Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thawing supports, specifically to a condensate collection support. Background Technology

[0002] The stability of pharmaceutical products is easily affected by factors such as temperature, light, pH, electrolytes, air, humidity, and storage time. The stability of refrigerated and frozen pharmaceutical products is significantly impacted by temperature; excessively high or low storage temperatures can affect their quality. This is especially true for protein and peptide drugs, where temperature is the most critical factor affecting their stability. Generally, the higher the temperature, the worse the drug's stability. Protein drugs typically require lyophilization or storage at low temperatures to maintain their efficacy.

[0003] Protein-based pharmaceutical solutions can be stored at low temperatures in containers such as storage bags. Before use, they need to be thawed to allow the solution to flow out of the storage bag. In related technologies, the storage bag can be placed on a thawing rack. During the thawing stage, condensation from the storage bag will drip down onto a leveling plate, potentially affecting room humidity. Furthermore, this condensation is detrimental to the control of microorganisms in the clean area, impacting the cleanliness of the production process. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems mentioned above, this utility model provides a condensate collection bracket, comprising:

[0005] Erecting the frame;

[0006] At least one thawing layer, on which items to be thawed are placed, the thawing layer is fixedly connected to the stand, and any of the thawing layers is provided with a drainage space;

[0007] A water collection structure is installed on the support frame, with the water collection end of the water collection structure facing the bottom of all the drainage spaces to collect and hold the condensate flowing down from the drainage spaces.

[0008] In this type of condensate collection bracket, one or more thawing layers are set on the upright. The thawing layer serves as a supporting base for placing items to be thawed, allowing multiple items to be placed together for thawing. During the thawing stage, the condensate on the items to be thawed, such as liquid storage bags, flows down from the drainage space of the thawing layer. The water collection structure collects and holds all the condensate, preventing it from affecting the humidity and cleanliness of the work area.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the water collection structure is provided with a water outlet, which is located on the side of the water collection structure away from the thawing layer, and the water outlet is located at the intersection of the inner wall of the water collection structure extending towards the lower side.

[0010] In this design, the condensate collection bracket places the outlet at the intersection of the inner wall of the water collection structure extending towards the lower side. This allows the condensate formed during thawing to flow through the outlet by its own weight, thus preventing excessive condensate from remaining on the inner wall of the water collection structure, which would cause moisture evaporation and affect the humidity and cleanliness of the work area.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the inner wall of the water collection structure is at least partially configured as at least three interlocking guide surfaces, any one of which is inclined downward toward the water outlet.

[0012] The condensate collection bracket of this design has an inner wall composed of multiple interlocking guide surfaces, which allow the thawed condensate to flow down the inclined guide surfaces to the outlet for collection. Its design is simple and easy to manufacture and implement.

[0013] In one optional implementation, a water guide line is provided at the junction of any two adjacent spliced ​​guide surfaces, and the water guide line is connected to the water inlet port of the water outlet.

[0014] The condensate collection bracket of this solution uses a water guide line to collect and converge the condensate on the adjacent guide surface, and guide it to the water outlet. This helps to reduce moisture evaporation, reduce the humidity of the work area, and improve the cleanliness of the work area.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, the inner wall of the water collection structure is at least partially configured as a flow guide surface of a rotating body structure, the upper diameter of the flow guide surface is larger than the lower diameter of the flow guide surface, and the water outlet is configured as a circular hole structure.

[0016] The condensate collection bracket of this design has an inner wall composed of a rotating guide surface, which forms an inverted conical wall. This allows the thawed condensate to flow down the inverted conical wall to the outlet hole for collection. Its design is simple and easy to manufacture and implement.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, the bottom of the water collection structure is provided with a threaded interface, which is fixedly connected to the water outlet. The outer wall of the threaded interface is provided with a threaded section, and the threaded interface is adapted to be threadedly connected to the collection bottle.

[0018] The condensate collection bracket of this design has a threaded interface at the bottom of the water collection structure. The threaded interface is connected to the water outlet, so that the collection bottle can be connected through the threaded interface, allowing the condensate collected by the water collection structure to enter the collection bottle, reducing the adverse evaporation of condensate and ensuring the humidity and cleanliness of the working area.

[0019] In one optional embodiment, the water collection structure is provided with a baffle, which surrounds the outer edge of the water collection structure, and the water collection area formed by the baffle covers the projection of the drainage space on the horizontal plane.

[0020] This type of condensate collection bracket, by enclosing the outer edge of the water collection structure with a baffle, ensures that the condensate falling from the drainage space can enter the water collection area, so that the condensate can be collected in a unified manner, thereby reducing the humidity of the work area and ensuring the cleanliness of the work area.

[0021] In one optional embodiment, the condensate collection bracket further includes several self-locking wheels, the mounting ends of which are fixed to the bottom side of the upright.

[0022] In one optional embodiment, the thawing layer includes a plurality of parallel, spaced-apart support rods, with a drainage gap formed between any two adjacent support rods, and all the drainage gaps constitute the drainage space.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the thawing layer is configured as a grid structure having a plurality of drain outlets, all of which constitute the drainage space.

[0024] In one optional embodiment, a bending arm is provided on the outer end of the thawing layer, and the thawing layer is fixedly connected to the bracket through the bending arm; the height of the thawing layer connected to one side of the bending arm is lower than the height of the support frame connected to the other side of the bending arm.

[0025] The condensate collection bracket in this design uses a bent arm to allow the thawing layer to sink, preventing condensate from the items to be thawed from transferring to the support frame and causing condensate to flow out, which would affect the humidity and cleanliness of the work area.

[0026] In one alternative implementation, two adjacent thawing layers are spaced apart to form a loading space suitable for placing items to be thawed. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Example

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a condensate collection bracket, including a stand 1, a thawing layer 2, and a water collection structure 3; the thawing layer 2 is suitable for placing items to be thawed, the thawing layer 2 is fixedly connected to the stand 1, and a drainage space is constructed on any thawing layer 2; the water collection structure 3 is installed on the stand 1, and the water collection end of the water collection structure 3 is aligned with the bottom of all drainage spaces to receive and contain the condensate flowing down from the drainage spaces.

[0041] One or more thawing layers 2 are set on the stand 1. The thawing layer 2 serves as a supporting base for placing items to be thawed, so that multiple items to be thawed can be placed together for thawing. During the thawing stage, the condensate on the items to be thawed, such as liquid storage bags, flows down from the drainage space of the thawing layer 2. The water collection structure 3 collects and receives all the condensate, so as to avoid affecting the humidity and cleanliness of the work area.

[0042] For the structural design implementation of frame 1:

[0043] For example, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 is configured with multiple column members, and the thawing layer 2 and the water collection structure 3 are fixedly installed on the column members, with the thawing layer 2 and the water collection structure 3 spaced apart.

[0044] For example, in some embodiments, the support frame 1 is configured as a frame structure, the thawing layer 2 is fixedly placed on the frame structure, the frame structure is provided with the same number of assembly layers as the thawing layer 2, and the assembly layers are configured as square support frames.

[0045] For example, in some embodiments, the stand 1 is configured as a frame with lateral space clearance to facilitate the user's loading and unloading of thawed items.

[0046] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the condensate collection bracket also includes several self-locking wheels 4, the mounting ends of which are fixed to the bottom side of the upright frame 1. The self-locking wheels 4 can be used to move or position the condensate collection bracket, allowing the items to be thawed to be transported and moved along with the condensate collection bracket.

[0047] For the implementation of the structural design of the thawing layer 2:

[0048] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the thawing layer 2 includes several parallel and spaced support rods 21. A drainage gap 22 is formed between any two adjacent support rods 21, and all drainage gaps 22 constitute a drainage space. When an item to be thawed, such as a liquid storage bag, is placed on the thawing layer 2, condensed water droplets drip down through the drainage gaps 22 between the support rods 21 and are collected by the water collection structure 3.

[0049] In one alternative embodiment, the thawing layer 2 is configured as a grid structure having a plurality of drainage outlets, all of which constitute a drainage space.

[0050] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, a bending arm 23 is provided on the outer end of the thawing layer 2. The thawing layer 2 is fixedly connected to the support through the bending arm 23. The height of the thawing layer 2 connected to one side of the bending arm 23 is lower than the height of the support frame 1 connected to the other side of the bending arm 23. The design of the bending arm 23 makes the thawing layer 2 sink, preventing condensation on the items to be thawed from contacting and transferring to the support frame 1, causing condensation to flow out and affecting the humidity and cleanliness of the working area.

[0051] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two adjacent thawing layers 2 are spaced apart to form a loading space suitable for placing items to be thawed.

[0052] For the implementation of the structural design of water collection structure 3:

[0053] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water collection structure 3 is provided with a water outlet 32. The water outlet 32 ​​is located on the side of the water collection structure 3 away from the thawing layer 2. The water outlet 32 ​​is located at the intersection of the inner wall of the water collection structure 3 extending towards the lower side.

[0054] With this solution, the water outlet 32 ​​is set at the intersection of the inner wall of the water collection structure 3 extending towards the lower side. The condensate formed by thawing is collected by its own weight through the water outlet 32, avoiding excessive condensate on the inner wall of the water collection structure 3, which would cause water evaporation and affect the humidity and cleanliness of the working area.

[0055] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 3As shown, the inner wall of the water collection structure 3 is at least partially configured with at least three interlocking guide surfaces 31, any one of which is inclined downward toward the outlet hole 32. In one specific embodiment, the inner wall of the water collection structure 3 is provided with four interlocking guide surfaces 31.

[0056] With this design, the inner wall of the water collection structure 3 is composed of multiple interlocking guide surfaces 31, which allow the thawed condensate to flow down the inclined guide surfaces 31 to the outlet hole 32 for collection. Its design is simple and easy to manufacture and implement.

[0057] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, a water guide line 34 is provided at the junction of any two adjacent spliced ​​guide surfaces 31, and the water guide line 34 is connected to the water inlet port of the water outlet 32. The water guide line 34 is set with a curved transition to the guide surfaces 31 on both sides, and the water guide line 34 can be set as a trough formed by the combination of the concave curved surfaces of two adjacent spliced ​​guide surfaces 31.

[0058] This method uses the water guide line 34 to collect and gather the condensate on the adjacent guide surface 31 and guide it to the water outlet 32. This helps to reduce moisture evaporation, reduce the humidity of the work area, and improve the cleanliness of the work area.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, the inner wall of the water collection structure 3 is at least partially configured as a flow guide surface 31 of a rotating body structure, the upper diameter of the flow guide surface 31 is larger than the lower diameter of the flow guide surface 31, and the water outlet 32 ​​is configured as a circular hole structure.

[0060] With this scheme, the inner wall of the water collection structure 3 is composed of a flow guide surface 31 of a rotating body structure, which forms an inverted cone wall surface, allowing the thawed condensate to flow down to the water outlet 32 ​​along the inverted cone wall surface for collection and merging. Its shape and structure are simple and easy to manufacture and implement.

[0061] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the water collection structure 3 is provided with a threaded interface 33, which is fixedly connected to the water outlet 32. The outer wall of the threaded interface 33 is provided with a threaded section, and the threaded interface 33 is suitable for being threadedly connected to the collection bottle 5.

[0062] With this solution, a threaded interface 33 is set at the bottom of the water collection structure 3. The threaded interface 33 is connected to the water outlet 32 ​​so that the collection bottle 5 can be connected through the threaded interface 33, so that the condensate collected by the water collection structure 3 can enter the collection bottle 5, reducing the adverse evaporation of condensate and ensuring the humidity and cleanliness of the working area. After the defrosting operation is completed, the collection bottle 5 can be disassembled through the thread to clean the water collection structure 3.

[0063] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water collection structure 3 is provided with a baffle 35, which is arranged around the outer edge of the water collection structure 3. The water collection area formed by the baffle 35 covers the projection of the drainage space on the horizontal plane.

[0064] This solution uses a retaining edge 35 to enclose the outer edge of the water collection structure 3, ensuring that the condensate falling from the drainage space can enter the water collection area, allowing the condensate to flow together and be contained, thereby reducing the humidity of the work area and ensuring the cleanliness of the work area.

[0065] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
