Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated production equipment technology, specifically to an automated production equipment for sterilization bags with automatic positioning function. Background Technology

[0002] In medical facilities, all equipment and materials used must be rigorously tested to minimize the possibility of infection transmission. It is well known that products such as surgical instruments used in operating rooms must be sterilized before each use, and the elimination of bacteria is particularly important for medical devices. Currently, the demand for sterilization of biopharmaceutical devices is increasing.

[0003] The manufacturing process of biopharmaceutical devices involves a lot of manual labor and the packaging process is quite complicated. It is easy for bacteria to re-adhere to biopharmaceutical devices that have already been sterilized. In the past, the packaging, sealing and labeling of devices were all done manually, which could not meet the increasing production needs and industry environmental requirements. Manual operation inevitably resulted in incomplete sealing during sealing. Using more manual labor also increased labor costs. Therefore, this equipment was designed to reduce manual labor and improve production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated sterilization bag production equipment with automatic positioning function to solve the problems raised in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides a technical solution for an automatic sterilization bag production equipment with automatic positioning function. The automatic sterilization bag production equipment includes a hopper, a vibrating material tray, a robot, a vision device, a quick-change fixture station, and a protective device. The protective device includes a protective base and a protective support, with a transparent plate between the protective support and the transparent plate. The protective support and the transparent plate are fastened together. The hopper and the protective base are fastened together. The vibrating material tray and the protective base are fastened together. The robot and the protective base are fastened together. The vision device and the transparent plate are fastened together. The vision device and the robot are electrically connected. The quick-change fixture station and the protective base are fastened together.

[0006] The protective base serves as the main support base, providing support and protection for the entire equipment. The protective bracket acts as a support structure, isolating the external environment through a transparent panel to ensure that no bacteria enter the working environment during operation, preventing the sterilization bags from coming into contact with bacteria during use. The hopper serves as a storage device; when feeding is needed, the stored material is released into the vibrating feed pan, which then vibrates to evenly distribute the material. The vision device then detects the type of material, and based on the detection results, the robot automatically selects the corresponding gripper on the quick-change station. After selecting the corresponding gripper, the vision device detects the loading position again and transmits a signal to the robot to load the material based on the loading position.

[0007] Furthermore, the automatic sterilization bag production equipment also includes a sealing device, an opening fixture, a labeling fixture, and a sterilization bag feeding fixture. The sealing device and the protective base are securely connected. There are two sealing devices, which are distributed on both sides of the opening fixture. The two sealing devices are used to seal the first and last ends of the sterilization bag, respectively. The opening fixture and the protective base are securely connected. The labeling fixture and the sealing device located away from the robot are securely connected. The sterilization bag feeding fixture is connected to the sealing device located away from the robot. The sterilization bag feeding fixture and the protective base are securely connected.

[0008] The sterilization bag feeding fixture serves as the main feeding device. It transports sterilization bags, and the opening fixture sucks up the bags, opening them. Then, the robot picks up the material from the vibrating tray and feeds it into the sterilization bag. After feeding, a vision device detects the bag's filling status, selects a suitable-sized bag, and the sealing device seals and cuts the filled bag. Finally, a labeling fixture affixes labels and sterilization tape to the filled bag. During subsequent sterilization, the color change of the sterilization tape indicates whether the sterilization was successful.

[0009] Furthermore, the packaging device includes a packaging cylinder, a hot melt block, a packaging knife, a packaging bracket, a hot melt pad, a hot melt support, a rolling wheel, a roller support, and a drive device. The packaging bracket and the protective base are securely connected. The packaging bracket and the labeling fixture are securely connected. The packaging bracket, which is away from the robot, is connected to the sterilization bag feeding fixture. The output end of the packaging cylinder is securely connected to the hot melt block. The packaging cylinder and the packaging bracket are securely connected. There are two hot melt blocks, which are symmetrically installed about the packaging knife. The packaging knife is securely connected to the two hot melt blocks. The packaging bracket and the drive device are securely connected. The hot melt support and the packaging bracket are securely connected. The hot melt support and the hot melt pad are securely connected. The drive device and the roller support are securely connected. The roller support and the rolling wheel are rotatably connected.

[0010] The packaging bracket, as the main support device, is used to support and install other components. The sterilization bag is fed into the working position by a sterilization bag feeding fixture, and then the opening fixture opens the sterilization bag. The robot fills the sterilization bag with material. After filling, the vision device selects a suitable cutting position for cutting and packaging based on the filling situation. The packaging cylinder outputs displacement, driving the hot melt block and packaging knife to move until the hot melt block and hot melt pad abut, and the packaging knife abuts the sterilization bag. The packaging cylinder stops outputting displacement, and the hot melt block and hot melt pad begin heating to heat-melt and seal the sterilization bag. After sealing, heating stops, and simultaneously, the drive device drives the roller support to rise. The rising roller support drives the rolling wheel to rise until the rolling wheel abuts the sterilization bag. The rolling wheel provides pressure to cut and separate the sterilization bag and the packaging knife at the contact point. Simultaneously, the drive device drives the roller support to move, which in turn drives the rolling wheel to move. The rolling wheel movement ensures that the part of the sterilization bag that abuts the packaging knife is subjected to pressure from the rolling wheel, facilitating the cutting of the sterilization bag by the packaging knife.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a linear motor, a linear guide rail, and a drive cylinder. The linear guide rail and the packaging bracket are fastened together, the linear motor and the linear guide rail are slidably connected, the linear motor and the drive cylinder are fastened together, and the output end of the drive cylinder is fastened together with the roller support.

[0012] The cylinder outputs displacement to move the roller support upward. The upward movement of the roller support causes the roller to come into contact with the sterilization bag. The sealing knife cuts the sterilization bag at the point where the roller comes into contact with the bag. At the same time, the linear motor moves linearly on the linear guide rail. The movement of the linear motor causes the roller support to move, and finally causes the roller to move in the installation direction of the linear guide rail, so that the sealing knife can fully cut the sterilization bag.

[0013] Furthermore, the opening fixture includes an opening cylinder, a fixture bracket, and an adsorption block. The fixture bracket and the packaging bracket are fastened together, the fixture bracket and the protective base are fastened together, the opening cylinder and the fixture bracket are fastened together, and the output end of the opening cylinder and the adsorption block are fastened together.

[0014] The tooling bracket serves as the main installation base for mounting other components. The outward displacement of the opening cylinder drives the adsorption block to move. When the adsorption block moves downward to the vicinity of the sterilization bag, it opens to generate negative pressure, adsorbing the sterilization bag and opening it. At the same time, the opening cylinder is controlled to contract, further enlarging the opening of the sterilization bag. Simultaneously, the vision device detects the opening size. Once the opening size meets the filling standard, the opening cylinder stops contracting, and the robot begins to fill and feed the material into the sterilization bag. After the feeding is completed, the adsorption block stops generating negative pressure, and then the bag is sealed.

[0015] Furthermore, the labeling fixture includes a labeling cylinder, a labeling plate, a labeling support plate, a labeling housing, a labeling fixing plate, and a tape fixture. The labeling fixing plate is securely connected to the packaging bracket, the labeling fixing plate is securely connected to the labeling housing, the labeling housing is securely connected to the labeling support plate, the labeling support plate is securely connected to the labeling cylinder, and the labeling housing has a cylinder hole on the side near the output end of the labeling cylinder. The output end of the labeling cylinder passes through the cylinder hole and is securely connected to the labeling plate. The tape fixture is securely connected to the protective base.

[0016] The labeling fixing plate serves as the main support device, supporting other components. The labeling support plate is used to fix the labeling cylinder. When the sterilization bag needs labeling information and the sterilization bag needs to be pasted, the labeling cylinder outputs displacement outward, driving the labeling plate downward until the labeling plate completely prints the information on the labeling plate onto the sterilization bag. Then, the labeling cylinder retracts, and the tape fixture pastes the sterilization bag.

[0017] Furthermore, the sterilization bag feeding fixture includes a feeding rack, a moving roller, a feeding motor, a feeding plate, a feeding platform, a motor roller, and a fixed roller. The feeding rack and the protective base are securely connected, the moving roller and the protective base are securely connected, the feeding plate and the protective base are securely connected, the feeding platform and the protective base are securely connected, the feeding platform is provided with an installation slot, the installation slot is placed above the packaging bracket away from the robot, the feeding plate and the feeding motor are securely connected, the output end of the feeding motor and the motor roller are securely connected, the motor roller and the feeding plate are rotatably connected, and the feeding plate and the fixed roller are rotatably connected.

[0018] The feeding platform serves as the main workbench, and the feeding plate serves as the main mounting plate for installing the feeding motor, motor roller, and fixed roller. The feeding rack serves as the storage device, responsible for providing sterilization bags and connecting them sequentially to the moving roller, fixed roller, and motor roller. The rotation of the feeding motor drives the motor roller to rotate, which in turn moves the sterilization bags. The movement of the sterilization bags then drives the fixed roller and the moving roller to rotate, thus achieving automatic feeding of sterilization bags onto the feeding platform.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The robot detects the type of material through a vision device. Based on the detection results, the robot automatically selects the corresponding fixture on the quick-change station. After selecting the corresponding fixture, the vision device detects the loading position again. Based on the loading position, the vision device transmits a signal to the robot to load the material, thereby enabling the use of different fixtures for different stored materials and improving the robot's working efficiency.

[0020] 2. The sterilization bag feeding fixture enables automatic feeding of sterilization bags. Then, the opening size of the sterilization bag is adjusted by the opening fixture to facilitate the robot filling. After filling, the sterilization bags are packaged by the sealing device. The whole process is automated and there is no human intervention, which prevents bacteria from contaminating the sterilization bags.

[0021] 3. Each sterilization bag is individually coded using labeling fixtures, and production information is controlled through visual inspection devices to meet GMP requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example: Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for an automatic sterilization bag production equipment with automatic positioning function. The automatic sterilization bag production equipment includes a hopper 1, a vibrating material tray 2, a robot 3, a vision device 4, a quick-change fixture station 5, and a protective device 6. The protective device 6 includes a protective base 61 and a protective support 62, with a transparent plate between the protective supports 62. The protective supports 62 and the transparent plate are fastened together. The hopper 1 and the protective base 61 are fastened together. The vibrating material tray 2 and the protective base 61 are fastened together. The robot 3 and the protective base 61 are fastened together. The vision device 4 and the transparent plate are fastened together. The vision device 4 and the robot 3 are electrically connected. The quick-change fixture station 5 and the protective base 61 are fastened together.

[0026] The protective base 61 serves as the main support base, providing support and protection for the entire equipment. The protective bracket 62 acts as a support frame, isolating the external environment through a transparent plate to ensure that no bacteria enter the working environment during operation and that the sterilization bags do not come into contact with bacteria during use. The hopper 1 serves as a storage device. When material needs to be supplied, the stored material is released into the vibrating tray 2 through the hopper 1. At the same time, the vibrating tray 2 starts to vibrate, dispersing the material evenly through vibration. Then, the vision device 4 detects the type of material. Based on the detection result, the robot 3 automatically selects the corresponding clamp on the clamp quick-change station 5. After selecting the corresponding clamp, the vision device 4 detects the loading position again. Based on the loading position, the vision device 4 transmits a signal to the robot 3 to load the material.

[0027] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the automatic sterilization bag production equipment also includes a sealing device 7, an opening fixture 8, a labeling fixture 9, and a sterilization bag feeding fixture 10. The sealing device 7 and the protective base 61 are fastened together. There are two sealing devices 7, which are distributed on both sides of the opening fixture 8. The two sealing devices 7 are used to seal the first and last ends of the sterilization bag, respectively. The opening fixture 8 and the protective base 61 are fastened together. The labeling fixture 9 and the sealing device 7 located away from the robot 3 are fastened together. The sterilization bag feeding fixture 10 and the sealing device 7 located away from the robot 3 are connected together. The sterilization bag feeding fixture 10 and the protective base 61 are fastened together.

[0028] The sterilization bag feeding fixture 10 serves as the main feeding device, conveying sterilization bags. The opening fixture 8 adsorbs the sterilization bags, opening them. Then, the robot 3 picks up the material from the vibrating tray 2 and feeds it into the sterilization bag. After feeding, the vision device 4 detects the filling status of the sterilization bag and selects a sterilization bag of appropriate size. The sealing device 7 seals and cuts the filled sterilization bag. Then, the labeling fixture 9 affixes labels to the filled sterilization bags and simultaneously applies sterilization tape. During subsequent sterilization, the color change of the sterilization tape indicates whether the sterilization of the bag has been successful.

[0029] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the packaging device 7 includes a packaging cylinder 71, a hot melt block 72, a packaging knife 73, a packaging bracket 74, a hot melt pad 75, a hot melt support 76, a rolling wheel 77, a rolling wheel support 78, and a drive device 79. The packaging bracket 74 is fastened to the protective base 61 and the labeling fixture 9. The packaging bracket 74, which is away from the robot 3, is connected to the sterilization bag feeding fixture 10. The output end of the packaging cylinder 71 is fastened to the hot melt block 72. The packaging cylinder 71 and the packaging bracket 74 are fastened to each other. There are two hot melt blocks 72, which are symmetrically installed about the packaging knife 73. The packaging knife 73 is fastened to the two hot melt blocks 72. The packaging bracket 74 and the drive device 79 are fastened to each other. The hot melt support 76 and the packaging bracket 74 are fastened to each other. The hot melt support 76 and the hot melt pad 75 are fastened to each other. The drive device 79 and the rolling wheel support 78 are fastened to each other. The rolling wheel support 78 and the rolling wheel 77 are rotatably connected.

[0030] The packaging bracket 74 serves as the main support device, used for supporting and installing other components. The sterilization bag is fed into the working position by the sterilization bag feeding fixture 10, and then the opening fixture 8 opens the sterilization bag. The robot 3 fills the sterilization bag with material. After filling, the vision device 4 selects a suitable cutting position for cutting and packaging based on the filling situation. The packaging cylinder 71 outputs displacement to move the hot melt block 72 and the packaging knife 73 until the hot melt block 72 and the hot melt pad 75 abut, and the packaging knife 73 abuts the sterilization bag. At this point, the packaging cylinder 71 stops outputting displacement, and the hot melt block 72 and the hot melt pad 75 open. Heating begins to heat-seal the sterilization bag. After sealing, heating stops, and simultaneously, the drive device 79 drives the roller support 78 to rise. The rising roller support 78 drives the rolling wheel 77 to rise until the rolling wheel 77 and the sterilization bag come into contact. The rolling wheel 77 provides pressure to cut the sterilization bag and the sealing knife 73 at the contact point. At the same time, the drive device 79 drives the roller support 78 to move. The movement of the roller support 78 drives the rolling wheel 77 to move. The movement of the rolling wheel 77 ensures that the part of the sterilization bag that comes into contact with the sealing knife 73 is subjected to the pressure provided by the rolling wheel 77, which facilitates the cutting of the sterilization bag by the sealing knife 73.

[0031] like Figure 7As shown, the drive device 79 includes a linear motor 791, a linear guide rail 792, and a drive cylinder 793. The linear guide rail 792 is fastened to the packaging bracket 74, the linear motor 791 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 792, the linear motor 791 is fastened to the drive cylinder 793, and the output end of the drive cylinder 793 is fastened to the roller support 78.

[0032] The cylinder 793 drives the roller support 78 to move upward, which in turn causes the roller 77 to come into contact with the sterilization bag. The sealing knife 73 cuts the sterilization bag at the point where the roller 77 comes into contact with the bag. At the same time, the linear motor 791 moves linearly on the linear guide rail 792. The movement of the linear motor 791 causes the roller support 78 to move, which in turn causes the roller 77 to move in the mounting direction of the linear guide rail 792, thus allowing the sealing knife 73 to cut the sterilization bag completely.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the opening fixture 8 includes an opening cylinder 81, a fixture bracket 82, and an adsorption block 83. The fixture bracket 82 is fastened to the packaging bracket 74, the fixture bracket 82 is fastened to the protective base 61, the opening cylinder 81 is fastened to the fixture bracket 82, and the output end of the opening cylinder 81 is fastened to the adsorption block 83.

[0034] The tooling bracket 82 serves as the main installation base for installing other components. The outward displacement output of the opening cylinder 81 drives the adsorption block 83 to move. When the adsorption block 83 moves downward to the vicinity of the sterilization bag, it opens to generate negative pressure and adsorbs the sterilization bag, opening it. At the same time, the opening cylinder 81 is controlled to contract, further expanding the opening of the sterilization bag. Meanwhile, the vision device 4 detects the size of the opening. Once the opening size meets the filling standard, the opening cylinder 81 stops contracting, and the robot 3 begins to fill and feed the material into the sterilization bag. After the feeding is completed, the adsorption block 83 stops generating negative pressure, and then the bag is sealed.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the labeling fixture 9 includes a labeling cylinder 91, a labeling plate 92, a labeling support plate 93, a labeling housing 94, a labeling fixing plate 95, and a tape fixture 96. The labeling fixing plate 95 is fastened to the packaging bracket 74, the labeling fixing plate 95 is fastened to the labeling housing 94, the labeling housing 94 is fastened to the labeling support plate 93, the labeling support plate 93 is fastened to the labeling cylinder 91, the labeling housing 94 has a cylinder hole on the side near the output end of the labeling cylinder 91, the output end of the labeling cylinder 91 passes through the cylinder hole and is fastened to the labeling plate 92, and the tape fixture 96 is fastened to the protective base 61.

[0036] The labeling fixing plate 95 serves as the main support device, supporting other components. The labeling support plate 93 is used to fix the labeling cylinder 91. When the sterilization bag needs labeling information and the sterilization bag needs to be pasted, the labeling cylinder 91 outputs displacement outward, driving the labeling plate 92 to move downward until the labeling plate 92 completely prints the information on the labeling plate 92 onto the sterilization bag. Then, the labeling cylinder 91 retracts, and the tape fixture 96 pastes the sterilization bag.

[0037] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the sterilization bag feeding fixture 10 includes a feeding rack 101, a moving roller 102, a feeding motor 103, a feeding plate 104, a feeding platform 105, a motor roller 106, and a fixed roller 107. The feeding rack 101 is fastened to the protective base 61, the moving roller 102 is fastened to the protective base 61, the feeding plate 104 is fastened to the protective base 61, and the feeding platform 105 is fastened to the protective base 61. The feeding platform 105 is provided with an installation slot, which is placed above the packaging bracket 74 away from the robot 3. The feeding plate 104 is fastened to the feeding motor 103, the output end of the feeding motor 103 is fastened to the motor roller 106, the motor roller 106 is rotatably connected to the feeding plate 104, and the feeding plate 104 is rotatably connected to the fixed roller 107.

[0038] The feeding platform 105 serves as the main workbench, and the feeding plate 104 serves as the main mounting plate for mounting the feeding motor 103, the motor roller 106, and the fixed roller 107. The feeding rack 101 serves as a storage device, responsible for providing sterilization bags and connecting them sequentially to the moving roller 102, the fixed roller 107, and the motor roller 106. The rotation of the feeding motor 103 drives the rotation of the motor roller 106, which in turn moves the sterilization bags. The movement of the sterilization bags then drives the rotation of the fixed roller 107 and the moving roller 102, thus achieving automatic feeding of the sterilization bags onto the feeding platform 105.

[0039] Working principle of the invention: The material hopper 1 releases the stored material into the vibrating feeder 2, which then vibrates to evenly distribute the material. The vision device 4 then detects the type of material. Based on the detection result, the robot 3 automatically selects the corresponding fixture from the quick-change station 5. After selecting the fixture, the vision device 4 again detects the loading position and transmits a signal to the robot 3 to load the material. Simultaneously, the feeding motor 103 rotates, driving the motor roller 106 to rotate. The rotation of the motor roller 106 moves the sterilization bag, and once the sterilization bag reaches the working position... The opening cylinder 81 outputs displacement outward, driving the adsorption block 83 to move. When the adsorption block 83 moves downward to the vicinity of the sterilization bag, it opens, generating negative pressure to adsorb onto the sterilization bag, opening it. Simultaneously, the opening cylinder 81 contracts, further enlarging the opening of the sterilization bag. Meanwhile, the vision device 4 detects the opening size. Once the opening size meets the filling standard, the opening cylinder 81 stops contracting, and the robot 3 begins filling and feeding material into the sterilization bag. After feeding is complete, the adsorption block 83 stops generating negative pressure. Then, the vision device 4 selects... Cutting and sealing are performed at appropriate cutting positions. The sealing cylinder 71 outputs displacement, driving the hot melt block 72 and sealing knife 73 to move until the hot melt block 72 and hot melt pad 75 abut, and the sealing knife 73 abuts the sterilization bag. The sealing cylinder 71 then stops outputting displacement, and the hot melt block 72 and hot melt pad 75 begin heating to perform heat-sealing on the sterilization bag. Heating stops after sealing is complete. Simultaneously, the cylinder 793 outputs displacement, driving the roller support 78 to move upwards. The upward movement of the roller support 78 causes the rolling wheel 77 to abut against the sterilization bag, and the sealing knife 73 moves along the rolling wheel. At point 77, the sterilization bag is cut, while the linear motor 791 moves linearly on the linear guide rail 792. The movement of the linear motor 791 drives the roller support 78 to move, which in turn drives the roller 77 to move in the mounting direction of the linear guide rail 792. This allows the sealing knife 73 to fully cut the sterilization bag. After the cutting and sealing are completed, the labeling cylinder 91 outputs displacement outward, causing the labeling plate 92 to move downward until the labeling plate 92 has completely printed the information on the labeling plate 92 onto the sterilization bag. Then, the labeling cylinder 91 retracts, and the tape fixture 96 attaches the sterilization bag.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
