Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of transmission devices, and more particularly to a medicine bottle transmission system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there is no unified standard bottle type for BFS medicine bottles. As a result, when BFS pressure decay leak detectors are used for online micro-leakage detection of BFS medicine bottles, they need to deal with the switching of various types and specifications of BFS medicine bottles and the equal spacing of the bottles. Therefore, in order to avoid the need to change the type of different medicines and improve the versatility of the machine, there is an urgent need to develop a machine that can be compatible with various types and specifications of BFS medicine bottles, quickly change the type, and equal spacing of the bottles. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a medicine bottle transport system that addresses the technical problem of inconsistent bottle feeding in existing BFS systems, which prevents uniform and equidistant feeding.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a medicine bottle transport system, the system comprising a feeding conveyor belt, a first differential conveyor belt, a second differential conveyor belt, a feeding mesh belt for sequentially transporting medicine bottles, and a control component connected to the first differential conveyor belt, the second differential conveyor belt, and the feeding mesh belt respectively;

[0005] The first differential conveyor belt is used to receive the medicine bottles transported by the feed mesh belt and to separate adjacent medicine bottles.

[0006] The second differential conveyor belt is also equipped with a first sensor, which is used to detect the position information of the medicine bottle and feed the position information back to the control component;

[0007] The feeding conveyor belt includes multiple equally spaced feeding blocks and a detection unit, wherein the detection unit is used to detect the position information of each feeding block;

[0008] The control component is used to receive the bottle position information transmitted by the first sensor and the position information of each push block transmitted by the detection unit, and output the running speed of the second differential conveyor belt to change the speed of the bottle on the second differential conveyor belt so that the bottle enters the push position on the push device.

[0009] Optionally, a clamping mesh belt is also provided above the second differential conveyor belt.

[0010] Optionally, a transition mesh belt is also provided between the second differential conveyor belt and the material feeding mesh belt.

[0011] Optionally, a second sensor is also provided at the discharge end of the transition mesh belt, and the second sensor is connected to the PLC component.

[0012] Optionally, the second differential conveyor belt is also connected to a servo motor, which is connected to the control component.

[0013] Optionally, the operating speed of the first differential conveyor belt is greater than the operating speed of the feed mesh belt.

[0014] Optionally, a partition mesh belt is also provided downstream of the feeding mesh belt, and partition mesh belt fences are also provided on both sides of the partition mesh belt.

[0015] Optionally, feed mesh belt railings are also provided on both sides of the feed mesh belt.

[0016] Optionally, the detection unit is used to transmit the position information of the two blocks closest to the feed end of the partition belt to the control component.

[0017] Optionally, the control component is a PLC system.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] This invention proposes a medicine bottle conveying system. A PLC system receives bottle position information from a first sensor and determines the position information of each feeding block. This control then regulates the conveying speed of the bottles on a second differential conveyor belt, ultimately ensuring the bottles reach the feeding positions on the feeding device, ready for the corresponding feeding blocks to actuate. This achieves equidistant bottle separation, preventing inconsistencies in bottle feeding time that could affect equipment stability. Furthermore, a second sensor further determines whether a bottle has reached its target position, facilitating the transfer of the next bottle and improving the efficiency of equidistant bottle distribution. The system's logically structured configuration effectively enhances the efficiency of equidistant bottle separation and is applicable to equidistant feeding of different bottle types, demonstrating strong versatility.

[0024] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0025] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or system that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or system. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or system that includes that element.

[0026] See Figure 1 This invention provides a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a medicine bottle transport system. The system includes a feeding conveyor belt 1, a first differential conveyor belt 2, a second differential conveyor belt 3, a feeding mesh belt 6, and control components connected to the first differential conveyor belt 2, the second differential conveyor belt 3, and the feeding mesh belt 6, respectively. The first differential conveyor belt 2 receives medicine bottles transported by the feeding mesh belt 1 and separates adjacent medicine bottles. The second differential conveyor belt 3 is also equipped with a first sensor 8, which detects the position information of the medicine bottles and feeds the position information back to the control components. The feeding mesh belt 6 includes multiple equally spaced feeding blocks 61 and a detection unit, which detects the position information of each feeding block 61. The control components receive the position information of the medicine bottles transmitted by the first sensor 8 and the position information of each feeding block 61 transmitted by the detection unit, and output the running speed of the second differential conveyor belt 3 to change the speed of the medicine bottles on the second differential conveyor belt 3 so that the medicine bottles enter the feeding position on the feeding device.

[0027] Specifically, the control component is a PLC system, which receives the bottle position information transmitted by the first sensor 8 and determines the position information of each push block 61. Then, it controls the transport speed of the bottles on the second differential conveyor belt 3, and finally makes the bottles reach the push position on the push device, so that the corresponding push block 61 can be pushed, thereby realizing the equal-distance separation of the bottles.

[0028] Furthermore, a clamping mesh belt 4 is also provided above the second differential conveyor belt 3.

[0029] Furthermore, a transition mesh belt 5 is provided between the second differential conveyor belt 3 and the feeding mesh belt 6. Specifically, a second sensor 9 is also provided at the discharge end of the transition mesh belt 5, and the second sensor 9 is connected to the PLC component. The second sensor 9 is used to further determine the position of the medicine bottle, and when the medicine bottle reaches the position detected by the second sensor 9, it means that the bottle spacing control is completed, and the second differential conveyor belt 3 will adjust the speed of the next medicine bottle in real time to ensure continuous conveying of the medicine bottles; optionally, the speed of the transition mesh belt 5 can also be changed, thereby adjusting the conveying of the medicine bottles.

[0030] Furthermore, the second differential conveyor belt 3 is also connected to a servo motor, which is connected to the control component. Specifically, the second differential conveyor belt 3 is connected to the servo motor, thereby controlling the speed change of the second differential conveyor belt 3 through the servo motor; optionally, the transition mesh belt is also connected to a corresponding servo motor, thereby adjusting the speed of the transition mesh belt, and thus controlling the interval feeding through the servo motor, greatly improving the feeding flexibility.

[0031] Furthermore, the operating speed of the first differential conveyor belt 2 is greater than the operating speed of the feed mesh belt 1. Specifically, the function of the first differential conveyor belt 2 is to separate the medicine bottles by a certain distance, thereby making its operating speed greater than that of the feed mesh belt.

[0032] Furthermore, a partition mesh belt 7 is also provided downstream of the feeding mesh belt 6, and partition mesh belt rails are provided on both sides of the partition mesh belt 7. Specifically, the partition mesh belt rails can be matched with different medicine bottle models, and can be adjusted and replaced accordingly based on the medicine bottle model.

[0033] Furthermore, feed mesh belt guards are provided on both sides of the feed mesh belt 1. Specifically, the feed mesh belt guards can be matched with different medicine bottle models, and can be adjusted and replaced accordingly based on the medicine bottle model.

[0034] Furthermore, the detection unit transmits the position information of the two levers 61 closest to the feed end of the partition belt 7 to the control component. The function of the detection unit is to select the most appropriate lever 61 to control the feeding of the medicine bottle.

[0035] Furthermore, the PLC system is also connected to a touch screen and a medicine bottle model storage module. The parameters of the target medicine bottle can be stored in the storage module through the touch screen, and when the medicine bottle model is changed, the parameters can be directly input and adjusted through the touch screen for easy storage and calculation.

[0036] Furthermore, to better illustrate the operation of the medicine bottle transport system of the present invention, the following description uses specific control logic:

[0037] 1. Speed ​​control of the second differential conveyor belt: When the medicine bottle reaches the position of the first sensor 8 of the second differential conveyor belt 3, the required speed of the second differential conveyor belt can be automatically calculated based on the time it takes for the push block 61 to move to the bottle inlet and the distance from the second differential conveyor belt 3 to the bottle inlet. This allows for control of the running speed of the second differential conveyor belt 3. When the medicine bottle reaches the position of the second sensor 9, the detection unit detects the position of the push block to ensure that the push block does not interfere with the medicine bottle.

[0038] 2. Selection of the feeding block: When the first sensor 8 detects the medicine bottle, the feeding block 61 of the feeding mesh belt 6 is positioned relatively far forward. Even if the second differential speed conveyor belt 3 cannot achieve feeding by servo speed change, the system automatically controls the servo motor speed change to match the medicine bottle with the next feeding block 61.

[0039] 3. Bottle spacing control: When the system control requires the insertion of one or more bottles at intervals, the second differential speed conveyor belt 3 servo motor slows down or even stops to match the feeding block 61 of the feeding mesh belt to achieve bottle insertion control.

[0040] 4. When changing the model of the medicine bottle, the parameters can be quickly changed through the touch screen. The change is quick and convenient. The feed conveyor belt side rails can be adjusted manually and the partition conveyor belt rails can be replaced.

[0041] The sequence numbers of the above embodiments of the present invention are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of the present invention, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
