This invention also relates to a method for transferring and flipping glycerin suppositories bottles in a high-speed automatic glycerin suppository filling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Glycerin suppositories are a commonly used medication for treating constipation in children, the elderly, and those with weakened constitutions. They are used to lubricate and stimulate the intestinal wall, softening stool and making it easier to pass. Glycerin suppositories are a staple medicine in many households, and the market demand is extremely high. Currently, glycerin suppository filling production lines are becoming increasingly mature, enabling automated mechanized filling production.
[0003] However, the production efficiency of existing automated filling equipment is still unsatisfactory.

[0026] The technical effects that this invention can achieve are:
[0027] This invention can organize multiple inverted cork bottles from a bottle shaker into a neat linear queue via a bottle feeding track. The bottle feeding dial changes the movement trajectory of the cork bottles from linear to circumferential, thereby creating a predetermined fixed distance between adjacent cork bottles. Then, the cork bottles, which are kept vertically inverted, are sequentially delivered to a cork bottle flipping mechanism at fixed time intervals. The cork bottle flipping mechanism flips the cork bottles from an inverted position to an upright position, thus preparing for automated continuous filling. Attached Figure Description

[0069] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the automatic filling equipment for high-speed glycerin enema of the present invention includes a bottle transfer and flipping device for glycerin enema bottles, comprising a first bottle inlet dial 103, a second bottle inlet dial 106, and a flipping mechanism 107. The first bottle inlet dial 103 is provided with a receiving station and a delivery station in the circumferential direction, the second bottle inlet dial 106 is provided with a receiving station and a delivery station in the circumferential direction, and the flipping mechanism 107 is provided with two receiving stations and at least one delivery station in the circumferential direction.
[0070] The receiving station of the first bottle feeding dial 103 serves as the input end of the first bottle feeding dial 103, corresponding to the output end of the first bottle feeding track 101; the input end of the first bottle feeding track 101 is connected to the output end of the bottle-scraping oscillator; the delivery station of the first bottle feeding dial 103 serves as the output end of the first bottle feeding dial 103, coinciding with the first receiving station of the flipping mechanism 107; the first bottle feeding dial 103 can rotate under the drive of its drive shaft 201, and when the first bottle feeding dial 103 rotates, it can drive the bottle suction block 202 on it to move between the receiving station and the delivery station;
[0071] The receiving station of the second bottle feed dial 106 serves as the input end of the second bottle feed dial 106, corresponding to the output end of the second bottle feed track 104; the input end of the second bottle feed track 104 is connected to the output end of another bottle-scraping oscillator; the delivery station of the second bottle feed dial 106 serves as the output end of the second bottle feed dial 106, coinciding with the second receiving station of the flipping mechanism 107; the second bottle feed dial 106 can rotate under the drive of its drive shaft, and when the second bottle feed dial 106 rotates, it can drive the bottle suction block on it to move between the receiving station and the delivery station.
[0072] Preferably, a first bottle-blocking ring 102 is fixedly provided at the output end of the first bottle-infeeding track 101, and the first bottle-blocking ring 102 extends circumferentially along the first bottle-infeeding dial 103;
[0073] A second bottle-blocking ring 105 is fixedly provided at the output end of the second bottle-infeeding track 104, and the second bottle-blocking ring 105 extends circumferentially along the second bottle-infeeding dial 106.
[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the first bottle inlet dial 103 is fixedly connected to the first dial drive shaft 201, and the second bottle inlet dial 106 is fixedly connected to the second dial drive shaft; a first synchronous pulley 120 is fixedly sleeved on the first dial drive shaft 201, and a second synchronous pulley 122 is fixedly sleeved on the second dial drive shaft; the first synchronous pulley 120 is connected to the second synchronous pulley 122 through a synchronous belt 121.
[0075] A driven gear 124 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft of the second dial, and the driven gear 124 meshes with the driving gear 123; the driving gear 123 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft of the flipping mechanism 107; the driving gear 123 is connected to an external power source.
[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the first bottle inlet track 101 includes a linear guide rail, which consists of two guide rods 101-1 arranged in parallel. The distance between the two guide rods 101-1 matches the diameter of the bottle neck, so that the distance between the linear guide rails matches the size of the bottle in an inverted position. The two guide rods 101-1 are fixedly set by a bracket 101-2.
[0077] Two bottle guide plates 101-3 are fixedly installed above the linear guide rail, and the distance between the two bottle guide plates 101-3 matches the diameter of the cork bottle.
[0078] A bottle bottom guide plate 101-4 is fixedly installed above the two bottle body guide plates 101-3. The distance between the bottle bottom guide plate 101-4 and the linear guide rail is matched with the height of the cork bottle.
[0079] When the empty enema bottle enters the first bottle inlet track 101 in an inverted position, the linear guide rail supports the bottle body from below, and the bottom guide plate 101-4 limits the height of the enema bottle from above; the two bottle body guide plates 101-3 make slight adjustments to the posture of the enema bottle from the left and right sides respectively to prevent the enema bottle from tilting in the left and right directions.
[0080] This invention eliminates the need for any power source when moving empty enema bottles from the input end to the output end of the first bottle inlet track 101. Instead, it utilizes a bottle-sorting oscillator to sequentially feed the empty enema bottles into the first bottle inlet track 101. Each subsequent bottle exerts a pushing force on the preceding bottle, thus propelling it forward along the first bottle inlet track 101. During this process, adjacent bottles come into contact with each other, ensuring that subsequent bottles not only exert a pushing force on the preceding bottles but also maintain the same forward and backward orientation as the preceding bottles.
[0081] The present invention constrains the posture of the empty cork bottle on the first bottle inlet track 101 from three dimensions: up and down, left and right, and front and back. Therefore, the posture of the empty cork bottle can be finely adjusted to the ideal vertically downward inverted posture.
[0082] The second bottle inlet track 104 has the same structure as the first bottle inlet track 101.
[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer edge of the first bottle inlet dial 103 has multiple grooves along the circumferential direction. A bottle suction block 202 with a radial drive mechanism is movably arranged in the groove. The bottle suction block 202 can move radially along the first bottle inlet dial 103 within the groove. The bottle suction block 202 is provided with a negative pressure suction nozzle, which is connected to a negative pressure channel. When negative pressure gas is introduced into the negative pressure channel, the empty cork enema bottle can be adsorbed and fixed on the bottle suction block 202 through the negative pressure suction nozzle.
[0084] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the radial drive mechanism includes a roller drive plate 208, with the upper end of the roller drive plate 208 fixedly connected to a bottle suction block connecting plate 207; the bottle suction block connecting plate 207 is fixedly connected to a bottle suction block 202.
[0085] The roller drive plate 208 extends along the axial direction of the drive shaft 201; a roller 209 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the roller drive plate 208; the roller 209 contacts the outer edge of the bottle inlet cam 211, thereby forming a cam mechanism; the roller 209 can move along the outer edge of the bottle inlet cam 211.
[0086] The bottle inlet cam 211 is loosely fitted onto the first dial drive shaft 201 of the first bottle inlet dial 103 so that the rotation center of the bottle inlet cam 211 coincides with the rotation center of the first bottle inlet dial 103, and the bottle inlet cam 211 does not rotate synchronously with the bottle inlet dial 103.
[0087] The radius of the bottle inlet cam 211 corresponding to the delivery station is larger than the radius of other parts, thus forming a protrusion and a non-protrusion on the outer edge of the bottle inlet cam 211; when the roller 209 rotates to the delivery station, the protrusion of the bottle inlet cam 211 can push the roller 209 radially outward, thereby driving the bottle suction block 202 to move outward through the roller drive plate 208;
[0088] Preferably, a smooth transition is formed between the protruding part and the non-protruding part of the bottle inlet cam 211;
[0089] The radius difference between the protruding and non-protruding parts of the bottle inlet cam 211 determines the maximum extension stroke of the bottle suction block 202;
[0090] Preferably, the radius of the protruding part of the bottle inlet cam 211 is 15mm larger than the radius of the non-protruding part, so that the bottle suction block 202 can extend 15mm outward from the bottle inlet dial 103, thereby ensuring the smooth delivery of the cork bottle.
[0091] One end of the guide rod 204 is fixedly connected to the side of the roller drive plate 208; a guide plate 210 is fixedly provided on one side of the roller drive plate 208, and the guide plate 210 has a guide hole; the guide rod 204 is movably inserted through the guide hole of the guide plate 210.
[0092] The top of the guide plate 210 is fixedly connected to the bottle inlet dial 103 via the slide rail fixing plate 203; the guide rod 204 extends radially along the bottle inlet dial 103; the guide rod 204 and the roller drive plate 208 fixedly connected thereto can move radially relative to the guide plate 210; the guide rod 204 and the guide plate 210 form a linear slide rail, and through the relative movement between the guide rod 204 and the guide plate 210, the roller drive plate 208 and the bottle suction block 202 can achieve radial translational movement relative to the bottle inlet dial 103;
[0093] One end of the return spring 205 is fixedly connected to the side of the roller drive plate 208; the guide plate 210 has a spring through hole; the return spring 205 is movably inserted through the spring through hole of the guide plate 210; the other end of the return spring 205 is fixedly connected to the bottle inlet dial 103; the return spring 205 can maintain the contact state between the roller 209 and the bottle inlet cam 211, and provide an inward return force for the roller 209;
[0094] Preferably, the guide plate 210 and the roller drive plate 208 are arranged in parallel.
[0095] Preferably, a downwardly extending neck limiting block 206 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the bottle suction block 202; the neck limiting block 206 is L-shaped, thereby forming an outward support part at the bottom of the neck limiting block 206; when the bottle suction block 202 adsorbs an inverted enema bottle, the bottom support part of the neck limiting block 206 can abut against the neck of the enema bottle, thereby enabling the enema bottle to automatically maintain a vertical posture.
[0096] The second bottle inlet dial 106 has the same structure as the first bottle inlet dial 103.
[0097] The present invention can sequentially receive multiple empty cork soda bottles output from the bottle inlet track by multiple bottle suction blocks 202 distributed along the circumference, and transfer the empty cork soda bottles from the receiving station to the delivery station, so that a set fixed distance is formed between the multiple empty cork soda bottles. Then, the empty cork soda bottles are delivered to the flipping mechanism at the delivery station to prepare for the high-speed automated operation of the next process.
[0098] This invention utilizes the lightweight nature of empty glycerin bottles, using a negative pressure suction nozzle to stably adsorb the empty glycerin bottles into the groove of the bottle inlet dial, and then sequentially transfer them to the next process.
[0099] The present invention organically combines the cam mechanism consisting of roller 209 and bottle inlet cam 211 with the linear slide rail consisting of guide rod 204 and guide plate 210 through roller drive plate 208. At the same time as the bottle inlet dial 103 moves the empty cork soda bottle from the receiving station to the delivery station, the cam mechanism pushes the bottle suction block 202 radially outward along the linear slide rail, thereby preparing for the delivery action of the empty cork soda bottle after it arrives at the delivery station.
[0100] This invention requires only an external power source for the drive shaft of the bottle feeding dial to simultaneously achieve the circumferential and radial movements of the bottle suction block. On one hand, a single power source enabling both circumferential and radial motion trajectories simplifies the structure, facilitating the operation, maintenance, and upkeep of automated equipment, and also saves energy. On the other hand, driven by this power source, the circumferential and radial movements occur simultaneously, allowing the bottle suction block to move radially outward while transporting the bottle from the receiving station to the dispensing station. This prepares the suction block for dispensing during transport, thus improving work efficiency.
[0101] This invention can complete the receiving, transferring, and dispensing of empty cork bottle while maintaining the uniform rotation of the bottle feeding dial, thus ensuring the continuity of the receiving, transferring, and dispensing of cork bottle actions and improving work efficiency.
[0102] like Figure 7 As shown, the flipping mechanism 107 includes a flipping support disk 301, which can rotate around its rotation center under the drive of its drive shaft.
[0103] The tilting support disk 301 is fixedly provided with a plurality of linear bearings 306 extending along the axial direction (i.e., the vertical direction). A rack guide rod 307 is provided inside the linear bearing 306. Through the movable connection of the linear bearing 306, the rack guide rod 307 can move up and down relative to the tilting support disk 301.
[0104] The rack guide rod 307 is fixedly connected to the rack 303 of the flipping unit; under the constraint of the linear bearing 306, the rack guide rod 307 and the rack 303 can only move up and down;
[0105] The rack 303 meshes with the gear 304; the axle of the gear 304 is fixedly connected to the flipping bracket 315.
[0106] like Figure 8 As shown, the flipping unit includes a rack 303 and a gear 304. The axle of the gear 304 is movably connected to the flipping bracket fixing seat 305 through a bearing. The top of the flipping bracket fixing seat 305 is fixedly connected to the flipping support disk 301. The gear 304 can only rotate and cannot move up and down. When the gear 304 rotates, it can drive the flipping bracket 315 to rotate freely relative to the flipping bracket fixing seat 305.
[0107] A rack 303 is fixedly connected to one end of a linkage shaft 309. The middle part of the linkage shaft 309 is movably connected to a guide bracket 308 via a bearing 309. The other end of the linkage shaft 309 is movably connected to a tilting roller 310 via a bearing. The tilting roller 310 is movably disposed in a groove of a tilting cam 302 and can move along the groove of the tilting cam 302. The tilting roller 310 and the tilting cam 302 form a cam mechanism. The linkage shaft 309 extends radially along the tilting support disk 301.
[0108] The top of the guide bracket 308 is fixedly connected to the flip support plate 301; the guide bracket 308 is provided with a guide groove extending along the axial direction, and the bearing 309 in the middle of the linkage shaft 309 is movably disposed in the guide groove of the guide bracket 308; the guide groove of the guide bracket 308 can guide the movement of the linkage shaft 309 and the rack 303 fixedly connected thereto, so that the rack 303 can reciprocate up and down relative to the guide bracket 308.
[0109] Preferably, the guide bracket 308 is arranged parallel to the flip bracket fixing base 305, and the guide bracket 308 is located inside the flip bracket fixing base 305;
[0110] The flipping cam 302 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the flipping support disk 301; specifically, the flipping cam 302 is loosely fitted outside the rotating shaft of the flipping support disk 301, so that the flipping cam 302 remains fixed while the flipping support disk 301 rotates.
[0111] The groove of the flip cam 302 is formed on the outer periphery of the flip cam 302; the groove includes a first groove and a second groove, the first groove and the second groove extend 180° along the circumference of the flip cam 302 respectively; the first groove and the second groove are connected end to end, thereby forming a loop on the outer periphery of the flip cam 302.
[0112] The first groove extends from top to bottom, and when the flipping roller 310 moves along the first groove, it can achieve a downward movement.
[0113] The second groove extends from bottom to top, and when the tilting roller 310 moves along the second groove, it can achieve upward movement.
[0114] When the flipping roller 310 moves one revolution along the groove of the flipping cam 302, it can drive the rack 303 to complete one reciprocating motion.
[0115] The present invention can sequentially receive and deliver multiple empty cork soda bottles through multiple circumferentially distributed flipping brackets 315, thereby forming a set fixed distance between the delivered multiple empty cork soda bottles, so as to prepare for the high-speed automated operation of the next process.
[0116] The flipping roller 310 of this invention moves circumferentially around the flipping cam 302 once, driving the flipping bracket 315 to rotate once; and the flipping roller 310 moves circumferentially around the flipping cam 302 once, driving the rack 303 to complete one up-and-down reciprocating motion; obviously, the stroke of the rack 303 determines the rotation angle of the flipping bracket 315; for each unidirectional stroke completed by the rack 303 (e.g., from the highest point to the lowest point), the flipping bracket 315 rotates exactly 180°. Therefore, in the process of using this invention, as long as the posture of the empty cork bottle delivered by the previous process's cork bottle delivery mechanism is controlled, the posture of the empty cork bottle after flipping can be guaranteed.
[0117] This invention requires only an external power source for the drive shaft of the flipping support disk 301 to simultaneously realize the circumferential movement (i.e., revolution around the rotation center of the flipping support disk 301) and the flipping movement (i.e., rotation around its own rotation center) of the flipping bracket 315. On one hand, a single power source enables both revolution and rotation, simplifying the structure and facilitating the operation, maintenance, and upkeep of automated equipment, while also saving energy. On the other hand, the simultaneous revolution and rotation, driven by this power source, allow the flipping bracket 315 to complete the flipping action of the enema bottle while transporting it from the receiving station to the delivery station, thus improving work efficiency.
[0118] The flipping bracket 315 is equipped with a flipping clamp for holding the cork opener bottle; specifically, as shown in... Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the flipping fixture includes a flipping shaft 318, which passes through the flipping bracket 315; the flipping shaft 318 is arranged along the axial direction of the flipping support plate 301; the flipping shaft 318 is movably connected to the flipping bracket 315 through a bearing;
[0119] A drive gear is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the flipping shaft 318, and the drive gear meshes with the driven gear; the axle of the driven gear is movably connected to the flipping bracket 315 through a bearing;
[0120] The drive gear is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the first gear carrier 314, and the free end of the first gear carrier 314 is fixedly connected to the first gripper 311.
[0121] The driven gear is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the second gear carrier 313, and the free end of the second gear carrier 313 is fixedly connected to the second gripper 312;
[0122] A return spring 320 is provided between the first gear carrier 314 and the second gear carrier 313;
[0123] Specifically, the outer side of the first gear frame 314 is fixedly connected to the first spring fixing member, and the outer side of the second gear frame 313 is fixedly connected to the second spring fixing member;
[0124] The first spring fixing member and the second spring fixing member are respectively connected to the first return spring and the second return spring at their two ends; the first return spring is located above the first gear carrier 314 and the second gear carrier 313, and the second return spring is located below the first gear carrier 314 and the second gear carrier 313.
[0125] The upper end of the flipping shaft 318 is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 316-1, and the first connecting block 316-1 is fixedly connected to the axle of the first clamping roller 317-1; the first connecting block 316-1 makes a circumferential distance between the axle of the first clamping roller 317-1 and the flipping shaft 318.
[0126] The lower end of the flipping shaft 318 is fixedly connected to the second connecting block 316-2, and the second connecting block 316-2 is fixedly connected to the axle of the second clamping roller 317-2; the second connecting block 316-2 makes a circumferential distance between the axle of the second clamping roller 317-2 and the flipping shaft 318.
[0127] The second clamping roller 317-2 located at the lower part contacts the outer edge of the clamping cam 319, thereby forming a cam mechanism; the second clamping roller 317-2 can move along the outer edge of the clamping cam 319;
[0128] The clamping cam 319 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the flipping cam 302, and the clamping cam 319 does not rotate synchronously with the flipping support plate 301;
[0129] The radius of the clamping cam 319 corresponding to the release station is larger than the radius of the clamping station, thereby forming a protrusion and a non-protrusion on the outer edge of the clamping cam 319;
[0130] When the second clamping roller 317-2 rotates to the release position under the drive of the flip support plate 301, the second clamping roller 317-2 contacts the protrusion of the clamping cam 319. The protrusion of the clamping cam 319 can push the second clamping roller 317-2 radially outward, so that the second connecting block 316-2 and the flip shaft 318 rotate around the rotation center of the flip shaft 318 by an angle.
[0131] The rotation of the flip shaft 318 causes the drive gear to rotate through an angle and causes the driven gear to rotate in the opposite direction; the drive gear causes the first gear frame 314 to rotate around its fixed end, and the driven gear causes the second gear frame 313 to rotate in the opposite direction around its fixed end, thereby forming an angle between the first gear frame 314 and the second gear frame 313, causing the first gripper 311 and the second gripper 312 to move away from each other, thus realizing the opening action of the clamp;
[0132] When the second clamping roller 317-2 rotates to the clamping position under the drive of the flipping support plate 301, the second clamping roller 317-2 contacts the non-protruding part of the clamping cam 319, and the clamping cam 319 can no longer provide rotational force to the second connecting block 316-2 and the flipping shaft 318; at this time, the return spring 320 drives the first gear carrier 314 and the second gear carrier 313 to return to their original positions, so that the first jaw 311 and the second jaw 312 approach each other, thereby realizing the closing action of the clamp;
[0133] When the first gripper 311 and the second gripper 312 are closed, the clamping opening formed matches the neck of the enema bottle, thereby enabling the enema bottle to be clamped.
[0134] Preferably, a smooth transition is formed between the protruding part and the non-protruding part of the clamping cam 319;
[0135] The radius difference between the protruding and non-protruding parts of the clamping cam 319 determines the maximum opening distance of the first jaw 311 and the second jaw 312.
[0136] The flipping clamp of the present invention requires no external air or power source. Instead, it utilizes the rotation of the flipping support plate 301 to drive the clamp rollers to move circumferentially relative to the clamp cam 319, which in turn drives the gear pair connected to the flipping shaft to rotate through an angle, thereby forming an angle between the first gear carrier 314 and the second gear carrier 313, thus realizing the opening action of the flipping clamp. Therefore, the clamping action of the present invention can be realized without any control system.
[0137] This invention only requires an external power source for the drive shaft of the flip support plate 301 to simultaneously realize the circumferential movement (i.e., revolution around the rotation center of the flip support plate 301) and the flipping movement (i.e., rotation around its own rotation center), and simultaneously realize the opening and closing of the clamp. Therefore, no additional driving force is required for the clamp, which not only simplifies the mechanism but also enables precise control of the clamping state of the clamp at different positions on the flip support plate 301.
[0138] Preferably, the highest and lowest parts of the groove of the flip cam 302 extend circumferentially to form the highest groove section and the lowest groove section of the flip cam 302.
[0139] The highest groove section of the flipping cam 302 corresponds to the first clamping cam and the second clamping cam; the first clamping cam and the second clamping cam are fixedly disposed on the outside of the highest groove section of the flipping cam 302, and the first clamping cam and the second clamping cam are distributed circumferentially along the flipping cam 302; the lowest groove section of the flipping cam 302 corresponds to the third clamping cam, and the third clamping cam is fixedly disposed on the outside of the lowest groove section of the flipping cam 302; thus, the highest groove section of the flipping cam 302 serves as the receiving station; the lowest groove section of the flipping cam 302 serves as the delivery station. The first clamping cam is located at the first receiving station of the flipping mechanism 107, and the second clamping cam is located at the second receiving station of the flipping mechanism 107.
[0140] Alternatively, the lowest groove section of the flip cam 302 can be used as the receiving station, and the highest groove section of the flip cam 302 can be used as the delivery station. In this case, the lowest groove section of the flip cam 302 corresponds to the first clamping cam and the second clamping cam; the highest groove section of the flip cam 302 corresponds to the third clamping cam.
[0141] The working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0142] The first step involves the first bottle inlet track 101 and the second bottle inlet track 104 finely adjusting the posture of multiple cork bottles, so that the multiple cork bottles are arranged into two neat rows and form a linear motion trajectory.
[0143] The bottle sorting oscillator organizes the messy empty cork soda bottles; the two bottle sorting oscillators feed the empty cork soda bottles into the input ends of the first bottle inlet track 101 and the second bottle inlet track 104 respectively from the output end in an almost inverted position; the linear guide rail of the bottle inlet track supports the body of the empty cork soda bottles from below; as the empty cork soda bottles are continuously fed in, the subsequent empty cork soda bottles will push the previous empty cork soda bottles forward.
[0144] A portion of the empty enema bottles move from the input end of the first bottle inlet track 101 to the output end of the first bottle inlet track 101, while another portion of the empty enema bottles move from the input end of the second bottle inlet track 104 to the output end of the second bottle inlet track 104, thereby realizing the linear transfer of the two pairs of enema bottles.
[0145] As the enema bottles move forward in a line along the linear guides of the first inlet track 101 and the second inlet track 104, the two bottle body guide plates 101-3 and the bottle bottom guide plate 101-4 simultaneously make minor adjustments to the posture of the multiple enema bottles from the sides and top, respectively, so that the enema bottles maintain a vertical inverted posture. Since the bottle body guide plate 101-3 and the bottle bottom guide plate 101-4 simultaneously make minor adjustments to the posture of the multiple enema bottles, the posture of the multiple enema bottles can be kept consistent.
[0146] The second step involves the first bottle-feeding dial 103 and the second bottle-feeding dial 106 changing the movement trajectory of the two sets of decanter bottles from linear to circumferential.
[0147] Driven by an external power source, the driving gear 123 drives the driven gear 124, which meshes with it, to rotate at a constant speed. The driven gear 124 drives the second bottle inlet dial 106 and the second synchronous pulley 122 to rotate synchronously through the second dial drive shaft. The second synchronous pulley 122 drives the first synchronous pulley 120 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 121. The first synchronous pulley 120 drives the first bottle inlet dial 103 to rotate synchronously through the first dial drive shaft 201, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106.
[0148] At the same time, the drive gear 123 drives the rotating support disk 301 to rotate through the drive shaft of the rotating support disk 107, thereby realizing the synchronous and uniform rotation of the first bottle feeding dial 103 and the second bottle feeding dial 106 with the rotating support disk 301.
[0149] During the synchronous rotation of the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106, when a bottle suction block 202 on the first bottle inlet dial 103 passes its receiving station (i.e., the output end of the first bottle inlet track 101) during rotation, the negative pressure suction nozzle of the bottle suction block 202 uses negative pressure to suck up the inverted cork bottle at the output end of the first bottle inlet track 101, thereby realizing the transfer of the cork bottle from the first bottle inlet track 101 to the first bottle inlet dial 103.
[0150] The first bottle-blocking ring 102, located at the output end of the first bottle inlet track 101, can prevent the decanter bottle from deforming during the handover process between the first bottle inlet track 101 and the first bottle inlet dial 103.
[0151] At the same time, when a bottle suction block 202 on the second bottle inlet dial 106 passes its receiving station (i.e., the output end of the second bottle inlet track 104) during rotation, the negative pressure suction nozzle of the bottle suction block 202 sucks the open bottle from the output end of the second bottle inlet track 104 through negative pressure, thereby realizing the transfer of the open bottle from the second bottle inlet track 104 to the second bottle inlet dial 106.
[0152] The first bottle-feeding dial 103 and the second bottle-feeding dial 106 continue to rotate, carrying the empty enema bottle, thereby changing the movement trajectory of the enema bottle from linear to circumferential.
[0153] The third step involves the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106 transporting the enema bottle from the receiving station to the delivery station, respectively.
[0154] During rotation, the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106 drive their bottle suction blocks 202 and the empty cork soda bottles they have suctioned from the receiving station to the delivery station, thereby completing the transfer of the empty cork soda bottles. While the bottle suction block 202 rotates relative to the bottle inlet cam 211, the roller 209 fixedly connected to the bottle suction block 202 moves along the outer edge of the bottle inlet cam 211. During the transfer of the empty cork soda bottles, the contact portion between the roller 209 of the bottle suction block 202 and the bottle inlet cam 211 gradually transitions from a non-protruding portion to a protruding portion. The bottle inlet cam 211 pushes the roller 209 radially outward. The roller 209 drives the roller drive plate 208 and the guide rod 204 to move outward, thereby driving the bottle suction block 202 to move radially outward along the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106.
[0155] When the bottle suction blocks 202 of the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106 enter their respective delivery stations, the bottle suction blocks 202 extend outward from the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106 respectively.
[0156] In the fourth step, the two flipping brackets 315 of the flipping mechanism 107 respectively receive the inverted decanter bottles from the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106.
[0157] During the uniform rotation of the flip support plate 301, the flip support plate 301 drives the flip bracket 315 on it to move in the circumferential direction.
[0158] When a certain flipping bracket 315 enters its receiving position as it rotates with the flipping support plate 301, the second clamping roller 317-2 of the flipping bracket 315 moves along the outer edge of the first clamping cam to its release position, causing the clamp to open; the flipping support plate 301 continues to rotate, and when the second clamping roller 317-2 of the flipping bracket 315 moves along the outer edge of the first clamping cam to its clamping position, the return spring 320 causes the clamp to close, thereby completing one opening and closing action; the clamp clamps the inverted cork bottle attracted by the bottle suction block 202 of the first bottle feeding dial 103 in the extended state, thereby completing the reception of one empty cork bottle;
[0159] Meanwhile, another flipping bracket 315 enters another receiving station. The second clamping roller 317-2 of the flipping bracket 315 moves along the outer edge of the second clamping cam to its release station, causing the clamp to open. The flipping support plate 301 continues to rotate. When the second clamping roller 317-2 of the flipping bracket 315 moves along the outer edge of the second clamping cam to its clamping station, the return spring 320 causes the clamp to close, thus completing one opening and closing action. The clamp holds the inverted cork bottle attracted by the bottle suction block 202 of the second bottle feeding dial 106 in the extended state, thus completing the reception of another empty cork bottle.
[0160] In the fifth step, the multiple flipping brackets 315 of the flipping mechanism 107 flip in sequence to flip the empty cork bottle from an inverted position to an upright position.
[0161] When the flipping bracket 315 is in the receiving position, the flipping roller 310 is located in the highest groove section of the flipping cam 302, the linkage shaft 309 is located at the high point of the guide groove of the guide bracket 308, and the gear 304 meshes with the lower end of the rack 303.
[0162] The flip support plate 301 continues to rotate, and the flip support plate 301 drives the flip bracket 315 and the empty cork soda bottle it holds to move 180° around the circumference of the flip support plate 301, so that the flip bracket 315 moves from the receiving station to the delivery station, thereby completing the transfer of the empty cork soda bottle.
[0163] During the transfer of the empty cork soda bottle, due to the rotation of the flip support plate 301, the flip roller 310 connected to the flip bracket 315 moves along the first groove of the flip cam 302. The flip roller 310 drives the rack 303 to move downward along the guide groove of the guide bracket 308 through the linkage shaft 309. The rack 303 drives the rack guide rod 307 to move downward relative to the flip support plate 301. At the same time, the movement of the rack 303 drives the gear 304 meshing with it to rotate 180°. The gear 304 drives the flip bracket 315 to rotate 180°, thereby changing the empty cork soda bottle held by it from an inverted position to an upright position, thus completing the flipping of the empty cork soda bottle.
[0164] In the sixth step, the first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106 continue to transport the subsequent decongestant bottles from the receiving station to the delivery station and deliver them to the flipping mechanism 107 in sequence, so as to realize the continuous transfer of decongestant bottles.
[0165] The first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106 continue to rotate. When the bottle suction block 202 leaves its delivery station, the roller 209 of the bottle suction block 202 contacts the non-protruding part of the bottle inlet cam 211, and the bottle inlet cam 211 loses its outward pushing force on the roller 209. At the same time, the return spring 205 drives the roller drive plate 208 and the guide rod 204 to move inward, thereby driving the bottle suction block 202 to move radially inward, so that the bottle suction block 202 returns to its original position. The first bottle inlet dial 103 and the second bottle inlet dial 106 continue to rotate. When the bottle suction block 202 passes its receiving station again, the next transfer of the cork-opening bottles is carried out. This process is repeated continuously, thereby continuously transferring the two batches of cork-opening bottles that are continuously transported from the first bottle inlet track 101 and the second bottle inlet track 104.
[0166] Step 7: The flipping mechanism 107 delivers the flipped empty enema bottle to the next process.
[0167] When the flipping bracket 315 rotates 180°, the first clamping roller 317-1, which was originally located at the upper part, is rotated to the lower part; the flipping support plate 301 continues to rotate; when the flipping bracket 315 enters the delivery position as it rotates with the flipping support plate 301, the flipping roller 310 is located in the lowest groove section of the flipping cam 302; the first clamping roller 317-1 of the flipping bracket 315 moves along the outer edge of the third clamping cam to its release position, causing the clamp to open; the flipping support plate 301 continues to rotate, and when the first clamping roller 317-1 of the flipping bracket 315 moves along the outer edge of the third clamping cam to its clamping position, the return spring 320 causes the clamp to close, thereby completing one opening and closing action; the clamp 311 releases its grip on the empty cork bottle, thereby completing the delivery of the empty cork bottle;
[0168] Since the empty enema bottle is in an upright position at the delivery station, the enema bottle flipping unit of the present invention can perform a filling operation on the empty enema bottle in the next process after the empty enema bottle is delivered at the delivery station.
[0169] In the eighth step, the multiple flipping brackets 315 of the flipping mechanism 107 sequentially receive the inverted cork bottle from the first bottle feed dial 103 and the second bottle feed dial 106, thereby realizing the continuous flipping of the cork bottle.
[0170] The flip support plate 301 continues to rotate; when the flip bracket 315 leaves the delivery station, the flip roller 310 connected to the flip bracket 315 moves along the second groove of the flip cam 302. The flip roller 310 drives the rack 303 to move upward along the guide groove of the guide bracket 308 through the linkage shaft 309. The rack 303 drives the rack guide rod 307 to move upward relative to the flip support plate 301. At the same time, the rack 303 drives the gear 304 meshing with it to rotate 180°. The gear 304 drives the flip bracket 315 to rotate 180°, thereby realizing the reset of the flip bracket 315 and its fixture.
[0171] The flip support plate 301 rotates continuously. When the flip bracket 315 passes its receiving station again, the next transfer of the enema bottle is carried out. This process is repeated to continuously transfer the two teams of enema bottles that are continuously fed by the first bottle feeder 103 and the second bottle feeder 106, thereby realizing the continuous flipping of the enema bottles.
[0172] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.

7. A method for transferring and flipping enema bottles in a high-speed automatic enema filling device, characterized in that, The enema bottle transfer and turning device of the high-speed automatic enema filling equipment according to any one of claims 1-6 includes the following steps: The first step involves the first and second bottle-feeding tracks fine-tuning the posture of multiple cork bottles, arranging them into two neat rows and forming a linear motion trajectory. The second step involves the first and second bottle-feeding dials changing the movement trajectories of the two teams of decanter bottles from linear to circumferential. The third step involves the first and second bottle infeeding dials transporting the enema bottles from the receiving station to the delivery station, while the bottle suction blocks move outward along the radial direction of the first and second bottle infeeding dials. Fourth step, the two flipping brackets of the flipping mechanism respectively receive the inverted cork bottles from the first bottle inlet dial and the second bottle inlet dial; The fifth step involves the flipping mechanism's multiple flipping brackets flipping sequentially to turn the empty cork bottle from an inverted position to an upright position. The sixth step involves the first and second bottle-feeding dials transporting subsequent decongestant bottles from the receiving station to the delivery station and sequentially handing them over to the flipping mechanism, thus achieving continuous transfer of decongestant bottles. Step 7: The flipping mechanism delivers the flipped empty enema bottle to the next process. In the eighth step, the multiple flipping supports of the flipping mechanism sequentially receive the inverted cork bottles from the first and second inlet dials, thereby achieving continuous flipping of the cork bottles.
