The movable sealing device 4 is used to seal the outlet of the slag removal chute 3.

[0027] The sterilization system of the exhaust and slag discharge structure in the ampoule isolator is as follows: during normal production: the first valve 61 is opened, the second valve 51 is closed, the third valve 81 is closed, the exhaust fan 7 is opened, the movable sealing device 4 is opened, the outlet of the slag discharge chute 3 is not sealed, the isolator cavity 1 is at positive pressure relative to the external environment, the outside air will not enter the isolator cavity 1 through the outlet of the slag discharge chute 3, the wire drawing chuck component throws the ampoule waste slag head into the slag discharge chute 3 for output, the exhaust fan 7 discharges the heat generated by the combustion of the fire head component through the exhaust cylinder 2 and the exhaust pipe 6, and the isolator will replenish new air in time according to the air volume lost in the isolator cavity 1 to maintain the positive pressure in the isolator cavity 1. In the sterilization state: the first valve 61 is closed, the second valve 51 is opened, the third valve 81 is opened, the exhaust fan 7 is turned off, and the movable sealing device 4 seals the bottom of the slag discharge chute 3 to prevent VHP leakage.
