[0030] Radiopharmaceutical repackaging involves precisely dispensing synthesized radioactive mother liquor into multiple micro-dose doses for hospital use. The mother liquor is fed from the synthesizer into the repackaging equipment, and the entire process must adhere to strict aseptic and safety standards. Currently, the connection between the mother liquor tubing and the repackaging mechanism is entirely manual, a cumbersome operation that easily leads to drug residue. Manual operation increases the risk of radiation exposure for workers, potentially posing a health threat. This is especially true in confined spaces where the connection process is complex and the possibility of error increases.

[0031] Therefore, this utility model provides an automatic mother liquor pipeline docking device to automatically dock mother liquor pipelines, simplify pipeline connection and dispensing processes, improve overall operating efficiency, and reduce error rate.

[0032] Specifically, the automatic mother liquor pipeline docking device includes a stand 10, a receiving box 20, a moving component 30, a filter mounting base 40, and a mother liquor pipeline assembly 50. The moving component 30 is driven by a power source 31, and a slider 35 is connected to a slide rail 34 to achieve the docking action.

[0033] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aforementioned automatic docking device for the mother liquor pipeline includes: a stand 10, a receiving box 20, a moving component 30, a filter mounting base 40, and a mother liquor pipeline assembly 50. The moving component 30 and the mother liquor pipeline assembly 50 are respectively connected to the stand 10. The filter mounting base 40 is connected to the moving component 30 and is located below the mother liquor pipeline assembly 50. The receiving box 20 is connected to one side of the stand 10 and is located below the filter mounting base 40.

[0035] This device can be used in conjunction with a robotic arm. The various components are supported by a stand 10. The moving component 30 and the mother liquor pipeline assembly 50 are connected to the stand 10. The movement of the moving component 30 is driven by a power source 31, controlling the movement of the filter mounting base 40 so that it can accurately align with the area below the mother liquor pipeline assembly 50. The receiving box 20 is connected to the side of the stand 10, located below the filter mounting base 40. This ensures that when the filter is automatically removed, mother liquor is prevented from splashing onto the machine panel, thus avoiding cleaning problems. It also allows for timely collection of mother liquor in case of automation failure, preventing further splashing.

This process achieves automatic locking of the filter 70.

[0045] The filter 70 used is composed of a perforated filter 70 and a non-perforated filter 70, forming an effective filtration system. The top of the filter 70 is provided with a groove specifically for locking the ball screw 60, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the filter 70 and the mother liquor pipeline assembly 50.

[0046] This device uses a robotic arm to automatically grasp and place the filter 70, reducing manual intervention. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces human error and risk during operation. The ball screw 60 precisely engages with the groove of the filter 70, ensuring its stability within the open slot and preventing displacement or detachment due to vibration or pressure changes. The filter 70's design makes it easy to disassemble and replace, simplifying maintenance. Users can easily remove the filter 70 for cleaning or replacement without complex disassembly and assembly steps.

[0077] The working process of the automatic mother liquor pipeline docking device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0078] Connect the mother liquor pipe 52 to the male connector 51 fixed on the stand 10 to establish a channel for liquid transmission.

[0079] When liquid transfer is required, the motor of the moving component 30 is started, pushing the filter mounting base 40 mounted on the connecting plate 36 to complete the raising and lowering of the filter 70, thereby docking and separating with the male connector 51; when the pipeline is connected, the filter 70 can be used for foaming tests or pumping liquid.

[0080] When it is necessary to pump the mother liquor, the robotic arm picks up the mother liquor bottle 80 from the tray and places it under the needle of the filter 70 to receive the mother liquor; after receiving the liquid, the robotic arm puts the mother liquor bottle 80 back on the tray, ready to proceed to the next process.

[0081] During cleaning, the robotic arm places the filter 70 below the cleaning connector 93, aligns it with the connector, and then rinses it.

[0082] Specifically, when the filter 70 is picked up by the robotic arm and placed into the filter mounting base 40 and the mother liquor bottle 80 is placed in the receiving box 20, the moving component 30 drives the filter mounting base 40 to move until the filter 70 is connected to the mother liquor pipeline assembly 50, and the filling process begins.

[0083] Once the liquid in the mother liquor bottle 80 reaches the set amount, the moving component 30 moves the filter mounting base 40 until the filter 70 separates from the mother liquor pipeline assembly 50.

[0084] The aforementioned automatic mother liquor pipeline docking device ensures a tight connection between its components, including a support 10, a receiving box 20, a moving component 30, a filter mounting base 40, and a mother liquor pipeline assembly 50. The moving component 30 is connected to the filter mounting base 40 and can move flexibly to facilitate docking and liquid transfer between the filter 70 on the filter mounting base 40 and the mother liquor pipeline assembly 50. The filter 70 can effectively filter the liquid during docking. The receiving box 20 is located on one side of the support 10 and is lower than the filter mounting base 40. The receiving box 20 contains a mother liquor bottle 80, etc., to collect the liquid flowing out of the filter 70. Driven by the moving component 30, the filter mounting base 40 can automatically rise and fall, enabling quick connection and disconnection of the mother liquor pipeline. Overall, the device simplifies the pipeline connection and dispensing process, reduces the complexity of manual operation, thereby improving overall operating efficiency and reducing the error rate.
