Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Transportable clean rooms for filling medicine containers are complex, prone to contamination, and require manual operation, with high risks due to the need for human intervention and large openings for substance introduction.
Innovation Solution
A transportable clean room with a flexible, airtight shell featuring an openable active substance connection region and a robot connection region, allowing for automated filling and closure using a manipulation device and filling device actuated by a robot, reducing human intervention and contamination risks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation with human intervention is used, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity and contamination risk increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with an automated robot system that uses programmable movements and forces to perform filling operations, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining ease of operation through automation
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service operation where the robot autonomously performs filling operations without human intervention inside the clean room, and the shell automatically seals to maintain sterility, reducing the need for complex manual control mechanisms
2Ease of operation
If large openings are provided for human intervention, then ease of operation is improved, but contamination risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the human operator from the clean room environment and performs operations externally through the robot system, eliminating the source of contamination while maintaining operational capability through automated manipulation
Solution Approach 2:
The robot acts as an intermediary between the external environment and the sterile clean room interior, transferring materials and performing operations without direct human contact, thereby preventing contamination while enabling operation
3Object-affected harmful factors
If automation is increased, then contamination risk is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The robot system is designed with multi-functionality to perform various filling operations and manipulations within the clean room, consolidating multiple functions into a single automated unit that reduces overall system complexity while maintaining high automation levels
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible shell design allows the clean room to be easily sealed and transported, simplifying the overall system structure while enabling automated operations without requiring complex rigid containment structures
4Device complexity
If manual filling is used, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The automated robot system enables continuous filling operations without the interruptions inherent in manual operations, maintaining constant productive action while the flexible shell and standardized interfaces keep the system relatively simple

AI summary
The invention relates to a portable clean room for filling at least one medicine container, located in the clean room with at least one active substance, wherein: the clean room is enclosed in an airtight manner by an at least partially flexible shell, the shell has at least one active substance connection region which can be opened, and a manipulation device and at least one medicine container are located in the clean room. According to the invention, the shell has at least one actuation connection region, wherein the manipulation device has at least one filling device which can be coupled to the active substance connection region for introducing at least one active substance into the at least one medicine container arranged in the clean room, and the manipulation device can be actuated by means of an actuation device via the actuation connection region of the shell, and is designed to displace the filling device—relative to the at least one medicine container—and/or to actuate the filling device.
