[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. Under the conveying of the first feeding screw of the present utility model, the medicine bottles enter the feeding gap between the vertical baffle and the first feeding screw in a vertical state and are sent to the feeding end of the second feeding screw from the feeding gap between the vertical baffle and the first feeding screw. A first arc-shaped baffle is arranged on the side of the second feeding screw away from the vertical baffle. A first arc surface that gradually changes from vertical to horizontal is arranged on the side of the first arc-shaped baffle close to the second feeding screw, so that the medicine bottles can be changed from a vertical state to a horizontal state, which is more convenient for the medicine bottles to be horizontally and stably conveyed on the first conveyor.

[0017] 2. Under the negative pressure suction of the first negative pressure suction holes, the medicine bottles from the first conveyor can be effectively adsorbed and grasped, making the transfer of the medicine bottles from the first conveyor to the second conveyor with a height difference more stable. After the medicine bottles on the conveyor complete the printing operation, they enter the feeding gap between the first turntable and the first guiding plate. The medicine bottles stuck in the first grooves of the first turntable are negatively pressure adsorbed and, under the guiding action of the first guiding plate, smoothly fall onto the second conveyor, thus completing the stable transfer of the medicine bottles between the first conveyor and the second conveyor with a height difference.

[0018] 3. When the first detection mechanism in the front detects that the medicine bottles with unqualified printing are transported to the second turntable along with the second conveyor, the negative pressure suction action of the second negative pressure suction holes on the second turntable is utilized, and in cooperation with the rotation of the second turntable, they are sent into the feeding gap between the second turntable and the second guiding plate, thus effectively grasping the medicine bottles with printing problems.

[0019] 4. The second turntable horizontally sends the medicine bottles with printing problems to the feeding end of the third feeding screw. Along with the rotation of the third feeding screw and in cooperation with the guiding of the second arc-shaped baffle, the medicine bottles are gradually adjusted from the horizontal state to the upright state. Through the rotational conveyance of the third turntable, the medicine bottles are sent from the discharge port of the third guiding plate into the storage tray for centralized storage.

[0020] 5. When the second detection mechanism detects that the number of medicine bottles in the box tray on the third conveyor is short or excessive, after the box tray is conveyed to the dialing mechanism, the rotating wheel drives the rotating belt to rotate, and the box tray is sent to the fourth conveyor through the dialing port by the dialing piece. Then, the fourth conveyor conveys the box tray with loading problems to the recycling and processing station for centralized processing.

[0021] 6. By driving the first lead screw to rotate with the first motor, the vertical adjustment frame, the horizontal adjustment frame and the corresponding mechanism can be adjusted to move up and down. By driving the second lead screw to rotate with the second motor, the horizontal adjustment frame and the corresponding mechanism can be adjusted to move back and forth in the horizontal direction. Thus, the device can effectively adjust the corresponding transmission and transfer mechanisms according to the processing and use of different models of medicine bottles, enabling the device to adapt to the printing and tray loading production of different models of medicine bottles. At the same time, the adjustment is more convenient and the use is more convenient. Description of the Drawings

[0031] The principles and features of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present utility model and do not limit the scope of use of the present utility model.

[0032] As Figures 1-9 shown, the present utility model provides a medicine bottle printing and palletizing device, which includes a transmission mechanism, a printing mechanism 32 and a detection and rejection mechanism installed on a frame 1. The transmission mechanism includes a horizontally arranged first conveyor 3 and a second conveyor 4. The printing mechanism 32 is arranged above the first conveyor 3. The first conveyor 3 adopts a chain conveyor, and the medicine bottles are horizontally supported and placed between two adjacent chain rods above the chain conveyor. The printing mechanism 32 can perform printing operations on the bottle bodies of the medicine bottles on the chain conveyor.

[0033] The feeding end of the first conveyor 3 is connected to the loading mechanism. The loading mechanism includes a loading conveyor belt 21, a first feeding screw 22 and a second feeding screw 24 mounted on the first housing 20. The medicine bottles are placed upright on the loading conveyor belt 21 and conveyed forward to the position of the first feeding screw 22. The first feeding screw 22 is horizontally installed perpendicular to the feeding direction of the loading conveyor belt 21 at the discharging port of the loading conveyor belt 21. The second feeding screw 24 is arranged side by side with the first feeding screw 22 and the head and tail are correspondingly arranged. A vertical baffle 201 is provided on one side of the discharging end of the first feeding screw 22. The discharging end of the second feeding screw 24 is connected to the feeding end of the first conveyor 3 through the discharging port under the first housing 20. Under the conveyance of the first feeding screw 22, the medicine bottles enter the feeding gap between the vertical baffle 201 and the first feeding screw 22 in a vertical state, and are fed into the feeding end of the second feeding screw 24 from the feeding gap between the vertical baffle 201 and the first feeding screw 22. A first arc-shaped baffle 23 is provided on the side of the second feeding screw 24 away from the vertical baffle 201. An inclined guiding arc surface that gradually changes from vertical to horizontal is provided on the side of the first arc-shaped baffle 23 close to the second feeding screw 24, so that the medicine bottles can be changed from a vertical state to a horizontal and laid-down state, which is more convenient for the medicine bottles to be horizontally and stably conveyed on the first conveyor 3.

[0034] The first conveyor 3 is higher than the second conveyor 4 in height. The discharging end of the first conveyor 3 is connected to the feeding end of the second conveyor 4 through the first transfer mechanism. Among them, the second conveyor 4 also adopts a chain conveyor. Specifically, the first transfer mechanism includes a first guiding plate 33 and a first flower plate 31. A plurality of arc-shaped first grooves 311 are equidistantly arranged on the circumferential surface of the first flower plate 31, and first negative pressure suction holes 3111 communicated with an external negative pressure air source are provided in the first grooves 311. Under the negative pressure suction action of the first negative pressure suction holes 3111, the medicine bottles from the first conveyor 3 can be effectively adsorbed and grabbed, making the transfer and conveyance of the medicine bottles from the first conveyor 3 to the second conveyor 4 with a height difference more stable. The first flower plate 31 driven by power rotates vertically and is installed at the tail of the first conveyor 3 and above the feeding end of the second conveyor 4. The rotation of the first flower plate 31 is linked and coordinated with the feeding speeds of the first conveyor 3, the second conveyor 4, the first feeding screw 22 and the second feeding screw 24 and other conveying devices, so as to realize the stable conveyance of the medicine bottles.

[0035] The first material guiding plate 33 is installed under the tail of the first conveyor 3. The first material guiding plate 33 is provided with a first material guiding arc surface that cooperates with the first turntable 31. Above the material conveying gap between the first turntable 31 and the first material guiding plate 33, the discharging end of the first conveyor 3 is received, and below it, the feeding end of the second conveyor is connected. After the medicine bottles on the conveyor complete the printing operation, the medicine bottles enter the material conveying gap between the first turntable 31 and the first material guiding plate 33. The medicine bottles stuck in the first groove 311 of the first turntable 31 are stably adsorbed by negative pressure. Under the guiding action of the first material guiding plate 33, they smoothly fall onto the second conveyor 4, thus completing the smooth transfer and conveying of the medicine bottles between the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 with a height difference.

[0036] The detection and rejection mechanism includes a medicine bottle detection and rejection mechanism and a box support detection and rejection mechanism. The medicine bottle detection and rejection mechanism includes a first detection mechanism 43 for detecting the printing condition of the medicine bottles and a first rejection mechanism 44 for rejecting the printed waste medicine bottles. The first detection mechanism 43 and the first rejection mechanism 44 are sequentially arranged above the second conveyor 4 along the material conveying direction. The first detection mechanism 43 adopts an existing vision detection device.

[0037] A bottle arranging mechanism 41 and a third detecting mechanism 42 for detecting the height of medicine bottles are also installed on the second conveyor 4. Along the conveying direction of the second conveyor 4, the bottle arranging mechanism 41 and the third detecting mechanism 42 are sequentially arranged in front of the first detecting mechanism 43. Specifically, the third detecting mechanism includes a detecting frame 421, a slide rail 422, a top block 424, a detector and a tension spring 425. The detecting frame 421 is installed on the frame 1. The slide rail 422 is horizontally installed on the detecting frame 421. A moving frame 423 is horizontally slidably arranged on the slide rail 422. The moving frame 423 includes a first moving plate 4231, a second moving plate 4232 and a third moving plate 4233. The first moving plate 4231 is of an L-shaped structure. The vertical part of the first moving plate 4231 is horizontally slidably installed on the slide rail 422. The second moving plate 4232 is adjustably installed on the horizontal part of the first moving plate 4231 in the front-back direction. The third moving plate 4233 is adjustably installed on the second moving plate 4232 in the up-down direction. The top block 424 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the third moving plate 4233. An inclined surface matching with the medicine bottles on the second conveyor 4 is arranged on the bottom surface of the top block 424. Both ends of the tension spring 425 are horizontally fixedly connected to the moving frame 423 and the detecting frame 421 respectively, and are used for resetting the moving frame 423 and the top block 424. The detector includes a photoelectric detection component 427 and a baffle 426. One end of the baffle 426 is fixedly connected to the first moving plate 4231, and the other end is matched with the photoelectric detection component 427 installed on the detecting frame 421. When the medicine bottles are normally conveyed on the second conveyor 4, they are located between two adjacent link rods and the height is lower than the top block 424 above the second conveyor 4, and can pass through below the third detecting mechanism 42. When problems such as bottle skipping occur, the height of the problematic medicine bottles will be higher than the bottom of the top block 424. As the second conveyor 4 conveys forward, the problematic medicine bottles will move horizontally against the top block 424 through the inclined surface below the top block 424, thereby driving the moving frame 423 to act, so that the baffle 426 on the moving frame 423 is separated from the photoelectric detection component 427, and then it is detected that the height of this medicine bottle is abnormal, and the equipment stops in time to ensure that the medicine bottles can pass stably from the first waste kicking mechanism and operate effectively, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of medicine bottle breaking accidents.

[0038] The bottle arranging mechanism 41 includes a bottle arranging and positioning plate 411 horizontally arranged above the second conveyor 4 near the bottom side of the medicine bottles, which is used for positioning and arranging the medicine bottles conveyed on the second conveyor 4. The bottle arranging and positioning plate 411 is adjustably installed on the frame 1 through corresponding adjusting plates 412 in the front-back direction, and the tail of the bottle arranging and positioning plate 411 inclines at a certain angle towards the middle of the second conveyor 4 along the conveying direction of the second conveyor 4. Under the guiding action of the inclined bottle arranging and positioning plate 411, the medicine bottles on the second conveyor 4 can be effectively sorted and positioned to make them more orderly, so that the subsequent medicine bottle printing and detection are more accurate, and it is also more convenient for the subsequent medicine bottles to be effectively put into the tray and boxed.

[0039] The first kicking and discarding mechanism 44 includes a second conveying and transferring mechanism, a third feeding screw 444 and a third chuck 446. The second conveying and transferring mechanism includes a second chuck 441 and a second guide plate 442. The power-driven second chuck 441 is vertically and rotatably installed above the second conveyor 4. A plurality of arc-shaped second grooves 4410 are equidistantly arranged on the circumferential surface of the second chuck 441. Second negative pressure suction holes connected to an external negative pressure air source are provided in the second grooves 4410. The second guide plate 442 is arranged on the side of the second chuck 441 and is provided with a second guide arc surface that cooperates with the second chuck 441. The lower part of the second groove 4410 of the second chuck 441 cooperates with the medicine bottles on the second conveyor 4. When the first detection mechanism 43 in front detects that a medicine bottle with unqualified printing is conveyed to the second chuck 441 by the second conveyor 4, the negative pressure suction action of the second negative pressure suction holes on the second chuck 441 is used, and the rotation of the second chuck 441 is coordinated to send it into the feeding gap between the second chuck 441 and the second guide plate 442, so as to effectively grasp the medicine bottle with printing problems.

[0040] The third feeding screw 444 installed in the second housing 443 is horizontally arranged above the second chuck 441. A second arc-shaped baffle 445 is provided on the side of the third feeding screw 444. An inclined guide arc surface that gradually changes from horizontal to vertical is provided on the side of the second arc-shaped baffle 445 close to the third feeding screw 444, which is used to change the medicine bottle from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The feeding end of the feeding gap between the third feeding screw 444 and the second arc-shaped baffle 445 is connected to the discharging end of the feeding gap between the second chuck 441 and the second guide plate 442 above. The power-driven third chuck 446 is horizontally and rotatably installed at the tail of the third feeding screw 444. A third guide plate 447 is provided on the outer periphery of the third chuck 446. The feeding port on the third guide plate 447 is connected to the discharging end of the feeding gap between the third feeding screw 444 and the second arc-shaped baffle 445, and the discharging port on the third guide plate 447 is connected to the storage tray 448. The second chuck 441 horizontally sends the medicine bottle with printing problems to the feeding end of the third feeding screw 444. As the third feeding screw 444 rotates and cooperates with the guiding of the second arc-shaped baffle 445, the medicine bottle is gradually adjusted from a horizontal state to a vertical state. Through the rotational conveyance of the third chuck 446, the medicine bottle is sent into the storage tray 448 from the discharging port of the third guide plate 447 for centralized storage. This device conveys the printed medicine bottles through the second conveying and transferring mechanism, the third feeding screw 444 and the third chuck 446 and other structures, so that it changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The upright placement of the medicine bottles is more convenient for storage and subsequent transfer. Moreover, the medicine bottles with printing problems are centrally stored in the storage tray 448, which is more conducive to subsequent recycling and treatment.

[0041] Below the discharge end of the second conveyor 4, there is a tray loading mechanism 5. The discharge end of the tray loading mechanism 5 is connected to a third conveyor 61. The tray loading mechanism 5 includes a box tray conveyor, which is horizontally installed below the second conveyor 4. The discharge port below the tail of the second conveyor 4 is correspondingly arranged with the box trays on the box tray conveyor. The box trays are smoothly conveyed forward on the box tray conveyor. Cooperating with the orderly downward blanking at the discharge port of the second conveyor 4, the medicine bottles can fall into the troughs of the box trays one by one, thus completing the efficient tray loading operation of the medicine bottles.

[0042] In addition, a tray shifting mechanism for shifting the box trays is provided on the tray loading mechanism 5 of the present device. Among them, the tray shifting mechanism can be that a plurality of shifting blocks are fixedly arranged at equal intervals along the length direction on the belt surface of the box tray conveyor. The box trays are placed on the box tray conveyor between adjacent shifting blocks. By controlling the movement or pause of the belt surface and the shifting blocks of the box tray conveyor, and cooperating with the coordinated actions of mechanisms such as the second conveyor 4 and the first waste kicking mechanism 44, the medicine bottles are loaded into the trays or the box trays are stopped relative to the medicine bottles on the second conveyor 4 by one or more workstations, thereby realizing the function of compensating for missing pieces.

[0043] Since the medicine bottles on the second conveyor 4 of the present application and the troughs of the box trays on the lower box tray conveyor are in one-to-one correspondence, when the first waste kicking mechanism 44 kicks out the medicine bottles with unqualified printing on the second conveyor 4, there will be a missing piece phenomenon among the continuously conveyed medicine bottles on the second conveyor 4, which is not corresponding to the troughs of the lower box trays. At this time, by controlling the movement of the box tray conveyor, the box trays are correspondingly stopped by one or more workstations, and the effective correspondence filling between the troughs of the box trays and the medicine bottle conveying can be realized.

[0044] The box tray detection and waste kicking mechanism includes a second detection mechanism 71 for detecting the situation of medicine bottle tray loading and a second waste kicking mechanism 72 for kicking out the box trays with wrong loading. The second detection mechanism 71 and the second waste kicking mechanism 72 are sequentially arranged above the third conveyor 61 along the material conveying direction. The second detection mechanism 71 also adopts a visual detection device. The second waste kicking mechanism 72 includes a fourth conveyor 62 and a material dialing mechanism. The fourth conveyor 62 is arranged side by side on one side of the third conveyor 61. There is a material dialing port 60 between the fourth conveyor 62 and the third conveyor 61. The material dialing mechanism includes a rotating belt 722, two rotating wheels 721 and a plurality of dialing pieces 7221. The power-driven rotating wheels 721 are installed on the brackets above the material dialing port 60. The rotating belt 722 is installed perpendicular to the material conveying direction of the third conveyor 61 on the rotating wheels 721. The dialing pieces 7221 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the rotating belt 722. Among them, the rotating belt 722 and the rotating wheels 721 can adopt the structure of a belt and a pulley. Both the fourth conveyor 62 and the third conveyor 61 adopt belt conveyors. In addition, the distance between adjacent two dialing pieces 7221 is greater than the width of the box tray, so that the box trays with qualified loading can effectively pass through the gaps between the dialing pieces 7221 and be sent to the next process.

[0045] When the second detection mechanism 71 detects that the number of medicine bottles in the box tray on the third conveyor 61 is short or excessive, after the box tray is conveyed to the dialing mechanism, the rotating wheel 721 drives the rotating belt 722 to rotate, and the box tray is sent to the fourth conveyor 62 through the dialing port 60 by the dial 7221. Then, the fourth conveyor 62 conveys the box tray with loading problems to the recycling and processing station for centralized processing.

[0046] Above the tail of the third conveyor 61, there is a bottle pressing mechanism 8 for pressing the medicine bottles into the card slots of the box tray. The bottle pressing mechanism 8 includes a bottle pressing roller, and the bottle pressing roller is vertically rotatably installed at a certain height above the third conveyor 61. The bottle pressing roller can press the medicine bottles that are not completely placed in the card slots of the box tray downward completely, thereby ensuring the quality of the medicine bottles entering the tray.

[0047] The third conveyor 61 and the fourth conveyor 62 are installed on the frame 1 in a vertically and horizontally adjustable manner through the first adjustment mechanism; the second detection mechanism 71 and the second waste kicking mechanism 72 can be adjusted and actuated together with the third conveyor 61 and the fourth conveyor 62. Among them, the first adjustment mechanism includes a vertical adjustment frame 91 and a horizontal adjustment frame 92. The vertical adjustment frame 91 is of an L-shaped design. The vertical adjustment frame 91 is slidably installed on the frame 1 up and down. On the frame 1, a first lead screw 93 connected to the power of the first motor is vertically installed. The vertical part of the vertical adjustment frame 91 is threadedly sleeved on the first lead screw 93, and the corresponding mechanism is installed on the horizontal adjustment frame 92. The bottom of the horizontal adjustment frame 92 is horizontally slidably installed on the horizontal part of the vertical adjustment frame 91. On the horizontal part of the vertical adjustment frame 91, a second lead screw 94 connected to the power of the second motor is installed in the front-back direction. The horizontal adjustment frame 92 is threadedly sleeved on the second lead screw 94. By driving the first lead screw 93 to rotate by the first motor, the vertical adjustment frame 91, the horizontal adjustment frame 92 and the corresponding mechanism can be adjusted up and down. By driving the second lead screw 94 to rotate by the second motor, the horizontal adjustment frame 92 and the corresponding mechanism can be adjusted back and forth in the horizontal direction, so that the device can effectively adjust the corresponding transmission and transfer mechanisms according to the processing and use of different models of medicine bottles, enabling the device to adapt to the printing and tray loading production of different models of medicine bottles, and at the same time, the adjustment is more convenient and the use is more convenient.

[0048] The first transmission and transfer mechanism and the first waste kicking mechanism 44 are installed on the frame 1 in a vertically adjustable manner. Specifically, in implementation, the first transmission and transfer mechanism and the first waste kicking mechanism 44 are installed on the corresponding moving modules on the frame. The moving modules are slidably installed on the frame 1 up and down. On the frame 1, electric lead screws corresponding to different moving modules are also vertically installed. The moving modules are threadedly sleeved on the corresponding electric lead screws. By controlling the rotation of the corresponding electric lead screws, the first transmission and transfer mechanism or the first waste kicking mechanism 44 can be driven by the corresponding moving modules to adjust up and down as a whole, so that the installation and debugging of the device are more convenient and can adapt to the processing and use of different models of medicine bottles.

[0049] When the utility model is used, the feeding conveyor belt 21 feeds the medicine bottles in an upright state, and through the cooperation of the first feeding screw 22, the second feeding screw 24 and the first arc-shaped baffle 23, the medicine bottles are transferred from the upright state to the horizontal state and sent to the first conveyor 3. After being printed by the printing mechanism 32, the medicine bottles are smoothly conveyed to the second conveyor 4 with a height difference through the first transfer mechanism; the medicine bottles conveyed on the second conveyor 4 will pass through the first detection mechanism 43 to detect the printing condition on the medicine bottles. For the medicine bottles with unqualified printing, they are grabbed by the action at the second turntable 441, and then through the guiding of the third feeding screw 444 and the second arc-shaped baffle 445, the medicine bottles with printing problems are gradually adjusted from the horizontal state to the upright state and sent into the storage tray 448 through the third turntable 446 for centralized storage, while the other medicine bottles with qualified printing are sent to the tray loading mechanism 5 for tray loading. The box trays with medicine bottles will pass through the second detection mechanism 71 after being sent to the third conveyor 61 to detect whether there are too many or too few bottles. The qualified box trays are sent to the next process by the third conveyor 61, while the unqualified box trays will be sent to the fourth conveyor 62 through the action of the dialing piece 7221 of the dialing mechanism, and the fourth conveyor 62 will send them to the recycling and processing station for centralized processing.
