[0093] As described in the background technology, in the related technology, when producing products such as vials, cartridges, and prefilled bottles, there are high requirements for the cleanliness and sterility of the containers, and a laminar flow system is usually used to purify the production environment. However, the existing container loading device will pass over the top of the container opening during the loading process, which will block the laminar flow. After the container loading device blocks the laminar flow, the laminar flow cannot clean the environment where the container is located. In addition, the laminar flow will blow on the container loading device. Since the top of the container is open, foreign objects such as dust and debris on the container loading device will be blown into the container, which will make the inside of the container easily contaminated by microorganisms or other contaminants.

[0094] In view of the above technical problems, the present application proposes a container loading device, which includes a conveying assembly, a bearing, a driving assembly and an actuator. The conveying assembly is used to transport the container on the nesting plate to the loading position; the bearing is used to receive the container; the driving assembly is arranged on the side of the conveying assembly; the driving assembly has two driving assemblies, which are respectively a first driving assembly and a second driving assembly; the actuator has two actuators, which are respectively a first actuator and a second actuator; a placement hole for placing the container is formed on the nesting plate; the first actuator is connected to the first driving assembly, the first driving assembly drives the first actuator to move, and the first actuator takes the container at the loading position out of the placement hole; the second actuator is connected to the second driving assembly On the moving component, the second driving component drives the second actuator to move, the second actuator takes the container off the first actuator, and the second actuator places the container on the supporting member at the material receiving position, so as to complete the loading; in the process that the first actuator and the second actuator move the container at the loading position to the supporting member at the material receiving position, the first actuator and the second actuator are not located above the top of the container, so that the first actuator and the second actuator can be prevented from blocking the laminar flow and interfering with the laminar flow above the container, so that the laminar flow can ensure the cleanliness of the environment where the container is located, and the objects on the first actuator and the second actuator can be prevented from being blown into the container, thereby reducing the possibility of contamination inside the container and making the loading process of the container more in line with regulations.

[0095] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

The second actuator removes the container from the first actuator, and the second actuator places the container on the carrier at the material receiving position.

[0104] In the process of the first actuator and the second actuator moving the container at the loading position to the carrier at the receiving position, the first actuator and the second actuator are not located above the top of the container. Specifically, in the process of the first actuator and the second actuator moving the container at the loading position to the carrier at the receiving position, when the actuator carries the container, the actuator itself will not have a structure above the top of the container, and when the first actuator or the second actuator does not carry the container, the first actuator and the second actuator will not be located above the top of the container.
