Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vaccine equipment, in particular to vaccine assembly detection equipment. Background Art

[0002] Vaccines refer to biological products made from various pathogenic microorganisms for vaccination. Currently, there are more than 20 vaccines used to prevent human diseases. The production of vaccines must comply with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Pharmaceuticals. Moreover, any vaccine preparation must undergo rigorous testing to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, so as to maximize the effectiveness of the vaccination and minimize the adverse reactions after vaccination.

[0003] In the prior art, the testing of vaccines is usually completed before filling, and then the syringes filled with vaccines are assembled and packaged. This process is easily affected by various factors, such as air humidity and temperature, which cannot fully guarantee that the vaccines after filling can still meet the standards. In order to maximize the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, the filled vaccine should be tested again. In addition, during the assembly process of the vaccine, staff are required to participate in the operation, and manual operation may result in some problems such as miscalculation of the number of vaccine syringes and falling of vaccine syringes. Moreover, with the increase in demand for vaccines, excessive reliance on manual operation will also lead to a decrease in production efficiency. Utility Model Content

The vaccine assembly detection device is used to assemble a vaccine syringe 900 containing a vaccine preparation and detect the vaccine preparation in the vaccine syringe 900.

[0033] Specifically, the vaccine assembly and detection equipment includes an equipment body 10 , a distribution device 20 , a transmission device 30 , an assembly device 40 and a detector 50 .

[0034] The detector 50 is fixedly mounted on the device body 10 and close to the detection end 12. The detector 50 is configured to scan the vaccine preparation in the vaccine syringe 900, detect the vaccine preparation in the filled and assembled vaccine syringe 900, and further improve the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine preparation.

[0035] refer to Figure 1The device body 10 defines a conveying end 11 and a detection end 12, the distribution device 20 is installed on the device body 10 close to the conveying end 11, the detector 50 is arranged on the device body 10 close to the detection end 12, and the conveying device 30 is configured to drive the vaccine syringe 900 from the conveying end 11 to the detection end 12, so that the vaccine syringe 900 delivered to the detection end 12 is sent to the detector 50 for detection.

[0036] The dispensing device 20 includes a transport mechanism 21 , a gear mechanism 22 and a first transmission mechanism 23 .

[0037] The transport mechanism 21 is fixedly installed at a predetermined height of the device body 10, and the transport mechanism 21 includes at least four belt rotating parts 211 and at least two conveying parts 212. The belt rotating parts 211 are connected to the conveying parts 212, and the conveying parts 212 are installed end to end on the two belt rotating parts 211, and the two conveying parts 212 are installed in parallel. A channel 2101 is formed between the two conveying parts 212, and the channel 2101 defines an inlet 2102 and an outlet 2103, and the channel 2101 extends from the inlet 2102 to the outlet 2103, wherein the width of the channel 2101 is set to be smaller than the width of the syringe clamping part of the vaccine syringe 900, and is the same as the syringe diameter of the vaccine syringe 900, so that the vaccine syringe 900 can be stably transported from the inlet 2102 to the outlet 2103 in the channel 2101 and is not easy to fall.

[0038] In the initial state, the vaccine syringe 900 is vertically inserted in the channel 2101, and the syringe clamping part of the vaccine syringe 900 contacts the conveying member 212, so that the vaccine syringe 900 does not fall in the channel 2101. The motor drives the belt rotating member 211, which in turn drives the conveying member 212 to slide from the inlet 2102 to the outlet 2103 of the transport mechanism 21, so that the vaccine syringe 900 inserted in the channel 2101 is transported from the inlet 2102 to the outlet 2103 in sequence, and then distributed to the first conveying mechanism 23 through the gear mechanism 22.

[0039] In this embodiment, the belt rotating element 211 is implemented as a roller, and the conveying element 212 is implemented as a conveyor belt.

[0040] In another embodiment, the transport mechanism 21 is implemented to include a plurality of rollers, bearings and a frame, the plurality of rollers are mounted on the bearings, the bearings are mounted on the frame, and the vaccine syringe 900 is inserted into the gap formed between adjacent rollers. The rotation of the rollers drives the vaccine syringe 900 to move from the inlet 2102 of the transport mechanism 21 to the outlet 2103 to the gear mechanism 22.

[0041] The gear mechanism 22 includes a first gear plate 221 , a second gear plate 222 and a gear fixing housing 223 .

[0042] The gear fixing housing 223 is fixedly installed at a predetermined height of the equipment body 10 , which is equal to the predetermined height at which the transport mechanism 21 is installed, so that the vaccine syringe 900 transmitted to the outlet 2103 can be transferred to the gear mechanism 22 .

[0043] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The gear fixing housing 223 includes a top surface, three side surfaces perpendicular to the top surface, and an inclined surface inclined at a certain angle to the top surface. A motor is installed inside the gear fixing housing 223, and the motor drives the first gear plate 221 and the second gear plate 222 to rotate.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first gear plate 221 and the second gear plate 222 are configured as circular plates with serrations at the same intervals, the first gear plate 221 is rotatably embedded in the top surface of the gear fixing housing 223, and the second gear plate 222 is rotatably embedded in the inclined surface of the gear fixing housing 223, so that the angle formed by the upper surface of the first gear plate 221 and the upper surface of the second gear plate 222 is 90° to 180°, and at the same time, the edge of the second gear plate 222 is tangent to the edge of the first gear plate 221, so that when the first gear plate 221 and the second gear plate 222 rotate, the vaccine syringe 900 on the first gear plate 221 can be transferred to the second gear plate 222.

[0045] Furthermore, the serrations of the first gear disk 221 and the top surface of the gear fixing housing 223 form first needle tube placement holes 22101 with the same interval, and the serrations of the second gear disk 222 and the inclined surface of the gear fixing housing 223 form second needle tube placement holes 22201 with the same interval, and the syringe clamping portion of the vaccine syringe 900 can abut against the first needle tube placement hole 22101 and the second needle tube placement hole 22201.

[0046] The first conveying mechanism 23 is horizontally fixedly installed on the equipment body 10, and the first conveying mechanism 23 is arranged to be perpendicular to the rotation direction of the second gear plate 222 and slide away from the second gear plate 222, so that when the second gear plate 222 rotates, the vaccine syringe 900 on the second syringe placement hole 22201 is horizontally placed from the second gear plate 222 to the first conveying mechanism 23. At this time, the syringe direction of the vaccine syringe 900 on the first conveying mechanism 23 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first conveying mechanism 23.

[0047] The motor drives the first gear plate 221 and the second gear plate 222 to rotate, and the first needle tube placement hole 22101 on the first gear plate 221 is aligned with the outlet 2103, so that the vaccine needle tube 900 transported to the outlet 2103 is transferred to the second needle tube placement hole 22201. When the second needle tube placement hole 22201 on the first gear plate 221 and the second needle tube placement hole 22201 on the second gear plate 222 are aligned, the vaccine needle tube 900 in the first needle tube placement hole 22101 is transferred to the second needle tube placement hole 22201. During the rotation of the second gear plate 222, the vaccine needle tube 900 is transferred from the second needle tube placement hole 22201 to the first conveying mechanism 23 by gravity.

[0048] Preferably, fixing parts 231 with the same intervals are fixedly installed on the first conveying mechanism 23, and the fixing parts 231 are configured to clamp the syringe of the vaccine syringe 900, so that during the sliding of the first conveying mechanism 23, the vaccine syringe 900 is fixed to the first conveying mechanism 23 and is not easy to fall off.

[0049] The conveying device 30 includes a first mechanical arm 31 , a second mechanical arm 32 , a slide rail 33 , a rotating mechanism 34 and a lifting mechanism 35 .

[0050] The first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32 are slidably mounted on the slide rail 33, and the slide rail 33 is fixedly mounted at a fixed height of the device body 10, so that the first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32 can slide on the slide rail 33, and the first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32 are configured to be able to rise and fall, so as to perform the picking and moving operations on the vaccine syringe 900.

[0051] In this embodiment, the end effector of the first robotic arm 31 is configured to include at least one groove-shaped first negative pressure generator 311, and the end effector of the second robotic arm 32 is configured to include at least one groove-shaped second negative pressure generator 321. The first negative pressure generator 311 and the second negative pressure generator 321 generate negative pressure using a positive pressure gas source, that is, objects are adsorbed on the first negative pressure generator 311 and the second negative pressure generator 321 by suction. It should be noted that the groove matches the shape of the syringe of the vaccine syringe 900, so that the vaccine syringe 900 can be fixed on the first negative pressure generator 311 and the second negative pressure generator 321, thereby ensuring that the vaccine syringe 900 is not easy to fall off during the movement of the first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32.

[0052] The rotating mechanism 34 includes a fixed frame 341 and a rotating platform 342, wherein the fixed frame 341 is fixedly mounted on the device body 10, and the rotating platform 342 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 341. The motor drives the rotating platform 342 to rotate 90° along the axis of the fixed frame 341, so that the needle tube of the vaccine needle tube 900 is placed on the rotating mechanism 34 in parallel with the transmission direction of the first transmission mechanism 23.

[0053] When the first mechanical arm 31 slides to the top of the first conveying mechanism 23, the first mechanical arm 31 descends, and the first negative pressure generator 311 absorbs the vaccine syringe 900, and moves the vaccine syringe 900 from the first conveying mechanism 23 to the first mechanical arm 31. Then, the first mechanical arm 31 rises and slides on the slide rail 33 toward the rotating mechanism 34, so that the vaccine syringe 900 is moved to the rotating mechanism 34.

[0054] refer to Figure 4 The assembly device 40 includes at least one assembly component 41, a pushing mechanism 42, a second conveying mechanism 43 and a third conveying mechanism 44.

[0055] The assembly component 41 includes at least one assembly plate 411 and at least one assembly part 412. The assembly part 412 is fixedly mounted on the assembly plate 411, and the number of the assembly parts 412 on each assembly plate 411 is the same, so that it is convenient for operators to calculate the total number of assembled vaccine syringes 900. The assembly part 412 is implemented as a slot that matches the shape of the syringe of the vaccine syringe 900, so that the vaccine syringe 900 is fixedly mounted on the assembly plate 411 and is not easy to fall off during the transportation process.

[0056] The lifting mechanism 35 of the conveying device 30 is installed in the direction extending from the movement direction of the second conveying mechanism 43, and the lifting mechanism 35 includes a lifting platform 351. The lifting mechanism 35 is configured to be driven up and down by a motor or a cylinder. Specifically, the lifting platform 351 is configured to be able to rise to be flush with the push rod 421 of the pushing mechanism 42, and the lifting platform 351 is configured to be able to descend to be flush with the second conveying mechanism 43.

[0057] The pushing mechanism 42 includes a push rod 421, and the pushing mechanism 42 is implemented to be driven by a cylinder or a motor. When the lifting platform 351 is lowered to be flush with the second conveying mechanism 43, the push rod 421, driven by the motor or the cylinder, can push the assembly component 41 from the second conveying mechanism 43 to the third conveying mechanism 44 along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 43.

[0058] The third conveying mechanism 44 is installed near the second conveying mechanism 43, and the conveying directions of the second conveying mechanism 43 and the third conveying mechanism 44 are opposite. The assembly component 41 placed on the second conveying mechanism 43 is pushed to the third conveying mechanism 44 by the push rod 421. At this time, the second mechanical arm 32 of the adsorbed vaccine syringe 900 moves to the top of the third conveying mechanism 44 and descends to the assembly component 41 placed on the third conveying mechanism 44. The negative pressure of the second negative pressure generator 321 disappears. In this way, the vaccine syringe 900 is moved from the second mechanical arm 32 to the assembly part 412 of the assembly component 41 of the third conveying mechanism 44. Under the transmission of the third conveying mechanism 44, the vaccine syringe 900 placed on the assembly component 41 is sent to the detector 50 for detection. The whole process does not require manual operation, and is fully automated, which improves production efficiency.
