Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a nitrogen-filling plug device and a nitrogen-filling plug production line. Background Technology
[0002] Glass bottles, as a traditional form of infusion packaging, have numerous advantages. Firstly, among all infusion packaging materials, glass bottles possess superior stability, exhibiting excellent water, oxygen, and light barrier properties, as well as outstanding antioxidant properties and good compatibility with the medication. Therefore, many medications, especially nutritional and therapeutic infusions (such as amino acid solutions and fat emulsions), are typically packaged in glass bottles. However, these nutritional and therapeutic medications have extremely strict requirements regarding the oxygen content within the bottle. The level of residual oxygen directly affects the shelf life of the medication; therefore, strictly controlling the residual oxygen level in each infusion bottle becomes a key requirement in equipment performance and technical specifications.
[0003] In existing technologies, after filling, the infusion bottles need to enter a nitrogen-filling station to effectively replace the oxygen inside the bottle. However, existing nitrogen-filling devices typically only have one nitrogen outlet, resulting in a slow filling speed and difficulty in efficiently replacing the air inside the bottle. Furthermore, in existing technologies, after nitrogen filling, the bottles need to be transported to the stoppering station. During this transport process, external oxygen can easily re-enter the bottle, making it difficult to control the residual oxygen level below 0.5%, failing to meet stricter residual oxygen control requirements, and thus affecting the shelf life and quality stability of the medication.

[0068] Furthermore, this utility model also provides a nitrogen-filled stoppering production line, including the nitrogen-filled stoppering device of any of the above embodiments. It should be further noted that the nitrogen-filled stoppering production line includes a bottle inlet station, a bottle outlet station, and a nitrogen-filled stoppering station disposed between the bottle inlet station and the bottle outlet station. Multiple nitrogen-filled stoppering devices are disposed on the nitrogen-filled stoppering station, and these multiple nitrogen-filled stoppering devices can be disposed on a rotary table. Since the nitrogen-filled stoppering production line includes nitrogen-filled stoppering devices, it possesses the technical effects of nitrogen-filled stoppering devices, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0069] Please see the appendix Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the nitrogen-filling and sealing device operates as follows: First, the stopper holder 4 lifts the stopper, the outer cylinder 1 descends or the bottle rises, causing the sealing joint 5 to engage with the bottle body and form a sealed fit. Due to the presence of the sealing component 6, a sealed space is formed between the outer cylinder 1 and the bottle body. Next, the sealed space is evacuated through the vacuum port 7 to remove as much air as possible. After evacuation, the vacuum channel is closed, and the nitrogen port 8 is opened. Nitrogen gas is precisely aligned with the bottle opening through multiple evenly distributed oblique holes on the nitrogen distribution ring, directly and effectively filling the bottle. Nitrogen filling continues until the residual oxygen content in the bottle reaches the predetermined requirement. During nitrogen filling, the outer cylinder 1 remains stationary. After nitrogen filling is completed, a final vacuum operation is performed to reduce the gas pressure inside the bottle to ensure the effectiveness of the stopper seal. Subsequently, the inner shaft descends through the first lifting device, pressing the stopper into the bottle opening, completing the nitrogen-filling and sealing process. As can be seen from the above process, this nitrogen-filling and stoppering device creates a small, sealed space at the bottle opening and uses an initial vacuum to remove as much air as possible from this space. Then, nitrogen is filled into the bottle opening through multiple evenly distributed oblique holes on the nitrogen distribution ring. Throughout the nitrogen filling process, nitrogen continuously flows in and maintains a certain pressure to ensure that the residual oxygen level inside the bottle is more strictly controlled. After the nitrogen filling is completed, a second vacuum operation is performed to reduce the pressure, thereby preventing the stopper from popping due to excessive nitrogen pressure. The entire process is carried out in a nitrogen-protected sealed space, preventing oxygen from re-entering the bottle during transportation, effectively reducing the defect rate, lowering production costs, and improving production efficiency.
[0070] Please see the appendix Figure 2As shown, in some other optional embodiments, the nitrogen-filling and stoppering device operates as follows: First, the stopper holder 4 lifts the stopper, the outer cylinder 1 descends or the bottle rises, causing the sealing connector 5 to engage with the bottle body. The position is adjusted to maintain a small gap between the sealing connector 5 and the bottle body. Because the inner cylinder 2 and outer cylinder 1 are sealed together by the sealing assembly 6, nitrogen cannot overflow upwards. Next, the space between the outer cylinder 1 and the bottle body is evacuated through the vacuum port 7, removing the air. After evacuation, the vacuum channel is closed, and the nitrogen port 8 is opened. Nitrogen gas is precisely aligned with the bottle opening through multiple evenly distributed oblique holes on the nitrogen distribution ring, directly and effectively filling the bottle. During the filling process, under the pressure of nitrogen gas, the air inside the bottle is forcibly displaced, and the air can flow out from the small gap between the sealing connector 5 and the bottle body. Nitrogen filling continues until the residual oxygen level in the bottle reaches the predetermined requirement. During the nitrogen filling process, the outer cylinder 1 remains stationary. After nitrogen filling is completed, the inner shaft descends via the first lifting device, pressing the stopper into the bottle mouth, thus completing the nitrogen filling and stoppering process. As can be seen from the above process, this nitrogen filling and stoppering device utilizes multiple evenly distributed oblique holes on the nitrogen distribution ring to fill the bottle mouth with nitrogen, using nitrogen pressure to forcibly displace the air inside the bottle. The entire process is carried out within a nitrogen-protected space, preventing oxygen re-entry during bottle transport, effectively reducing the defect rate, lowering production costs, and improving production efficiency.
