Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ampoule production, and particularly relates to a full-automatic ampoule production system and method. Background Art

[0002] In the existing ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, it only has the function of processing a material tube into an ampoule bottle under the control of a controller and completing the detection of the bottle body quality, but cannot realize the full-automatic production of automatic tube feeding and automatic boxing during the ampoule production process, that is, there is no perfect fully automatic ampoule production line for automatic material tube feeding, bottle body processing, quality detection, and packing of qualified products. The main technical difficulties are as follows:

[0003] Firstly, the existing automatic tube feeding machine cannot meet the tube feeding requirements of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment.

[0004] Currently, for the bottle making machines for producing vials and pre-filled syringes, the A part chuck plate and the B part chuck plate are separately arranged left and right, and both chuck plates rotate intermittently. After the transfer and insertion mechanism picks up and transports the tube, the material tube is directly placed into the material tube input port of the stationary A part chuck plate of the bottle making machine after it stops rotating. In the prior art, the transfer and insertion mechanism used for transferring the material tube to the static material tube input point includes a bracket, a transfer assembly, and an inserter. Among them, the transfer assembly is composed of a lifting and pushing assembly and a telescopic pushing assembly. The transfer assembly realizes the input of the material tube into the static material tube input port at a fixed position by driving the material tube to lift and move horizontally in a straight line.

[0005] Different from the above-mentioned bottle making machine, the bottle body production equipment for producing ampoules has the A part chuck plate and the B part chuck plate vertically arranged on a large chuck plate. When transferring and inserting the tube, the chuck plate of the ampoule production equipment rotates continuously in a circular motion. Therefore, the transfer and insertion movement trajectory and operating speed of the automatic tube feeding machine need to match the circular motion trajectory of the chuck plate of the ampoule production equipment to ensure that the material tube is transferred to the dynamic material tube input point.

[0006] However, the transfer and insertion working mode for the static material tube input point in the prior art is relatively simple and cannot be applied to the use in the dynamic material tube input point. That is, the transfer assembly of the transfer and insertion mechanism for the static point only has the transfer movement directions of up and down and horizontally. Even if the movement trajectories in these two directions are superimposed, the movement trajectory of the inserter cannot match the circular movement trajectory of the dynamic chuck plate, so the operation of transferring the material tube to the chuck plate of the ampoule bottle body production equipment cannot be realized, and the automatic tube feeding requirements of the ampoule bottle body production equipment cannot be met.

[0007] Secondly, the existing boxing equipment cannot meet the boxing requirements of ampoules.

[0008] At present, in the existing glass product packing equipment, the material taking and transferring mechanism is used to transfer the qualified glass products on the transmission line of the ampoule bottle body detection device to the automatic packing machine. The material taking and transferring mechanism in the prior art includes a transfer moving component and a mounting plate fixedly installed at the power output end of the transfer moving component. A row of suction nozzles is fixedly installed on the mounting plate. During operation, the suction nozzles adsorb the glass products to be transferred on the transmission line, and the transfer moving component drives the suction nozzles on the mounting plate to move to the loading position, and the suction nozzles release the glass products. This kind of material taking and transferring structure and method is applicable when the placement directions of the glass products to be transferred at the discharge position of the transmission line and the loading position of the packing box are the same. However, the placement direction of the qualified ampoules on the transmission line of the ampoule bottle body detection equipment is opposite to the placement direction of the ampoules when they are packed in the packing box. Therefore, the existing packing equipment cannot meet the production and packing needs of ampoules, which brings inconvenience to the actual production work. Summary of the Invention

[0015] III. The transfer assembly is a multi-axis motion component, and the power output end of the multi-axis motion component is fixedly connected to the cannula inserter.

[0016] As another limitation of the present invention, the tube transfer mechanism on the automatic tube loading machine for transporting the material tube from the storage tube output port of the automatic tube loading machine's tube storage mechanism to the tube input port of the lifting mechanism of the automatic tube loading machine includes a frame, a transfer component assembled on the frame for transferring the material tube, and a suction cup component assembled on the power output control end of the transfer component for adsorbing the material tube. At least one tube clamp is fixedly installed on the nozzle fixing plate of the suction cup component, and the tube clamping surface of the tube clamp corresponds to the material tube adsorbed on the suction cup component.

[0017] As a further limitation of the present invention, the tube clamp includes a fixing plate, symmetrically arranged clamping claws for clamping the material tube hinged to the fixing plate, a linear drive for driving the opening and closing of the clamping claws, and a hinged connecting rod for controlling the opening and closing of the clamping claws. The linear drive is fixedly installed on the nozzle fixing plate, the power output control end of the linear drive is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, the ends of the two clamping claws are respectively hinged to the fixing plate, a hinged connecting rod is hinged to each clamping claw, and the two hinged connecting rods are hinged and symmetrically arranged between the two clamping claws.

[0018] As a third limitation of the present invention, the picking and transferring mechanism in the packing equipment for transferring the qualified ampoules on the product detection device's transmission line to the automatic packing machine includes a support frame, a transfer and moving component assembled on the support frame for controlling the moving position of the transferred ampoules, a mounting plate fixedly installed on the power output end of the transfer and moving component through a rotator, and a picking component assembled on the mounting plate for picking. The picking position of the picking component corresponds to the glass product discharging position of the product detection system, and the discharging position of the picking component corresponds to the loading position of the automatic packing machine.

[0019] As other limitations of the present invention, the picking component includes a first picking component and a second picking component fixedly installed on opposite sides of the mounting plate. The first picking component is M groups of first nozzles fixedly installed in parallel on the mounting plate, and the second picking component is Q groups of second nozzles fixedly installed in parallel on the mounting plate, satisfying M - Q = 1. All the first nozzles and all the second nozzles are connected to the gas source pipeline.

[0020] The present invention also provides a fully automatic ampoule production method implemented by using a fully automatic ampoule production system. The technical solution is as follows:

[0021] It includes the following steps carried out under the control of a controller:

[0022] S1. Upper tube: The automatic tube loading machine transports the material tube to the tube input position of the ampoule bottle body production and inspection equipment.

[0023] S2. Bottle making: Each processing procedure of the ampoule bottle body production and inspection equipment processes the material tube into an ampoule bottle, and the product inspection device outputs the qualified ampoule bottles through the transmission line.

[0024] S3. Boxing: The boxing equipment boxes the qualified ampoule bottles at the output position of the transmission line.

[0025] As a limitation of the present invention, in step S1, when the transfer and insertion mechanism of the automatic tube loading machine transfers the material tube at the tube output port of the automatic tube loading machine's lifting mechanism to the tube input port of the ampoule bottle body production and inspection equipment, the following steps are included:

[0026] When the transfer and insertion mechanism of the automatic tube loading machine transfers the material tube at the tube output port of the automatic tube loading machine's lifting mechanism to the tube input port of the ampoule bottle body production and inspection equipment:

[0027] The transfer assembly drives the inserter to pick up the tube from the tube output port of the automatic tube loading machine's lifting mechanism, and the transfer assembly drives the material tube to lift upward.

[0028] After receiving the insertion signal at the tube input port of the chuck plate of the ampoule bottle body production and inspection equipment, the transfer assembly drives the material tube to rotate in cooperation with the chuck plate of the ampoule bottle body production and inspection equipment, and moves the material tube into the tube input port of the chuck plate of the ampoule bottle body production and inspection equipment.

[0029] The transfer assembly and the inserter are reset.

[0030] As other limitations of the present invention, when the material picking and transfer mechanism in step S3 transfers the qualified ampoule bottles on the transmission line of the product inspection device to the automatic boxing machine, the following steps are included:

[0031] S31. Material picking: The transfer moving component drives the mounting plate to move, so that the material picking component moves to the material discharging position of the product inspection device to pick up the material.

[0032] S32. Material transporting: The transfer moving component drives the material picking component to move. At the same time, the rotator drives the mounting plate to rotate, and the tilting control component drives the ampoule bottles adsorbed by the material picking component to rotate to the same tilting angle as the packing box on the automatic boxing machine, so that the discharging position of the material picking component corresponds to the loading position of the automatic boxing machine.

[0033] S33. Unloading: Release the adsorbed ampoule bottles, and the ampoule bottles are loaded into the packing box.

[0034] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects obtained by the present invention are:

[0035] (1) The present invention takes the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment as the main body, and is combined with an automatic tube loading machine and a packing equipment to form a fully automated ampoule bottle production system. This system can make the automatic tube loading machine and the packing equipment be applied in a supporting manner with the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, meet the automatic production needs of ampoule bottles, and form a fully automated production line for tube feeding, bottle body processing, quality inspection, and packing of qualified products, thus forming a complete ampoule bottle production system and method.

[0036] (2) The present invention changes the transfer and insertion working mode of the original automatic tube loading machine. Its main improvement is to change the transfer and insertion working mode for the static tube input point to the transfer and insertion working mode for the dynamic tube input point, that is, to change the transfer and insertion operation originally applicable to the intermittent rotary bottle making machine to the transfer and insertion operation applicable to the chuck plate of the continuously operating ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment. By making the movement trajectory and running speed of the transferred tube match the circumferential movement trajectory of the chuck plate of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, this improved transfer and insertion working mode can effectively ensure that the tube is transferred to the dynamic tube input point in a continuously rotating state, meeting the tube loading needs of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment. The transfer assembly of the present invention adopts various structures and working methods, respectively having the following advantages:

[0037] The transfer assembly adopts a transfer method of compound superposition of three-axis linear motions of the z-axis moving component, y-axis moving component, and x-axis moving component. After taking the tube, it moves and transports the tube, adjusts the movement trajectory and transfer speed of the tube by tracking the chuck plate, and finally realizes the insertion operation; this method can effectively ensure that the transfer movement trajectory and transfer speed of the tube match the chuck plate of the continuously operating ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, ensure the positioning accuracy and operation stability of the transfer and insertion operation, is easy to control the three-axis movement trajectory, is easy to implement, has a low production cost, and has stable and reliable production quality and production efficiency.

[0038] The transfer assembly adopts a transfer method of a lifting moving component, a rotating component, and a linear telescopic rod. Through the compound superposition of lifting, circumferential curve movement, and linear telescopic movement, the transfer movement trajectory of the tube is made to match the circumferential movement trajectory of the chuck plate of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment. The overall structure is compact and the design is reasonable, which can simplify the transfer movement path of the tube and shorten the tube transfer time.

[0039] The transfer assembly adopts a transfer method of multi-directional movement of multi-axis movement components, has a high positioning accuracy, stable performance, and can complete the tube transfer and insertion operation with high quality and high efficiency.

[0040] (3)The present invention also makes improvements to the material tube transfer mechanism of the original automatic tube loading machine, that is, a material tube clamp is added to the suction cup assembly. When the transfer assembly transfers the material tube adsorbed by the suction cup assembly, the adsorption force of the suction nozzle on the material tube and the clamping force of the material tube clamp on the material tube act together to avoid the shaking of the material tube during the transfer process, so that the material tube is stably adsorbed on the suction nozzle, improving the stability and reliability of the transfer. The present invention can effectively prevent the material tube from falling, reduce the breakage and damage of the material tube caused by the falling of the material tube, reduce the production cost of the enterprise and the operation risk during the manual removal of damaged material tubes. Moreover, it ensures the transfer efficiency of the material tube, the tube supply efficiency to the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, and the bottle making efficiency of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, effectively guaranteeing the production efficiency of the enterprise. The material tube clamp of the present invention is convenient for realizing the operations of clamping the tube and unloading the tube, and the position adjustment assembly provided can be applicable to adjusting the position of the clamping part when transferring material tubes of different diameters, which is convenient for actual production use.

[0041] (4)The present invention also makes improvements to the transfer method of the material taking and transfer mechanism of the original packing equipment, that is, during the transfer process of the glass products, the rotation of the mounting plate is controlled by a rotator to adjust the placement direction of the glass products transferred after taking materials from the discharging position of the transmission line at the loading position of the packing box to meet the packing requirements.

[0042] By respectively arranging the first material taking assembly and the second material taking assembly, the material taking assembly of the present invention can enable the first material taking assembly and the second material taking assembly to successively and continuously perform the operations of taking materials, transferring materials, and unloading materials, saving the moving displacement between the first material taking assembly and the second material taking assembly, effectively simplifying and optimizing the transfer moving path, shortening the transfer time of the glass products, improving the conveying efficiency and packing speed of the glass products, and enhancing the working efficiency of the glass product production line.

[0043] At the same time, by respectively arranging the first material taking assembly for transferring the glass products in the Nth row in the packing box and the second material taking assembly for transferring the glass products in the [N + 1]th row in the packing box, there is no need to control the number of suction nozzles generating negative pressure by switching control to control the number of bottles taken by adsorption, simplifying the control program, thereby reducing the error rate of taking bottles by adsorption, ensuring the precise, orderly and regular stacking arrangement of the ampoules in the packing box, effectively guaranteeing the packing quality of the ampoules, avoiding damage to the ampoules, and effectively ensuring the stable and reliable transfer quality and production efficiency.

[0064] Embodiment 1 A fully automatic ampoule production system and method

[0065] The present invention takes the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment as the main body, and is combined with an automatic tube loading machine and a packing equipment to form a fully automatic ampoule production system. This system can make the automatic tube loading machine and the packing equipment be used in combination with the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, forming a fully automatic production line for tube feeding, bottle body processing, quality inspection, and packing of qualified products, and forming a complete ampoule production system and method

[0066] The fully automatic ampoule production system includes an automatic tube loading machine, an ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, and a packing equipment that are all controlled by a controller. The tube output port of the automatic tube loading machine corresponds to the tube input port of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment, and the discharging position of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment corresponds to the feeding position of the packing equipment. The introduction of the main structure of each part is as follows

[0067] The automatic tube loading machine includes a tube storage mechanism, a tube transfer mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a transfer and insertion mechanism arranged in sequence. Among them, the tube storage mechanism and the lifting mechanism both adopt existing technologies. The present invention has made improvements to the working mode of the tube transfer mechanism and the transfer and insertion of the automatic tube loading machine. For the improved main structure and working process of the tube transfer mechanism of the automatic tube loading machine, see Embodiment 2. For the improved main structure and working process of the transfer and insertion mechanism and the transfer and insertion method of the automatic tube loading machine, see Embodiments 3-6

[0068] The ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment adopts existing technologies, including a chuck plate, various processing mechanisms, and a product detection device

[0069] The packing equipment includes a material fetching and transferring mechanism and an automatic packing machine in the prior art. The present invention improves the transferring method of the material fetching and transferring mechanism of the packing equipment. The main structures and working processes of each part are detailed in Embodiments 7-8.

[0070] A fully automatic ampoule production method, which includes the following steps under the control of a controller:

[0071] S1. Tube feeding: The automatic tube feeding machine transports the material tube to the material tube input position of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment. Specifically:

[0072] The material tube transferring mechanism of the automatic tube feeding machine transfers the material tube in the tube storage mechanism to the lifting mechanism, and the transferring and inserting tube mechanism transfers the material tube at the material tube output port of the lifting mechanism to the material tube input port of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment.

[0073] S2. Bottle making: Each processing process of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment processes the material tube into an ampoule bottle, and the product detection device outputs the qualified ampoule bottles through the transmission line. Specifically:

[0074] Each processing mechanism of the ampoule bottle body production and detection equipment processes and forms the material tube through processes such as tube dropping, wire drawing, neck making, bottom fusing, and bottle dropping. After passing through processes such as scratch marking and printing, it enters the annealing furnace for annealing to form a finished bottle. The qualified ampoule bottles are output by the transmission line after being detected by the product detection device.

[0075] S3. Packing: The packing equipment packs the qualified ampoule bottles at the output position of the transmission line. Specifically:

[0076] The material fetching and transferring mechanism of the packing equipment accurately and stably grabs the qualified ampoule bottles to be packed from the transmission line and transfers them to the empty box body on the automatic packing machine.

[0077] Embodiment 2 A material tube transferring mechanism and transferring method of an automatic tube feeding machine

[0078] This embodiment is an improvement on the material tube transferring mechanism of the original automatic tube feeding machine, that is, a material tube clamp is added to the suction cup assembly. When the transferring assembly transfers the material tube adsorbed by the suction cup assembly, the adsorption force of the suction nozzle on the material tube and the clamping force of the material tube clamp act together to avoid the shaking of the material tube during the transfer process, so that the material tube is stably adsorbed on the suction nozzle, improving the stability and reliability of the transfer.

[0079] Such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment includes a frame 81, a transfer assembly 813 assembled on the frame 81 for transferring the material pipe, a suction cup assembly for adsorbing the material pipe assembled at the power output control end of the transfer assembly 813, and at least one material pipe clamp 82 assembled on the nozzle fixing plate 811 of the suction cup assembly. In this embodiment, a material pipe clamp 82 is symmetrically and fixedly installed at each end of the nozzle fixing plate 811 in the length direction.

[0080] The transfer assembly 813 and the suction cup assembly both adopt the structures used in the material pipe transfer mechanism of the existing automatic pipe loading machine of the bottle making machine. The transfer assembly 813 includes a rotation assembly for rotating the suction cup assembly to correspond to the storage pipe chamber of the lifting mechanism of the automatic pipe loading machine, a lateral movement assembly for horizontally moving the transfer assembly, and a vertical movement assembly for vertically lifting the transfer assembly. The longitudinal movement assembly is assembled at the output control end of the lateral movement assembly, and the output control ends of the longitudinal movement assembly and the rotation assembly are respectively connected to the suction cup assembly. The suction cup assembly includes a nozzle fixing plate 811, a nozzle 812 fixedly connected to the nozzle fixing plate 811, and a pipe clamping groove for clamping the material pipe. The nozzle 812 is connected to the pipeline of a vacuum element for generating negative pressure.

[0081] The material pipe clamp 82 is used to clamp the material pipe adsorbed by the suction cup assembly, that is, the material pipe clamping surface of the material pipe clamp 82 corresponds to the material pipe adsorbed on the suction cup assembly. Each material pipe clamp 82 includes a fixing plate 83, two clamping jaws 84, a linear drive 86, and two articulated connecting rods 85. The linear drive 86 is used to drive and control the opening and closing of the clamping jaws 84. The linear drive 86 is fixedly installed on the nozzle fixing plate 811 of the suction cup assembly. The linear drive 86 can be a structure capable of linear motion in the prior art such as a linear cylinder or a linear motor. The power output control end of the linear drive 86 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 83 and can drive the fixing plate 83 to move linearly up and down. The fixing plate 83 is a triangular plate, and symmetrically arranged clamping jaws 84 are hinged at the bottom end of the fixing plate 83, that is, the ends of the two clamping jaws 84 are respectively hinged to the fixing plate 83. An articulated connecting rod 85 for controlling the opening and closing of the clamping jaw 84 is hinged on each clamping jaw 84. The two articulated connecting rods 85 are hinged together through a hinge shaft and are symmetrically arranged between the two clamping jaws 84, that is, one end of each articulated connecting rod 85 is hinged to the clamping jaw 84 and the other end is hinged to the other articulated connecting rod 85 through the hinge shaft. In order to further improve the smoothness of the opening and closing of the material pipe clamp 82, the hinge shaft 89 of the two articulated connecting rods 85 is installed on the body structure of the linear drive 86.

[0082] Preferably, each clamping jaw 84 includes a connecting portion 841, a clamping portion 842 and a position adjusting assembly. The upper end of the connecting portion 841 is hinged to the bottom end of the fixing plate 83, the bottom end of the connecting portion 841 is connected to the clamping portion 842 through the position adjusting assembly, and an articulated link 85 is hinged to the middle of the connecting portion 841. A gasket 810 for contacting the material pipe is fixed on the clamping portion 842 to prevent scratching the material pipe. The position adjusting assembly includes a long slot 87, a plurality of through holes 88 and bolts. The long slot 87 is formed on the clamping portion 842, the plurality of through holes 88 are formed on the connecting portion 841, and the positions of the plurality of through holes 88 are correspondingly arranged with the long slot 87, so as to adjust the connection position of the clamping portion 842 on the connecting portion 841 by passing the bolts through the long slot 87 and the corresponding through holes, thereby adjusting the clamping position of the clamping jaw.

[0083] When using this embodiment to transport the material pipe from the storage pipe output port of the storage pipe mechanism to the material pipe input port of the lifting mechanism under the control of the controller, the following steps are included:

[0084] S1-1. Pipe picking: The transfer assembly 813 moves the suction cup assembly to the pipe picking position, and the negative pressure generated by the suction cup assembly adsorbs the topmost material pipe stacked at the storage material output port of the automatic pipe loading machine on the suction cup assembly.

[0085] S1-2. Pipe clamping by the pipe clamp: The transfer assembly 813 lifts the material pipe adsorbed by the suction cup assembly, so that there is space for the pipe clamp 82 to open and close to clamp the material pipe. When the pipe clamp 82 clamps the pipe, the linear actuator 86 drives the fixing plate 83 to move downward. At the same time, under the drive of the articulated link 85, the two clamping jaws 84 are controlled to move downward to close and clamp the material pipe. At this time, the two articulated links 85 are in a "^" shape, that is, an inverted "V" shape.

[0086] S1-3. Pipe transportation: The transfer assembly 813 transfers the material pipe on the suction cup assembly to a position corresponding to the storage pipe cavity of the lifting mechanism of the automatic pipe loading machine.
