Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medicine bottle palletizing, and particularly relates to a medicine bottle palletizing and loading equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, robot automation packaging technology has gradually expanded to various industrial fields, especially the daily necessities and pharmaceutical industries. The reliability, working efficiency and operability of robots are steadily improving. When producing medicine bottles, it is necessary to pack the medicine bottles for convenient subsequent production operations.

[0003] Currently, when packing medicine bottles on an automatic medicine bottle production line, it is usually necessary to use manipulators to horizontally or vertically arrange the scattered medicine bottles, and then pick up and pack a whole row of medicine bottles after passing through a detection mechanism. This packing method requires multiple manipulators to work together, increasing the usage cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is mainly to solve the problem that when packing medicine bottles, multiple manipulators need to work together, increasing the usage cost.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A medicine bottle palletizing and loading equipment includes a workbench, a limiting mechanism, a palletizing device and a conveying device. A palletizing box and several conveying rollers for conveying the palletizing box are provided on the workbench. The conveying device includes a photoelectric sensor, a conveyor belt and a stop plate. The palletizing device includes a dial plate. The stop plate and the photoelectric sensor are located on the same horizontal plane perpendicular to the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt drives the medicine bottles for conveying, the medicine bottles are horizontally arranged and palletized under the block of the dial plate when they are conveyed to one end of the conveyor belt. When the horizontal arrangement length of the medicine bottles extends to the stop plate, the photoelectric sensor is triggered to drive the stop plate to extend forward to cut off the medicine bottles conveyed on one side of the conveyor belt, and at the same time, the palletizing device works to drive the dial plate to move, so as to push the horizontally palletized medicine bottles into the interior of the palletizing box. When the medicine bottles in the palletizing box are palletized full, they are conveyed out through the conveying rollers.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes two fixing plates, which are respectively installed on the workbench. A plurality of the conveying rollers are respectively located on both sides of the workbench, and both fixing plates are correspondingly located on one side of the conveying rollers. Two side plates are fixed on the top of both fixing plates. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the side plates located on each fixing plate.

[0007] Preferably, blocks are fixed on the outer surfaces of both rotating shafts near both side edges, swing rods are fixed on the outer surfaces of both rotating shafts at the middle part, one ends of both swing rods are rotatably connected to cylinders, and the outer surfaces of both cylinders at the middle part are rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixing plate.

[0008] Preferably, the stacking device includes two mounting seats. Sliding tables are fixed to the tops of the two mounting seats. Lead screws are arranged inside the two sliding tables. Sliding plates are arranged on the tops of the two mounting seats. The two sliding plates are both mounted on the lead screws. The dial plates are respectively and fixedly arranged on one side of the two sliding plates. The bottoms of the two dial plates respectively extend into the stacking box.

[0009] Preferably, four guide plates are fixed to the top of the workbench. The four guide plates are divided into two groups. The two guide plates close to one side of the workbench are in one group. Each group of two guide plates respectively fits against the inner walls on both sides of the stacking box.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying device includes a mounting frame. Two channel steels are fixed to the top of the mounting frame. Belt pulleys are rotatably connected to both ends of the two channel steels. The conveyor belts are respectively arranged on the belt pulleys in each of the two channel steels. Motors are fixed to one side of the two channel steels. The two motors are respectively connected to the belt pulleys.

[0011] Preferably, brackets are fixed to the two channel steels. Counters are fixed to the bottoms of the two brackets. Nylon plates are fixed to the tops of the two channel steels near the two side edges.

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

[0013] 1. In the present invention, first, the stacking box is placed on the workbench. When the conveyor belt drives the medicine bottles to be conveyed, when the medicine bottles are conveyed to one end of the conveyor belt, they are horizontally arranged and stacked under the block of the dial plate. When the horizontal arrangement length of the medicine bottles extends to the cut-off plate, the photoelectric sensor is triggered to drive the cut-off plate to stretch forward to cut off the medicine bottles conveyed on one side of the conveyor belt. At the same time, the stacking device works to drive the dial plate to move, and then the horizontally stacked medicines can be pushed into the stacking box. When the medicine bottles in the stacking box are stacked full, they are conveyed out through the conveying rollers. The whole process adopts an assembly line production mode, thus avoiding the cooperation of multiple manipulators and the need to separately set up a vision detection device that moves with the manipulator to detect the arranged medicine bottles, reducing the production cost.

[0014] 2. In the present invention, when conveying the stacking box, it is convenient for the stacking box to move through the conveying rollers. At the same time, during the moving process, the stacking box is blocked by the stoppers on the limiting mechanism, so that the sliding phenomenon can be prevented. And when the air cylinder does not stretch or retract, the two stoppers are always in the blocking state. When the horizontally arranged medicines are moved from the conveyor belt to the inside of the stacking box by the dial plate, under the guidance of the two guide plates, when the dial plate slides finally, it will not rub against both sides, and at the same time, the stacking box can be guided when the stacking box slides out.

[0015] 3. In the present invention, when the medicine bottles are conveyed by the conveyor belt, nylon plates are fixed at the top of the two channel steels near the two side edges, so that the medicine bottles can be guided. At the same time, one end of each of the two channel steels extends correspondingly to both sides of the workbench, so that they can be supplied into the stacking box respectively, realizing two-way simultaneous operation. When the medicine bottles are conveyed, counting is carried out by a timer. At the same time, with the mutual cooperation of the stop plate and the dial plate, the number of medicine bottles in each row is ensured to be the same. Brief Description of the Drawings

However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Example 1, as Figures 1-5 shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for a medicine bottle palletizing and loading equipment: including a workbench 1, a limiting mechanism 3, a palletizing device 5 and a conveying device 6. There is a palletizing box 2 on the workbench 1, and several conveying rollers 4 for conveying the palletizing box 2. The conveying device 6 includes a photoelectric sensor 8, a conveyor belt 62 and a stop plate 69. The palletizing device 5 includes a dial plate 54. The stop plate 69 and the photoelectric sensor 8 are on the same horizontal plane perpendicular to the conveyor belt 62. When the conveyor belt 62 drives the medicine bottles for conveying, the medicine bottles are horizontally arranged and palletized under the block of the dial plate 54 when they are conveyed to one end of the conveyor belt 62. When the horizontal arrangement length of the medicine bottles extends to the stop plate 69, the photoelectric sensor 8 is triggered to drive the stop plate 69 to extend forward and retract to cut off the medicine bottles conveyed on one side of the conveyor belt 62. At the same time, the palletizing device 5 works to drive the dial plate 54 to move, so that the horizontally palletized medicines can be pushed into the interior of the palletizing box 2. When the medicine bottles in the palletizing box 2 are fully palletized, they are conveyed out through the conveying rollers 4.

[0025] The effect achieved by the entire Example 1 is that when the conveyor belt 62 drives the medicine bottles for conveying, the medicine bottles are horizontally arranged and palletized under the block of the dial plate 54 when they are conveyed to one end of the conveyor belt 62. When the horizontal arrangement length of the medicine bottles extends to the stop plate 69, the photoelectric sensor 8 is triggered to drive the stop plate 69 to extend forward and retract to cut off the medicine bottles conveyed on one side of the conveyor belt 62. At the same time, the palletizing device 5 works to drive the dial plate 54 to move, so that the horizontally palletized medicines can be pushed into the interior of the palletizing box 2. When the medicine bottles in the palletizing box 2 are fully palletized, they are conveyed out through the conveying rollers 4. The whole process adopts an assembly line production mode, thus avoiding the cooperation of multiple manipulators and the need to separately set up a vision detection device that moves with the manipulator to detect the arranged medicine bottles, reducing the production cost.

[0026] Example 2, as Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, the limiting mechanism 3 includes two fixing plates 31, which are respectively installed on the workbench 1. A plurality of conveying rollers 4 are respectively located on both sides of the workbench 1, and the two fixing plates 31 are correspondingly located on one side of the conveying rollers 4. Two side plates 32 are fixed to the tops of the two fixing plates 31. A rotating shaft 36 is rotatably connected between the side plates 32 on each fixing plate 31. Stopping blocks 33 are fixed to the outer surfaces of the two rotating shafts 36 near the two side edges. Swing rods 35 are fixed to the middle parts of the outer surfaces of the two rotating shafts 36. One ends of the two swing rods 35 are rotatably connected to air cylinders 34, and the middle parts of the outer surfaces of the two air cylinders 34 are rotatably connected to the bottoms of the fixing plates 31. The stacking device 5 includes two mounting seats 55. Slide tables 51 are fixed to the tops of the two mounting seats 55. Lead screws 52 are arranged inside the two slide tables 51. Sliding plates 53 are arranged on the tops of the two mounting seats 55. The two sliding plates 53 are both mounted on the lead screws 52. Pushing plates 54 are correspondingly fixed to one sides of the two sliding plates 53. The bottoms of the two pushing plates 54 correspondingly extend into the stacking box 2. Four guiding plates 7 are fixed to the top of the workbench 1. The four guiding plates 7 are divided into two groups. The two guiding plates 7 close to one side of the workbench 1 are in one group. Each group of two guiding plates 7 correspondingly fits with the inner walls of both sides of the stacking box 2.

[0027] The overall effect achieved by the entire Embodiment 2 is that when conveying the stacking box 2, the conveying rollers 4 facilitate the movement of the stacking box 2. At the same time, during the movement, the stopping blocks 33 on the limiting mechanism 3 block the stacking box 2, so as to prevent sliding. And when the air cylinders 34 do not extend or retract, the two stopping blocks 33 are always in the blocking state. When moving the horizontally arranged medicines from the conveyor belt 62 into the stacking box 2 through the pushing plates 54, under the guiding of the two guiding plates 7, the pushing plates 54 will not rub against both sides during the final sliding, and at the same time, the stacking box 2 can be guided when the stacking box 2 slides out.

[0028] Embodiment 3, as Figures 1-5 shown, the conveying device 6 includes a mounting frame 68. Two channel steels 61 are fixed to the top of the mounting frame 68. Pulley wheels 64 are rotatably connected to both ends of the two channel steels 61. The conveyor belt 62 is respectively arranged on the two pulley wheels 64 in each channel steel 61. Motors 63 are fixed to one sides of the two channel steels 61. The two motors 63 are correspondingly connected to the pulley wheels 64. Brackets 65 are fixed to the two channel steels 61. Counters 66 are fixed to the bottoms of the two brackets 65. Nylon plates 67 are fixed to the tops of the two channel steels 61 near the two side edges.

[0029] The effect achieved by the entire Embodiment 3 is that when the medicine bottles are conveyed by the conveyor belt 62, since nylon plates 67 are fixed at the top of the two channel steels 61 near the two side edges, the medicine bottles can be guided. At the same time, one end of each of the two channel steels 61 correspondingly extends to both sides of the workbench 1 so that they can be respectively supplied into the stacking box 2, realizing simultaneous operation of two paths. When the medicine bottles are conveyed, they will be counted by the counter 66. At the same time, with the mutual cooperation of the cut-off plate 69 and the dial plate 54, the number of medicine bottles in each row is ensured to be the same.
