Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical equipment, and particularly relates to an implant filling and sealing system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The implant includes a syringe and a cover, and the implant assembly process includes: feeding the syringe and weighing, filling the syringe with medicine and weighing, sealing the filled syringe by screwing the cover, and discharging the assembled implant. In the assembly process, the syringe needs to be transported and changed in position for feeding, filling, weighing, sealing and discharging multiple times. Generally, the assembly is performed manually, and the fully automatic assembly process has not been realized.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN117985270A discloses an implant filling and sealing system. The system includes a conveying mechanism, and a pre-filled syringe feeding station, a front weighing station, a filling station, a rear weighing station and a capping station are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction. The system needs to complete the filling, weighing and sealing processes on the conveying mechanism, which is unreasonable in layout, occupies a large space area and has a complex overall structure. In the system scheme, the syringes need to be sorted and loaded on the conveying mechanism after feeding. If the weighing is directly performed on the conveying mechanism after filling, the conveying mechanism needs to wait for the completion of the weighing process before performing other processes because the weighing needs only the weighing mechanism surface to contact the implant and be stable and stationary at the original position for a certain time. A complex structure needs to be provided at the weighing station to weigh the implant placed vertically, and the conveying mechanism needs to avoid contacting the implant on both sides during weighing. It is difficult to weigh the implant placed vertically for the syringe-shaped implant. If the implant is taken out from the conveying mechanism and placed on the weighing station for weighing, a relatively complex structure needs to be provided to transfer the implant multiple times between the conveying mechanism and the weighing station, which is low in production efficiency.

The second transfer mechanism 8 vertically places the syringe on the filling mechanism 2 to complete the filling. Then the second transfer mechanism 8 horizontally places the syringe on the weighing mechanism 3 to complete the second weighing.

The buffer tank 26 is used for storing and transferring the medicine. Compared with the pipeline conveying, the medicine waste is reduced. Since the medicine is a thick paste liquid, the screw pump 27 is used for precise filling.

The first transfer mechanism 7 obtains the implant assembly from the feeding mechanism 1 and transports it to the weighing mechanism 3, and the weighing mechanism 3 weighs the implant assembly. The second transfer mechanism 8 obtains the implant assembly from the weighing mechanism 3 and transports it to the filling mechanism 2, and the filling mechanism 2 fills the implant assembly. The second transfer mechanism 8 obtains the filled implant assembly from the filling mechanism 2 and transports it to the weighing mechanism 3, and the weighing mechanism 3 weighs the filled implant assembly.

The second transfer mechanism 8 vertically places the needle cylinder on the filling mechanism 2 to complete the filling. The second transfer mechanism 8 horizontally places the needle cylinder on the weighing mechanism 3 to complete the second weighing.

The first transfer mechanism 7 transfers the weighed needle cylinder and vertically places it on the conveying mechanism 4. The conveying mechanism 4 clamps the vertically placed needle cylinder and conveys it to the capping mechanism 5. The vertically placed needle cylinder facilitates conveying and capping sealing.
