[0002] The high-temperature tunnel oven used by pharmaceutical manufacturers is mainly used for high-temperature sterilization of sterile products such as vials. The tunnel oven heating elements and high-efficiency filters are installed on the top of the oven, and the interior provides a high-temperature clean space. For sterile products, the high-temperature tunnel oven is one of the important equipment to provide sterility assurance.
[0003] The hot air of the tunnel drying oven is filtered through a high-efficiency filter to remove pollutants such as fine dust, bacteria and viruses, ensuring the dry quality of the material surface and the sanitation of the processing environment. After the high-temperature and high-efficiency filter is installed on the equipment, it is necessary to determine whether its installation meets the requirements and whether there is any leakage. Therefore, leak detection of the high-temperature and high-efficiency filter is a necessary measure to determine whether the tunnel drying oven meets the requirements. However, due to the narrow space between the high-efficiency filter and the conveyor belt of the tunnel drying oven, it is quite time-consuming and laborious to perform a leak detection scan with a particle counter. It requires thin personnel to drill into the gap in the middle and conduct a slow scan with a handheld scanning head, which is inefficient.

[0040] The mounting bracket 3 is fixed to the lower surface of the longitudinal motion structure 1 and can be adjusted in height.
[0041] The transverse motion structure 2 carries the scanning head 4 of the particle counter. The scanning head 4 moves in the transverse and longitudinal directions through the cooperation of the longitudinal motion structure 1 and the transverse motion structure 2, thereby achieving a comprehensive scan of the high-efficiency filter.
[0042] Further, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the longitudinal motion structure 1 is a ball screw structure, including: a longitudinal mounting base 101, a first screw 102, a first nut slider 103, two guide rails 104 and a first servo motor 105;
[0043] The longitudinal mounting base 101 serves as the main structure of the longitudinal motion structure 1 and is used to support the entire longitudinal motion structure 1;
[0044] The first lead screw 102 is a long threaded rod; the first lead screw 102 is arranged along the longitudinal direction and is rotatably connected to the longitudinal mounting base 101;
[0045] The lateral motion structure 2 is installed on the upper surface of the first nut slider 103; the first nut slider 103 is a slider with a nut, which can move along the first screw 102; the first nut slider 103 is mounted on the first screw 102 and is slidably connected to the guide rail 104; the first nut slider 103 is connected to the longitudinal mounting base 101 through the guide rail 104, and the first screw 102 passes through the first nut slider 103 and is connected to the first nut slider 103 through a nut.
[0046] Two guide rails 104 are arranged longitudinally and symmetrically on both sides of the first lead screw 102. The guide rails 104 are fixed on the longitudinal mounting base 101. The guide rails 104 support the first nut slider 103 and the lateral motion structure 2 mounted thereon. At the same time, the guide rails 104 also provide guidance for the first nut slider 103.
[0047] The first servo motor 105 is fixed to the longitudinal mounting base 101 and connected to one end of the first lead screw 102 . The first servo motor 105 drives the first lead screw 102 to rotate. The rotation of the first lead screw 102 drives the first nut slider 103 to move along the guide rail 104 , thereby realizing the longitudinal movement of the lateral motion structure 2 .
[0048] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lateral motion structure 2 is fixed on the first nut slider 103 and is a ball screw structure similar to the longitudinal motion structure 1; it includes a lateral mounting base 201, a second screw 202, a second nut slider 203, a second servo motor 205 and two guide slide bars 204;
[0049] The transverse mounting base 201 serves as the main structure of the transverse motion structure 2 and is fixed above the first nut slider 103;
[0050] The second lead screw 202 is a long threaded rod; the second lead screw 202 is arranged in the horizontal direction and is rotatably connected to the horizontal mounting base 201;
[0051] The second nut slider 203 is sleeved on the second lead screw 202 and is slidably connected to the guide slider 204;
[0052] Two guide slide bars 204 are arranged in the transverse direction and symmetrically on both sides of the second lead screw 202. The guide slide bars 204 are fixed on the transverse mounting base 201 to provide guidance for the second nut slide block 203.
[0053] The second servo motor 205 is fixed on the transverse mounting base 201 and connected to one end of the second lead screw 202. The second servo motor 205 drives the second lead screw 202 to rotate. The rotation of the second lead screw 202 drives the second nut slider 203 to move along the guide slide rod 204, thereby driving the scanning head 4 to move horizontally.

[0059] These components work together to realize the automatic leak detection function of the tunnel oven high-efficiency filter. By precisely controlling the servo motor, the PLC controller can command the leak detection device to perform precise scanning under the high-temperature high-efficiency filter to detect whether there is a leak. The video probe records the entire process for subsequent analysis.
[0060] Working principle and usage process:
[0061] Place the leak detection device under the high temperature and high efficiency filter, and adjust the height of the mounting bracket 3 to ensure that the particle counter scanning head 4 maintains a distance of 5 cm to 10 cm from the high efficiency filter.
[0062] The moving speed of the longitudinal moving structure 1 (about 5 cm / s) is set by the PLC controller, and the moving speed of the transverse moving structure 2 is adjusted to meet different leak detection requirements.
[0063] The particle counter is turned on, and the second servo motor 205 controls the transverse motion structure 2 to drive the scanning head 4 to move and scan in the transverse direction. After scanning, the longitudinal motion structure 1 then drives the transverse motion structure 2 to move a certain distance in the longitudinal direction, and then moves and scans in the transverse direction again.
[0064] Repeat the above steps until all high-efficiency filters are covered and the leak detection is completed.
[0065] After the leak test is completed, the performance of the HEPA filter can be evaluated by analyzing the video recording and the data from the particle counter.
[0066] Through the above process, the automatic leak detection device for high efficiency filter of the tunnel drying oven of the present patent application can effectively detect the potential leakage of the high efficiency filter, and ensure the cleanliness of the tunnel drying oven and the quality of the sterile product. This automated leak detection method not only improves the leak detection efficiency, but also reduces the difficulty and risk of manual operation.
