[0002] In the medium pressure preparation separation scene, sometimes dry loading is needed. Dry loading is to dissolve the sample to be separated with a small amount of solvent, then add a small amount of separation material, remove the solvent, mix the dry sample evenly, and finally get the powder to the top layer of the loading column. The traditional dry loading realizes the whole process by manual operation, for example, the sample is mixed with silica gel by manual operation, then loaded into a distillation bottle of a rotary evaporator for rotary evaporation, and then the rotary evaporated sample is transferred from the distillation bottle to a container special for medium pressure preparation separation instrument by manual operation.
[0003] In this process, the operation is complex and tedious, and the operator's skill will affect the mixing and rotary evaporation effect, resulting in uneven stirring of the sample and silica gel. In addition, the traditional rotary evaporator is easy to cause powder spraying due to high negative pressure, resulting in loss of sample.

[0053] The present disclosure designs a full-automatic unmanned automated dry method loading equipment and system. In the automated process, a cylindrical stainless steel rotary evaporation column is used to facilitate the automatic transfer, sample addition, sample mixing and product pouring actions through a mechanical arm. A new drying module is designed for the cylindrical rotary evaporation column. The rotary evaporation column is heated by a controllable infrared heating module, and an automatic vacuum system is used to maintain a certain vacuum in the rotary evaporation column. Through the two ways together, the sample in the rotary evaporation column is fully mixed and dried quickly. After the cylindrical rotary evaporation column is dried, the relatively sticky sample can be automatically scraped from the inner wall of the rotary evaporation column by the automatic scraping module of the automated dry method loading equipment, and then ground to ensure that the sample forms uniform and fine solid particles for the next step of processing. The above process is realized through the operation of an automated mechanical arm, achieving a full-automatic unmanned process, reducing labor costs, and improving efficiency and accuracy.
[0054] As shown in Figure 1 The present disclosure provides an automated dry method loading equipment, which includes a workbench 1, a tool library 2, a loading rack module 3, a powder adding module 4, a rotary evaporation module 5, a scraper cleaning module 6, a visual detection module 7, an opening and closing cover and scraping rotation module 8, a powder leveling module 9, and a carrying mechanism arranged on the workbench 1. The tool library 2, the loading rack module 3, the powder adding module 4, the rotary evaporation module 5, the scraper cleaning module 6, the visual detection module 7, the opening and closing cover and scraping rotation module 8, and the powder leveling module 9 are arranged around the carrying mechanism, and the carrying mechanism is used to connect the modules in series to realize the interaction between the modules.
[0055] The carrying mechanism includes a mechanical arm 10 and the tool library 2. The tool library 2 is used to temporarily store the interaction tools used when interacting with each module. One end of the mechanical arm 10 is rotatably connected to the workbench, and the other end is provided with a clamping device for clamping materials and interaction tools. The mechanical arm 10 clamps the materials and interaction tools through the clamping device and automatically changes the materials and interaction tools according to the carrying requirements.
[0056] Optionally, the materials include sample containers, powder barrels, funnels, the sample containers include rotary evaporation columns and sample loading columns, and the interaction tools include a scraping module 21, a carrying clamp jaw 22, and a pouring clamp jaw 23. The carrying clamp jaw 22 is used to carry various materials, such as powder barrels, funnels, rotary evaporation columns, and sample loading columns. The pouring clamp jaw 23 is used to carry materials and pour the powder or sample in the materials, such as pouring the powder in the powder barrel. The scraping module 21 is used to scrape the sample in the sample container, such as scraping the powder on the side wall and the bottom of the rotary evaporation column. The material quality and shape of the sample container are not specially limited in the present disclosure. Preferably, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the material quality of the rotary evaporation column is stainless steel, and the shape is cylindrical.
[0057] In some embodiments, the sample is a biological sample, a pharmaceutical sample, or a chemical sample. When the sample is a pharmaceutical sample, it can be a Western medicine sample, a traditional Chinese medicine sample, or other medicine sample with pharmaceutical effect, etc. For example, the traditional Chinese medicine sample includes traditional Chinese medicinal materials, traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, Chinese patent medicines, semi-finished products of traditional Chinese medicines, medicinal plants, etc.
[0058] Optionally, the workbench 1 is further provided with a redissolution station docking track 100, and the product in the rotary evaporation column can be directly sourced from the dilution redissolution station. The sample is first freeze-dried in the freeze-drying station, then enters the dilution redissolution station for dilution and dissolution, and then the redissolved product is input into the automatic dry sampling equipment through the redissolution station docking track 100.
[0059] In some embodiments, the carrying mechanism can be a mechanical arm or a moving mechanism with at least one direction degree of freedom. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the carrying mechanism is a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm.
[0060] In some embodiments, the mechanical arm further comprises a vision assembly, which is connected to the mechanical arm at one end close to the clamping device. The mechanical arm identifies the module position, interactive tools or materials through the vision assembly, and then clamps the required interactive tools or materials through the clamping device, accurately finds the position of the module to be worked on, realizes precise work, and meets the diversified needs of identification, inspection, clamping, etc. of specific items. Through the mechanical arm, the clamping or placing function of tools and materials can be realized, which is suitable for the transmission and clamping of light load materials, can reach places that cannot be reached before, makes the clamping action more flexible and convenient, and meets the production needs of flexible production lines.
[0061] The feeding rack module 3 comprises at least one material tray 31, which is used to carry different materials and realize material interaction with the outside through the material tray 31. For example, when the external mobile equipment places the material tray storing the materials to the feeding rack module 3, the mechanical arm 10 drives the carrying clamp to take out the materials in the material tray and returns to the workbench 1 for work. Optionally, the material tray includes a powder bucket tray, a funnel tray, a rotary evaporation column tray, and a sample loading column tray.
[0062] The present disclosure does not specially limit the types of external mobile equipment. For example, in some embodiments, the external mobile equipment can be an AGV trolley, a mobile robot, or manual operation.
[0063] As Figure 2As shown, the powder scraping module 21 is used to cooperate with the mechanical arm 10 to realize the powder scraping operation. The powder scraping module 21 includes a transverse pre-pressing mechanism 211, a longitudinal pre-pressing mechanism 212 and a scraper 213. The scraper 213 is installed on one side of the transverse pre-pressing mechanism 211, and the longitudinal pre-pressing mechanism 212 is arranged on the side of the transverse pre-pressing mechanism 211 away from the scraper 213. The scraper 213 is used to scrape the powder sample on the inner surface of the sample container, for example, to scrape the powder on the side wall and the bottom of the rotary evaporation column. By rotating the scraper at a low speed along the wall automatically, the sample on the wall can be scraped down and presented in a powder state. By arranging the transverse pre-pressing mechanism and the longitudinal pre-pressing mechanism, the powder in the rotary evaporation column can be scraped off in all directions, reducing powder residue. In combination with the mechanical arm, the powder scraping can be fully automated. For example, during the automatic rotation of the rotary evaporation column, the mechanical arm 10 drives the powder scraping module 21 to move, so that the scraper 213 extends into the rotary evaporation column and pre-presses the side wall of the rotary evaporation column transversely. In combination with the rotation speed of the rotary evaporation column, the scraper 213 moves to the bottom of the rotary evaporation column at a uniform speed, thereby performing the powder scraping operation on the sample on the side wall of the rotary evaporation column, so that the powder sample attached to the side wall of the rotary evaporation column is scraped off. When reaching the bottom of the rotary evaporation column, the scraper 213 pre-presses the bottom of the rotary evaporation column longitudinally under the drive of the mechanical arm 10, thereby scraping the sample on the bottom of the rotary evaporation column.
[0064] In some embodiments, the longitudinal pre-pressing mechanism 212 includes a base 120, a Z-axis guide shaft limiting piece 121, a Z-axis guide shaft 122, a linear bearing seat 123 and a Z-direction compression spring 124. The linear bearing seat 123 is fixedly installed on four corners of the base 120. The Z-axis guide shaft 122 is arranged in the linear bearing seat 123 and can slide up and down along the Z-axis guide shaft 122 relative to the linear bearing seat 123, and the Z-axis guide shaft 122 serves as a guide. The Z-axis guide shaft limiting piece 121 is installed on the Z-axis guide shaft 122. The upper end of the Z-axis guide shaft 122 is fixedly connected with the Z-axis guide shaft limiting piece 121, and the lower end of the Z-axis guide shaft 122 is fixedly connected with the guide rail sliding block connecting plate 214. The Z-axis guide shaft limiting piece 121 serves to limit the longitudinal movement of the Z-axis guide shaft 122. The Z-direction compression spring 124 is arranged around the Z-axis guide shaft 122. One end of the Z-direction compression spring 124 abuts against one side of the base 120 away from the Z-axis guide shaft limiting piece 121, and the other end of the Z-direction compression spring 124 abuts against one side of the guide rail sliding block connecting plate 214 away from the scraper 213. The Z-direction compression spring 124 serves as a longitudinal pre-pressing mechanism. Due to the characteristics of the spring, the force applied can be avoided to be too large to damage the inside of the sample container. Through the longitudinal pre-pressing action, the downward force is applied to the scraper 213, so that the scraper 213 continuously abuts against the bottom of the sample container, which can ensure that the powder on the bottom is scraped clean.
[0065] In some embodiments, the base 120 is square, and four sets of Z-axis guide shaft limiting member 121, Z-axis guide shaft 122, linear bearing seat 123, and Z-axis compression spring 124 are provided and distributed at the four corners of the base 120, which can ensure uniform force distribution and more stable structure.
[0066] In some embodiments, the lateral preload mechanism 211 includes a guide rail slider connecting plate 214, a lateral support 215, an X-axis guide shaft limiting member 216, an X-axis spring limiting shaft 217, an X-axis compression spring 218, a tool mounting seat 219, and a linear guide rail 210. The guide rail slider connecting plate 214 is fixedly connected to the Z-axis guide shaft 122. The linear guide rail 210 is mounted on the guide rail slider connecting plate 214 and is used to provide lateral movement. The scraper mounting seat 219 is mounted on the linear guide rail 210. Above, scraper 213 is mounted on scraper mounting base 219; one end of X-axis spring limiting shaft 217 is mounted on scraper mounting base 219, and X-axis compression spring 218 is wound around X-axis spring limiting shaft 217 to provide lateral preload; X-axis guide shaft limiting member 216 is mounted on X-axis spring limiting shaft 217 to constrain the lateral movement of X-axis spring limiting shaft 217; scraper 213 scrapes powder off the side wall and bottom of the rotary evaporation column through lateral blade and bottom blade.
[0067] In some embodiments, a quick-change connector 125 is provided on the side of the base 120 opposite to the scraper 213. The quick-change connector 125 is detachably connected to the robotic arm 10. When a powder scraping operation is required on the sample container, the robotic arm 10 connects to the quick-change connector 125 via a gripping device. When the powder scraping operation is completed, the gripping device of the robotic arm 10 is detached from the quick-change connector 125. For example, after the sample in the rotary evaporation column is dried, the robotic arm 10 automatically positions itself to the tool library 2, locates the powder scraping module 21, and connects the gripping device of the robotic arm 10 to the quick-change connector 125 of the powder scraping module 21. The robotic arm 10 then drives the powder scraping module 21 to perform a powder scraping operation on the side wall and bottom of the rotary evaporation column.
[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, the transport gripper 22 is used in conjunction with the robotic arm 10 to grip and move materials. The transport gripper 22 includes a drive component 220, a transport arm 221, and a quick-change connector 125. The transport arm 221 is connected to the drive component 220, which drives the transport arm 221 to open and close to grip the sample container. The robotic arm 10 is detachably connected to the quick-change connector 125. During the interaction between the robotic arm 10 and the various modules, the robotic arm 10 connects to the quick-change connector 125 through the gripping device, thereby driving the transport gripper 22 to remove tools or materials from the tool library 2 or material tray 31 and move them to the respective modules.
[0069] like Figure 4As shown, the pouring gripper 23 is used to cooperate with the mechanical arm 10 to carry the material and pour the powder or sample in the material, for example, to pour the powder in the powder bucket. The pouring gripper 23 comprises a pair of clamping jaws 231 which can be close to each other to clamp the sample container or far away from each other to release the sample container.

[0071] In some embodiments, the pouring gripper 23 further comprises a clamping piece 234 and an anti-falling piece 235, the clamping piece 234 is used to assist clamping to ensure that the sample container can be clamped firmly, and the anti-falling piece 235 is used to clamp the cover protrusion of the sample container to assist clamping to prevent the sample container from falling.
[0072] The present disclosure does not make special limitation on the specific shape of the clamping piece 234 and the anti-falling piece 235. In some embodiments, the clamping piece 234 is plate-shaped and the anti-falling piece 235 is block-shaped, and the clamping piece 234 and the anti-falling piece 235 have holes for fasteners to pass through to fix them on the clamping jaw 231. The clamping piece 234 and the anti-falling piece 235 can be installed in the form of threaded fasteners or other forms, and the present disclosure does not make special limitation thereon, for example, the clamping piece 234 can be installed in any suitable manner such as welding, screw fixing, pasting, etc., and similarly, the anti-falling piece 235 can be installed in any suitable manner such as welding, screw fixing, pasting, etc.
[0073] In some embodiments, the pouring gripper 23 further comprises a quick-change joint 125, and the mechanical arm 10 is detachably connected with the quick-change joint 125. In the process of interaction between the mechanical arm 10 and each module, the mechanical arm 10 is connected with the quick-change joint 125 through the gripping device, so as to drive the pouring gripper 23 to grip the sample container to realize pouring of the powder in the sample container.
