[0025] Embodiment 2

[0026] With reference to Fig. 1 and 2 This is the second embodiment of the present application, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0027] In this embodiment, one end of the first rubber tube 11 extends to the inner cavity of the liquid storage tank 2, and the other end of the first rubber tube 11 is connected with the stainless steel joint 13, and the first rubber tube 11 and the stainless steel joint 13 are connected in communication.

The connection pipe 151 is closed by the round cover to prevent the solution from being discharged through the connection pipe 151 during sterilization and filtration of the solution.

[0031] Embodiment 3

[0032] Refer to Fig. 1 and 3 This is the third embodiment of the present application, which is based on the previous two embodiments.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first rubber tube 11 and the second rubber tube 14 are both platinum vulcanized silicone rubber tubes, and the filter membrane pore size of the first sterilization level capsule filter 15 and the second sterilization level capsule filter 16 is 0.2 microns.

[0034] The stainless steel joint 13 is fixedly connected with a sealing gasket 131 on one side, and the side away from the stainless steel joint 13 is in contact with the isolator 3.

[0035] The surface of the stainless steel joint 13 and located on one side of the isolator 3 is provided with a fastener 31, the fastener 31 includes a first clamp 311 and a second clamp 312, and the first clamp 311 and the second clamp 312 are movably connected through a shaft, the second clamp 312 is movably connected with a screw rod 314 on one side through a shaft, the bottom of the first clamp 311 is movably connected with a connecting sleeve 313 through a bearing, the bottom of the screw rod 314 extends to the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 313, and is screwed with the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 313.

[0036] As Fig. 1 and 3As shown, the filter membrane pore size of the first and second sterile grade capsule filter 15 and 16 is 0.2 microns, which can effectively block most bacteria and some viruses, and ensure that the filtered liquid meets the sterile standard. When the stainless steel connector 13 is connected to the isolator 3, one end of the stainless steel connector 13 is inserted into the reserved hole provided on one side of the isolator 3, and then one end of the stainless steel connector 13 enters the inner cavity of the isolator 3 through the reserved hole, which facilitates the transmission of non-sterile solution to the inside of the isolator 3. During the insertion process, the sealing gasket 131 is in contact with the isolator 3 driven by the stainless steel connector 13, which can ensure that the gap between the stainless steel connector 13 and the reserved hole is sealed, and the sterile environment inside the isolator 3 is ensured. After the stainless steel connector 13 is connected, it is preliminarily limited by the first clamp 311, and then the connecting sleeve 313 is rotated. Since the connecting sleeve 313 and the screw rod 314 are threadedly connected, the connecting sleeve 313 will drive the screw rod 314 to move downward while rotating, so that the screw rod 314 drives the second clamp 312 to move downward around the shaft axis, until the second clamp 312 is in close contact with the isolator 3, thereby realizing the fixation of the stainless steel connector 13 and preventing the stainless steel connector 13 from falling during use.

[0037] In use, firstly, the first hose 11 is connected to the peristaltic pump 12, with one end of the first hose 11 placed inside the reservoir 2 and the other end connected to the stainless steel connector 13. This connection facilitates solution transfer. Then, the stainless steel connector 13 is connected to the pre-drilled hole in the isolator 3, extending one end of the connector into the isolator 3. The stainless steel connector 13 is secured with fasteners 31 to prevent it from falling off later. Next, the second hose 14 is used to... The stainless steel connector 13, the first sterile capsule filter 15, and the second sterile capsule filter 16 are connected in series. During the series connection, the connection points are locked with cable ties 141 to prevent solution leakage during transmission. After the series connection is completed, the second sterile capsule filter 16 is removed, positioning the outlet 17 above the collection tank 4. Then, the peristaltic pump 12 is turned on. The operation of the peristaltic pump 12 allows the first tubing 11 to transfer the non-sterile solution inside the storage tank 2 to the stainless steel connector 13. The stainless steel connector 13 then transfers the solution... The solution is transferred to the inner cavity of the second tubing 14 on one side, allowing it to be conveyed to the interior of the first sterilization-grade capsule filter 15 for primary sterilization filtration. After primary sterilization filtration, the solution is then transferred through the other side of the second tubing 14 to the inner cavity of the second sterilization-grade capsule filter 16, where it undergoes secondary sterilization filtration. The filtered solution is then injected through the outlet 17 into the inner cavity of the collection tank 4 inside the isolator 3, thus achieving multi-stage filtration of the solution into the isolator 3 in a single pass. The solution is then transferred through the second tubing 14 to the first sterilization-grade capsule filter 15. The first sterile capsule filter 15 and the outlet head 17 are connected in series, and the first sterile capsule filter 15 and the outlet head 17 are located inside the isolator 3. By using the peristaltic pump 12 in conjunction with the first rubber tube 11, the non-sterile solution inside the storage tank 2 can be transferred to the first sterile capsule filter 15 and the second sterile capsule filter 16. This allows the first sterile capsule filter 15 and the second sterile capsule filter 16 to perform multi-stage sterilization filtration of the non-sterile solution in one go before it enters the isolator 3. This eliminates the need for repeated sterilization filtration operations by personnel and effectively improves the convenience of sterilization filtration of non-sterile solutions.
