Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automatic blister pack sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Pharmaceutical production mainly includes drug synthesis and processing, process control, production management, and quality testing. Examples include: production and testing of vaccines, protein and nucleic acid drugs; identification of animal-derived traditional Chinese medicines, mineral-derived traditional Chinese medicines, and proprietary Chinese medicines; and drug research and development.

[0003] Nowadays, in the production and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, most drugs are stored in bottles or blister packs. However, when transporting blister packs, existing blister pack conveying devices need to separate the blister packs to facilitate production and meet the needs of different production lines. However, during the separation process, when the blister packs come into contact with each other at the end of the two tracks, the blister packs are easy to fall off or be pulled, resulting in damage to the blister packs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in existing blister pack conveying devices, when blister packs are conveyed in separate tracks, they are easily detached or pulled apart, leading to damage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic blister pack sorting device, comprising a worktable, a gripping device, a conveying device, a sorting device, and a limiting device. The worktable is equipped with a robotic arm for controlling the operation of the gripping device and a storage box, as well as multiple rollers and a conveyor belt for transporting the storage box. The conveyor belt is located between the outer surfaces of the multiple rollers. The feed end of the conveying device and the discharge end of the sorting device are adjacent. The sorting device includes two elastic belts and a chain belt with a gradually increasing distance from the feed end to the discharge end. The conveying device includes multiple detectors for detecting blister packs and two conveying tracks. The blister packs are conveyed by the chain belt to the space between the two elastic belts. When the blister packs are conveyed to the conveying device through the two elastic belts, the distance between the two elastic belts gradually increases, so when one end of the blister pack enters the conveying device, its tail end is separated from the two elastic belts. When multiple detectors on the conveying device simultaneously detect the blister packs, the robotic arm drives the gripping device to grip the blister packs and place them into the storage box. After the storage box is full of blister packs, the limiting device opens, allowing the conveyor belt to transfer the storage box out under the rotation of the rollers.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping device includes a fixing plate, and a bidirectional cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate near both sides, and a clamping plate is fixed between one end of each of the two bidirectional cylinders.

[0007] Preferably, a raised platform is provided between the bottoms of the two conveying tracks, a conveyor belt is provided inside the two conveying tracks, a plurality of detectors are fixed at equal intervals at one end of the two conveying tracks, a drive wheel is provided inside the two conveying tracks near both sides, and the two conveyor belts are respectively provided on the outer surface of the drive wheel.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the chain is provided with a bracket, and two fixed platforms are fixed at the top of the bracket near one side edge. Each of the two fixed platforms is provided with a slide rail, each of the two slide rails is provided with a connecting plate, and each of the two connecting plates is rotatably connected with a cover plate.

[0009] Preferably, both elastic bands are rotatably connected inside the two cover plates, and a lifter is provided between the tops of the two cover plates.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting device includes a support plate, a baffle is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the support plate, a cylinder is provided on one side of the support plate, and one end of the cylinder is rotatably connected to one side of the baffle.

[0011] Preferably, the storage box has multiple limiting openings equidistantly spaced on its inner bottom surface, and each of the two conveying tracks has multiple medicine blister bodies inside.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this invention, when the blister pack is conveyed, it is conveyed between two elastic belts via a chain belt. When it is conveyed to the conveying device via the two elastic belts, the distance between the two elastic belts gradually increases. Therefore, when one end of the blister pack enters the conveying device, the tail end is separated from the two elastic belts, thereby preventing the blister pack from falling.

[0014] 2. In this invention, when the clamping device clamps the blister pack body, the extension and retraction of two bidirectional cylinders can drive the clamping plate to hold the blister pack body. The conveyor belt is set inside the conveying track, so that it can provide power for conveying the blister pack body. In addition, the blister pack body can be guided by the two sides of the conveying track during the conveying process.

[0015] 3. In this invention, when the medicine blister body needs to be separated during the conveying process using the separating device, the extension and retraction of the lifting device drives the two cover plates to rotate, so that one end of the two cover plates can swing to another conveying track. After swinging, the distance between the two elastic bands on opposite sides can be adjusted by adjusting the slide rail, thereby controlling the pressing force on the medicine blister body, which makes it convenient for people to convey medicine blister bodies of different specifications.

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Example 1, such as Figure 1-5As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for an automatic blister pack sorting device: including a worktable 1, a gripping device 3, a conveying device 7, a sorting device 8, and a limiting device 9. The worktable 1 is equipped with a robotic arm 2 for controlling the operation of the gripping device 3 and a storage box 5, as well as multiple rollers 41 and a conveyor belt 4 for transporting the storage box 5. The conveyor belt 4 is located between the outer surfaces of the multiple rollers 41. The feed end of the conveying device 7 and the discharge end of the sorting device 8 are adjacent. The sorting device 8 includes two elastic belts 87 and a chain belt 83 with the distance gradually increasing from the feed end to the discharge end. The conveying device 7 includes multiple detectors 73 for detecting blister packs. The blister pack is conveyed by a chain belt 83 to the space between two elastic belts 87. As it passes through the two elastic belts 87 and is conveyed to the conveying device 7, the distance between the two elastic belts 87 gradually increases. As one end of the blister pack enters the conveying device 7, the tail end is separated from the two elastic belts 87. When multiple detectors 73 on the conveying device 7 simultaneously detect the blister pack, the robotic arm 2 drives the gripping device 3 to grip the blister pack and place it into the storage box 5. After the storage box 5 is filled with blister packs, the limiting device 9 opens, so that the rotation of the roller 41 drives the conveyor belt 4 to transfer the storage box 5 out.

[0025] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is that when the blister pack 75 is conveyed, it is first conveyed by the chain belt 83 to the space between two elastic belts 87. When it is conveyed to the conveying device 7 through the two elastic belts 87, the distance between the two elastic belts 87 gradually increases. Therefore, when one end of the blister pack 75 enters the conveying device 7, the tail end is separated from the two elastic belts 87, which can prevent the blister pack 75 from falling. When multiple detectors 73 on the conveying device 7 simultaneously sense the blister pack 75, they transmit the signal to the robotic arm 2, which can drive the gripping device 3 to grip the blister pack 75 and put it into the storage box 5. After the storage box 5 is full, the limiting device 9 opens, so that the rotation of the roller 41 drives the conveyor belt 4 to transfer the storage box 5 out.

[0026] Example 2, as Figure 1-5 As shown, the clamping device 3 includes a fixing plate 31. Two-way cylinders 32 are fixed at the bottom of the fixing plate 31 near both sides. A clamping plate 33 is fixed between one end of each of the two two-way cylinders 32. A raising platform 74 is provided between the bottoms of the two conveying tracks 71. A conveyor belt 72 is provided inside each of the two conveying tracks 71. Multiple detectors 73 are fixed at equal intervals at one end of the two conveying tracks 71. A drive wheel 76 is provided inside each of the two conveying tracks 71 near both sides. The two conveyor belts 72 are respectively provided on the outer surface of the drive wheel 76.

[0027] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is that when the clamping device 3 clamps the medicine plate body 75, the extension and retraction of the two bidirectional cylinders 32 can drive the clamping plate 33 to clamp the medicine plate body 75. The conveyor belt 72 is set inside the conveying track 71, so that it can provide the power to convey the medicine plate body 75. In addition, the medicine plate body 75 can be guided by the two sides of the conveying track 71 during the conveying process.

[0028] Example 3, as Figure 1-5 As shown, a support 81 is provided at the bottom of the chain belt 83. Two fixed platforms 82 are fixed at the top of the support 81 near one edge. A slide rail 84 is provided at the top of each of the two fixed platforms 82. A connecting plate 88 is provided at the top of each of the two slide rails 84. A cover plate 85 is rotatably connected to the top of each of the two connecting plates 88. Two elastic belts 87 are rotatably connected to the inside of the two cover plates 85. A lifting device 86 is provided between the tops of the two cover plates 85. The limiting device 9 includes a support plate 91. A baffle 93 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the support plate 91. A cylinder 92 is provided on one side of the support plate 91. One end of the cylinder 92 is rotatably connected to one side of the baffle 93. Multiple limiting ports 6 are equidistantly opened on the bottom surface of the storage box 5. Multiple medicine plate bodies 75 are provided inside the two conveying tracks 71.

[0029] The overall effect of embodiment 3 is that, when the separation device 8 is used to transport the blister pack 75, when separation is required, the extension and retraction of the lifting device 86 first drives the two cover plates 85 to rotate, so that one end of the two cover plates 85 can swing onto another conveying track 71. After swinging, the distance between the two elastic bands 87 on opposite sides can be adjusted by adjusting the slide rail 84, thereby controlling the pressing force on the blister pack 75, which facilitates the transport of blister packs 75 of different specifications. At the same time, a limiting port 6 is provided inside the storage box 5 to facilitate the storage and limiting of the blister pack 75 and prevent shaking. Finally, when transporting the storage box 5, the cylinder 92 is used to drive the baffle 93 to move, so that the limiting of the storage box 5 can be released.

[0030] It should be noted that many of the standard parts used in this invention are available on the market, while non-standard parts can be specially customized. The connection methods used in this invention, such as bolt connection and welding, are also very common in the mechanical field, and the inventor will not elaborate on them here.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, 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 shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
