Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass container manufacturing, and in particular to a novel comprehensive processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding. Background Technology
[0002] Pharmaceutical glass offers numerous advantages over other glass materials. Glass containers made from this material possess excellent chemical and thermal stability, a certain level of mechanical strength, and a smooth, transparent surface that is easy to clean and disinfect, along with superior sealing properties. Due to its favorable physicochemical characteristics, it is an ideal packaging container for various pharmaceuticals. After processing, pharmaceutical glass containers are transferred from the bottle-making machine to a post-processing equipment using CNC robotic arms or robots. Once transferred, the containers are arranged neatly and conveyed, and after completing one process step, they are moved to the next processing step for further processing. Existing post-processing steps for pharmaceutical glass containers include, for example: cooling and blowing station and supporting equipment for cooling the pharmaceutical glass containers; visual inspection station and supporting equipment for inspecting the mouth, bottom dimensions and appearance of the pharmaceutical glass containers; mechanical measurement station and supporting equipment for measuring the total length and bottom concavity of the pharmaceutical glass containers; cleaning and washing station and supporting equipment for cleaning and washing the inner surface of the pharmaceutical glass containers; vulcanization pretreatment station and equipment for vulcanization pretreatment of the inner surface of the pharmaceutical glass containers or printing station and equipment for printing on the outer surface of the pharmaceutical glass containers.
[0003] Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive processing equipment on the market that can accommodate the above-mentioned multiple processing steps for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding.
[0004] For example, the "Method for Processing a Container for Storing Substances for Medical, Pharmaceutical, or Cosmetic Applications" disclosed in Chinese patent literature, publication number CN104272049B, describes a cylindrical container used to store or contain substances for medical, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic applications. The container, open at at least one end, is automatically guided by a conveying device through or through processing stations for processing or treatment. These processing stations are held together in a regular two-dimensional array by a support. The support has multiple openings or sockets that define the regular array. While the container is supported by the support, processing or treatment of the container is performed on or in at least one of the processing stations. This opens up new possibilities for processing or treating containers, for example, when pressing metal caps or during freeze-drying. However, in this patented method, the container is placed vertically, making it only suitable for processing such as capping and other processing steps, and not for length measurement, bottom concavity measurement, or outer surface printing. Therefore, its comprehensiveness and applicability are relatively weak. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the problems of existing methods for processing pharmaceutical glass containers, which are not comprehensive enough to simultaneously perform multiple different treatments on pharmaceutical glass containers, resulting in different processing processes needing to be completed on different equipment, increasing transportation and time costs. The invention provides a new type of comprehensive processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding, which has better comprehensiveness and can accommodate more processing steps.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention discloses a novel integrated processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding, comprising a conveying platform for transporting pharmaceutical glass containers and several processing modules for post-molding processing of the pharmaceutical glass containers on the conveying platform. The conveying platform includes a drive chain and a support plate. Several positioning partition plates are installed on the drive chain at equal intervals. The pharmaceutical glass containers are placed between two adjacent positioning partition plates. The several processing modules are detachably mounted on the support plate.
[0007] The conveying platform is mainly used to transport and arrange the produced pharmaceutical glass containers in a regular manner, which is beneficial for post-processing at each station on the platform. The positioning and separating trays allow the pharmaceutical glass containers to be transferred to the transmission chain and arranged at a specified distance, thus preventing collisions and breakage between adjacent pharmaceutical glass containers and ensuring the quality of transport. The detachable installation of the processing modules makes it more flexible to add or remove the functional modules required for post-forming processing. Users can configure different post-forming processing functional modules at different stations of the pharmaceutical glass container forming integrated processing equipment according to the actual needs of different pharmaceutical glass containers. This design greatly improves the flexibility and versatility of the equipment.
[0008] Preferably, the processing module includes a CNC module robotic arm or robot device, with a rotary variable-diameter robotic arm at its front end. This rotary variable-diameter robotic arm is equipped with a bottle-clamping cylinder or electric cylinder. The rotary variable-diameter robotic arm is suitable for conveyor platforms with positioning and separating trays of varying spacing. The bottle-clamping cylinder or electric cylinder can clamp and transfer pharmaceutical glass containers transferred from the bottle-making machine. The rotary variable-diameter robotic arm can clamp two pharmaceutical glass containers simultaneously. If an electric cylinder is used, the clamping force can be controlled to avoid affecting the pharmaceutical glass.
[0009] Preferably, the processing module further includes a cooling fan device, which comprises a cooling fan and a flow equalization plate located above the conveying platform. The cooling fan is a cross-flow fan, and the flow equalization plate has a honeycomb structure. This device primarily pre-cools the pharmaceutical glass containers, facilitating subsequent post-processing.
[0010] Preferably, the processing module further includes an automatic sampling device, which comprises a sampling cylinder, a sampling box, and a sampling guide rail. The sampling cylinder and the sampling box are located on opposite sides of the conveying platform, and the sampling guide rail is located inside the sampling box. When sampling is required, the pharmaceutical glass container is positioned between the sampling cylinder and the sampling box. The sampling cylinder moves forward, delivering the sample pharmaceutical glass container into the sampling box via the sampling guide rail. When the user activates the automatic sampling function, the automatic sampling device will automatically sample according to the sampling location and quantity set by the user. The above device is mainly used for automatic product sampling.
[0011] Preferably, the processing module further includes a visual inspection device, which comprises an inspection turntable with several suction bottle assemblies evenly distributed around its circumference. A rotating device is positioned above the turntable to drive the rotation of the pharmaceutical glass container, and a lifting mechanism is positioned below the rotating device to drive its lifting and lowering. The inspection turntable is connected to a pneumatic slip ring. This device primarily inspects the dimensions and appearance of the opening and bottom of the pharmaceutical glass container. The pneumatic slip ring ensures that the vacuum suction tubes do not become entangled when the inspection turntable rotates, thus enabling the inspection turntable to rotate while the vacuum suction tubes remain stationary. This design improves upon the limitation of other similar devices that cannot achieve individual vacuum control at each inspection station.
[0012] Preferably, the processing module further includes an inner surface blowing device, which includes a blowing pipe that passes through a fixing hole in the middle of a blowing pipe fixing block. The blowing pipe fixing block is mounted on a blowing feed cylinder, and a cylinder connecting fixing plate is connected below the blowing feed cylinder. A blowing pipe height adjustment device is connected to the cylinder connecting fixing plate. The above device mainly performs blowing cleaning on the inner surface of pharmaceutical glass containers, improving the cleanliness of the inner surface of the pharmaceutical glass containers and reducing the adhesion of alkaline oxides generated during the bottle-making process. The blowing pipe height adjustment device can adjust the height of the blowing pipe to accommodate pharmaceutical glass containers of different sizes.
[0013] Preferably, the processing module further includes a mechanical inspection device, which includes a lifting motor connected to a lower lifting block. The lifting block has a lifting guide column, a lifting guide sleeve, and a lifting guide column fixing seat in the middle. A measuring and positioning base plate fixing plate is provided below the lifting block. The mechanical inspection device also includes a full height measuring device, which and the measuring and positioning base plate fixing plate are located on opposite sides of the pharmaceutical glass container. The above device is mainly used to inspect the full height and bottom concavity dimensions of the pharmaceutical glass container.
[0014] Preferably, the processing module also includes a waste removal device located behind the mechanical inspection device. The waste removal device includes a waste removal port and a waste removal cylinder. When the mechanical inspection device determines that the pharmaceutical glass container is unqualified, and the pharmaceutical glass container is between the waste removal port and the waste removal cylinder, the waste removal cylinder kicks the unqualified pharmaceutical glass container out of the waste removal port. The above device is mainly used to automatically remove unqualified products from mechanical inspection.
[0015] Preferably, the processing module further includes an inner surface cleaning and washing combination module, which includes a water injection device, a shaking device, a water absorption device, and a drying device. The water injection device mainly injects purified water into the pharmaceutical glass container; the shaking device mainly rotates and shakes the pharmaceutical glass container after water injection, causing impurities and soluble substances adhering to the inner surface of the pharmaceutical glass container to enter the purified water; the water absorption device mainly absorbs the wastewater from the shaken pharmaceutical glass container; and the drying device mainly pre-dries the inner surface of the pharmaceutical glass container after water absorption.
[0016] Preferably, the processing module further includes an inner surface vulcanization pretreatment device, which includes a liquid addition solenoid valve, a liquid addition pipe, and a liquid addition feed cylinder. When the pharmaceutical glass container is directly in front of the liquid addition pipe, the liquid addition feed cylinder causes the liquid addition pipe to extend into the pharmaceutical glass container. After the cylinder moves to the correct position, it opens the liquid addition solenoid valve to add liquid into the pharmaceutical glass container. After the liquid addition is completed, the liquid addition feed cylinder moves backward, causing the liquid inlet pipe to exit the pharmaceutical glass container. The two sides of the liquid addition solenoid valve are connected to the liquid addition pipe and the liquid inlet pipe, respectively.
[0017] Therefore, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The pharmaceutical glass container post-forming processing equipment of the present invention adopts a modular design. Compared with the platform of the same type, it can flexibly configure the pharmaceutical glass container post-forming processing device required on the platform, thereby improving the versatility of the platform. (2) The pharmaceutical glass container post-forming processing device of the present invention can perform a series of post-processing processes on pharmaceutical glass containers. The blowing, cleaning and sulfidation pretreatment devices can greatly improve the internal surface performance and chemical performance indicators of pharmaceutical glass containers. At the same time, the vision and mechanical inspection devices can detect and control the size and appearance of pharmaceutical glass containers in real time, ensuring the quality of the products. Meanwhile, the corresponding processing devices adopt a modular design, which increases flexibility. (3) The pharmaceutical glass container post-forming processing bottle receiving and transferring device of the present invention adopts a CNC module manipulator or robot device. Compared with the traditional cylinder and mechanical structure, the transfer process is more stable and less prone to bottle dropping. At the same time, it has less impact on the appearance of the products. (4) The vision inspection system of the present invention uses a design of pneumatic slip ring and independent vacuum nozzle control, which solves the problem of unstable suction caused by non-continuous feeding, making the vision inspection system more stable.

Detailed Implementation
[0041] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0042] like Figure 1-13 In the illustrated embodiment, a novel integrated processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding includes a conveying platform 1 and several different post-molding processing modules. The post-molding processing modules include: a CNC module robotic arm or robot bottle receiving device 2, a sampling device 3, a cooling blowing device 4, a visual inspection device 5, an inner surface blowing device 6, a mechanical inspection device 7, a waste removal device 8, a water injection device 9, a vibration device 10, a water absorption and drying device 11, an inner surface vulcanization pretreatment device 12, and a CNC module robotic arm or robot bottle transfer device 13. The system comprises the following stations: the first station is the bottle receiving station, equipped with a CNC module robotic arm or robot bottle receiving device 2; the second station is the cooling and blowing station, equipped with a cooling and blowing device 4; the third station is the sampling station, equipped with a sampling device 3; the fourth station is the visual inspection station, equipped with a visual inspection device 5; the fifth station is the blowing station, equipped with an inner surface blowing device 6; the sixth station is the mechanical inspection station, equipped with a mechanical inspection device 7; the seventh station is the mechanical inspection and waste removal station, equipped with a waste removal device 8; the eighth station is the inner surface cleaning station, equipped with a water injection device 9, a vibration device 10, and a water absorption and drying device 11; the ninth station is the inner surface vulcanization pretreatment station, equipped with an inner surface vulcanization pretreatment device 12; and the tenth station is the bottle transfer station, equipped with a CNC module robotic arm or robot bottle transfer device 13.
[0043] The conveying platform is primarily used for transporting and arranging the produced pharmaceutical glass containers in a regular pattern, facilitating post-processing at each workstation on the platform. The conveying platform includes a drive wheel, driven wheel, chain tensioning device, support plate, drive chain, positioning and separating tray pads, positioning and separating trays, connecting plates, support feet, chain track, chain track support, reducer, servo traction motor, and other related components. The drive chain of the conveying platform is looped, passing through the upper part of the pharmaceutical glass container forming and post-processing equipment and simultaneously through the lower part of the equipment. The drive chain is made of chain steel, preferably a friction-resistant chain steel. The chain track of the conveying platform is installed below and outside the drive chain, mainly providing positioning and support for the drive chain. The chain track is made of plastic, preferably a self-lubricating and wear-resistant polymer plastic. The chain track support is located between the upper and lower chain tracks, primarily for fixing the chain track, and is preferably made of aluminum alloy. The chain track support has support plates on both sides, which mainly regulate the support of the chain track. The support plates are of modular structure; support plates of different lengths can be connected by support pieces to form conveyor platforms of different lengths. The support plates and support pieces are preferably made of stainless steel. The driven wheel of the conveyor platform is fixedly installed on the inlet side, and the driving wheel is fixedly installed on the outlet side, preferably made of steel. The inlet of the pharmaceutical glass container forming and processing equipment is equipped with a chain tensioning device, preferably made of steel. A positioning and separating tray is installed on the upper surface of the transmission chain. The positioning and separating tray allows the pharmaceutical glass containers to be transferred onto the transmission chain and arranged at predetermined intervals, preferably made of high-temperature resistant polymer plastic.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the conveyor platform 1 includes a drive chain 1-2, with a driven wheel 1-1 mounted on one side and a driving wheel 1-11 mounted on the other side. A chain track 1-9 is provided on the outside of the drive chain 1-2. Chain track supports 1-10 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the chain track 1-9. Support plates 1-3 are installed on the outer sides of the chain track supports 1-10, and the chain track supports 1-10 and support plates 1-3 are fixed together by screws. The support plates 1-3 are of a modular design; multiple different support plates 1-3 can be connected by connecting pieces 1-7 to form conveyor platforms of different lengths. Support feet 1-8 are provided at the connection points of the support plates 1-3. The drive chain 1-2 runs in a ring shape, driving the driving wheel 1-11 to rotate via a servo traction motor and a reducer 1-12, which in turn rotates the drive chain 1-2, causing the driven wheel 1-1 to rotate. A chain tensioning device 1-2 is provided on the outside of the driven wheel 1-1. The speed of the drive chain 1-2 can be adjusted as needed. Positioning partition plate 1-5 and positioning partition plate 1-6 are installed above the drive chain 1-2. The positioning partition plate 1-5 is connected to the drive chain 1-2 by rivets. The positioning partition plate 1-5 and positioning partition plate 1-6 are fixed together by screws. The positioning partition plates 1-6 are arranged at equal intervals, ensuring that the pharmaceutical glass containers are arranged at regular intervals, preventing adjacent pharmaceutical glass containers from colliding and breaking, and guaranteeing the conveying quality of the pharmaceutical glass containers 8-3.
[0045] The first station of the integrated processing equipment after the pharmaceutical glass containers are formed is a CNC modular robot or robot bottle-receiving station, which is equipped with a CNC modular robot or robot device 2. This device mainly transfers the pharmaceutical glass containers produced on the bottle-making equipment, ensuring that the containers are accurately placed between the positioning and separating trays on the conveyor platform. The CNC modular robot or robot bottle-receiving device includes a 3-axis CNC module or 3-axis robot, a rotary variable-diameter robot, a bottle-clamping cylinder or electric cylinder, a fixed bracket or base, and other related components. The CNC modular robot or robot has a 3-axis motion structure. When using a CNC modular robot, it needs to be connected and fixed via a bracket; when using a robot, it needs to be fixed via a dedicated base. The front end of the CNC modular robot or robot is equipped with a rotary variable-diameter robot, which is suitable for conveyor platforms with positioning and separating trays of different spacing. The rotary variable diameter manipulator is equipped with a bottle-clamping cylinder or electric cylinder, which can clamp and transfer pharmaceutical glass containers transferred from the bottle-making machine. It can clamp two pharmaceutical glass containers at the same time. If an electric cylinder is used, the clamping force can also be controlled to avoid affecting the pharmaceutical glass.
[0046] The second station of the integrated processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding is a cooling and blowing station, which is equipped with a cooling and blowing device 4. This device primarily pre-cools the pharmaceutical glass containers, facilitating subsequent post-processing. The cooling and blowing device includes a cooling fan, a filter screen, a protective cover, a flow equalization plate, and a fixed support, among other components. The cooling fan is preferably a cross-flow fan. The flow equalization plate has a honeycomb structure and is preferably made of plastic. The protective cover has a cubic perforated structure and is preferably made of stainless steel. The filter screen is preferably a primary filter cotton. The fixed support is preferably an aluminum alloy structure.
[0047] The third post-processing station of the integrated processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding is the sampling station, which is equipped with an automatic sampling device. This device is primarily used for automatic sampling of the products. The sampling device includes a sampling cylinder, a sampling box, a fixing bracket, and other related components. When the user activates the automatic sampling function, the automatic sampling device will automatically sample according to the sampling location and quantity set by the user.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the waste removal device 3 includes a sampling cylinder 3-2, a sampling box 3-3, and a sampling guide rail 3-4. When sampling is required, the pharmaceutical glass container 3-1 is positioned between the sampling cylinder 3-2 and the sampling box 3-3. The sampling cylinder 3-2 moves forward, sending the sample pharmaceutical glass container 8-3 into the sampling box 3-3 through the sampling guide rail 3-4, thus completing the sampling.
[0049] The fourth post-processing station of the integrated processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding is a visual inspection station, equipped with a visual inspection device 5. This device primarily inspects the dimensions and appearance of the mouth and bottom of the pharmaceutical glass containers. The visual inspection device includes a bottle-suction robot, a transfer nozzle, an inspection turntable, inspection bottle-suction components, a pneumatic slip ring, a rotating device, a lifting mechanism for the rotating device, a visual camera inspection system, a bottle-placement robot, and a waste-removing nozzle, among other related components. The bottle-suction robot and bottle-placement robot are preferably 90° PPU transfer robots, which feature high repeatability and fast movement speed. The inspection turntable has a circular structure with four inspection stations evenly distributed around its circumference. Each inspection station is equipped with a modular inspection bottle-suction component, which can be replaced according to the outer diameter of the product. A vacuum pipeline is connected below each inspection bottle-suction component, and the vacuum of each component is individually controlled by a solenoid valve. The inspection turntable is connected to a pneumatic slip ring. The pneumatic slip ring ensures that the vacuum suction tube does not become entangled when the inspection turntable rotates, thus enabling the inspection turntable to rotate while the vacuum suction tube remains stationary. This design improves upon the limitation of other similar devices that cannot achieve individual vacuum control for each inspection station. The inspection turntable, fixed to the central axis of the pneumatic slip ring, is rotated by a servo motor, with each rotation angle being 90°. A rotating device is located above the top station of the inspection turntable. When the pharmaceutical glass container is at the top station, the rotating device, through its lifting mechanism, descends to contact the container, causing the rotating wheel to rotate. At this time, the inspection camera takes multiple shots of the container from various angles to ensure that glass defects are correctly identified. The visual camera inspection system is equipped with two sets of cameras to inspect the dimensions of the opening and body of the pharmaceutical glass container. The visual inspection device is equipped with a waste removal port at the bottom. When the visual camera inspection system determines that the product is unqualified, the bottle-laying robot will not pick up the unqualified product, and the inspection turntable will continue to rotate. At this time, the vacuum solenoid valve of the corresponding inspection station will close, and the unqualified product will automatically fall into the waste removal port, thereby realizing the waste removal operation.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the visual inspection device 5 includes an inspection turntable 5-4, with four inspection bottle suction assemblies 5-9 evenly distributed around its circumference. A rotating device 5-7 is positioned above the turntable 5-4, powered by a rotary motor 5-8. A lifting mechanism 5-10 is located below the rotating device 5-7, powered by a lifting motor 5-11. A lifting height adjustment device 5-1 is positioned above the lifting mechanism 5-10. Two inspection cameras 5-3 are positioned at the front and upper right of the inspection turntable 5-4. One PPU robotic arm 5-2 is installed at the front and back of the detection turntable 5-4 in the horizontal direction. When the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6 moves to the area below the right PPU robotic arm 5-2 via the conveyor platform 1, the transfer nozzle 5-12 at the front of the PPU robotic arm 5-2 picks up the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6, then rotates it 90° and transfers it to the detection bottle suction assembly 5-9 on the detection turntable 5-4. The detection turntable 5-4 then rotates the detection bottle suction assembly 5-9 and the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6 together by 90°, transferring the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6 between the detection turntable 5-4 and the rotating device 5-7. At this time, the rotating device 5-7 descends and rotates the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6. Simultaneously, the detection camera 5-3 continuously takes pictures of the rotating pharmaceutical glass container 5-6. After the inspection camera 5-3 finishes taking pictures, the inspection turntable 5-4 continues to rotate the inspection suction assembly 5-9 and the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6 together by 90°. At this time, the transfer nozzle 5-12 at the front of the left PPU robot arm 5-2 sucks up the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6 and puts it back on the conveyor platform 1, and the inspection is completed. When the vision inspection system determines that the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6 is unqualified, the left PPU robot arm 5-2 will not transfer the pharmaceutical glass container 5-6 back to the conveyor platform 1. At this time, the inspection suction assembly 5-9 will not pick up the unqualified pharmaceutical glass container 5-6. Due to gravity, the unqualified pharmaceutical glass container 5-6 will automatically fall into the waste removal port 5-5 and be removed from the waste.
[0051] The fifth post-processing station of the comprehensive processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding is the inner surface blowing station, which is equipped with an inner surface blowing device 6. This device mainly cleans the inner surface of the pharmaceutical glass containers by blowing air, improving the cleanliness of the inner surface and reducing the adhesion of alkaline oxides generated during the bottle-making process. The inner surface blowing device includes a blowing pipe, a blowing control solenoid valve, a blowing feed cylinder, a blowing pipe height adjustment device, a blowing pipe fixing block, a blowing rear baffle, and a blowing front baffle, among other related components. The blowing pipe has a hollow tubular structure and is preferably made of wear-resistant high-polymer plastic.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inner surface blowing device 6 includes a blowing pipe 6-2. During operation, the front end of the blowing pipe 6-2 extends into the pharmaceutical glass container 6-5 to blow air via the back-and-forth movement of the blowing feed cylinder 6-3. The rear end of the blowing pipe 6-2 is connected to a compressed air pipeline. The flow of compressed air is controlled by a solenoid valve; when blowing is needed, the solenoid valve is activated, allowing compressed air to enter the blowing pipe 6-2. The blowing pipe 6-2 passes through the fixing hole in the middle of the blowing pipe fixing block 6-1 and is then fixed with screws. Below the blowing pipe fixing block 6-1 is a blowing pipe fixing block connecting plate 6-6, which is connected to the blowing feed cylinder 6-3. Below the blowing feed cylinder 6-3 is a cylinder connecting fixing plate 6-4, which is connected to the blowing pipe height adjustment device 6-7 via screws. The blowing pipe height adjustment device 6-7, after being connected and assembled with the connecting fixing base plate 6-8, is installed as a whole on the conveying platform 1. The sixth post-processing station of the integrated processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding is a mechanical measurement station, which is equipped with a mechanical measuring device 7. This device primarily measures the total height and bottom concavity dimensions of the pharmaceutical glass containers. The mechanical measuring device includes components such as a total height measuring and height adjustment device, a bottom concavity measuring and height adjustment device, a measuring positioning base plate, and an automatic lifting device. The total height measuring and height adjustment device includes a servo linear electric cylinder, a detection head, and a height adjustment device. Traditional total height detection devices are purely mechanical structures; during detection, the cylinder force cannot be controlled, easily causing damage to the bottom and mouth of the pharmaceutical glass container. The servo linear electric cylinder, due to its force sensing function, ensures consistent force values for each total height measurement, reducing the impact of detection on the pharmaceutical glass container. Simultaneously, the height adjustment device can adjust the height of the total height measuring device to accommodate pharmaceutical glass containers of different sizes. The bottom concavity measurement and height adjustment device includes a servo linear electric cylinder, a detection head, and a height adjustment device. Traditional bottom concavity detection devices are purely mechanical structures. During detection, the cylinder force cannot be controlled, which can easily damage the bottom of the pharmaceutical glass container. The servo linear electric cylinder, due to its force sensing function, ensures that the force value remains consistent during each full-height detection, reducing the impact of detection on the pharmaceutical glass container. Simultaneously, the height adjustment device can adjust the height of the bottom concavity measurement device to accommodate pharmaceutical glass containers of different sizes. The measurement positioning base plate and automatic lifting device include components such as a lifting motor, lifting guide columns, lifting guide sleeves, lifting guide column fixing seats, measurement positioning base plate, and measurement positioning base plate fixing plate. The lifting motor is preferably a closed-loop stepper motor. The automatic lifting device has a 4-guide-column mechanical structure, enabling precise positioning of vertical movement. The measurement positioning base plate is preferably made of stainless steel.
[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, the mechanical measuring device 7 includes a lifting motor 7-1, which is connected to a lower lifting block 7-2. A lifting guide post 7-8, a lifting guide sleeve 7-9, and a lifting guide post fixing seat 7-10 are arranged in the middle of the lifting block 7-2, enabling better guidance for the vertical movement of the lifting block 7-2. A measuring positioning base plate fixing plate 7-11 is arranged below the lifting block 7-2, and a positioning slot is provided below the lifting block 7-2 to maintain better parallelism of the measuring positioning base plate fixing plate 7-11. The measuring positioning base plate 7-3 is located in front of the measuring positioning base plate fixing plate 7-11, and the bottom concave measuring device fixing plate 7-14 is located behind it. Directly in front of the measuring positioning base plate 7-3 is the full height measuring device 7-5. When the pharmaceutical glass container 7-4 enters between the measuring positioning base plate 7-3 and the full height measuring device 7-5, the lifting motor 7-1 descends, causing the measuring positioning base plate 7-3 and the bottom concavity measuring sensor 7-12 to descend as well. At this time, the full height measuring device 7-5 begins to move forward, pushing the pharmaceutical glass container 7-4 until its measuring head contacts the opening of the pharmaceutical glass container 7-4 and the measuring positioning base plate 7-3 and the bottom concavity measuring sensor 7-12 abut against the bottom of the pharmaceutical glass container 7-4. At this point, the system can automatically read the displacement distance of the full height measuring device 7-5 and the bottom concavity measuring sensor 7-12, and calculate the full height and bottom concavity data of the pharmaceutical glass container 7-4. Below the full height measuring device 7-5 is the full height measuring device fixing plate 7-6, and below the full height measuring device fixing plate 7-6 is a height adjustment device 7-7. Behind the measuring and positioning base plate fixing plate 7-11 is the bottom concavity measuring device fixing plate 7-14. The bottom concavity measuring sensor 7-12 is installed below the bottom concavity measuring device fixing plate 7-14 and is fixed by the bottom concavity measuring sensor fixing seat 7-13.
[0054] The seventh post-processing station of the integrated processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding is the scrap removal station, which is equipped with a scrap removal device. This device is mainly for automatically removing products that fail mechanical inspection. The scrap removal device includes a scrap removal cylinder, scrap removal pipes, and a fixing bracket, among other components. When a product fails mechanical inspection, the scrap removal device will automatically perform the scrap removal operation.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the waste removal device 8 includes a waste removal port 8-1 and a waste removal cylinder 8-2. When the mechanical detection device 7 determines that the pharmaceutical glass container 8-3 is unqualified, and the pharmaceutical glass container 8-3 is between the waste removal port 8-1 and the waste removal cylinder 8-2, the waste removal cylinder 8-2 moves forward and kicks the unqualified pharmaceutical glass container 8-3 out of the waste removal port 8-1, thus completing the waste removal process.
[0056] The eighth post-processing station of the comprehensive processing equipment for pharmaceutical glass containers after molding is the inner surface cleaning and rinsing station. This station is further subdivided into three stations: water injection, vibration, and water absorption and drying. Each station is equipped with a corresponding post-processing device.

The water injection pipe is a hollow tubular structure, preferably made of wear-resistant high-molecular plastic. The water injection solenoid valve, water injection feed cylinder, and water injection solenoid valve height adjustment device are commercially available products. The water injection solenoid valve height adjustment device can adjust the height of the water injection solenoid valve to accommodate pharmaceutical glass containers of different sizes. The baffle after water injection has a rectangular strip structure and is preferably made of wear-resistant polymer plastic. The shaking device 10 mainly rotates and shakes the pharmaceutical glass container after water injection, causing impurities and soluble substances adhering to the inner surface of the pharmaceutical glass container to enter the purified water. The shaking device 10 includes a rotary motor, an active rotary shaft, a driven rotary shaft, a rotary clamping device, a rotary clamping device height adjustment device, a rotary clamping cylinder, a rotary protective plate, a rotary lifting device, and other related components. The rotary motor is preferably a stepper rotary motor. The rotating head and the rotary motor are driven by a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt. The rotary shaft is fixed by a special fixing device with double ball bearings at both the front and rear ends. The front of the driven rotary shaft has a spring buffer mechanism, which serves both rotation and clamping functions. The clamping cylinder is a commercially available product. The rotating baffle has a V-shaped structure and is preferably made of wear-resistant high-polymer plastic. The rotating lifting device consists of a stepper lifting motor and a lifting mechanism.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the water injection device 9 includes a water injection solenoid valve 9-5, a water injection pipe 9-1, and a water injection feed cylinder 9-7. When the pharmaceutical glass container 9-2 is directly in front of the water injection pipe, the water injection feed cylinder 9-7 moves forward, and the water injection pipe extends into the pharmaceutical glass container 9-2. After the cylinder reaches its position, it opens the water injection solenoid valve 9-5 to inject water into the pharmaceutical glass container 9-2. After water injection is completed, the water injection feed cylinder 9-7 moves backward, and the water injection pipe exits the pharmaceutical glass container 9-2. The front of the water injection solenoid valve 9-5 is connected to the water injection pipe 9-1, and the rear is connected to the water inlet pipe 9-6. The lower part of the water injection feed cylinder 9-7 is a cylinder connecting and fixing plate 9-8, which is connected to the water injection solenoid valve height adjustment device 9-3 by screws. The water injection solenoid valve height adjustment device 9-3 can adjust the height of the water injection solenoid valve 9-5 according to the requirements of pharmaceutical glass containers 9-2 of different sizes. The height adjustment device 9-3 for the water injection solenoid valve is fixed to the conveying platform 1 after being connected to the connecting and fixing base plate 9-4. The water inlet pipe 9-6 is connected to the one-way throttle valve 9-9 via the connecting pipe 9-10, which can adjust the water injection volume. The other end of the one-way throttle valve 9-9 is connected to the water injection pump 9-13, which provides power to the water injection device. The water injection pump 9-13 is placed in the water tank 9-12, which is equipped with a liquid level sensor 9-11. When the liquid level in the water tank 9-12 is lower than the set value, the sensor will sound an alarm to remind the user to add water in time. Besides the water pump 9-13 providing power to the water injection device, another method of powering the device exists: the constant pressure control valve 9-15 controls the constant pressure within the water tank 9-12, causing water to be forced out from the bottom of the tank. The water tank 9-12 requires a sealed pressure vessel. The pressure gauge 9-14 is installed above the water tank 9-12.
[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 10As shown, the vibration device 10 includes a lifting motor 10-1, which is connected to a lower lifting block 10-4. A lifting guide column 10-11, a lifting guide sleeve 10-3, and a lifting guide column fixing seat 10-12 are arranged in the middle of the lifting block 10-4, enabling better guidance for the vertical movement of the lifting block 10-4. A rotating protective plate 10-5 is arranged in front of the lifting block 10-4, with a positioning block below the rotating protective plate 10-5. A driven rotating shaft 10-6 and a driven rotating shaft fixing device 10-7 are arranged in front of the rotating protective plate 10-5. An active rotating device fixing plate 10-13 is arranged behind the lifting block 10-4, with an active rotating shaft fixing device 10-16 and an active rotating shaft 10-17 arranged below the active rotating device fixing plate 10-13. Above the rotating protective plate 10-5 and the active rotating device fixing plate 10-13, there is an active rotating height adjustment handle screw 10-2, which can adjust the height of the active rotating shaft 10-17. When the pharmaceutical glass container 10-18 enters between the driven rotating shaft 10-6 and the active rotating shaft 10-17, the lifting motor 10-1 lowers, causing the active rotating device fixing plate 10-13 and the rotating protective plate 10-5 to lower as well. Then, the rotating clamping cylinder 10-19 drives the driven rotating shaft 10-6 to press the pharmaceutical glass container 10-18 back and forth. At this time, the rotating motor 10-14 drives the active rotating shaft 10-17 to rotate. Since the driven rotating shaft 10-6, the pharmaceutical glass container 10-18, and the active rotating shaft 10-17 are in a clamped state, all three rotate simultaneously, causing the water in the pharmaceutical glass container 10-18 to produce a tremor effect. After rotation, the rotary clamping cylinder 10-19 releases the driven rotating shaft 10-6, causing the pharmaceutical glass container 10-18 to fall back to its original track. At this time, the lifting motor 10-1 rises back to its original position. Below the rotary clamping cylinder 10-19 is a front-to-back distance adjustment device 10-8, which can adjust the front-to-back distance of the driven rotating shaft 10-6. Below the front-to-back distance adjustment device 10-8 are a connecting plate 10-9, a rotary clamping device height adjustment device 10-10, and a driven rotation height adjustment handle screw 10-20, which can adjust the height of the driven rotating shaft 10-6. The rotary clamping device height adjustment device 10-10 is also fixed to the conveyor line 1.
[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 11As shown, the water-absorbing and drying device 11 includes a buffer head 11-12, a water-absorbing and drying tube 11-13, and a water-absorbing and drying head fixing plate 11-6. When the pharmaceutical glass container 11-15 is in front of the water-absorbing and drying tube 11-13, the water-absorbing and drying feed cylinder 11-11 drives the connecting arm 11-4, connecting rod 11-5, water-absorbing and drying head fixing plate 11-6, buffer head 11-12, and water-absorbing and drying tube 11-13 to move back and forth together. At the same time, due to the action of the front and rear guide device 11-3, the above movement is oblique. During the water absorption process, the mouth of the pharmaceutical glass container 11-15 will tilt up, which is conducive to the accumulation of water at the bottom of the suction rod. The fixed optical axis 11-1 provides support and guidance for the entire device. A height fixing guide sleeve 11-2 is provided on the fixed optical axis 11-1. The height fixing guide sleeve 11-2 can adjust and lock the height of the entire device. Below the height-fixed guide sleeve 11-2 is a lifting plate 11-9, which allows for height adjustment of the entire device. Below the lifting plate 11-9 is a front-to-back distance adjustment device 11-10, which adjusts the distance the water-absorbing and drying tube 11-13 extends into the pharmaceutical glass container 11-15. A guide baffle 11-14 is installed between the water-absorbing and drying tube 11-13 and the pharmaceutical glass container 11-15 to guide the water-absorbing and drying tube 11-13 before it enters the pharmaceutical glass container 11-15. The guide baffle 11-14 is connected to the fixed optical axis 11-1 via an optical axis connecting fixing block 11-7. The fixed optical axis 11-1 is mounted on the conveying platform 1 via an optical axis fixing seat.

There are two optional solutions for the liquid filling power device: Solution 1 is a device consisting of a liquid filling pump, a liquid level sensor, and a liquid filling tank, which is relatively low-cost and simple in structure; Solution 2 is a device consisting of a pressure storage tank, a liquid level sensor, and a constant pressure control device, which can control a constant pressure and make liquid filling more accurate. The liquid filling pipe is a hollow tubular structure, preferably made of wear-resistant high-molecular plastic. The liquid filling solenoid valve, the liquid filling feed cylinder, and the liquid filling solenoid valve height adjustment device are commercially available products. The liquid filling solenoid valve height adjustment device can adjust the height of the liquid filling solenoid valve to accommodate pharmaceutical glass containers of different sizes. The baffle after liquid addition has a rectangular strip structure and is preferably made of wear-resistant polymer plastic.

When the pharmaceutical glass container 12-2 is directly in front of the liquid-adding pipe, the liquid-adding feed cylinder 12-7 moves forward, and the liquid-adding pipe extends into the pharmaceutical glass container 12-2. After the cylinder reaches its position, it opens the liquid-adding solenoid valve 12-5 to add liquid into the pharmaceutical glass container 12-2. After the liquid-adding is completed, the liquid-adding feed cylinder 12-7 moves backward, and the liquid-adding pipe exits the pharmaceutical glass container 12-2. The front part of the liquid-adding solenoid valve 12-5 is connected to the liquid-adding pipe 12-1, and the rear part is connected to the liquid-adding pipe 12-6. The lower part of the liquid feeding cylinder 12-7 is a cylinder connecting and fixing plate 12-8. The cylinder connecting and fixing plate 12-8 is connected to the liquid feeding solenoid valve height adjustment device 12-3 by screws. The liquid feeding solenoid valve height adjustment device 12-3 can adjust the height of the liquid feeding solenoid valve 12-5 according to the requirements of different sizes of pharmaceutical glass containers 12-2. The liquid feeding solenoid valve height adjustment device 12-3 is fixed on the conveying platform 1 after being connected to the connecting and fixing base plate 12-4. The water inlet pipe 12-6 is connected to the one-way throttle valve 12-9 through the connecting pipe 12-10. The one-way throttle valve 12-9 can adjust the liquid feeding volume. The other end of the one-way throttle valve 12-9 is a liquid feeding water pump 12-13, which is responsible for providing power to the liquid feeding device. The water pump 12-13 is placed in the water tank 12-12, which is equipped with a level sensor 12-11. When the level in the water tank 12-12 falls below a set value, the sensor will sound an alarm to remind the user to add water. Besides the water pump 12-13 providing power to the liquid adding device, another method of powering the device exists: a constant pressure control valve 12-15 controls the constant pressure within the water tank 12-12, forcing liquid out from the bottom of the tank. The water tank 12-12 requires a sealed pressure vessel. A pressure gauge 12-14 is installed above the water tank 12-12.
