Description

  The present invention relates to an isolator having a housing that is shielded from the outside atmosphere.

  Conventionally, in order to handle things that have some influence on the human body inside the case, such as those containing harmful components or substances with very strong pharmacological activity, the inside of the case is completely shielded from the external atmosphere. Various isolators have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3).

  In Patent Document 1, there is a cleaning method for a rotary powder compression molding machine in which a washing product such as a detergent, a brush, or a spray gun is used for hand washing in a molding chamber in which a rotary disk of a rotary powder compression molding machine is housed. It is disclosed. However, when some parts (such as a mold) are washed with a spray gun, other parts in the molding machine become wet, or moisture accumulates in the molding machine, resulting in poor fluidity of the powder. Therefore, it is not appropriate to clean parts with such a configuration.

  In addition, when powder containing harmful components is used, there is no disclosure of a method for taking out the cleaned parts. In order to take out the cleaned parts, the operator wets the entire molding machine so as not to inhale dust. It is necessary to open the door after wetting down to prevent dust from dancing. For this reason, there is also a problem that parts and the like cannot be taken out when the entire molding machine is not wet-down.

  In Patent Document 2, a member passing portion is further disclosed. However, similarly to Patent Document 1, when a part is cleaned in the internal space of the press, other parts in the molding machine are similarly wetted, or moisture accumulates in the molding machine, resulting in poor fluidity of the powder. is there.

  Further, unlike Patent Document 1, a member passing portion is provided. However, when a part is taken in and out using a glove (glove), the member passing portion is on the side wall, so that it is often necessary to work with one hand, and there is a problem that it is difficult to put in and out the part.

  In addition, since the member passing part is not a structure like RTP (Rapid Transfer Port), if a part to which powder containing harmful components adheres is taken out without wet-down, the powder will leak out of the molding machine. End up. Therefore, even if it has a member passage part, there also exists a problem that components etc. cannot be taken out in the state which has not wet-down the whole inside of a molding machine.

  Patent Document 3 discloses RTP. The RTP is generally provided on the side wall so that an operator can work while standing. However, the RTP container is attached (detached) by rotating (rotating in the vertical direction), but there is a problem that parts in the container may be damaged by the rotation.

  In order to prevent this, it is necessary to use a RTP that is larger than necessary because it must be put in a container having a buffering property (inner case), and there is a problem in terms of space and cost. There is.

  In addition, a container having a certain depth may be used. However, when the RTP is provided on the side wall, there is a problem that it is difficult for a hand with a glove to reach the back of the container. Therefore, when small parts are carried in / out, it is necessary to place them near the entrance of the container, and there is a problem that a plurality of parts cannot be carried in / out at one time and the depth of the container cannot be utilized.

  And even if multiple parts can be taken in and out at once using the inner case to make use of the depth of the container, the inner part will not spill out because it rotates in the vertical direction when attaching and detaching the container. Case must be used.

  In addition, when the RTP is provided on the side wall, an operator often has to work with one hand, and thus there is a problem that heavy parts are difficult to put in and out.

  In addition, there are cases where the powder containing harmful components adhering to parts such as molds is put in a plastic bag and then put in and out of the container so as not to be exposed, but there are not a few irregularities in the inner periphery of the RTP, There is also a problem that the plastic bag may be caught by the unevenness and torn, or the parts may be damaged by the unevenness.

  In addition, when the RTP is provided on the side wall, the molded product formed by the powder compression molding machine cannot be directly fed into the container, and the workability has to be put into the container after the molded product is put into the inner case. There is a problem.

  And even if it uses an inner case, an operator must put an inner case in a container with one hand, and there also exists a problem that a large amount of molded products cannot be carried in in a container.

  In addition, it is necessary to use an inner case having a lid or the like that prevents the molded product from spilling out, which causes a problem in workability.

  Further, in order to take out a large number of molded products, it is necessary to provide an apparatus for taking out the molded products separately, which causes a problem in terms of space and cost.
