Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber stopper packaging technology, and more specifically to an isolator for rubber stopper packaging. Background Technology

[0002] As a key packaging component that comes into direct contact with or seals drug containers, the sterility of rubber stoppers directly determines drug quality and patient safety. Placing them in a sterile isolator is a crucial means of ensuring this core requirement. The isolator can completely isolate the stopper from the external environment through physical isolation, stably maintain internal cleanliness, and effectively block external contamination pathways such as airborne dust, operator contact, and equipment residues, ensuring that the rubber stopper remains sterile from pretreatment to use.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN215877976U, which discloses a sterile isolator, including a positive pressure chamber and a negative pressure chamber. The positive pressure chamber has a positive pressure operating chamber that provides a positive pressure environment for experimental operations and has a first operating port. The negative pressure chamber surrounds the positive pressure chamber and has a second operating port. The first and second operating ports face each other. Current rubber stopper sterilization and processing technology has certain limitations. After the rubber stoppers are placed in the sterilization box and the sealed door is closed, and after initial sterilization, the rubber stoppers need to be frequently removed for subsequent processes. This process usually requires operators to manually remove the rubber stoppers one by one multiple times. Especially when dealing with a large number of rubber stoppers, frequent manual operation can easily make operators feel tired, reduce work efficiency, and increase labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an isolator for dispensing rubber stoppers, so as to solve the problem that operators need to manually remove rubber stoppers one by one multiple times, especially when dealing with a large number of rubber stoppers. Frequent manual operation not only easily makes operators feel tired and reduces work efficiency, but also increases labor intensity.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an isolator for dispensing rubber stoppers, comprising an isolator body, wherein the isolator body includes a first transfer chamber, an isolation chamber, a glove interface, and a second transfer chamber, the first transfer chamber includes a transfer window and a transfer box, a support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the transfer box, and two parallel and symmetrically distributed slide rails are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame, a limiting plate is provided between the two slide rails, and a connecting plate is provided between the two slide rails located on the same side; At least four slides are provided between the two slide rails, and the tops of two adjacent slides are fixedly connected to the baffles. A crossbeam is provided between the two baffles. The top of the support frame is provided with a storage box for storing rubber plugs, and the storage box is open on one side. The tops of the other two adjacent slides are rotatably connected to one end of the storage box through bearing seats. The isolation chamber is provided with a collection box that cooperates with the storage box.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the limiting plate is vertically erected at the same end of the two slide rails. The height of the limiting plate is higher than that of the slide rails and lower than the side height of the storage box. When the slide table slides along the slide rails to the limit position, the slide table abuts against the limiting plate.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a straight plate for guiding the flow of rubber plugs is fixedly connected at the opening end of the storage box. The bottom end of the straight plate is flush with the bottom edge of the opening of the storage box, and the tilt direction of the straight plate is towards the isolation chamber side.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, baffles that cooperate with the storage box are fixedly connected at both ends of the straight plate, and a channel for guiding the rubber plug is formed between the two baffles and the straight plate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the upper surfaces of both slides are provided with rubber blocks for cushioning the storage box, and the top of the rubber blocks are provided with multiple grooves evenly distributed.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a rubber pad is provided at the bottom of the crossbeam, and the rubber pad is in contact with the storage box.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the baffle is vertically fixed to the top of the slide table, and the distance between the two baffles is adapted to the width of the storage box.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the storage box is provided with a pull bracket at one end near the opening to assist the storage box in pulling along the slide rail.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1.

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. This utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-6This utility model provides an isolator for dispensing rubber stoppers, including an isolator body 2. The isolator body 2 includes a first transfer chamber 1, an isolation chamber 201, a glove interface 202, and a second transfer chamber 203. The first transfer chamber 1 includes a transfer window 101 and a transfer box 102. The isolation chamber 201 is equipped with a clean airflow system, a cleaning and drying mechanism, safety and testing accessories, etc. The clean airflow system in the isolation chamber 201 can maintain the ISO5 cleanliness level inside the chamber and avoid airflow interference with the transfer of rubber stoppers. The cleaning and drying mechanism can achieve online cleaning and rapid drying without dead corners inside the chamber to eliminate residual contamination. The safety and testing accessories can monitor the environmental parameters inside the chamber in real time, verify the number of rubber stoppers, and detect appearance defects. The coordination of these three and other components can ensure the sterility, cleanliness, and product consistency of the rubber stopper dispensing. Both the first transfer chamber 1 and the second transfer chamber 203 are equipped with... Equipped with a sterilization module, sensing and monitoring components, and sealing components, it can perform secondary surface sterilization (such as ultraviolet or small VHP disinfection) on the transferred rubber stoppers, further reducing the risk of biological residues on the micro rubber stoppers. The edge of the glove interface 202 is equipped with a sealing groove and locking device to fix the flange edge of the sterile glove, making it convenient for operators to perform internal operations through gloves from outside the chamber. The transfer window 101 is a double-door interlocked mode, and is equipped with an electronic interlock mechanism inside. When the rubber stopper is sent in from the transfer window 101, the outer door is opened first to put in the storage box 7. After the outer door is closed, the interlock is unlocked, and the inner door can be opened. When the rubber stopper is transferred into the isolation chamber 201, the inner door is closed, and the outer door can be opened again. Structurally, it blocks the direct communication between the outside air and the sterile environment of the isolation chamber 201, avoiding the intrusion of bacteria and dust. The above are all existing technologies, and those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here. The bottom inner wall of the transfer box 102 is bolted with a support frame 4. The upper surface of the support frame 4 is bolted with two parallel and symmetrically distributed slide rails 5. A limiting plate 10 is provided between the two slide rails 5. A connecting plate 17 is provided between the two slide rails 5 on the same side. At least four slide tables 6 are provided between the two slide rails 5. The top of two adjacent slide tables 6 is bolted with a baffle 14. A crossbeam 13 is provided between the two baffles 14. The top of the support frame 4 is provided with a storage box 7 for storing rubber plugs. The storage box 7 is open on one side. The tops of the other two adjacent slide tables 6 are rotatably connected to one end of the storage box 7 through bearing seats. The isolation chamber 201 is provided with a collection box 3 that cooperates with the storage box 7. The end of the storage box 7 near the opening is provided with a pull bracket 11 to assist the storage box 7 in pulling along the slide rail 5. First, open the outer door of the transfer window 101. After cleaning, drying, and other pre-treatment, the rubber stoppers are placed in batches into the storage box 7. Then, the outer doors and windows are quickly closed. The operator opens the inner doors and windows through the glove interface 202 and pulls the pull bracket 11 on the storage box 7 to move the storage box 7 to a position close to the inner doors and windows using the two slide rails 5. When the slide table 6 slides to the limit position along the slide rail 5, the slide table 6 abuts against the limit plate 10. The limit plate 10 is vertically installed at the same end of the two slide rails 5. The height of the limit plate 10 is higher than the slide rail 5 and lower than the side height of the storage box 7. The setting of the limit plate 10 can accurately control the sliding range of the slide table 6. When the slide table 6 slides to the point of abutting against the limit plate 10, it can no longer continue to move in a straight line along the slide rail 5. At this time, if the pull bracket 11 is pulled again, the storage box 7 will rotate under the action of the bearing seat, realizing the operation of pouring the rubber stoppers in the storage box 7 into the collection box 3 at once. The baffle 14 is vertically fixed to the top of the slide table 6. The distance between the two baffles 14 is adapted to the width of the storage box 7. The two baffles 14 provide guidance for the rotation of the storage box 7. The two baffles 14 are located on both sides of the storage box 7 during rotation. During the rotation of the storage box 7, they can limit and guide its rotation trajectory, preventing the storage box 7 from deviating during rotation. Wear-resistant pads are provided on both sides of the storage box 7. The wear-resistant pads are made of fluororubber and can prevent the storage box 7 from having hard friction with the two baffles 14. This will not damage the storage box 7, but it can also ensure that the storage box 7 can accurately pour the internal rubber plug into the collection box 3. When the storage box 7 rotates to contact the crossbeam 13, the bottom of the crossbeam 13 is provided with a rubber pad 12, and the rubber pad 12 contacts the storage box 7. The crossbeam 13 also restricts the rotation angle of the storage box 7. The rubber pad 12 at the bottom of the crossbeam 13 uses its soft properties to play a good buffering role when the storage box 7 rotates and contacts it, so as to avoid damage caused by hard collision between the storage box 7 and the crossbeam 13.

[0025] Specifically, a straight plate 9 for guiding the rubber stopper is bolted to the open end of the storage box 7. The bottom end of the straight plate 9 is flush with the bottom edge of the opening of the storage box 7, and the inclined direction of the straight plate 9 faces the isolation chamber 201. The straight plate 9 ensures that when the rubber stopper is poured into the collection box 3, and when the rubber stopper just enters the storage box 7, the inclination of the straight plate 9 ensures that the rubber stopper will not fall out when the storage box 7 is moved. The number of rubber stoppers piled up does not exceed the highest point of the straight plate 9 (those skilled in the art can set the size of the straight plate 9 according to the actual situation). The rubber stoppers slide smoothly down along the inclined direction of the straight plate 9, avoiding the rubber stopper from scattering or getting stuck during the pouring process, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of rubber stopper transfer.

[0026] To prevent the rubber stopper from sliding off both sides of the straight plate 9 when it is poured out, in this embodiment (e.g.) Figure 4 As shown, baffles 8, which cooperate with storage boxes 7, are fixed at both ends of the straight plate 9 by bolts. The two baffles 8 and the straight plate 9 form a channel for guiding the rubber plug. The two baffles 8 not only reinforce the straight plate 9, but also ensure that the rubber plug is confined within the specific channel when it slides down the straight plate 9, preventing the rubber plug from deviating from the predetermined path during the sliding process. During the process of the rubber plug being poured from the storage box 7 into the collection box 3, the guide channel formed by the baffles 8 and the straight plate 9 allows the rubber plug to fall accurately into the collection box 3 in a predetermined direction and speed, further improving the stability and reliability of the rubber plug transfer.

[0027] In this embodiment (e.g.) Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the upper surfaces of the two sliding tables 6 are provided with rubber blocks 15 for cushioning the storage box 7, and the top of the rubber blocks 15 has multiple grooves 16 evenly distributed. After the storage box 7 has finished the rubber stopper pouring action, the storage box 7 will be slowly lowered by the operator. At this time, the bottom of the storage box 7 will contact the rubber blocks 15. The rubber blocks 15, with their good elastic potential energy, can effectively cushion the impact force generated when the storage box 7 is lowered, avoiding damage to the storage box 7 due to excessive impact force, and also reducing the vibration impact on the overall storage box 7. The multiple grooves 16 evenly distributed on the top of the rubber blocks 15 further increase the friction between the rubber blocks 15 and the bottom of the storage box 7, making the storage box 7 more stable when placed, and preventing it from shaking randomly, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the entire rubber stopper transfer process.

[0028] The use of this utility model involves the following steps: S1: First, open the outer door of the transfer window 101 and put the pre-treated rubber stoppers (after cleaning and drying) into the storage box 7. Then, quickly close the outer door and use the transfer window 101 to perform secondary surface sterilization on the rubber stoppers. S2: Then, the operator opens the internal door and window through the glove interface 202, pulls the pull bracket 11 on the storage box 7, and uses the two slide rails 5 to pull the storage box 7 to a position close to the internal door and window. S3: When the slide table 6 slides to contact the limit plate 10, continue to pull the pull bracket 11, and the storage box 7 will rotate under the action of the bearing seat, pouring the rubber plug in the storage box 7 into the collection box 3 in one go; S4: After the rubber stopper enters the collection box 3, the rubber stopper is sterilized again through the isolation chamber 201 to ensure that the cleanliness of the rubber stopper meets the production requirements. Then, the storage box 7 is placed in contact with the rubber block 15, and the inner door and window are closed. At this time, the rubber stopper is completely in a clean internal environment and can be used for subsequent bottling assembly. S5: The assembled rubber plugs are then placed in the second transfer chamber 203 through the glove interface 202 for further processing.
