Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of rubber stopper cleaning equipment, and in particular relates to an integrated rubber stopper cleaning and drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Medical rubber stoppers are elastic seals that come into direct contact with pharmaceuticals. They are mainly used to seal injectable packaging containers (such as vials, infusion bottles, pre-filled syringes, etc.) and play core roles in pharmaceutical production, storage, and clinical use, including sealing, puncture, sterilization, and leak prevention.

[0003] Currently, rubber stoppers often need to be cleaned and dried after production. However, when the rubber stoppers are cleaned inside the rotating drum, they are very likely to collide with the drum structure, resulting in new debris. Small nicks in the rubber stoppers are not easily detected and can easily lead to a significant reduction in the quality of subsequent use.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an integrated rubber stopper cleaning and drying device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated rubber stopper cleaning and drying device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is an integrated rubber stopper cleaning and drying device, including a machine body and a top cover that can be raised and lowered at its upper end;

[0008] The machine body has a double-layered cylinder consisting of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder. Blades are installed on the inner side of the outer cylinder. Positioning frames are installed inside both ends of the machine body. Rotating blades are installed on the positioning frames through the central rotating part. A ring frame is fixed to the outer end of the rotating blades. The ring frame rotates synchronously with the outer cylinder.

[0009] The top cover is mounted with a crossbeam via a bidirectional electric telescopic mechanism at the bottom, and the lower end of the crossbeam is fixed with a clamping part for holding the outer cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the outer sides of the side plates at both ends of the outer cylinder are fixed with locking blocks that slide downward into the slide rails opened on the side of the positioning frame, and the side of the ring frame is provided with an opening groove for locking the locking blocks.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating frame extends from the inner side of the side plate and is rotatably mounted inside the protrusions on the outer sides of both ends of the inner cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the end of the rotating part has a support extending out, which is aligned with the hollow shaft seats extending from both ends of the inner cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, an electric telescopic device is installed inside the opening of the rotating part, and a plug connecting the support and the hollow shaft seat is fixed to the movable end of the electric telescopic device.

[0014] Preferably, both the inner and outer cylinders are cylindrical structures made of mesh.

[0015] Preferably, the inner cylinder is made of medical-grade silicone rubber.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model uses an inner and outer double-layer cylinder structure to place the blade between the two cylinders, which facilitates the contact of the soft inner cylinder with the rubber stopper during cleaning operations, thereby reducing the risk of the rubber stopper colliding with the cylinder and generating debris.

[0018] Furthermore, after the cleaning operation, the outer cylinder can be clamped by the clamping part and moved upward along with the top cover. After being moved out, the rubber plug accumulates in the bottom area of ​​the inner cylinder, which is convenient for retrieval and removal, and avoids the rubber plug from being scattered in the cleaning fluid, which would affect work efficiency.

[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0031] 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.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "top and bottom", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner" and "around" indicate the orientation or positional relationship only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model is an integrated rubber stopper cleaning and drying device, including a machine body 11 and a top cover 12 that is raised and lowered at its upper end, and an electric heating wire for drying is installed below the top cover 12.

[0034] The body 11 has a double-layered cylinder that can be moved up and down. The inner layer is a mesh inner cylinder 14 made of medical silicone rubber, and the outer layer is a mesh metal wire outer cylinder 15. An annular cavity is formed between the two cylinders. Blades 151 are installed on the inner side of the outer cylinder 15 to promote the flow of water in the inner cylinder 14 to clean the rubber stopper. Positioning frames 16 are installed inside both ends of the body 11, and a rotating shaft is connected to the center. Rotating blades 161 are installed on the positioning frames 16 through the central rotating part 17. The rotating part 17 is a shaft seat installed on the rotating end of the rotating motor. The outer ends of adjacent rotating blades 161 are fixedly connected to ring frames 162, which are used to drive the outer cylinder 15 to rotate synchronously.

[0035] The top cover 12 is driven to move up and down by a lifting mechanism installed above both ends of the body 11. The lifting mechanism can be a screw, a hydraulic lifting rod or an electric telescopic mechanism. A bidirectional electric telescopic mechanism is installed on the lower surface of the top cover 12. A downwardly extending crossbar 13 is installed on its movable end. A clamping part 131 for clamping the outer cylinder 15 is fixed on the inner side of the lower end of the crossbar 13. When the top cover 12 moves up and down, the clamping part 131 drives the inner cylinder 14 to move up and down through the outer cylinder 15.

[0036] Furthermore, the outer cylinder 15 has two sides 152 extending in both directions, forming a ring structure. A locking block 1521 is fixed on the outer side of the side plate 152. When the outer cylinder 15 moves up and down, it slides into and out of the slide rail 163 opened on the side of the positioning frame 16. The slide rail 163 passes downward through the side of the ring frame 162 to form an opening groove for the locking block 1521 to engage.

[0037] Furthermore, a rotating frame 1522 extends from the inner side of the side plate 152. The inner side of the rotating frame 1522 is a T-shaped ring mechanism, which is rotatably installed inside the protrusions 141 on the outer sides of both ends of the inner cylinder 14.

[0038] Furthermore, a cylindrical support 171 extends from the end of the rotating part 17, which is aligned with the hollow shaft seats extending from both ends of the inner cylinder 14.

[0039] The rotating part 17 has an opening at one end facing the hollow shaft seat, and an electric expansion joint 172 is installed through the opening. The movable end of the electric expansion joint 172 is fixed with a plug 1721 that connects the support 171 and the hollow shaft seat, forming a dynamic support for the inner cylinder 14 to rotate. Under the action of water flow, the inner cylinder 14 rotates.

[0040] It is understood that this utility model can protect the rubber stopper during cleaning, preventing the rubber stopper from colliding with the cleaning equipment and generating new debris, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the product after cleaning. Furthermore, the cleaned rubber stopper can be directly separated from the cleaning fluid, facilitating loading and unloading and the replacement of the cleaning fluid.

[0041] A specific application of the operation flow of this embodiment is as follows: First, a rubber plug is inserted into the upper part of the machine body 11 through the opening at the left end of the inner cylinder 14. Then, using the clamping effect of the adjacent clamping part 131 on the outer cylinder 15, the inner cylinder 14 is inserted into the machine body 11 when the top cover 12 is lowered. At the same time, the locking block 1521 slides into the interior of the rotor 161 to form a positioning. Then, the electric telescopic device 172 pushes out the plug 1721 so that it connects the support 171 and the protruding seats at both ends of the inner cylinder 14 to form dynamic support. Further, the rotation of the rotor 161 drives the ring frame 162 to rotate, using the ring frame 162 and the locking block 161 to form a dynamic support. The snap-fit ​​of block 1521 causes the outer cylinder 15 to rotate, which in turn causes the blade 151 to rotate, thereby forming a power source at both ends of the inner cylinder 14 and the outer ring area, so as to drive the cleaning fluid in the inner cylinder 14 to flow, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the rubber stopper. After cleaning, the above steps can be reversed to separate the rubber stopper from the cleaning fluid, and the rubber stopper can be placed on top of the machine body 11 for direct cleaning and removal. In addition, when it is necessary to dry the rubber stopper, the wastewater can be discharged after the rubber stopper is separated, the suspended rubber stopper can be drained, and after the wastewater is discharged, it can be placed inside the machine body 11 for drying.
