Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical research and development technology, specifically to a device cleaning apparatus for pharmaceutical research and development. Background Technology
[0002] In pharmaceutical research and development, the cleanliness of laboratory equipment directly affects the accuracy of experimental data, the purity of drug components, and the safety of research and development. If the equipment contains residual drug solutions, impurities, or microorganisms from previous experiments, it may lead to deviations in experimental results, or even cause cross-contamination, delaying the research and development cycle or creating safety hazards. Therefore, equipment cleaning is a critical and fundamental step in pharmaceutical research and development.
[0003] The core flaw of existing technology:
[0004] 1. Inability to automatically record the number of times cleaning agents are used: Most current cleaning devices rely on manual recording of the frequency and cycle of cleaning agent use, which is prone to omissions and errors. Cleaning agents gradually become ineffective after repeated use, and the subjective nature of manually judging when to replace them often leads to a decline in cleaning ability due to untimely replacement, or waste of resources due to overly frequent replacement.
[0005] 2. Lack of methods for monitoring the turbidity of cleaning agents: The turbidity of cleaning agents is an important indicator of their cleaning ability, but existing equipment lacks real-time monitoring capabilities. Workers must visually inspect the cleaning agents to determine if they have become ineffective, which is not only inaccurate but may also lead to overlooking potential contamination risks due to visual errors, resulting in incomplete cleaning of equipment.
[0006] 3. Cleaning agent mixing relies on manual operation: In pharmaceutical research and development, different types of instruments (such as high-temperature resistant instruments and precision glass instruments) require specific ratios of cleaning agents (such as acidic cleaning agents and neutral descaling agents). Existing equipment requires manual weighing and mixing of cleaning agents, which is cumbersome and prone to mixing errors, affecting the cleaning effect and increasing labor costs and operational risks.
[0007] The aforementioned defects directly lead to multiple problems: First, the cleaning ability is unstable, affecting the cleanliness of instruments and thus interfering with the accuracy of drug development data; second, there are many manual operation steps, increasing the labor intensity of staff and posing safety hazards due to improper operation (such as contact of cleaning agents with the skin, misjudging the timing of replacement); third, the cleaning efficiency is low, which cannot meet the high-frequency and high-precision instrument cleaning needs in pharmaceutical research and development, indirectly restricting the research and development progress. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device cleaning apparatus for pharmaceutical research and development, so as to at least solve the problems of existing technologies that cannot automatically record the number of uses, cannot automatically monitor the turbidity of the cleaning agent, and cannot automatically mix the cleaning agent.

The outer wall of the driving column has driving grooves on both the front and rear sides, and the sliding pillar is slidably and appropriately inserted into the right side of the inner cavity of the driving groove.
[0013] Preferably, in order to control the opening and closing of the ball valve, a second gear is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod and locked by a set screw, wherein the second gear meshes with the first gear.
[0014] Preferably, to automatically add cleaning agent to the ultrasonic cleaner in a certain proportion, the dispensing mechanism includes: a liquid tank, a liquid level window, a liquid inlet, a mounting bracket, a jacket, a piston cylinder, a piston, a piston rod, an electric telescopic rod, a first one-way valve, a delivery pipe, and a second one-way valve. The liquid tanks are multiple in number, equidistantly arranged at the rear bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner along the left-right direction. A liquid level window is provided on the rear side of each liquid tank along the up-down direction, and a liquid inlet is provided on the rear top of each liquid tank.

[0015] Preferably, in order to monitor the turbidity of the cleaning agent in the ultrasonic cleaner, the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner is further provided with a turbidity sensor and a display.

[0016] Preferably, after the basket containing the instrument is placed into the ultrasonic cleaner, the weight of the basket causes the support rod to move down and compress the spring. The support rod then drives the first pressing rod to press the electronic counter's counting button, causing the electronic counter to increment by one, thus recording the number of uses.
[0017] Preferably, when the turbidity of the cleaning agent is high or the electronic counter count reaches the threshold, the rotating rod is rotated to drive the second gear and the drive column to rotate. The second gear meshes with the first gear to make the ball valve counter count return to zero.
[0018] The instrument cleaning device for pharmaceutical research and development proposed in this invention has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. This invention uses a mesh basket to store instruments to be cleaned, and a support rod to support the mesh basket containing the instruments. Under the gravity of the mesh basket, the support rod can be pressed to move the first pressing rod downward. The first pressing rod presses the counting button of the electronic counter, causing the count on the electronic counter to increment by one. Thus, the electronic counter can record the number of times the cleaning agent is used in the ultrasonic cleaner.
[0020] 2. This invention allows for the storage of different cleaning agents in a liquid tank. Clean water is supplied to the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner via a water inlet pipe. The cleaning agent is prepared according to the type of instrument being cleaned. The electric telescopic rod corresponding to the required cleaning agent is activated. This electric telescopic rod, through a piston rod, moves the piston upwards, drawing the cleaning agent from the liquid tank into the piston cylinder's inner cavity under pressure. This continues until the electric telescopic rod moves the piston to a suitable height. Then, the electric telescopic rod again moves the piston downwards, pushing the cleaning agent from the piston cylinder's inner cavity into the ultrasonic cleaner's inner cavity through the bottom of the piston cylinder. The cleaning agent mixes with the water in the ultrasonic cleaner, completing the cleaning agent preparation. The ultrasonic cleaner is then used to clean the instruments in the basket's inner cavity.
[0021] 3. This invention utilizes a turbidity sensor to detect the turbidity of the cleaning agent and displays the turbidity value on a display. When the cleaning agent in the ultrasonic cleaner needs to be replaced, rotating the rotating rod drives the drive column and the second gear to rotate. The rotation of the second gear, in conjunction with the first gear, causes the valve rod to rotate, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the ball valve. The rotation of the drive column, through the cooperation between the drive groove and the sliding column, causes the sleeve to move the second pressing rod to the left until the second pressing rod presses the electronic counter reset button, thus clearing the value recorded on the electronic counter and starting a new calculation cycle. At this time, the ball valve is fully open, allowing the cleaning agent in the ultrasonic cleaner to be discharged from the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner through the drain pipe.
[0022] 4. This device automatically records the number of times the cleaning agent is used and intelligently monitors the turbidity of the cleaning agent, ensuring that the cleaning agent is always in a highly efficient cleaning state. This avoids the decline in cleaning ability caused by the aging or improper replacement of the cleaning agent, which would affect the cleanliness during the drug development process. It significantly improves the cleaning efficiency and quality of instruments, and ensures the safety of staff and the accuracy of the drug development process. Attached Figure Description

First one-way valve 810 The first one-way valve 810, which is prior art, is located at the bottom of the outer wall of the piston cylinder 86 and will not be described in detail here. The first one-way valve 810 is used to control the flow direction of the cleaning agent. The top end of the infusion tube 811 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the piston cylinder 86, and the bottom end of the infusion tube 811 extends into the bottom of the inner cavity of the liquid tank 81. The second one-way valve 812 is located in the middle of the outer wall of the infusion tube 811 and is prior art. The second one-way valve 812 is used to control the flow direction of the cleaning agent.
[0040] Its detailed connection method is a well-known technology in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.
[0041] Step 1: During use, the cleaning agent is supplied into the inner cavity of the liquid tank 81 through the liquid inlet 83, ensuring that the cleaning agent in each liquid tank 81 is different. The mesh basket 10 is removed from the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner 1. The electronic counter 15 is activated, and clean water is supplied into the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 through the water inlet pipe 3 until an appropriate amount of clean water is stored in the ultrasonic cleaner 1. The appropriate cleaning agent is selected according to the type of equipment to be cleaned. The electric telescopic rod 89 corresponding to the liquid tank 81 containing the cleaning agent is activated. The electric telescopic rod 89 drives the piston rod 88 upward, which in turn drives the piston 87 upward. Under pressure, the cleaning agent in the liquid tank 81 flows into the piston cylinder 86 through the infusion pipe 811. The piston 87 moves to a suitable height according to the required amount of cleaning agent. At this time, the piston cylinder 86 contains an appropriate amount of cleaning agent. The electric telescopic rod 89 is activated again, and the electric telescopic rod 89 pushes the piston rod 88 to move the piston 87 downward. Thus, the piston 87 can squeeze the cleaning agent in the piston cylinder 86 through the bottom of the piston cylinder 86 into the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner 1, and mix with the clean water in the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 to complete the cleaning agent preparation.
[0042] Step 2: Place the instruments to be cleaned into the inner cavity of the mesh basket 10, put the mesh basket 10 into the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner 1, and make the support rod 9 insert into the inner cavity of the hook 11. The support rod 9 can support the mesh basket 10, so that the support rod 9 can be pressed down by the gravity of the mesh basket 10, and the spring 6 is compressed and deformed elastically. The downward movement of the support rod 9 can drive the first pressing rod 12 to move down, so that the first pressing rod 12 can press the electronic counter counting button 13, causing the count on the electronic counter 15 to increment by one. The electronic counter 15 can then record the number of times the cleaning agent is used in the ultrasonic cleaner 1.
[0043] Step 3: The turbidity sensor 20 can detect the turbidity of the cleaning agent and display the turbidity value on the display 21. When the turbidity sensor 20 detects a high level of turbidity in the cleaning agent, or when the value recorded on the electronic counter 15 reaches a certain value, the cleaning agent in the ultrasonic cleaner 1 needs to be replaced. Rotating the rotating rod 76 drives the second gear 79 and the drive column 77 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the second gear 79, in conjunction with the first gear 19, drives the valve stem 18 to rotate. Thus, the rotation of the valve stem 18 controls the opening and closing of the ball valve 17, and the drive column 77 rotates counterclockwise. The rotation of the needle can drive the drive groove 78 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the drive groove 78 and the sliding column 75 can drive the sleeve 74 to move the second pressing rod 73 to the left until the second pressing rod 73 presses the electronic counter reset button 16, thereby resetting the count on the electronic counter 15 to zero and entering a new recording cycle. At this time, the ball valve 17 is fully opened, and the cleaning agent in the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 can flow into the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 through the drain pipe 4. After the cleaning agent in the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 is emptied, the rotating rod 76 is rotated clockwise to make the movement in the opposite direction.
[0044] This device automatically records the number of times the cleaning agent is used and intelligently monitors the turbidity of the cleaning agent, ensuring that the cleaning agent is always in a highly efficient cleaning state. It avoids the decline in cleaning ability caused by the aging or improper replacement of the cleaning agent, which would affect the cleanliness during the drug development process. It significantly improves the cleaning efficiency and quality of instruments, and protects the safety of staff and the accuracy of the drug development process.
