Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a syringe loading device. Background Technology

[0002] Syringes are common medical devices whose primary function is to inject intravenous solutions into the human body through a needle for the purpose of diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases. With the development of medical technology and the increasing demands for healthcare, disposable syringes have been widely used in medical systems due to their convenience and safety. The production process of disposable syringes includes several steps such as pre-filling and cap assembly, among which the loading and transportation of the syringe barrel is a crucial link.

[0003] Existing syringe loading devices have several shortcomings during transportation. For example, clamping the syringe too tightly may damage its outer surface; clamping it too loosely may cause it to fall out, affecting production efficiency. These problems prevent existing loading devices from meeting the demands of high-efficiency syringe production. Furthermore, existing loading devices may not be adaptable to syringes of different sizes and shapes, lacking flexibility and adaptability.

[0004] To address these issues, those skilled in the art have conducted extensive research and exploration. For example, patent document CN112678222B discloses a syringe loader that uses two chain plates to clamp and transport syringes, which avoids damaging the syringes and efficiently transports them to the syringe tray. When transport stops, the friction between the two chain plates and the syringe prevents the syringes from being pushed forward, thus not affecting subsequent production processes.

[0005] Nevertheless, existing technologies still have room for improvement. For example, existing loading equipment may need improvement in terms of automation, operational efficiency, and loading accuracy. Furthermore, with the expansion of production scale and the acceleration of production pace, the performance requirements for loading equipment are becoming increasingly stringent. Therefore, developing a new type of syringe loading equipment to improve production efficiency, ensure loading quality, and adapt to different production needs has become an urgent need in this field.

[0006] Against this backdrop, the present invention aims to provide a novel syringe loading device that overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and achieves efficient, precise, and flexible syringe loading and transportation to meet the needs of modern medical production.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the syringe loading device includes a feeding device 1, two transfer devices 2, and a loading device 3. The feeding device 1 includes a guide rail 11, a transmission mechanism 12, a transfer mechanism 13, and a loading mechanism 14. The guide rail 11 receives syringes from the syringe filling device. The transmission mechanism 12 transfers syringes from the guide rail 11 to the transfer mechanism 13. The loading mechanism 14 receives syringes from the transfer mechanism 13. The transfer devices 2 receive syringes from the loading mechanism 14 and transfer them to the loading device 3. The loading device 3 includes a storage mechanism 31, a transport mechanism 32, a displacement mechanism 33, two handling mechanisms 34, two adjusting mechanisms 35, and several loading trays 36. The storage mechanism 31 stores the loading trays 36, and the transport mechanism 32 pushes the loading trays 36 from the storage mechanism 31 onto the displacement mechanism 33. The displacement mechanism 33 is used to move the loading tray 36 on the mechanism, so that the transport mechanism 34 can transport the loading tray 36 to the corresponding adjustment mechanism 35. The loading tray 36 is provided with several loading holes for loading syringes, and the loading holes are evenly arranged in a longitudinal and transverse manner. The adjustment mechanism 35 can drive the loading tray 36 on the mechanism to move, so that the loading hole to be loaded is placed below the transfer device 2, so that the transfer device 2 can put the syringe from the feeding mechanism 14 into the loading hole.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, the transmission mechanism 12 includes two synchronous transmission components 121. The two transmission components 121 operate synchronously to ensure the speed and stability of syringe transmission. The two transmission components 121 form a transmission channel 102 to ensure stable syringe transmission. Each transmission component 121 includes a transmission frame 121a, a twelfth drive member 121b, and a transmission belt 121c. The twelfth drive member 121b is a motor fixed to the transmission frame 121a. The transmission belt 121c is placed on the transmission frame 121a. The transmission frame 121a is a support structure that fixes the transmission belt 121c and the twelfth drive member 121b, is responsible for bearing the weight of the entire transmission mechanism 12, and provides the movement path for the transmission belt 121c. The twelfth drive member 121b drives the transmission belt 121c. A guide rail 11 connects to the transmission mechanism 12, and the guide rail 11 has a receiving channel 101 that communicates with the transmission channel 102.

[0038] The syringe first enters the transmission mechanism 12 via the guide rail 11. The guide rail 11 connects with the transmission channel 102 of the transmission mechanism 12, and the syringe smoothly enters the transmission channel 102 along the guide channel 101. The twelfth drive unit 121b starts and drives the transmission belt 121c for transmission. Since the transmission belt 121c is mounted on the transmission frame 121a, the driving force of the motor is evenly transmitted to the syringe through the transmission belt 121c, thereby achieving smooth movement of the syringe in the transmission channel 102. The two transmission components 121 work synchronously to ensure that the syringe remains stable during transmission, ensuring that the syringe remains balanced on the transmission belt 121c and will not fall or jam due to tilting or imbalance. Driven by the transmission belt 121c, the syringe moves forward along the transmission channel 102 and finally enters the transfer channel 103.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the transfer mechanism 13 includes a transfer rail 131 and an interception component 132. One end of the transfer rail 131 is connected to the transmission mechanism 12. The transfer rail 131 is inclined downward and has a transfer channel 103, which is connected to the transmission channel 102. The transfer rail 131 can be designed as a straight line or an arc shape according to the actual site requirements. The interception component 132 is located at the outlet of the transfer channel 103 and includes a connecting frame 132a, a thirteenth drive component 132b, and an interception head 132c. The connecting frame 132a is fixed to the transfer rail 131. The thirteenth drive component 132b is a cylinder and is fixed to the connecting frame 132a. The output end of the thirteenth drive component 132b is connected to the interception head 132c. The thirteenth drive component 132b drives the interception head 132c to open / close the transfer channel 103.

[0040] The transfer mechanism 13 ensures a smooth transition of the syringe from the transport mechanism 12 to the next processing step, guaranteeing precise guidance and control of materials during transport and ensuring the continuity and stability of the production process. The interception component 132, driven by the thirteenth drive element 132b, opens and closes the interception head 132c to control the flow of the syringe in the transfer channel 103. When it is necessary to temporarily stop the syringe from moving forward, the thirteenth drive element 132b drives the interception head 132c to move down or extend, blocking the exit of the transfer channel 103, causing the syringe to remain in the transfer channel 103. This configuration ensures that only one or more syringes pass through at a time according to the production rhythm. When the feeding mechanism 14 is ready, the thirteenth drive element 132b retracts the interception head 132c, and the syringe continues to flow through the transfer channel 103 to the feeding mechanism 14.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 14 includes a feeding rack 141, a channeling component 142, and two blocking components 143. The feeding rack 141 has one docking channel 104 and two feeding channels 105. The docking channel 104 is connected to the transfer channel 103, and both feeding channels 105 are connected to the docking channel 104. Each feeding channel 105 has a blocking component 143. The feeding rack 141 is inclined so that the docking channels 104 extend towards the transfer device 2, facilitating the syringe to slide down towards the transfer device 2 under the action of gravity. The channeling assembly 142 includes a channeling frame 142a, a fourteenth drive member 142b, and a channeling head 142c. The channeling frame 142a is fixed on the feeding frame 141. The fourteenth drive member 142b is a cylinder and is fixed on the channeling frame 142a. The output end of the fourteenth drive member 142b is connected to the channeling head 142c. The channeling head 142c extends between the two feeding channels 105 and the docking channel 104. The fourteenth drive member 142b drives the channeling head 142c to reciprocate and is used to open / close the feeding guide rail and the docking channel 104, so that the syringe enters the corresponding docking channel 104 at the appropriate time. The barrier assembly 143 is placed at the outlet of the docking channel 104 and includes a fifteenth drive member 143a and a barrier head 143b. The fifteenth drive member 143a is a cylinder and is fixed on the loading rack 141. The output end of the fifteenth drive member 143a is connected to the barrier head 143b. The fifteenth drive member 143a drives the barrier head 143b to extend into the docking channel 104.

[0042] The inclined structure of the feeding rack 141 utilizes gravity to transport the syringes, reducing the need for mechanical pushing, improving feeding efficiency, and ensuring that the material slides smoothly to the transfer device 2, saving energy and reducing mechanical complexity. In the channeling assembly 142, the fourteenth drive unit 142b drives the channeling head 142c to reciprocate, controlling the opening of the two feeding channels 105, allowing the syringes to enter the corresponding docking channels 104 as needed. When the channeling head 142c moves to one feeding channel 105, that channel is closed, and the other feeding channel 105 connects to the docking channel 104, ensuring the alternating supply of material sources. By switching the feeding channels 105, the channeling assembly 142 ensures that the syringes enter the docking channel 104 at the appropriate time, thereby entering the corresponding loading device.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the transfer device 2 includes a transfer frame 21, a first driving member 22, a second driving member 23, and a transfer seat 24. The first driving member 22 is a cylinder fixed on the transfer frame 21. The second driving member 23 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 22 and is a cylinder. The transfer seat 24 is fixed on the output end of the second driving member 23. The first driving member 22 drives the second driving member 23 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. The second driving member 23 drives the rotating seat to reciprocate in the vertical direction. The transfer seat 24 is provided with at least one receiving notch 201, which corresponds to and cooperates with the feeding mechanism 14. The transfer seat 24 may be provided with a suction port communicating with the receiving notch 201. The suction port is connected to the suction pipe connected to the vacuum generator and can be used to stably adsorb the syringe onto the receiving notch 201.

[0044] The extension and retraction of the first driving member 22 drives the second driving member 23 in the horizontal direction, enabling the transfer seat 24 to move horizontally and align with the loading tray 36 on the feeding mechanism 14 and the adjusting mechanism 35. When the second driving member 23 extends or retracts, it drives the transfer seat 24 to rise and fall vertically, ensuring that the syringes on the transfer seat 24 are delivered onto the loading tray 36 on the adjusting mechanism 35. Through the coordinated action of the first driving member 22 and the second driving member 23, the transfer seat 24 moves in both the horizontal and vertical directions, so that the receiving notch 201 is precisely aligned with the outlet of the feeding channel. The suction port is connected to the vacuum generator through a suction pipe. When the vacuum system is turned on, the suction force firmly adheres the syringes to the receiving notch 201, ensuring the stability of the syringes during movement. The transfer seat 24 not only accurately receives the syringes but also prevents the syringes from shifting or falling during the transfer process through vacuum adsorption, ensuring stable transfer of the syringes throughout the entire transfer process and improving the overall operational accuracy.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown, the adjustment mechanism 35 includes an adjustment frame 351, a support assembly 352, and an adjustment component 353. The support assembly 352 includes two support members that form a placement space 301. Each support member includes a third drive member 352a and a support plate 352b. The third drive member 352a is a cylinder and is fixed to the adjustment frame 351. The output end of the third drive member 352a is connected to the support plate 352b. The adjustment component 353 includes a fourth drive member 353a and a positioning frame 353b. The fourth drive member 353a is a cylinder and is fixed to the adjustment frame 351. The positioning frame 353b is connected to the output end of the fourth drive member 353a. The fourth drive member 353a can drive the positioning frame 353b to reciprocate between the placement space 301 and the transfer device 2. The positioning frame 353b is used for the placement and positioning of the loading tray 36.

[0046] The loading tray 36 is placed on the positioning frame 353b, which fixes and limits the loading tray 36. Since the loading tray 36 has several rows of loading holes 302, the transfer device 2 loads the syringes one row at a time when loading the loading tray 36. Therefore, the fourth driving member 353a is activated to move the positioning frame 353b below the transfer seat 24, so that after the syringes are inserted into the row of loading holes 302 on the loading tray 36, they move away from that position, so that the next row of loading holes 302 to be loaded moves below the transfer seat 24. At the same time, since the syringes are inserted into the loading holes 302, when the positioning frame 353b moves the loading tray 36, the syringes can be disengaged from the transfer seat 24.

[0047] After the syringes are loaded onto the loading tray 36, the fourth drive member 353a drives the positioning frame 353b to move towards the support assembly 352 until it enters the placement space 301. Then, the third drive member 352a drives the support plate 352b to move upwards, thereby lifting the loading tray 36 on the positioning frame 353b and causing the loading tray 36 to detach from the positioning frame 353b. Finally, the loading tray 36 containing the syringes is removed and moved to a predetermined position. Simultaneously, the fourth drive member 353a drives the positioning frame 353b to reset and move to the transfer device 2 to receive the loading tray 36 from the transport mechanism 34, and then continues the syringe loading process.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the storage mechanism 31 includes a storage bin 311 and two sets of shut-off components 312. The storage bin 311 includes a frame 311a and a door 311b. The frame 311a has a cross-section in the shape of "[" and is open from top to bottom to facilitate the placement and stacking of loading trays 36. The door 311b is movably connected to the frame 311a and is used to open and close the frame 311a. The door 311b is connected to the frame 311a by a hinge or other movable connector. When loading or unloading the loading tray 36 is required, the door 311b can be opened to facilitate the entry and exit of the loading tray 36. When not in use, the door 311b is closed to prevent the loading tray 36 from tipping over or being affected by the external environment. Two sets of stop components 312 are respectively placed on both sides of the storage box 311. The side wall of the loading tray 36 has an insertion hole 303. Each stop component 312 includes a fifth driving member 312a and a stop head 312b. The fifth driving member 312a is a cylinder whose output end is connected to the stop head 312b. The stop head 312b has an insertion rod 312c that inserts into the insertion hole 303. When the fifth driving member 312a drives the stop head 312b to extend, the insertion rod 312c inserts into the insertion hole 303 of the loading tray 36, fixing the loading tray 36 inside the storage box 311. When it is necessary to release the loading tray 36, the stop head 312b retracts under the action of the fifth driving member 312a, and the insertion rod 312c exits from the insertion hole 303, allowing the loading tray 36 to move freely. The design of the plug-in rod 312c of the cut-off head 312b provides reliable lateral support for the loading tray 36, so that the loading tray 36 will not move due to gravity or external force during stacking, effectively ensuring the neatness and stability of the storage.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the transport mechanism 32 includes a transport frame 321, a top support assembly 322, and a transport component 323. The transport mechanism 32 is placed at the bottom of the storage box 311, which is fixed to the transport frame 321. The top support assembly 322 includes a sixth drive member 322a and a top support seat 322b. The sixth drive member 322a is a cylinder and is fixed to the transport frame 321. The output end of the sixth drive member 322a is connected to the top support seat 322b, which is U-shaped. The sixth drive member 322a can drive the top support seat 322b to move towards the storage box 311. 323 passes through the top support 322b. The transport assembly 323 includes a seventh drive member 323a, a fixed frame 323b, a belt 323c, and a push plate 323d. The fixed frame 323b is fixed to the transport frame 321. The seventh drive member 323a is a motor and is fixed to the fixed frame 323b. The belt 323c is placed on the fixed frame 323b. The push plate 323d is fixed to the belt 323c. The seventh drive member 323a drives the belt 323c to reciprocate. The belt 323c and the push plate 323d cooperate to transport the loading tray 36 to the displacement mechanism 33.

[0050] The transport frame 321 provides a stable and robust support platform, enabling the storage bin 311 and other components to be installed and secured in their designated positions. Supported by the transport frame 321, the top support assembly 322 and the transport assembly 323 provide a smooth conveying path during transport, reducing the swaying of the loading pallet 36 during transit. The top support assembly 322 lifts and supports the loading pallet 36, and the sixth drive member 322a, through a telescopic movement, moves the top support seat 322b towards the storage bin 311. When it is necessary to push the loading tray 36 out of the storage box 311, the sixth drive member 322a drives the top support 322b to move upward until it moves to the bottom of the stacked loading tray 36 inside the storage box 311; then the fifth drive member 312a drives the stop head 312b to disengage from the insertion hole 303 of the loading tray 36, and the stacked loading tray 36 falls onto the top support 322b under the action of gravity. Then the fifth drive member 312a drives the stop head 312b to insert into the insertion hole 303 of the second loading tray 36 from the bottom up, and limits and fixes the remaining loading tray 36; then the sixth drive member 322a drives the top support 322b to move downward until the loading tray 36 is placed on the belt 323c. Driven by the seventh drive unit 323a, the belt 323c pushes the push plate 323d to move back and forth, and the push plate 323d can smoothly transfer the loading plate 36 placed on the belt 323c to the displacement mechanism 33 along the predetermined path.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the displacement mechanism 33 includes a displacement frame 331, several rotating rollers 332, an eighth drive member 333, and a transmission belt 334. The displacement frame 331 is provided with a partition frame 335, and the partition frame 335 has a feed port 304 corresponding to the transport component. Several rotating rollers 332 are rotatably connected to the displacement frame 331 and are evenly arranged on the displacement frame 331. The eighth drive member 333 is a motor with a drive wheel 336 at its output end. Each rotating roller 332 is provided with a driven wheel 337. The transmission belt 334 is used for linkage between the drive wheel 336 and the driven wheel 337. The eighth drive member 333 drives several rotating rollers 332 to rotate through the transmission belt 334.

[0052] The displacement mechanism 33 is used to further convey and adjust the loading pallet 36 delivered from the transport mechanism 32, transferring the loading pallet 36 to the corresponding handling mechanism 34. The feed port 304 docks with the transport component to ensure that the loading pallet 36 smoothly enters the displacement mechanism 33 from the transport mechanism 32. The displacement frame 331 provides a support structure for the installation of the rotating rollers 332 and the drive belt 334, enabling stable and accurate transmission of each component. When the eighth drive unit 333 is started, the power of the motor is transmitted to the drive wheel 336, which in turn drives the driven wheel 337 through the drive belt 334, ultimately driving all the rotating rollers 332 to rotate synchronously, causing the loading pallet 36 to move along the conveying path.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the conveying mechanism 34 includes a conveying frame 341, a ninth drive member 342, a first mounting plate 343, a tenth drive member 344, a second mounting plate 345, an eleventh drive member 346, and a clamping member 347. The ninth drive member 342 is a linear motor and is fixed to the conveying frame 341. The output end of the ninth drive member 342 is connected to the first mounting plate 343. The tenth drive member 344 is fixed to the first mounting plate 343 and is a cylinder whose output end is connected to the second mounting plate 345. 5. The eleventh drive member 346 is a pneumatic gripper and is fixed on the second mounting plate 345. The clamping member 347 is connected to the output end of the eleventh drive member 346. The ninth drive member 342 causes the clamping member 347 to reciprocate between the displacement mechanism 33 and the adjustment mechanism 35. The tenth drive member 344 causes the clamping member 347 to reciprocate in the vertical direction. The clamping member 347 is composed of two gripping claws. The eleventh drive member 346 drives the clamping member 347 to clamp the loading tray 36.

[0054] The loading plate on the displacement mechanism 33 is transported to the adjustment mechanism 35 via the conveying mechanism 34. The activation of the ninth drive member 342 causes the clamping member 347 to reciprocate between the displacement mechanism 33 and the adjustment mechanism 35, thereby transporting the loading tray 36 from the displacement mechanism 33 to the adjustment mechanism 35. The activation of the tenth drive member 344 causes the clamping member 347 to reciprocate vertically, which can be used for lifting and lowering the loading tray 36. The eleventh drive member 346 enables the clamping member 347 to clamp and release the loading tray 36, thereby achieving the gripping of the loading tray 36. The ninth drive member 342 provides horizontal reciprocating motion, and the tenth drive member 344 provides vertical lifting motion. Their cooperation allows the loading tray 36 to achieve smooth and accurate multi-degree-of-freedom spatial position adjustment during transport, ensuring that the loading tray 36 can smoothly reach the required position. The synergistic effect of the eleventh drive member 346 and the clamping member 347 achieves a firm gripping of the loading tray 36 during transport.
