Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveyor technology, specifically to a protective conveyor for pharmaceutical preparation. Background Technology

[0002] In the preparation of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) pharmaceuticals, it is necessary to transport the filled pharmaceuticals, which requires the use of a conveyor.

[0003] Prior art 1 (application number: 202321872857.3, Chinese patent with application date of 2023-07-15) discloses an intelligent pharmaceutical warehouse conveying device, which relates to the field of warehouse conveying technology. It includes a frame, a conveying mechanism is provided inside the frame, a sorting mechanism is provided on the outer surface of the frame, a bracket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame, a scanner is installed on the outer surface of the bracket, and a battery is installed on the outer surface of the bracket. It can achieve automated sorting by coordinating a sorting mechanism, scanner, battery, and second controller. After the medicine is conveyed to the bottom of the scanner, it undergoes intelligent identification through data scanning. The scanned data is then transmitted to the sorting mechanism via the second controller, guiding the conveyed medicine and automatically conveying different types of medicine to designated channels, thus completing automated sorting and improving sorting efficiency. Furthermore, the sorting mechanism can protect the medicine from falling out during sorting and causing damage. Prior art 1 (application number: 202022949182.0, Chinese patent application date: 2020-12-08) discloses a conveying device for processing TP reagents for wastewater treatment, including a support frame, a frame plate, and a limiting component. The frame plate is installed on top of the support frame, and a conveying mechanism is installed inside the frame plate. The limiting component... The device is detachably mounted on the top of the frame plate. A medicine bottle is placed on top of the conveying mechanism and located inside the limiting assembly. The limiting assembly includes a mounting bracket, a bidirectional screw, and a limiting plate. The U-shaped mounting bracket, with its opening facing downwards, is fixed to the top of the frame plate with screws, and a stabilizing block is vertically fixed in the middle of its inner surface. The bidirectional screw passes horizontally through the mounting bracket and the stabilizing block, protruding from the outside, with a limiting block fixed to one end. By setting up the limiting assembly, the medicine bottle placed on the conveyor belt can be blocked and limited, without affecting the normal conveying of the medicine bottle, while limiting the front and rear sides of the medicine bottle, reducing the probability of the medicine bottle tipping over and affecting its discharge or conveying efficiency. Furthermore, the limiting distance can be adjusted according to the bottle diameter. Although existing technologies can protect medicines during conveying, they only provide initial blocking and anti-fall effects, and cannot ensure that the medicine will not tip over along the conveying direction during conveying, thus having certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protective conveyor for pharmaceutical preparation, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that while current conveyors on the market can protect pharmaceuticals during transport, they can only provide initial blocking and anti-falling effects, and cannot ensure that the pharmaceuticals will not tip over along the transport direction during transport.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a protective conveyor for pharmaceutical preparation, comprising a support frame mounted on the ground via outriggers; a conveyor motor is fixedly mounted on the outer left end of the support frame, and a conveyor roller is rotatably mounted on the support frame, with a conveyor belt mounted on the outer side of the conveyor roller; support plates are fixedly mounted on both the front and rear sides of the support frame, and a transverse movable frame is telescopically connected to the side of the support plate closest to the conveyor belt; an adjusting plate is movably connected to the outer side of the transverse movable frame via a connector, and a threaded connection is threaded through the adjusting plate. The machine is equipped with an adjusting screw, and the end of the adjusting screw is rotatably connected to a guide guard plate. Two guide guard plates are symmetrically arranged about the support frame. Centrifugal adjusting turntables are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the shafts at both ends of the conveying roller. Magnetic components are movably arranged on the centrifugal adjusting turntables, and a second magnetic block is fixedly installed on the transverse movable frame. The transverse movable frame moves and adjusts under the magnetic force of the magnetic components and the second magnetic block. Cleaning components are provided on both the transverse movable frame and the guide guard plate located on the front side. A collection bin is installed on the rear side of the upper end of the support frame.

[0006] Preferably, the transverse movable frame is symmetrically fixedly installed with first guide columns, and the first guide columns are slidably disposed on the support plate, and the transverse movable frame and the support plate form an elastic telescopic structure.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting member includes an adjusting rotating frame uniformly connected between the transverse movable frame and the adjusting plate, and both ends of the adjusting rotating frame are respectively connected to the transverse movable frame and the adjusting plate with torsion springs, and the adjusting plate drives the adjusting rotating frame to rotate elastically when it is pushed.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment plate is symmetrically and telescopically connected with a second guide post, and the end of the second guide post is fixedly connected with a guide protection plate. During the rotation of the adjustment screw, the guide protection plate is driven to move and adjust. At the same time, a buffer pad is fixedly adhered to the outside of the guide protection plate.

[0009] Preferably, the centrifugal adjusting turntable has uniformly opened grooves on its inner side, and the magnetic component includes a first magnetic block slidably connected to the inner side of the groove, and a second spring is connected between the first magnetic block and the inner wall of the groove. At the same time, during the rotation of the centrifugal adjusting turntable, the first magnetic block will elastically slide along the groove under the action of centrifugal force.

[0010] Preferably, after the first magnetic block slides out of the groove, it is positioned at a height corresponding to the second magnetic block, and the magnetic poles on the opposite surfaces of the first and second magnetic blocks are the same, and the transverse movable frame moves close to the support plate under the action of magnetic force.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning component includes an elastic airbag fixedly connected between the support plate and the transverse movable frame, and the elastic airbag is squeezed and stretched during the elastic movement of the transverse movable frame. A pressurized air head is embedded in the guide guard plate located on the front side, and the pressurized air head is connected to the elastic airbag through an air supply pipe. The air outlet of the pressurized air head faces the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0012] Preferably, a collection bin is installed on the upper rear side of the support frame, and the collection bin is positioned correspondingly to the side of the conveyor belt, and the collection bin collects impurities blown off the conveyor belt.

[0013] Preferably, a gap is provided between the lower end of the guide guard plate and the surface of the conveyor belt, and the distance between the two guide guard plates is less than the diameter of the medicine bottle when the conveyor roller stops working, and the distance between the two guide guard plates is greater than the diameter of the medicine bottle during the conveying of the medicine bottle.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the protective conveyor for pharmaceutical preparation can effectively guide and protect the pharmaceutical during the conveying process, and can automatically limit the pharmaceutical after an emergency stop due to machine failure, so as to prevent the pharmaceutical from tipping over and bumping along the conveying direction, thus effectively improving the safety of conveying. The specific details are as follows; 1. It is equipped with an adjusting plate, an adjusting screw, and a guide guard plate. The guide guard plate can limit the movement of the medicine during the delivery process to prevent the medicine from tipping over to the side. By rotating the adjusting screw, the distance between the two guide guard plates can be adjusted, thereby guiding and protecting medicines of different bottle sizes. 2. It is equipped with a centrifugal adjusting turntable, a first magnetic block, and a second magnetic block. As the conveying roller rotates at high speed, it can drive the centrifugal adjusting turntable to rotate synchronously. This causes the first magnetic block on the inner side of the centrifugal adjusting turntable to slide elastically under the action of centrifugal force, thereby popping out of the slide groove. This allows the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block to generate a magnetic force, which causes the transverse movable frame to move elastically under the action of magnetic force. This, in turn, causes the two guide guard plates to move away from each other, ensuring that the medicine bottle can pass between the two guide guard plates.

[0015] Furthermore, when the conveyor roller malfunctions and stops abruptly, the second magnetic block loses its magnetic force, causing the transverse movable frame to reset under the elastic force of the first spring. This, in turn, drives the two guide guard plates to reset simultaneously. At this time, the two guide guard plates can clamp the medicine bottle. Since the distance between the guide guard plates is less than the diameter of the medicine bottle, the adjusting rotating frame will rotate elastically, thereby causing the guide guard plates to automatically lift after clamping the medicine bottle, preventing friction and wear between the bottom of the medicine bottle and the conveyor belt that has not completely stopped.

[0016] 3. Equipped with elastic airbags and pressurized air blowers, as the transverse movable frame moves and resets, it can work with the support plate to stretch and compress the elastic airbags, thereby causing the elastic airbags to blow air into the pressurized air blowers through the air supply pipes, which in turn blow air onto the surface of the conveyor belt, achieving automatic cleaning of the conveyor belt surface.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 and Figures 5-8 As shown, existing protective conveyors for pharmaceutical preparation cannot effectively limit and protect the pharmaceutical bottles after an emergency stop due to equipment failure, making it easy for the pharmaceuticals to tip over in the conveying direction due to inertia. To solve this technical problem, this embodiment discloses the following technical content: A protective conveyor for pharmaceutical preparation includes a support frame 1 mounted on the ground via outriggers. A conveyor motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the left end of the support frame 1, and a conveyor roller 3 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 1. A conveyor belt 4 is mounted on the outer side of the conveyor roller 3. Support plates 5 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the support frame 1. A transverse movable frame 6 is telescopically connected to the side of the support plate 5 closest to the conveyor belt 4. An adjusting plate 10 is movably connected to the outer side of the transverse movable frame 6 through a connector. An adjusting screw 11 is threaded through the adjusting plate 10. A guide guard plate 12 is rotatably connected to the end of the adjusting screw 11. Two guide guard plates 12 are symmetrically arranged about the support frame 1. Centrifugal adjusting turntables 14 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the shafts at both ends of the conveyor roller 3. A magnetic component is movably installed on the centrifugal adjusting turntable 14. A second magnetic block 18 is fixedly installed on the transverse movable frame 6. The transverse movable frame 6 moves and adjusts under the magnetic force of the magnetic component and the second magnetic block 18.

[0021] A first guide post 7 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the transverse movable frame 6, and the first guide post 7 is slidably disposed on the support plate 5. The transverse movable frame 6 and the support plate 5 form an elastic telescopic structure. The connecting part includes an adjusting rotating frame 9 evenly connected between the transverse movable frame 6 and the adjusting plate 10. Both ends of the adjusting rotating frame 9 are connected to the transverse movable frame 6 and the adjusting plate 10 respectively with torsion springs. When the adjusting plate 10 is pushed, it drives the adjusting rotating frame 9 to rotate elastically. A second guide post 13 is symmetrically telescopically connected through the adjusting plate 10. The end of the second guide post 13 is fixedly connected to a guide protection plate 12. During the rotation of the adjusting screw 11, the guide protection plate 12 is driven to move and adjust. At the same time, a buffer pad is fixedly adhered to the outside of the guide protection plate 12.

[0022] The centrifugal adjusting turntable 14 has evenly spaced grooves 15 on its inner side. The magnetic component includes a first magnetic block 16 slidably connected to the inner side of the groove 15. A second spring 17 is connected between the first magnetic block 16 and the inner wall of the groove 15. During the rotation of the centrifugal adjusting turntable 14, the first magnetic block 16 will slide elastically along the groove 15 under the action of centrifugal force. After the first magnetic block 16 slides out of the groove 15, it is set at a height corresponding to the second magnetic block 18. The magnetic poles of the opposite surfaces of the first magnetic block 16 and the second magnetic block 18 are the same. The transverse movable frame 6 moves closer to the support plate 5 under the action of magnetic force. A gap is provided between the lower end of the guide guard plate 12 and the surface of the conveyor belt 4. When the conveyor roller 3 stops working, the distance between the two guide guard plates 12 is less than the diameter of the medicine bottle. During the conveying of the medicine bottle, the distance between the two guide guard plates 12 is greater than the diameter of the medicine bottle.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to transport the medicine, the control of the conveyor motor 2 drives the conveyor roller 3 to rotate, so that the conveyor roller 3 drives the centrifugal adjustment turntable 14 at its end to rotate synchronously. At this time, the first magnetic block 16 on the inner side of the centrifugal adjustment turntable 14 will slide elastically along the slide groove 15 under the action of centrifugal force, so that the first magnetic block 16 moves to the height of the position of the second magnetic block 18, so that the second magnetic block 18 will be subjected to magnetic force, thereby driving the transverse movable frame 6 to move the guide guard plate 12, so that the two guide guard plates 12 move away from each other. Then, the adjustment screw 11 is rotated to adjust the distance between the two guide guard plates 12, so that the distance between the two guide guard plates 12 is greater than the diameter of the medicine bottle, ensuring that the medicine bottle can pass between the two guide guard plates 12. At this time, the medicine bottle is placed on the conveyor belt 4 for transportation. At this time, the guide guard plate 12 can laterally limit the medicine bottle to prevent the medicine bottle from falling. When the equipment malfunctions and stops suddenly, the rotation speed of the centrifugal adjusting turntable 14 decreases, causing the first magnetic block 16 to slide into the chute 15 under the elastic force of the second spring 17. At this time, the transverse movable frame 6 loses its magnetic force, causing it to move and reset under the elastic force of the first spring 8, allowing the two guide guard plates 12 to move closer to each other and clamp the medicine bottle. At the same time, the adjusting rotating frame 9 will rotate elastically, causing the adjusting plate 10 and the guide guard plate 12 to lift after clamping the medicine, thus preventing the bottom of the medicine bottle from rubbing against the conveyor belt 4, which has not completely stopped.

[0024] Example 2: The technical content disclosed in this example is a further improvement based on Example 1. Existing pharmaceutical preparation conveyors are inconvenient to automatically clean the surface of the conveying mechanism during use, thus accelerating wear. To further solve this technical problem, this example discloses the following technical content: Figures 3-4As shown; cleaning components are provided on both the transverse movable frame 6 and the guide guard plate 12 located on the front side, and a collection bin 22 is installed on the upper rear side of the support frame 1.

[0025] The cleaning component includes an elastic airbag 19 fixedly connected between the support plate 5 and the transverse movable frame 6. During the elastic movement of the transverse movable frame 6, the elastic airbag 19 is squeezed and stretched. A pressurized air head 20 is embedded in the guide guard plate 12 located on the front side. The pressurized air head 20 is connected to the elastic airbag 19 through an air supply pipe 21. The air outlet of the pressurized air head 20 faces the surface of the conveyor belt 4. A collection chamber 22 is installed on the upper rear side of the support frame 1. The collection chamber 22 is positioned correspondingly to the side of the conveyor belt 4. The collection chamber 22 collects the impurities blown off the conveyor belt 4.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the transverse movable frame 6 moves and resets, it can work with the support plate 5 to squeeze and stretch the elastic airbag 19. After the elastic airbag 19 is compressed, the air inside it can be transported to the pressurized air blower 20 through the air pipe 21. At the same time, the pressurized air blower 20 blows out under pressure to achieve automatic cleaning of the surface of the conveyor belt 4. The collection bin 22 can collect the falling impurities to avoid contaminating the working area.

[0027] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
