Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of tablet cassette identification, and more particularly to a simple device and method for identifying tablet cassette specifications. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, tablets are one of the most common forms of medicine, and they are usually packaged in tablet cases for easy storage and use. However, due to the variety of tablet cases available in different sizes and specifications on the market, accurately identifying and classifying different sizes of tablet cases is an important task for pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors.

[0003] Traditional methods for identifying chip cassette specifications rely primarily on manual operation, which presents several problems. First, manual operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low efficiency. Second, manual operation is prone to errors, leading to decreased accuracy in identification and classification. Furthermore, manual operation is susceptible to subjectivity and individual differences, hindering standardization and automation.

[0048] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the simplified device for identifying the size of a tablet cassette according to the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic top view of the device for easily identifying the size of a tablet cassette according to the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a partial cross-sectional view of the distance sensor of the present invention; Figure 4 This is a schematic side view of the device for easily identifying the size of a tablet cassette according to the present invention; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the distance sensor of the present invention; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a partial cross-sectional view of the simplified identification of the cartridge specifications of the present invention; Figure 7 This is a partial schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the present invention, see below. Figures 1 to 6The diagram illustrates a simplified device for identifying tablet cassette specifications according to a preferred embodiment. The device includes a fixed plate 1, a pusher assembly 10, and a distance sensor 4. The fixed plate 1 has several conveying rollers 8 arranged sequentially along its length to form a conveying channel. All conveying rollers 8 rotate synchronously. The fixed plate 1 has a discharge section 12. The pusher assembly 10 is rotatably mounted on the conveying rollers 8. The pusher assembly 10 has a first baffle 30, a second baffle 31, a first rotating shaft 15, and a second rotating shaft 32. A gap exists between the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 31, and a tablet cassette 19 is operably placed within this gap. The two sides of the tablet cassette 19 abut against the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 31, respectively. The two ends of the first baffle 30 are directly opposite the two ends of the second baffle 31. The first rotating shaft... 15 is disposed on one end of the first baffle 30, and the second rotating shaft 32 is disposed on the other end of the second baffle 31, which is directly opposite to the first baffle 30. The first baffle 30 can rotate about the first rotating shaft 15 in a first rotation direction, and the second baffle 31 can rotate about the second rotating shaft 32 in a second rotation direction. The first rotation direction is opposite to the second rotation direction. The distance sensor 4 is disposed on the fixed plate 1. The second baffle 31 is closer to the distance sensor 4 than the first baffle 30. The distance sensor 4 has a transmitting part 23, a first receiving part 22, a second receiving part 20, and a chip 16. A first ray path is formed between the transmitting part 23 and the first receiving part, and a second ray path is formed between the transmitting part 23 and the second receiving part 20. Both the first receiving part 22 and the second receiving part 20 are connected to the chip 16.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the distance sensor 4 can be selected from the first time-of-flight sensor and the second time-of-flight sensor in Chinese Utility Model CN114787652A, which directly measures the time between the emitted light and the detection of the reflection of light from the target.

[0050] Furthermore, the first direction of rotation is as follows: Figure 2 The clockwise rotation direction is shown, and the second rotation direction is as follows. Figure 2 The direction of counterclockwise rotation is shown.

[0051] Furthermore, the loading action of the disc cassette 19 is completed by an external robotic arm, which picks up the disc cassette 19 to be identified and places the disc cassette 19 between the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 31.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the push rod assembly 10 also includes:

[0053] The first card plate 33 is arranged along the length direction of the conveying roller 8. A first slot 34 is provided on the end of the first card plate 33 away from the distance sensor 4. The first rotating shaft 15 is fixedly installed in the slot.

[0054] The second card plate 36 is arranged opposite to the first card plate 33. The second card plate 36 is arranged along the length direction of the conveying roller 8. A second card groove 35 is opened on the second card plate 36 near the distance sensor 4. The second rotating shaft 32 is fixedly arranged in the second card groove 35. The side of the second baffle 31 is operablely abutted against the side wall of the second card groove 35.

[0055] Reflector 39, the reflector 39 is connected to the second baffle 31, such as Figure 7 As shown, the width of the film cassette 19 varies with different specifications, so the distance between the reflector 39 and the distance sensor 4 is different. The distance sensor 4 determines the specifications of the film cassette 19 based on the distance by detecting the distance of the reflector 39.

[0056] The connecting rod 38 is capable of rotating about the second pivot 32 in the second rotation direction, and the connecting rod 38 is connected to the second baffle 31.

[0057] Preferably, the first rotating shaft 15 is connected to the motor shaft of a motor. When the external robotic arm picks up the disc cassette 19 to be identified and places the disc cassette 19 between the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 31, the motor does not move, and the first rotation remains stationary.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the push rod assembly 10 further includes:

[0059] The first spring part 29 has one end connected to the first baffle 30 and the other end operable against the side wall of the first slot 34. The first spring part 29 has a first elastic force that drives the first baffle 30 to rotate in the second rotation direction.

[0060] The second spring 37 has two ends connected to the second baffle 31 and the connecting rod 38 respectively, and the second spring 37 has a second elastic force to drive the second baffle 31 closer to the first baffle 30.

[0061] The third spring 40 is connected at both ends to the second baffle 31 and the connecting rod 38 respectively. The third spring 40 has a third elastic force that drives the second baffle 31 to rotate in the first rotation direction.

[0062] Furthermore, when the external robotic arm grasps the disc cassette 19 to be identified and places it between the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 31, the first rotation remains fixed, and the second spring 37 pushes the second baffle 31, thereby pushing the disc cassette 19 so that both ends of the disc cassette 19 abut against the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 31 respectively, thereby changing the size of the gap between the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 31, which is equal to the width of the disc cassette 19 to be identified.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the fixed plate 1 has a first annular plate 2 and a second annular plate 9. The first annular plate 2 is sleeved around the second annular plate 9. Several conveying rollers 8 are disposed between the first annular plate 2 and the second annular plate 9. Both ends of each conveying roller 8 are rotatably connected to the first annular plate 2 and the second annular plate 9, respectively. The distance sensor 4 is connected to the second annular plate 9. By installing a distance sensor 4, when a film box 19 passes by the distance sensor 4, the distance sensor 4 detects the distance of the reflector plate 39 and determines the specifications of the film box 19 based on the distance. This reduces the number of sensors and the amount of wiring work. The discharge part 12 is opened on the first annular plate 2.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, chip 16 can be any commercially available chip 16 that has a measurement time interval capability.

[0065] Furthermore, chip 16 can be selected from the main control chip in Chinese Utility Model CN111707149A to realize the acquisition and measurement of time intervals.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge section 12 includes a first discharge port 14, a second discharge port 13, and a third discharge port 11. The first discharge port 14, the second discharge port 13, and the third discharge port 11 are sequentially opened on the first annular plate 2. Based on the different specifications of the cassettes 19 determined by the distance sensor 4, the cassettes 19 are discharged from the first discharge port 14, the second discharge port 13, or the third discharge port 11 respectively, thereby realizing the classification of cassettes 19 of different specifications.

[0067] Furthermore, if the determined tablet cassette 19 is a 4” tablet cassette 26, the second baffle 31 will push the 4” tablet cassette 26 out of the first discharge port 14; if the determined tablet cassette 19 is a 6” tablet cassette 27, the second baffle 31 will push the 6” tablet cassette 27 out of the second discharge port 13; if the determined tablet cassette 19 is an 8” tablet cassette 28, the second baffle 31 will push the 8” tablet cassette 28 out of the third discharge port 11.

[0068] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present invention.

The second receiving part 20 is located in the second chamber 18. The chip 16 is located at the upper end of the partition 21. The first receiving part 22 and the second receiving part 20 are both connected to the chip 16, which serves to isolate the light interference in the first chamber 17 and the second chamber 18, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the distance sensor 4.

[0071] In further embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the housing 6 has a first through hole 7 and a second through hole 3. The first through hole 7 is located on one side of the transmitting part 23, and the second through hole 3 is directly opposite the second receiving part 20.

[0072] In further embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, a reflecting prism 24 is provided inside the first through hole 7, and the reflecting prism 24 is located on the second ray path.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As indicated by the arrow, the emitting part 23 continuously emits rays. After being emitted from the emitting part 23, the rays are reflected by the partition 21 to the first receiving part 22 to form a first ray path. After being emitted from the emitting part 23, the rays are reflected by the partition 21 and pass through the reflecting prism 24 and the reflecting plate 39 in sequence to the second receiving part 20 to form a second ray path.

[0074] In further embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, a bolt 25 is provided at each of the four corners of the lower end of the housing 6. The housing 6 is installed on the second annular plate 9 by the bolts 25, which is both secure and convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

[0080] Step S2: The second spring 37 pushes the second baffle 31, which in turn pushes the film box 19 so that both ends of the film box 19 abut against the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 31 respectively;

[0081] Step S3: The cassette 19 and the pusher assembly 10 move from one end of the conveying channel to the other.

A simple method for identifying the specifications of a tablet cassette, characterized in that, The apparatus for using the simplified identification cassette size as described in claim 7, the method comprising: Step S1: An external robotic arm picks up the cassette to be identified and places it between the first baffle and the second baffle; Step S2: The second spring pushes the second baffle, which in turn pushes the film box so that both ends of the film box abut against the first baffle and the second baffle respectively; Step S3: The cassette and the pusher assembly move from one end of the conveying channel to the other end; Step S4: The emitting part continuously emits rays. After being emitted from the emitting part, the rays are reflected by the partition and arrive at the first receiving part to form the first ray path. After being emitted from the emitting part, the rays are reflected by the partition and pass through the reflecting prism and the reflecting plate in sequence to the second receiving part to form the second ray path. Step S5: The time when the first receiving unit receives a portion of the rays is recorded as the first time and fed back to the chip; the time when the second receiving unit receives another portion of the rays is recorded as the second time and fed back to the chip. Step S6: The chip calculates the difference between the first time and the second time; Step S7: Determine the specifications of the cassette based on the magnitude of the difference; Step S8: The indicator light displays red, yellow, or green according to the specifications of the cassette determined by the judgment; Step S9: The connecting rod can rotate about the second pivot axis in the second rotation direction to push the tablet box to move away from the second baffle, drive the first baffle to rotate about the first pivot axis in the first rotation direction, and push the tablet box to the discharge section; Step S10: The first baffle rotates in the second rotation direction under the action of the first elastic force of the first spring, and the second baffle rotates in the first rotation direction under the action of the third elastic force of the third spring, thus completing the reset.
