Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically relating to a vial cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Vials, also known as borosilicate glass or soda-lime glass molded injection vials, are small bottles sealed with a rubber stopper and an aluminum-plastic composite cap. They are typically made of high-quality glass, such as sodium borosilicate glass, which has excellent chemical resistance and stability, will not react with or be contaminated by drugs. Furthermore, the glass has high transparency, allowing for clear observation and inspection of the drug's condition and quality. They are widely used in the pharmaceutical field and are suitable for the storage and delivery of various injectable medications.

[0003] During the production, transportation, and storage of vials, they may be contaminated by visible foreign matter, insoluble particles, microorganisms, endotoxins, and chemical pollutants. These pollutants may negatively affect the quality and safety of the drugs, and therefore need to be removed through a cleaning process. Currently, the cleaning of vials usually involves immersing them in a water tank, which is inefficient and requires repeatedly emptying the cleaning water and impurities from the vials, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, this application proposes a vial cleaning machine. Utility Model Content

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention, through the arrangement of a cleaning tank, a conveyor table, and a slide rail, allows vials to be inverted and conveyed to the conveyor table via a front-end process. Driven by a second drive component, the top plate is moved above the conveyor table. The vials are then clamped upside down by a clamping mechanism, and the top plate is moved above the cleaning tank. Water is sprayed through nozzles to clean the vials. This cleaning structure is highly automated, enabling batch cleaning of vials with high efficiency.

[0017] This invention utilizes a clamping mechanism. Vials are inverted and conveyed to a conveyor table via a front-end process. An electric telescopic arm retracts, lowering a top plate so that the rubber pad at the bottom of the top plate contacts the bottom of the vial. A pair of clamping strips are positioned on both sides of the vial, aligned with its neck. Then, a pair of first electric push rods retract, driving an L-shaped connecting arm to push the clamping strips together. This forces the rubber strips on the clamping strips to embed into the neck of the vial, clamping it inverted. Because the vial is clamped inverted, cleaning water and impurities can fall directly into the cleaning tank for collection during the cleaning process, making it more convenient and efficient.

[0018] This invention features a second electric push rod. The extension and retraction of the second electric push rod can push the tray to drive a pair of L-shaped connecting arms and clamping strips to rise and fall as a whole, adjusting the distance between the pair of clamping strips and the top plate. This allows it to adapt to vials of different capacities and has high adaptability. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] This embodiment provides a vial washing machine, the structural schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-4As shown, the system includes a cleaning tank 1 and a conveyor 2, which are arranged along the same length. Multiple nozzles 7 are arranged side-by-side inside the cleaning tank 1. A slide rail 3 is located on one side of the cleaning tank 1 and the conveyor 2. A mounting frame 4 and a second drive assembly 22 for driving the mounting frame 4 to move and lift are mounted on the slide rail 3. A top plate 5 is fixed to the mounting frame 4, located above the cleaning tank 1 and the conveyor 2. A clamping mechanism 6 is located at the bottom of the top plate 5, capable of holding the vials upside down. Through this structure, the vials are... The vials are inverted and conveyed from the front-end process to the conveyor table 2. The second drive component 22 controls the mounting frame 4 to move the top plate 5 horizontally above the conveyor table 2. The clamping mechanism 6 clamps the vials inverted and then moves them above the cleaning tank 1. Water is sprayed from the nozzle 7 to clean the vials. This cleaning structure is highly automated and can achieve batch cleaning of vials with high cleaning efficiency. In addition, the inverted clamping of the vials allows the cleaning water and impurities to fall directly into the cleaning tank 1 for collection during the cleaning process, making it more convenient and efficient.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the second drive assembly 22 includes a slide block 8 slidably embedded in the slide rail 3, an electric telescopic arm 9 vertically mounted on the slide block 8, a lead screw 10 rotatably mounted in the slide rail 3, and a motor 11 mounted at the end of the slide rail 3 for driving the lead screw 10 to rotate. The motor 11 is connected to the lead screw 10 in a transmission connection, the slide block 8 is threadedly fitted to the lead screw 10, and the mounting frame 4 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic arm 9. By starting the motor 11 to drive the lead screw 10 to rotate, the slide block 8 can be driven to move the electric telescopic arm 9 and the mounting frame 4 in translation. By controlling the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic arm 9, the height of the mounting frame 4 and the top plate 5 can be adjusted to facilitate the clamping and cleaning of vials.

[0028] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 6 includes clamping strips 12 disposed below the top plate 5. A pair of clamping strips 12 are arranged side-by-side and distributed along the length of the cleaning tank 1. An L-shaped connecting arm 13 is fixedly connected to the side of each pair of clamping strips 12 that is far apart from each other. The top of the L-shaped connecting arm 13 extends above the top plate 5. A first driving assembly 14 is disposed on the top of the top plate 5 for driving the pair of L-shaped connecting arms 13 to move closer together and to rise and fall. In this embodiment, a rubber pad 15 is attached to the lower surface of the top plate 5. A rubber strip 16, capable of embedding into the neck of a vial, is disposed on the opposite side of each pair of clamping strips 12. After being inverted and conveyed to the conveyor table 2 via the front-end process, the top plate 5 moves above the conveyor table 2. The electric telescopic arm 9 is controlled to retract, causing the top plate 5 to descend, so that the rubber pad 15 at the bottom of the top plate 5 abuts against the bottom of the vial. A pair of clamping strips 12 are placed on both sides of the vial and aligned with the neck of the vial. Then, the first drive assembly 14 controls and drives the L-shaped connecting arm 13 to push the pair of clamping strips 12 together, forcing the rubber strips 16 on the pair of clamping strips 12 to embed into the neck of the vial and clamp the vial. Thus, the vial is inverted and clamped. The rubber pad 15 and the rubber strips 16 can reduce wear on the vial.

[0029] In this embodiment, the opposing sides of a pair of rubber strips 16 are set as arc surfaces to adapt to the curvature of the bottle neck.

[0030] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the first driving assembly 14 includes a support plate 17 disposed above the top plate 5. A pair of first electric push rods 18 are symmetrically disposed on the support plate 17. The telescopic ends of the pair of first electric push rods 18 are respectively fixedly connected to a pair of L-shaped connecting arms 13. By activating the retraction of the pair of first electric push rods 18, the L-shaped connecting arms 13 can be driven to push the pair of clamping strips 12 closer together for clamping vials. The first driving assembly 14 also includes a second electric push rod 19 vertically fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 5. The support plate 17 is fixed to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 19. By extending and retracting the second electric push rod 19, the support plate 17 can be pushed to drive the pair of L-shaped connecting arms 13 and the clamping strips 12 to rise and fall as a whole, adjusting the distance between the pair of clamping strips 12 and the top plate 5 to adapt to vials of different capacity specifications.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, each of the top ends of a pair of L-shaped connecting arms 13 is provided with an auxiliary arm 20 facing each other, and a sleeve arm 21 is movably connected between the pair of auxiliary arms 20. The sleeve arm 21 and the auxiliary arm 20 can assist in guiding the close movement of the pair of L-shaped connecting arms 13.

[0032] Working principle: During use, the vial is inverted and conveyed to the conveyor table 2 via the front-end process. The motor 11 is started, driving the lead screw 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the slide 8 to move the electric telescopic arm 9 and the mounting frame 4 horizontally, causing the top plate 5 to move above the conveyor table 2. The electric telescopic arm 9 is then retracted, causing the top plate 5 to descend, so that the rubber pad 15 at the bottom of the top plate 5 abuts against the bottom of the vial. A pair of clamping strips 12 are placed on both sides of the vial, aligned with the neck of the vial. Then, a pair of first electric push rods 18 are activated to retract, driving the L-shaped connecting arm 13 to push the pair of clamping strips 12 closer together, forcing the rubber strips 16 on the clamping strips 12 to embed into the neck of the vial and clamp it. Thus, the vial is inverted and clamped. The mounting frame is then controlled... 4. The top plate 5 is moved to the top of the cleaning tank 1 by translation, and the electric telescopic arm 9 is controlled to push the top plate 5 down so that the mouth of the inverted vial is close to the nozzle 7. Water is sprayed through the nozzle 7 to clean the vial. This cleaning structure has a high degree of automation and can achieve batch cleaning of vials with high cleaning efficiency. In addition, a pair of clamping strips 12 are used to clamp the inverted vials in cooperation with the top plate 5. During the cleaning process, the cleaning water and impurities can fall directly into the cleaning tank 1 for collection, which is more convenient. Furthermore, the second electric push rod 19 can be extended and retracted to push the tray 17 to drive the pair of L-shaped connecting arms 13 and the clamping strips 12 to rise and fall as a whole. The distance between the pair of clamping strips 12 and the top plate 5 can be adjusted to accommodate vials of different capacity specifications, which has high adaptability.

[0033] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
