Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0022] The traditional automated positioning sterilization equipment in the related technology is large in size and takes a long time to produce the sterilization medium, which is not suitable for the current technical problems in the field of cell and gene therapy.

[0023] In order to solve the above technical problems, Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an automated positioning sterilization system, including: an injection water tank 1, a steam generator 2, a water pump 3, a hydrogen peroxide tank 4, a VHP generator 5, and a sterilization site 6; the injection water tank 1 is connected to the steam generator 2 and the water pump 3 respectively through pipelines, and the steam generator 2 and the water pump 3 are connected to the sterilization site 6 through pipelines; the hydrogen peroxide tank 4 is connected to the VHP generator 5 through a pipeline, and the VHP generator 5 is connected to the sterilization site 6 through a pipeline. The embodiment of the present application miniaturizes the steam generator 2 and the VHP generator 5, and the system can generate high-temperature steam and VHP in a short time, quickly reach the sterilization site 6 through the pipeline, clean and sterilize the sterilization site 6, and then use clean air to quickly blow away the residual water vapor and hydrogen peroxide in the sterilization site 6, so as to quickly sterilize the specific site and complete the sterilization work in a short time.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, it also includes an air filter assembly, an air pump 9, and a sterilizing air filter 10. External air enters the air filter assembly, and the air filter assembly is connected to the air pump 9 through a pipeline. The air pump 9 is connected to the sterilizing air filter 10 through a pipeline, and the sterilizing air filter 10 is connected to the sterilization site 6 through a pipeline. Specifically, the air filter assembly includes an initial air filter 7 and a middle air filter 8. The initial air filter 7 and the middle air filter 8 are connected through a pipeline. External air is filtered by the initial air filter 7 and the middle air filter 8. The air pump 9 applies power, and the filtered air is introduced into the sterilizing air filter 10, and then enters the sterilization site 6 to blow away the residual moisture and hydrogen peroxide in the sterilization site 6.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, it also includes a waste water tank 12, which is connected to the sterilization site 6 through a pipeline. The waste water tank 12 is used to receive waste liquid from the sterilization site 6.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, it also includes a sterilizing filter 11, which is installed between the sterilization site 6 and the wastewater tank 12. The sterilizing filter 11 can prevent the wastewater and waste gas from flowing back and contaminating the sterilization site 6.

[0027] Working principle of the automatic positioning sterilization system in this application embodiment:

[0028] The sterilization site 6 is connected to the pipeline to be sterilized, and a closed space is formed after the connection is completed. When the water pump 3 provides power, the injection water in the injection water tank 1 flows into the sterilization site 6 to clean the sterilization site 6. The cleaning time lasts for 10 seconds, and then the water pump 3 is turned off, and the air pump 9 is turned on to start working, clean air is introduced into the sterilization site 6, and the distilled water remaining in the sterilization site 6 is discharged into the waste water tank 12.

[0029] While cleaning the sterilization site 6, the steam generator 2 inhales the injection water, starts the rapid heating function, heats the injection water to form high-temperature steam, and passes it into the sterilization site 6 for high-temperature disinfection for about 1 minute, then turns off the steam generator 2 and stops working, and turns on the air pump 9 to start working, passing clean air into the sterilization site 6, and draining the distilled water remaining in the sterilization site 6 into the waste water tank 12. Exemplarily, the heating power of the steam generator 2 should meet the needs, that is, 5 mL of injection water can be converted into water vapor within 30 seconds, and the heating state can be maintained until a stop signal is received.

[0030] While steam sterilizing the sterilization site 6, hydrogen peroxide flows into the VHP generator 5, the VHP generator 5 is turned on to work and generate VHP, after the steam sterilization is completed, the VHP enters the sterilization site 6 for sterilization, which lasts for about 1 minute, after the sterilization is completed, the VHP generator 5 is turned off, and the air pump 9 is turned on to start working, and the VHP remaining in the sterilization site 6 is exhausted to complete the sterilization, after which the sterilization site 6 can be separated from the sterilization system. Exemplarily, the VHP generator 5 should be able to produce more than 3000ppm of VHP to achieve a sterilization effect.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
