Description

本発明は、滅菌対象物を収容室内に収容し、滅菌対象物に電子線を照射して滅菌対象物の滅菌を行う滅菌装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a sterilization apparatus that accommodates an object to be sterilized in a storage room and irradiates the object to be sterilized with an electron beam to sterilize the object to be sterilized.

従来より、薬剤を収容する薬剤容器などの滅菌対象物に対し、電子線を照射することで滅菌対象物の主に外表面の滅菌が行われている。
このような滅菌は、例えば特許文献１に開示されているように、コンベア上に滅菌対象物を載せ、コンベアの上下に設けられた電子線照射手段から、コンベア上を搬送される滅菌対象物に対して電子線を照射することで、滅菌対象物の滅菌が行われている。 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, an outer surface of an object to be sterilized is mainly sterilized by irradiating an electron beam to an object to be sterilized such as a medicine container for accommodating a medicine.
Such sterilization involves, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, placing an object to be sterilized on a conveyor, and applying electron beam irradiation means provided above and below the conveyor to an object to be sterilized conveyed on the conveyor. The object to be sterilized is sterilized by irradiating the object with an electron beam.

ところで滅菌対象物をコンベアの同じ箇所に載置させたままとすると、コンベアと滅菌対象物とが接する箇所に電子線が当たらず、滅菌が十分になされないおそれが生ずる。
このためコンベアの途中には、滅菌対象物をコンベア上でスライド移動させ、コンベアと滅菌対象物とが接する箇所が常に一定とはならないようにする工夫がなされている。 By the way, if the object to be sterilized is left on the same place on the conveyor, the electron beam does not hit the part where the conveyor and the object to be sterilized come into contact, and there is a possibility that the sterilization may not be performed sufficiently.
For this reason, in the middle of the conveyor, the object to be sterilized is slid on the conveyor so that the contact point between the conveyor and the object to be sterilized is not always constant.

このようなスライド移動がなされるコンベアを有する滅菌装置を用いれば、滅菌対象物の全面に対して電子線を照射することができ、高い滅菌性を確保することができる。   By using a sterilizer having a conveyor on which such slide movement is performed, the entire surface of the object to be sterilized can be irradiated with an electron beam, and high sterility can be ensured.

国際公開第０３／０６８２７２号International Publication No. 03/068272

しかしながら、特許文献１に開示された滅菌装置は、コンベア上を滅菌対象物が搬送される構造であるため、どうしても水平方向に装置が大きくなってしまい、大掛かりで多大なコストを要するものであった。   However, the sterilization device disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which an object to be sterilized is conveyed on a conveyor, so that the size of the device inevitably increases in the horizontal direction, which is large and requires large cost. .

本発明はこのような実情に鑑みなされたものであって、装置が大掛かりにはならずコンパクトに収めることができ、また製造コストを抑えることのできる、汎用性の高い滅菌装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a highly versatile sterilization apparatus that can be compactly stored without increasing the size of the apparatus and that can reduce manufacturing costs.

In addition, since the rods of the second support can be inserted between the rods of the first support, it is possible to minimize the enlargement of the sterilization apparatus in the horizontal direction. This can contribute to downsizing of the sterilization apparatus.

また、本発明の滅菌装置は、
前記電子線照射手段が、

このようにパスボックスであれば小型であるため、例えば隣接する部屋と部屋との間に存在する壁内に本滅菌装置を設置することができ、滅菌装置の設置に要するコストを抑えることができる。さらにパスボックスは規格化されたサイズであるため、このようなパスボックスを収容室とした滅菌装置は、汎用性が高く設置に要するコストも抑えることができる。 Further, the sterilizer of the present invention,
The storage chamber is a pass box.
Since the pass box is small in this way, for example, the present sterilizer can be installed in a wall existing between adjacent rooms, and the cost required for installing the sterilizer can be suppressed. . Further, since the pass box has a standardized size, a sterilizer using such a pass box as a storage room has high versatility and can reduce the cost required for installation.

本発明によれば、上下移動手段で第１支持体と第２支持体の少なくともいずれか一方を上下動させて電子線を滅菌対象物に照射することで、滅菌対象物に電子線が照射されない滅菌残りの箇所を生ずることなく確実に滅菌することができ、しかも構造が簡素化されているため小型化に寄与することができ、製造コストを抑えた汎用性の高い滅菌装置を提供することができる。   According to the present invention, the object to be sterilized is not irradiated with the electron beam by irradiating the object with the electron beam by vertically moving at least one of the first support and the second support with the vertical moving means. It is possible to provide a highly versatile sterilization apparatus that can surely sterilize without generating a remaining portion of the sterilization and that can contribute to downsizing because of a simplified structure, and that can reduce manufacturing costs. it can.

以下、本発明の実施形態について、図面に基づいてより詳細に説明する。
本発明の滅菌装置は、滅菌対象物を収容室内に収容し、滅菌対象物に電子線を照射して滅菌対象物の滅菌を行うためのものである。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
The sterilization apparatus of the present invention is for sterilizing an object to be sterilized by storing the object to be sterilized in a storage room and irradiating the object to be sterilized with an electron beam.

図１に示したように、本発明の実施形態における滅菌装置１０は、滅菌対象物５０を載置手段２０上に載置して収容する収容室１２を備え、さらに収容室１２内に収容された滅菌対象物５０に対して電子線を照射する電子線照射手段４０を備えている。   As shown in FIG. 1, a sterilization apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage chamber 12 that stores an object 50 to be sterilized by mounting it on a mounting unit 20, and is further stored in the storage chamber 12. An electron beam irradiation means 40 for irradiating the sterilized object 50 with an electron beam is provided.

本実施形態における電子線照射手段４０は、滅菌対象物５０に対して電子線を下方から照射する下方照射手段４２と、滅菌対象物５０に対して電子線を上方から照射する上方照射手段４４と、から成るものである。   The electron beam irradiating means 40 in the present embodiment includes a lower irradiating means 42 for irradiating the sterilization target 50 with an electron beam from below, an upper irradiating means 44 for irradiating the sterilization target 50 with an electron beam from above. , Consisting of

そして、収容室１２内に設けられた載置手段２０は、図２に示したように、滅菌対象物５０の底部５２を部分的に支持して載置状態を維持する第１支持体２２と、この第１支持体２２で支持した箇所とは異なる滅菌対象物５０の底部５２を部分的に支持して載置状態を維持する第２支持体２４と、から成っている。   Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the placement means 20 provided in the storage chamber 12 partially supports the bottom 52 of the sterilization target 50 and maintains the placement state with the first support 22. And a second support 24 that partially supports the bottom 52 of the sterilization target 50 that is different from the portion supported by the first support 22 and maintains the mounted state.

第１支持体２２には、第１支持体２２を上下方向に移動させるための上下移動手段３０が設けられており、これにより収容室１２内を上下方向に移動することができるようになっている。なお、上下移動手段３０は、公知の昇降機構を利用することができ、例えばエアシリンダー式、油圧シリンダー式、ネジ送り式など如何なる機構によるものであっても良い。   The first support 22 is provided with up-down moving means 30 for moving the first support 22 in the up-down direction, so that the first support 22 can be moved up-down in the accommodation room 12. I have. The vertical moving means 30 can use a known elevating mechanism, and may be any mechanism such as an air cylinder type, a hydraulic cylinder type, and a screw feed type.

一方、第２支持体２４には上下移動手段３０が設けられておらず、所定の位置に固定されている。
このような第１支持体２２と第２支持体２４は、図３に示したように、複数の棒状体２６，２８がそれぞれ並設されて、櫛状に構成されたものであり、第１支持体２２の棒状体２６と第２支持体２４の棒状体２８が交互となるように設けられている。 On the other hand, the second support 24 is not provided with the vertical moving means 30, but is fixed at a predetermined position.
As shown in FIG. 3, the first support 22 and the second support 24 have a plurality of rods 26 and 28 arranged side by side, and are configured in a comb shape. The bars 26 of the support 22 and the bars 28 of the second support 24 are provided alternately.

すなわち、第１支持体２２と第２支持体２４は互いに嵌り合うように設けられているものの、図３に示したような上面視において、重なり合うことが無いように設けられている。   That is, the first support 22 and the second support 24 are provided so as to fit each other, but are provided so as not to overlap in a top view as shown in FIG.

そして、滅菌対象物５０に対して滅菌を行う際には、まず収容室１２の扉（図示せず）を開け、図２に示したように収容室１２内の第１支持体２２上に滅菌対象物５０を載置させる。   When sterilizing the object 50 to be sterilized, first, the door (not shown) of the accommodation room 12 is opened, and the sterilization is performed on the first support 22 in the accommodation room 12 as shown in FIG. The object 50 is placed.

そして、収容室１２の扉（図示せず）を閉め、収容室１２内を密閉空間とした後、収容室１２の上下に設けられた下方照射手段４２および上方照射手段４４から滅菌対象物５０に対して電子線を照射する。電子線の照射時間については特に限定されるものではないが、本実施形態では１０〜５０秒程度の電子線照射が行われる。   Then, the door (not shown) of the accommodation room 12 is closed to make the interior of the accommodation room 12 a closed space, and then the lower irradiation unit 42 and the upper irradiation unit 44 provided above and below the accommodation room 12 pass the sterilization target 50. An electron beam is applied to the object. The irradiation time of the electron beam is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, the electron beam irradiation is performed for about 10 to 50 seconds.

この電子線の照射が行われている際に、上下移動手段３０を起動させて、第１支持体２２を下方に下げて行くと、図４に示したように第１支持体２２の棒状体２６と第２支持体２４の棒状体２８とが、水平方向に並ぶこととなる。   When the electron beam irradiation is being performed, the vertical support means 30 is activated to lower the first support 22 downward, and as shown in FIG. 26 and the rod 28 of the second support 24 are arranged in the horizontal direction.

そして、さらに第１支持体２２を下方に下げて行くと、図５に示したように、第１支持体２２上に載置された滅菌対象物５０は、第２支持体２４に受け渡しされることとなる。
第１支持体２２と第２支持体２４は、図３に示したように上面視において棒状体２６と棒状体２８とが互いに重なり合うことが無いように設けられているため、滅菌対象物５０に対して電子線を照射している際に、第１支持体２２上から第２支持体上へと滅菌対象物５０の受け渡しをすれば、滅菌対象物５０の底部５２と載置手段２０との間において、滅菌がなされない箇所が全く生じないため、確実に滅菌対象物５０の滅菌を行うことができる。 When the first support 22 is further lowered, the sterilization target 50 placed on the first support 22 is transferred to the second support 24 as shown in FIG. It will be.
Since the first support 22 and the second support 24 are provided so that the bar 26 and the bar 28 do not overlap each other when viewed from above as shown in FIG. If the object 50 to be sterilized is transferred from the first support 22 to the second support while the electron beam is being irradiated, the bottom 52 of the object 50 and the placing means 20 are not connected. Since there is no place where sterilization is not performed at all, the sterilization target 50 can be surely sterilized.

なお、本滅菌装置１０は、最低限の構成として載置手段２０が上下移動手段３０を有する収容室１２と、電子線照射手段４０と、を備えれば良いが、他にも収容室１２の一方側の側方に給気手段６０、他方側の側方に排気手段６２を設けても良いものである。   In addition, the sterilization apparatus 10 only needs to include, as a minimum configuration, the storage chamber 12 in which the mounting means 20 has the vertical moving means 30 and the electron beam irradiation means 40. The air supply means 60 may be provided on one side and the exhaust means 62 may be provided on the other side.

このように、給気手段６０と排気手段６２とが設けられていれば、滅菌対象物５０の滅菌を行う前に、収容室１２内の前洗浄処理を行うことができ、さらに滅菌終了後に収容室１２内から滅菌対象物５０を取り出す際に、すぐに滅菌対象物５０に細菌が付着してしまうことを極力防止することができる。   As described above, if the air supply means 60 and the exhaust means 62 are provided, the pre-cleaning process in the storage chamber 12 can be performed before the sterilization target 50 is sterilized. When taking out the sterilization target 50 from the inside of the chamber 12, it is possible to prevent bacteria from immediately adhering to the sterilization target 50 as much as possible.

また、本実施形態においては、第１支持体２２にのみ上下移動手段３０を設けているが、第２支持体２４にのみ上下移動手段３０を設けても良く、さらには第１支持体２２と第２支持体２４の両方に上下移動手段３０を設けても良く、特に限定されないものである。   Further, in the present embodiment, the vertical moving means 30 is provided only on the first support 22. However, the vertical moving means 30 may be provided only on the second support 24. The vertical moving means 30 may be provided on both of the second supports 24, and is not particularly limited.

さらに、第１支持体２２の棒状体２６および第２支持体２４の棒状体２８も、図３に示したような本数、間隔、太さに限定されるものではなく、滅菌対象物５０を確実に支持することができれば、如何なる本数、間隔、太さであっても構わないものである。   Further, the rods 26 of the first support 22 and the rods 28 of the second support 24 are not limited to the number, interval, and thickness as shown in FIG. Any number, spacing, and thickness can be used as long as it can be supported.

また、本実施形態においては、電子線照射手段４０として下方照射手段４２と上方照射手段４４の両方を用いているが、最低限、下方照射手段４２のみとしても良いものである。すなわち、下方照射手段４２から照射された電子線は滅菌対象物５０の底部５２から側方に回り込むため、滅菌対象物５０の形状や大きさによっては、下方照射手段４２のみとしても良いものである。   In the present embodiment, both the lower irradiating unit 42 and the upper irradiating unit 44 are used as the electron beam irradiating unit 40, but at least the lower irradiating unit 42 may be used at a minimum. That is, since the electron beam emitted from the lower irradiation unit 42 wraps around from the bottom 52 of the sterilization target 50 to the side, depending on the shape and size of the sterilization target 50, only the lower irradiation unit 42 may be used. .

さらに、上方から照射する上方照射手段４４のみとして良い場合もある。すなわち、滅菌装置１０の収容室１２の下方部分に下方照射手段４２を設置するスペースがない場合には、上方照射手段４４のみとしても良い。上方照射手段４４から照射された電子線は滅菌対象物５０の上部から側方に回り込むため、滅菌対象物５０の全面に対して電子線を照射することができる。   Further, in some cases, only the upper irradiating means 44 for irradiating from above may be sufficient. That is, when there is no space for installing the lower irradiating means 42 in the lower part of the storage chamber 12 of the sterilizer 10, only the upper irradiating means 44 may be used. Since the electron beam emitted from the upper irradiating means 44 wraps around from the top of the sterilization target 50 to the side, the entire surface of the sterilization target 50 can be irradiated with the electron beam.

さらに、本実施形態における滅菌装置１０の収容室１２のサイズは特に限定されるものではないが、例えば収容室１２が隣接する部屋と部屋との間に存在する壁内に設けられるパスボックスであれば、既存のパスボックスとして、本滅菌装置１０を設置することができる。   Furthermore, the size of the storage room 12 of the sterilization apparatus 10 in the present embodiment is not particularly limited, but may be a pass box provided in a wall between the adjacent rooms, for example. For example, the present sterilization apparatus 10 can be installed as an existing pass box.

すなわち、本発明の滅菌装置１０は、載置手段２０を上下移動手段３０で上下動させる簡易な構造であるため、水平方向に装置が大型化することがなく、コンパクトとすることができ、製造コストを抑えることができる。しかも既存のパスボックスの代わりとして本発明の滅菌装置１０を配設することができるため、設置コストも抑えることができ、既存のパスボックスのサイズに合わせた汎用性の高い滅菌装置１０とすることができる。   That is, since the sterilization apparatus 10 of the present invention has a simple structure in which the placing means 20 is moved up and down by the up and down moving means 30, the apparatus can be made compact without increasing the size in the horizontal direction. Costs can be reduced. Moreover, since the sterilization apparatus 10 of the present invention can be disposed in place of the existing pass box, the installation cost can be suppressed, and the versatile sterilization apparatus 10 can be adapted to the size of the existing pass box. Can be.

以上、本発明の滅菌装置１０の好ましい形態について説明したが、本発明は上記の形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の目的を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能なものである。   The preferred embodiment of the sterilization apparatus 10 of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the object of the present invention.
