Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a high-density polyethylene bottle stability tester for pharmaceuticals under high humidity conditions. Background Technology
[0002] High-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles are a commonly used packaging material, widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and other fields. A drug stability tester can detect the sealing performance of HDPE bottles under high humidity conditions, thus determining the protective effect of HDPE bottles on pharmaceuticals and ensuring their stability and safety. (Existing technology: Authorization Publication Number CN) Patent 221147986U discloses a sealing performance testing device, including a testing chamber and a lithium battery to be tested. The testing chamber has a cap at its upper end and a testing cavity inside. A built-in placement platform is located below the testing cavity. Although this device can drive two screws to rotate via a drive device to position the cap and close the testing chamber, the two screws are exposed to the external environment. Over time, dust and other debris from the external environment will adhere to the outside of the screws. Dust particles will accelerate the wear of the mating surface between the screw and the slider, resulting in a decrease in thread accuracy. This will cause the cap to move unevenly, ultimately reducing the sealing effect and affecting the accuracy of subsequent experiments. Therefore, we propose a high-density polyethylene bottle stability testing instrument for pharmaceuticals under high humidity conditions. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a high-density polyethylene bottle drug stability tester under high humidity environment, including a body 1, a placement groove 3 in the middle of the bottom wall of the body 1, a test chamber 4 placed inside the placement groove 3, an air inlet 10 in the lower side of the inner arc surface of the test chamber 4, and an exhaust pipe 11 in the exhaust hole in the upper side of the inner arc surface of the test chamber 4. An air inlet valve and an exhaust valve are connected in series in the middle of the air inlet pipe 10 and the exhaust pipe 11, respectively. The operator connects the air inlet pipe 10 and the exhaust pipe 11 to an external pipe (the flange one outside the air inlet pipe 10 and the flange two of the external pipe are connected by screws). After connection, the air inlet valve and the exhaust valve are opened. Water vapor will then enter the interior of the air inlet pipe 10 through the external pipe, and the water vapor inside the air inlet pipe 10 will enter the interior of the test chamber 4. The air inside the test chamber 4 will be discharged through the exhaust pipe 11, thereby increasing the humidity inside the test chamber 4. It also includes a sealing mechanism 5.
[0020] Sealing mechanism 5: It includes sliding columns 51, sealing cover 52, and driving assembly 53. The sliding columns 51 are slidably connected to sliding holes on the left and right sides of the top wall of the machine body 1, respectively. The lower ends of the two sliding columns 51 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the sealing cover 52. The sealing cover 52 corresponds to the upper and lower positions of the test chamber 4. The sealing cover 52 is driven by the driving assembly 53. The driving assembly 53 includes guide sliding columns 531, connecting plate 532, push rod 533, mounting plate 534, trapezoidal seat 535, and mounting groove 537. The mounting groove 537 is located on the upper side inside the machine body 1, and guide sliding columns 531 are respectively provided on the upper side inside the mounting groove 537. The front ends of the two guide pins 531 are slidably connected to the corresponding sliding holes at the rear end of the connecting plate 532. A push rod 533 is provided in the middle of the lower end of the connecting plate 532. The upper ends of the two guide pins 51 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting plate 534. A trapezoidal seat 535 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the mounting plate 534. The lower end of the push rod 533 contacts the inclined surface at the upper end of the trapezoidal seat 535. The drive assembly 53 also includes an electric push rod 536. The electric push rod 536 is located on the upper side of the rear wall of the mounting groove 537. The front end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 536 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the connecting plate 532. The input end of the electric push rod 536 is connected to... When the output of the microcontroller 2 is electrically connected, the electric push rod 536 starts operating. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 536 extends, causing it to move forward along the guide slide post 531 via the connecting plate 532, carrying the push rod 533. At this time, the guide slide post 531 provides a guiding support, reducing the radial force applied to the electric push rod 536 by the connecting plate 532 and preventing bending deformation of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 536 (the radial force of the electric push rod 536 is borne by the sliding of the guide slide post 531; the electric push rod 536 is only subjected to axial force). During the forward movement of the push rod 533, the push rod 533 will... A downward thrust is applied to the trapezoidal seat 535 via its inclined surface, causing the push rod 533 to move the mounting plate 534 downwards via the trapezoidal seat 535. The mounting plate 534 then moves the sealing cover 52 downwards via the sliding column 51. When the distance between the testing device and the bottom wall of the body 1 is equal to h, the lower surface of the sealing cover 52 will contact the upper surface of the test chamber 4, thereby sealing the test chamber 4. This method can replace the traditional method of moving the sealing cover 52 via a threaded connection, solving the problem of the sealing effect of the sealing cover 52 being affected by damage to the screw, and further ensuring the accuracy of the experiment.
[0021] Among them, a microcontroller 2 is set on the right end of the body 1. The input terminal of the microcontroller 2 is electrically connected to an external power supply and can regulate the electrical components inside the device.
[0022] The sealing cover 52 has a fixing plate 6 on the upper right side and a laser rangefinder 7 on the lower right side of the fixing plate 6. The laser rangefinder 7 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the microcontroller 2. The light source built into the laser rangefinder 7 emits a laser beam to the bottom wall of the body 1. When the laser comes into contact with the bottom wall of the body 1, it is reflected. Then the laser rangefinder 7 receives the reflected light. The laser rangefinder 7 calculates the distance between the laser rangefinder 7 and the bottom wall of the body 1 by measuring the round-trip time (TOF) or phase difference of the laser.
[0023] The test chamber 4 has humidity sensors 8 installed on the upper and lower sides of its outer arc surface. The probes at the middle of the rear end of the two humidity sensors 8 are located inside the test chamber 4. The humidity sensors 8 are bidirectionally electrically connected to the microcontroller 2. The humidity sensors 8 utilize the adsorption of water vapor on conductive materials to change the resistance value of the conductive materials. When the water vapor content in the test chamber 4 increases, the conductive materials of the humidity sensors 8 absorb water vapor, resulting in a decrease in resistance value. The humidity sensors 8 then determine the humidity by measuring the change in resistance value.
[0024] Among them, springs 9 are respectively installed between the upper end of the sealing cover 52 and the top wall of the machine body 1. The springs 9 are all sleeved on the outside of the lower side of the slide column 51. The tension generated by the contraction of the springs 9 will drive the sealing cover 52 to move upward (the operator can clean and lubricate the springs 9 regularly, which can further improve the service life of the springs 9).
[0025] The working principle of the high-density polyethylene bottle drug stability tester under high humidity environment provided by this utility model is as follows: During the use of the high-density polyethylene bottle drug stability tester under high humidity environment, the operator first measures the height of the test chamber 4 (e.g., a), and then measures the heights of the placement slot 3, laser rangefinder 7, and sealing cap 52 (e.g., b, c, and d). Then, the high-density polyethylene bottle containing the drug is placed in the middle of the bottom wall of the test chamber 4. Next, the distance between the laser rangefinder 7 and the bottom wall of the machine body 1 is measured. During use, because the length of the fixing plate 6 is greater than the exhaust pipe 11, the laser emitted by the built-in light source of the laser rangefinder 7 will directly reach the bottom wall of the machine body 1. Upon contact with the wall, the light is reflected, and then the laser rangefinder 7 receives the reflected light. The laser rangefinder 7 calculates the distance between itself and the bottom wall of the machine body 1 by measuring the time-of-flight (TOF) or phase difference of the laser beam (e). The laser rangefinder 7 then transmits the detected information to the microcontroller 2 via its built-in data transmission module. The microcontroller 2 receives the detected data via its built-in serial communication port. The operator adds the height of the laser rangefinder 7 to this distance and subtracts the height of the sealing cover 52 to obtain the distance from the lower end of the sealing cover 52 to the bottom wall of the machine body 1 (f, where f = e + cd). Subtracting the height of the test box 4 and the placement slot 3 from this distance gives the distance of the sealing cover 52. The distance between the lower end of the sealing cover 52 and the upper end of the test box 4 (e.g., g, g = fab) is calculated by subtracting the distance between the lower end of the sealing cover 52 and the upper end of the test box 4 from the distance between the laser rangefinder 7 and the bottom wall of the body 1. This gives the distance at which the sealing cover 52 stops operating (e.g., h, h = eg). Then, through the control of the microcontroller 2, the electric push rod 536 starts to operate, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 536 begins to extend, causing the electric push rod 536 to move forward along the guide slide column 531 via the connecting plate 532, carrying the push rod 533. At this time, the guide slide column 531 provides a guiding support, reducing the radial force applied to the electric push rod 536 by the connecting plate 532 and preventing the telescopic end of the electric push rod 536 from bending and deforming. (The radial force of the electric push rod 536 is borne by the sliding bearing of the guide column 531, and the electric push rod 5636 is only subjected to the front and rear axial force.) During the forward movement of the push rod 533, the push rod 533 will exert a downward thrust on the trapezoidal seat 535 through the inclined surface of the trapezoidal seat 535, thereby causing the push rod 533 to drive the mounting plate 534 to move downward through the trapezoidal seat 535. The mounting plate 534 will drive the sealing cover 52 to move downward through the sliding column 51. The spring 9 extends, and during the movement of the sealing cover 52, it will also drive the laser rangefinder 7 to move downward through the fixing plate 6. When the distance between the laser rangefinder 7 and the bottom wall of the body 1 is equal to h, the lower surface of the sealing cover 52 will contact the upper surface of the test box 4, thereby sealing the test box 4.The operator then connects the intake pipe 10 and exhaust pipe 11 to the external pipe (the flange one on the outside of the intake pipe 10 and exhaust pipe 11 is connected to the flange two on the external pipe with screws). After connection, the intake valve and exhaust valve are opened. Water vapor then enters the interior of the intake pipe 10 through the external pipe, and the water vapor inside the intake pipe 10 enters the interior of the test chamber 4. The air inside the test chamber 4 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 11, thereby increasing the humidity inside the test chamber 4. The humidity sensor 8 utilizes the adsorption effect of water vapor on the conductive material, changing the resistance value of the conductive material. When the water vapor content inside the test chamber 4 increases, the conductive material of the humidity sensor 8 absorbs water vapor, causing the resistance value to decrease. The humidity sensor 8 then determines the humidity by measuring the change in resistance value. Afterward, the humidity sensor 8 transmits the detected information to the microcontroller 2 through the built-in data transmission module. The microcontroller 2 receives the detected data through the built-in serial communication port, and then takes an intermediate value based on the data provided by the two humidity sensors 8. This intermediate value is the humidity inside the test chamber 4. When the humidity inside the test chamber 4 reaches the set value, the operator uses an external timing device (mobile phone or timer) to time the test. After the specified test time is reached, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 536 begins to shorten under the control of the microcontroller 2. This causes the electric push rod 536 to move backward along the guide slide column 531 via the connecting plate 532, carrying the push rod 533. During the backward movement of the push rod 533, the tension generated by the contraction of the spring 9 will drive the sealing cover 52 to move upward (the operator can regularly clean and lubricate the spring 9 to further improve its service life). Thus, the sealing cover 52 drives the connecting plate 532 to move upward and reset via the slide column 51. The connecting plate 532 then drives the trapezoidal block 535 to move upward and reset. At the same time, the sealing cover 52 will also separate from the test chamber 4, thereby opening the test chamber 4. The operator then takes out the high-density polyethylene bottle containing the medicine, opens the high-density polyethylene bottle containing the medicine, and observes the state of the medicine to determine whether the high-density polyethylene bottle can effectively protect the medicine in a high-humidity environment.
[0026] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 2 disclosed in the above embodiments can be an ATmega328P, the electric actuator 536 can be a dytp2000-550 / 50-x, the laser rangefinder 7 can be an HMLDM-UD100A, and the humidity sensor 8 can be a YF-WSD300B. The microcontroller 2 controls the operation of the electric actuator 536, the laser rangefinder 7, and the humidity sensor 8 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
