Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial limit determination technology, specifically to a testing device for rapidly determining the microbial limit of gelatin empty capsules. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the modern pharmaceutical industry, the safety and efficacy of drug packaging materials have become crucial aspects of drug quality control. Gelatin empty capsules, as a widely used drug packaging material, directly impact the safety and efficacy of medications. However, due to potential microbial contamination during the production process, the microbial limits of gelatin empty capsules may fail to meet relevant standards and requirements, potentially posing health risks to patients.
[0003] In determining the microbial limits of gelatin capsules, one method is the membrane filtration test. A specified amount of test solution is taken and filtered through a membrane filter, allowing microorganisms to be trapped on the filter membrane. The filter membrane is then transferred to a suitable culture medium for incubation, and the number of microbial colonies growing on the filter membrane is counted. This method can enrich microorganisms and can accurately and quickly determine the number of microorganisms.
[0004] Culture media need to be placed in an incubator to cultivate microorganisms in order to provide a suitable growth environment and ensure the consistency of experimental conditions. However, most incubators use fixed-installation ultraviolet lamps for internal sterilization. At this time, there may be some areas inside the chamber that cannot be directly irradiated by light, resulting in blind spots. At the same time, external bacteria can also enter through the air inlet and outlet of the chamber, which will not effectively sterilize the microorganisms and affect the test results for determining the microbial limits of empty capsules.
[0005] Therefore, a testing device for rapidly determining the microbial limits of gelatin empty capsules is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A testing device for rapidly determining the microbial limits of gelatin empty capsules includes an incubator body. Inside the incubator body is a movable mounting assembly for sterilizing the interior of the incubator body. An ultraviolet lamp is mounted on the surface of the movable mounting assembly.

The inner wall of the connecting assembly is provided with a mounting assembly for sterilizing the interior of the incubator body. A plastic clip is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting assembly. An activated carbon plate is movably inserted into the inner wall of the mounting assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable installation assembly includes a motor, the inner wall of the incubator body is fixedly connected to the motor, and the output end of the motor is rotatably connected to the incubator body. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the incubator body. A movable block is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, and the movable block is in contact with the inner wall of the incubator body. A lamp holder is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable block, and an ultraviolet lamp is disposed on the lamp holder.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a connecting frame, the inner wall of the incubator body is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, and the plastic clip is fixedly connected to the connecting frame. The surface of the connecting frame is provided with an insertion interface, and the inner wall of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to an insertion rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the placement component includes an overlapping block, the overlapping block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator body, and a placement mesh frame is overlapped on the inner wall of the overlapping block.
[0013] Furthermore, there are two sets of connecting components, and the opening of the bottom plug is set upwards.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] This invention relates to a UV lamp mounted on a lamp holder. A movable mounting assembly allows the UV lamp to move up and down inside the incubator. Two symmetrically arranged UV lamps ensure comprehensive irradiation of the incubator's interior. Connecting components, mounting components, and plastic clips are installed at the air inlet and outlet of the incubator for installing activated carbon plates.

[0026] like Figure 1-5As shown, a testing device for rapidly determining the microbial limits of gelatin empty capsules includes an incubator body 1. Inside the incubator body 1, a movable mounting assembly 2 for sterilization is installed. An ultraviolet lamp 3 is mounted on the surface of the movable mounting assembly 2. The inner wall of the incubator body 1 has a connecting assembly 4 for sterilization, and the inner wall of the connecting assembly 4 has an mounting assembly 5 for sterilization. A plastic clip 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting assembly 4. An activated carbon plate 7 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the mounting assembly 5. The incubator body 1 also has a placement assembly 8 for placing culture medium. Specifically, in this rapid testing device for determining the microbial limits of gelatin empty capsules, the ultraviolet lamp 3 is mounted on the movable mounting assembly 2. The movable mounting assembly 2 can move the ultraviolet lamp 3 inside the incubator body 1. Two sets of ultraviolet lamps 3 are symmetrically arranged inside the incubator body 1. The up-and-down movement of the ultraviolet lamps 3 allows for comprehensive irradiation of the interior of the incubator body 1, thereby sterilizing the interior. At the internal air inlet and outlet, a connecting component 4 is installed. Activated carbon plate 7 can be installed on the mounting component 5. The activated carbon plate 7 is installed inside the connecting component 4 via the mounting component 5. At this time, the air entering the incubator body 1 through the air inlet and outlet can be filtered by the activated carbon plate 7. The activated carbon plate 7 can effectively remove some organic pollutants and some microorganisms in the air, and also has a deodorizing effect. When installing, the mounting component 5 can be easily installed on the connecting component 4 via the plastic clip 6. The incubator body 1 is set with a placement component 8 inside, and the culture medium can be placed on the placement component 8 for cultivation. At the same time, the placement component 8 does not affect the movement of the ultraviolet lamp 3. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 3, which can move up and down, and two sets of symmetrically arranged ultraviolet lamps 3 can effectively sterilize the inside of the incubator body 1. The sterilization structure installed at the air inlet and outlet prevents external bacteria from entering the inside of the incubator body 1, avoiding the problem that ineffective sterilization will affect the test results of the microbial limit of the empty capsule.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the mobile mounting assembly 2 includes a motor 201. The motor 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator body 1, and the output end of the motor 201 is rotatably connected to the incubator body 1. A threaded rod 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201, and the threaded rod 202 is rotatably connected to the incubator body 1. A moving block 203 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 202, and the moving block 203 is in contact with the inner wall of the incubator body 1. A lamp holder 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving block 203, and an ultraviolet lamp 3 is mounted on the lamp holder 204. Specifically, the ultraviolet lamp 3 is mounted on the lamp holder 204 and used in the mobile mounting assembly 2. The ultraviolet lamp 3 is driven by the mobile mounting assembly 2. The ultraviolet lamp 3 moves up and down inside the incubator body 1, allowing the ultraviolet lamp 3 to irradiate the inside of the incubator body 1 comprehensively. At the same time, the arrangement of two sets of symmetrical ultraviolet lamps 3 can also effectively irradiate the surface of the connecting component 4, thereby effectively sterilizing the inside of the incubator body 1. The motor 201 runs, and the output end of the motor 201 drives the threaded rod 202 to rotate. The threaded rod 202 drives the moving block 203 on the surface to move up and down. The moving block 203 drives the lamp holder 204 to move. The lamp holder 204 drives the ultraviolet lamp 3 to move inside the incubator body 1, thereby irradiating and sterilizing the inside of the incubator body 1 through the ultraviolet lamp 3.
[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the connecting component 4 includes a connecting frame 401. The connecting frame 401 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator body 1, and the plastic clip 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 401. An insertion interface 402 is provided through the surface of the connecting frame 401, and an insertion rail 403 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 401. Specifically, the connecting component 4 is configured to install the mounting component 5 and the activated carbon plate 7 inside the incubator body 1, so that external bacteria will not enter the interior of the incubator body 1. The connecting frame 401 is installed and fixed at the air inlet and outlet inside the incubator body 1 to block the air inlet and outlet inside the incubator body 1. The insertion interface 402 and the insertion rail 403 are used for the installation of the mounting component 5 inside the connecting frame 401.
[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown, the mounting component 5 includes a mounting frame 501, with the mounting frame 501 movably inserted into the inner wall of the insertion interface 402. The surface of the mounting frame 501 has a mounting groove 502, and the activated carbon plate 7 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the mounting groove 502. The activated carbon plate 7 also fits against the inner wall of the insertion rail 403. A toggle block 503 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame 501. Specifically, in the mounting component 5, the activated carbon plate 7 is inserted into the mounting groove 502. During installation, the activated carbon plate 7 moves the plastic clip 6, allowing the mounting frame 501 to be inserted into the interior of the connecting frame 401 through the insertion interface 402. The mounting frame 501 is then inserted into and connected to the... In the insertion rail 403, after the mounting frame 501 is inserted into the insertion rail 403, the plastic clip 6 can lock the mounting frame 501 into the connecting frame 401, completing the installation of the activated carbon plate 7. At this time, the activated carbon plate 7 is limited by the mounting groove 502 and the insertion rail 403, so that the activated carbon plate 7 fits tightly in the connecting frame 401 for use. The activated carbon plate 7 filters and blocks external bacteria. When disassembling the activated carbon plate 7, simply move the plastic clip 6, and the mounting frame 501 can be pulled out of the connecting frame 401 by the moving block 503, and the activated carbon plate 7 can be moved outward for replacement. At this time, the disassembly and assembly of the activated carbon plate 7 is also relatively convenient.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the placement component 8 includes an overlapping block 801. The overlapping block 801 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator body 1, and a placement mesh frame 802 overlaps the inner wall of the overlapping block 801. Specifically, the placement component 8 is set up for placing and culturing the culture medium inside the incubator body 1. The overlapping block 801 is installed on the placement mesh frame 802, and the culture medium is placed on the placement mesh frame 802. The overlapping block 801 will not obstruct the movement of the ultraviolet lamp 3. An inclined support block can also be set at the bottom of the overlapping block 801 so that the overlapping block 801 can stably support the placement mesh frame 802.
[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, there are two sets of connecting components 4, and the opening of the bottom plug interface 402 is set upwards; specifically, the two sets of connecting components 4 cover and block the air inlet and outlet inside the incubator body 1. The opening of the bottom plug interface 402 is set upwards, so that the plastic clip 6 can be easily moved when the mounting frame 501 is disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly process of the mounting frame 501.
[0032] In summary: This rapid testing device for determining the microbial limits of gelatin empty capsules uses an ultraviolet lamp 3 mounted on a lamp holder 204. The movable mounting assembly 2 allows the ultraviolet lamp 3 to move up and down inside the incubator body 1. The motor 201 operates, and its output drives the threaded rod 202 to rotate. The threaded rod 202 drives the moving block 203 on its surface to move up and down, which in turn moves the lamp holder 204 up and down. During sterilization, the ultraviolet lamp 3 can comprehensively irradiate the interior of the incubator body 1. Simultaneously, the symmetrical arrangement of two sets of ultraviolet lamps 3 ensures effective sterilization of the interior of the incubator body 1. A connecting frame 401 is installed at the air inlet and outlet inside the incubator body 1. When the mounting assembly 5 is installed on the connecting frame 401, the plastic clip 6 is moved, allowing the mounting frame 501 to be inserted into the connector 402. Inside frame 401, mounting frame 501 is inserted into rail 403. Activated carbon plate 7 is installed in lever block 503. After mounting frame 501 is inserted into rail 403, plastic clip 6 can engage mounting frame 501 in connecting frame 401, completing the installation of activated carbon plate 7. At this time, activated carbon plate 7 is limited by mounting groove 502 and rail 403. The setting of activated carbon plate 7 can effectively remove some organic pollutants and some microorganisms in the air, and also play a deodorizing role. When replacing activated carbon plate 7, simply move plastic clip 6, and the mounting frame 501 can be pulled out of connecting frame 401 through lever block 503 to move activated carbon plate 7 outward for replacement. The setting of placement component 8 is that placement mesh frame 802 overlaps with overlapping block 801 for use. Culture medium is placed on placement mesh frame 802 for cultivation. Placement component 8 will not block the up and down movement of ultraviolet lamp 3.
