Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food and pharmaceutical packaging machinery and equipment, and in particular to a bottle tray filling machine and method. Background Technology

[0002] After the vials in a pharmaceutical factory are filled and sealed, they need to be trayed, loaded onto trucks, and sent to a sterilizer for sterilization. The traying process is usually done manually or with some simple equipment, which is inefficient, prone to tipping over or not filling completely, and cannot accurately record the number of vials on the tray. Furthermore, it is impossible to achieve online batch tracking, which cannot meet the requirements of modern pharmaceutical production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a bottle tray loading machine and method that can make the bottles arranged compactly and neatly, avoid bottle jamming and tipping, and improve production efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A bottle loading machine includes a single-row bottle feeding mechanism, the end of which is a bottle pushing section. One side of the bottle pushing section has a tray buffer area, and the other side has a row-pushing mechanism for pushing the bottles in the row from the bottle pushing section to the tray buffer area. The end of the bottle pushing section has a staggered arrangement mechanism for limiting the stopping position of the bottles on the single-row bottle feeding mechanism. The front end of the bottle pushing section has a blocking and releasing mechanism for blocking and releasing bottles. The tray buffer area has a loading area on the side opposite to the bottle pushing section. The loading machine also includes a bottle pushing and protecting mechanism for protecting the bottles when the row-pushing mechanism pushes the bottles, a tray pushing mechanism for pushing the bottles in the tray buffer area to the loading area as a whole, and a tray protecting mechanism for protecting the bottles when the tray pushing mechanism pushes the bottles. The area of ​​the tray buffer area is larger than that of the loading area.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0007] A lifting guide plate is provided between the bottle pushing section and the tray buffer area.

[0008] The bottle-pushing mechanism includes a telescopic bottle-pushing component and a bottle-pushing plate, wherein the bottle-pushing plate is located at the telescopic end of the telescopic bottle-pushing component.

[0009] The bottle pusher and bottle protector mechanism includes a bottle pusher and bottle protector plate and a bottle pusher and bottle protector drive assembly for driving the bottle pusher and bottle protector plate to move up, down and across.

[0010] The tray-feeding and bottle-pushing mechanism includes a tray-feeding and bottle-pushing plate and a tray-feeding and bottle-pushing drive assembly for driving the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing plate to move up, down and across.

[0011] The bottle pusher and bottle protector plate and the tray pusher plate are both located above the tray buffer area, and the bottle pusher and bottle protector drive assembly and the tray pusher drive assembly are located above and below the tray buffer area, respectively.

[0012] The staggered arrangement mechanism includes a staggered telescopic component and a bottle baffle plate. The bottle baffle plate is located at the telescopic end of the staggered telescopic component and at the end of the bottle pushing section.

[0013] The single-row bottle feeding mechanism is equipped with a bottle inversion detection mechanism, a waste rejection mechanism, and a counting mechanism for calculating the number of bottles fed in.

[0014] The tray loading area is equipped with a tray feeding mechanism below, a tray pressing mechanism above, and a tray discharging mechanism on one side.

[0015] A method for packaging bottles onto a tray includes the following steps:

[0016] S1. Place the tray in the loading area;

[0017] S2, Single row bottle feeding: The single row bottle feeding mechanism transports a single row of bottles to the bottle pushing section. The staggered arrangement mechanism stops the front and rear single rows of bottles at staggered positions. The blocking mechanism allows the front and rear single rows of bottles to enter the bottle pushing section at intervals.

[0018] S3, Single-row bottle pusher: The bottle pusher and bottle protection mechanism protects one side of the single-row bottle body, and the entire row bottle pusher mechanism pushes the single-row bottle body to the tray buffer area until a set of bottles that can fill a tray is formed in the tray buffer area.

[0019] S4: Placing: The infeed bottle protection mechanism protects one side of the bottle set, and the infeed bottle pushing mechanism pushes the bottle set on the other side, pushing the bottle set in the infeed buffer area into the tray body of the plating area.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] The bottle loading machine of this invention has a rationally designed overall structure. A single-row bottle feeding mechanism feeds bottles in a single row, ensuring neat bottle arrangement and facilitating subsequent row-by-row bottle pushing from one side. After the first row of bottles enters the pushing section, a blocking mechanism prevents the next row from entering, avoiding interference between the two rows during the row-by-row pushing process. A staggered arrangement mechanism stops the first and second rows of bottles at offset positions on the pushing section, ensuring that adjacent rows of bottles in the tray buffer area are staggered, resulting in a more compact bottle arrangement without gaps caused by missing bottles. This prevents bottle jamming during the bottle pushing process and avoids bottles tipping over during subsequent tray movement. A tray-feeding buffer area is set between the tray-filling area and the single-row bottle feeding mechanism. Bottles first form a cluster in the tray-feeding buffer area before being pushed onto the tray as a whole, ensuring a compact and neat arrangement of bottles and preventing jamming and tipping. Furthermore, the area of ​​the tray-feeding buffer area is larger than that of the tray-filling area; that is, the tray-feeding buffer area is longer in the pushing direction than the length of the bottle cluster that can fill a tray. This allows the single-row bottle feeding mechanism to simultaneously push bottles to the tray-feeding buffer area while the tray-feeding bottle pushing mechanism pushes the bottle cluster, thus improving production efficiency. This bottle tray-filling machine enables compact and neat bottle arrangement, prevents bottle jamming and tipping, and improves production efficiency.

[0022] In the bottle loading machine of the present invention, before the bottles enter the bottle pushing section, a lifting guide plate rises to a high position protecting one side of the bottle pushing section, and an entire row of bottle pushing mechanisms protects the other side of the bottle pushing section to prevent the bottles from tipping over from both sides. After the entire row of bottles is stopped in place by the staggered arrangement mechanism, a blocking mechanism prevents the bottles from entering, and the lifting guide plate descends to a low position level with the inlet tray buffer area. The entire row of bottle pushing mechanisms then pushes the single row of bottles on the bottle pushing section into the inlet tray buffer area. When the lifting guide plate is raised to the high position, it has a guiding and anti-tipping function; when it is lowered to the low position, it has a docking function between the inlet tray buffer area and the bottle pushing section.

[0023] The bottle loading method of this invention uses a single-row bottle feeding mechanism to feed bottles in a single row, ensuring neat arrangement of the bottles and facilitating subsequent full-row pushing from one side. After the first row of bottles enters the pushing section, a blocking mechanism prevents the subsequent row of bottles from entering, avoiding interference between the two rows of bottles during the full-row pushing process. A staggered arrangement mechanism stops the first and second rows of bottles at offset positions on the pushing section, ensuring that adjacent rows of bottles in the loading tray buffer area are staggered, resulting in a more compact bottle arrangement without gaps caused by missing bottles. This prevents the loading tray pushing mechanism from jamming bottles during the loading process and from tipping over during subsequent tray movement. The bottles are first assembled in the loading tray buffer area and then pushed as a whole into the tray, ensuring a compact and neat arrangement and preventing jamming and tipping. While the loading tray pushing mechanism is pushing the bottles, the single-row bottle feeding mechanism can simultaneously push bottles into the loading tray buffer area, improving production efficiency. This bottle loading method achieves a compact and neat bottle arrangement, avoids jamming and tipping, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Figures 1 to 4This invention illustrates an embodiment of a bottle loading machine. The machine includes a single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1, with the end of the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 designated as a bottle pushing section 11. One side of the bottle pushing section 11 is provided with a tray-feeding buffer area 2, and the other side is provided with a row-pushing bottle mechanism 3 for pushing the bottles from the bottle pushing section 11 into the tray-feeding buffer area 2. The end of the bottle pushing section 11 is provided with a staggered arrangement mechanism 4 for limiting the stopping position of the bottles on the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1. The front end of the bottle pushing section 11 is provided with a blocking and releasing mechanism 5 for blocking and releasing bottles. The tray-feeding buffer area 2 has a loading area 6 on the side opposite to the bottle pushing section 11. The machine also includes a bottle pushing and protecting mechanism 7 for protecting the bottles when the row-pushing bottle mechanism 3 pushes the bottles, a tray-feeding bottle pushing mechanism 8 for pushing the entire bottle from the tray-feeding buffer area 2 into the loading area 6, and a tray-feeding bottle protecting mechanism 9 for protecting the bottles when the tray-feeding bottle pushing mechanism 8 pushes the bottles. The area of ​​the tray-feeding buffer area 2 is larger than that of the loading area 6.

[0034] The working process of this bottle loading machine is as follows: First, the tray is placed in the loading area 6; second, the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 transports the single-row bottles to the bottle pushing section 11, the staggered arrangement mechanism 4 stops the front and rear single-row bottles in staggered positions, and the blocking mechanism 5 allows the front and rear single-row bottles to enter the bottle pushing section 11 at intervals; next, the bottle pushing and protecting mechanism 7 protects one side of the single-row bottles, and the whole-row bottle pushing mechanism 3 pushes the other side of the single-row bottles, pushing the single-row bottles to the tray buffer area 2 until a set of bottles that can fill a tray is formed in the tray buffer area 2; finally, the tray bottle protecting mechanism 9 protects one side of the bottle set, and the tray pushing mechanism 8 pushes the other side of the bottle set, pushing the bottle set in the tray buffer area 2 into the tray in the loading area 6, completing the loading.

[0035] The overall structure of this bottle loading machine is reasonably coordinated. The single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 feeds bottles in a single row, making the bottles neatly arranged and facilitating subsequent row-by-row bottle pushing from one side. After the first row of bottles enters the bottle pushing section 11, the blocking mechanism 5 blocks the entry of the next row of bottles, preventing interference between the front and rear rows of bottles during the bottle pushing process of the row-by-row bottle pushing mechanism 3. The staggered arrangement mechanism 4 stops the front and rear single rows of bottles at staggered positions on the bottle pushing section 11, so that the adjacent rows of bottles on the tray buffer area 2 are staggered, making the bottle arrangement more compact and eliminating gaps caused by missing bottles. This prevents the bottle pushing mechanism 8 from jamming bottles during the bottle pushing process and prevents bottles from tipping over during the subsequent tray movement. A tray-feeding buffer area 2 is set between the tray-filling area 6 and the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1. Bottles first form a bottle cluster in the tray-feeding buffer area 2, and then are pushed as a whole into the tray, ensuring a compact and neat arrangement of bottles and preventing bottle jamming and tipping. Furthermore, the area of ​​the tray-feeding buffer area 2 is larger than that of the tray-filling area 6; that is, the tray-feeding buffer area 2 is longer in the pushing direction than the length of the bottle cluster that can fill a tray. Thus, while the tray-feeding bottle pushing mechanism 8 pushes the bottle cluster, the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 can simultaneously push bottles into the tray-feeding buffer area 2, improving production efficiency. This bottle tray-filling machine enables compact and neat bottle arrangement, prevents bottle jamming and tipping, and improves production efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a lifting guide plate 91 is provided between the bottle pushing section 11 and the inlet tray buffer area 2. Before the bottle enters the bottle pushing section 11, the lifting guide plate 91 rises to a high position protecting one side of the bottle pushing section 11, while the bottle pushing mechanism 3 protects the other side of the bottle pushing section 11 to prevent the bottle from tipping over. After the entire row of bottles is stopped in place by the staggered arrangement mechanism 4, the blocking mechanism 5 stops the bottle from entering, and the lifting guide plate 91 descends to a low position flush with the inlet tray buffer area 2. The bottle pushing mechanism 3 then pushes the single row of bottles on the bottle pushing section 11 into the inlet tray buffer area 2. When the lifting guide plate 91 is raised to the high position, it serves to guide and prevent bottle tipping; when it is lowered to the low position, it serves to connect the inlet tray buffer area 2 and the bottle pushing section 11. Specifically, the lifting guide plate 91 is connected to a lifting drive component, such as a lifting hydraulic cylinder, lifting electric cylinder, or lifting pneumatic cylinder, which drives the lifting guide plate 91 to rise and fall.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bottle-pushing mechanism 3 includes a telescopic bottle-pushing component 31 and a bottle-pushing plate 32, with the bottle-pushing plate 32 located at the telescopic end of the telescopic bottle-pushing component 31. The bottle-pushing plate 32 is parallel to the bottle-pushing section 11, and under the driving action of the telescopic bottle-pushing component 31, it pushes the single row of bottles on the bottle-pushing section 11 into the tray buffer area 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottle pushing and protecting mechanism 7 includes a bottle pushing and protecting plate 71 and a bottle pushing and protecting drive assembly 72 for driving the bottle pushing and protecting plate 71 to rise, fall, and translate. During the process of the entire row of bottle pushing plates 32 pushing bottles from the rear side of a single row of bottles (the side facing away from the tray buffer area 2), the bottle pushing and protecting plate 71 protects the front side of the single row of bottles. Under the driving action of the bottle pushing and protecting drive assembly 72, the bottle pushing and protecting plate 71 moves synchronously with the entire row of bottle pushing plates 32 until the single row of bottles moves to the designated position in the tray buffer area 2. Then, under the drive of the bottle pushing and protecting drive assembly 72, the bottle pushing and protecting plate 71 rises, moves backward, and then falls again until it returns to the initial position close to the bottle pushing section 11, ready to protect the bottles again.

[0039] In this embodiment, the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing mechanism 8 includes a tray-feeding and bottle-pushing plate 81 and a tray-feeding and bottle-pushing drive assembly 82 for driving the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing plate 81 to rise, fall, and translate. The tray-feeding and bottle-pushing process is as follows: First, the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing plate 81 descends from its initial position (above the rear side of the bottle set on the tray buffer area 2) to the rear side of the bottle set on the tray buffer area 2 (facing the bottle-pushing section 11), with the tray-feeding and bottle-protecting mechanism 9 protecting the front side of the bottle set. Next, the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing plate 81 translates forward under the drive of the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing drive assembly 82, pushing the bottle set into the tray body of the tray area 6. During the bottle-pushing process, the tray-feeding and bottle-protecting mechanism 9 moves synchronously with the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing plate 81 to protect the bottle. Then, the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing plate 81 rises and retracts under the drive of the tray-feeding and bottle-pushing drive assembly 82, returning to its initial position in preparation for pushing bottles again.

[0040] In this embodiment, both the bottle-protecting plate 71 and the tray-feeding bottle-pushing plate 81 are located above the tray-feeding buffer area 2, and the bottle-protecting drive assembly 72 and the tray-feeding bottle-pushing drive assembly 82 are located above and below the tray-feeding buffer area 2, respectively. This positioning ensures that the bottle-protecting plate 71 and the tray-feeding bottle-pushing plate 81 will not interfere with each other during lifting, lowering, and translation. Specifically, the tray-feeding bottle-pushing drive assembly 82 is located above the tray-feeding buffer area 2, which facilitates pushing the bottle set into the tray body of the tray-loading area 6 and prevents the tray-feeding bottle-pushing drive assembly 82 from interfering with the components of the tray-feeding buffer area 2 during the process of pushing the bottles into the tray.

[0041] In this embodiment, the staggered arrangement mechanism 4 includes a staggered telescopic member 41 and a bottle baffle 42. The bottle baffle 42 is located at the telescopic end of the staggered telescopic member 41 and at the end of the bottle pushing section 11. When the first row of bottles is conveyed to the bottle pushing section 11 by the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 and abuts against the bottle baffle 42, the staggered telescopic member 41 is in a retracted state, and the entire row of bottle pushing plates 32 pushes the first row of bottles toward the inlet tray buffer area 2 by one bottle. When the second row of bottles enters the bottle pushing section 11 and abuts against the bottle baffle 42, the staggered telescopic member 41 is in an extended state. At this time, the bottle baffle 42 is located at a position that is translated one bottle toward the bottle, so that the second row of bottles and the first row of bottles are staggered by one bottle. Then, the entire row of bottle pushing plates 32 pushes the second row of bottles and the first row of bottles toward the inlet tray buffer area 2 by one bottle. By analogy, ultimately, the bottles in the odd-numbered rows are aligned, and the bottles in the even-numbered rows are aligned, with the overall bottle body staggered and brought together, making the bottles more tightly packed and facilitating stable movement of the entire bottle body. The staggered telescopic component 41 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder.

[0042] In this embodiment, the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 is equipped with a bottle tilting detection mechanism 12, a waste rejection mechanism 13, and a counting mechanism 14 for calculating the number of bottles fed in. The bottle tilting detection mechanism 12 is used to detect whether the bottles are tilted. The waste rejection mechanism 13 is used to reject unqualified products. The counting mechanism 14 is used to calculate the number of bottles on the bottle pushing section 11 to ensure that the number of bottles in each row is the same. The counting mechanism 14 and the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 are combined to facilitate accurate counting of the bottles.

[0043] In this embodiment, a tray feeding mechanism 61 is provided below the tray loading area 6, a tray pressing mechanism 62 is provided above it, and a tray discharging mechanism 63 is provided on one side. The tray body is input into the tray loading area 6 through the tray feeding mechanism 61. The tray pressing mechanism 62 is used to press the tray body tightly during tray loading. After the tray loading is completed, the tray pressing mechanism 62 rises, releasing the restraint on the tray body below, and the tray body filled with bottle body is output from the tray discharging mechanism 63.

[0044] Specifically, a top plate mechanism is provided between the plate feeding mechanism 61 and the plate loading area 6 to lift the plate on the plate feeding mechanism 61 to the plate loading area 6.

[0045] An electronic tag reader / writer sensor is installed on one side of the tray loading area 6. This sensor is used to write information such as bottle specifications, quantity, time, and tray symbol onto the electronic tag on the tray after loading. By using electronic tags and the electronic tag reader / writer sensor, information such as the specifications, quantity, time, and tray symbol of each tray of bottles can be recorded into the tray. This allows the tray to quickly acquire data before and after sterilization via the electronic tag reader / writer sensor, facilitating automated and intelligent management.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] A method for loading bottles onto trays, using the bottle loading machine of Embodiment 1, includes the following steps:

[0048] S1. Place the disk in the loading area 6;

[0049] S2, Single row bottle feeding: The single row bottle feeding mechanism 1 transports the single row of bottles to the bottle pushing section 11. The staggered arrangement mechanism 4 stops the front and rear single rows of bottles in staggered positions. The blocking mechanism 5 allows the front and rear single rows of bottles to enter the bottle pushing section 11 at intervals.

[0050] S3, Single row bottle pusher: The bottle pusher and bottle protector 7 protects one side of the single row of bottles, and the whole row bottle pusher 3 pushes the other side of the single row of bottles, pushing the single row of bottles to the tray buffer area 2 until a set of bottles that can fill a tray is formed in the tray buffer area 2.

[0051] S4: Placing: The inlet bottle protection mechanism 9 protects one side of the bottle set, and the inlet bottle pushing mechanism 8 pushes the bottle set to the other side, pushing the bottle set in the inlet buffer area 2 into the tray body of the plating area 6.

[0052] The single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 feeds bottles in a single row, ensuring neat arrangement and facilitating subsequent full-row bottle pushing from one side. After the first row of bottles enters the bottle pushing section 11, the blocking mechanism 5 prevents the next row of bottles from entering, avoiding interference between the two rows of bottles during the full-row bottle pushing process of the full-row bottle pushing mechanism 3. The staggered arrangement mechanism 4 stops the first and second rows of bottles at staggered positions on the bottle pushing section 11, ensuring that adjacent rows of bottles in the tray buffer area 2 are staggered, resulting in a more compact bottle arrangement without gaps caused by missing bottles. This prevents the bottle pushing mechanism 8 from jamming during the bottle assembly process and avoids bottles tipping over during subsequent tray movement. The bottles are first assembled in the tray buffer area 2 and then pushed into the tray as a whole, ensuring a compact and neat arrangement and preventing bottle jamming and tipping. While the bottle pushing mechanism 8 is pushing the bottle assembly, the single-row bottle feeding mechanism 1 can simultaneously push bottles into the tray buffer area 2, improving production efficiency. This bottle loading method ensures a compact and neat bottle arrangement, avoids bottle jamming and tipping, and improves production efficiency.

[0053] While the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solutions of the present invention, or modify them into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the scope of the present invention, should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
