Sensor fastening for single-use containers
A device for detachably fastening a sensor for determining and/or monitoring at least one process variable of a medium to a single-use container, wherein there is a connection between the device and a wall of the single-use container, comprises a fastening unit for detachably fastening the sensor to the single-use container. Disclosed also is a single-use container having a device according to the invention.
1. A device for detachably fastening a sensor for determining and/or monitoring at least one process variable of a medium to a single-use container, wherein there is a connection between the device and a wall of the single-use container, the device comprising:
a fastening unit for detachably fastening the sensor to the single-use container; and
a connection unit for producing the connection of the device to the wall of the single-use container,
wherein the connection unit serves to ensure, in a contact region of the wall of the single-use container, an integral connection,
wherein the connection unit has a contact surface for producing the connection to the wall of the single-use container.
2. The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one component of the device can be integrally produced together with the single-use container.
3. The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fastening unit serves to produce a frictional and/or form-fitting connection between the sensor and the device.
4. The device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the fastening unit has means for producing a click, latch, screw or bayonet connection, at least one guide rail or a snap hook.
5. The device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the fastening unit has at least two fastening components.
6. A device for detachably fastening a sensor for determining and/or monitoring at least one process variable of a medium to a single-use container, wherein there is a connection between the device and a wall of the single-use container, the device comprising:
a fastening unit for detachably fastening the sensor to the single-use container; and
a connection unit for producing the connection of the device to the wall of the single-use container,
wherein the connection unit has means for producing an adhesive bond, or vulcanization.
7. A single-use container, comprising:
a device for detachably fastening a sensor to the single-use container, the device including:
a fastening unit for detachably fastening the sensor to the single-use container, and
a connection unit for producing the connection of the device to the wall of the single-use container,
wherein the connection unit comprises a flat base element, wherein a surface contour of a first surface of the base element is designed to correspond to the wall of the single-use container,
wherein the sensor is for determining and/or monitoring at least one process variable of a medium in the single-use container,
wherein there is a connection between the device and a wall of the single-use container.
8. The single-user container according to claim 7 ,
wherein the connection between the device and the single-use container is at least partially produced in the region of the first surface of the base element and/or wherein the fastening unit is arranged in the region of a second surface of the base element.
9. The single-user container according to claim 8 ,
wherein the base element is designed in the form of a flat plate.
10. The single-user container according to claim 9 ,
wherein the base element has a through-opening in which the sensor is arranged when the sensor is fastened to the device.
