[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and effect of the present invention clearer and more specific, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0052] In the prior art, hospitals manage ampoules and vials of medicines mostly by manual counting, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone. In addition, drug information is easily lost. During manual counting, medicine bottles are prone to damage and contamination. When managing them intelligently, ampoules and vials need to be given recognizable marks or electronic information (such as RFID tags) to facilitate intelligent identification and management of medicines. The prior art does not have relevant equipment for automatically labeling medicine bottles.
[0053] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, this embodiment provides an automatic labeling machine, specifically Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown in , the automatic labeling machine includes a shell structure 10, a labeling mechanism component 20, a label receiving and placing component 30, and a medicine bottle placing component 40. Specifically, the medicine bottle placing component 40 is arranged on the shell component 10, and the medicine bottle placing component 40 is used for the medicine bottle 4-3 to be labeled, and a touch switch 4-4 is arranged on the medicine bottle placing component 40; the label receiving and placing component 30 is arranged in the shell component 10, and is connected to the touch switch 4-4, so that the label receiving and placing component 30 is triggered by the touch switch 4-4 to start the label receiving and placing work; the labeling structure component 20 is arranged in the shell component 10, and is located below the label receiving and placing component 30 and the medicine bottle placing component 40; the labeling mechanism component 20 is connected to the touch switch 4-4, and when the touch switch 4-4 is triggered, the labeling mechanism component 20 can be triggered by the touch switch 4-4 to absorb the label from the label receiving and placing component 30 and attach the label to the medicine bottle 4-3. The present invention can realize automatic labeling of medicine bottles 4 - 3 without manual operation, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0054] Specifically, the housing structure 10 in this embodiment includes a rear housing 1-2 and a front housing 1-2. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the medicine bottle placement component in this embodiment includes: a hand wheel 4-1 and a medicine bottle placement hole 4-2 arranged on the hand wheel 4-1. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the hand wheel 4-1 is arranged on the upper surface of the rear shell 1-1, and the touch switch 4-4 is arranged at the bottom of the medicine bottle placement hole 4-2; when the medicine bottle 4-3 to be labeled is placed in the medicine bottle placement hole 4-4, the touch switch 4-4 triggers the label receiving and placing component 30 and the labeling mechanism component 20 to work. Figure 5As shown in the figure, a touch switch cover 4-5 is also installed on the rear shell 1-1 below the medicine bottle placement hole 4-2. The touch switch cover 4-5 is used to protect the touch switch 4-4. When a medicine bottle 4-3 is placed in the medicine bottle placement hole 4-2, the medicine bottle 4-3 presses the touch switch 4-4 and triggers the switch. When the touch switch 4-4 is triggered, the automatic labeling machine starts labeling. In addition, the aperture size of the medicine bottle placement hole 4-2 in this embodiment is set to be the same or different. When the aperture size of the medicine bottle placement hole is set to be different, different specifications of medicine bottles 4-3 can be used. By controlling the rotation of the hand wheel 4-1, medicine bottle placement holes 4-2 with different aperture sizes are used to achieve labeling of medicine bottles 4-3 of different specifications.
[0055] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the labeling mechanism component 20 in this embodiment includes a rotary motion component, a pneumatic suction cup component 2-8 and a horizontal motion component. In this embodiment, the rotary motion component is arranged in the shell component 10, and the pneumatic suction cup component 2-8 is movably connected to the rotary motion component and to the horizontal motion component. When the rotary motion component moves, this embodiment can drive the pneumatic suction cup component 2-8 to move in the horizontal direction through the action of the horizontal motion component. Specifically, first refer to Figure 6 The rotary motion assembly in this embodiment includes a driving wheel 2-3, a driven wheel assembly 2-4 and a turntable drive motor 2-2. The turntable drive motor 2-2 is arranged on a turntable drive motor seat 2-1, and the turntable drive motor seat 2-1 is fixed inside the housing component 10 by bolts. In this embodiment, the turntable drive motor 2-2 is connected to the driving wheel 2-3. Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the driven wheel assembly 2-4 in this embodiment is driven by the driving wheel 2-3, and the driving wheel 2-3 is connected to the output shaft of the turntable drive motor 2-2, so the turntable drive motor 2-2 can be used to control the movement of the driving wheel 2-3, thereby controlling the movement of the driven wheel assembly 2-4. In this embodiment, what is to be achieved is labeling the medicine bottle 4-3, so after the medicine bottle 4-3 is placed in the medicine bottle placement hole 4-2, the touch switch 4-4 will be triggered. In this embodiment, the touch switch 4-4 is connected to the turntable drive motor 2-2, so that once the touch switch 4-4 is triggered, the turntable drive motor 2-2 can be started, thereby controlling the movement of the driving wheel 2-3, and then the driven wheel assembly 2-4 is driven to move through the driving wheel 2-3.
[0056] In this embodiment, the driven wheel assembly 2-4 includes a driven wheel 2-4-1, a cross roller bearing retaining spring 2-4-2, a cross roller bearing 2-4-3, and a driven wheel base 2-4-4, and the driven wheel 2-4-1 includes a driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1) and a driven wheel gear 2-4-1 (2), as shown in detail. Figure 7 , Figure 8 by Fig. 9 The pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 in this embodiment includes a suction cup 2-8-1, a slide bar 2-8-2, a pneumatic suction cup base 2-8-3, a pneumatic slide bar spring 2-8-4, a pneumatic limit block 2-8-5, a deep groove 201 ball bearing 2-8-6, a positioning glass bead 2-8-7, and a deep groove 201 ball bearing retaining spring 2-8-8, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, the suction cup 2-8-1 is used to suck the label from the label receiving and placing component 30, and to stick the label to the bottom of the medicine bottle 4-4 on the medicine bottle placing component 40. The horizontal motion component in this embodiment includes a slide rail bracket 2-5, a slide rail 2-6, and a slider 2-7. Figure 6 In this embodiment, the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 is movably connected to the rotary motion assembly. When the rotary motion assembly moves, the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 can be driven to move. Then, the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 is movably connected to the horizontal motion assembly. Therefore, the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 can be driven to move linearly through the horizontal motion assembly.
[0057] Specifically, the connection relationship between the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8, the rotational motion assembly and the horizontal motion assembly in this embodiment is as follows: the driven wheel 2-4-1 is installed on the inner ring of the cross roller bearing 2-4-3, the cross roller bearing 2-4-3 is clamped by the cross roller bearing retaining spring 2-4-2, and the driving wheel 2-3 is meshed and connected with the driven wheel 2-4-1, which can drive the driven wheel 2-4-1 to rotate around the cross roller bearing 2-4-3. The pneumatic motor 2-9 is installed on the pneumatic motor seat 2-13, and the pneumatic motor seat 2-13 is installed on the labeling mechanism base 2-12 by bolts. The output end of the pneumatic guide tube 2-10 is fixed in the hole of the slide bar 2-8-2 and sealed; the suction cup 2-8-1 is installed on the slide bar 2-8-2, and the top of the slide bar 2-8-2 has a screw hole, and the positioning glass bead 2-8-7 can be screwed into the screw hole; the deep groove 201 ball bearing 2-8-6 is connected to the labeling mechanism base 2-12 by two deep groove 201 ball bearing retaining rings 2-8- 8 is installed at the lower end of the slide bar 2-8-2; the pneumatic slide bar spring 2-8-4 is installed between the pneumatic limit block 2-8-5 and the pneumatic suction cup base 2-8-3, and the upper end of the slide bar 2-8-2 is provided with a boss with a larger diameter, which can form a limit with the pneumatic suction cup base 2-8-3 to prevent it from falling; the slide bar 2-8-2 has a downward tensioning force under the tension of the pneumatic slide bar spring 2-8-4, that is, in the absence of external force, the slide bar 2-8-2 is in the lowest downward position.
[0058] In addition, the pneumatic suction cup base 2-8-3 of the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 is fixed to the slider 2-7 by bolts, and the slider 2-7 is installed on the slide rail 2-6 and can slide along the slide rail 2-6. Both ends of the slide rail 2-6 are installed on the slide rail bracket 2-5; therefore, under the action of the slider 2-7, the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 can slide along the slide rail 2-6. When the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 is installed, the positioning glass bead 2-8-7 on the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 presses against the bottom surface of the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1) on the driven wheel 2-4-1 and can rotate along the bottom surface of the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1); the deep groove 201 ball bearing 2-8-6 contacts the side of the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1) and can rotate along the side of the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1).
[0059] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 As shown, the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1) is set in a ring shape, including shallow grooves set on both sides and a deep groove 201 set in the middle, and an inclined surface is used between the shallow groove and the deep groove 201; when the driven wheel 2-4-1 rotates, the positioning glass bead 2-8-7 of the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 moves along the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1); when it moves to the deep groove 201 part, the slide bar 2-8-2 is in the lowest position, that is, the suction cup 2-8-1 is in the lowest position; when it moves to the shallow groove part, the slide bar 2-8-2 is pushed up, and the slide bar 2-8-2 is in the highest position, that is, the suction cup 2-8-1 is in the highest position. It can be seen that the slide bar 2-8-2 in this embodiment will move up and down relative to the slider 2-7, so the suction cup 2-8-1 will move up and down, thereby sucking the label.
[0060] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 Combined with Fig.11As shown in the figure, the label receiving and releasing component 30 in this embodiment includes a main rotating drum 3-1, a main rotating drum shaft 3-2, a main rotating drum motor 3-3, a secondary rotating drum 3-4, a secondary rotating drum shaft 3-5, a label roll 3-6, an upper pressure wheel 3-7, a lower pressure wheel 3-8, a label top block 3-9, a label roll tensioning shaft 3-10, and an RFID electronic tag 3-11. In this embodiment, the main rotating drum 3-1 is connected to the main rotating drum motor 3-3, and the main rotating drum motor 3-3 is connected to the touch switch 4-4, so that when the touch switch 4-4 is triggered, the main rotating drum motor 3-3 can be controlled, and then the label receiving and releasing component 30 can be controlled to work. The auxiliary drum 3-4 of this embodiment is linked to the main drum 3-1, and the specific linkage connection can be a meshing connection between gears. For example, gears are set on the output shafts of the auxiliary drum 3-4 and the main drum 3-1 and mesh with each other, so that when the main drum motor 3-3 controls the movement of the main drum 3-1, the auxiliary drum 3-4 can be driven to rotate through the gear meshing connection. The label roll 3-6 in this embodiment is wound on the main drum 3-1 and the auxiliary drum 3-4, and is driven to rotate by the main drum 3-1 and the auxiliary drum 3-4, thereby controlling the transmission of the label roll 3-6. Since the RFID electronic tag 3-11 is arranged on the label roll 3-6, when the RFID electronic tag 3-11 is transported to the top of the suction cup 2-8-1, the suction cup 2-8-1 can just suck the RFID electronic tag 3-11 through the motion control of the rotary motion component and the horizontal motion component, and suck the RFID electronic tag 3-11 down, and then the RFID electronic tag 3-11 is attached to the bottom of the medicine bottle 4-3 through the motion control of the rotary motion component and the horizontal motion component to achieve labeling. The suction cup 2-8-1 in this embodiment can absorb and label the RFID electronic tag 3-11, which is mainly achieved based on the structural shape of the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1). Since the two sides of the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1) are shallow grooves and the middle is a deep groove 201, the height of the suction cup 2-8-1 is different when the slide bar 2-8-2 moves to the shallow groove and the deep groove 201, so that the RFID electronic tag 3-11 can be absorbed and labeled.
[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main drum 3-1 is installed on the main drum shaft 3-2, and the main drum motor 3-3 is installed on the rear shell 1-1. The main drum motor 3-3 can control the main drum 3-1 to rotate; the auxiliary drum 3-2 is installed on the auxiliary drum shaft 3-5, and can rotate with the main drum 3-1; the label roll 3-6 is transferred from the auxiliary drum 3-2 to the main drum 3-1; the upper pressure wheel 3-7 and the lower pressure wheel 3-8 of the roll press the label roll 3-6, and the label roll tensioning shaft 3-10 tightens the label roll 3-6; when the pneumatic When the suction cup assembly 2-8 is in the shallow groove 101 in the driven wheel groove 2-4-1 (1), the suction cup 2-8-1 contacts the RFID electronic tag 3-11 on the label roll 3-6 upwards. There is a label top block 3-9 on the RFID electronic tag 3-11 to support the RFID electronic tag 3-11, so as to ensure that the suction cup 2-8-1 can be in close contact with the RFID electronic tag 3-11; at this time, the pneumatic motor 2-9 is started to make the suction cup 2-8-1 suck the RFID electronic tag 3-11, and the label removal process is completed. Then the suction cup 2-8-1 continues to move to stick the RFID electronic tag 3-11 to the bottom of the medicine bottle 4-3.
[0062] The labeling process of the automatic labeling machine in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 shows the initial position of the labeling machine. When the touch switch 4-4 is triggered, the turntable drive motor 2-2 works, driving the active wheel 2-3 and the driven wheel 2-4-1 to rotate, and the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 starts to rotate along the driven wheel groove 2-4-1, first moving to the shallow groove 101 in the driven wheel groove 2-4-1, and the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 moves upward. At the same time, the pneumatic motor 2-9 works to absorb the RFID through the suction cup 2-8-1. The electronic tag 3-11 is removed, and the label is taken; then it moves to the deep groove 201 of the driven wheel groove 2-4-1, and the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 moves downward and moves to the outer shallow groove 102. When it moves to the outer shallow groove 102, the pneumatic suction cup assembly 2-8 moves upward to hold the medicine bottle 4-3 and press it. At this time, the pneumatic motor 2-9 stops working, and the suction cup 2-8-1 releases the RFID electronic tag 3-11, and the RFID electronic tag 3-11 is pasted on the bottom of the medicine bottle 4-3 to complete the labeling. During the labeling process, the main drum motor 3-3 starts and rotates the next RFID electronic tag 3-11 to the bottom of the labeling top block 3-9 to prepare for the next label removal. It can be seen that the automatic labeling machine in this embodiment does not require manual operation, which can improve the efficiency of labeling work.

[0066] Step S300: The labeling mechanism component is triggered to start working, and the label is sucked from the label receiving and placing component by the pneumatic suction cup assembly, and the label is attached to the medicine bottle.
[0067] When the automatic labeling method in this embodiment is applied to the automatic labeling machine in the above embodiment, the installation relationship, position relationship, connection relationship between its various components and the features of how to implement labeling and labeling are all described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.
