Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blood product manufacturing technology, specifically to a device for inactivating viruses in blood products. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of blood products, it is necessary to inactivate any viruses that may be present to ensure the safety of the blood products. This process requires the use of a virus inactivation device. Such a device is designed to safely and effectively remove or inactivate viruses in blood products while maintaining their biological activity and therapeutic value. Typically, the device employs the solvent / detergent (S / D) method for virus inactivation, which involves using an organic solvent or detergent mixture (S / D) to disrupt the lipid membrane of enveloped viruses, achieving effective inactivation.
[0003] Existing devices for inactivating viruses in blood products require the detergent to be mixed evenly with the blood products to effectively inactivate the viruses. Typically, the device can only rotate and stir in one direction at a time during mixing. This unidirectional stirring easily leads to uneven distribution of the detergent, creating areas of varying concentrations. This reduces the opportunity for the virus to come into contact with the detergent, making it difficult to guarantee effective inactivation and thus lowering the device's inactivation efficiency. Furthermore, the device requires regular internal maintenance during long-term use. Typically, the device uses a sealed structure, with its cover plate fixed to the top of the tank by multiple bolts. Maintenance requires the use of tools to disassemble and reassemble these bolts sequentially, a cumbersome process that increases labor costs and reduces maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

Adjustment components 9 are located on the inside of the outer shell 4. Locking block 10 is located on the outside of adjustment components 9. Limiting groove 11 is opened on the inner wall of connecting block 3. When connecting block 3 slides into the inside of the outer shell 4, locking block 10 contacts the arc surface at the bottom of connecting block 3 and is pushed to one side by the arc surface of connecting block 3. As connecting block 3 gradually moves down, locking block 10 is pushed into the inner side of limiting groove 11 by second spring 13, so that connecting block 3 is limited. Two sets of pop-out components 12 are provided on the bottom of the inner side of the outer shell 4. A second spring 13 for pushing it to reset is fixedly connected to the outside of locking block 10, and its other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 4. After locking block 10 rotates, it can be pushed to reset by elastic force.

The outside of the positioning block 81 is slidably connected to the inside of the positioning groove 82. When the cover plate 2 is connected to the tank body 1, the positioning block 81 is first aligned and inserted into the inside of the positioning groove 82 so that the installation position of the cover plate 2 is initially fixed.
[0030] The adjustment component 9 includes a push button 91 that slides inside the housing 4, one end of which is in contact with the locking block 10. When the push button 91 is pressed, it will push one end of the locking block 10 to rotate accordingly. A fixed shaft 92 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 4. The outer side of the fixed shaft 92 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the locking block 10, and the locking block 10 will rotate around the fixed shaft 92 as the center.
[0031] The pop-out assembly 12 includes a slide rod 121 that slides on the inner wall of the bottom of the housing 4. A first spring 122 is sleeved on the outer side of the slide rod 121. A second spring 13 for pushing the locking block 10 to reset is fixedly connected to the outer side of the locking block 10. After the connecting block 3 loses its limit, the first spring 122 will push the connecting block 3 upward through the accumulated elastic force. A limit block is fixed at one end of the slide rod 121 to limit one end of the first spring 122. The other end of the first spring 122 is in contact with the inner wall of the housing 4. At the same time, the slide rod 121 can limit the compression path of the first spring 122 to improve its stability.

A rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixing frame 143. When the motor 141 starts, it drives the first bevel gear 142 to rotate. One end of the rotating shaft 15 rotates inside the bearing at the top of the fixing frame 143, ensuring that the rotating shaft 15 can rotate stably.
[0033] The transmission assembly 17 includes a second bevel gear 171 fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 15, and a third bevel gear 172 fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting housing 16.

Multiple first mixing propellers 182 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 181, and multiple second mixing propellers 183 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 15. Driven by the rotating shaft 15 and the connecting shell 16, the first mixing propellers 182 and the second mixing propellers 183 rotate in opposite directions on the same axis with the rotating shaft 15 as the center. The bottom inner side of the connecting frame 181 is connected to the rotating shaft 15 through a bearing, which improves rotational stability and prevents motion interference between them.
[0035] Working Principle: During use, when inactivating viruses, the detergent is first added to the tank 1 through the injection pipe at the top of the cover plate 2. Then, the heater 6 operates, raising the temperature of the liquid inside the tank 1. Simultaneously, the temperature sensor 7 monitors the liquid temperature and transmits the value to the controller 5. When the temperature exceeds the appropriate range, the controller 5 adjusts the power of the heater 6 to maintain the temperature within the suitable range for inactivating pathogens. At the same time, the motor 141 drives the first bevel gear 142 to rotate. Since the second bevel gear 171 and the third bevel gear 172 are located on the upper and lower sides of the first bevel gear 142, under the drive of the first bevel gear 142, the second bevel gear 171 and the third bevel gear 172 will rotate in opposite directions. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 15 and the connecting shell... 16 follows the rotation, driving the first mixing paddle 182 and the second mixing paddle 183 to rotate in opposite directions on the same axis with the rotating shaft 15 as the center, promoting the dispersion and flow of blood products and detergents, so that they can be more fully mixed and contacted, ensuring that the virus is effectively inactivated. When the device needs to be inspected, first press the push button 91 to push the locking block 10 to rotate along the fixed shaft 92, so that one end of the locking block 10 is disengaged from the limit groove 11. At this time, the connecting block 3 loses its limit, and the first spring 122 pushes the connecting block 3 upward through the accumulated rebound force, so that the connecting block 3 is separated from the outer shell 4. Then lift the cover plate 2 upward, so that the positioning block 81 slides out of the inner side of the positioning groove 82, and the cover plate 2 can be removed from the top of the tank 1.
