Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of reaction tube assembly technology, and in particular to a reaction tube sample loading assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Known biopharmaceutical process production lines are based on, for example, stainless steel tanks interconnected by pipes and / or the like. These known biopharmaceutical process production lines are difficult to maintain and clean. Therefore, disposable biopharmaceutical process production lines have been developed, which are replaceable after use. Such process production lines use disposable containers (e.g., bags) as storage containers for exfoliants and / or products, such as reaction tubes, in the biopharmaceutical process production line. These bags are typically supported in rigid containers, such as stainless steel, and interconnected by flexible hoses. Setting up a traditional disposable biopharmaceutical process production line is very complex and time-consuming because it requires manual assembly. In particular, the components of a disposable biopharmaceutical process production line must be manufactured and pre-assembled. Then, this disposable biopharmaceutical production line must be installed / assembled at the operator's site.

[0003] Manually pre-assembling a traditional disposable bioreactor tank takes about a day. Moreover, before the reaction tubes are assembled on the production line, the culture medium inside the tubes needs to be manually sealed, for example, by using a sealing film to seal the tube openings. This makes it impossible to perform large-scale and rapid assembly, especially for split-type reaction tubes. For example, patent applications with application numbers CN201710070782.X and CN202110763267.6 require at least one additional assembly, which seriously affects production efficiency.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a reaction tube sample loading assembly device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0029] One embodiment of the reaction tube loading and assembly apparatus 10 includes a liquid storage tube feeding assembly 100, a liquid storage tube sealing assembly 200, and a reaction tube assembly 300. Please refer to these components together. Figure 2The liquid storage tube feeding assembly 100 includes a liquid storage tube vibrating belt 110 and a liquid storage tube feeding claw 120. The liquid storage tube vibrating belt 110 is used for vibrating and conveying the liquid storage tube, and the liquid storage tube feeding claw 120 is used for gripping the liquid storage tube on the liquid storage tube vibrating belt 110. Specifically, the liquid storage tube feeding claw is slidably mounted on the feeding support. The liquid storage tube sealing assembly 200 includes a first rotating tray 210, a liquid storage tube sample feeding component 220, and a liquid storage tube sealing component 230. The liquid storage tube loading claw 120 is positioned adjacent to the loading position of the first transfer tray 210. The first transfer tray 210 has multiple loading mounting positions, which are used to fix the liquid storage tube gripped by the liquid storage tube loading claw 120. The liquid storage tube sample addition component 220 and the liquid storage tube sealing component 230 are sequentially distributed on the outer side of the first transfer tray 210. The liquid storage tube sample addition component 220 is used to add bacterial culture medium into the liquid storage tube, and the liquid storage tube sealing component 230 is used to add a sealing layer into the liquid storage tube to seal the bacterial culture medium. Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The reaction tube assembly 300 includes a liquid storage tube transfer component 310, a second transfer tray 320, and a reaction tube assembly 330. The liquid storage tube transfer component 310 and the reaction tube assembly 330 are located between the first transfer tray 210 and the second transfer tray 320. The liquid storage tube transfer component 310 is used to pick up the sealed liquid storage tube from the first transfer tray 210 and transfer it onto the reaction tube assembly 330. The second transfer tray 320 has multiple assembly positions for placing reaction tube mounting bases. The reaction tube assembly 330 corresponds to each assembly position and is used to mount the liquid storage tube onto the reaction tube mounting base.

[0030] In this embodiment, the liquid storage tube is fed to the first transfer plate 210 via the liquid storage tube loading claw 120. Under the rotation of the first transfer plate 210, liquid is injected and sealed sequentially to complete the sample loading and assembly of the liquid storage tube. The reaction tube mounting base is placed on the second transfer plate 320, and the liquid storage tube transfer component 310 places the assembled liquid storage tube on the reaction tube assembly component 330, so that the liquid storage tube and the reaction tube mounting base are opposite each other. This facilitates the reaction tube assembly component 330 to quickly install the liquid storage tube on the reaction tube mounting base to obtain the final reaction tube, which effectively improves the assembly production efficiency of the reaction tube.

[0031] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2The liquid storage tube sample dispensing component 220 includes a sample dispensing bracket 222, a sampling titration claw 224, and a sample tube 226. The sample dispensing bracket 222 is disposed adjacent to the edge of the first transfer tray 210. The sample tube 226 is mounted on the sample dispensing bracket 222 and is used to store bacterial culture medium. The sampling titration claw 224 is slidably disposed on the sample dispensing bracket 222. Specifically, the sampling titration claw moves via a multi-axis slide rail on the sample dispensing bracket. The sampling titration claw 224 is used to fix the sampling needle so as to add the bacterial culture medium in the sample tube 226 into the liquid storage tube on the first transfer tray 210. In this embodiment, the sample dispensing bracket 222 serves as a fixing bracket for the sampling titration claw 224 and the sample tube 226. The sample dispensing bracket 222 is disposed at the edge of the first transfer tray 210, specifically, the sample dispensing bracket 222 corresponds to the liquid injection position of the first transfer tray 210. After the storage tube is grasped by the storage tube loading claw 120 and placed at the loading position of the first transfer tray 210, the first transfer tray 210 rotates to transport the storage tube to the injection position of the sample dispensing bracket 222. A sampling needle is fixed on the sampling titration claw 224. By moving the sampling titration claw 224, the sampling needle is moved to a position opposite to the opening of the storage tube, facilitating the injection of bacterial culture medium into the storage tube, thus realizing the liquid filling operation of the storage tube. Specifically, by moving the sampling titration claw 224, the fixed sampling needle on the sampling titration claw 224 removes the bacterial culture medium from the sample tube 226.

[0032] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The liquid storage tube sample application component 220 further includes an oil-sealed tube 228 and an oil-sealed titration claw 221. The oil-sealed tube 228 is fixedly connected to the sample application support 222 and is located between the sample tube 226 and the liquid storage tube seal 230. The oil-sealed tube 228 is used to store sealing oil. The oil-sealed titration claw 221 is slidably disposed on the sample application support 222. Specifically, the oil-sealed titration claw moves via a multi-axis slide rail on the sample application support. The oil-sealed titration claw 221 is used to fix an oil-taking needle to add the sealing oil in the oil-sealed tube 228 to the upper layer of the bacterial culture medium in the liquid storage tube. In this embodiment, the oil-sealed tube 228 serves as a test tube for storing sealing oil, and an oil-taking needle is fixed on the oil-sealed titration claw 221. By moving the oil-sealed titration claw 221, the oil-taking needle removes the sealing oil from the oil-sealed tube 228. After the bacterial culture medium is added to the storage tube, the sealing oil is added into the storage tube by moving the oil-sealing titration claw 221, so that the sealing oil covers the upper layer of the bacterial culture medium in the storage tube, thereby achieving an oil seal for the bacterial culture medium in the storage tube.

[0033] In another embodiment, the oil seal tube 228 and the sample tube 226 are symmetrically arranged, and the oil seal titration claw 221 and the sampling titration claw 224 are symmetrically arranged. In this embodiment, the oil seal tube 228 and the sample tube 226 are arranged opposite to each other, and the distance between the sample tube 226 and the liquid storage tube loading claw 120 is less than the distance between the oil seal tube 228 and the liquid storage tube loading claw 120. That is, the sample tube 226 is closer to the liquid storage tube loading claw 120, so that the sample tube 226 is given priority for liquid addition operation, and then the sealing oil is added, realizing the rapid operation of liquid injection and oil sealing of the liquid storage tube.

[0034] In another embodiment, the distance between the oil seal tube 228 and the sample tube 226 is equal to the distance between any two adjacent loading positions of the first transfer tray 210. This allows the sampling titration claw 224 and the oil seal titration claw 221 to perform liquid and oil injection operations quickly and accurately.

[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The liquid storage tube sealing component 230 includes a sealing bracket 232 and a wax-sealing titration claw 234. The sealing bracket 232 is located near the first transfer tray 210, and the wax-sealing titration claw 234 is slidably mounted on the sealing bracket 232. Specifically, the wax-sealing titration claw moves via a multi-axis slide rail on the sealing bracket. The wax-sealing titration claw 234 is used to fix the wax-taking needle for adding sealing wax into the liquid storage tube. In this embodiment, the sealing bracket 232 is located near the edge of the first transfer tray 210, and the sealing bracket 232 corresponds to the wax-sealing position of the first transfer tray 210. The wax-sealing titration claw 234 slides on the sealing bracket 232, causing the wax-taking needle to move, facilitating the wax-taking needle to add sealing wax into the liquid storage tube. This creates a double-layer sealing structure of sealing oil and sealing wax within the liquid storage tube, improving the sealing effect of the bacterial culture medium inside the liquid storage tube.

[0036] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3The liquid storage tube seal 230 also includes a wax sampling bracket 236, a wax plate mechanical claw 238, a wax plate tray 231, and a screw-type top plate device 233. The wax sampling bracket 236 is disposed adjacent to the sealing bracket 232, and the wax plate tray 231 corresponds to the wax sampling bracket 236. The wax plate tray 231 has a top plate area and an idle area. The top plate area is used to place multiple stacked oil and wax test tube plates, and the idle area is used to place multiple stacked idle test tube plates. The wax plate mechanical claw 238 is slidably disposed on the wax sampling bracket 236. Specifically, on 36, the wax plate mechanical gripper moves via a multi-axis slide rail on the wax-receiving bracket. The wax plate mechanical gripper 238 is used to grip the oil wax test tube plate to the wax-receiving position, so that the wax-receiving needle on the wax-sealing titration claw 234 can extract the oil wax from the oil wax test tubes on the oil wax test tube plate, and place the idle test tube plate after all the oil wax has been removed into the idle area. The screw top plate device 233 corresponds to the top plate area, and the top plate extension end of the screw top plate device 233 abuts against the bottom of the lowest oil wax test tube plate in the top plate area to lift up multiple oil wax test tube plates one by one. In this embodiment, the wax-receiving bracket 236 and the sealing bracket 232 are arranged adjacent to each other. The wax-receiving bracket 236 serves as the mounting bracket for the wax plate mechanical claw 238. The wax plate mechanical claw 238 slides on the wax-receiving bracket 236, facilitating the movement of the wax test tube plate by the wax plate mechanical claw 238. This allows the wax test tube plate to move to the position of the wax-receiving needle on the wax-sealing titration claw 234, thus facilitating the removal of the sealing wax from the wax test tube plate by the wax-receiving needle. The wax plate tray 231 serves as a placement tray for each wax test tube plate. The wax test tube plates in the top tray area are lifted by the screw-type top plate device 233 during use, facilitating quick gripping by the wax-sealing titration claw 234. The wax test tube plates in the idle area are those that have had their sealing wax removed. The wax-sealing titration claw 234 stacks these plates layer by layer, separating plates with sealing wax from those without, thereby improving wax removal efficiency.

[0037] In another embodiment, both the top plate area and the idle area are provided with plate placement limit frames to facilitate the placement of stacked oil and wax test tube plates.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2The liquid storage tube transfer component 310 includes a transfer bracket 312 and a liquid storage tube transfer claw 314. The transfer bracket 312 is located between the first transfer tray 210 and the second transfer tray 320. The liquid storage tube transfer claw 314 is slidably disposed on the transfer bracket 312. Specifically, the liquid storage tube transfer claw moves via a multi-axis slide rail on the transfer bracket. The liquid storage tube transfer claw 314 is used to grip the sealed liquid storage tube on the first transfer tray 210. In this embodiment, the transfer bracket 312 serves as a transfer component between the first transfer tray 210 and the second transfer tray 320. The liquid storage tube transfer claw 314 is mounted on the transfer bracket 312 and moves on the transfer bracket 312, facilitating the transfer of the liquid storage tube on the first transfer tray 210 to the reaction tube assembly 330, thereby facilitating the reaction tube assembly 330 to install the liquid storage tube onto the reaction tube mounting base on the second transfer tray 320.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 4 The reaction tube assembly 330 includes an assembly bracket (not shown), a rotary assembly motor 332, and an assembly platform 334. The assembly bracket is located between the transfer bracket 312 and the second transfer tray 320. The rotary assembly motor 332 is slidably mounted on the assembly bracket. The rotating end of the rotary assembly motor 332 is connected to the assembly platform 334. The assembly platform 334 is used to place the sealed liquid storage tube so that the liquid storage tube and the reaction tube mounting base can be rotated and assembled. In this embodiment, the assembly bracket corresponds to the assembly position of the second transfer tray 320. A reaction tube mounting base is fixedly installed on the second transfer tray 320. The rotary assembly motor 332 slides on the assembly bracket. The assembly platform 334 is connected to the rotating end of the rotary assembly motor 332. Driven by the rotary assembly motor 332, the assembly platform 334 can receive the storage tube placed by the storage tube transfer claw 314. Moreover, as the rotating end of the rotary assembly motor 332 rotates, the assembly platform 334 enables the storage tube to be rotated and assembled with the reaction tube mounting base, making it easy to install the storage tube on the reaction tube mounting base to obtain a fully assembled reaction tube.

[0040] Furthermore, the assembly platform 334 is located below the second transfer tray 320, which has an assembly through hole 302 located at the assembly position. The assembly through hole 302 is positioned opposite to the assembly platform 334. In this embodiment, the assembly platform 334 serves as a placement platform for the liquid storage tube. Specifically, the assembly platform 334 has a snap-fit ​​groove 304, and a portion of the liquid storage tube is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 304. The liquid storage tube is snapped onto the assembly platform 334 such that the opening of the liquid storage tube faces the bottom of the second transfer tray 320. The reaction tube mounting base is snapped into the assembly through hole 302 of the second transfer tray 320. The rotating end of the rotary assembly motor 332 rotates the liquid storage tube to fit onto the reaction tube mounting base, achieving a spiral assembly of the liquid storage tube and the reaction tube mounting base.

[0041] In another embodiment, the rotary assembly motor 332 is capable of multi-axis movement on the assembly bracket, specifically, it moves via a three-axis slide rail on the assembly bracket.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5The reaction tube sample loading assembly device 10 further includes a tube stacking plate assembly 400, which includes a tube conveying support 410, a tube conveying claw 420, a tube tray 430, a first plate placement frame 440, a second plate placement frame 450, and a plate transfer slide rail 460. The tube conveying support 410 and the tube tray 430 are arranged adjacent to the second transfer tray 320. The tube conveying support 410 spans above the tube tray 430. The first plate placement frame 440, the second plate placement frame 450, and the plate transfer slide rail 460 are all arranged on the tube tray 430. The first plate placement frame 440 and the second plate placement frame 450 are arranged with the tube stacking plate assembly 460 between them. The tube assembly conveying support 410 includes a first plate placement rack 440 for stacking multiple base clamps with reaction tube mounting bases, a second plate placement rack 450 for stacking multiple finished product clamps with reaction tubes, a transfer rail 460 for conveying base clamps to the tube assembly conveying support 410 and finished product clamps to the second plate placement rack 450, and a tube assembly conveying claw 420 slidably mounted on the tube assembly conveying support 410. The tube assembly conveying claw 420 is used to grab the reaction tube mounting bases on the base clamps conveyed by the transfer rail 460 onto the second transfer tray 320 and to grab the reaction tubes on the second transfer tray 320 onto the finished product clamps conveyed by the transfer rail 460. In this embodiment, the tube conveying support 410 is located between the first plate-laying frame 440 and the second plate-laying frame 450, and the tube conveying support 410 spans the tube tray 430. Specifically, the tube conveying support 410 and the tube tray 430 are arranged perpendicularly to each other. The tube conveying claw 420 is slidably disposed on the tube conveying support 410. The tube conveying claw 420 is used to grab the reaction tube mounting bases on the base clamp. Multiple base clamps are stacked on the first plate-laying frame 440, and multiple reaction tube mounting bases are arranged in an array on the base clamp. The plate-moving slide rail 460 moves the base clamps to below the tube conveying support 410, so that the tube conveying claw 420 can grab each reaction tube mounting base on the base clamp and assemble it on the second transfer tray 320. After that, the tube conveying claw 420 removes the assembled reaction tube and puts it back on the base clamp to form a finished clamp containing the reaction tube. The reaction tubes on the finished product clamping plate are also arranged in multiple arrays, similar to those on the base clamping plate. In this way, the plate-moving slide rail 460 finally moves the finished product clamping plate to the second plate-laying rack 450 for stacking the finished product clamping plates.

[0043] In another embodiment, the assembly 400 further includes a plate-removing component 470 and a plate-stacking component 480. The plate-removing component 470 corresponds to the first plate-laying frame 440, and its telescopic end is used to remove multiple base plates from the first plate-laying frame 440 one by one from bottom to top and place them on the plate-shifting slide rail 460. The plate-stacking component 480 corresponds to the second plate-laying frame 450, and its telescopic end is used to lift multiple finished plates from the plate-shifting slide rail 460 one by one from bottom to top and stack them on the second plate-laying frame 450. In this embodiment, the plate-removing component 470 removes the bottommost base plate from the first plate-laying frame 440 and places it onto the plate-shifting slide rail 460, thereby gradually reducing the height of the multiple base plates stacked on the first plate-laying frame 440. The sliding rail 460 moves the finished product clamping plate to the bottom of the second plate-laying frame 450. The stacking member 480 lifts up the finished product clamping plate that is moved over each time to reserve space for the next stacking of finished product clamping plates, so that the height of the multiple finished product clamping plates stacked on the second plate-laying frame 450 gradually increases.
