moved to the discharge assembly 5, and the medicine bottle body 8 is clamped and transferred out of the cleaning chamber 1 by the discharge base 52.
[0073] S5, the wastewater generated during cleaning falls from the drain 12 into the water storage tank 9, and is then discharged through the water storage tank 9;
[0074] During operation, the robotic arm 3 first clamps the medicine bottle body 8 from the feed port 11 onto the clamping base 71. After the clamping base 71 has finished clamping the medicine bottle body 8, it drives the planetary gear 132 to rotate. During rotation, the medicine bottle body 8 is cleaned by the spray chamber 141 and the cleaning rod 152 in the cleaning chamber 1. At the same time, the fan blade 62 removes water stains from the medicine bottle body 8. Then, the medicine bottle body 8 is driven to the discharge component 5, and the medicine bottle body 8 is discharged through the discharge component 5. Finally, the wastewater in the water storage tank 9 is discharged. It should be noted that multiple sets of clamping bases 71 are set in the cleaning component 13. The rotation speed driven by the planetary gear 132 is consistent with the feeding speed of the clamping arm. That is, when the clamping arm clamps the medicine bottle body 8 to the feed port 11, the next set of clamping bases 71 arrives at the clamping arm at the same time to clamp the medicine bottle body 8, realizing automated cleaning and avoiding the decrease in cleaning efficiency caused by manual operation.
[0075] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the robotic arm 3 clamps the medicine bottle body 8 from the feed port 11 onto the clamping base 71. Then, after the clamping base 71 has finished clamping the medicine bottle body 8, it drives the planetary gear 132 to rotate. During rotation, the medicine bottle body 8 is cleaned by the spray chamber 141 and the cleaning rod 152 in the cleaning chamber 1. At the same time, the fan blade 62 removes water stains from the medicine bottle body 8. Then, the medicine bottle body 8 is driven to the discharge component 5, and the medicine bottle body 8 is discharged through the discharge component 5. Finally, the wastewater in the water storage tank 9 is discharged. It should be noted that multiple sets of clamping bases 71 are set in the cleaning component 13. The rotation speed driven by the planetary gear 132 is consistent with the feeding speed of the clamping arm. That is, when the clamping arm clamps the medicine bottle body 8 to the feed port 11, the next set of clamping bases 71 arrives at the clamping arm at the same time to clamp the medicine bottle body 8, realizing automated cleaning and avoiding the decrease in cleaning efficiency caused by manual operation.
[0076] In this process, after the robotic arm 3 places the medicine bottle body 8 onto the clamping assembly 7, it drives the drive shaft 138 to rotate. This rotation drives the lower drive gear 131 to rotate, and simultaneously, the teeth on the drive gear 131 drive the surrounding planetary gears 132 to rotate. This causes the clamping assembly 7 to rotate within the cleaning chamber 1. While the clamping assembly 7 rotates, the lifting gear 134 and transmission gear 136 cause the clamping assembly 7 to flip. During this flipping process, the spray chamber 141 then cleans the medicine bottle body 8, ensuring even cleaning. The surface of the medicine bottle body 8 is cleaned. While the lifting gear 134 is rotating, it is driven to move upward by the bidirectional lead screw 133. After reaching the top of the bidirectional lead screw 133, it moves downward. The lifting block 135 does the same, but the lifting block 135 does not rotate on its own when it is rotating. The number of times the clamping component 7 flips on the bidirectional lead screw 133 is set by data to ensure that when the clamping component 7 moves to the discharge port 16, the bottom of the medicine bottle body 8 faces the discharge component 5, so that it is clamped by the discharge component 5 and then transferred out of the cleaning chamber 1.
[0077] During discharging, the bottle body 8 on the clamping assembly 7 has its tail facing upwards. The discharging belt 51 then drives the discharging base 52 to the bottle body 8, where the shaped plate 57 on the discharging base 52 clamps the bottle body 8. When the shaped plate 57 contacts the bottle body 8, it first contacts the pulley 58 on the shaped plate 57. Simultaneously, the discharging belt 51 continuously moves the discharging base 52. During this movement, the bottle body 8 moves on the pulley 58, opening the shaped plate 57. When opened, it extends... When the compression spring 54 is squeezed, the medicine bottle body 8 moves to the arc-shaped part of the irregular plate 57, the compression spring 54 rebounds and clamps the medicine bottle body 8. Then, the discharge belt 51 carries the discharge base 52 and the medicine bottle body 8 out of the cleaning chamber 1 together. When the irregular plate 57 clamps the medicine bottle body 8 and carries it away from the clamping base 71, since the other side of the clamping base 71 is an open structure, it does not obstruct the medicine bottle body 8. Thus, the discharge base 52 is used to carry the medicine bottle body 8 away from the two sets of clamping blocks 722.
[0078] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of one embodiment of the present invention, but this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this invention should still fall within the patent coverage of this invention.
