[0035] The utility model provides a sampling manipulator 100 .

[0036] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1-2As shown, the sampling manipulator 100 includes: a telescopic rod 1, a sampling piece 2 and a fixing piece 3. One end of the fixing piece 3 is hinged to the telescopic rod 1, and the other end is detachably fixed to the sampling piece 2.

[0037] The present invention's technical solution allows the sampling member 2 to be detachably fixed to the fixing member 3, allowing the sampling member 2 to be removed after sampling and the residue on the sampling member 2 to be inspected. The length of the telescopic rod 2, and thus the length of the sampling manipulator 100, can be adjusted according to the depth of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, allowing sampling personnel to perform sampling operations within the equipment from outside. This eliminates the need for sampling personnel to enter the equipment for sampling, reducing health threats to sampling personnel, ensuring their safety, preventing casualties, minimizing the introduction of foreign matter, and reducing EHS safety risks. This allows for sampling and inspection of residues within the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment. By utilizing the telescopic rod 1, sampling member 2, and fixing member 3, non-contact sampling operations are possible within pharmaceutical and chemical equipment within confined spaces, preventing operators from entering the confined space and contacting the cleaning surfaces of the equipment. This allows for sampling the cleaning effectiveness of equipment in inaccessible pharmaceutical and chemical areas, minimizing health threats to sampling personnel, ensuring their safety, preventing casualties, minimizing the introduction of foreign matter, and reducing EHS safety risks. Non-contact sampling can also be performed at the most difficult-to-clean points of the equipment. Among them, the equipment in the pharmaceutical chemical area can be reactors, double cones, single cones, etc.

[0038] Specifically, to better achieve the function of clamping and fixing the sample piece 2, the fixing member 3 includes a connecting portion 31 hinged to the telescopic rod 1, a first clamping portion 32, and a second clamping portion 33. The first clamping portion 32 and the second clamping portion 33 are used to clamp the sample piece 2 and are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting portion 31. The first clamping portion 32 and the second clamping portion 33 are made of a metal material with a certain structural strength and a certain amount of deformation.

[0039] The fixing member 3 may include: one fixing bolt 34 and one fixing butterfly nut 35 ; or may include two fixing bolts 34 and two fixing butterfly nuts 35 .

[0040] Specifically, in order to achieve the function of clamping and fixing the sampling piece 2, the fixing piece 3 may include: 1 fixing bolt 34 and 1 fixing butterfly nut 35; the fixing piece 3 may also include: two fixing bolts 34 and two fixing butterfly nuts 35; the fixing bolt 34 passes through the first clamping part 32 and the second clamping part 33 and is threadedly connected to the fixing butterfly nut 35. When the butterfly nut 35 is tightened, the threaded connection between the fixing bolt 34 and the fixing butterfly nut 35 brings the end of the first clamping portion 32 away from the connecting portion 31 and the end of the second clamping portion 33 away from the connecting portion 31 closer to each other. As the butterfly nut 35 continues to be tightened, the fixing bolt 34 and the fixing butterfly nut 35 exert pressure on the middle portions of the first and second clamping portions 32, 33, causing deformation. The threaded connection between the bolt 34 and the fixing butterfly nut 35 forces the first and second clamping portions 32, 33 away from the connecting portion 31 to the position of the fixing bolt 34, pressing the sample 2 between the first and second clamping portions 32, 33, thereby securing the sample 2 between the first and second clamping portions 32, 33 and thus clamping and securing the sample 2. When the bolt 34 and the fixing butterfly nut 35 form a pair, the sample 2 can be squeezed between the ends of the first and second clamping portions 32, 33 away from the connecting portion 31 to the position of the fixing bolt 34. When it is determined that there are two pairs of bolts 34 and fixing butterfly nuts 35, the sampling piece 2 can be squeezed between the first clamping part 32 and the second clamping part 33 at one end away from the connecting part 31 to the position of the fixing bolt 34 close to the connecting part 31. The two pairs of bolts 34 and fixing butterfly nuts 35 can fix the sampling piece 2 between the position of one fixing bolt 34 and the position of the other fixing bolt 34 of the first clamping part 32 and the second clamping part 33.

[0041] Specifically, in order to prevent the fixing bolt 34 from falling off the first clamping portion 32 and save time for clamping and fixing the sampling member 2 , the fixing bolt 34 is fixedly connected to the first clamping portion 32 .

[0042] Specifically, in order to facilitate holding the sampling manipulator 100, the sampling manipulator 100 further includes a handle 4, which is fixed to the other end of the telescopic rod 1;

[0043] Specifically, the sampling piece 2 is a sampling cotton swab.

[0044] Specifically, the length of the telescopic rod 1 is 400 mm to 1200 mm.

[0045] Specifically, in order to adjust the sampling angle according to the sampling point of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment and to adjust the angle between the sampling member 2 and the telescopic rod 1, one end of the fixing member 3 is hinged to the telescopic rod 1 through the connecting assembly 5;

[0046] Specifically, the connecting assembly 5 includes a connecting bolt that passes through the fixing member 3 and the telescopic rod 1, and a butterfly nut that is threadedly connected to the connecting bolt. The connecting bolt passes through the fixing member 3 and the telescopic rod 1, then threads into the butterfly nut. After adjusting the fixing member 3 and the telescopic rod 1 to the desired angle, the butterfly nut is tightened to adjust the angle between the fixing member 3 and the telescopic rod 1. To adjust the angle between the fixing member 3 and the telescopic rod 1, the butterfly nut is loosened, adjusted to the desired position, and then tightened again to adjust the angle between the fixing member 3 and the telescopic rod 1.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention further proposes a sampling area determination device 200 , wherein the sampling manipulator 100 includes: a second telescopic rod 6 and an area determination member 7 , and the area determination member 7 is hinged to the second telescopic rod 6 .

[0048] The technical solution of the present utility model can adjust the length of the second telescopic rod 6, and thus the length of the sampling manipulator 100, according to the depth of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, so that the sampling personnel can determine the sampling area within the equipment from outside the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, thereby reducing the health threat to the sampling personnel, reducing the introduction of foreign matter, and reducing EHS safety risks; and can determine the sampling area within the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment. By using the second telescopic rod 6 and the area determination member 7, the area determination member 7 is placed in close contact with the sampling point of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, and the sampling area of ​​the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment in a small and non-contact space can be determined. The cleaning effect of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment in areas that are difficult for personnel to enter can be sampled; and the most difficult to clean points of the equipment can be sampled non-contact. Among them, the pharmaceutical and chemical area equipment can be a reactor, a double cone, a single cone, etc.

[0049] Specifically, to facilitate adjustment of the region determining member 7 according to the location of the sampling point of the device and reduce the influence of the second telescopic rod 6 on the determination of the sampling region, the region determining member 7 includes a sampling connection portion 71 hingedly connected to the second telescopic rod 6 and a sampling frame 72 connected to the sampling connection portion 71. The sampling area of ​​the sampling frame can be 2 cm × 2 cm, 3 cm × 3 cm, 4 cm × 4 cm, or 5 cm × 5 cm, etc.

[0050] Specifically, the length of the second telescopic rod 6 is 400 mm to 1200 mm.

[0051] Specifically, in order to adjust the angle of the area determining member 7 according to the sampling point of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, and to adjust the angle between the sampling frame 72 and the second telescopic rod 6, the area determining member 7 and the second telescopic rod 6 are connected through a hinge assembly; the hinge assembly includes a second connecting bolt passing through the area determining member 7 and the second telescopic rod 6 and a second butterfly nut threadedly connected to the second connecting bolt.

[0052] Specifically, the sampling area determination device 200 further includes a second handle 8 , which is fixed to the other end of the second telescopic rod 6 .

[0053] The present invention also provides a sampling device, comprising a sampling manipulator 100 and a sampling area determination device 200. The specific structure of the sampling manipulator 100 is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiments. Since the present sampling manipulator 100 utilizes all the technical solutions of all the aforementioned embodiments, it at least possesses all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, which are not further detailed here. The specific structure of the sampling area determination device 200 is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiments. Since the present sampling area determination device 200 utilizes all the technical solutions of all the aforementioned embodiments, it at least possesses all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, which are not further detailed here.

[0054] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: After cleaning pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, when sampling and testing of the cleaned equipment is required, the lengths of the telescopic rod 1 and the second telescopic rod 6 can be adjusted according to the depth of the sampling point of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, thereby adjusting the lengths of the sampling manipulator 100 and the sampling area determination device 200. Then, according to the position of the sampling point of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, the angle between the sampling member 2 and the telescopic rod 1 and the angle between the sampling frame 72 and the second telescopic rod 6 are adjusted. The butterfly nut and the second butterfly nut are then tightened to determine the angles between the sampling member 2 and the telescopic rod 1, and between the sampling frame 72 and the second telescopic rod 6. Then, a sampling cotton swab is placed between the first clamping portion 32 and the second clamping portion 33, and the butterfly nut 35 is tightened to secure the sampling cotton swab between the first clamping portion 32 and the second clamping portion 33. The sampling frame 72 of the sampling area determination device 200 is then placed against the sampling point of the pharmaceutical and chemical equipment. The area within the sampling frame 72 is repeatedly wiped with a sampling swab from the sampling robot 100. The residue on the sampling swab is then sampled and tested to calculate the material residue on the equipment. This eliminates the need for sampling personnel to enter the equipment, effectively preventing the introduction of foreign matter and potentially hazardous EHS practices.
