[0133] The multiple disposable sterile bags 81 are carried and conveyed by the finished product conveying component 6, that is, conveyed to the downstream production line for subsequent production and packaging.
[0134] It should be particularly noted that before the consumables conveying assembly 4 sequentially conveys the multiple consumables package bodies to the filling position and sequentially performs cell packaging, the process also includes:
[0135] Place multiple consumable loading boxes 41 containing consumable pack bodies on the first conveyor belt unit of the consumable conveying assembly 4 in sequence, and hang the consumable pack dispensing heads 83 of the consumable pack bodies on the consumable support frame 44 of the consumable conveying assembly 4 in sequence;
[0136] The plurality of consumable package bodies are connected to the plurality of liquid separation pipelines 31 of the liquid separation supply assembly 3 in a one-to-one correspondence, specifically, they are connected one by one manually.
[0137] Furthermore, the process of pumping the liquid in the sterile storage bag into each disposable sterile bag 81 of the consumables package body by the filling component 5 includes:
[0138] The consumable lifting cylinder 422 lifts a consumable loading box 41 at the front end of the first conveyor unit, and then the consumable pushing cylinder 421 pushes the consumable loading box 41 and transfers it to the top of the consumable receiving unit. During this process, the lifting drive mechanism 431 of the consumable receiving unit drives the lifting support plate 10 to rise, and the lifting support plate 10 absorbs the consumable loading box 41 through the vacuum suction cup 432;
[0139] The lifting drive mechanism 431 drives the lifting support plate 10 to descend until the consumable package body in the consumable loading box 41 is located at the heat sealing cutting position;
[0140] The consumable fixing cylinder of the consumable fixing unit extends out of the moving end and is inserted between the heat sealing pipelines 82 of the consumable package body;
[0141] It should be noted that when the horizontal pipeline above the heat-sealing pipeline 82 is blocked by the consumable fixing cylinder and cannot continue to move downward, the lifting support plate 10 continues to descend until the heat-sealing pipeline 82 is straightened.
[0142] The lifting drive mechanism 431 drives the lifting support plate 10 to continue to descend until the consumable package body in the consumable loading box 41 is located at the filling position. At this time, the consumable loading box 41 is placed on the second conveyor belt unit of the finished product conveying assembly 6;
[0143] The multiple heat-sealed pipelines 82 of the consumable package body are all clamped in a multi-channel peristaltic pump;
[0144] Clamp two of the liquid dispensing branches of the consumables package body in the first exhaust pinch valve and the second exhaust pinch valve respectively;
[0145] It should be pointed out that the above clamping is all performed manually.
[0146] Open the first exhaust pinch valve, close the second exhaust pinch valve, and open the liquid separation pinch valve at the same time, and perform the first exhaust through the multi-channel peristaltic pump until liquid appears in the heat-sealed pipeline 82 of the consumable package body;
[0147] Close the first exhaust pinch valve, open the second exhaust pinch valve, and simultaneously pump the liquid in the sterile storage bag into the multiple disposable sterile bags 81 of the consumables package body through the multi-channel peristaltic pump;
[0148] The first exhaust pinch valve is opened, the liquid separation pinch valve is closed, and the multi-channel peristaltic pump is reversed to perform the second exhaust;
[0149] When the liquid level sensor 53 detects that the liquid level in the disposable sterile bag 81 reaches a predetermined height, the multi-channel peristaltic pump stops working and simultaneously closes the second exhaust pinch valve to end exhaust.
[0150] Furthermore, the process of heat-sealing and cutting the consumable package body by the heat-sealing and cutting assembly 7 to seal and separate the plurality of disposable sterile bags 81 includes:
[0151] The positioning heating plate 71 of the heat sealing and cutting assembly 7 is heated up;
[0152] The inner clamping cylinder 455 and two outer clamping cylinders of the consumable fixing unit squeeze the multiple heat-sealing pipes 82 of the consumable package body;
[0153] The moving end of the inner clamping cylinder 455 is kept in an extended state (so that the heat-sealing pipeline 82 can be in a straight state to facilitate subsequent heat-sealing separation), and after the moving ends of the two outer clamping cylinders are retracted, the multiple heat-sealing pipelines 82 of the consumable package body are cut by the sliding cutting plate 72 of the heat-sealing cutting assembly 7;
[0154] The moving end of the inner clamping cylinder 455 is retracted, and the moving ends of the two outer clamping cylinders are extended, thereby completing the heat sealing cutting.
[0155] By using the above steps and in conjunction with the above system, the purpose of batch filling can be achieved, thereby effectively improving the filling rate of the cell fluid.
