Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ampoule inspection technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for inspecting carbides in ampoule-packaged injectables. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of injectable drugs, the filling process may result in the liquid medication splashing onto the top of the ampoule. Since the liquid medication contains organic components, it is prone to localized carbonization during the high-temperature sealing process of the ampoule, forming black spots. These carbon deposits affect the clarity of the injectable drug, failing to meet the pharmacopoeia's quality requirement of "no visible foreign matter," potentially leading to product recall or disposal.

[0003] Therefore, quickly and accurately picking out ampoules containing carbon deposits is crucial for ensuring product quality and improving production efficiency. However, the currently common method for checking ampoules for carbon deposits involves operators placing a tray full of product under a light inspection instrument and manually moving the tray to check the carbon deposits on each ampoule from all four sides. This method is labor-intensive, inefficient, and poses a risk of tipping over. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, this invention proposes an auxiliary device for detecting carbides in ampoule-packaged injectable solutions.

[0005] The technical solution to the technical problem solved by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This utility model proposes an auxiliary device for inspecting carbide in ampoule-packaged injectables, including a base; a lifting column rotatably connected above the base; a tray connected above the lifting column; and an ampoule container placed above the tray and positioned by at least two sets of clamping members that can move toward the center of the tray.

[0007] Preferably, the support column and the base are connected by a bearing, which allows the lifting column to drive the tray to rotate above the base.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting column includes a telescopic rod, the bottom of which is fitted with a protective shell, which is located above the base, and the lifting end of the telescopic rod passes through the protective shell and is connected to the tray.

[0009] Preferably, at least two sets of electric push rods are provided above the tray. The electric push rods are arranged at equal intervals in a circumferential direction. The output end of the electric push rod is connected to a clamping member. The clamping member is driven by the electric push rod to move towards the center of the tray and abuts against the ampoule container.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping member includes a baffle, and a flexible pad is provided on the inner side of the baffle, the flexible pad abutting against the ampoule container.

[0011] Preferably, the tray is provided with partitions at intervals above it; a drive motor is connected to the bottom of the tray, and the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the tray and is connected to a drive gear. The drive gear is located between the partitions and the tray, and four sets of rotatable toothed gears are meshed circumferentially at equal intervals on the drive gear. An extension arm is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each toothed gear, and a clamping member is connected to the end of the extension arm. The clamping member moves towards the center of the tray along the guide groove opened on the partition through the drive of the toothed gear and abuts against the ampoule container.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping member includes a clamping post, and a rubber ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the clamping post.

[0013] Preferably, the ampoule container is a turntable.

[0014] Preferably, the ampoule container includes a receiving shell with several sets of openings, and an inflatable airbag ring is provided inside the opening for holding the ampoule.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the base is provided with an adsorption structure for fixing the base to the target surface.

[0016] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model employs a lifting column to adjust the height of the tray, facilitating the movement of the sample to be tested on the tray to a suitable distance from the light source. The tray is rotatably connected to the base via the lifting column, allowing for centralized inspection of ampoules by rotating the tray, ensuring the accuracy of carbide testing. This design significantly reduces the labor intensity of operators and effectively shortens operation time.

[0018] 2. In this invention, at least two sets of clamping components are used to position the ampoule container, thereby preventing the ampoule container from being thrown out during tray rotation and ensuring the safety of the inspection process. This design also accommodates ampoule containers of different sizes, greatly improving the versatility of the device.

[0019] 3. This utility model proposes a novel ampoule container that uses an airbag to limit the position of the ampoule, placing each ampoule in an independent space.

[0032] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment proposes an auxiliary device for inspecting carbide in ampoule injections, which includes a base 1, a lifting column 2 that can rotate 360° connected above the base 1, and a tray 3 connected above the lifting column 2. An ampoule container 4 is placed on the tray 3 and positioned by at least two sets of clamping members 5 that can move toward the center of the tray 3.

[0037] With this design, during the inspection of ampoules, the lifting column 2 can be pre-adjusted to its lowest point. Then, the ampoule container 4 filled with ampoules can be placed on the tray 3, and the clamp 5 can be used to limit and fix the ampoule container 4 above the tray 3. After the preparation is completed, the height of the lifting column 2 can be adjusted again to move the sample to be tested on the ampoule container 4 to a suitable distance from the light source. By rotating the tray, one-by-one inspection and reciprocating inspection can be easily achieved to ensure the accuracy of carbide inspection.

[0038] This design features a simple structure and flexible operation, significantly reducing the workload of operators and effectively shortening operation time by centralizing inspections. It also strongly guarantees the accuracy of inspection results, fundamentally improving work efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, to effectively ensure the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the lifting column 2, a bearing is installed at the connection between the support column and the base 1, allowing the lifting column 2 to drive the tray 3 to rotate above the base 1. Through the installation of the bearing, the lifting column 2 can easily drive the tray 3 to rotate freely 360 degrees above the base 1, which not only makes operation more labor-saving but also effectively extends the overall service life of the device.

[0040] Furthermore, the lifting column 2 includes a telescopic rod with a protective shell fitted at its bottom. This protective shell is positioned above the base 1, and the lifting end of the telescopic rod passes through the protective shell and connects to the tray 3. In this design, the protective shell forms a protective barrier, which can buffer impacts from the outside to a certain extent, preventing the telescopic rod and core area from being deformed or damaged by accidental collisions; at the same time, it can also maintain a certain degree of aesthetics.

[0041] The ampoule container 4 is a turntable 41, with an upper edge to prevent the ampoules from accidentally falling. The turntable 41 is designed to hold more ampoules, facilitating their centralized transfer or inspection.

[0042] In this embodiment, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with an adsorption structure for fixing the base 1 to the target surface; specifically, several methods such as rubber suction cup adsorption, magnetic adsorption, electromagnetic adsorption and friction adsorption can be used to improve the stability of the bottom of the device.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, at least two sets of electric push rods 6 are provided above the tray 3. These electric push rods 6 are arranged at equal intervals in a circumferential direction. The output ends of the electric push rods 6 are connected to clamping members 5. The clamping members 5 are driven by the electric push rods 6 to move towards the center of the tray 3 and abut against the ampoule container 4, forming a stable three-point or multi-point clamping structure, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the ampoule container 4 above the tray 3. The circumferentially evenly spaced clamping members 5 can adapt to ampoule containers 4 of different specifications, greatly improving the versatility of this device.

[0045] Furthermore, the clamping component 5 includes a baffle 51, on the inner side of which a flexible pad 52 is provided, which abuts against the ampoule container 4. Driven by the electric push rod 6, the flexible pad 52 makes full contact with the outer wall of the ampoule container 4 and generates elastic deformation, achieving a safe and stable clamping effect through buffering and wrapping action.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to balance the operational safety of the electric push rod 6 with the overall aesthetics of the device, a ring-shaped protective cover is provided above the tray 3. The protective cover partially covers and hides the electric push rod 6, which can effectively avoid accidental impacts such as external collisions and scratches, and prevent equipment failure or clamping failure caused by component damage; it can also avoid the messy feeling of exposed mechanical structure, making the overall device more aesthetically pleasing.

[0047] Furthermore, several sets of control buttons are provided on the base 1. These control buttons are located above the base 1 and are used to control the lifting of the lifting column 2 and the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 6, so as to achieve precise control over the lifting of the lifting column 2 and the clamping force of the clamping component 5.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] While the electric push rods 6 used in Embodiment 2 can achieve the positioning of the ampoule container 4, they also have certain drawbacks. For example, if a set of electric push rods 6 fails, the clamping component 5 may become unbalanced and deviate from the center, making it difficult to form a stable clamping structure, or even completely losing its fixing function. At the same time, the initial investment cost and subsequent maintenance cost of the equipment are relatively high, which may restrict its large-scale application.

[0050] refer to Figures 3 to 5 To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment includes partitions 7 spaced above the tray 3, and a drive motor 8 connected to the bottom of the tray 3. The output shaft of the drive motor 8 passes through the tray 3 and is connected to a drive gear 9. The drive gear 9 is located within the space between the partitions 7 and the tray 3. Four sets of rotatable toothed gears 10 are circumferentially meshed with the drive gear 9 at equal intervals. The toothed gears 10 are fitted onto a connecting post above the tray 3 through a central hole, achieving rotational limitation and position fixation. The connecting post also supports the partitions 7. Each toothed gear 10 has an extension arm 11 connected to its outer wall. A clamping member 5 is connected to the end of each extension arm 11. Driven by the toothed gears 10, the clamping member 5 moves along the guide groove 12 on the partition towards the center of the tray 3 and abuts against the ampoule container 4.

[0051] Compared to the electric push rod 6, this gear-driven clamping structure offers several advantages. A single drive motor 8 rotates the gear set, and rigid meshing ensures synchronous alignment of the four clamping components 5, effectively preventing uneven force distribution. The toothed gear 10 and extension arm 11 allow for compatibility with ampoules 4 of different sizes, providing excellent versatility. Furthermore, it saves on costs.

[0052] In this embodiment, a protective box is provided below the tray 3, and the drive motor 8 is located inside the protective box. The bottom of the protective box is connected to the lifting column 2. Through this design, the tray, drive motor 8, protective box, drive gear 9, toothed gear 10, and partition 7 are formed into a modular system, which facilitates its stable connection above the lifting column 2.

[0053] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a clamping post 53, and a rubber ring 54 is sleeved on the outer wall of the clamping post 53; under the drive of the drive motor 8, the rubber ring 54 fully contacts the outer wall of the ampoule container 4 and generates elastic deformation, thereby achieving a safe and stable clamping effect through buffering and wrapping action.

[0054] Furthermore, several sets of control buttons are provided on the base 1. These control buttons are located above the base 1 and are used to control the lifting of the lifting column 2 and the rotation of the drive motor 8, so as to achieve precise control over the lifting of the lifting column 2 and the clamping force of the clamping component 5.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] Refer to Figure 1 or Figure 3 The ampoule container 4 uses a turntable 41 as a carrier and transfer container. During the rotation of the tray 3, the turntable 41 rotates synchronously with the tray 3. However, due to the lack of a limiting structure for the individual ampoules, the ampoules are prone to tipping over under centrifugal force. At the same time, adjacent ampoules may collide and generate noise, or even cause damage to the ampoules or leakage of the medicine.

[0057] To address the above issues, refer to Figures 5 to 6 In this embodiment, the ampoule container 4 is optimized. The ampoule container 4 includes a receiving shell 42, and the receiving shell 42 has a plurality of openings 43. An air bladder ring 44 that can be freely inflated and expanded to hold the ampoule is provided inside the openings 43.

[0058] Compared to the traditional turntable 41, this design uses a housing shell 42 with an airbag structure. The airbag's free inflation allows it to closely conform to the shape of ampoules of different sizes, providing 260° surround-like restraint and effectively resisting the centrifugal force generated by the rotating tray 3, eliminating the risk of ampoules tipping over. Simultaneously, the ampoules are placed in independent spaces, preventing collisions and reducing the risk of breakage and leakage. It is compatible with various ampoule sizes, eliminating the need for frequent container changes and improving turnover efficiency and equipment versatility.

[0059] It is worth noting that each airbag ring 44 can be individually controlled through multiple independent inflation / deflation ports; or multiple airbag rings 44 can be interconnected and centrally inflated or deflated through a single inflation / deflation port, thus flexibly adapting to different usage scenarios and control requirements.

[0060] Although the specific embodiments of the utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Based on the technical solution of the utility model, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort are still within the scope of protection of the utility model.
