[0019] Urea [ 14 C] The automatic packaging line 10 for breath test medicine boxes, which is in a stacked state and not filled with medicine, is opened and coded by the box opening and coding mechanism 103, and then the medicine boxes with unqualified coding are rejected at the camera detection and rejection mechanism 104, and the gas collector, concentrated scintillation liquid and capsule are respectively loaded into the medicine box by the visual depalletizing and boxing mechanism 105, and then the instruction manual and the air blowing tube are sequentially put into the medicine box, and the packed medicine box is weighed, so as to facilitate the controller in the first control box 101 to judge whether the medicine box is packed correctly, and select the corresponding unqualified product detection method according to the judgment result, and the medicine box is weighed and sealed by the dispensing and sealing machine. The box is sealed at the mechanism 109 and receives the label attached by the labeling mechanism 110. The labeled medicine boxes are grabbed by the robot arm of the palletizer 202 and put into the stacking plate 203 and stacked. At this point, the whole packaging process of the medicine boxes is completed. In this process, no or only a small amount of manual participation is required, which greatly improves the packaging efficiency of the medicine boxes and reduces the packaging cost of the medicine boxes. Moreover, through the camera detection and rejection mechanism 104 and the weighing machine 108, the coding and boxing results can be monitored in real time respectively, and unqualified products can be detected, which reduces the number of unqualified products in the packaged products, improves the yield rate of the packaging operation, and is conducive to improving the market competitiveness of the products.

[0020] The medicine box packaging unit 100 is used to sequentially open the medicine box, print the code, scan the code to reject, pack the medicine box, weigh, seal the medicine box with glue and label the medicine box, so as to realize the packaging operation of the medicine box. Among them, the box opening and coding mechanism 103 is used to open the medicine box in the folded state and print the three-phase information on the medicine box, so as to facilitate the numbering and packing of the medicine box, which is beneficial for the manufacturer to master the production capacity of the packaging line, and is also beneficial for the manufacturer or consumer to trace the source of the product according to the code, so as to protect the rights of consumers and promote the safe and standardized management of medicines. Please refer to Figure 4In one embodiment, the box opening and coding mechanism 103 includes a box opener 103a and a laser coding machine 103b. The output end of the box opener 103a is connected to the input end of the conveyor belt 102. The box opener 103a is used to open the unpackaged medicine box and feed the medicine box into the conveyor belt 102. The laser coding machine 103b is installed on one side of the conveyor belt 102 and is used to print a code on the outer surface of the medicine box. The carton opening machine 103a is also called a carton forming machine. It folds the bottom of the carton according to a certain procedure, seals it with tape, and then delivers it to the special equipment to be packed. The carton opening machine 103a mainly consists of a carton loading mechanism, a main frame, a vacuum suction box, a main transmission, a box board lifting mechanism, a rocker box feeding mechanism, a carton opening mechanism, a height adjustment mechanism, a carton short side folding mechanism, a carton long side closing and shaping mechanism, a box push fork, a carton guide rail, a compaction ram and a hot melt adhesive system, a pneumatic control system, an electrical control system, etc. It controls the folding and unpacking operation of the carton through a PLC human-machine interface, which reduces the difficulty of unpacking the carton and improves the unpacking efficiency, thereby helping to improve the production efficiency of the medicine box. The laser coding machine 103b is also called a laser inkjet printer. It focuses the laser at a very high energy density on the surface of the object to be marked, vaporizes the surface material through burning and etching, and accurately burns the pattern or text by controlling the effective displacement of the laser beam. The laser coding machine 103b does not require consumables, is easy to maintain, improves coding efficiency, avoids environmental pollution caused by ink jet coding, and improves the safety of the operation. It should be noted that the box opener 103a and the laser coding machine 103b used in this embodiment are both common models on the market. Since the structural structure and working principle of the box opener 103a and the laser coding machine 103b are common knowledge in the field of mechanical production and processing, the specific structure and working process of the box opener 103a and the laser coding machine 103b are not described in detail here. It is only necessary that the box opener 103a used can realize the box opening operation of the medicine box, and the laser coding machine 103b used can realize the coding operation on the surface of the medicine box, and no further description is given here.

[0021] It should be noted that during the operation of the box opening and coding mechanism 103, the laser printer transmits the printed code sequence information to the first control box 101, so that the system can memorize the print quantity and sequence, and the first control box 101 can make a judgment on the code information transmitted by the camera detection and rejection mechanism 104 according to the corresponding code sequence, thereby controlling the action of the camera detection and rejection mechanism 104.

[0022] Please read further Figure 4In one embodiment, the camera detection and rejection mechanism 104 includes a camera 104a and a compressed air cylinder 104b. The camera 104a and the compressed air cylinder 104b are arranged on the same side of the conveyor belt 102 and are electrically connected to the first control box 101 respectively. The camera 104a is used to obtain image information on the surface of the medicine box and transmit the image information to the first control box 101. The compressed air cylinder 104b receives the instruction of the first control box 101 and sends compressed air to the uncoded medicine box to reject the uncoded medicine box. Specifically, after the first control box 101 receives the image information transmitted by the camera 104a, it identifies the code content in the image information. When there is no code in the image information or the code does not match the sequence information transmitted by the laser coder, the first control box 101 controls the compressed air cylinder 104b to operate and blows compressed air to the corresponding medicine box. In this way, the medicine box with invalid code immediately falls from the conveyor belt 102, thereby achieving the purpose of rejecting the wrongly labeled or missing medicine boxes. In actual production, a storage box can be set on the side of the conveyor belt 102 opposite to the compression cylinder 104b to receive the wrongly labeled or missing label medicine boxes dropped from the conveyor belt 102, so as to facilitate centralized and unified processing of unqualified cartons.

[0023] The visual depalletizing and boxing mechanism 105 is used to depalletize the stacked gas collecting bags and place them one by one into the medicine boxes on the conveyor belt 102 to realize the loading of the medicine boxes. The visual depalletizing and boxing mechanism 105 of the present invention is a common 3D visual depalletizing system on the market, which transmits the image signal to the depalletizing robot through a 3D visual device, and the depalletizing robot further controls the action of the visual displacement mechanism to grab the material to be transferred. The basic structure and working principle of the 3D visual depalletizing system belong to the common knowledge in the technical field. For example, the invention patent with application number CN201810349886.9 and name “A 3D visual carton depalletizing system” can be referred to for a specific description of the principle and structure of the 3D visual depalletizing system. Of course, the 3D visual depalletizing system adopted by the present invention is not limited to the structure and working principle disclosed in the patent, but can also be other types of 3D visual depalletizing systems on the market, which will not be repeated here.

[0024] The capsule conveyor belt 106 is used to transport the capsules to the conveying area of ​​the conveyor belt 102, and finally drop them into the corresponding medicine box to realize the box setting of the capsules. During the conveying process of the capsules, it is necessary to ensure that the moving speed of the conveyor belt 102 is coordinated with the moving speed of the capsule conveyor belt 106, that is, to make the conveying frequency of the capsules consistent with the conveying frequency of the medicine box, so as to facilitate the capsules to fall into the medicine box accurately, thereby ensuring the reliability of the capsule delivery operation. In actual production, the horizontal height of the input end of the capsule conveyor belt 106 can be made slightly higher than the horizontal height of the output end of the capsule conveyor belt 106. In other words, the capsule conveyor belt 106 has a certain inclination angle, so that the capsules move relative to the capsule conveyor belt 106 after being placed on the capsule conveyor belt 106, reducing the power of capsule delivery, thereby reducing the packaging cost.

[0025] The accessory delivery mechanism 107 is used to sequentially deliver the instruction manual and the air blow tube into the medicine box. It should be noted that, since the air blow tube is relatively soft and has a relatively large surface roughness, the friction between the air blow tube and the mechanical surface is relatively large during delivery, which may cause the delivery of the air blow tube to fail. Therefore, in actual production, a dedicated operator may be assigned to deliver the air blow tube into the medicine box. Of course, if production conditions permit, a mechanical gripper may be used to grab the air blow tube into the medicine box to ensure production efficiency.

[0026] The weighing machine 108 is used to weigh the weight of the medicine box after loading, so as to control the quality of the medicine box loading. In one embodiment, the weighing machine 108 adopts a Mettler weighing instrument. When the weighing value of the medicine box is greater than or less than the standard medicine box weight value set in the Mettler weighing instrument, the Mettler weighing instrument reports an error, and transmits the error information to the first control box 101 in the form of an electrical signal, so as to facilitate the first control box 101 to control the extension equipment, such as an alarm to warn the operator to respond to the error in time, or to use other methods to remove the medicine box with missing, wrong or overloaded medicine.

[0027] Furthermore, a first electric push rod 112 is provided between the weighing machine 108 and the dispensing and sealing mechanism 109. The first electric push rod 112 is installed on one side of the conveyor belt 102 and is electrically connected to the first control box 101. The first electric push rod 112 receives the instruction of the first control box 101 and pushes out the medicine boxes with unqualified quality. Specifically, when the weight of the medicine box weighed by the weighing machine 108 is inconsistent with the weight set by the system, that is, there is a situation where the air collecting bag, capsule, instruction manual or air blowing tube is missing or overfilled in the medicine box, in this case, the weighing machine 108 reports an error to the first control box 101, and the first control box 101 further controls the action of the first electric push rod 112 and removes the unqualified medicine box from the conveyor belt 102. Of course, in actual production, a receiving member, such as an inclined material guide track or a padded receiving box, can be provided on the side of the conveyor belt 102 opposite to the first electric push rod 112 to receive medicine boxes that fail to be labeled properly, thereby preventing the medicine boxes from being damaged due to impact when they fall to the ground, thereby reducing product losses during the packaging process, reducing product production costs and enhancing product market competitiveness.

[0028] The barcode scanning detection and rejection mechanism 111 is used to detect the labeled medicine boxes to prevent the barcode printed on the outer surface of the medicine boxes from being blurred or the spacing between adjacent medicine boxes from being too small, causing a large number of medicine boxes to accumulate at the output end of the conveyor belt 102, thereby affecting the effective implementation of the medicine box packaging operation. In one embodiment, the barcode scanning detection and rejection mechanism 111 includes a scanning sensor 111a and a second electric push rod 111b, and the scanning sensor 111a and the second electric push rod 111b are respectively arranged on the side of the conveyor belt 102, for example, the scanning sensor 111a and the second electric push rod 111b are respectively arranged on the same side or the opposite side of the conveyor belt 102, and the scanning sensor 111a and the second electric push rod 111b are respectively electrically connected to the second control box 201. When the conveyor belt 102 transports the labeled medicine box to the scanning range of the scanning sensor 111a, the scanning sensor 111a scans the barcode on the surface of the medicine box and transmits the scanning information to the second control box 201. If the scanning sensor 111a fails to scan the barcode, the scanning sensor 111a will report an error to the second control box 201. The second control box 201 will determine that the barcode on the surface of the medicine box is not clearly printed or the distance between adjacent medicine boxes is too small, resulting in the barcode being blocked. In this way, the second control box 201 further controls the second electric push rod 111b to move, so as to push the medicine box to the side of the conveyor belt 102, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting medicine boxes with unclear barcodes or blocked barcodes.

[0029] The stacking unit 200 is used to grab the finished medicine boxes produced by the medicine box packaging unit 100 and stack the finished medicine boxes to facilitate the storage and transportation of the medicine boxes. Specifically, when the medicine boxes move to the end of the conveyor belt 102, the palletizer 202 receives the command action of the second control box 201, and then grabs the medicine boxes and stacks the medicine boxes on the stacking plate 203 to achieve the stacking of the medicine boxes, so as to facilitate the centralized transportation or storage of the medicine boxes. It should be noted that the stacker used in the present invention is a commercially available ordinary model stacker for grabbing small objects. Its structural structure and working principle belong to the common knowledge in the mechanical field. It only needs to meet the requirements that the gripper size of the stacker is compatible with the size of the medicine box, which will not be repeated here.

[0030] In one embodiment, a plurality of weight-reducing holes 203a are provided at the bottom of the stacking plate 203. By providing the weight-reducing holes 203a at the bottom of the stacking plate 203, the weight of the stacking plate 203 is reduced, and the difficulty of moving the stacking plate 203 is reduced while ensuring the mechanical strength of the stacking plate 203. Further, the stacking unit 200 also includes a vacuum pump 204, which is electrically connected to the second control box 201, and the output end of the vacuum pump 204 is located at the bottom of the stacking plate 203 and communicates with the weight-reducing holes 203a. Specifically, when a medicine box is placed on the stacking plate 203, the output end of the vacuum pump 204 inhales air, thereby reducing the air pressure between the medicine box and the weight-reducing holes 203a and forming a negative pressure. In this way, the medicine box is pressed against the stacking plate 203 under the action of the negative pressure, and a stable connection with the stacking plate 203 is achieved, so as to prevent the medicine box from falling off the stacking plate 203 during the stacking process, so as to improve the reliability of the stacking operation.

[0031] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0032] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
