DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0070] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

In the present application, the orientation words such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right" generally refer to the upper, lower, left and right of the device in the actual use or working state, and specifically refer to the direction of the drawing surface in the drawings.
[0071] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only for descriptive purposes and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or an indicated number of technical features. Thus, features defined with "first", "second", etc. can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.
[0072] The present application provides a lyophilized material transfer mechanism, a double-cavity pre-filled syringe production line, a production method, a control device and a storage medium, which are described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not limited as the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis, and the parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to the related description of other embodiments.
[0073] Please refer to FIG. 1, the embodiment of the present application provides a lyophilized material transfer mechanism 10, which comprises a first feeding conveying assembly 100, a second feeding conveying assembly 200 and a taking and placing assembly 300.
[0074] The first feeding conveying assembly 100 is used for feeding the medical container 60, for example, the medical container 60 after being flipped by the first flipping mechanism 45 is conveyed by the first feeding conveying assembly 100 to one side of the taking and placing assembly 300. The related content of the first flipping mechanism 45 will be described later. Of course, it can be understood that in the case where the first flipping mechanism 45 is not provided, the first feeding conveying assembly 100 can convey the medical container 60 from the upstream to one side of the taking and placing assembly 300. The first feeding conveying assembly 100 can comprise a conveying line and the like.
[0075] The second feeding conveying assembly 200 is used for feeding the lyophilized material, which can comprise a conveying line and the like. For example, the lyophilized material from the lyophilized material supply unit 30 is conveyed to one side of the taking and placing assembly 300. The related content of the lyophilized material supply unit 30 will be described later.
[0076] Here, for example, the conveying direction of the first feeding conveying assembly 100 and the conveying direction of the second feeding conveying assembly 200 are parallel, and in the illustrated state of FIG. 1, the conveying directions of both are from left to right. The first feeding conveying assembly 100 and the second feeding conveying assembly 200 are respectively located on both sides of the taking and placing assembly 300, so as to save space and facilitate the taking and placing assembly 300 to fill the lyophilized material into the medical container 60. Of course, the example of the present embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation, and in other embodiments, the first feeding conveying assembly 100 and the second feeding conveying assembly 200 can also be located at other positions, for example, on the same side of the taking and placing assembly 300, or on the adjacent sides of the taking and placing assembly 300, etc.
[0077] Here, please refer to FIG. 2, the second feeding conveying assembly 200 comprises a first screw 230 and a second screw 240 coaxially arranged, please refer to FIG. 3, the second feeding conveying assembly 200 further comprises a first driving mechanism 210 and a second driving mechanism 220. The first driving mechanism 210 is drivingly connected to the first screw 230, the second driving mechanism 220 is drivingly connected to the second screw 240, the first screw 230 and the second screw 240 are adjacently arranged along the conveying direction of the second feeding conveying assembly 200, so as to realize the function of spiral conveying. The first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 can be arranged on a fixed frame 330. Here, exemplarily, a transfer conveying line can also be arranged on the upstream side of the first screw 230, so as to supply the first screw 230 with materials.
[0078] Specifically, taking the first screw 230 as an example, the adjacent two blades of the first screw 230 form a containing position for containing the freeze-dried materials, under the driving of the first driving mechanism 210, the first screw 230 rotates a set angle and makes the freeze-dried materials move forward by one stroke, thereby realizing the spiral conveying of the freeze-dried materials. Similarly, the adjacent two blades of the second screw 240 also form a containing position for containing the freeze-dried materials, under the driving of the second driving mechanism 220, the second screw 240 rotates a set angle and makes the freeze-dried materials move forward by one stroke, thereby realizing the spiral conveying of the freeze-dried materials. In fact, the essence is to split a spiral conveying rod into the first screw 230 and the second screw 240 adjacently arranged.
[0079] Therefore, under the condition that the first screw 230 and the second screw 240 rotate synchronously, the freeze-dried materials can be continuously conveyed forward. In some cases, if the rotation number of the first screw 230 and the second screw 240 is adjusted, so that the rotation number of the second screw 240 is greater than that of the first screw 230, differential conveying can be realized, so as to cooperate with the subsequent taking and placing assembly 300 to move the freeze-dried materials.
[0080] For example, the rotation frequency of the second screw 240 is set to be twice that of the first screw 230, at this time, the first screw 230 rotates one circle to make a portion of freeze-dried materials move forward by one stroke and be conveyed to the second screw 240, while for the second screw 240, it rotates two circles to make the previous portion of freeze-dried materials at the original position of the portion of freeze-dried materials move forward by two strokes, thereby forming an empty containing position between the previous portion of freeze-dried materials and the portion of freeze-dried materials.
[0081] In the present embodiment, the second screw 240 of the second feeding conveying assembly 200 includes two feeding positions, which can be any two accommodation positions of the second screw 240 for accommodating the freeze-dried materials. For example, they can be two accommodation positions for accommodating the freeze-dried materials formed between the three blades farthest from one end of the second screw 240.
[0082] Please see FIG. 4, the present embodiment defines the two feeding positions as a first feeding position 241 and a second feeding position 242, the first feeding position 241 is located downstream of the second feeding position 242, that is, the first feeding position 241 is located on the side of the second feeding position 242 away from the first screw 230. Thus, by controlling the number of rotations of the second screw 240 and the first screw 230, the second screw 240 can have four feeding states, namely a first feeding state, a second feeding state, a third feeding state, and a fourth feeding state.
[0083] In the first feeding state, the first feeding position 241 and the second feeding position 242 both have freeze-dried materials. For example, when feeding two adjacent freeze-dried materials, the number of rotations of the second screw 240 and the first screw 230 can be made consistent.
[0084] Please see FIG. 5, in the second feeding state, the first feeding position 241 does not have freeze-dried materials, and the second feeding position 242 has freeze-dried materials. For example, before feeding a freeze-dried material to the second screw 240, the second screw 240 is made to rotate one more revolution than the first screw 230.
[0085] Please see FIG. 6, in the third feeding state, the first feeding position 241 has freeze-dried materials, and the second feeding position 242 does not have freeze-dried materials. For example, after feeding a freeze-dried material to the second screw 240, the second screw 240 is made to rotate one more revolution than the first screw 230.
[0086] Please see FIG. 7, in the fourth feeding state, the first feeding position 241 and the second feeding position 242 both do not have freeze-dried materials. For example, the second screw 240 can be made to rotate one revolution, while the first screw 230 does not rotate.
[0087] It can be understood that the present embodiment is described by taking an example of the second screw 240 including two feeding positions, but the second screw 240 itself can have more accommodation positions for accommodating freeze-dried materials. In addition, in other embodiments, the second screw 240 can also have other numbers of feeding positions, such as three, four, five, etc. Moreover, in other embodiments, the second screw 240 can also not have a fourth feeding state, etc. The examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitations.
[0088] In the embodiment, referring to FIG. 1 again, the taking and placing assembly 300 comprises at least one set of taking and placing units, and each set of taking and placing units comprises at least one taking and placing piece 310. For example, the taking and placing assembly 300 has four sets of taking and placing units, i.e., a first set of taking and placing units A, a second set of taking and placing units B, a third set of taking and placing units C, and a fourth set of taking and placing units D, and the four sets of taking and placing units are arranged uniformly along the circumferential direction, i.e., the included angle between two adjacent sets of taking and placing units is substantially a right angle.
[0089] Here, the position and the number of the taking and placing pieces 310 in each set of taking and placing units correspond to the feeding positions of the second screw 240. For example, the number of the taking and placing pieces 310 in each set of taking and placing units is also two, and corresponds to the positions of the two feeding positions of the second screw 240, which is also described below with the case that the second screw 240 has two feeding positions. That is, the two taking and placing pieces 310 are arranged in sequence along the arrangement direction of the feeding positions, and can be used to take and place the freeze-dried materials at the two feeding positions at the same time. It can be understood that when the number of the feeding positions is three, four, five, etc., the number of the taking and placing pieces 310 in each set of taking and placing units is correspondingly three, four, five, etc.
[0090] Referring to FIG. 8, the taking and placing assembly 300 further comprises a rotating driving piece 321 which is drivingly connected to the taking and placing units, so as to drive the taking and placing pieces 310 of the taking and placing units to rotate. The rotating driving assembly can be a motor, etc., which can be drivingly connected to the taking and placing assembly 300 through a reduction box, a bevel gear transmission mechanism, etc. Thus, the taking and placing assembly 300 can be driven to rotate by the rotating driving piece 321. It can be understood that in FIGS. 2 and 8, the first feeding and conveying assembly 100 is not shown in order to facilitate the observation of the relative position relationship between the taking and placing pieces 310 and the medicinal containers 60.
[0091] Here, the taking and placing assembly 300 has four stations, i.e., a first station, a second station, a third station, and a fourth station. When the taking and placing assembly 300 is driven to rotate by the rotating driving piece 321, each set of taking and placing units can be switched among the four stations. For example, the first station, the second station, the third station, and the fourth station are arranged uniformly in sequence along the circumferential direction, i.e., the included angle between two adjacent stations is substantially 90 degrees. Of course, in other embodiments, the arrangement positions of the four stations can be different according to actual requirements, and the present embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation thereto.
[0092] Here, the movement process of each set of taking and placing units is the same, and the movement process of one set of taking and placing units is exemplarily described below.
[0093] At the first station, the taking and placing elements 310 of the set of taking and placing units correspond to the feeding position of the second screw 240, and the taking and placing elements 310 can take the freeze-dried material at the feeding position. For example, the taking and placing elements 310 are vacuum suction elements that take the freeze-dried material at the feeding position by vacuum suction. For example, the position of the first set of taking and placing units A in FIG. 1 is the position of the first station.
[0094] At the second station, the second detection mechanism 500 is arranged to detect whether the taking and placing elements 310 have taken the freeze-dried material. For example, the second detection mechanism 500 is a visual detection mechanism such as a camera, and of course, in other embodiments, it can also be other infrared detection mechanisms, and the present embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation. In addition, for example, the set of taking and placing units can be rotated by about 90 degrees from the previous state to rotate from the first station to the second station. For another example, the position of the second set of taking and placing units B in FIG. 1 is the position of the second station.
[0095] At the third station, the set of taking and placing units moves to a position corresponding to the first feeding conveying assembly 100 and corresponding to the position of the medical containers 60 on the first feeding conveying assembly 100, for example, to the upper side of the first feeding conveying assembly 100. The arrangement of the medical containers 60 on the first feeding conveying assembly 100, the arrangement of the feeding position of the second feeding conveying assembly 200, and the arrangement of the taking and placing elements 310 in each set of taking and placing units correspond to each other. Thus, when rotated to the third station, the taking and placing elements 310 of the set of taking and placing units can place the freeze-dried material into the corresponding medical containers 60. In addition, for example, the set of taking and placing units can be rotated by about 90 degrees from the previous state to rotate from the second station to the third station. For another example, the position of the third set of taking and placing units C in FIG. 1 is the position of the third station.
[0096] At the fourth station, which is a cleaning station. For example, the position of the fourth set of taking and placing units D in FIG. 1 is the position of the fourth station. At this time, since the particles of the freeze-dried material can fall off, the taking and placing assembly 300 can be attached with a part of the particles of the freeze-dried material, thereby causing the taking and placing assembly 300 to be contaminated and possibly causing the particles of the freeze-dried material to be attached to the subsequent freeze-dried material during subsequent use, thereby affecting the quality of the subsequent freeze-dried material. Especially when the taking and placing elements 310 are vacuum suction elements, the particles of the freeze-dried material can continue to block the air path of the vacuum suction.
[0097] To this end, at the fourth station, the set of pick-and-place units will be cleaned. For example, when the pick-and-place piece 310 is a vacuum suction accessory, the air path is cleaned by controlling the pick-and-place piece 310 to spray air outward. Exemplarily, a collection container can also be provided at the fourth station, and the pick-and-place pieces 310 of the set of pick-and-place units can be moved to a position corresponding to the collection container and sprayed to spray the particles of the freeze-dried material and the like into the collection container. Of course, in other embodiments, the cleaning station can also be provided with other structures and other ways to clean, such as a brush that can reciprocate to clean the pick-and-place piece 310, a high-pressure spray head and a drying device to clean by high-pressure liquid and then dry, and the like. The examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitations on the present application.
[0098] It can be understood that four sets of pick-and-place units are provided and four stations are provided, and in actual work, a set of pick-and-place units is working at each station, thereby ensuring the continuity of the work of the pick-and-place assembly 300 and improving the work efficiency. However, in other embodiments, the number of pick-and-place units and stations can not correspond, such as only one set, two sets or other number of sets of pick-and-place units, and the like. In addition, the above is exemplarily described by providing four stations, and in other embodiments, only the first station and the third station can be provided, or the fourth station is not provided, and the like. The examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitations on the present application.
[0099] It can be understood that the present embodiment is exemplarily described by providing the rotary driving piece 321, but in other embodiments, according to actual needs, the rotary driving piece 321 can be replaced by other linear displacement driving piece, curve displacement driving piece or other driving piece 320, as long as the driving piece 320 can drive the pick-and-place piece 310 of the pick-and-place unit to move between the first feeding conveying assembly 100 and the second feeding conveying assembly 200 to feed the freeze-dried material to the pharmaceutical container 60. The examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitations on the present application. In addition, the above embodiment is exemplarily described by driving each set of pick-and-place units by the driving piece 320, and in other embodiments, the driving piece 320 can drive each pick-and-place piece 310. The examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitations on the present application.
[0100] In addition, referring to FIG. 8 again, the driving piece 320 of the freeze-dried material moving and picking mechanism 10 can further include a lifting driving piece 322 connected to the pick-and-place unit for driving the pick-and-place piece 310 of the pick-and-place unit to lift.
[0101] Exemplarily, the connecting member 340 can be provided, and the taking and placing assembly 300 is arranged on the connecting member 340. The connecting member 340 can be an integral structure or a structure formed by connecting a plurality of connecting blocks. The lifting driving member 322 can be a motor or a telescopic cylinder, etc. For example, when the lifting driving member 322 is a motor, it is sequentially connected to a speed reducer and a lead screw to transmit power to the connecting member 340, so as to drive the connecting member 340 and the taking and placing assembly 300 on the connecting member 340 to ascend and descend in the vertical direction. For another example, when the lifting driving member 322 is a telescopic cylinder, it is directly or indirectly connected to the connecting member 340, so as to drive the connecting member 340 and the taking and placing assembly 300 on the connecting member 340 to ascend and descend in the vertical direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the lifting driving member 322 can also be of other structures, and the lifting driving member 322 can also be directly or indirectly connected to the taking and placing assembly 300 through other manners, as long as it can drive the taking and placing assembly 300 to ascend and descend. For example, the lifting driving member 322 can include a telescopic cylinder arranged corresponding to each taking and placing member 310 or each group of taking and placing units. The examples in the present embodiment do not constitute improper limitation thereto.
[0102] Thus, the lifting driving member 322 can drive the taking and placing member 310 to ascend and descend. For example, when the taking and placing member 310 is located at the first station, the taking and placing member 310 is driven and moved downward to obtain the freeze-dried material, and then is moved upward to reset. For another example, when the taking and placing member 310 is located at the third station, the taking and placing member 310 is driven and moved downward to place the freeze-dried material, and then is moved upward to reset. Of course, when there is no need to ascend and descend, the lifting driving member 322 can also not be provided. The examples in the present embodiment do not constitute improper limitation thereto.
[0103] In addition, in the second station or the fourth station, the taking and placing member 310 can also be moved to the required corresponding position through lifting, such as the detection position of the second station or the cleaning position of the fourth station. Of course, in other embodiments, the detection position of the second station or the cleaning position of the fourth station can also be arranged at the position before descending. The examples in the present embodiment do not constitute improper limitation thereto.
[0104] Here, refer to FIG. 8 for example, the pick-and-place assembly 300 has a central shaft 350, the pick-and-place unit is connected to the central shaft 350, and the central shaft 350 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 340 and in transmission connection with the rotary drive 321. The lifting drive 322 is arranged on a fixed frame 330, and the lifting drive 322 is directly or indirectly connected to the pick-and-place unit, for example, the lifting drive 322 is connected to the connecting member 340. When the lifting drive 322 drives the connecting member 340 to lift, the rotary drive 321 and the pick-and-place unit are also lifted. Here, the first drive mechanism 210 and the second drive mechanism 220 described above can also be arranged on the fixed frame 330. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first drive mechanism 210, the second drive mechanism 220, and the lifting drive 322 can also be arranged on different fixed frames 330, respectively, and the present embodiment does not unduly limit them.
[0105] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotary drive 321 can be connected to the connecting member 340 to drive the connecting member 340 to rotate as a whole, and the lifting drive 322 can be arranged on the connecting member 340, and the pick-and-place assembly 300 is in transmission connection with the lifting drive 322 and is liftably connected to the connecting member 340, which can also achieve similar technical effects, and the examples in the present embodiment do not unduly limit them.
[0106] Through the cooperation of the rotary drive 321 and the lifting drive 322, a compact structure design is achieved, which helps to reduce the occupied space of the overall structure and improve the working efficiency. Especially the arrangement of the rotary drive 321 and the four stations arranged uniformly in the circumferential direction effectively improves the working efficiency.
[0107] In the embodiment in which the rotary drive 321 is arranged and the pick-and-place member 310 is a vacuum suction accessory, the pick-and-place assembly 300 has a central shaft 350, and the central shaft 350 is arranged with a gas slip ring 360 and connected to a support 370 through the gas slip ring 360. The vacuum source is in gas communication with the gas slip ring 360 through a pipeline, and the gas slip ring 360 is in gas communication with each vacuum suction accessory through a pipeline to provide positive pressure or negative pressure for each vacuum suction accessory. The vacuum source can be a pump or the like. The gas slip ring 360 can realize gas path communication in the rotating state. The gas slip ring 360 is a structure for realizing gas path sealing and communication, which is prior art in the field of gas path communication, and the present embodiment does not make undue repetition.
[0108] Here, the vacuum suction method can effectively and conveniently realize the pick-and-place and movement of the freeze-dried materials, improve the pre-loading efficiency of the freeze-dried materials, and will not damage the freeze-dried materials, which helps to ensure the feeding quality of the freeze-dried materials.
[0109] In some embodiments, in order to make the connection 340 and the pick-and-place assembly 300 have better collimation when lifting, a guide post and a guide sleeve can also be provided. The fixed frame 330 does not move with the driving of the lifting drive 322 and the rotating drive 321. One of the guide post and the guide sleeve is connected to the fixed frame 330, and the other is connected to the connection 340, and the guide post is fitted in the guide sleeve, the guide post extends along the direction in which the connection 340 lifts, which is generally the vertical direction. Thus, when the lifting drive 322 drives the connection 340 to lift, the guide post also lifts with the connection 340, and the guide effect is achieved based on the cooperation with the guide sleeve, so that the lifting of the connection 340 and the pick-and-place assembly 300 is more stable and collimated.
[0110] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, a detection mechanism 600 can also be provided, which can be used to detect whether the liquid in the pharmaceutical container 60 meets the preset standard. For example, the detection mechanism 600 can be a liquid weighing mechanism, a visual detection mechanism, etc., which is used to detect whether the weight of the liquid meets the preset standard or whether the liquid level of the liquid meets the standard, etc. Exemplarily, the detection result of the detection mechanism 600 can be used to control the second feeding conveying mechanism. Here, the detection mechanism 600 can be provided at the freeze-dried material picking mechanism 10, and when the freeze-dried material picking mechanism 10 is applied to a production line or other structure, the detection mechanism 600 can also be provided at other positions upstream of the freeze-dried material picking mechanism 10.
[0111] Thus, when it is detected according to the detection result of the detection mechanism that the liquid in the pharmaceutical container 60 does not meet the preset standard, the feeding of the freeze-dried material is not performed for the corresponding pharmaceutical container 60. For example, when the two consecutive pharmaceutical containers 60 both meet the standard, the second feeding conveying mechanism is controlled to be in the first feeding state; when the previous pharmaceutical container 60 does not meet the standard and the subsequent pharmaceutical container 60 meets the standard, the second feeding conveying mechanism is controlled to be in the second feeding state described above; when the previous pharmaceutical container 60 meets the standard and the subsequent pharmaceutical container 60 does not meet the standard, the second feeding conveying mechanism is controlled to be in the third feeding state described above; and when the two consecutive pharmaceutical containers 60 both do not meet the standard, the second feeding conveying mechanism is controlled to be in the fourth feeding state.
[0112] Through this arrangement, it can be effectively achieved that the freeze-dried material is only put into the pharmaceutical container 60 that meets the standard, and the pharmaceutical container 60 that does not meet the standard can be more conveniently moved to the waste collection area at the subsequent station, and the loss of the freeze-dried material is reduced. For example, at the subsequent station, the pharmaceutical container 60 that does not meet the standard is clamped by a mechanical hand or moved to the waste collection area by a conveying line.
[0113] In some embodiments, since the freeze-drying material is placed in the freeze-drying mold and fed, in order to collect the empty freeze-drying mold after the feeding of the freeze-drying material is completed, the end of the second feeding conveying mechanism can also be provided with a freeze-drying mold collecting tray 400, and the second feeding conveying mechanism can convey the empty freeze-drying mold to the freeze-drying mold collecting tray 400.
[0114] Correspondingly, in order to better achieve the technical effects of the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application also provide a double-cavity pre-filled syringe production line. Please refer to FIG. 10, the double-cavity pre-filled syringe production line comprises a medicine container supply unit 20, a freeze-drying material supply unit 30, a filling unit 40 and a discharging unit 50. Of course, in some embodiments, it can also only comprise the filling unit 40.
[0115] Among them, the medicine container supply unit 20 and the freeze-drying material supply unit 30 are both arranged upstream of the filling unit 40, and the discharging unit 50 is arranged downstream of the filling unit 40.
[0116] The medicine container supply unit 20 is used to supply the filling unit 40 with medicine containers 60, and the freeze-drying material supply unit 30 is used to supply the filling unit 40 with freeze-drying materials. The filling unit 40 is used to load the medicine containers 60, for example, to fill the medicine containers 60 with liquid components, and to load the freeze-drying materials into the medicine containers 60. The discharging unit 50 is used to discharge the medicine containers 60 pre-filled with liquid components and freeze-drying materials into syringes.
[0117] Here, in some embodiments, the medicine container supply unit 20 can also be used to unpack the outer packaging loaded with the medicine containers 60 to take out the medicine containers 60 in the outer packaging.
[0118] Exemplarily, the syringe supply unit comprises, in sequence, an unpacking mechanism 21, a carton paper heating mechanism 22, a paper taking mechanism 23, a nest plate taking mechanism 24 and a medicine container taking mechanism 25.
[0119] The medicine containers 60 are usually contained in an outer packaging, which comprises an outermost packaging bag or packaging box, and the packaging bag or packaging box has a nest box therein, and the nest box is a honeycomb-shaped container having a plurality of containing positions arranged in an array, and each containing position contains a medicine container 60. The nest box has a nest plate substantially covering the nest box, and the nest plate can also be provided with carton paper.
[0120] In use, the unpacking mechanism 21 first unpacks the outer packaging bag or packaging box to take out the nest box. Then the sealing paper heating mechanism 22 heats the sealing paper, so that the paper taking structure can tear the sealing paper from the nest box. After the sealing paper is torn off, the nest plate taking mechanism 24 takes away the nest plate, and then the medicinal container 60 in the nest box is exposed. Thus, the medicinal container taking mechanism 25 can take out the medicinal container 60 in the nest box.
[0121] The unpacking mechanism 21, the sealing paper heating mechanism 22, the paper taking mechanism 23, the nest plate taking mechanism 24, and the medicinal container taking mechanism 25 can be mechanisms including a mechanical hand, and of course, existing mechanisms can also be used. For example, the unpacking mechanism 21 can be an existing automatic unpacking machine or a semi-automatic unpacking machine, etc. This is a selection of those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and the examples in the embodiments do not constitute undue limitations.
[0122] Here, according to actual needs, any of the unpacking mechanism 21, the sealing paper heating mechanism 22, the paper taking mechanism 23, and the nest plate taking mechanism 24 can not be provided. For example, when the packaging bag or the packaging box does not need to be unpacked, the unpacking mechanism 21 can not be provided. In the case where the unpacking mechanism 21, the sealing paper heating mechanism 22, the paper taking mechanism 23, and the nest plate taking mechanism 24 are not provided, the medicinal container supply unit 20 can basically only perform the operation of supplying the medicinal container 60 to the filling unit 40. The other operation steps can be completed by manual or by other equipment in advance. It can be understood that the examples in the embodiments do not constitute undue limitations on the present application.
[0123] The freeze-dried material supply unit 30 is used to supply freeze-dried materials to the filling unit 40. Here, in some embodiments, the freeze-dried material supply unit 30 can also be used to realize the preparation of freeze-dried materials.
[0124] Exemplarily, the freeze-dried material supply unit 30 can include a feeding subunit and a freeze-drying subunit.
[0125] Wherein, please refer to FIG. 10, the feeding subunit can include a freeze-drying mold feeding mechanism 31, a front weighing mechanism 32, a freeze-dried material filling mechanism 33, and a rear weighing mechanism 34.
[0126] The freeze-drying mold feeding mechanism 31 is used to realize the feeding of the freeze-drying mold, which is used to contain freeze-dried materials in the subsequent process. After the freeze-drying mold is fed, the front weighing mechanism 32 first weighs it, and then the freeze-dried material filling mechanism 33 fills the freeze-dried material into the freeze-drying mold. After the freeze-dried material is filled, the rear weighing mechanism 34 weighs the freeze-drying mold filled with the freeze-dried material.
[0127] The difference between the data weighed by the rear weighing mechanism 34 and the data weighed by the front weighing mechanism 32 is the weight of the filled drug solution. If the difference does not meet the preset weight range, the corresponding freeze-drying mold will be rejected before freeze-drying. For example, the processor 71 of the double-chamber pre-filled syringe production line records the position sequence number of the freeze-drying mold that does not meet the requirements, and when the freeze-drying mold is transported to the rejection station downstream of the rear weighing mechanism 34, the mechanical hand or other structure of the rejection station will take the freeze-drying mold away from the production line.
[0128] For the freeze-drying mold that meets the weighing requirements, it is transported to the freeze-drying sub-unit for freeze-drying operation.
[0129] Of course, in other embodiments, any of the freeze-drying mold feeding mechanism 31, the front weighing mechanism 32 and the rear weighing mechanism 34 can not be provided according to actual needs, and the examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitation.
[0130] And the freeze-drying mold feeding mechanism 31 therein can be a material feeding disc, and the filling mechanism 42 can include a filling pump, and of course the examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitation, and other structures can be used to realize the corresponding functions in other embodiments.
[0131] Please continue to refer to FIG. 10, the freeze-drying sub-unit includes a freeze-drying feeding mechanism 35, a freeze-drying mechanism 36 and a capping mechanism 37.
[0132] The freeze-drying mold filled with freeze-drying material described above is transported to the freeze-drying feeding mechanism 35, which can be a push rod mechanism, etc., which sends the freeze-drying mold into the freeze-drying mechanism 36 for freeze-drying.
[0133] The freeze-drying mechanism 36 can be a freeze-drying machine, etc., and the freeze-dried freeze-drying material is generally in the shape of a solid pencil, which can be called a powder cake, and of course the present embodiment does not limit the shape, etc. After the freeze-drying operation is completed, the freeze-dried freeze-drying material and the freeze-drying mold containing it can be transported to the filling unit 40 for subsequent operation.
[0134] Here, the capping mechanism 37 does not participate in the work, so in some embodiments, the capping mechanism 37 can not be provided. In other embodiments, in order to improve the applicability of the double-chamber pre-filled syringe production line, the capping mechanism 37 can be provided. Thus, the double-chamber pre-filled syringe production line can also be used to complete the production of other products. For example, by feeding a vial or other container through the freeze-drying mold feeding mechanism 31, filling the vial or other container with a drug solution through the freeze-drying material filling mechanism 33, and then feeding the vial or other container filled with the drug solution into the capping mechanism 37 for capping operation, for storage and transportation.
[0135] It can be understood that in other embodiments, according to actual conditions, any of the feeding subunit and the freeze-drying subunit can also not be arranged. For example, freeze-drying and other operations can be completed by other devices, in such a state, the double-cavity pre-filled syringe production line does not arrange the feeding subunit and the freeze-drying subunit, and the double-cavity pre-filled syringe production line itself can not have a freeze-drying function, it can be used only for feeding the freeze-dried material that has undergone freeze-drying operation to the filling unit 40, the above examples of the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitation on the present application.
[0136] Here, please continue to refer to FIG. 10, the filling unit 40 is used for filling liquid components in the medical container 60, and the freeze-dried material is loaded into the medical container 60.
[0137] Exemplarily, the filling unit 40 includes a liquid filling subunit and a freeze-dried material preloading subunit.
[0138] The liquid filling subunit includes a first sealing mechanism 41, a filling mechanism 42 and a second sealing mechanism 43 arranged in sequence.
[0139] The first sealing mechanism 41 is used for adding a first sealing body in the medical container 60, the filling mechanism 42 is used for filling liquid, such as diluent, in the space on the upper side of the first sealing body, and the second sealing mechanism 43 is used for adding a second sealing body in the medical container 60, and the first sealing body and the second sealing body form a liquid chamber that seals the diluent. It can be understood that for the double-cavity pre-filled syringe, one end of the communication channel is connected to the liquid chamber.
[0140] Here, the first sealing body and the second sealing body can be the same or different, for example, both the first sealing body and the second sealing body are rubber plugs, of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used without affecting the performance of the liquid and the subsequent freeze-dried material filled, for example, wooden plugs, metal plugs, etc., as long as they can form a liquid chamber for containing liquid, the examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitation.
[0141] In some embodiments, the first detection mechanism 44 can also be provided to detect whether the filling amount of the liquid meets the preset standard. The first detection mechanism 44 can be provided on the same side, opposite side, downstream, etc. of the filling mechanism 42, as long as it can achieve the detection of the filling amount of the liquid. For example, the first detection mechanism 44 can include two liquid weighing mechanisms respectively provided upstream and downstream of the filling mechanism 42, and the liquid is weighed before and after filling to obtain the filling amount of the liquid, etc. The examples in this embodiment do not constitute undue limitations thereto. In addition, in some embodiments, the detection result of the first detection mechanism 44 can be used to control the freeze-dried material preloading subunit downstream thereof, for example, the first detection mechanism 44 is used as the aforementioned detection mechanism of the freeze-dried material transfer mechanism 10. Of course, in other embodiments, a detection mechanism can also be additionally provided at the freeze-dried material transfer mechanism 10, and the detection mechanism can also be a liquid weighing mechanism or other mechanism.
[0142] It can be understood that the liquid filling subunit can not be provided with the first sealing mechanism 41, for example, in the case that the pharmaceutical container 60 supplied to the liquid filling subunit is already provided with the first sealing body.
[0143] Please continue to refer to FIG. 10, the freeze-dried material preloading subunit includes a first turnover mechanism 45, a freeze-dried material preloading mechanism 46 and a third sealing mechanism 47 provided in sequence. Among them, the freeze-dried material preloading mechanism 46 can adopt the freeze-dried material transfer mechanism 10 introduced in the foregoing embodiments, the structure of which has been specifically described in the foregoing embodiments, and this embodiment will not be described in detail.
[0144] Among them, the first turnover mechanism 45 is used to turn over the pharmaceutical container 60, so that the side of the pharmaceutical container 60 for preloading freeze-dried material faces the freeze-dried material transfer mechanism 10. For example, the first turnover mechanism 45 is a mechanical hand, etc. Of course, in some embodiments, in the case that the pharmaceutical container 60 does not need to be turned over, the first turnover mechanism 45 can not be provided.
[0145] Here, the freeze-dried material transfer mechanism 10 is provided downstream of the liquid filling subunit, and of course in other embodiments, it can also be provided upstream of the liquid filling subunit.
[0146] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the filling unit 40 can also be used to load freeze-dried material into the pharmaceutical container 60, without being used to fill liquid components in the pharmaceutical container 60, for example, in the case that the pharmaceutical container supply unit 20 supplies the pre-rotation unit with a pharmaceutical container 60 which has been filled with liquid components. The examples in this embodiment do not constitute undue limitations thereto.
[0147] Here, as mentioned above, downstream of the lyophilized material transfer mechanism 10, a third sealing mechanism 47 is further provided, which is used to provide a third sealing body in the medical container 60 for sealing the lyophilized material. In the embodiment provided with the first turnover mechanism 45, a cavity for accommodating the lyophilized material is formed between the first sealing body and the third sealing body. It can be understood that for the double-cavity pre-filled syringe, one end of the communication channel is connected to the liquid cavity, and the other end is connected to the cavity.
[0148] Here, the third sealing body can be a rubber plug or the like, and of course in other embodiments it can also adopt other structures, such as a wooden plug, a metal plug, etc., as long as it can form a cavity for accommodating the lyophilized material, and the examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitations.
[0149] In some embodiments, as mentioned above, for the double-cavity pre-filled syringe, the medical container 60 has a liquid cavity for accommodating liquid and a cavity for accommodating lyophilized material, and before use of the double-cavity pre-filled syringe, the two cavities are not communicated, otherwise the lyophilized material will be mixed with the liquid in advance under unnecessary conditions, thereby causing the failure to achieve its function.
[0150] To this end, the double-cavity pre-filled syringe production line is further provided with a third detection mechanism, which is located downstream of the lyophilized material transfer mechanism 10 and upstream of the third sealing mechanism 47, for detecting the communication state of the liquid cavity for accommodating liquid and the cavity for accommodating lyophilized material in the medical container 60. If the third detection mechanism detects that the two cavities of the medical container 60 have been communicated in advance, the medical container 60 will be removed as a defective product at the subsequent station. In this way, the yield of the double-cavity pre-filled syringe can be improved. Here, the third detection mechanism can be a visual detection mechanism, an infrared detection mechanism, etc., and the examples in the present embodiment do not constitute undue limitations.
[0151] Here, in some embodiments, in order to improve the cleanliness of the environment, a laminar flow hood is provided, and the liquid filling subunit and the lyophilized material preloading subunit are both arranged in the laminar flow hood and are under an A-level laminar flow environment. The airflow of the A-level laminar flow moves in the direction from the liquid filling subunit to the lyophilized material preloading subunit. Since the liquid filling subunit is arranged upstream of the lyophilized material preloading subunit in the present embodiment, the product yield can be better guaranteed. On the contrary, if the lyophilized material preloading subunit is arranged upstream of the liquid filling subunit, the particles of the lyophilized material are easy to fall off, especially under the A-level laminar flow environment, the particles of the lyophilized material are easy to be lifted by the A-level laminar flow and form dust pollution, and are easy to fall into the liquid downstream, thereby causing the product yield to decrease.
[0152] Here, please refer to Fig. 10, the outfeed unit 50 is used to receive the medical container 60 from the filling unit 40, at this time the medical container 60 has been pre-filled with the liquid component and the lyophilized material, the liquid component can be diluent, and the lyophilized material can be cake. Then, the outfeed unit 50 assembles the medical container 60 pre-filled with the liquid component and the lyophilized material into a syringe and outfeeds.
[0153] Exemplarily, the outfeed unit 50 can include an adapter mounting mechanism 51, a top cap mounting mechanism 52, a medical container overturning mechanism 53, a back push mounting mechanism 54, and an outfeed mechanism 55.
[0154] The medical container 60 has opposite first and second ends. The adapter mounting mechanism 51 first mounts an adapter on the first end of the syringe, and the adapter provides a conversion head. Then the top cap mounting mechanism 52 mounts a top cap on the adapter for protection.
[0155] Subsequently, the medical container overturning mechanism 60 overturns the medical container 60 by 180°, and the first and second ends of the medical container 60 are reversed. The back push mounting mechanism 54 can mount a back push on the second end of the medical container 60. The back push is a flange structure protruding outwardly at the second end position of the medical container 60, and in actual use of the syringe, the operator can press the back push with the index finger and middle finger, and press the plunger with the thumb to achieve injection. After the back push is mounted, the medical container 60 becomes a syringe without a plunger and a needle, and the outfeed mechanism 55 can outfeed it into a finished product collection container.
