Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ampoule recycling, and more specifically to a bulk ampoule recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, ampoule recycling is mostly done manually by sorting and collecting them. However, due to the different sizes of ampoules—for example, ampoules for storing controlled substances come in 1ml and 5ml sizes—for convenience, after use, these ampoules of different sizes are temporarily placed in the same container, and then sorted and collected by designated personnel every two weeks or one month. This requires dedicated personnel to sort and collect these ampoules, wasting resources, increasing costs, and manual sorting is prone to errors and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bulk ampoule recycling device to solve the problems of low efficiency and error-proneness of manual sorting in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a bulk ampoule recycling device with the following technical solution: a bulk ampoule recycling device includes a device frame, a storage cavity for bulk ampoules to enter on the device frame, and a first sorting module and a second sorting module on the device frame.

[0005] The first sorting module includes a first conveyor belt and a first recycling bin. Multiple first partitions are spaced apart on the outer side of the first conveyor belt along the conveying direction. A first receiving cavity for accommodating small-sized ampoules is formed between any two adjacent first partitions. One end of the first conveyor belt is located in the receiving cavity. Small-sized ampoules in the receiving cavity enter the corresponding first receiving cavity on the first conveyor belt and are conveyed to the first recycling bin along with the first conveyor belt.

[0006] The second sorting module includes a second conveyor belt and a second recycling bin. Multiple second partitions are spaced apart on the outer side of the second conveyor belt along the conveying direction. A second receiving cavity for accommodating large-sized ampoules is formed between any two adjacent second partitions. One end of the second conveyor belt is located in the receiving cavity. Large-sized ampoules remaining in the receiving cavity after being picked up by the first conveyor belt enter the corresponding second receiving cavity on the second conveyor belt and are conveyed to the second recycling bin along with the second conveyor belt.

[0007] A movable rotating plate is provided in the storage cavity. The movable rotating plate has a first working state after rotation and a second working state after rotation. When the movable rotating plate rotates to the first working state, all the ampoules fed into the storage cavity can be sent to the first conveyor belt and sorted by the first conveyor belt. Small-sized ampoules are sent to the first recycling bin by the first conveyor belt, while large-sized ampoules are temporarily left in the receiving cavity. During the process of the movable rotating plate rotating to the second working state, the large-sized ampoules temporarily left in the receiving cavity roll to the second conveyor belt and are sent to the second recycling bin by the second conveyor belt.

[0008] The storage cavity is provided with a guide plate whose lower end is inclined toward the first conveyor belt. When the movable rotating plate rotates to the first working state, the end of the movable rotating plate is connected with the lower end of the guide plate.

[0009] The device frame is equipped with rotatable brushes above each conveyor belt to correct the position of ampoules in the corresponding receiving cavities of the lower conveyor belt, so that they lie horizontally in the receiving cavities.

[0010] Each recycling bin on the device frame is equipped with an identification and sorting mechanism to identify and sort the ampoules delivered by the corresponding conveyor belt, so that ampoules that meet the recycling requirements are sent into the corresponding recycling bins, and ampoules that do not meet the recycling requirements are sorted out.

[0011] Each of the aforementioned identification and sorting mechanisms includes a material drop box located at the end of the corresponding conveyor belt. The lower end of the material drop box has a material drop port. A support roller and a support plate that cooperate with the support roller to support the falling ampoules are arranged on the device frame below the material drop port. The support plate is installed on the device frame through a horizontal adjustment structure so that the support plate can be close to the support roller to support the ampoules and away from the support roller to release the ampoules so that they fall.

[0012] The support roller is rotatably mounted on the device frame, which is equipped with a support roller drive motor to drive the support roller to rotate. A camera is mounted on the device frame above the material feeding box to capture images of the support roller and the ampoule on the support plate below through the material feeding port. The camera is connected to a controller to compare the captured images with images pre-stored in the controller. The controller is connected to the support roller drive motor.

[0013] The device frame is equipped with a travel limit switch at the top of each conveyor belt. The travel limit switch has a push rod, which is used to detect ampoules transported to the end of the conveyor belt, so as to ensure that one ampoule falls at a time.

[0014] The device also includes a feeding mechanism for feeding ampoules into the storage cavity. The feeding mechanism includes a housing with a cavity for accommodating a batch of ampoules. A third conveyor belt is provided in the cavity for feeding the ampoules in the cavity into the storage cavity.

[0015] The feeding mechanism also includes a flipping box for accommodating a batch of ampoules. The flipping box is mounted on the housing via the flipping mechanism to pour the ampoules from the flipping box into the storage cavity. The flipping mechanism includes a mounting frame mounted on the housing. The mounting frame has two opposing track grooves. The track grooves have a vertical section and an arc section at the upper end of the vertical section that transitions towards the housing. The flipping mechanism also includes a first bracket. The first bracket has first guide wheels mounted in the two track grooves. The first bracket is hinged to a second bracket. The second bracket has second guide wheels mounted in the vertical section of the two track grooves. The mounting frame has an electric push rod. One end of the electric push rod is hinged to the mounting frame, and the other end is hinged to the first bracket. The flipping box is mounted on the first bracket. The electric push rod drives the first bracket and the flipping box on it to move upward along the vertical section to the arc section, and then flips along the arc section towards the cavity of the housing to place the ampoules from the flipping box into the storage cavity.

[0016] The first support is equipped with a limiting mechanism to prevent the flipping box from falling into the cavity during movement. The first support is equipped with a placement rack with a groove for placing the flipping box. The limiting mechanism includes a first limiting block horizontally guided on the placement rack, with the first limiting block spaced apart from the bottom of the groove. A second limiting block is positioned opposite the first limiting block on the other side of the groove, with the second limiting block spaced apart from the bottom of the groove. The placement rack is equipped with a limiting block driving mechanism to drive the first limiting block toward and away from the second limiting block. The first limiting block, the second limiting block, and the groove form a "T"-shaped groove structure for the flipping box to be movably inserted. The first limiting block and the second limiting block respectively engage with the protruding edges on both sides of the bottom of the flipping box to prevent the flipping box from falling during the flipping process.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A batch of ampoules in both large and small sizes is fed into the storage cavity. With the assistance of a movable turntable, the system first rotates to a first working state. At this time, all ampoules are sent to the first conveyor belt. Since the first receiving cavity on the first conveyor belt can only accommodate small-sized ampoules, large-sized ampoules cannot enter and must remain temporarily in the storage cavity. After the small-sized ampoules have been conveyed, the system rotates to a second working state via the movable turntable. During this rotation, the temporarily retained large-sized ampoules roll onto the second conveyor belt, which then transports them to the second recycling bin. The entire sorting process requires minimal manual intervention, which not only improves sorting efficiency but also significantly reduces the error rate. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the term "technique" or "science" as used herein has the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The use of "technique" in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention.

[0027] An embodiment of the ampoule bulk recycling device of the present invention, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a frame, a storage cavity 1 on the frame for receiving ampoules in batches, and a feeding mechanism on the frame for feeding ampoules into the storage cavity. Specifically, the feeding mechanism, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a housing 4, which has a cavity 5 for accommodating a batch of ampoules. A third conveyor belt 6 is installed within the cavity. The third conveyor belt is inclined vertically, with its lower end located within the cavity. The function of the third conveyor belt is to transport the ampoules from the cavity into the storage cavity. Specifically, multiple partitions are spaced apart on the outer surface of the third conveyor belt along its conveying direction. The gap between any two partitions is larger than the diameter of a large-sized ampoule, allowing both large and small ampoules to enter, thus ensuring that all ampoules in the cavity are completely transported into the storage cavity. A transition plate is provided between the storage cavity and the main cavity to facilitate the smooth entry of ampoules from the third conveyor belt.

[0028] The feeding mechanism includes a flipping box 7, which is used to hold a batch of ampoules. Specifically, the flipping box includes a box body with a protruding rim at the lower end. The box body can hold both large and small ampoules in batches. The flipping box is mounted on the housing via a flipping mechanism, which pours the ampoules from the flipping box into the storage cavity. In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism specifically includes a mounting frame 8 mounted on the housing 4. The mounting frame has two opposing track grooves 9, each with a vertical section and an arc section at the upper end of the vertical section transitioning towards the housing. The vertical section guides the flipping box up and down, while the arc section allows for the flipping and emptying of the box. To achieve the above functions of the flipping box, the flipping mechanism also includes a first support 11, which has first guide wheels mounted in the two track grooves. The first guide wheels can move between the vertical section and the arc section. The first bracket is hinged to a second bracket 12. The second bracket has guide wheels mounted in the vertical sections of two track grooves, meaning the guide wheels only move within the vertical sections and do not enter the arc sections. An electric push rod 13 is mounted on the mounting frame. One end (the housing end) of the electric push rod is hinged to the mounting frame, and the other end (the moving end) is hinged to the first bracket. The electric push rod drives the first bracket to move up and down and to rotate. The tilting box is mounted on the first bracket and moves up and down and rotates with it. Specifically, the electric push rod drives the first bracket and its tilting box upwards along the vertical section to the arc section. Then, the first bracket rotates along the arc section of the track groove. The second bracket always moves in the vertical direction, meaning the guide wheels do not enter the arc section. This design allows the second bracket to continue lifting the hinged end of the first bracket, allowing the tilting box to rotate more than 90 degrees, ensuring that all ampoules in the tilting box are poured into the cavity.

[0029] To prevent the flipping box from falling during the flipping process, a limiting mechanism is provided on the first support to prevent the flipping box from falling during its movement into the cavity. In this embodiment, a placement rack 14 is provided on the first support 11, and a groove 15 is provided on the placement rack for placing the flipping box, that is, the bottom of the groove supports the bottom of the flipping box. The limiting mechanism includes a first limiting block 17 horizontally guided on the placement rack, the first limiting block being spaced apart from the bottom of the groove, and a second limiting block 10 opposite to the first limiting block on the other side of the groove. The second limiting block can also be fixedly set to the placement rack, and the second limiting block is also spaced apart from the bottom of the groove. In this way, the first limiting block, the second limiting block, and the groove form a "T"-shaped groove structure 16 for the flipping box to be movably inserted. The first limiting block and the second limiting block respectively engage with the protruding edges on both sides of the bottom of the flipping box to limit its movement and prevent the flipping box from falling during the flipping process. In use, simply push the ampoules into the tilting box for installation. After emptying, the tilting box can be easily pulled out and removed once it returns to its original position. Furthermore, the placement rack is equipped with a limit block drive mechanism that moves the first limit block closer to and further away from the second limit block, accommodating tilting boxes of different sizes, making it highly adaptable and versatile.

[0030] The device frame is equipped with a first sorting module 2 and a second sorting module 3. The first sorting module and the second sorting module, as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first sorting module 2 includes a first conveyor belt 26 and a first recycling bin, and the second sorting module 3 includes a second conveyor belt 28 and a second recycling bin. Multiple first partitions 27 are spaced apart on the outer surface of the first conveyor belt 26 along the conveying direction, forming a first receiving cavity 31 for small ampoules between any two adjacent first partitions. Multiple second partitions are spaced apart on the outer surface of the second conveyor belt along the conveying direction, forming a second receiving cavity for large ampoules between any two adjacent second partitions. Both the first and second conveyor belts are inclined vertically, and their lower ends are located in the storage cavity 1. Small ampoules in the storage cavity can enter the corresponding first receiving cavity on the first conveyor belt and be conveyed to the first recycling bin along with the first conveyor belt. Large ampoules remaining in the storage cavity after being sorted by the first conveyor belt can enter the corresponding second receiving cavity on the second conveyor belt and be conveyed to the second recycling bin along with the second conveyor belt. To achieve the desired sequence, smaller ampoules are first transported by a first conveyor belt, and then larger ampoules are transported by a second conveyor belt. Specifically, a movable rotating plate 29 is installed in the storage cavity, driven by a rotating plate motor. The movable rotating plate has a first working state and a second working state after rotation. When the movable rotating plate rotates to the first working state, all ampoules fed into the storage cavity are sent to the first conveyor belt and sorted by it. At this time, the movable rotating plate blocks the channel between the ampoules and the second conveyor belt. A guide plate 30 with its lower end inclined towards the first conveyor belt 26 can be installed in the storage cavity 1. When the movable rotating plate rotates to the first working state, the end of the movable rotating plate aligns with the lower end of the guide plate. At this time, the smaller ampoules are sent into the first recycling bin by the first conveyor belt, while the larger ampoules remain temporarily in the receiving cavity. After the small ampoules are sorted, the movable turntable rotates from the first working state to the second working state. During this rotation, the large ampoules temporarily remaining in the receiving chamber will roll towards the second conveyor belt under gravity and be conveyed to the second recycling bin. When the movable turntable is in the second working state, it can be in an inclined state, which has a reverse flow function, making it easier for the large ampoules to roll onto the second conveyor belt. Since the ampoules do not always enter the receiving chamber of the conveyor belt lying flat, a brush 31 is rotatably installed on the device frame above each conveyor belt to correct the position of the ampoules in the corresponding receiving chamber of the lower conveyor belt, so that they lie horizontally in the receiving chamber, facilitating transportation and subsequent sorting. The brushes are driven by a brush motor 34.

[0031] Each recycling bin is equipped with an identification and sorting mechanism on the rack, such as... Figure 1 and 2As shown, the function of the identification and sorting mechanism is to identify and sort the ampoules delivered by the corresponding conveyor belt, so that ampoules that meet the recycling requirements are sent into the corresponding recycling bins, and ampoules that do not meet the recycling requirements are sorted out. Because ampoules of the same size do not all need to be recycled, and they are not necessarily of the same type, they may need to be recycled separately. In this embodiment, each identification and sorting mechanism includes a dropping box 18 set at the end of the corresponding conveyor belt, and the dropping box has a dropping port 19 at the lower end. A support roller 20 and a support plate 21 that cooperates with the support roller to support the falling ampoules are arranged on the device frame below the dropping port. The support plate is installed on the device frame through a horizontal adjustment structure so that the support plate can be close to the support roller to support the ampoules and away from the support roller to release the ampoules so that they fall. The horizontal adjustment structure includes a guide block 22 horizontally guided on the device frame, a rack 23 on the guide block, a motor 24 on the device frame, and a gear 25 on the motor's power shaft that meshes with the rack. Under the action of the motor and the rack and gear, the support plate can move closer to the support roller and further away from the support roller.

[0032] The support rollers are rotatably mounted on the device frame, which is equipped with a support roller drive motor to rotate the supported ampoules. A camera 33 is mounted above the material drop box on the device frame, capturing images of the ampoules on the support rollers and support plates through the material drop port. The camera is connected to a controller to transmit the captured images. The controller has a storage module containing pre-stored standard ampoule images, which are compared with the images. The controller is connected to the support roller drive motor for automatic control. A travel limit switch 32 is mounted at the top of each conveyor belt on the device frame. Each travel limit switch has a push rod that detects ampoules transported to the end of the conveyor belt, ensuring that only one ampoule drops at a time. Travel limit switches are existing technology, and their specific structure will not be detailed in this embodiment. Each support roller is equipped with a movable guide plate 38 below it. Each recycling bin includes a main recycling bin 36 and a secondary recycling bin 37. By rotating the movable guide plate, the movable guide plate can be directed towards the main recycling bin 36 or towards the secondary recycling bin 37. Ampoules that meet the recycling criteria, i.e., those that have passed the identification process, are sent into the main recycling bin. Ampoules that do not meet the recycling criteria, i.e., those that have not passed the identification process, are sent into the secondary recycling bin for special manual processing.

[0033] In use, the ampoules in the flipping box are placed on the placement rack, or the ampoules are poured into the pre-placed flipping box. An electric pusher pushes the first support and the flipping box along the vertical section of the track groove, then flips along the arc section. Under the action of the second support, all the ampoules in the flipping box are poured into the cavity of the housing, and then the flipping box returns to its original position. Then, the second conveyor belt sends all the ampoules in the cavity into the storage cavity. At this time, the movable turntable is in the first working state. All the ampoules in the storage cavity can only be sorted by the first conveyor belt. Small-sized ampoules are conveyed away by the first conveyor belt for subsequent identification and sorting. Large-sized ampoules cannot enter the first receiving cavity on the first conveyor belt and must remain temporarily in the storage cavity. After all the small ampoules have been sorted, the control panel starts to rotate to the second working state. During this process, the large ampoules that are temporarily left behind will roll to the second conveyor belt and be sorted and transported away by the second conveyor belt for subsequent identification and sorting.
