Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automation, in particular to an acupuncture needle tube loading machine. Background Art

[0002] There are two types of traditional acupuncture needle packaging. One is to directly place the acupuncture needle in a plastic bag, sterilize it, and then seal it, which is simple packaging; the other is to place the acupuncture needle in a plastic tube, sterilize it, and then package it in a packaging bag, which is tube-needle packaging. The first simple packaging structure is characterized by simple packaging and the lowest cost, but the biggest problem is poor safety and reliability. During transportation, acupuncture needles can easily pierce the packaging bag, causing the sterilization to fail, and it is also easy to cause damage to the needle tip. Therefore, the current mainstream packaging method is the second one.

[0003] The traditional tube needle packaging is one tube for one needle. However, in traditional Chinese acupuncture treatment, the most common method is the five-needle method, which means that five needles are needed at a time. In this case, the conventional one-needle-one-tube packaging needs to be opened repeatedly during use, which is cumbersome to use, and also takes up packaging while increasing the amount of medical waste. For this reason, some medical institutions use five-needle-one-tube packaging.

[0004] The five-needle-one-tube packaging requires five needles to be inserted into the tube at the same time. The existing processing method is manual filling, which is not only inefficient but also has a high error rate in manual counting. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The present invention provides an acupuncture needle tube loading machine, which realizes the automatic processing of loading five acupuncture needles into one tube. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a cabinet 1, a turntable 2 arranged on the cabinet, a needle tube feeding mechanism 3, a hot-scalding mechanism 4, a needle loading mechanism 5, a tube loading mechanism 6 and a feeding mechanism 7 arranged around the turntable, and carriers 8 are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference of the turntable. The needle tube feeding mechanism uses its own weight to make empty tubes fall into the needle tube carriers of the feeding assembly one by one, and move them to the feeding position. The empty tubes are grabbed and sent to the carrier 8 by a grabbing mechanism 9 arranged on the turntable. The hot-scalding mechanism scalds the tube mouth of the empty tube to remove the burrs that affect the subsequent tube loading. The needle loading mechanism Two sets of relatively rotating upper needle wheels are combined with a lower needle support plate to make the needle bodies fall one by one into the needle loading carrier below. Five needle bodies are loaded in each slot of the needle loading carrier. The tube loading mechanism pushes the five needle bodies into the opposite empty tube to realize the loading of five needles into one tube. A grabbing mechanism is also provided at the unloading mechanism to grab the loaded needle tube and send it to the unloading mechanism for unloading processing. Detection mechanisms (not shown in the figure) can be added around the turntable on the mechanism as needed to detect whether the tube loading is qualified, whether the number of needles in the tube is qualified, etc.

[0019] Specifically, the turntable is driven by a servo motor at the bottom, so that the turntable rotates at a certain angle. At the same time, a mounting plate 21 is provided above the turntable. The mounting plate does not rotate with the turntable. It is used to fix processing mechanisms such as grasping mechanisms and hot-stamping mechanisms. A plurality of carriers are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference of the turntable, and each time the turntable rotates a station, the carrier is precisely located at the processing point. A plurality of arc grooves 87 are provided on the surface of the carrier, which can realize the loading of multiple needle tubes at one time, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0020] The needle tube feeding mechanism structure is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes a loading component and a feeding component, wherein the loading component has a storage hopper 31, a wheel disc 32, a lifting slide 33 and a material discharge guide plate 34. The storage hopper is installed on the cabinet through the lifting slide to achieve up and down position adjustment. The wheel disc is arranged directly below the storage hopper, and an arc-shaped groove for accommodating needle tubes is arranged on the surface of the wheel disc. The empty tubes stacked in the storage hopper enter the arc-shaped groove one by one and move downward with the rotation of the wheel disc. The material discharge guide plate is arranged directly below the wheel disc, and two guide plates are arranged oppositely to form a material discharge chute. When the wheel rotates to the discharge guide plate, the empty pipe automatically falls from the discharge chute. An arc-shaped blocking block 35 is provided between the storage hopper and the discharge guide plate to fit one side of the wheel, so as to achieve side blocking before the empty pipe falls. The feeding assembly includes a transition carrier 36 and a transverse slide 37. The transverse slide drives the transition carrier to switch between the bottom of the discharge guide plate and the bottom of the grabbing mechanism to achieve feeding. A plurality of arc-shaped grooves are provided on the surface of the transition carrier, and the number of the arc-shaped grooves is consistent with the number of the arc-shaped grooves on the carrier, so as to achieve synchronous grabbing and transferring of multiple empty pipes.

[0021] When unloading, the arc groove on the transition carrier is located directly below the unloading guide plate. The lifting slide descends so that the lower end surface of the unloading guide plate is close to the transition carrier for unloading of empty tubes. For each next tube, the transverse slide moves one position so that the next arc groove is opposite to the unloading guide plate. At the same time, the turntable rotates one station to unload the next empty tube.

[0022] The grabbing mechanism realizes the loading and unloading of the needle tube in the carrier on the turntable, and its structure is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 91, a mounting seat 92, a parallel clamp 93 and a multi-station claw head 94. The mounting seat is fixed on the mounting frame in conjunction with a telescopic cylinder 95 and a slide rail 96 to achieve forward and backward movement. The parallel clamp is fixed on the front end surface of the mounting seat in conjunction with a second lifting slide 97 to achieve up and down movement. The multi-station claw head is assembled on the parallel clamp, which is controlled by the parallel clamp to achieve one-time clamping of multiple needle tubes. After clamping the needle tube, the second lifting slide rises, and the telescopic cylinder works at the same time to achieve the transfer operation.

[0023] The needle tube has burrs at the tube mouth, which will affect the subsequent tube installation. Therefore, it needs to be processed by a hot-scalding mechanism before tube installation. The hot-scalding mechanism has a structure as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, it includes a pressing block 41 for pressing the needle tube from above and a hot stamping module 42 for hot stamping the tube mouth. The pressing block is fixed on the mounting plate in conjunction with a lifting assembly 43 to realize the lifting and lowering control of the pressing block, so as to press the needle tube during hot stamping to prevent the needle tube from shifting forward and backward. The hot stamping module is fixed on the cabinet in conjunction with a hot stamping transverse movement module 44, and a plurality of conical hot stamping heads 45 are provided at the front end of the hot stamping module. The conical hot stamping heads are inserted into the tube mouth of the needle tube through the control of the hot stamping transverse movement module, thereby realizing hot stamping and burring removal.

[0024] The needle loading mechanism realizes the counting and loading of the needle body, and its structure is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes a material trough 51 for loading needle bodies, a first upper needle wheel 52 and a second upper needle wheel 53 which are arranged at one end of the material trough and rotate relatively, a lower needle support plate 54 located between the first upper needle wheel and the second upper needle wheel, a needle loading carrier 55 located below the lower needle support plate, and a slide cylinder 56 which drives the needle loading carrier to move horizontally. The needle bodies are allowed to fall into the needle loading carrier one by one by means of the first and second upper needle wheels which are arranged relatively and rotate relatively. A plurality of arc groove stations for accommodating needle bodies are provided on the surface of the needle loading carrier, and five needle bodies are accommodated in each arc groove station.

[0025] The material trough is conveyed by a belt, and the needle bodies are stacked above the conveyor belt, and the needle bodies are dispersedly transferred to the first upper needle wheel through the belt. The surface of the first upper needle wheel is provided with a first upper needle groove 57. As the first upper needle wheel rotates, the needle bodies at the front end of the belt enter the first upper needle groove and are transferred to the lower needle support plate as the first upper needle wheel rotates. Since the lower needle support plate is inclined, the side close to the second upper needle wheel is low, so the needle bodies on the lower needle support plate can roll down to the second upper needle wheel, and the high side of the lower needle support plate is provided with an extension The extending structure can lead the needle body in the first upper needle groove out into the lower needle support plate. The surface of the second upper needle wheel is provided with a second upper needle groove 58 which can accommodate only one needle body. As the second upper needle wheel rotates, the needle body entering the second upper needle groove rotates with the second upper needle wheel and falls from the drop-out port below to the needle loading carrier directly below. A photoelectric sensor is provided at the drop-out port for counting. Every time five needle bodies fall, the carrier moves one position, so that the next group of needle bodies falls into another arc-shaped workstation on the needle loading carrier.

[0026] In this structure, the first upper needle wheel is used to realize the dispersed loading of the needle bodies in the material trough. The first upper needle groove is large in size, and several needle bodies can be loaded at one time. While avoiding the accumulation of needle bodies on the lower needle support plate, it can ensure that there are always needle bodies on the lower needle support plate, and will not affect the loading of the second upper needle wheel. By controlling the size of the second upper needle groove to ensure that only one needle body enters at a time, combined with the photoelectric sensor at the drop-off port, accurate counting can be achieved to ensure that five needle bodies are loaded on each tube during subsequent tube loading.

[0027] In order to improve efficiency, the needle loading mechanism is divided into two groups, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the tube loading mechanism. The left-right alternation is adopted to avoid waiting time and improve the needle loading efficiency, thereby ensuring the rhythm and speed of the entire processing.

[0028] The needle body is composed of a needle tip and a needle handle. Since the needle tip has a small diameter and the needle handle has a large diameter, there is a step difference at the junction of the needle body and the needle handle. Therefore, when the needle tip is inserted into the needle tube, the needle tip enters the needle tube first, but the junction is easy to get stuck at the tube mouth and cannot be inserted. For this reason, the tube loading mechanism of the present application adopts a combination of pushing and rubbing the tube to perform the tube loading operation. The specific structure is as follows Figure 6-7As shown, it includes a material blocking and limiting component 61 located at the rear of the carrier to limit the rear end of the needle tube, a tube rolling component 62 and a needle loading introduction component 63 located above the carrier, and a needle pushing component 64 located at the rear of the needle loading carrier, wherein the material blocking and limiting component is composed of a material blocking cylinder 611, a material blocking plate 612 and a limiting block 613, wherein the material blocking cylinder is fixed on the mounting plate, and a material blocking plate is equipped at its telescopic end, and there are multiple limiting blocks, which are installed on the bottom surface of the material blocking plate, and the limiting of the rear end of the needle tube is achieved by controlling the material blocking cylinder, and the number of the limiting blocks is consistent with the number of arc grooves on the carrier, so that each arc groove corresponds to a limiting block, and the limiting block is L-shaped, and the vertical surface is used to block the rear end surface of the needle tube, and the horizontal surface is an arc surface, so as to block the side surface of the rear end of the needle tube to prevent the needle tube from shifting forward, backward, left and right when the tube is loaded and rolled.

[0029] The tube rolling assembly and the needle loading introduction assembly are fixed at the lower end of the lifting cylinder 65, and are controlled by the lifting cylinder to move downward to fit the needle tube surface. The tube rolling assembly includes a tube rolling transverse sliding platform 621 and a tube rolling pressure block 622. The tube rolling pressure block fits the needle tube surface and is controlled by the tube rolling transverse sliding platform to move left and right, thereby driving the needle tube to rotate back and forth to simulate the manual tube rolling operation. The needle loading introduction assembly is a guide plate, and a plurality of arc guide grooves 631 are spaced apart on its lower end surface, and the outer end surface of the arc guide groove is a conical expansion The arc-shaped guide groove is located just above the arc-shaped groove of the carrier, and the lifting cylinder drives the guide plate to move downward. The arc-shaped guide groove and the arc-shaped groove on the carrier are matched to form an annular groove, and the needle tube is located in the annular groove, and the front end of the arc-shaped groove of the carrier is also tapered. This tapered expansion structure can guide the needle body when it penetrates, ensuring that the needle body enters the needle tube smoothly. As the needle body continues to move forward, the tube rubbing assembly rubs the needle tube back and forth, so that the needle tube and the needle body form a relative rotation guide, thereby ensuring that the needle handle can slowly enter the needle tube.

[0030] The needle pusher assembly includes a needle pusher plate 641 and a needle pusher slide 642. The needle pusher plate is assembled on the slider of the needle pusher slide through a fixed seat 643. The lower end surface of the needle pusher plate has a raised needle pusher block 644. When the needle pusher slide drives the needle pusher plate to move forward, the needle pusher block enters the arc-shaped work station of the needle loading carrier and pushes the needle body forward from the rear.

[0031] The entire needle installation process includes three stages. The first stage is the entry of the needle tip. At this time, the expansion structure in the needle installation introduction assembly realizes the introduction of the needle tip, so that the five needle tips can be smoothly inserted into the needle tube. The second stage is the entry of the needle handle. Since there is a step difference between the needle tip and the needle handle, the needle tube is rubbed back and forth by using the tube rubbing assembly. At the same time, the needle body continues to move forward, and the relative rotation guide is used to make the front end of the needle handle smoothly enter the needle tube. The third stage is the complete entry of the needle handle, which only requires the cooperation of the needle pushing assembly and the material blocking and limiting assembly.

[0032] The needle tube equipped with the needle body is transferred to the unloading mechanism through the grabbing mechanism for unloading. The unloading mechanism includes an unloading conveyor belt 71 and an unloading trough 72 located at the rear end of the unloading conveyor belt.

[0033] The present invention discloses an acupuncture needle tube loading machine, which realizes the automatic tube threading operation of five needles and one tube. It can not only realize the automatic loading and unloading of the needle tube and the needle body, but also can thread the tube accurately and efficiently, improve the efficiency and accurately count, and ensure the tube loading quality.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
