Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical rubber stopper cleaning technology, specifically an environmentally friendly rubber stopper cleaning vacuum purification device. Background Technology

[0002] The rubber stopper is a butyl rubber stopper. Butyl rubber stoppers have excellent internal cleanliness, chemical stability, airtightness, and biological properties. However, due to the complexity of the formula and the concentration gradient of the added raw materials, after being encapsulated with some drugs with strong molecular activity, the stopper can be absorbed, adsorbed, leached, or permeated by the drug, resulting in compatibility issues between the stopper and the drug. This is particularly prominent in some cephalosporins, some large-volume parenteral solutions, and many traditional Chinese medicine injection preparations.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model application number CN202222271373.5 discloses an environmentally friendly cleaning device for rubber stopper production, including a cleaning tank. A drive plate is fixedly installed at the top opening of the cleaning tank, and a control panel is fixedly installed on the outer side of the drive plate. A lifting rod and a positioning rod are slidably connected to the inner side of the drive plate, and a rotating plate is rotatably connected to the inner side of the drive plate. A drive gear is provided at the bottom end of the rotating plate. By setting up a drive plate, a cleaning frame, and a drive gear, the lifting rod and positioning rod driven by the drive plate respectively drive the cleaning frame and the drive gear to perform lifting and rotating movements. The lifting movement of the cleaning frame makes it convenient for workers to put in and take out rubber stoppers, thus avoiding the manual retrieval process. In addition, the drive gear drives the driven gear to electrically rotate the cleaning frame, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions can only clean the rubber stoppers. After cleaning, the rubber stoppers still need to be removed and placed in other disinfection equipment for sterilization and disinfection, which increases the cleaning steps. In addition, dust may adhere to the surface of the damp rubber stoppers during the transfer process, causing secondary pollution. Therefore, we need to propose an environmentally friendly vacuum purification device for cleaning rubber stoppers. Utility Model Content

One end of the flexible hose 53 is provided with a three-way pipe 55. One end of the three-way pipe 55 passes through the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the spray head 56. The filtered cleaning liquid is pumped back into the cleaning tank 1 by the circulating pump 51, which can wash off the impurities on the surface of the rubber stopper during cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the rubber stopper.

[0033] The hot air mechanism 4 includes a heat pump dryer 41 installed on the top of the cleaning tank 1. The air outlet of the heat pump dryer 41 is provided with a vent pipe 42 connected to a three-way pipe 55.

During drying, the first valve 43 is opened and the second valve 54 is closed. During rinsing, the second valve 54 is opened and the first valve 43 is closed. The three-way pipe 55 is used to realize the integration of rinsing and drying, simplifying the operation.

[0034] The filtration mechanism 3 includes a water filter tank 31 mounted on a bracket 2. The water filter tank 31 is equipped with a filter frame 32 for filtering clean water. The filter frame 32 is equipped with a multi-stage filtration structure 35. A circulation pump 51 is installed at the lower end of one side of the water filter tank 31. A connecting pipe 33 connected to the cleaning tank 1 is provided at the top of the water filter tank 31. A diversion pipe 34 is provided on the side of the water filter tank 31 opposite to the circulation pump 51.

[0038] When in use, open the sealing cap 10, put the rubber stopper into the centrifuge cylinder 72 and close the sealing cap 10. Start the motor 71 to drive the centrifuge cylinder 72 to rotate. The first spiral blade 76 and the paddle 75 on the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 72 and the second spiral blade 77 on the inner wall of the cone cylinder 73 cause the rubber stopper to roll and collide under the action of centrifugal force. At the same time, the water inlet pipe 6 injects cleaning liquid to achieve preliminary agitation and cleaning. At this time, the vacuum pump 12 starts to form a negative pressure environment in the cleaning tank 1 to accelerate the separation of dirt from the rubber stopper.

[0040] At the same time, the circulating pump 51 draws water from the filter tank 31, and through the inner tube 52, hose 53 and three-way pipe 55, the rubber stopper is rinsed twice by the spray head 56 to remove the impurities attached to the surface of the rubber stopper. The cleaning solution flows back into the filter tank 31 for recycling. After cleaning, the cleaning water is discharged and stored through the diversion pipe 34.

[0041] During drying, the second valve 54 of the circulating spray is closed, and the first valve 43 of the hot air mechanism 4 is opened. The hot air generated by the heat pump dryer 41 enters the cleaning tank 1 through the air pipe 42 and the three-way pipe 55 to dry the rubber stopper. After drying, the rubber stopper can be removed from the cone end 73 by opening the sealing cover 10 and using the centrifuge 72 to rotate in the opposite direction, realizing the fully automated operation of rubber stopper cleaning, disinfection and drying.
