[0066] A method for detecting sealing process defects for freeze-dried drug bottles includes:

[0067] Method 1: Move the freeze-dried medicine bottle to the rotating disk 20 and the rotating disk 1 19 through the conveyor belt 3, then control the rotating disk 20 to rotate, start the screw transmission assembly to drive the lifting block 33 to move downward, so that the sleeve 42 is sleeved on the bottle mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle, and the impurities on the surface of the bottle mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle are cleaned, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent sealing detection;

[0068] Method 2: After the surface of the mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle is cleaned, the rotating disk 20 and the rotating disk 19 are controlled to rotate again, and then the freeze-dried medicine bottle is driven to rotate to the bottom of the inflation component, and the air tightness of the freeze-dried medicine bottle under low temperature is tested by the inflation component;

[0069] Specifically, when the lifting block 33 is lowered to a certain extent, the hollow cylinder 47 is started to extend so that the central tube 66 enters into the freeze-dried medicine bottle, so that the sealing cover shell 50 covers the bottle mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle, and the sealing groove 67 clamps the bottle mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle to ensure the sealing. The first air pump 49 is started to pump the gas in the low-temperature gas cavity into the central tube 66 through the inflation tube 45, and enters the interior of the freeze-dried medicine bottle through the through hole 64. At this time, the air pressure on the inflation tube 45 is detected by the pressure gauge 48, and the air pressure data is transmitted to the control platform 2. The maximum air pressure value is set in the control platform 2. When the air pressure reaches the set air pressure value, no more air is introduced, and the pressure is kept constant for a period of time. During the constant pressure process, if the pressure of the pressure gauge 48 becomes smaller, it means that the sealing of the freeze-dried medicine bottle is poor.

[0070] Method 3: After the low-temperature test is completed, a subsequent air tightness test is performed under high temperature conditions to determine the quality of the freeze-dried drug bottle;

[0071] Specifically, during high-temperature detection, the freeze-dried medicine bottle is moved to the bottom of the sealed cover shell 53 by controlling the rotation of the rotating disk 20 and the rotating disk 19, and the electric telescopic rod 52 is started to extend so that the sealing groove 69 on the sealed cover shell 53 covers the bottle mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle. At this time, the second air pump 56 is started to pump the high-temperature gas in the high-temperature gas chamber into the freeze-dried medicine bottle through the inflation tube 54. The air pressure on the inflation tube 54 is detected by the barometer 55 and transmitted to the control platform 2. When the air pressure reaches the set air pressure, the constant pressure is maintained for a period of time to judge the change in the air pressure value. When the air pressure decreases, it means that the air tightness of the freeze-dried medicine bottle under the high-temperature gas is poor.

[0072] Method 4: After the freeze-dried medicine bottles are inspected, the freeze-dried medicine bottles are moved to the conveyor belt 3 through the guide assembly;

[0073] Specifically, the rotating disk 20 and the rotating disk 19 are controlled to rotate again to move the freeze-dried medicine bottle to the guide column 8, and the first motor 12 is started to drive the guide column 8 to rotate. The freeze-dried medicine is moved from the limiting groove 1 21 and the limiting groove 2 22 to the gap 14 through the friction of the rubber pad 11, and then further moved to the conveyor belt 3 to transmit the freeze-dried medicine bottle.

[0074] It should be noted that when the rotating disk 20 and the rotating disk 19 rotate to drive the freeze-dried medicine bottle to move, the brush head 30 is always in contact with the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle to prevent the freeze-dried medicine bottle from falling, and because the roller 1 70 and the roller 2 71 are provided, when the freeze-dried medicine bottle follows the rotation, the cooperation of the roller 1 70 and the roller 2 71 with the brush head 30 can control the freeze-dried medicine bottle to rotate in the limiting groove 1 21 and the limiting groove 22, so that the other surfaces of the freeze-dried medicine bottle are in contact with the brush head 30, so as to better clean the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0075] Method 2 includes the following specific steps:

[0076] Method 2-a: When the freeze-dried drug bottle is tested at low temperature, the surface of the freeze-dried drug bottle is cleaned by the extrusion component to ensure the cleanliness of the bottle surface. When cleaning the surface of the freeze-dried drug bottle, it is further determined whether the freeze-dried drug bottle has cracks, so as to determine the quality of the freeze-dried drug bottle at low temperature;

[0077] Specifically, when there is no air leakage during the constant pressure process, the lighting lamp 65 is turned on to illuminate the inside of the freeze-dried medicine bottle to make the freeze-dried medicine bottle transparent, and the external camera 58 is used to detect whether there are cracks on the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle, and the signal is transmitted to the control platform 2 to be recorded and marked as the first image. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 24 is started to extend so that the brush head 30 moves on the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle, which can clean the impurities on the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle and ensure the cleanliness of the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle;

[0078] When the brush head 30 moves on the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle, the telescopic drive is controlled to extend so that the brush head 30 is close to the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle for squeezing. The camera 58 is used again to detect whether there are cracks on the surface of the freeze-dried medicine bottle, and the image is marked as the second image through the control platform 2. The first image is compared with the second image. When there are no cracks in the first image and cracks in the second image, it means that cracks are generated in the freeze-dried medicine bottle when squeezed by the brush head 30, indicating that the freeze-dried medicine bottle is prone to problems under low temperature conditions. The freeze-dried medicine bottle is marked as Q. When there are cracks in the first image, no subsequent squeezing work is required and it can be directly removed. When there are no cracks in both the first image and the second image, it indicates that the freeze-dried medicine bottle is not affected under low temperature conditions, and the freeze-dried medicine bottle is marked as W.

[0079] Method 2-b: While detecting whether cracks are generated in the freeze-dried medicine bottle at low temperature, the pressure gauge 48 detects the air pressure on the inflation tube 45 in real time to further determine the sealing performance of the bottle mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle;

[0080] Specifically, when the air pressure of the freeze-dried drug bottle marked as Q becomes low, it means that the freeze-dried drug bottle is of poor quality and can be directly removed. If the air pressure of the freeze-dried drug bottle marked as Q does not change, it can enter the next process;

[0081] When the air pressure of a freeze-dried medicine bottle marked as W becomes low, the freeze-dried medicine bottle will be marked as yellow W. If the air pressure of the freeze-dried medicine bottle marked as W does not change, it means that the quality of the freeze-dried medicine bottle is good under low temperature conditions and subsequent high-temperature testing can be carried out.

[0082] Method 3 includes the following specific steps:

[0083] Method 3-a: When the sealing performance of the freeze-dried drug bottle is poor under high-temperature gas, the quality of the freeze-dried drug bottle is judged in combination with low-temperature gas detection;

[0084] Specifically, when the air pressure of the freeze-dried medicine bottle marked as W drops under the condition of high-temperature gas detection, if the gas sensor 68 does not detect gas, it means that the freeze-dried medicine bottle is broken when the low-temperature to high-temperature transition is performed, indicating that the quality of the freeze-dried medicine bottle is poor. If the gas sensor 68 detects gas, it means that the mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle is deformed, resulting in a crack between the sealing cover 2 53 and the mouth of the freeze-dried medicine bottle, thereby gas leakage;

[0085] When the freeze-dried drug bottle marked with yellow W does not drop in pressure during high-temperature gas detection, it proves that the mouth of the freeze-dried drug bottle is deformed during low-temperature gas detection. During high-temperature gas detection, the freeze-dried drug bottle recovers due to the influence of temperature, indicating that there is a problem with the freeze-dried drug bottle in the low-temperature gas state. At this time, the freeze-dried drug bottle is marked to facilitate subsequent staff to deal with it;

[0086] It should be added that in subsequent work, low-temperature air pressure detection and high-temperature air pressure detection can be carried out simultaneously to improve the detection timeliness. When the extrusion component is working, low-temperature gas and high-temperature gas can be squeezed at the same time to detect the freeze-dried medicine bottle. When the high-temperature gas is detected and the gas in the freeze-dried medicine bottle is not leaking, the air pressure detected by the pressure gauge 2 55 suddenly increases when the extrusion component is working, indicating that the gas inside the freeze-dried medicine bottle is squeezed into the inflation tube 2 54, causing the air pressure detected by the pressure gauge 2 55 to increase, indicating that the freeze-dried medicine bottle has a large degree of deformation under high temperature conditions, indicating that the plasticity of the freeze-dried medicine bottle is poor.
