Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a microneedle template conveying device and method for producing a traditional Chinese medicine microneedle patch. Background Art

[0002] The needle body of the Chinese medicine microneedle patch is tiny, usually 25 to 2000 microns in length, and can effectively pierce the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. There are no pain nerves in the stratum corneum, so the patient will basically not feel pain or only a slight pain during use.

[0003] The production process of Chinese medicine microneedle patch includes: mold preparation, microneedle raw material infusion, microneedle raw material curing and molding, and microneedle patch demoulding. After the molded Chinese medicine microneedle patch is demoulded from the microneedle template, the microneedle template needs to be transported to the microneedle raw material infusion equipment through the conveying device again for microneedle raw material infusion operation.

[0004] However, after demolding, the surface of the microneedle template will have residual raw materials of Chinese medicine microneedle patch that have not been completely detached, making the surface of the microneedle template uneven. When the microneedle raw materials are poured again, pit defects will appear on the surface of the molded Chinese medicine microneedle patch, which will cause the Chinese medicine microneedle patch to be unable to be used normally, resulting in a waste of raw materials. Therefore, the staff is required to manually clean the surface of the microneedle template one by one, which not only increases the workload of the staff, but also the speed of manual cleaning cannot meet the use requirements of the microneedle template.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention proposes a microneedle template conveying device for producing a traditional Chinese medicine microneedle patch, which can automatically clean the microneedle template during the conveying process. Summary of the invention

[0064] The power unit includes a motor mounting frame fixedly arranged on the top of the support platform 4 , a servo motor is fixedly arranged inside the motor mounting frame, and the output shaft of the servo motor rotates through the motor mounting frame and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 51 .

[0065] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for conveying a microneedle template for producing a traditional Chinese medicine microneedle patch, and a conveying device for a microneedle template for producing a traditional Chinese medicine microneedle patch, the method comprising the following steps:

[0066] Step 1: First, manually place the demoulded microneedle template in the microneedle patch template carrier 2 on the top of the conveyor belt 1 in turn. The conveyor belt 1 transports the microneedle template to the transfer mechanism 5 at a uniform and low speed. When the microneedle patch template carrier 2 loaded with the microneedle template approaches the transport robot 3, the transport robot 3 automatically identifies the position of the microneedle template in the microneedle patch template carrier 2, and automatically adsorbs the microneedle template, and then places the microneedle template in the corresponding position in the transport mechanism 5 in turn; the specific process is: the microneedle patch template carrier 2 is fixedly arranged at equal distances on the conveyor belt body The motor drives the conveyor belt body to rotate at a low and uniform speed. When the microneedle patch template carrier 2 loaded with the microneedle template reaches the preset distance of the handling robot 3, the position sensor on the handling robot 3 can capture the position of the microneedle template closest to itself, so as to use the suction nozzle at its end to adsorb the microneedle template, so that the microneedle template is separated from the microneedle patch template carrier 2, and the adsorbed template is stably placed in the limiting ring 537 on the top of the support plate 535. The structure and working principle of the handling robot 3 are existing known technologies and have been widely used, so they will not be repeated here.

[0067] Step 2: The power unit drives the transport mechanism 5 to rotate at a low and uniform speed in the counterclockwise direction. When the microneedle patch template carrier 2 loaded with the microneedle template passes through the cleaning mechanism 6, the cleaning mechanism 6 blows the microneedle patch raw material attached to the microneedle template to separate the residual microneedle patch raw material from the microneedle template; the specific process is: then, the servo motor continues to drive the turntable 51 to rotate at a uniform speed, and the support plate 535 loaded with the microneedle template gradually approaches the position of the cleaning mechanism 6, and the hemispherical guide head 533 gradually slides up along the inclined surface of one end of the arc-shaped top plate 617 When the lifting rod 532 is gradually lifted to the limit position, the top of the support plate 535 just contacts the rubber ring at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder 621 and squeezes the rubber ring, and the friction between the support plate 535 and the cleaning cylinder 621 drives the cleaning executive component 62 to move as a whole. Since the cleaning executive component 62 is connected to the sliding sleeve 614, the cleaning executive component 62 moves along the arc track where the arc guide rail 1 612 and the arc guide rail 2 613 are located; since the gear 625 and the arc rack 616 are meshed with each other, Therefore, when the cleaning execution component 62 rotates relative to the arc-shaped rack 616, the arc-shaped rack 616 drives the gear 625 to rotate, and the low speed input by the gear 625 to the transmission 624 is output at a high speed after being accelerated by the transmission 624, so that the transmission shaft 627 can rotate at a high speed. The suction force generated by the rapid rotation of the fan blade 628 sucks the external air into the cleaning cylinder 621 through the air inlet 623, and the high-speed airflow flushes the surface of the microneedle template. At the same time, the cleaning head component 629 uses the bristles at the bottom thereof to continuously clean the microneedle template. The surface of the plate causes the raw material of the microneedle patch attached to the surface of the microneedle template to be separated and discharged to the outside together with the air flow through the exhaust hole 536 on the surface of the support plate 535; when the hemispherical guide head 533 slides down along the slope surface at the other end of the arc-shaped top plate 617, the elastic force of the spring 1 534 pushes the lifting rod 532 to drop rapidly, and the support plate 535 and the cleaning cylinder 621 are separated. At the same time, the elastic force of the spring 2 615 pushes the sliding sleeve 614 to return to its original position, so that the cleaning execution component 62 returns to its original position along with the sliding sleeve 614;

[0068] Step 3: The cleaned microneedle template continues to move counterclockwise away from the cleaning mechanism 6 and gradually approaches the microneedle patch raw material injection device. When the microneedle template and the injection port of the microneedle patch raw material injection device are opposite, the microneedle patch raw material is injected instantly. After the microneedle patch raw material in the microneedle template solidifies, it can be demoulded, and after cutting and trimming, the next step of processing can be carried out. The injection process of the microneedle patch raw material injection device is an existing known technology, which is well known to people in this technical field and will not be repeated here.

[0069] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
