Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical production equipment technology, specifically to an automatic opening and dispensing device for powder injection vials. Background Technology

[0002] In the critical stages of sterile pharmaceutical production and quality inspection, the drugs to be processed need to be poured out for inactivation. However, in practice, due to the large number of vials (such as penicillin vials) processed in a single batch, manually opening the vials becomes a rather arduous and repetitive task.

[0003] Prolonged and frequent manual labor not only causes muscle strain and shoulder pain in operators, leading to a sharp increase in workload and decreased efficiency, but also poses significant safety hazards. Especially when opening glass containers, uneven force control, manufacturing stress on the container itself, or an overly tight cap can easily cause accidental breakage. Sharp glass shards can easily cut the operator's hands, causing physical injury. Furthermore, the glass fragments generated upon breakage can scatter, posing a threat to neighboring areas or other operators. This potential occupational injury risk, coupled with the heavy physical burden, not only affects personnel health and work efficiency but also introduces additional instability into the rigorous sterile production environment.

[0004] In addition, manual operation reduces overall work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an automatic opening and dispensing device for powder injection bottles.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic capping and dispensing device for powder injection vials includes a dial mechanism, a capping mechanism, and a bottle-flipping mechanism. The capping mechanism includes a capping rotary blade, the main body of which is a disc structure, and at least one set of blades is provided on the outer circumference of the disc structure. The capping rotary blade is connected to a rotary blade motor. The dial mechanism is located at the lower part of the capping rotary blade. The dial mechanism can convey vials to be opened to the lower part of the capping rotary blade and can convey vials after opening to the bottle-flipping mechanism.

[0008] The dial mechanism delivers the vial to be opened to the opening blade. Driven by the blade motor, the opening blade rotates horizontally, with one blade tangent to the top of the oncoming vial cap, removing the outer aluminum cap and the inner rubber stopper, thus opening the vial. Afterward, the dial mechanism delivers the opened vial to the bottle-flipping mechanism, which flips the vial so that the opening is facing down, allowing the powder inside to be poured out.

[0009] The dial mechanism includes a bottle feeding dial and a bottle neck dial. Both the bottle feeding dial and the bottle neck dial have several arc-shaped grooves for accommodating and positioning the vials. The diameter of the arc-shaped grooves on the bottle neck dial is smaller than that on the bottle feeding dial. A bottle feeding dial guard ring is provided on the outer side of the bottle feeding dial, and a bottle neck guard ring is connected to this guard ring. The bottle neck guard ring is positioned near the cap-opening rotary cutter, and its diameter is smaller than that of the bottle feeding dial guard ring. The bottle neck dial and bottle neck guard ring effectively position the vials when the cap-opening rotary cutter removes the bottle cap.

[0010] Both the bottle feeding dial and the bottle neck dial are connected to a dial motor, which drives them to rotate. The bottle feeding dial guard is fixedly mounted on the frame.

[0011] The bottle feeding disc guard ring is provided with an inlet channel and an outlet channel respectively. The outlet channel is connected to the conveyor rail, and the output end of the conveyor rail is a bottle tipping mechanism. The conveyor rail is fixedly mounted on the frame.

[0012] The bottle-flipping mechanism is used to flip the vial so that the opening faces downwards during forward movement, thereby discharging the internal powder. The bottle-flipping mechanism includes a bottle-flipping track, which comprises a continuously arranged flipping section, a horizontal section, and a recovery section. The flipping section includes an inclined track supporting the bottom of the vial, a limiting track restricting the upper part of the vial, and a supporting track supporting the vial body. The inclined track is inclined upwards along the conveying direction of the vial, thereby gradually lifting the bottom of the vial upwards; the supporting track is inclined downwards along the conveying direction of the vial, causing the vial body to gradually tilt downwards; both the limiting track and the supporting track are designed with an arc-shaped curved structure to provide space and limit the flipping of the vial.

[0013] The horizontal section of the vial-turning track includes a second limiting track that restricts the upper part of the vial and a second supporting track that supports the vial body. It also includes two guide tracks that restrict the vial neck. The second limiting track, the second supporting track, and the guide tracks are all horizontally positioned. The guide tracks are positioned lower than the second limiting track and the second supporting track.

[0014] The recovery section's bottle-turning track includes a limiting track three for restricting the upper part of the vial, a supporting track three for supporting the vial body, and an inclined track two for lifting the bottom of the vial. The limiting track three and the supporting track three are both inclined upwards along the vial's transport direction, while the inclined track two is inclined downwards along the vial's transport direction. This structure enables the vial to be restored to an upward-facing opening.

[0015] The bottle-flipping mechanism is installed on top of the powder-feeding funnel, allowing the powder to fall directly into the funnel.

[0016] The top of the powder-discharging funnel is also connected to a vibration motor, which is positioned near the horizontal section of the bottle-tilting track. The vibration generated by the motor helps the powder fall downwards and ensures that the vials are emptied completely.

[0017] The inlet channel of the bottle feeding dial guard ring is connected to the bottle feeding track, and a bottle feeding turntable is provided at the bottom of the bottle feeding track. The bottle feeding turntable rotates to push the vial to the bottle feeding track.

[0018] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0019] In this invention, the aluminum cap and rubber stopper are removed from the vial by the opening rotary knife, and then it is sent to the bottle-turning mechanism for powder dispensing. The whole process is automatic and requires no manual operation, realizing automated control. This not only ensures the safety of the staff, but also improves the overall operating efficiency and stability.

[0020] In addition, this utility model is equipped with a vibration motor to improve the efficiency of the powder pouring operation and ensure that the powder is poured cleanly and thoroughly. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Example:

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the automatic capping and powder dispensing device for powder injection vials includes a dial mechanism, a capping mechanism, and a bottle-flipping mechanism. The capping mechanism includes a capping rotary blade 4, the main body of which is a disc structure, and four sets of blades are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the disc structure. The blade structure is adapted to the cap structure of the vial 13 and has an arc-shaped cutting edge. The capping rotary blade 4 is connected to a rotary blade motor 5.

[0029] The dial mechanism is located at the lower part of the cap-opening rotary cutter 4. The dial mechanism can transport the vial 13 to be opened to the lower part of the cap-opening rotary cutter 4, and can also transport the opened vial 13 to the bottle-turning mechanism.

[0030] The dial mechanism includes a bottle feeding dial 11 and a bottle neck dial 6. Both the bottle feeding dial 11 and the bottle neck dial 6 have several arc-shaped grooves 12, which are used to accommodate and limit the movement of vials 13. The diameter of the arc-shaped grooves 12 on the bottle neck dial 6 is smaller than the diameter of the arc-shaped grooves 12 on the bottle feeding dial 11. A bottle feeding dial guard ring 3 is provided on the outer side of the bottle feeding dial 11, and a bottle neck guard ring 14 is connected to the bottle feeding dial guard ring 3. The bottle neck guard ring 14 is located near the cap-opening rotary cutter 4, and its diameter is smaller than that of the bottle feeding dial guard ring 3. The bottle neck dial 6 and the bottle neck guard ring 14 effectively position the vials 13 when the cap-opening rotary cutter 4 removes the bottle cap.

[0031] Both the bottle feeding dial 11 and the bottle neck dial 6 are connected to the dial motor, which drives them to rotate. The bottle feeding dial guard ring 3 is fixedly mounted on the frame 10.

[0032] The bottle feeding disc guard ring 3 is provided with an inlet channel 31 and an outlet channel 32. The outlet channel 32 is connected to the conveying rail 7, and the output end of the conveying rail 7 is a bottle tipping mechanism. The conveying rail 7 is fixedly mounted on the frame 10.

[0033] The bottle-flipping mechanism is used to flip the vial 13 so that its opening faces downward during forward movement, thereby pouring out the internal powder. The bottle-flipping mechanism includes a bottle-flipping track, which includes a continuously arranged flipping section, a horizontal section, and a recovery section. The flipping section of the bottle-flipping track includes an inclined track 153 that supports the bottom of the vial 13, a limiting track 151 that restricts the upper part of the vial 13, and a supporting track 152 that supports the body of the vial 13. The inclined track 153 is inclined upward along the conveying direction of the vial 13, thereby gradually lifting the bottom of the vial 13 upward; the supporting track 152 is inclined downward along the conveying direction of the vial 13, so that the body of the vial is gradually tilted downward; both the limiting track 151 and the supporting track 152 are set as arc-shaped curved structures to provide space and limit the flipping of the vial 13. The limiting track 151 can be set at the top and bottom of the vial 13 respectively.

[0034] The horizontal section of the bottle-turning track includes a second limiting track 161 that restricts the upper part of the vial 13 and a second supporting track 162 that supports the body of the vial 13 (not shown in the attached diagram, as it is obscured by the vial 13). It also includes two guide tracks 162 that restrict the neck of the vial 13. The second limiting track 161, the second supporting track, and the guide tracks 162 are all horizontally arranged. The guide tracks 162 are positioned lower than the second limiting track 161 and the second supporting track.

[0035] The recovery section's bottle-turning track includes a limiting track 3 171 that restricts the upper part of the vial 13, a supporting track 3 173 that supports the body of the vial 13, and an inclined track 2 172 that lifts the bottom of the vial 13. The limiting track 3 171 and the supporting track 3 173 are both inclined upwards along the conveying direction of the vial 13, while the inclined track 2 172 is inclined downwards along the conveying direction of the vial 13. This structure enables the vial 13 to be restored to an upward-facing opening. The limiting track 3 171 can be installed both above and below the vial 13.

[0036] The bottle-flipping mechanism is installed on top of the powder-feeding funnel 9, allowing the powder to fall directly into the funnel 9.

[0037] The top of the powder-discharging funnel 9 is also connected to a vibration motor 8, which is positioned near the horizontal section of the bottle-tilting track. The vibration generated by the vibration motor 8 helps the powder to fall downwards and ensures that the vial 13 is emptied completely.

[0038] The inlet channel 31 of the bottle feeding disc guard ring 3 is connected to the bottle feeding track 2. A bottle feeding turntable 1 is provided at the lower part of the bottle feeding track 2. The bottle feeding turntable 1 rotates to push the vial 13 onto the bottle feeding track 2. A toggle spring is provided on the bottle feeding turntable 1 to guide the movement of the vial 13. A rotary motor is connected to the bottom of the bottle feeding turntable 1 to drive its rotation. The structure of the bottle feeding turntable 1 and the bottle feeding track 2 is a conventional structure in the pharmaceutical manufacturing field and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] A large number of vials 13 are placed on the upper part of the bottle feeding turntable 1. As the bottle feeding turntable 1 rotates, vials 13 continuously enter the bottle feeding track 2. The vials 13 move forward one after another and then enter the inlet channel 31 of the bottle feeding dial guard ring 3. Afterwards, the arc groove 12 on the bottle feeding dial 11 and the bottle neck dial 6 simultaneously drive a vial 13 to rotate toward the position of the cap opening rotary knife 4.

[0041] When the vial 13 to be opened is sent to the position of the opening rotary blade 4, one set of blades is tangent to the top of the cap of the vial 13 coming from the opposite direction, removing the outer aluminum cap of the vial 13 while the inner rubber stopper is also taken out. The top of the bottle inlet dial is equipped with a bottle neck dial 6, and the top of the bottle delivery dial guard ring 3 is equipped with a bottle neck guard ring 14, which effectively positions the vial 13 when the opening rotary blade 4 removes the cap.

[0042] After the aluminum cap and rubber stopper of the vial 13 are removed, the vial feeding dial 11 conveys the vial 13 to the conveying track 7, which then conveys it to the bottle-turning mechanism. On the bottle-turning track of the bottle-turning mechanism, due to the pushing from the rear, the vial 13 moves forward continuously. At the same time, guided by the inverting section of the bottle-turning track, the vial 13 flips to a state where the opening is tilted downwards, and this state is maintained under the limit of the horizontal section of the bottle-turning track. Meanwhile, the vibration motor 8 generates a vibration effect, vibrating the powder inside the vial 13 into the powder discharge funnel 9. Afterwards, in the recovery section of the bottle-turning track, the vial 13 returns to an upward-facing opening and enters the subsequent collection structure.

[0043] Throughout the entire operation, no manual operation is required, and automated control can be achieved.
