AI Technical Summary
The existing nest plate structure requires a large external force during plug transfer, and the sealing part is easily deformed by pressure, affecting the sealing performance and causing damage.
The inner surface of the receiving tube is designed as a continuous arc surface, and the body of the receiving tube bulges outward. The inlet and outlet diameters are smaller than the sealing part of the plug. Combined with the annular flange and the arc transition structure, it ensures that the plug enters the syringe barrel smoothly and protects the sealing part.
This reduces the risk of damage to the stopper seal, ensures that the stopper is not easily dropped out of the container without external force, and improves the efficiency and sealing of stopper transfer.

[0002] Pre-filled syringe, such as the patent application (TW202348259A) disclosed, mainly includes syringe barrel and plug, and the pharmaceutical factory fills the drug into the syringe barrel under the aseptic condition, and then the plug is sealed and fixed at the opening of the syringe barrel through the plug machine (including manual machine, semi-automatic machine and full-automatic machine).
[0003] The plug of the pre-filled syringe is made of rubber or silica gel material as a standard part, so that the plug itself has certain elasticity, and its structure is as shown in Figure 5 The lower end of the plug 2 is conical structure, and the outer periphery of the plug 2 is provided with three sealing parts 2a (key working surface), and the inner recess 2b is arranged between the adjacent sealing parts 2a.
[0004] At present, the nest plate is often used to transfer the plug in the plug process, a plurality of cylindrical barrels are arranged on the nest plate, the plug 2 is extruded into the cylindrical barrel by using external force (the plug can be extruded into the nest plate in advance), the plug is fixed in the cylindrical barrel by using the friction force between the plug and the inner wall of the cylindrical barrel, then the nest plate is transferred above the syringe barrel filled with the drug, and then the plug is extruded from the cylindrical barrel by using external force and is inserted into the opening of the syringe barrel. However, since the plug needs to generate friction with the inner wall of the entire cylindrical barrel during extrusion and extrusion, the external force required for extrusion and extrusion is large, in addition, the sealing part of the plug is in a state of pressure deformation in the cylindrical barrel, and long-term pressure deformation may have certain influence on the sealing property thereafter, therefore the existing nest plate structure needs to be further improved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0005] The utility model aims at making up for the above-mentioned shortage, and discloses the nest plate structure with simple structure, reason, convenient processing and the ability of avoiding the damage to the sealing part of the plug to the society.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0027] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or position based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0028] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.
[0029] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a nest board structure includes a nest board body 1, on which a plurality of receiving cylinders 3 for accommodating plugs 2 are provided. The upper end of the receiving cylinder 3 is provided with an inlet 3a, and the lower end of the receiving cylinder 3 is provided with an outlet 3b. The diameter of the inlet 3a and the outlet 3b is smaller than the diameter of the sealing part 2a of the plug 2, and the cylinder body of the receiving cylinder 3 bulges outward.
[0030] The inner surface of the receiving cylinder 3 is a continuous arc surface. The continuous arc surface design ensures the smoothness of the inner surface of the receiving cylinder 3, which can minimize the damage to the sealing part 2a of the plug 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the cross-section of the receiving cylinder 3 is an arc surface.
[0032] As an extension, the inner surface of the cross-section of the receiving cylinder 3 can also be an elliptical arc surface.
[0033] The upper end of the receiving cylinder 3 transitions to the nest plate body 1 via an arc 3c. The arc 3c acts as a guide when the plug 2 is squeezed into the receiving cylinder 3, making the insertion of the plug 2 smoother, and also provides some protection for the sealing part 2a of the plug 2.
[0034] The nest plate body 1 and the receiving cylinder 3 are integral structures.
[0035] The container cylinders 3 are arranged in a matrix, that is, in a horizontal row of M × vertical column of N, where M and N are both positive integers. Figure 1 Only a portion of the nest plate is shown, in which the receiving cylinders 3 are distributed in a 2×2 matrix. This arrangement allows for sufficient space between adjacent receiving cylinders 3, facilitating the design of the plug 2 insertion and extrusion equipment.
[0036] As an extension, the container cylinders 3 can also be distributed in a honeycomb pattern. Specifically, the container cylinders 3 are placed at the six vertices and the center point of a regular hexagon and distributed throughout the entire nest plate body 1 in this way. In this distribution method, the container cylinders 3 are more compact, and more container cylinders 3 can be placed on the same area of the nest plate body 1 than in a matrix distribution.
[0037] Example 2, as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the nest plate structure is based on the first embodiment. The lower end of the receiving cylinder 3 extends radially inward to form an annular baffle 31, and the inner wall of the receiving cylinder 3 and the annular baffle 31 adopt an arc transition.
[0038] When installing the stopper 2, it is squeezed out from top to bottom and into the syringe barrel. Because the lower end of the receiving cylinder 3 is provided with an annular baffle 31, the sealing part of the stopper 2 is blocked by the annular baffle 31 and shrinks inward before being squeezed into the syringe barrel, so that the stopper 2 can enter the syringe barrel more smoothly.
[0039] The nesting plate structure of this utility model features an outward-bulging housing cylinder 3, which expands the internal space of the housing cylinder 3 from a cylindrical shape to a drum shape. This prevents the inner wall of the housing cylinder 3 from compressing the sealing portion 2a of the plug 2 when the plug 2 is placed inside, reducing the risk of damage to the sealing portion 2a. The diameters of the inlet 3a and outlet 3b of the housing cylinder 3 are smaller than the diameter of the sealing portion 2a of the plug 2. This ensures that the plug 2 will not fall out of the housing cylinder 3 without external force, regardless of whether the nesting plate is placed upright or upside down, facilitating the transportation and stacking of nesting plates pre-inserted with the plug 2.
[0040] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the implementation and protection scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, it should be understood that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made according to the content of the present application and drawings should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
