[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass bottle production, and more specifically to a visual inspection and packaging machine for pharmaceutical glass bottles. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial component of pharmaceutical production, the quality of pharmaceutical packaging is paramount. However, current domestic testing methods for pharmaceutical glass bottles are only applicable to bottles annealed in traditional mesh belt annealing furnaces. Traditional annealing furnaces are unsuitable for annealing neutral borosilicate glass bottles, especially vaccine vials, which require a mesh plate annealing furnace where the bottles are neatly arranged.
[0003] Currently, the inspection and packaging method for pharmaceutical glass bottles involves arranging and sorting them first, then manually inspecting and counting the quantity before packaging. This method cannot be automated, and the glass bottles are prone to collisions during the inspection and packaging process. Manual inspection has a high rate of missed and false detections, slow inspection speed, and is prone to secondary contamination of the glass bottles.
[0004] Using a mesh annealing furnace to anneal neutral borosilicate glass bottles offers high production efficiency. However, current inspection and packaging methods would significantly reduce production efficiency.

[0037] Embodiment one
[0038] The present embodiment describes a visual inspection packaging machine for pharmaceutical glass bottles, which is suitable for detecting and packaging pharmaceutical glass bottles annealed by a mesh plate annealing furnace. It can automatically detect the size and appearance defects of various pharmaceutical glass bottles, greatly saving manpower and time, and has high detection precision.
[0039] As shown in Figure 1 The packaging machine includes a whole row carrying mechanism 1, a detection mechanism 2, a good product carrying mechanism 3 and a boxing mechanism 4. The glass bottles annealed by the mesh plate annealing furnace are carried by the whole row carrying mechanism 1 to the detection mechanism 2 for detection, and the qualified glass bottles are carried by the good product carrying mechanism 3 to the boxing mechanism 4 for automatic boxing.
[0040] Among them, the input end of the detection mechanism 2 is installed on the main frame of the packaging machine, and is suspended above the outlet end of the annealing furnace, as shown in Figure 2The shown includes the whole row of suction cup part 1.1, the whole row of rotating part 1.2, lifting part 1.3 and transverse conveying part 1.4, the whole row of suction cup part 1.1, the whole row of rotating part 1.2, lifting part 1.3 and transverse conveying part 1.4 are connected with the control unit of the packaging machine respectively. The whole row of suction cup part 1.1 is installed at the end of the whole row of rotating part 1.2, the whole row of suction cup part 1.1 sucks the predetermined number of glass bottles through multiple suction cups to realize collision-free conveying, and the whole row of suction cup part 1.1 can realize 180° rotation under the driving of the whole row of rotating part 1.2. The whole row of rotating part 1.2 is installed on the lifting part 1.3 and can move up and down under the driving of the lifting part 1.3, the lifting part 1.3 is installed on the transverse conveying part 1.4 and can move transversely on the horizontal surface under the driving of the transverse conveying part 1.4. The guide rail of the transverse conveying part 1.4 is transversely installed on the main frame of the packaging machine and is located above the input end of the detection mechanism 2, that is, the length direction of the guide rail is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the product on the detection mechanism 2.
[0041] The detection mechanism 2 is installed in the main frame of the packaging machine and is used for appearance detection of the glass bottles, such as appearance size, appearance defects, such as Figure 3 The shown includes conveying chain group 2.1, camera 2.2, self-rotating part 2.3, good product arrangement part 2.4, kick-out part 2.5 and jacking part 2.6. The camera 2.2, the jacking part 2.6, the kick-out part 2.5 and the good product arrangement part 2.4 are sequentially arranged on the side of the conveying chain group 2.1 along the conveying direction, the self-rotating part 2.3 is arranged above the jacking part 2.6, and the conveying chain group 2.1, the camera 2.2, the self-rotating part 2.3, the good product arrangement part 2.4, the kick-out part 2.5 and the jacking part 2.6 act respectively under the control of the control unit.
[0042] The conveying chain group 2.1 in the embodiment is used to realize the conveying of the glass bottles. The conveying chain group 2.1 is composed of two chains arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval, and this kind of combined chain with respect to the whole chain is beneficial to simplify the structure of the good product arrangement part 2.4, and also reduces the weight of the equipment, and the two chains rotate synchronously to ensure the stable conveying of the glass bottles. The chain adopts V-shaped chain, which can avoid the displacement of the glass bottles during movement, and problems such as inverted bottles and bottle body collision.
[0043] The embodiment arranges multiple cameras 2.2 side by side, which are used for appearance detection of different parts of the glass bottles. The camera 2.2 transmits the photographed image information to the control unit of the packaging machine, and the control unit compares the received image information with the pre-stored standard image information. If there is an image difference exceeding the threshold value, it is considered that the glass bottle is unqualified product, otherwise it is qualified product. The unqualified product is kicked out of the conveying chain group 2.1 by the kick-out part 2.5, and the qualified product is conveyed to the good product arrangement part 2.4 by the conveying chain group 2.1.
[0044] The rotating part 2.3 is installed on the main frame, which has a rotating shaft, the bottom end of the rotating shaft is installed with a friction wheel, the glass bottle is lifted by the lifting part 2.6 to contact the friction wheel above, the rotation of the friction wheel drives the glass bottle to rotate 360°, so that the camera 2.2 detects each part of the glass bottle.
[0045] The good product arrangement part 2.4 is used to arrange the qualified glass bottles in a row according to the predetermined number, which is convenient for the good product carrying mechanism 3 to carry. As shown in Figure 4 The good product arrangement part 2.4 includes a chain plate 2.4.1, an eccentric lifting device 2.4.2 and a rotating motor 2.4.3. The chain plate 2.4.1 is installed on the upper end of the eccentric lifting device 2.4.2 and is placed between the two chains of the conveying chain group 2.1. The eccentric lifting device 2.4.2 drives the chain plate 2.4.1 to rise and fall under the drive of the rotating motor 2.4.3. The rotating motor 2.4.3 is connected with the control unit of the packaging machine. According to the information that the arrangement position between the first end of the whole chain plate 2.4.1 (the end close to the waste kicking part 2.5) and the waste kicking part 2.5 is preset, the control unit controls the height of the chain plate 2.4.1 to be lower than the conveying chain group 2.1 through the rotating motor 2.4.3, so that the glass bottle can continue to move forward under the drive of the conveying chain group 2.1. According to the information that the arrangement position is empty (such as the empty position generated after the waste kicking part 2.5 removes the unqualified product), the control unit drives the eccentric lifting device 2.4.2 to lift the chain plate 2.4.1 upward through the rotating motor 2.4.3. The chain plate 2.4.1 lifts the qualified glass bottle on the conveying chain group 2.1 in the process area of the good product arrangement part 2.4 until the qualified glass bottle appears on the arrangement position. The rotating motor 2.4.3 drives the chain plate 2.4.1 to descend to the position with a height lower than the conveying chain group 2.1 through the eccentric lifting device 2.4.2. The good product arrangement part 2.4 of the embodiment has a simple structure and is convenient to operate. By controlling the lifting of the chain plate 2.4.1, the chain plate 2.4.1 does not generate an empty position due to the action of the waste kicking part 2.5, so that the purpose of collecting the bottles is achieved. When the glass bottles on the chain plate 2.4.1 reach the predetermined number, the control unit drives the good product carrying mechanism 3 to carry the glass bottles on the chain plate 2.4.1 at one time or in multiple times to the boxing mechanism 4. In the embodiment, the upper surface of the chain plate 2.4.1 is uniformly distributed with a plurality of V-shaped grooves. The glass bottle placed in the V-shaped groove can avoid rolling. The rotating motor 2.4.3 of the embodiment can adopt a new type of cam and a stepping motor, which is convenient to accelerate the stable lifting of the chain plate 2.4.1.
[0046] The lifting part 2.6 is used to lift the glass bottle to be detected. As shown in Figure 5As shown, the lifting part 2.6 includes a bottle body lifting block 2.6.1, a mouth inner diameter detection part lifting block 2.6.2 and a lifting motor 2.6.3. The bottle body lifting block 2.6.1 is installed on the upper end of the mouth inner diameter detection part lifting block 2.6.2, and the two form a lifting block assembly. Four sets of lifting block assemblies are symmetrically installed on a lifting block mounting table, and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying chain set 2.1, for lifting two ends of the glass bottle respectively. The two lifting block assemblies on one side are standard detection stations for the glass bottle, and the two lifting block assemblies on the other side are mouth inner diameter detection stations. The center of the bottom surface of the lifting block mounting table is connected with the rotating shaft of the lifting motor 2.6.3, and the lifting block assembly is driven by the lifting motor 2.6.3 to move up and down. The lifting motor 2.6.3 is connected with the control unit. When the glass bottle reaches the detection position, the sensor is triggered, and the control unit starts the lifting motor 2.6.3 according to the trigger signal of the sensor, and records the detection position number of the glass bottle (the detection position number is the identification number of the glass bottle on the packaging machine). The glass bottle is lifted by the lifting block assembly, so that the self-rotation part 2.3 can quickly suck the glass bottle, make detection preparation, reduce detection time and improve detection efficiency. In this embodiment, the mouth inner diameter detection is carried out by visual non-contact detection, that is, the camera 2.2 is used to take a visual comparison between the glass bottle mouth and the standard mouth inner diameter on the mouth inner diameter detection part lifting block 2.6.2. This not only ensures the detection speed, but also has high accuracy and avoids damage caused by contact detection. In addition, the lifting block mounting table on which the lifting block assembly is installed can be a telescopic platform, which is used to adjust the distance between the lifting block assemblies according to the size of the glass bottle. At the same time, the distance between the two chains of the conveying chain set 2.1 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting hand wheel (see Figure 3 ) installed on the side of the conveying chain set 2.1, so that the detection mechanism 2 can adapt to the production change requirements of the packaging machine.
[0047] The good product carrying mechanism 3 is installed on the main frame of the packaging machine, located above the output end of the detection mechanism 2 and the side of the good product arranging part 2.4, for carrying the qualified glass bottles arranged by the good product arranging part 2.4 to the boxing mechanism 4. As shown in Figure 6As shown, the good product carrying mechanism 3 includes a transverse carrying device 3.1, a longitudinal carrying device 3.2, a lifting device 3.3 and an automatic telescopic device 3.4, which respectively act under the control of the control unit. The two transverse guide rails of the transverse carrying device 3.1 are transversely installed on the main frame above the conveying chain group 2.1 in the vertical direction of the glass bottles. The longitudinal guide rails of the longitudinal carrying device 3.2 are respectively installed on the two transverse guide rails and can move transversely along the transverse guide rails under the drive of the transverse carrying device 3.1. The lifting device 3.3 is installed on the longitudinal guide rails and can move longitudinally along the longitudinal guide rails under the drive of the longitudinal carrying device 3.2. The automatic telescopic device 3.4 is installed on the vertical guide rails of the lifting device 3.3 and can vertically ascend and descend along the vertical guide rails of the lifting device 3.3 under the action of the lifting device 3.3. The automatic telescopic device 3.4 is provided with a servo motor, a variable pitch screw cam assembly and suction cups, etc. The variable pitch screw cam assembly is installed at the bottom end with a plurality of suction cups, the suction cups are used to suck the glass bottles, and the servo motor adjusts the distance between the suction cups through the variable pitch screw cam assembly to adjust the distance between the glass bottles. In addition, the automatic telescopic device 3.4 can also be installed on the lifting device 3.3 through a rotating assembly, the rotating assembly includes a cylinder and a connecting rod assembly, the cylinder is installed on the vertical guide rails and connected with the control unit, the cylinder drives the automatic telescopic device 3.4 to rotate by a predetermined angle through the connecting rod assembly, which is used to adjust the posture of the telescoped glass bottles to make them meet the requirements of the box loading (such as the orientation of the glass bottle mouth, the placement angle of the glass bottle, etc.). When the good product carrying mechanism 3 carries the qualified glass bottles to the box loading mechanism 4, the automatic telescopic device 3.4 telescopes according to the outer diameter of the glass bottles to the position where the glass bottles are close to each other, which is convenient for loading in the box loading mechanism 4.
[0048] As shown, the box loading mechanism 4 is arranged outside the main frame of the packaging machine and located at the side of the output end of the detection mechanism 2, which includes a box storing device 4.1, a station rotating device 4.2 and a ring conveying device 4.3. Figure 7 As shown, the box loading mechanism 4 is arranged outside the main frame of the packaging machine and located at the side of the output end of the detection mechanism 2, which includes a box storing device 4.1, a station rotating device 4.2 and a ring conveying device 4.3.
[0049] The packaging machine is suitable for detecting bottle bodies, and the specifications and sizes of various components can be adjusted according to the sizes of the bottle bodies. The operation process of the packaging machine is described in detail below by taking transparent glass bottles with a height of not more than 80 mm, an outer diameter of not more than 32 mm, and a length-to-height ratio of greater than 1.5, which are annealed by a mesh plate type annealing furnace as an example. The number of glass bottles in a row and the bottle spacing during boxing can be set according to the working conditions. For example, if 8 glass bottles are set as a row and the bottle spacing is 38.1 mm, 4 box bodies are arranged on the boxing mechanism 4. The specific arrangement is as follows:
[0050] 1. The annealed glass bottles are sucked by the whole row of suction discs 1.1, lifted to a certain height (i.e. higher than the height of the conveying chain group 2.1) by the lifting part 1.3, rotated by 180° by the whole row of rotating parts 1.2, and then moved horizontally by the lifting part 1.3 driven by the horizontal conveying part 1.4, so as to convey the whole row of glass bottles to the conveying chain group 2.1.
[0051] 2. The conveying chain group 2.1 conveys the glass bottles to the lifting position, the lifting part 2.6 lifts the glass bottles, and the glass bottles are rotated by 360° by the rotation part 2.3. During the rotation process, the camera 2.2 photographs each part of the glass bottle. The camera 2.2 transmits the image information to the control unit. After the detection is completed, the lifting part 2.6 lowers the glass bottles and places them on the conveying chain group 2.1 for further conveying. The control unit analyzes the image information to determine whether the glass bottle is qualified. If it is unqualified, the control unit opens the kick-out part 2.4 to remove the unqualified product.
[0052] 3. The qualified glass bottles are conveyed by the conveying chain group 2.1 to the good product arrangement part 2.4 for arrangement. The arranged glass bottles are conveyed to the boxing mechanism 4 by the good product conveying mechanism 3 according to the packaging requirements, and the control unit automatically calculates the number of glass bottles sucked by the good product conveying mechanism 3 each time according to the preset number of rows and conveying times (for example, 8 glass bottles per row can be conveyed twice, and the number of glass bottles sucked by the good product conveying mechanism 3 each time is 4). Before being loaded into the box storage device 4.1, the automatic telescopic device 3.4 is started to adjust the bottle spacing to the preset value of 38.1 mm according to the outer diameter of the glass bottle, so that the glass bottles are in close contact but not squeezed. The contracted glass bottles are rotated by a certain angle according to the preset value, so that the arrangement of the glass bottles meets the boxing requirements and is loaded into the box body of the box storage device 4.1.
[0053] 4. According to the number of columns required by the packaging, when the box body of the box storage device 4.1 is full, the work station rotating mechanism 4.2 drives the ring conveying device 4.3 to convey the full box storage device 4.1 from the boxing position to the box collecting position, and at the same time, the empty box storage device 4.1 is conveyed to the boxing position. The operator collects the full glass bottle box and places the empty box to complete the box collecting process.
