Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of separation equipment, in particular to a separation device for injection bottle stoppers. Background Art

[0002] In the existing production process for injectable vials, the stoppers of the vials are transported to a designated station in a uniform position using a vibrating feeding system before being installed into the vial mouths. Due to factors such as sterilization, long-term storage, and stacking, the stoppers of aseptically packaged vials can sometimes stick together, causing a decrease in the feeding speed of the equipment's vibrating drum and even blockage. Consequently, the vials cannot be promptly and accurately stoppered after being filled with the drug solution, resulting in defective products, costing pharmaceutical companies money and even compromising drug safety.

[0010] Preferably, the bottle stopper vibration pot is in a "bowl" shape, and a stopper discharge port corresponding to the stopper recovery port is provided on the inner side.

[0011] (3) Beneficial effects

[0012] The present invention provides a separation device for injection bottle stoppers. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The separation plate of the vial stopper is swung by electromagnetic vibration;

[0014] 2. Through the gap between the two separating plates of the vial stoppers, the separating plates swing in opposite directions driven by an electromagnetic vibrator, forming a clamping force that causes the stoppers to deform. The amount of deformation can be controlled by adjusting the amplitude of the vibrator. When the deformation of the vial stoppers exceeds the bonding tension between the sticky stoppers, the vial stoppers are separated into individual pieces.

[0015] 3. The installation position is below the sorting track of the vibrating feeding pot. The sticky stoppers fall into the separation plate. After the separation plate breaks up the vial stoppers, the vial stoppers fall into the feeding vibrating pot and are sorted by the vibrating pot and output to the stoppering station.

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a separation device for injection bottle stoppers, including a bottle stopper separation device and a bottle stopper vibration pot, the bottle stopper separation device including a mounting column 1, a bottom plate 2, a shock absorber 3, an armature 4, a force transmission column 5, a vibration conduction plate 6, a separation plate mounting seat 7, a separation plate fixing handle 8, a separation plate 9, an electromagnet 10 and a leaf spring 11, and the bottle stopper separation device is installed on one side of the bottle stopper vibration pot, the bottle stopper vibration pot is in a "bowl" shape, the mounting column is vertically installed, and a bottom plate is provided on the top, a group of leaf springs are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the bottom plate, and a force transmission column is installed on the top of the leaf spring.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of this solution, two groups of shock absorbers 3 are installed between the leaf spring 11 and the base plate 1 , and an electromagnet 10 is installed on the top of the leaf spring 11 .

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of this solution, the top of the force transmission column 5 is connected to the separation plate mounting seat 7 through a vibration conduction plate 6, and the separation plate mounting seat 7 is fixedly installed with a separation plate 9 through a separation plate fixing handle 8.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this solution, the separation plate 9 is connected to the side of the bottle stopper vibration pot, and a stopper recovery port is provided at the connection.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this solution, the bottle stopper vibration pot is in a "bowl" shape, and a stopper discharge port corresponding to the stopper recovery port is provided on the inner side.

[0026] Working principle: When in use, the mounting column 1 and the vibrator base plate 2 provide a working plane for the separation mechanism, and their main function is to fix the separation mechanism in a suitable position. When the electromagnet 10 is energized, an AC electromagnetic force is generated, which attracts the armature 4. The electromagnetic force is converted into vibration mechanical energy via the leaf spring 11, generating high-frequency vibrations. The high-frequency vibration force is transmitted upward via the force transmission column. After the vibration force is further amplified by the vibration conduction plate 6, the vibration force is transmitted to the separation plate mounting seat 7. The separation plate 9 is fixed to the separation plate mounting seat by the separation plate fixing handle 8. The magnetic force of the electromagnetic coil is converted by the mechanics of the above-mentioned mechanism to drive the two separation plates 9 to swing in opposite directions. The gap between the two separation plates realizes the high-frequency opening and closing action. When the stuck vial stoppers are sorted by the vibration pot track and transported to the separation device, the separation device performs high-frequency striking on the stuck vial stoppers passing through the separation plate. When the impact force generated exceeds the viscosity of the stuck vial stoppers, the stuck vial stoppers are broken up into individual pieces. This is because the separation piece of the separation device is extended into the interior of the vibration pot for the vial stoppers. After being broken up, the stuck vial stoppers fall into the recovery port in the vibration pot and enter the vibration pot for sorting and transportation again. This realizes the online conversion of defective products (sticky vial stoppers) into good products (single vial stoppers), thereby improving the stability of the vibration pot in transporting vial stoppers, and further improving the qualified rate of filling and stoppering. For reference, the breaking process is as follows. Figure 3 .

[0027] The mounting column 1, base plate 2, shock absorber 3, armature 4, force transmission column 5, vibration conduction plate 6, separation plate mounting seat 7, separation plate fixing handle 8, separation plate 9, electromagnet 10, and leaf spring 11 of the present invention are all universal standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
