Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food and medicine packaging machinery equipment, in particular to a nest returning device and a nest returning method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing pre-filled needle (syringe) is fixed on the nest plate after filling, and then is arranged in the nest box together. Then, the filled pre-filled needle needs to be visually detected, and the unqualified pre-filled needle is removed. Before the visual detection, the pre-filled needle needs to be taken out from the nest box, which is called nest removal. Then, the single pre-filled needle is visually detected, and the qualified pre-filled needle is returned to the nest box for output, which is called nest returning. The unqualified pre-filled needle is removed. Therefore, in the nest returning machine, the unqualified pre-filled needle is removed after the visual detection, which will cause the existence of extra nest plates and nest boxes in the nest returning machine. However, the existing method is to alarm and then manually take away the extra nest plates and nest boxes. This method is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and has low efficiency. SUMMARY

The empty nest recovery port 4 is arranged on the periphery of the syringe loading area 1. The empty nest recovery mechanism 5 is arranged between the empty nest recovery port 4 and the storage area 3.
[0033] The syringe conveying mechanism 7 is used for conveying syringes. The first transfer mechanism 9 is used for grabbing the syringes on the syringe conveying mechanism 7 to the nest plate 91 in the syringe loading area 1. The empty nest conveying mechanism 2 is used for conveying the nest plate 91 and the nest box 92. The second transfer mechanism 8 is used for grabbing the nest plate 91 on the empty nest conveying mechanism 2 to the syringe loading area 1, and for grabbing the empty nest plate 91 and / or the nest box 92 to the empty nest recovery port 4. The working process is as follows: the nest plate 91 and the nest box 92 are conveyed along the empty nest conveying mechanism 2; the nest plate 91 on the empty nest conveying mechanism 2 is transferred to the syringe loading area 1 by the second transfer mechanism 8, and the syringe loading is performed in the syringe loading area 1; the excess nest plate 91 and the nest box 92 are sent to the empty nest recovery port 4, and are recovered to the storage area 3 by the empty nest recovery mechanism 5. The nest returning device is mainly applied to the rear end of the lamp inspection machine. The syringes on the nest plate 91 are taken out at the front end of the lamp inspection machine, and are sent into the lamp inspection machine for detection. After passing the detection, the qualified syringes are returned to the nest plate 91 from the rear end of the lamp inspection machine. Since the unqualified syringes need to be removed after the detection by the lamp inspection machine, the excess nest plate 91 and the nest box 92 will be caused. The nest returning device can recover the excess nest plate 91 and the nest box 92, which saves time and labor, and can improve the production efficiency.
[0034] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The empty nest recovery port 4 comprises a nest plate recovery port 41 and a nest box recovery port 42. The storage area 3 comprises a nest plate storage area 31 and a nest box storage area 32. The empty nest recovery mechanism 5 comprises a nest plate recovery mechanism 51 and a nest box recovery mechanism 52. The nest plate recovery mechanism 51 is arranged between the nest plate recovery port 41 and the nest plate storage area 31. The nest box recovery mechanism 52 is arranged between the nest box recovery port 42 and the nest box storage area 32. The excess nest plate 91 is grabbed to the nest plate recovery port 41 by the second transfer mechanism 8, and is conveyed to the nest plate storage area 31 for temporary storage by the nest plate recovery mechanism 51. The excess nest box 92 is grabbed to the nest box recovery port 42 by the second transfer mechanism 8, and is conveyed to the nest box storage area 32 for temporary storage by the nest box recovery mechanism 52. The nest plate 91 and the nest box 92 are collected separately, which is convenient for subsequent taking and using.
[0035] In the embodiment, the nest plate recovery port 41 and the nest box recovery port 42 are respectively located on the two sides of the syringe delivery area 1. The structure is compact and the layout is reasonable.
[0036] In the embodiment, the nest plate recovery mechanism 51 comprises a first lifting conveying assembly 511 and a first horizontal conveying assembly 512. The first lifting conveying assembly 511 is arranged below the nest plate recovery port 41, and the first horizontal conveying assembly 512 is arranged between the first lifting conveying assembly 511 and the nest plate storage area 31. The nest box recovery mechanism 52 comprises a second lifting conveying assembly 521 and a second horizontal conveying assembly 522. The second lifting conveying assembly 521 is arranged below the nest box recovery port 42, and the second horizontal conveying assembly 522 is arranged between the second lifting conveying assembly 521 and the nest box storage area 32.
[0037] In the embodiment, the nest recovery device further comprises a table plate 6. The syringe delivery area 1, the empty nest conveying mechanism 2 and the empty nest recovery port 4 are arranged on the table plate 6, and the empty nest recovery mechanism 5 is arranged below the table plate 6. The table plate 6 is an enclosed working area. The nest plate recovery port 41 and the nest box recovery port 42 are arranged on the table plate 6. The empty nest plate 91 and the nest box are sent out through the nest plate recovery port 41 and the nest box recovery port 42 respectively, and are recovered into the nest plate storage area 31 and the nest box storage area 32. Due to the conveying effect of the nest plate recovery mechanism 51 and the nest box recovery mechanism 52, the nest plate storage area 31 and the nest box storage area 32 can be arranged outside the working area on the table plate 6.
[0038] In the embodiment, two parallel nest plate conveying mechanisms 11 are arranged in the syringe delivery area 1. The nest plate conveying mechanism 11 is used to carry and convey the nest plate 91, so as to facilitate the conveying of the nest plate 91 in the syringe delivery area 1. The two parallel nest plate conveying mechanisms 11 can be used alternately, so as to improve the working efficiency. Specifically, the nest plate conveying mechanism 11 is perpendicular to the empty nest conveying mechanism 2.
[0039] In the embodiment, the second transfer mechanism 8 is a grabbing mechanism. Figure 5 Fig. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a grabbing head 81 of the second transfer mechanism 8, Figure 6 Fig. 5 is another structural schematic diagram of the grabbing head 81 of the second transfer mechanism 8.

[0042] S1: Conveying of the nest plate 91 and the nest box 92: the nest plate 91 and the nest box 92 are conveyed along the empty nest conveying mechanism 2;
[0043] S2: Syringe loading and empty nest recycling: The nest board 91 on the empty nest conveying mechanism 2 is transferred to the syringe loading area 1 by the second transfer mechanism 8, where syringes are loaded; excess nest boards 91 and nest boxes 92 are sent to the empty nest recycling port 4 and recycled to the storage area 3 by the empty nest recycling mechanism 5.
[0044] This homing method is mainly used at the back end of light inspection machines, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the nest board 91 and the syringe on the nest board 91 are removed from the nest box 92 at the front end of the light inspection machine. The syringe is sent into the light inspection machine for testing. After passing the test, it is put back onto the nest board 91 from the rear end of the light inspection machine. Then, the nest board 91 filled with syringes is put into the nest box 92. Since the unqualified syringes need to be removed after the light inspection machine, there will be excess nest board 91 and nest box 92. This nest return method can recycle the excess nest board 91 and nest box 92, saving time and effort and improving production efficiency.
