Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to automated production and conveying equipment, and in particular to a stacking device for glass medicine bottles. Background Art

[0002] After glass medicine bottles are filled with medicine or oral liquid, they need to be sent to a high-temperature sterilizer for sterilization. The medicine bottles need to be arranged on a sterilization tray to facilitate centralized delivery to the sterilizer. However, due to the small thickness of the bottle wall, glass medicine bottles are easily damaged during transportation. Especially when a large number of glass bottles need to be gathered together, how to accurately count the number of bottles and avoid glass bottles from breaking during movement becomes a problem. Some manufacturers use a manipulator to drive a pneumatic suction cup assembly to grab and stack glass medicine bottles. Although this reduces the breakage rate, the equipment cost is relatively high. Summary of the invention

[0030] A middle conveying chain plate mechanism 19 is provided beside the stacking chain plate mechanism 2 on the frame 1, the upper surface of which is lower than the stacking chain plate mechanism 2 and the conveying direction is perpendicular to the stacking chain plate mechanism 2. A tray for holding medicine bottles is placed on the middle conveying chain plate mechanism 19. Side guards for limiting the sides of medicine bottles on the tray are provided on both sides of the middle conveying chain plate mechanism 19 on the frame 1. A lifting seat 21 and a lifting power device 22 for driving the lifting seat 21 to move are provided on the discharge side of the middle conveying chain plate on the frame 1.

[0035] During operation, the bottle conveyor chain conveys the filled glass medicine bottles to the channel for accommodating a single row of glass medicine bottles between the bottle partition plates 15 on the stacking chain plate mechanism 2. When the number of medicine bottles in the channel reaches the set number, the piston rod of the bottle blocking cylinder 25 extends, and the bottle blocking block 26 thereon presses the subsequent glass medicine bottles to stop bottle feeding. The piston rod of the front blocking cylinder 18 extends downward so that the front baffle 17 blocks the medicine bottles in the channel. The switching cylinder 12 drives the sliding seat 11 to move, switching other channels for accommodating medicine bottles to align with the guide plate group, and the piston rod of the front blocking cylinder 18 retracts upward so that the front baffle 17 opens. The piston rod of the bottle blocking cylinder 25 is retracted, and the bottle conveyor chain continues to feed bottles to the new channel. After the medicine bottles in the channel are full, the piston rod of the bottle blocking cylinder 25 extends out, and the bottle blocking block 26 on it presses the subsequent glass medicine bottles to stop feeding the bottles, and the piston rod of the front blocking cylinder 18 extends downward so that the front baffle 17 blocks the medicine bottles in the channel; the bottle stacking electric actuator drives the bottle stacking rack 3 to move to the bottle pushing plate 10 close to the second bottle pushing seat on the tray placed on the middle conveying chain plate mechanism 19, and then the reset cylinder 14 drives the bottle spacing seat 13 to move up, and arranges the medicine bottles on the bottle pushing plate 10 of the second pushing seat 32, and the bottle stacking electric actuator drives the bottle stacking rack 3 to reset, and the reset cylinder 14 drives the bottle spacing seat 13 to move down and back to its position, and the piston rod of the front blocking cylinder 18 retracts upward so that the front baffle 17 opens;

[0036] Repeat the process of loading medicine bottles into the channel again. After the bottles are full, push the medicine bottles to the previous batch of medicine bottles together. Repeat the bottling and pushing process until the stacked medicine bottles are enough to fill a tray. Adjust the cylinder 9 to drive the bottle pushing plate 10 upward. Then the first bottle pushing power device and the second power bottle pushing device drive the two bottle pushing plates 10 to move to the two sides of the bottle set respectively. Then adjust the cylinder 9 to drive the bottle pushing plate 10 to move downward to surround the two sides of the bottle set. The two electric actuators work together with the middle output chain plate mechanism to drive the tray and the bottle set to move to the tray output chain mechanism 23.

[0037] Then the lifting power device 22 drives the pallet to descend, and the equipment enters the bottling operation of the next pallet. The pallet filled with medicine bottles is stacked on the upper part of the previous pallet; the operation is repeated; finally, the tray discharge chain mechanism 23 is started to send the pallet stack filled with medicine bottles to the next equipment (such as sterilization equipment, etc.).
