Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freeze dryer rotating devices, specifically a freeze dryer multi-manifold rotating device. Background Technology

[0002] Technical Background of Multi-Manifold Rotary Unit in Freeze Dryer

[0003] A freeze dryer is a piece of equipment used in freeze-drying processes, widely applied in pharmaceuticals, food processing, biotechnology, and other fields. During the freeze-drying process, samples need to be taken, observed, and analyzed, requiring the freeze dryer to possess a certain degree of flexibility and ease of operation. This is especially true in multi-manifold freeze dryers, where a rotating mechanism is needed to achieve flexible operation of the manifolds.

[0004] Traditional multi-manifold rotary devices in freeze dryers have the following problems:

[0005] Poor sealing performance:

[0006] Traditional rotary devices, when connecting the multi-manifold unit and the cold trap cover of the freeze dryer, often suffer from poor sealing performance, which can easily disrupt the vacuum environment inside the freeze dryer and affect the freeze-drying effect.

[0007] Insufficient stability:

[0008] Traditional rotating devices, after prolonged use, are prone to loosening due to the lack of effective locking and support structures, leading to unstable rotation or even detachment, which affects operational safety.

[0009] Poor rotational performance:

[0010] Traditional rotating devices often lack a stable rotating mechanism, resulting in a limited rotation angle and an inability to achieve 360-degree free rotation, thus restricting operational flexibility.

[0011] Poor abrasion resistance:

[0012] During long-term use, due to the lack of wear-resistant design, rotating parts are prone to wear, which shortens the equipment's lifespan, requires frequent parts replacement, and increases maintenance costs.

[0013] Inconvenient to operate:

[0014] Traditional rotating devices lack anti-slip design, making it easy for operators to slip during operation, which reduces the safety and convenience of operation. Utility Model Content
