Abstract

The application provides a device for assembling a drop tube body and a drop tube cover. A feeding unit is used to feed the drop tube body to a receiving unit, and the drop tube body is in a horizontal state. When the receiving unit receives the drop tube body, a spacing unit is used to keep the drop tube body in the feeding unit. A material taking and overturning unit and a material taking and assembling unit can move along the front-back direction under the action of a front-back moving driving unit. The material taking and overturning unit is used to obtain the drop tube body in the receiving unit, overturn the drop tube body to make it in a vertical state, and make one end of the drop tube body for assembling the drop tube cover face downward. The material taking and overturning unit places the drop tube body in a vertical state in a glue applying unit. The glue applying unit is used to apply glue to one end of the drop tube body for assembling the drop tube cover, and move the drop tube body forward. The material taking and assembling unit is used to obtain the drop tube body in the glue applying unit, and assemble the drop tube body with the drop tube cover in a storage fixture.

Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of society and the continuous progress of the medical industry, intravenous infusion has become the most common treatment method in daily care. During intravenous infusion, medication needs to be delivered into the body through an infusion set, making the infusion set the most important tool for intravenous infusion.

[0003] Infusion sets typically include a stopper puncturist, precision filter, tubing, drip chamber, flow regulator, and intravenous infusion needle. Currently, in drip chambers, the impact of the dripping medication on the liquid surface generates air bubbles. These bubbles could potentially enter the body with the medication, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a production line to assemble and manufacture defoaming drip chambers. These defoaming drip chambers include a drip chamber body, a two-way tube, a drip chamber cap, and a diverter umbrella, which can effectively eliminate air bubbles generated within the drip chamber, preventing hazards such as air embolism.

[0004] In the defoaming dripping funnel production line, a device is needed to assemble the dripping funnel body and the dripping funnel cap. The dripping funnel body has a two-way pipe already assembled on it, and the dripping funnel cap has a diverter umbrella already assembled on it, so as to realize the assembly of the defoaming dripping funnel.
