Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medicine packaging box processing, in particular to a medicine packaging box loading and unloading device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of drugs, after the drugs are inner-packed, such as filled into the tablet plastic grid, they are filled into the outer packaging box, and the outer packaging box is sealed, sprayed with code, and laminated to form a finished packaging box.

[0003] In the actual production process, after the medicine packaging boxes are discharged from the discharging end of the production line, they need to be placed in the material frame. After a certain number of boxes have accumulated, the packaging boxes in the material frame are directly and neatly buckled into the carton and the carton is sealed.

[0004] Therefore, during the production process, several packers need to be arranged at the discharge end of the production line. This method not only wastes human resources, but also the production line operation speed is very fast, and operators are prone to mistakes during the operation. Once a mistake is made, it is easy to cause a large number of packaging boxes to fail to enter the material frame in time, such as the material frame fails to align with the discharge port in time, and the idle material frame fails to be replenished in time. At the same time, after the material frame is fully loaded, it needs to be moved to the designated stacking area. However, during the production process, the operators simply cannot spare time to move the material frames, resulting in the material frames piling up in the discharge port operation area, which gradually narrows the operating space in the operation area.

[0005] Therefore, the disadvantages of manual packaging are very obvious.

[0006] Moreover, in the actual production process, multiple assembly lines often operate simultaneously. Obviously, the manual method of unloading and packaging boxes is not only inefficient, but also the batch production workshop leads to a large number of packaging personnel, which undoubtedly increases the investment in labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0007] Based on the above background, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a loading and unloading device for a medicine packaging box.

[0008] In order to achieve the above objectives, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A drug packaging box loading and unloading device, comprising a track, wherein the track is divided into a robot queuing area, a robot loading area, and a robot unloading area;

[0010] The medicine packaging box loading and unloading device also includes a plurality of robots located on the track;

[0011] The robot comprises a collecting mechanism for loading and unloading materials, and the robot also comprises a plurality of rolling mechanisms for rolling on the track, and the collecting mechanism is installed between the rolling mechanisms;

[0012] The rolling mechanism comprises a base, on which an inner contact wheel and an outer contact wheel are rotatably connected and contact the side walls on both sides of the track;

[0013] The base is fixedly assembled with a driving motor for driving the inner contact wheel and the outer contact wheel respectively;

[0014] The bottom of the base is connected with a supporting roller supported at the top of the track.

[0015] Preferably, the track includes an inner vertical track portion and an outer vertical track portion vertically arranged on left and right sides;

[0016] A connecting rail portion is welded between the inner vertical rail portion and the outer vertical rail portion, and the inner abutment wheel and the outer abutment wheel abut against the inner vertical rail portion and the outer vertical rail portion respectively;

[0017] The supporting roller is supported on the connecting rail portion.

[0018] Preferably, the collection mechanism comprises a collection seat, and a collection box is assembled and connected to the collection seat;

[0019] The bottom of the collecting seat is detachably assembled and connected with a plurality of connecting columns, and the connecting columns are respectively fixedly connected to the top position of the base.

[0020] Preferably, a plurality of mounting sleeves are fixedly connected to the bottom of the collecting seat, and the connecting posts are inserted into the mounting sleeves.

[0021] Preferably, a rectangular limiting hole is opened in the center of the collecting seat, and the collecting box is limited in the rectangular limiting hole.

[0022] Preferably, the left and right side walls of the collection box are respectively equipped with positioning components, through which the collection box is positioned in the rectangular limiting hole and detached from the rectangular limiting hole.

[0023] Preferably, the positioning assembly comprises a positioning cylinder, and a limiting seat for inserting a piston rod of the positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box;

[0024] When the empty collection box is placed in the rectangular limiting hole, the positioning cylinder inserts the piston rod into the limiting seat to position the collection box. When the collection box is loaded with a slow-moving medicine packaging box, the positioning cylinder disengages the piston rod from the limiting seat, and the collection box automatically disengages from the rectangular limiting hole.

[0025] Preferably, a cylinder frame for mounting a positioning cylinder is fixedly connected between the connecting columns;

[0026] The cylinder barrel of the positioning cylinder is fixedly mounted on the cylinder frame.

[0027] Preferably, both sides of the top of the collecting seat are fixedly connected with guide ramps corresponding to the collecting box;

[0028] The two sides of the material guide ramp are respectively fixedly connected with inclined baffles.

[0029] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. It is divided into a robot queuing area, a robot loading area and a robot unloading area through tracks. The above-mentioned drug packaging box loading and unloading device also includes a number of robots located on the track. The number of robots set corresponds to the number of production lines. For example, each production line is equipped with at least one unloading robot in the robot loading area (the packaging box enters the robot for robot loading), and another robot queues in the robot queuing area. Once the loading is completed, the queued robots immediately drive on the track to the discharge end of the production line equipment. The robot that has completed loading immediately enters the robot unloading area to unload the packaging box, and then re-enters the robot queuing area. The above method can achieve high efficiency in loading and unloading of packaging boxes.

[0031] 2. During the working process, the motors on each rolling mechanism work synchronously. During the working process, the inner and outer contact wheels rub against the track from both the inner and outer sides, and the robot moves smoothly under the action of friction power. At the same time, the supporting rollers support and roll on the connecting rails during the movement.

[0032] In the above-mentioned way, during the working process, the robot smoothly transports the loaded collection mechanism to the discharge end of the production line. After being fully loaded, it moves away smoothly and enters the unloading stage, and the next robot enters the unloading area again. This cycle is repeated, achieving very high production efficiency and greatly reducing labor costs.

[0033] 3. In the robot queuing area, the operator puts the idle collection box into the rectangular limit hole, keeps the mouth of the collection box flush with the top of the rectangular limit hole, then opens the positioning cylinder, inserts the positioning cylinder piston rod into the limit seat, and positions the collection box. Because the box mouth is limited in the rectangular limit hole, the box body is relatively stable. When the robot moves to the unloading position to unload the packaging box until the collection box is full, the robot continues to carry the collection box to the unloading area, and the random positioning cylinder disengages the piston rod from the limit seat, and the collection box automatically disengages from the rectangular limit hole. At this time, the collection box automatically falls onto the production equipment at the lower position. This method greatly improves the unloading efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a loading and unloading device for a medicine packaging box includes a track 1 (the shape of the track 1 is H-shaped, specifically, the track 1 includes an inner vertical track portion and an outer vertical track portion vertically arranged on the left and right sides; a connecting rail portion is welded between the inner vertical track portion and the outer vertical track portion).

[0046] The track 1 is divided into a robot queuing area A, a robot loading area B and a robot unloading area C. The above-mentioned drug packaging box loading and unloading device also includes a plurality of robots located on the track 1.

[0047] Specifically, the number of robots set corresponds to the number of production lines. For example, each production line has at least one robot 2 that is unloading materials, which is in the robot loading area B (the packaging box enters the robot 2 for loading by the robot 2), and another robot 2 is queued in the robot queuing area A. Once the loading is completed, the queued robot 2 immediately drives on the track 1 to the discharge end of the production line equipment. The robot 2 that has completed loading immediately enters the robot unloading area C to unload the packaging box, and then re-enters the robot queuing area A.

[0048] The above method can realize the loading and unloading of packaging boxes with higher efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, the robot 2 includes a collecting mechanism for loading and unloading materials. The robot 2 also includes four rolling mechanisms 25 for rolling on the track 1 (two rolling mechanisms 25 are arranged on each side, and distributed in a front-to-back manner on each side). The collecting mechanism is installed between the rolling mechanisms 25.

[0050] Specifically, the rolling mechanism 25 includes a base, on which an inner contact wheel 253 and an outer contact wheel 252 are rotatably connected to contact the side walls of the track 1; the inner contact wheel 253 and the outer contact wheel 252 contact the inner vertical rail part and the outer vertical rail part respectively. At the same time, the bottom of the base is equipped with a support roller 254 supported at the top position of the track 1. The support roller 254 is supported on the connecting rail part.

[0051] The base is fixedly assembled with a driving motor 251 for driving the inner contact wheel 253 and the outer contact wheel 252 respectively.

[0052] During the working process, the driving motor 251 on each rolling mechanism 25 works synchronously, and during the working process, the inner contact wheel 253 and the outer contact wheel 252 are rubbed against the track 1 from both the inner and outer sides, and under the action of friction power, the robot 2 can move smoothly. At the same time, during the movement, the supporting roller supports and rolls on the connecting rail.

[0053] In the working process realized by the above method, the robot 2 smoothly transports the loaded collection mechanism to the discharge end of the production line. After being fully loaded, it moves away smoothly and enters the unloading stage, and the next robot 2 enters the unloading area again. This cycle is repeated to achieve very high production efficiency and greatly reduce labor costs.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on the structure of Example 1, the collecting mechanism of this embodiment includes a collecting seat 21, on which a collecting box 22 is assembled and connected; the bottom of the collecting seat 21 is detachably assembled and connected with four connecting columns 211, and the connecting columns 211 are respectively fixedly connected to the top position of the base 21.

[0056] The specific method is as follows: a plurality of mounting sleeves are fixedly connected to the bottom of the collecting seat 21, and the connecting column 211 is inserted into the mounting sleeve (for easy replacement).

[0057] At the same time, a rectangular limiting hole is opened in the center of the collecting seat 21, and the collecting box 22 is limited in the rectangular limiting hole.

[0058] In order to facilitate unloading of the entire box after the collecting box 22 is loaded with materials, positioning components are respectively installed and connected to the left and right side walls of the collecting box 22. Through the positioning components, the collecting box 22 is positioned in the rectangular limiting hole and detached from the rectangular limiting hole.

[0059] The positioning assembly includes a positioning cylinder 24 (the positioning cylinder 24 is installed in the following manner: a cylinder frame 241 for installing the positioning cylinder 24 is fixedly connected between the connecting columns 211; the cylinder barrel of the positioning cylinder 24 is fixedly installed on the cylinder frame 241), and a limit seat 221 for inserting the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box 22.

[0060] In the robot 2 queuing area, the operator puts the idle collection box 22 into the rectangular limiting hole, keeps the mouth of the collection box 22 flush with the top of the rectangular limiting hole, then opens the positioning cylinder 24, inserts the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 24 into the limiting seat 221, and positions the collection box 22. Because the box mouth is limited in the rectangular limiting hole, the box body is relatively stable.

[0061] When the robot 2 moves to the unloading position to unload the packaging boxes until the collection box 22 is full, the robot 2 continues to carry the collection box 22 to the unloading area, and the random positioning cylinder 24 disengages the piston rod from the limit seat, and the collection box 22 automatically disengages from the rectangular limit hole. At this time, the collection box 22 automatically falls onto the production equipment at the lower position, such as a conveyor. The randomly idle robot 2 circulates again and enters the robot 2 queuing area (in the actual working process, the track 1 can be designed as an elliptical track 1 to allow the robot 2 to automatically enter the robot 2 queuing area, or manual intervention can be performed to move the robot 2 to the robot 2 queuing area).

[0062] In this way, the robot 2 is loaded into the packaging box and unloaded quickly into boxes, thereby greatly improving production efficiency.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the structure of the first embodiment, the two sides of the top of the collecting seat 21 are respectively fixedly connected with guide ramps 23 corresponding to the collecting box 22;

[0065] The two sides of the guide ramp 23 are respectively fixedly connected with oblique baffles. In actual operation, the packaging boxes can be collected in both directions, that is, the track 1 is arranged between two rows of production lines, so that the packaging boxes unloaded from the production lines on both sides slide from the guide ramps on both sides into the collection box 22 for collection.

[0066] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
