Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of article recycling and disposal, and in particular to a device for recycling thermally conductive gel dispensing syringes. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of recycling and processing, the recycling of thermally conductive material packaging, especially the recycling of thermally conductive gel dispensing syringes, has long been a key focus of the industry. With the rapid development of modern technology, thermally conductive gels, due to their excellent thermal conductivity, are widely used in many fields such as electronic device heat dissipation, medical devices, and aerospace. They help dissipate heat from electronic components, ensure stable equipment operation, improve the lifespan and efficiency of electronic devices, and also ensure the accuracy and stability of medical devices. However, the recycling problem of its packaging syringes has become increasingly prominent, becoming a key factor restricting the industry's development. Effectively solving the recycling problem of thermally conductive gel dispensing syringes can reduce enterprise production costs, enhance market competitiveness, reduce resource waste, promote the green and sustainable development of the industry, and meet the social needs of energy conservation, emission reduction, and resource recycling. When faced with the problem of difficult removal of residual inner plugs from used thermally conductive gel dispensing syringes, existing technologies typically employ two methods. One is the mechanical hooking method, where operators use hooked pliers or special grasping instruments to try to hook the edge of the inner plug and then remove it by external force. This method is relatively common within a certain range. Another method is high-temperature softening, which uses heating equipment such as a furnace or hot air blower to heat the syringe, softening the gel and facilitating the movement and removal of the inner plug. However, these existing technologies have significant drawbacks. Mechanical hooking methods are cumbersome, requiring high skill and patience from the operator, and are prone to damaging the syringe nozzle and scratching the gel, affecting its quality and making it difficult to ensure complete removal of the inner plug, resulting in a high risk of inner plug residue. While high-temperature softening can soften the gel, the high temperature during heating may react chemically with the syringe material, contaminating it and rendering the syringe unusable, causing significant resource waste. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to improve the recycling rate of syringes and effectively avoid damage to the syringes when recycling the inner plug, thereby achieving efficient recycling of the syringe inner plug, this application provides a thermally conductive gel dispensing syringe recycling device.

[0004] This application provides a thermally conductive gel dispensing syringe recovery device, including a disassembly device. The disassembly device includes a syringe clamping mechanism, a pressurizing air blowing mechanism, and an inner plug recovery mechanism. The syringe clamping mechanism includes a clamping base, a clamping assembly, and a clamping drive for driving the clamping assembly to clamp the syringe. The clamping assembly is disposed on the top of the clamping base, and the clamping drive is disposed on the clamping base. The air outlet of the pressurizing air blowing mechanism is sealed and connected to the dispensing nozzle of the syringe on the clamping base. The feed end of the inner plug recovery mechanism is connected to the open end of the syringe on the clamping base. When the pressurizing air blowing mechanism blows air onto the dispensing nozzle of the syringe, the inner plug inside the syringe is blown to the inner plug recovery mechanism for recovery. By adopting the above technical solution, the disassembly device includes a syringe clamping mechanism, a pressurizing air blowing mechanism, and an inner plug recovery mechanism. The clamping drive of the syringe clamping mechanism can drive the clamping assembly disposed on the top of the clamping base to clamp the syringe, so that the syringe is stably placed on the clamping base. Next, the air outlet of the pressurized air blowing mechanism is sealed and connected to the syringe dispensing nozzle. Due to the good seal, when the pressurized air blowing mechanism blows air onto the syringe dispensing nozzle, the airflow acts entirely on the inside of the syringe, increasing the air pressure inside. Meanwhile, the feed end of the inner plug recovery mechanism is connected to the syringe opening. Under the action of air pressure, the inner plug inside the syringe is blown towards the syringe opening and smoothly enters the inner plug recovery mechanism for recycling. This avoids the problems of traditional mechanical hooking methods, such as cumbersome operation, easy damage to the syringe nozzle, scratches on the ointment, and inner plug residue. It also avoids the problems of high-temperature softening methods, such as tube contamination and resource waste caused by high-temperature chemical reactions with the tube material. This achieves safe, efficient, and complete recovery of the syringe inner plug, which helps reduce enterprise production costs, reduce resource waste, and promote the green and sustainable development of the industry. Preferably, the clamping assembly includes at least three clamping members and a fixing rod. Each of the three clamping members includes two hinged clamping plates and an elastic reset member disposed between the two clamping plates. The fixing rod passes through the hinge points of the three clamping members sequentially and is fixed to the clamping base. The clamping plates are sickle-shaped, and the clamping openings of the two clamping plates are crescent-shaped. The two clamping plates are kept open by the elastic reset member. The clamping drive member drives the two clamping plates to rotate around the hinge point to close the clamping openings. By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping assembly is provided with at least three clamping members, each clamping member including two hinged clamping plates and an elastic reset member. The elastic reset member keeps the clamping openings of the two clamping plates open, facilitating the insertion of the syringe. When it is necessary to clamp the syringe, the clamping drive member drives the two clamping plates to rotate around the hinge point to close the clamping openings. Since the fixing rod passes through the hinge points of the three clamping parts in sequence and is fixed to the clamping seat, it can ensure that each clamping part moves synchronously. With more than three clamping parts clamping the syringe from multiple directions, the syringe can be subjected to more even force compared to a smaller number of clamping parts, avoiding damage caused by excessive local force.Meanwhile, the clamping plates have a sickle-shaped design and a crescent-shaped clamping opening, which allows them to better fit the outer wall of the syringe, increasing the contact area and thus improving the clamping stability. This stable clamping facilitates the subsequent pressurization and blowing mechanism to blow air onto the syringe dispensing nozzle, ensuring that the syringe does not shake or shift during the blowing process. This guarantees that the inner plug inside the syringe can be smoothly blown into the inner plug recovery mechanism for recycling, improving the overall working efficiency and reliability of the thermally conductive gel dispensing syringe recovery device. Preferably, the clamping drive component includes a clamping drive cylinder, a crossbar, and three connecting rod structures. The clamping drive cylinder is located on the clamping seat and drives the crossbar to move. The three connecting rod structures correspond one-to-one with the clamping component. Each connecting rod structure is a "V"-shaped structure formed by two connecting rods hinged together. The tops of the two connecting rods are respectively connected to the bottoms of the two clamping plates, and the crossbar passes through the hinge points of the three connecting rod structures in sequence. By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping drive cylinder is set on the clamping seat and drives the crossbar to move. Since the three linkage structures correspond one-to-one with the clamping parts, and the crossbar passes through the hinge points of the three linkage structures in sequence, and the linkage structure is a "V"-shaped structure formed by the hinge of two linkages, with the tops of the two linkages respectively connected to the bottoms of the two clamping pieces, when the clamping drive cylinder drives the crossbar to move, the crossbar drives the linkage structure to move, thereby causing the linkage structure to drive the corresponding two clamping pieces to rotate around the hinge, realizing the closure of the clamp, thus stably clamping the syringe and preventing the syringe from shaking or shifting during the recycling process, which is conducive to the smooth removal of the syringe plug later. Preferably, the pressurized blowing mechanism includes a valve and an air compressor. One end of the valve is installed on the clamping seat and sealed to the syringe dispensing nozzle, and the other end is connected to the air compressor. By adopting the above technical solution, since the pressurizing blowing mechanism includes a valve connected to an air compressor, and one end of the valve is sealed and connected to the dispensing nozzle of the syringe on the clamping seat, the compressed air generated by the air compressor can be delivered to the syringe through the valve. As compressed air is continuously injected into the syringe, the pressure inside increases. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it pushes the inner plug inside the syringe towards the open end, avoiding the problems of damage to the syringe nozzle, scratches on the ointment, and inner plug residue that easily occur with traditional mechanical hooking methods. It also avoids the problems of chemical reaction between high temperature and the tube material, which can lead to tube contamination, as with high-temperature softening methods. Therefore, the inner plug can be completely and smoothly recycled into the inner plug recovery mechanism. Preferably, the inner plug recovery mechanism includes a protective cover and a recovery box. The protective cover is a ring-shaped structure with openings at both ends. The protective cover is installed on the clamping seat, with one end opening connected to the opening of the syringe, and the other end opening facing the recovery box, which is located directly below the protective cover. By adopting the above technical solution, the protective cover is a ring-shaped mesh structure with openings at both ends. One end of the opening is connected to the opening of the syringe. When the pressurizing air blowing mechanism blows air onto the syringe nozzle, the inner plug inside the syringe is blown out and enters the protective cover.Because the protective cover acts as a guide, it helps the inner plug move smoothly. Its other end opens towards the recycling box located on one side of the clamping seat. Therefore, after the inner plug moves along the protective cover, it falls into the recycling box, achieving recycling and avoiding the inconvenience of subsequent processing caused by careless disposal. It also facilitates centralized processing and reuse of the inner plug. Preferably, it also includes a scraping device, which comprises a sliding component, a telescopic umbrella frame, and a silicone sleeve. The sliding component is located on one side of the clamping seat. The silicone sleeve is fitted over the telescopic umbrella frame and can retract or expand. The sliding component drives the telescopic umbrella frame and the silicone sleeve to extend from the syringe opening to the dispensing nozzle. After the telescopic umbrella frame expands, the silicone sleeve opens in a hemispherical shape and adheres to the inner wall of the syringe. Then, the telescopic umbrella frame and the silicone sleeve are driven out of the syringe to scrape the adhesive from the inner wall of the syringe. By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding component of the scraping device can drive the telescopic umbrella frame and silicone sleeve to extend from the syringe opening to the dispensing nozzle. Since the silicone sleeve is fitted outside the telescopic umbrella frame and can retract or expand, when the telescopic umbrella frame expands, the silicone sleeve will open in a hemispherical shape and adhere to the inner wall of the syringe. In this way, when the telescopic umbrella frame and silicone sleeve are driven out of the syringe, the silicone sleeve can effectively scrape away the residual gel on the inner wall of the syringe. This scraping method can reduce the amount of residual gel in the syringe, avoid the residual gel affecting subsequent use or recycling of the syringe, improve the cleanliness of the syringe inner wall, make the syringe easier to perform subsequent cleaning and recycling processes, and further improve the syringe recycling rate. Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a first driving member, a slide rail, and a second driving member. The slide rail is disposed on one side of the clamping seat, the first driving member is disposed at one end of the slide rail, and the second driving member is slidably disposed on the slide rail. The first driving member drives the second driving member to slide. The telescopic umbrella frame includes a sleeve, a transmission rod, and at least two support rods. The sleeve is sleeved on the transmission rod. One end of the sleeve is connected to the second driving member, and the other end is connected to the silicone sleeve. One end of the transmission rod is connected to the output end of the second driving member, and the other end is hinged to both support rods. One end of each support rod is hinged to the transmission rod, and the other end is connected to the silicone sleeve. The side wall of the sleeve is provided with a clearance groove corresponding to the support rod, so that the second driving member drives the transmission rod to move within the sleeve, thereby causing the support rod to rotate, so as to realize the expansion or contraction of the silicone sleeve. By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving component is set at one end of the slide rail and drives the second driving component to slide on the slide rail. Since one end of the sleeve is connected to the second driving component, and one end of the transmission rod is also connected to the output end of the second driving component, the sliding of the second driving component will drive the sleeve and the transmission rod to move. Furthermore, since the other end of the transmission rod is hinged to two support rods at the same time, and the side wall of the sleeve is provided with clearance grooves corresponding to the support rods, when the second driving component drives the transmission rod to move inside the sleeve, it will drive the support rods to rotate.The silicone sleeve is fitted over the telescopic umbrella frame, and the support rod of the telescopic umbrella frame is connected to the silicone sleeve. Therefore, the rotation of the support rod can expand or retract the silicone sleeve. In this way, the sliding component can drive the telescopic umbrella frame and silicone sleeve, which are in the retracted state, to smoothly extend from the syringe opening to the dispensing nozzle. After the telescopic umbrella frame expands, the silicone sleeve opens into a hemispherical shape and fits against the inner wall of the syringe. Then, the telescopic umbrella frame and silicone sleeve are driven out of the syringe, which can efficiently scrape the glue on the inner wall of the syringe, effectively remove the residual thermal conductive gel on the inner wall of the syringe, avoid the residual gel from adversely affecting the subsequent use of the syringe, and thus improve the recycling rate of the syringe and reduce resource waste. Preferably, it also includes a cleaning device, which includes a water tank, a return tank, and a cleaning nozzle. A platform is provided on the return tank. One end of the cleaning nozzle is connected to the water tank, and the other end can be inserted into the syringe. The cleaning nozzle is installed on the platform to spray cleaning agent into the syringe. The return tank is used to collect cleaning waste liquid. By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning device includes a water storage tank, a return tank, and a cleaning nozzle. One end of the cleaning nozzle is connected to the water storage tank and can draw out the cleaning agent from the tank. The other end can be inserted into a syringe and is installed on a platform in the return tank. When the syringe is placed on the platform, the cleaning nozzle can spray the cleaning agent into the syringe, thereby cleaning the inside of the syringe and effectively removing residual impurities and gel. Simultaneously, the return tank can collect the waste liquid generated during the cleaning process, avoiding indiscriminate discharge and environmental pollution. This ensures both the effectiveness of syringe cleaning and achieves the goal of environmentally friendly recycling. Preferably, the spray end of the cleaning nozzle has a tapered constriction structure, and a pressure water pump is installed in the water storage tank. The cleaning nozzle is connected to the pressure water pump. By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure pump in the water storage tank generates pressure, which is transmitted to the cleaning nozzle through the hose. Since the spray end of the cleaning nozzle has a tapered constriction structure, according to fluid mechanics principles, at the same flow rate, a smaller pipe cross-sectional area increases the flow velocity. Therefore, it increases the flow velocity and pressure of the cleaning agent sprayed from the spray end, thereby more efficiently rinsing the inside of the syringe and improving the cleaning effect. Preferably, it also includes a material transfer device, which includes a feeding platform and a robotic arm. The feeding platform is used to place the syringes to be processed, and the robotic arm is located on one side of the feeding platform. The robotic arm is used to grip the syringes on the feeding platform and transfer them to the disassembly device for internal plug recovery, and to transfer the syringes with recovered internal plugs to the cleaning device for cleaning. By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding platform is used to place the syringes to be processed, facilitating centralized management and storage of the syringes, ensuring orderly arrangement of the syringes, and facilitating subsequent operations. The robotic arm, located on one side of the feeding platform, can move flexibly and perform accurate positioning and gripping actions. The robotic arm can grip the syringes on the feeding platform and move them to the disassembly device, avoiding the tediousness and inefficiency of manual handling and improving the efficiency of transporting syringes to the disassembly device.After the syringe is sent to the disassembly device, the inner plug can be recovered. Then, a robotic arm promptly transfers the recovered syringe to a cleaning device for washing, making the syringe recovery process more streamlined and automated. This entire process reduces manual labor, lowers the risk of errors from manual operation, and significantly improves the overall efficiency of syringe recovery. It also ensures smooth flow of the syringe between different processing stages, helping to increase the syringe's recycling rate, effectively preventing damage to the syringe during inner plug recovery, and ultimately achieving efficient recovery of the syringe inner plug.

[0005] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0006] 1. The air outlet of the pressurized air blowing mechanism is sealed and connected to the dispensing nozzle of the syringe on the clamping seat. When the pressurized air blowing mechanism blows air onto the dispensing nozzle of the syringe, the gas forms pressure in the syringe and blows the inner plug inside the syringe completely to the inner plug recovery mechanism for recovery. This avoids the problem of inner plug residue caused by the high difficulty of operation, as is the case with mechanical hooking method, and reduces the risk of inner plug residue.

[0007] 2. The addition of a scraping device, a cleaning device, and a material transfer device improves the level of automation, increases the efficiency of syringe recycling and processing, and ensures a higher syringe reuse rate. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0014] This application provides an embodiment of a thermally conductive gel dispensing syringe recovery device, referring to... Figure 1 It includes a disassembly device 1, a scraping device 2, a cleaning device 3, and a transfer device 4. The disassembly device 1, the scraping device 2, and the cleaning device 3 are all placed on a workbench that is easy to operate and can be reasonably arranged according to the actual site requirements. The transfer device 4 is set on the workbench and can directly act on the disassembly device 1, the scraping device 2, and the cleaning device 3, etc., realizing the integration of the three major functional modules of internal plug collection, residual glue collection, and pipe wall cleaning into one.

[0015] Specifically, the disassembly device 1 in this embodiment includes a syringe clamping mechanism 11, a pressurizing air blowing mechanism 12, and an inner plug recovery mechanism 13. The syringe clamping mechanism 11 securely clamps the syringe, the pressurizing air blowing mechanism 12 is connected to the syringe dispensing nozzle and blows air, and the inner plug recovery mechanism 13 is connected to the syringe opening to receive the inner plug. This cooperative arrangement achieves the effect of blowing out and recovering the syringe inner plug through air blowing. This is because the air pressure generated by the pressurizing air blowing can push the inner plug out from the syringe opening and then collect it by the recovery mechanism. (Refer to...) Figure 2The syringe clamping mechanism 11 includes a clamping base 111, a clamping assembly 112, and a clamping drive 113 for clamping the syringe. The clamping assembly 112 is disposed on the top of the clamping base 111, and the clamping drive 113 is disposed on the clamping base 111. The clamping assembly 112 includes at least three clamping members and a fixing rod 1123. Each of the three clamping members includes two hinged sickle-shaped clamping pieces 1121 and an elastic reset member 1122 disposed between the two clamping pieces 1121. The two clamping pieces 1121 are cross-hinged so that the two clamping pieces 1121 can be clamped around the hinge point. The elastic reset member 1122 is horizontally disposed between the two clamping pieces 1121, and both ends of the elastic reset member 1122 are fixedly connected to the two clamping pieces 1121 respectively, so as to realize the function of automatic reset of the two clamped clamping pieces 1121. The fixing rod 1123 passes through the three clamping members in sequence. Both ends of the fixing rod 1123 are fixed to the clamping seat 111, so that the clamping drive 113 can drive the three clamping members to clamp synchronously without moving the clamping members. In this embodiment, the clamping seat 111 is a hollow frustum structure. The top surface of the clamping seat 111 is an inclined plane. The syringe is installed on the inclined top surface of the clamping seat 111 with the dispensing nozzle facing downward. Since the diameter of the syringe body is the same and the diameter of the dispensing nozzle is smaller than the diameter of the syringe body, the three clamping members are designed to be two large clamping members and one small clamping member. The shape of the small clamping member closest to the dispensing nozzle of the syringe is specially designed. The crescent-shaped clamping mouth of the two large clamping members has a diameter of about 50 mm and a clamping mouth thickness of 5-10 mm. The crescent-shaped clamping mouth of the small clamping member has a diameter of about 10 mm and a clamping mouth thickness of 5-10 mm. This allows the crossbar 1132 to drive the three clamping members to clamp different parts of the syringe synchronously. Of particular note is the structural feature of the clamping piece 1121: the clamping piece 1121 is sickle-shaped, a design that helps to better conform to the surface of the syringe. The clamping openings of the two clamping pieces 1121 are crescent-shaped, and the two clamping pieces 1121 are kept open by the elastic reset member 1122. In this embodiment, the elastic reset member 1122 is a spring, and the spring constant should be moderate to ensure that the clamping opening is open and that the clamping opening closes smoothly under force. In other embodiments, the elastic reset member 1122 can be a rubber elastomer, etc. The two clamping pieces 1121 rotate around the hinge to realize the opening and closing of the clamping opening. Specifically, the clamping drive member 113 in this embodiment includes a clamping drive cylinder 1131, a crossbar 1132, and three connecting rod structures 1133.The clamping drive cylinder 1131 is installed below the inclined top surface of the clamping seat 111 and inside the hollow structure of the clamping seat 111. In order to ensure the balance and stability of the crossbar 1132, a balance bar and several support columns are provided between the crossbar 1132 and the piston rod of the clamping drive cylinder 1131. The bottom of the balance bar is connected to the piston rod. The balance bar and the fixed rod 1123 are respectively arranged parallel to each other below and above the inclined top surface of the clamping seat 111. Several support columns are provided on the balance bar at intervals. Each support column passes through the inclined top surface of the clamping seat 111 and is connected to the crossbar 1132. This is to enable the several support columns on the balance bar to slide through the inclined top surface of the clamping seat 111 when the clamping drive cylinder 1131 drives the balance bar to move, thereby driving the crossbar 1132 to move synchronously. Furthermore, three linkage structures 1133 correspond one-to-one with the clamping components and are disposed at the bottom of the corresponding clamping components. The linkage structure 1133 is a "V"-shaped structure formed by two linkages hinged together. The tops of the two linkages are respectively connected to the bottoms of the two clamping plates 1121, and the crossbar 1132 passes through the hinge points of the three linkage structures 1133 in sequence. When the clamping drive cylinder 1131 pushes the crossbar 1132 to move, the clamping plates 1121 are driven to rotate around the hinge points through the linkage structures 1133, thereby closing the clamping jaws. The material of the linkage structure 1133 can be a metal alloy to ensure sufficient strength and durability. Specifically, the pressurized air blowing mechanism 12 of this embodiment includes a valve 121 and an air compressor 122. The valve 121 is specifically a soft rubber tube. One end of the valve 121 is installed on the clamping seat 111 and sealed and connected to the syringe dispensing nozzle, and the other end is connected to the air compressor 122, which is powered on. The valve 121 and the syringe dispensing nozzle are sealed together using a rubber sealing ring. Specifically, a rubber sealing ring is installed on the outer wall of the valve 121, and the syringe dispensing nozzle achieves a sealed connection with the valve 121 through the rubber sealing ring, ensuring no air leakage during blowing. The air compressor 122 provides power for pressurized blowing, and air compressors of different power levels can be selected according to actual needs.

[0016] Specifically, the inner plug retrieval mechanism 13 in this embodiment includes a protective cover 131 and a retrieval box 132. The protective cover 131 is an annular structure with openings at both ends. The protective cover 131 is installed at the rear end of the clamping seat 111. One end of the protective cover 131 communicates with the opening of the syringe, and the other end of the protective cover 131 faces the retrieval box 132 below. The protective cover 131 is made of nylon fabric and is located about 30mm behind the line connecting the three syringe clamps. Its function is to cushion the inner plug that is pushed out of the syringe by air pressure, prevent the inner plug from splashing, and guide the inner plug to fall smoothly into the retrieval box 132. The retrieval box 132 is located behind the disassembly device 1 and directly below the protective cover 131. Its function is to collect the fallen inner plug.

[0017] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4Specifically, the scraping device 2 in this embodiment includes a sliding assembly 21, a telescopic umbrella frame 22, and a silicone sleeve 23. The sliding assembly 21 is disposed on one side of the clamping seat 111, facilitating the side drive of the telescopic umbrella frame 22 and the silicone sleeve 23 into the syringe. The silicone sleeve 23 is fitted over the telescopic umbrella frame 22 and can be retracted or expanded, with the shape change of the silicone sleeve 23 controlled by the extension and retraction of the telescopic umbrella frame 22. The sliding assembly 21 is used to drive the telescopic umbrella frame 22 and the silicone sleeve 23 to extend from the syringe opening to the dispensing nozzle, thereby scraping the inner wall of the syringe to further remove residual gel. Specifically, the sliding assembly 21 includes a first driving member 211, a slide rail 212, and a second driving member 213. Both the first driving member 211 and the second driving member 213 are driving cylinders. A slide rail 212 is located on one side of the clamping seat 111, providing a sliding track for the second driving member 213, and the slide rail 212 is parallel to the length direction of the syringe. The first driving member 211 is located at one end of the slide rail 212, providing power for the sliding of the second driving member 213. The second driving member 213 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 212 and moves along the slide rail 212 under the drive of the first driving member 211. The first driving member 211 is a linear motor, which can achieve precise linear motion control and has high positioning accuracy; in other embodiments, it can also be an electric push rod, which has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0018] Furthermore, the telescopic umbrella frame 22 includes a sleeve 221, a transmission rod 222, and at least two support rods 223. The sleeve 221 is fitted onto the transmission rod 222, which is movable within the sleeve 221. One end of the sleeve 221 is connected to the second driving member 213, and the other end is connected to the middle of the silicone sleeve 23. One end of the transmission rod 222 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 213, and the other end is hinged to both support rods 223. One end of each support rod 223 is hinged to the transmission rod 222, and the other end is connected to the silicone sleeve 23. The side wall of the sleeve 221 is provided with clearance grooves corresponding to the support rods 223, so that when the second driving member 213 drives the transmission rod 222 to move within the sleeve 221, the support rods 223 can rotate smoothly within the clearance grooves, thereby causing the silicone sleeve 23 to expand or retract. Specifically, when the first driving component 211 drives the second driving component 213 to slide along the slide rail 212, the second driving component 213 drives the telescopic umbrella frame 22 and the silicone sleeve 23 into a retracted state and inserts them into the syringe. At this time, the retracted silicone sleeve 23 has a small diameter and can easily pass through the syringe opening to enter the interior. When it reaches the deepest part of the syringe, near the dispensing nozzle, the second driving component 213 starts to drive the transmission rod 222 to move, causing the support rod 223 to rotate. The silicone sleeve 23 unfolds into a hemispherical shape and adheres to the inner wall of the syringe, and then the silicone sleeve 23 maintains its posture of adhering to the inner wall of the syringe. When the first driving component 211 drives the telescopic umbrella frame 22 and the silicone sleeve 23 to exit the syringe, during the exit process, the silicone sleeve 23 is in close contact with the inner wall of the syringe, which can achieve scraping of the inner wall of the syringe, scraping off the residual gel, further improving the cleanliness of the syringe and preparing it for subsequent reuse.

[0019] Specifically, the cleaning device 3 in this embodiment includes a water storage tank 31, a return tank 32, and a cleaning nozzle 33. A platform is provided on the return tank 32 for placing the syringes to be cleaned. One end of the cleaning nozzle 33 is connected to the water storage tank 31, and the other end can be inserted into the syringe. The cleaning nozzle 33 is mounted on the platform to spray cleaning agent into the syringe. The return tank 32 is used to collect cleaning waste liquid, preventing indiscriminate discharge and environmental pollution. The spray end of the cleaning nozzle 33 has a tapered constriction structure. This structure allows the cleaning agent to be sprayed more concentratedly into the syringe, increasing the spray pressure and impact force, improving the cleaning effect, and more effectively removing stubborn gel residue from the syringe. A pressure water pump is installed in the water storage tank 31, and the cleaning nozzle 33 is connected to the pressure water pump via a flexible hose. The pressure water pump can be a centrifugal pump, which has the characteristics of large flow rate and high head; or it can be a vortex pump, which can generate higher pressure. Its function is to provide sufficient pressure to the cleaning nozzle 33, enabling the cleaning agent to be powerfully sprayed into all parts of the syringe. After the syringe is placed on the stage, the cleaning nozzle 33 is inserted into the syringe, and the pressure water pump sprays the cleaning agent from the water tank 31 into the syringe through the cleaning nozzle 33 for further cleaning. The waste liquid after cleaning flows into the return tank 32, completing the cleaning and waste liquid collection process. This ensures a more thorough cleaning of the syringe, further improving its cleanliness and guaranteeing its reuse.

[0020] Specifically, the material handling device 4 in this embodiment includes a feeding platform 41, a robotic arm 42, and a receiving platform 43. The feeding platform 41 is used to place the syringes to be processed, providing a storage location for the syringes. The robotic arm 42 is located on one side of the feeding platform 41 and is surrounded by the disassembly device 1 and the cleaning device 3, providing flexible operation capabilities. The robotic arm 42 is used to grip the syringes on the feeding platform 41 and transfer them to the disassembly device 1 for inner plug recovery processing, and to transfer the syringes with recovered inner plugs to the cleaning device 3 for cleaning, realizing automatic transfer of syringes between different processing stages. The receiving platform 43 is used to collect the cleaned and recovered syringes, providing a storage location for the recovered syringes. Among them, the robotic arm 42 is a multi-joint robotic arm 42, which has high flexibility and precision, and can move and rotate freely in three-dimensional space, adapting to the gripping and transfer of syringes at different positions and angles. When the syringe needs to be processed, the robotic arm 42 picks up the syringe from the feeding table 41, moves it to the disassembly device 1 for inner plug recovery, and then transfers the syringe to the cleaning device 3 for cleaning. This automates the syringe recovery process, reduces manual operation, minimizes the impact of human factors on the recovery process, and improves recovery efficiency. The robotic arm 42 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the robotic arm 42 of the transfer device 4 picks up the syringe to be processed from the feeding table 41 and moves it to the disassembly device 1. The syringe is installed on the inclined top surface of the clamping seat 111 with the dispensing nozzle facing down. The syringe clamping mechanism 11 firmly clamps the syringe. The valve 121 of the pressurizing blowing mechanism 12 is sealed and connected to the syringe dispensing nozzle. The air compressor 122 provides power to blow air, and the air pressure blows the inner plug out from the opening end of the syringe. The protective cover 131 of the inner plug recovery mechanism 13 buffers the inner plug and guides it to fall into the recovery box 132. Then, the first driving member 211 of the sliding component 21 drives the second driving member 2. 13 slides along the slide rail 212, causing the retracted telescopic umbrella frame 22 and silicone sleeve 23 to extend into the syringe. After reaching the deepest part of the syringe, the second drive component 213 drives the transmission rod 222 to move, and the support rod 223 rotates to make the silicone sleeve 23 unfold and fit against the inner wall of the syringe. When withdrawing, the silicone sleeve 23 scrapes off the residual gel. Finally, the robot arm 42 moves the syringe to the cleaning device 3, the cleaning nozzle 33 is inserted into the syringe, the pressure pump in the water tank 31 provides pressure, and the cleaning agent is sprayed into the syringe through the cleaning nozzle 33 for cleaning. The waste liquid flows into the return tank 32, completing the recycling process of syringe plug collection, residual gel collection and tube wall cleaning.

[0021] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
