[0049] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic disinfection and transfer device, which includes a spray mechanism 2 and a static disinfection mechanism 3. The spray mechanism 2 includes a spray chamber 21, a first door assembly 22, and a spray assembly 23. The spray assembly 23 is disposed in the spray chamber 21 and is used to spray disinfectant onto the material. A first feed inlet 211 is provided on one side of the spray chamber 21. The first door assembly 22 is movably connected to the spray chamber 21 and can block the first feed inlet 211. The static disinfection mechanism 3 is disposed downstream of the spray mechanism 2. The static disinfection mechanism 3 includes a static chamber 31 and a second door assembly 33. The static chamber 31 can communicate with the spray chamber 21. A second feed inlet 311 is provided on one side of the static chamber 31. The second door assembly 33 is movably connected to the static chamber 31 and can block the second feed inlet 311.
[0050] When disinfecting materials, the first door assembly 22 opens, the first inlet 211 opens, and the material enters the spray chamber 21. Then, the first door assembly 22 closes, the first inlet 211 is sealed, and the spray assembly 23 sprays disinfectant onto the material in the spray chamber 21. After disinfection, the material is transferred to the settling chamber 31 for further disinfection. During this process, the second door assembly 33 seals the second inlet 311. Therefore, both the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31 are sealed during spraying and settling. By setting up the spraying mechanism 2 and the settling disinfection mechanism 3, the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31 are in a relatively sealed state during material disinfection, effectively preventing disinfectant leakage, reducing the harm of disinfectant to operators, and lowering GMP quality and EHS risks. It should be noted that the material in this embodiment is pharmaceutical packaging, such as vials or pre-filled sealed boxes, etc., and is not limited thereto. It should also be noted that the disinfectant in this embodiment is a disinfectant solution. In other embodiments, disinfectant powder or the like can also be used, and there are no limitations on this.
[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the second feed inlet 311 is located on the side of the settling chamber 31 away from the spray chamber 21. In other embodiments, the location of the second feed inlet 311 is not limited.
[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, an observation window (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side wall of the spray chamber 21. The observation window is used to observe the spraying situation inside the spray chamber 21.
[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first door assembly 22 includes a first door body 221 and a first driving member 222. The first door body 221 can block the first material inlet 211. The first driving member 222 is fixedly connected to the spray chamber 21, and its output end is driven by the first door body 221. The first driving member 222 drives the first door body 221 to block the first material inlet 211. When material enters the spray chamber 21 and the first material inlet 211 needs to be blocked, the first driving member 222 will drive the first door body 221 to accurately block the first material inlet 211, providing a reliable sealing guarantee for the material handling process within the spray chamber 21, enabling subsequent disinfection operations to be carried out safely and efficiently. Optionally, in this embodiment, as... Figure 2As shown, the first driving component 222 drives the first door body 221 to slide vertically and block the first feed inlet 211. This arrangement ensures that when the first door body 221 is opened, the first feed inlet 211 is completely open, preventing interference between the material entering the spray chamber 21 and the first door body 221, thus preventing some material from entering the spray chamber 21. In other embodiments, the first door body 221 can block the first feed inlet 211 from any direction and in any form; this is not limited here. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first driving component 222 is a linear cylinder. In other embodiments, the first driving component 222 can also be a linear motor, etc., and this is not limited here.
[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the spray chamber 21 is further provided with a third inlet 212, and the settling chamber 31 is further provided with a fourth inlet 312. The spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31 are connected through the third inlet 212 and the fourth inlet 312. The spray mechanism 2 also includes a third door assembly 25, which is movably connected to the spray chamber 21 and can block the third inlet 212 and / or the fourth inlet 312. When the third door assembly 25 blocks the third inlet 212 and / or the fourth inlet 312, the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31 are not connected, making the spray chamber 21 a sealed state and preventing disinfectant from spraying into the settling chamber 31. When the third door assembly 25 is open, the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31 are connected, allowing the disinfected material to enter the settling chamber 31 from the spray chamber 21. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the third door assembly 25 blocks the third inlet 212. In other embodiments, the third gate assembly 25 may block the fourth feed port 312, or the third gate assembly 25 may block both the third feed port 212 and the fourth feed port 312 simultaneously; no limitation is made here. Specifically, in this embodiment, the third feed port 212 and the first feed port 211 are arranged opposite to each other, and the fourth feed port 312 and the second feed port 311 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the third door assembly 25 includes a third door body (not shown) and a third driving member (not shown). The third door body can seal the third material inlet 212. One end of the third driving member is fixedly connected to the spray chamber 21, and the output end of the third driving member is driven by the third door body. The third driving member drives the third door body to block the third material inlet 212. When the material is sprayed in the spray chamber 21, the third door body blocks the third material inlet 212. After the material has been sprayed in the spray chamber 21, the third driving member drives the third door body to open the third material inlet 212, allowing the disinfected material to smoothly enter the settling chamber 31. The third door assembly 25 has a simple structure and low fault tolerance. Optionally, in this embodiment, as shown... Figure 2As shown, the third driving element drives the third door body to slide vertically to block the third material inlet 212. In other embodiments, the third door body can block the third material inlet 212 from any direction and in any form, which is not limited here. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the third driving element is a linear cylinder. In other embodiments, the third driving element can also be a linear motor, which is not limited here. Specifically, the third driving element is communicatively connected to the controller.
[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the static disinfection mechanism 3 further includes a fourth door assembly 34, which is movably connected to the static chamber 31 and can block the fourth feed inlet 312. When the fourth door assembly 34 blocks the fourth feed inlet 312, the static chamber 31 is not connected to the spray chamber 21, and the static chamber 31 forms a relatively sealed state, ensuring the static environment of the disinfected material in the static chamber 31.
[0057] When the third and fourth door bodies 341 open simultaneously, the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31 are connected, allowing the sprayed material to enter the settling chamber 31 from the spray chamber 21. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fourth door assembly 34 has the same structure as the first door assembly 22, including the fourth door body 341 and the fourth drive unit 342. It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the third door body opens or closes before the fourth door body 341. Specifically, the fourth drive unit 342 is communicatively connected to the controller.
[0058] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the fourth driving member 342 drives the fourth door body 341 to slide vertically and block the fourth material inlet 312. In other embodiments, the fourth door body 341 can block the fourth material inlet 312 from any direction and in any form, which is not limited here.
[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the spray assembly 23 includes a first spray element 231 and a second spray element 232, which are arranged at intervals on both sides of the material. Both the first spray element 231 and the second spray element 232 are rotatable. By setting the first spray element 231 and the second spray element 232 at intervals, disinfectant can be sprayed onto the outer surface of the material from different directions, eliminating the existence of blind spots in spraying, ensuring the disinfection effect of the material, and improving the quality and efficiency of the disinfection process. Specifically, the first spray element 231 and the second spray element 232 are arranged at intervals on the upper and lower sides of the material. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first spray element 231 and the second spray element 232 are both collaborative six-axis robots. In other embodiments, they can also be six-axis robots with spray heads or rotatable spray heads; there is no limitation here, as long as they can spray the material.
[0060] Optionally, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic disinfection and transfer device further includes a feeding mechanism 1, which is located upstream of the spray chamber 21 and is used to transport materials to the spray chamber 21. The feeding mechanism 1 enables the materials to be automatically transferred to the spray chamber 21, improving production efficiency. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first feed port 211 is located on the side of the spray chamber 21 near the feeding mechanism 1.
[0061] Optionally, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding conveying assembly 11, a first storage box 12, and a feeding robot 13. The first storage box 12 is disposed on the ground, the feeding conveying assembly 11 is fixedly installed on the first storage box 12, and the feeding robot 13 is fixed to the ground and located beside the feeding conveying assembly 11. The feeding robot 13 can place materials on the feeding conveying assembly 11, improving production efficiency.
[0062] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding and conveying component 11 is in the form of a chain conveyor. Since chain conveyors are existing technology, they will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, the feeding and conveying component 11 can also be a mesh belt conveyor or a belt conveyor, etc., without limitation, as long as it can realize the transmission of materials. Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding robot 13 is a six-axis robot equipped with suction cups.
[0063] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the automatic disinfection and transfer device also includes a detection mechanism 9 and a controller; wherein, the detection mechanism 9 is configured to detect information of materials entering the spray chamber 21, and the controller is communicatively connected to the detection mechanism 9, the first door assembly 22, the spray assembly 23 and the second door assembly 33 respectively, for receiving the detection signal fed back by the detection mechanism 9 and controlling the first door assembly 22 and / or the spray assembly 23 and / or the second door assembly 33.
[0064] Before the material enters the spray chamber 21, the detection mechanism 9 detects the material's specifications and records this information in the controller. Simultaneously, the controller sends a signal to the spray assembly 23, which then performs a disinfection program corresponding to the material's specifications. Afterward, the controller opens the first door assembly 22, allowing the material to enter the spray chamber 21. The first door assembly 22 then closes, while the second door assembly 33 remains sealed off the second material inlet 311. The controller automatically controls the spray assembly 23 to perform the corresponding disinfection spray, ensuring the material is properly disinfected. This setup allows the process of material transfer to the spray chamber 21 to be monitored.
[0065] Optionally, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection mechanism 9 is mounted on the feeding mechanism 1 and is located near the first material inlet 211. The detection mechanism 9 includes a fixed bracket 91 and a detection probe 92. The fixed bracket 91 is fixedly mounted on the feeding mechanism 1, and the detection probe 92 is fixed to the fixed bracket 91 and extends towards the feeding conveying assembly 11. This arrangement enables the scanning of labels attached to materials, ensuring that material information entering the spray chamber 21 can be collected, thereby performing corresponding disinfection procedures on the materials.
[0066] Optionally, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, four detection probes 92 are provided, with two probes arranged in groups on the upper and lower sides of the material respectively. The two detection probes 92 in each group are spaced apart along the first direction. This arrangement allows for scanning of the label attached to the material from different angles. In other embodiments, the number and position of the detection probes 92 are not limited. In this embodiment, the detection probes 92 can be any type of barcode scanner in the prior art; since barcode scanners are prior art, they will not be described in detail here.
[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the spraying mechanism 2 also includes a transmission component 24, which is disposed within the spraying chamber 21. The top of the transmission component 24 is not higher than the bottom of the first feed inlet 211, and the transmission component 24 is configured to transmit materials. By setting the transmission component 24, on the one hand, it ensures that the materials can be transmitted smoothly and stably within the transmission component 24, without material accumulation or jamming due to height differences, thus ensuring the stability of material transmission; on the other hand, it makes the material transmission path more rational and compact in terms of space utilization, avoiding unnecessary space waste and reducing external interference factors during the material transmission process.
[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission component 24 is in the form of a chain conveyor. In other embodiments, the transmission component 24 may also be in the form of a mesh belt conveyor or a roller conveyor, etc., and there is no limitation here.
[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission component 24 forms a cavity, and the second spraying component 232 is housed within the cavity. This arrangement allows the second spraying component 232 to spray disinfectant onto the material from below, while also making more efficient use of space.
[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the spraying mechanism 2 includes a transition component 26 and a conveying component 24. The transition component 26 is rotatably mounted on one side of the spray chamber 21 where the first feed port 211 is located, and the top of the transition component 26 is higher than the top of the conveying component 24. By setting the transition component 26, when the material enters the spray chamber 21 through the transition component 26, the material can fall from top to bottom onto the conveying component 24, effectively avoiding damage to the material or accumulation of material at the first feed port 211 of the spray chamber 21 due to collision or jamming when entering the spray chamber 21. It should be noted that the transition component 26 can be in the form of a transition roller or a transition plate, etc., and is not limited here.
[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the static disinfection mechanism 3 further includes a support 32, on which a static chamber 31 is fixedly connected. This arrangement provides bottom support for the static chamber 31.
[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the second door assembly 33 has the same structure as the first door assembly 22, including a second door body 331 and a second drive member 332.
[0073] Optionally, such as Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the static disinfection mechanism 3 further includes a transmission assembly 35, which is located within the static chamber 31. The transmission assembly 35 is configured to place and convey materials output from the spray chamber 21. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the transmission assembly 35 is in the form of a belt conveyor. Since belt conveyors are existing technology, they will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, the transmission assembly 35 can also be a mesh belt conveyor or a chain conveyor, etc., and there are no limitations, as long as it can achieve the placement and conveying of materials.
[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic disinfection and transfer device further includes an exhaust mechanism 4. The exhaust mechanism 4 is sealed and connected to the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31. The exhaust mechanism 4 can discharge the disinfectant substances in the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31. The exhaust mechanism 4 can discharge the volatile disinfectant in the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31 into the external environment, avoiding any impact on the materials.
[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the exhaust mechanism 4 includes an exhaust duct 41, an exhaust fan 42, and a decomposition filter 43. One end of the exhaust duct 41 is sealed and connected to both the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31. The exhaust fan 42 is fixedly connected to the other end of the exhaust duct 41 and is configured to provide suction power. The decomposition filter 43 is connected to the exhaust duct 41 and is configured to decompose the disinfectant substances discharged from the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31. This configuration decomposes the disinfectant solution and its volatile components within the spray chamber 21 and the settling chamber 31, ensuring that the gas discharged into the external environment does not pollute the environment.
[0076] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the automatic disinfection and transfer device also includes a feeding mechanism 5, which is located on the side of the settling chamber 31 away from the spray chamber 21. The feeding mechanism 5 is used to transfer the material output from the settling chamber 31. The feeding mechanism 5 enables the disinfected material to be automatically transferred to the next process.
[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 5 includes a feeding conveyor component 51, a second storage box 52, and a feeding robot 53. One end of the feeding conveyor component 51 is connected to the fourth material inlet 312 of the settling chamber 31. The second storage box 52 is disposed on the ground, and the feeding conveyor component 51 is fixedly connected to the second storage box 52. The feeding robot 53 is disposed on the ground and located beside the feeding conveyor component 51. This arrangement simplifies the transfer of sterilized materials. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the feeding conveyor component 51 is in the form of a belt conveyor. Since belt conveyors are existing technology, they will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, the feeding conveyor component 51 can also be a mesh belt conveyor or a chain conveyor, etc. There are no limitations here, as long as it can achieve the transfer of materials.
[0078] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic disinfection and transfer device further includes a first transfer mechanism 6, which is configured to provide materials to the feeding robot 13. In this embodiment, the first transfer mechanism 6 is an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) with a stainless steel housing.
[0079] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic disinfection and transfer device further includes a second transfer mechanism 7, which is configured to load the materials grabbed by the unloading robot 53. Since the structure of the second transfer mechanism 7 is the same as that of the first transfer mechanism 6, it will not be described again here.
[0080] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic disinfection and transfer device also includes two visual recognition mechanisms 8, one of which is correspondingly arranged with the first transfer mechanism 6, and the other is correspondingly arranged with the material feeding and conveying component 51. This facilitates the identification of materials and the grabbing of identified materials, reduces manual intervention, improves production efficiency, and also reduces GMP quality risks.
[0081] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the automatic disinfection and transfer device also includes three grating mechanisms (not shown in the figure). The three grating mechanisms are respectively matched with the first door assembly 22, the second door assembly 33, and the third door assembly 25, and are used to detect the position of the material to open or close the first door body 221, the second door body 331, or the third door body. Since the grating mechanism is prior art, it will not be described in detail here.
[0082] This embodiment also provides a production line including the aforementioned automatic disinfection and transfer device, which is used for disinfecting and transferring materials. This setup effectively prevents disinfectant leakage, reduces the harm of disinfectant to operators, and lowers GMP quality risks and EHS risks.
[0083] When materials are disinfected, the first transfer mechanism 6 is activated, transferring the materials to the feeding mechanism 1. Simultaneously, the visual recognition mechanism 8, corresponding to the first transfer mechanism 6, identifies the materials within the first transfer mechanism 6 and guides the feeding robot 13 to the first transfer mechanism 6 to pick up the materials. The feeding robot 13 picks up the materials onto the feeding conveyor assembly 11. Then, the detection mechanism 9 detects the materials to identify their specifications. The detection mechanism 9 can detect the specifications of the materials and record the information in the controller. Simultaneously, the controller sends a signal to the spray assembly 23, which applies a disinfection program corresponding to the specified material specifications. Then, the controller controls the first door assembly 22 to open, allowing the materials to enter the spray chamber 21. Afterward, the first door assembly 22 closes, while the second door assembly 33 keeps the second material inlet 311 blocked. The controller automatically controls the first spray component 231 and the second spray component 232 to spray disinfectant onto the materials from both the top and bottom. Then, the third door assembly 25 and the fourth door assembly 34 open sequentially, after disinfection... The disinfected material is transported to the settling chamber 31. Then, the third door assembly 25 and the fourth door assembly 34 are closed in sequence. The material is placed in the settling chamber 31 for 3 minutes for disinfection. During the 3-minute settling disinfection process, all mechanisms except the settling disinfection mechanism 3 and the exhaust mechanism 4 stop working. After the settling disinfection is completed, the second door body 331 is driven by the second drive component 332 to open the second material port 311 and transport the material to the unloading conveying assembly 51. The visual recognition mechanism 8, which is set corresponding to the unloading conveying assembly 51, identifies the disinfected material and works with the unloading robot 53 to pick up the material and transfer it to the second transfer mechanism 7. Then, the second transfer mechanism 7 transfers the disinfected material to other processes. During the disinfection process, the exhaust mechanism 4 continues to work.
