Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of syringe manufacturing, in particular to a needle protection sleeve assembly system. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 2 As shown, the existing needle assembly 6 generally includes a needle seat 602 for connecting to the front end of the syringe barrel, a needle fixed in the needle seat 602, and a needle cap 601 sleeved on the needle. When the needle assembly 6 is a disposable item, it needs to be replaced after the injection, and the needle seat 602 needs to be removed from the front end of the syringe barrel to replace the needle assembly 6. Discarded needles are often discarded in a trash can. If the needle cap 601 is not covered, it is easy to hurt people. Even if the needle cap 601 is covered, the needle cap 601 is easy to fall off, and some needle caps 601 are even lost during injection.

Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a "C"-shaped card interface 603 is provided on the needle seat 602, and then a docking shaft 701 is provided on the needle protection sleeve 7. The docking shaft 701 is inserted into the card interface 603 to form a hinge structure, so that the needle protection sleeve 7 can be turned around the needle seat 602. When injecting, the needle protection sleeve 7 is turned over to make the needle protection sleeve 7 away from the needle. After the injection, the needle protection sleeve 7 is turned over again to make the needle protection sleeve 7 close to the needle and cover the needle. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, due to the existence of the needle protection cover 7, the discarded needle is no longer easy to hurt people.

At this time, it is only necessary to use external force to clamp the card interface 603 and the docking shaft 701. The card interface 603 on the needle assembly 6 is located above the docking shaft 701. Therefore, the needle assembly 6 is pressed by the needle assembly pressing mechanism 4 to move the needle assembly 6 downward to complete the assembly of the card interface 603 and the docking shaft 701. During assembly, the needle cap 601 is covered, so the needle assembly pressing mechanism 4 presses the needle cap 601 to avoid damaging the needle.

[0082] Due to the above structure, when the assembly seats 5 are arranged in a row in the left transport channel 804 with their end to end contact, the left longitudinal displacement drive mechanism only needs to push the last one of the assembly seats 5 in the row to push the entire row of assembly seats 5, so that the entire row of assembly seats 5 moves from back to front in the left transport channel 804; due to the existence of the left lateral displacement drive mechanism 805, when the frontmost assembly seat 5 in the left transport channel 804 moves to the front end of the left transport channel 804, since the two transport channels are connected at this point, the assembly seat 5 can enter the right transport channel 808 under the push of the left lateral displacement drive mechanism 805. Then it moves in the opposite direction under the push of the right longitudinal displacement driving mechanism 8014; the right transport channel 808 is also provided with a plurality of assembly seats 5 that are in head-to-tail contact and arranged in a row; when the assembly seat 5 in the left transport channel 804 enters the front end of the right transport channel 808, it becomes the frontmost assembly seat 5, so pushing the assembly seat 5 can push the other assembly seats 5 to move from front to back in the right transport channel 808; when the last assembly seat 5 in the right transport channel 808 is located at the rear end of the right transport channel 808, under the action of the right lateral displacement driving mechanism 8010, the last assembly seat 5 can be pushed to shift laterally and switch to the left transport channel 804, so as to complete the cyclic movement of the assembly seat 5 on the entire transport plate 806; so that the assembly seat 5 is assembled in the left transport channel 804 and then enters the right transport channel 808 to perform other operations such as unloading. After the operation is completed, the assembly seat 5 can enter the left transport channel 804 again for the next assembly. The left guide bar 802, the middle guide bar 803, and the right guide bar 809 play a guiding role, limiting the left and right swinging of the assembly seat 5 during the movement, and the front block 8011 and the rear block limit the assembly seat 5 from moving out of the front and rear ends of the transportation channel.

[0083] Further, the rear end of the left transport channel 804 is provided with a left slide groove 801, and the left slide groove 801 extends along the length direction of the left transport channel 804 and passes through the transport plate 806; the left longitudinal displacement driving mechanism is a left longitudinal displacement cylinder, and the left longitudinal displacement cylinder is located below the transport plate 806 and is arranged along the length direction of the left transport channel 804. The piston rod end of the left longitudinal displacement cylinder is provided with a left slider, and the left slider passes through the left slide groove 801 and can slide in the left slide groove 801. The left slider is used to contact the rear end of the assembly seat 5 in the left transport channel 804, and is used to push the assembly seat 5 to move;

[0084] The front end of the right transport channel 808 is provided with a right slide groove 807, and the right slide groove 807 extends along the length direction of the right transport channel 808 and passes through the transport plate 806; the right longitudinal displacement driving mechanism 8014 is a right longitudinal displacement cylinder, and the right longitudinal displacement cylinder is located below the transport plate 806 and is arranged along the length direction of the right transport channel 808. The piston rod end of the right longitudinal displacement cylinder is provided with a right slider 8013, and the right slider 8013 passes through the right slide groove 807 and can slide in the right slide groove 807. The right slider 8013 is used to contact with the front end of the assembly seat 5 in the right transport channel 808, and is used to push the assembly seat 5 to move;

[0085] In the above structure, the left longitudinal displacement cylinder and the right longitudinal displacement cylinder are fixedly arranged below the transport plate 806 in order to make better use of space. If they are directly arranged at the front and rear ends of the transport channel along the longitudinal direction of the transport channel and located on the board surface of the transport plate 806, the length of the entire device will be very long. At the same time, the length of the left slide 801 and the right slide 807 is greater than or equal to the length of the assembly seat 5, and the length of the left slide 801 and the right slide 807 is greater than or equal to the stroke of the piston rod of the left longitudinal displacement cylinder and the right longitudinal displacement cylinder. In this way, the moving range of the assembly seat 5 can be fully guaranteed. The cylinder bodies of the left longitudinal displacement cylinder and the right longitudinal displacement cylinder can be fixed on the ground, or can be fixedly arranged on the lower board surface of the transport plate 806, or can be fixed on the support frame supporting the transport plate 806.

[0086] like Fig.12 As shown, in order to ensure that the assembly seat 5 can be pushed to move when the end face of the assembly seat 5 is in contact with the side of the front block 8011 and the rear block, the left slide groove 801 and the right slide groove 807 can be appropriately extended to a certain length toward the bottom of the front block 8011 and the rear block, and the left slider entrance and the right slider entrance 8012 can be respectively opened at the bottom of the front block 8011 and the rear block.

[0087] The front end of the left guide bar 802 is provided with an entrance of a left lateral displacement driving mechanism 805, and the left lateral displacement driving mechanism 805 is located on the left side of the left guide bar 802. The left lateral displacement driving mechanism 805 is a left lateral displacement cylinder. When the piston rod of the left lateral displacement cylinder extends into the left transport channel 804 through the entrance of the left lateral displacement driving mechanism 805, it can push the assembly seat 5 in the left transport channel 804 to move toward the right transport channel 808.

[0088] The rear end of the right guide bar 809 is provided with an entrance of a right lateral displacement driving mechanism 8010, and the right lateral displacement driving mechanism 8010 is located on the right side of the right guide bar 809. The right lateral displacement driving mechanism 8010 is a right lateral displacement cylinder. When the piston rod of the right lateral displacement cylinder extends into the right transport channel 808 through the entrance of the right lateral displacement driving mechanism 8010, it can push the assembly seat 5 in the right transport channel 808 to move toward the left transport channel 804.

[0089] like Fig.12 As shown, since the working stroke of the left lateral displacement cylinder and the right lateral displacement cylinder is short, they can be directly arranged on both sides of the left guide bar 802 and the right guide bar 809, and located on the same plane of the transport plate 806. Fig.12 As shown, a left lateral displacement cylinder mounting plate 8015 and a right lateral displacement cylinder mounting plate are provided on the left and right sides of the transport plate 806, and the left lateral displacement cylinder body and the right lateral displacement cylinder body are directly provided on the left lateral displacement cylinder mounting plate 8015 and the right lateral displacement cylinder mounting plate.

[0090] The operation method of this assembly system is as follows:

[0091] First, fill the left transport channel 804 and the right transport channel 808 with assembly seats 5, so that the assembly seats 5 are arranged in a row with their end to end touching, and the sum of the lengths of the assembly seats 5 is equal to the length of the transport channel. In order for the assembly seats 5 to be able to circulate between the two transport channels, one of the transport channels should have one less assembly seat 5 to leave room for movement. For example: if the length of the left transport channel 804 and the right transport channel 808 is equal to the length of 10 assembly seats 5, then 10 assembly seats 5 are placed in the right transport channel 808, and in order to ensure that the entire transport channel has enough transport space, 9 assembly seats 5 are placed in the left transport channel 804, and the vacant positions are at the front end or rear end of the left transport channel 804, so that the assembly seats 5 can move longitudinally or laterally;

[0092] In this embodiment, 9 assembly seats 5 are placed in the left transport channel 804, and 10 assembly seats 5 are placed in the right transport channel 808. The empty positions are located at the front end of the left transport channel 804 to illustrate the operation method of the present invention.

[0093] After the assembly seat 5 is placed, the needle guard 7 is moved into the needle guard fixing groove 501 by the needle guard loading mechanism 1 arranged on the left or right side of the transport plate 806; the needle assembly 6 is moved onto the needle assembly positioning column 502 by the needle assembly loading mechanism 2 arranged on the left or right side of the transport plate 806; then the left longitudinal displacement driving mechanism pushes the 9 assembly seats 5 in the left transport channel 804 to move forward together by the distance of one assembly seat 5, and the assembly seat 5 equipped with the needle guard 7 and the needle assembly 6 is delivered to the assembly station, and then the needle guard 7 is fixed in the needle guard fixing groove 501 by the needle guard fixing mechanism 3 arranged near the transport plate 806, close to the side of the needle guard fixing groove 501; after fixing, the needle assembly 6 is pressed by the needle assembly pressing mechanism 4, so that the needle assembly 6 moves downward on the needle assembly positioning column 502 to complete the assembly.

[0094] After assembly, the frontmost assembly seat 5 of the left transport channel 804 has been against the front stopper 8011, and the left transverse displacement driving mechanism 805 is required to push the assembly seat 5 into the right transport channel 808. Before the frontmost assembly seat 5 moves to the right transport channel 808, the right transverse displacement driving mechanism 8010 at the right transport channel 808 first pushes the assembly seat 5 at the rear end of the right transport channel 808 to move to the left transport channel 804. After the movement, the right longitudinal displacement driving mechanism 8014 pushes the frontmost assembly seat 5 in the right transport channel 808, so that all the assembly seats 5 in the right transport channel 808 move from front to back by the distance of one assembly seat 5. After the movement is completed, the assembly seats in the left transport channel 804 can be moved into the right transport channel 808 after leaving the front end space of the right transport channel 808. In this way, the assembly seat 5 continuously circulates in the two transport channels, so that loading, assembly and other operations can be performed on the assembly seat 5 in the left transport channel 804, and then the assembly seat 5 enters the right transport channel 808 for unloading and other operations, which greatly improves the delivery efficiency. Unloading can be operated by a robot.
