A kind of suction pipe loading method

Abstract

The invention discloses a suction pipe loading method and apparatus. According to the suction pipe loading method, a material support inspection station, a suction pipe placing position, suction pipeblowing starting and ending positions and a suction pipe ending position are successively arranged in the conveying direction of stock support guiding grooves, the suction pipe loading method comprises the steps that continuous conveying is started to a stock support guiding groove, whether material supports which penetrate through the stock support inspection station are arranged inside all stocksupport guiding grooves or not is inspected, and inspected results, suction pipe grabbing and releasing, and suction pipe blowing and removing are recorded. The suction pipe loading apparatus comprises a suction pipe conveying machine, a grabbing and releasing mechanical arm and conveying pieces capable of continuously conveying material support guiding grooves, the material support inspection station is provided with material support inspection pieces capable of inspecting whether the material supports are arranged on the material support inspection piece or not, the grabbing and releasing mechanical arm can grab N bags of suction pipes on the suction pipe conveying machine and put the N bags of suction pipes correspondingly into N material support guiding grooves, the N is greater thanor equal to 2, a suction pipe blowing station is provided with a suction pipe blowing apparatus which can be started and closed according to inspecting results of the material support inspection pieces, the operation is simple, stable, reliable, and energy consumption is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of food and medicine production, in particular to a straw loading method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, pharmaceutical manufacturers have basically replaced inefficient manual packaging with automated product packaging lines, in which the cartoning machine needs to load medicine trays, instructions, straws, etc. during the cartoning process. In order to improve the efficiency of the cartoning machine, the continuous cartoning machine is generally used to complete the boxing of the medicine, and the straw is cut and transported by the straw machine, and the cut straw is placed on the continuously running medicine tray. Generally, manipulators can be used for tracking and placement. To meet the requirements of high-speed and accurate tracking and placement, the manipulator must not only have a tracking function but also run fast enough, but the manipulators that meet the speed and accuracy requir...

Problems solved by technology

In order to improve the efficiency of the cartoning machine, the continuous cartoning machine is generally used to complete the boxing of the medicine, and the straw is cut and transported by the straw machine, and the cut straw is placed on the continuously running medicine tray. Generally, manipulators can be used for tracking and placement. To meet the requirements of high-speed and accurate tracking and placement, the manipulator must not only have tracking function but also run fast enough, but the manipulators that meet the speed and accuracy requirements are relatively expensive.

[0003] A medium-low-speed manipulator with tracking function is used to cooperate with the straw machine and cartoning machine to complete the grasping and placing of straws. The end clamp of the manipulator is designed to grasp and place multiple packs of straws at a time, which can effectively reduce the speed requirements of the equipment for the manipulator and reduce equipment costs. However, because the cartoning machine cannot guarantee that there is a medicine tray in each tray guide groove, there will be situations where there is no medicine tray and straws in the tray guide groove of the cartoning machine, resulting in waste of straws and affecting downstream operations.
