Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of ampoule filling technology, and more specifically to a sterile ampoule product filling device. Background Technology
[0002] Ampoules are small, sealed containers used to hold liquid medications. They are typically made of glass or plastic and are widely used in medical, scientific research, and other fields. Neutral borosilicate glass, low-borosilicate glass, or soda-lime glass are used, offering high chemical stability and transparency, making them suitable for containing injectables, vaccines, etc. Neutral borosilicate glass, due to its strong corrosion resistance, is the preferred choice for high-end pharmaceuticals. The neck of the ampoule features an easy-break design to ensure a clean cut when opened, reducing glass shard contamination. The color-ring easy-break ampoules utilize stress generated by glass rings with different coefficients of thermal expansion, allowing for easy separation with a gentle bend.
[0003] Existing ampoules are typically manufactured with an open shape during filling, allowing the filling head to be directly inserted into the ampoule for filling. While this method is effective, the inside of the ampoule is easily contaminated by the external environment during long-term storage or transportation. Consequently, the therapeutic effect of the medication cannot be effectively guaranteed after filling.
[0004] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN202223064290.5 discloses a grouting and ventilation mechanism and its ampoule filling and sealing device; it includes a liftable injection syringe and a grouting tube, the injection syringe being connected to an air injection tube and a grout delivery tube connected to the grouting tube via a sealing plug, the air injection tube being shorter than the grout delivery tube. The device includes a grouting platform and a sealing platform, the grouting platform having a positioning groove, and the sealing platform having a filling station, a sealing station, and a transfer mechanism;
[0005] The device in the aforementioned patent uses inert gas to pressurize the slurry during ampoule filling. However, if the inert gas inside the ampoule is not effectively expelled before sealing, it will remain inside and mix with the medication for an extended period, potentially affecting the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, the patent only heats the ampoule during sealing, indicating that it uses an open ampoule. This makes the ampoule susceptible to external environmental influences during transport, potentially contaminating the medication inside. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterile ampoule filling device. In this device, ampoules are sequentially transferred to a placement seat on a rotating disk via a feeding device. The rotation of the rotating disk facilitates the sequential transfer and filling of the ampoules. Before filling, the top of the ampoule is melted by a first sintering process, which effectively facilitates the insertion of the filling head into the ampoule. During filling, the metering pump and delivery pipe effectively control the filling rate to avoid waste. After filling, the ampoule is sintered a second time by a second sintering structure. The top of the ampoule is then pulled out and sealed by two clamps at the bottom of a second electric push cylinder. This invention addresses the problems mentioned in the background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A sterile ampoule filling device includes a workbench; a protective cover is fixedly installed on the workbench; a rotating disk is provided inside the protective cover; the rotating disk is fixedly installed to a reducer at the bottom of the top plate of the workbench via a rotating shaft; and multiple placement seats are provided on the rotating disk.
[0009] A feeding pipe is provided on one side of the edge of the rotating disk; the feeding pipe is located on the top of the placement base, and the feeding pipe is installed in conjunction with the discharge port of the vibrating feeding disk through a pipe.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a first calcination structure is provided between the support rod installed on the feeding pipe and the vibrating feeding plate; the first calcination structure is at the same height as the top of the ampoule on the placement seat; the first calcination structure is fixedly installed on the workbench by a support seat.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a filling barrel is provided on the side of the vibrating feeding plate away from the feeding pipe; the bottom of the filling barrel is fixedly installed with the metering pump; the metering pump is fixedly installed with the filling head through the conveying pipe; the filling head is fixedly installed on the horizontal plate of the push rod of the third electric pusher; the third electric pusher is fixedly installed on the vertical rod on one side.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, two symmetrical support rods are provided on the side of the rotary disk away from the feed pipe; a support plate is fixedly installed on the support rod; and a first electric push cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate through a mounting seat.
[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the push rod of the first electric push cylinder is fixedly installed with the C-shaped plate; the inner wall of the C-shaped plate is slidably installed with the slide rail fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate by a slider;
[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a second electric push cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the C-shaped plate; a clamping arm is installed on the push rod of the second electric push cylinder.
[0015] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a second calcination structure is provided between the support rod and the filling head; the second calcination structure is fixedly installed on the workbench through a support base;
[0016] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a feeding component is installed between the support rod and the feeding tube; one end of the feeding component is located at the bottom of the rotating disk, and the other end extends to the outside of the protective cover.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] In this invention, a large number of ampoules are placed in a vibrating feeding tray, and the ampoules are transported to the feeding tube by vibration. As the reducer drives the placement seat on the rotating disk to move, the ampoules in the feeding tube fall into the placement seat. During the rotation of the rotating disk, the ampoules on the placement seat are transferred to one end of the first burning structure. The first burning structure heats and melts the top of the ampoule, so that an opening is made in the top of the ampoule to facilitate the insertion of the filling head into the ampoule.
[0019] In this invention, after the opening is melted, the rotating disc rotates the ampoule with the opening completed on the placement seat to the bottom of the filling head. The metering pump extracts the contents of the filling tank, and the extracted medicine is then transferred to the filling head through the delivery pipe. The third electric pusher on the support rod drives the filling head to move up and down, so that the bottom of the filling head is inserted into the ampoule, ensuring the filling quality and avoiding leakage during filling.
[0020] In this invention, after filling, the rotating disc transfers the filled ampoules to one side of the second ignition structure. The second ignition structure performs secondary heating and melting of the ampoules. After secondary melting, the first electric pusher cylinder drives the C-shaped plate to move laterally along the slide rail, moving the two clamping plates at the bottom of the second electric pusher cylinder to both sides of the top of the ampoule. The clamping plates then lift the part of the ampoule that has been fused, effectively achieving the wire-drawing and sealing of the ampoule, thus effectively ensuring the airtightness of the ampoule. After the ampoule is sealed, the rotating disc transfers it to the unloading assembly. A robotic arm transfers the sealed ampoule to the unloading assembly, which then transfers the filled ampoule to the next process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] 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.

[0034] A feeding pipe 10 is provided on one side of the edge of the rotating disk 8; the feeding pipe 10 is located on the top of the placement seat 9, and the feeding pipe 10 is installed in conjunction with the discharge port of the vibrating feeding disk 4 through a pipe.
[0035] A first calcination structure 15 is provided between the support rod installed on the feeding pipe 10 and the vibrating feeding plate 4; the first calcination structure 15 is at the same height as the top of the ampoule on the placement seat 9; the first calcination structure 15 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1 by the support seat 16.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, a large number of ampoules are placed in the vibrating feeding plate 4, and the ampoules are transferred to the feeding pipe 10 by vibration. As the reducer drives the placement seat 9 on the rotating plate 8 to move, the ampoules in the feeding pipe 10 fall into the placement seat 9.
[0037] In this embodiment, a filling barrel 5 is provided on the side of the vibrating feeding plate 4 away from the feeding pipe 10; the bottom of the filling barrel 5 is fixedly installed with the metering pump 6; the metering pump 6 is fixedly installed with the filling head 21 through the conveying pipe 7; the filling head 21 is fixedly installed on the horizontal plate of the push rod of the third electric push cylinder 22; the third electric push cylinder 22 is fixedly installed on the vertical rod on one side.
[0038] In this embodiment, two symmetrical support rods 11 are provided on the side of the rotary disk 8 away from the feed pipe 10; a support plate 14 is fixedly installed on the support rod 11; and a first electric push cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 14 through a mounting seat 13.
[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, during the rotation of the rotating disk 8, the ampoule on the placement seat 9 is transferred to one end of the first burning structure 15. The top of the ampoule is heated and melted by the first burning structure 15, so that an opening is made on the top of the ampoule to facilitate the insertion of the filling head 21 into the ampoule.
[0040] Furthermore, the push rod of the first electric push cylinder 12 is fixedly installed with the C-shaped plate 18; the inner wall of the C-shaped plate 18 is slidably installed with the slide rail 19 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 14 via a slider.
[0041] In this embodiment, a second electric push cylinder 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the C-shaped plate 18; a clamping arm is fitted on the push rod of the second electric push cylinder 20.
[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, after melting the opening, the rotating disk 8 rotates the ampoule with the opening completed on the placement seat 9 to the bottom of the filling head 21. The metering pump 6 extracts the contents of the filling tank 5, and the extracted medicine is transferred to the filling head 21 through the delivery pipe 7. The third electric push cylinder 22 on the support rod drives the filling head 21 to move up and down, so that the bottom of the filling head 21 is inserted into the ampoule, ensuring the filling quality and avoiding leakage during filling.
[0043] In this embodiment, a second calcination structure 17 is provided between the support rod 11 and the filling head 21; the second calcination structure 17 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1 via a support base 16.
[0044] A feeding assembly 3 is installed between the support rod 11 and the feeding pipe 10; one end of the feeding assembly 3 is located at the bottom of the rotating disk 8, and the other end extends to the outside of the protective cover 2.
[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, after filling, the rotating disk 8 is used to transfer the filled ampoule to one side of the second burning structure 17. The second burning structure 17 is used to heat and melt the ampoule again. After the second melting is completed, the first electric push cylinder 12 drives the C-shaped plate 18 to move laterally along the slide rail 19, so that the two clamps at the bottom of the second electric push cylinder 20 are moved to both sides of the top of the ampoule. Then, by clamping the clamps, the part of the ampoule that has been melted in the second melting is lifted, effectively realizing the ampoule stringing and sealing, thereby effectively ensuring the sealing of the ampoule. After the ampoule is sealed, the rotating disk 8 is used to transfer it to one side of the feeding component 3. The robotic arm transfers the sealed ampoule to the feeding component 3, and the feeding component 3 transfers the filled ampoule to the next process.
[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, a large number of ampoules are placed in the vibrating feeding plate 4, and the ampoules are transferred to the feeding pipe 10 by vibration. As the reducer drives the placement seat 9 on the rotating plate 8 to move, the ampoules in the feeding pipe 10 fall into the placement seat 9.
[0047] During the rotation of the rotating disk 8, the ampoule on the placement seat 9 is transferred to one end of the first burning structure 15. The top of the ampoule is heated and melted by the first burning structure 15, so that an opening is made on the top of the ampoule to facilitate the insertion of the filling head 21 into the ampoule.
[0048] After the opening is melted, the rotating disk 8 rotates the ampoule with the opening completed on the placement seat 9 to the bottom of the filling head 21. The metering pump 6 extracts the contents of the filling tank 5 and then transfers the extracted medicine to the filling head 21 through the delivery pipe 7. The third electric push cylinder 22 on the support rod drives the filling head 21 to move up and down, so that the bottom of the filling head 21 is inserted into the ampoule, ensuring the filling quality and avoiding leakage during filling.
[0049] After filling, the rotating disk 8 transfers the filled ampoules to one side of the second ignition structure 17. The second ignition structure 17 performs secondary heating and melting of the ampoules. After secondary melting, the first electric push cylinder 12 drives the C-shaped plate 18 to move laterally along the slide rail 19, moving the two clamps at the bottom of the second electric push cylinder 20 to both sides of the top of the ampoule. The clamps then lift the part of the ampoule that has been fused, effectively achieving the wire-drawing and sealing of the ampoule, thus ensuring the airtightness of the ampoule. After the ampoule is sealed, the rotating disk 8 transfers it to one side of the unloading assembly 3. The robotic arm transfers the sealed ampoule to the unloading assembly 3, and the unloading assembly 3 transfers the filled ampoule to the next process.
