[0041] The working principle of the Chinese medicine kit assembly device in this application is:

[0042] After the equipment is started, the bottom box feeding conveyor belt 11 of the bottom box feeding mechanism 1 starts to operate, and the bottom box is transported from the silo to the main conveyor belt 61. Since two groups of bottom box feeding conveyor belts 11 are provided, their symmetrical arrangement ensures that the bottom box can be transported evenly and stably; after the bottom box is sent to the main conveyor belt 61, the limiter 62 will accurately clamp the box body 7 to ensure that the box body 7 maintains a stable position during the transportation process, and transports it to each assembly mechanism one by one; when the box body 7 moves to the needle assembly mechanism 2, the needle feeding assembly 21 sends the needle into the mechanism, and the needle conveying assembly 22 transfers the needle to the needle gripper The needle grabbing component 24 grabs the needle and places it accurately at the predetermined position inside the box body 7 through the needle positioning component 25; at the same time, the upper cover feeding conveyor belt 31 of the upper cover feeding mechanism 3 is also running, and the servo cover assembly mechanism 4 accurately covers the cover body 8 on the upper cover feeding conveyor belt 31 on the box body 7 to complete the packaging of the test kit; after the assembly is completed, the test kit will continue to move through the main conveyor belt 61, and the merging component 52 is responsible for merging multiple test kits onto the unloading conveyor belt 51, and the unloading conveyor belt 51 transports the assembled test kit to the subsequent processing or packaging link.

[0043] The medical test kit assembly equipment of the present application adopts an automated design and can continuously assemble the box body 7, reducing the time and interruptions of manual operation, thereby significantly improving the overall production efficiency; multiple mechanisms such as bottom box loading, needle assembly, and upper cover loading can work in parallel, so that each step can be carried out simultaneously, further shortening the assembly cycle; the cooperation between the main conveyor belt 61 and the limiter 62 allows the test kit to move quickly and stably between each assembly link, optimizing the overall logistics process and preventing delays caused by poor transportation; the needle positioning component 25 and the servo cover assembly mechanism 4 of the equipment can achieve precise grasping and placement, reducing assembly errors caused by human factors, such as the needle is not placed in place or the cover body 8 is not closed; the design of the equipment can adapt to medical test kits of different specifications and types, and flexibly adjust each component, which means that manufacturers can better respond to market changes and improve production capacity.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5In order to reduce the assembly error caused by inaccurate alignment, improve the assembly efficiency, and reduce the assembly cycle of the medical test kit, based on this, in one embodiment, the servo cover assembly mechanism 4 includes a lifting component 41, a rotating component 42 and a suction cup 43, the lifting component 41 includes a first cylinder 411, a connecting plate 412 and a slide rail 413, the first cylinder 411 is used to drive the connecting plate 412 to slide along the slide rail 413 in the vertical direction, the rotating component 42 includes a servo motor 421 and a mounting plate 422, the servo motor 421 is fixed on the connecting plate 412, the servo motor 421 is used to drive the mounting plate 422 to rotate in the horizontal direction, and the suction cup 43 is provided with a plurality of groups and installed on the mounting plate 422, and is used to simultaneously perform the action of sucking the cover body 8 and the action of placing the cover body 8.

[0045] The working principle of the servo cover assembly mechanism 4 in this application is:

[0046] When it is necessary to cover the cover 8, the control system first sends a signal to start the first cylinder 411, and the piston of the first cylinder 411 pushes the connecting plate 412 to slide downward along the slide rail 413, so that the suction cup 43 gradually approaches the cover 8 on the upper cover feeding conveyor belt 31; when the suction cup 43 reaches the top of the cover 8, the servo motor 421 starts to work, and the servo motor 421 drives the rotation of the mounting plate 422 to adjust the suction cup 43 to a precise position to align with the cover 8; the suction cup 43 is in the correct position, and the suction device of the suction cup 43 (usually pneumatic or vacuum mode) is activated to suck the cover 8 and firmly fix it on the suction cup 43; when the suction cup 43 is lifted to a predetermined height, the servo motor 421 starts to drive the mounting plate 422 to rotate horizontally, which makes the cover 8 carried by the suction cup 43 align with the bottom box at an appropriate angle, ready for closing; once the suction cup 43 is aligned with the bottom box, the servo motor 421 stops rotating, and then the release mechanism of the suction cup 43 is activated, at which time part of the suction cup 43 stops suction and gently places the cover 8 on top of the bottom box; at the same time, the other part of the suction cup 43 is still in the activated state, adsorbing the cover 8; after the placement of the cover 8 and the adsorption of the cover 8 are completed at the same time, the suction cup 43 is lifted to a predetermined height, and the servo motor 421 drives the mounting plate 422 to rotate, repeating the action of adsorbing the cover 8 and the action of placing the cover 8.

[0047] The servo cover assembly mechanism 4 can automatically complete the suction, movement and placement operations of the cover body 8, greatly improving the packaging efficiency of the medical test kit. Through the automated process, the processing of multiple cover bodies 8 can be quickly completed, significantly reducing manual intervention and production cycle; the rotating component 42 driven by the servo motor 421 ensures that the suction cup 43 can accurately align the cover body 8 and the box body 7, reducing assembly errors caused by inaccurate alignment; when the first cylinder 411 drives the servo motor 421 to descend, the suction cup 43 can simultaneously complete the suction and placement actions of the cover body 8, further improving the assembly efficiency and reducing the assembly cycle of the medical test kit.

The function of the needle loading vibration disk 211 is to continuously and stably transport the needles. The loading vibration disk 211 can arrange the needles in a specific direction so that they can be transported to the subsequent processing link in an orderly manner, which can reduce the confusion of subsequent assembly; by adopting an automated loading and conveying system, the production efficiency can be significantly improved, and manual intervention can be reduced, thereby speeding up the production rhythm; the needle conveying track 221 is used to accurately transport the needles to the specified position, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and consistency of subsequent processes; the electric eye detector 222 is used to detect the arrival of the needles, and can monitor the conveying status in real time, detect whether there are needles arriving at the specified position, and can provide timely feedback on the operation of the conveying system, avoiding production line stagnation due to lack of materials; linked with the control system of the production line, the electric eye detector 222 can ensure that the next step of operation can only be performed when it is confirmed that the needle is in place, thereby improving the degree of automation and efficiency.

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the process of needle grabbing, if the needle moves randomly on the conveying track, the grabbing assembly may not be able to accurately capture the target needle.

The blocking block 232 is used to control the position of the needle on the needle conveying track 221 to avoid affecting the grabbing process of the needle grabbing assembly 24. The main purpose of the needle blocking assembly 23 is to control the position of the needle on the conveying track through the telescopic block 232; to ensure that the needle is released to the grabbing position only after the grabbing assembly is ready, to prevent mis-grasping or grabbing failure caused by the movement of the needle; at the same time, the blocking block 232 can also be used to block other needles on the needle conveying track 221 to avoid affecting the end needle grabbing process.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3In order to quickly and accurately place the needle into the box body 7 and reduce the risk of needle placement deviation, based on this, in one embodiment, the needle grabbing assembly 24 includes a third cylinder 241 and a clamping jaw 242, the clamping jaw 242 is arranged at the telescopic end of the third cylinder 241, and the third cylinder 241 is used to control the horizontal position of the clamping jaw 242.

The clamp 242 is used to clamp the needle from the needle conveying track 221 and place it in the second positioning hole 256. The needle slides with the second positioning block 253 to the vertical upper side of the first positioning block 252, and falls into the corresponding position of the box body 7 along the second positioning hole 256. The positioning holes on the first positioning block 252 and the second positioning block 253 allow the needle to accurately fall into the specified position through the clamp 242, ensuring that the needle can always maintain the correct alignment during the grasping and placement process, thereby reducing the risk of needle placement deviation; the fixed positioning of the first positioning block 252 and the mobility of the second positioning block 253 allow the system to flexibly adapt to different needle sizes or product standards; the fourth cylinder 254 can drive the second positioning block 253 to slide on the horizontal plane, ensuring that it is vertically aligned with the first positioning block 252, thereby increasing the adaptability of the system; the design of the entire process closely combines grasping and placement. After the clamp 242 clamps the needle from the conveying track, with the help of the sliding of the second positioning block 253 and the alignment of the hole, the needle can be quickly and accurately placed into the box body 7. The automated grasping and placement process significantly improves production efficiency and reduces human intervention.
