Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medicine bottle overturning, in particular to a bottle overturning device in a medicine conveying process. Background Art

[0002] In the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, clean medicine bottles are placed on the conveyor belt in sequence by the bottle unscrambler, which then transports the medicine bottles to the filling machine, which fills the medicine bottles with medicines. When the bottle unscrambler places the medicine bottles on the conveyor belt, some of the medicine bottles are in an inverted state. These inverted medicine bottles need to be turned over by a flipping device. However, the operation of flipping the medicine bottles during the conveying process will delay the conveying of other upright medicine bottles, affecting the conveying efficiency of the medicine bottles. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a bottle turning device in the pharmaceutical conveying process, which can transfer the inverted medicine bottles on the main conveying component to the auxiliary conveying component, and then turn the inverted medicine bottles over on the auxiliary conveying component, and then return the turned medicine bottles to the main conveying component. Turning over the medicine bottles does not delay the transmission of the upright medicine bottles, and the transmission efficiency of the medicine bottles is high. The turning over of the medicine bottles is stable and efficient, and the medicine bottles are not easy to fall, tip over or be damaged, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a bottle turning device in the pharmaceutical delivery process, comprising a medicine bottle delivery and sorting mechanism, the medicine bottle delivery and sorting mechanism comprising a main delivery component and an auxiliary delivery component, the auxiliary delivery component is located at the front side of the main delivery component, the front side of the main delivery component is provided with two delivery openings, the two delivery openings are respectively connected to the two ends of the auxiliary delivery component through two transfer components, and further comprising: The bottle height adaptation lifting mechanism comprises a lifting control assembly, a bracket and a lifting adjustment plate. Two lifting control assemblies are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the middle part of the auxiliary conveying assembly. Two brackets are respectively installed on the tops of the two lifting control assemblies. Two lifting adjustment plates are respectively installed on the two brackets. The medicine bottle flipping actuator is installed between the two lifting adjustment plates, and a medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism is installed on the medicine bottle flipping actuator.

[0005] The external bottle sorter places the medicine bottles on the right end of the main conveying assembly in turn. The main conveying assembly conveys the medicine bottles from right to left. The inverted medicine bottles are sorted out and sent to the transfer assembly on the right from the conveying opening on the right. With the push of the inverted medicine bottles on the rear side, the inverted medicine bottles are finally transferred to the right end of the auxiliary conveying assembly. The auxiliary conveying assembly conveys the inverted medicine bottles from right to left. The lifting control assembly is used to drive the bracket to move up and down, thereby driving the medicine bottle flipping actuator to move up and down through two lifting adjustment plates to adapt to medicine bottles of different heights. The medicine bottles will encounter the medicine bottle flipping actuator during the process of being conveyed to the left on the auxiliary conveying assembly. The auxiliary medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism clamps the middle part of the medicine bottle, and then the medicine bottle flipping actuator drives the medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism to flip the medicine bottle 180 degrees, and puts the inverted medicine bottle upright on the auxiliary conveying component at the left side of the medicine bottle flipping actuator, and then the auxiliary conveying component continues to convey the flipped medicine bottle to the left, and these medicine bottles are moved to the transfer component on the left. With the continuous push of subsequent medicine bottles, they are finally gathered on the main conveying component through the conveying opening on the left. As the main conveying component continues to convey to the left, the flipping operation of the medicine bottle on the auxiliary conveying component will not affect the main conveying component's conveying of the upright medicine bottle, and the conveying efficiency of the medicine bottle is high.

[0006] Furthermore, the medicine bottle flipping actuator includes a rotating drum, a flipping power assembly, a round cover, a flip roller, an arc groove, a longitudinal groove, a middle groove and an end groove. An arc groove is opened in the middle of the outer side of the flip roller, and a longitudinal groove is opened on the outer side of the flip roller, and the longitudinal groove passes through the middle of the arc groove. A middle groove is opened in the middle of the inner part of the flip roller, and two end grooves connected with the middle groove are respectively opened at both ends of the flip roller. Two round covers are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the flip roller, and one end of the two rotating drums is respectively fixedly connected to the middle of the two round covers away from each other. The outer sides of the middle parts of the two rotating drums are respectively rotatably connected to the middle parts of the corresponding lifting adjustment plates, and the front end of the front rotating drum is connected to the flipping power assembly. The flipping power assembly is used to drive the rotating drum to rotate counterclockwise relative to the lifting adjustment disk. When the inverted medicine bottle is conveyed from right to left on the auxiliary conveying assembly, as the flip roller rotates counterclockwise, the inverted medicine bottle will eventually encounter the arc-shaped groove on the flip roller facing the right side. The flip roller can conveniently carry the inverted medicine bottle with the help of the arc-shaped groove. The flip roller can flip the inverted medicine bottle 180 degrees by rotating counterclockwise, so that the inverted medicine bottle is placed exactly on the left side of the auxiliary conveying assembly. The longitudinal groove, middle groove and end groove are used to install the medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism, and the round cover is used to open the end groove, so as to facilitate the arrangement and installation of the medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism in the middle groove and the end groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the medicine bottle flipping and clamping mechanism includes an opposing transmission component, a connecting frame, an installation sleeve, a movable sleeve, a stable clamping execution component and a clamping control component. The opposing transmission component is installed in the middle groove, and the front and rear ends of the opposing transmission component are respectively fixedly connected to two connecting frames, the two connecting frames are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the two installation sleeves, and the outer sides of the other ends of the two installation sleeves are respectively slidably connected to the inner sides of one ends of the two movable sleeves, the two movable sleeves pass through the two ends of the longitudinal groove respectively, and two stable clamping execution components are respectively installed on the side where the other ends of the two movable sleeves are close to each other, the front connecting frame is fixedly connected to the rear end of the clamping control component, the front end of the clamping control component is installed on the front bracket, and the sides where the two movable sleeves are away from each other are connected to the corresponding lifting and adjusting plates through the sleeve anti-interference retraction control mechanism.

[0008] The two connecting frames can be moved closer to or farther away from each other with the help of opposing transmission components, and can drive the two installed jackets to move closer to or farther away from each other, thereby driving the two movable jackets to move closer to or farther away from each other. When the two movable jackets are close to each other, the middle part of the medicine bottle can be stably clamped with the help of two stable clamping actuators, and the medicine bottle can be prevented from escaping from the arc groove on the flipping roller when the inverted medicine bottle is flipped. The setting of the jacket anti-interference retraction control mechanism makes the movable jacket retract into the longitudinal groove when facing downward, avoiding the movable jacket from extending out of the longitudinal groove too long and hitting the upper side of the auxiliary transmission component. The clamping control component is used to push and pull the front connecting frame back and forth, thereby controlling the two movable jackets to move closer to or farther away from each other with the help of the opposing transmission component, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing operations of the medicine bottle.

[0009] Furthermore, the opposing transmission assembly includes a dovetail groove, a dovetail slide, a rack, a gear shaft and a center gear. The middle part of the middle groove is provided with longitudinal dovetail grooves on the upper and lower sides respectively. Two dovetail slides are slidably connected in the two dovetail grooves respectively. Two racks are fixedly connected on the sides of the two dovetail slides close to each other. A gear shaft is fixedly connected in the middle part of the side of the middle groove away from the longitudinal groove. The center gear is rotatably connected to the gear shaft. The ends of the two racks close to each other are meshed with the upper and lower sides of the center gear respectively, and the ends of the two racks away from each other are fixedly connected to two connecting frames respectively. The gear shaft is used to rotate the installation center gear, and the cooperation of the dovetail groove and the dovetail slide allows the two racks to move only forward and backward. When the clamping control component pushes the front connecting frame to move backward, the front connecting frame can push the front rack to move backward, and the front rack can drive the rear rack to move forward with the help of the transmission of the center gear, thereby allowing the two connecting frames to approach each other, and at this time, the two installation jackets can be driven to approach each other, and the two movable jackets can be driven to approach each other, so that the medicine bottle located on the right side of the flip roller can be clamped, and when the clamping control component pulls the front connecting frame forward, the front connecting frame can pull the front rack to move forward, and the front rack can drive the rear rack to move backward with the help of the transmission of the center gear, thereby allowing the two connecting frames to move away from each other, and at this time, the two installation jackets can be driven away from each other, and the two movable jackets can be driven away from each other, so that the medicine bottle located on the left side of the flip roller after flipping can be released.

[0010] Furthermore, the stable clamping execution assembly includes an arc clamp, a disassembly stud and a disassembly nut. Two longitudinal disassembly studs are respectively inserted on the side close to each other at one end of the two movable jackets located on the outer side of the flip roller. The end of the disassembly stud located on the outer side of the movable jacket is fixedly connected with the arc clamp, and the end of the disassembly stud located on the inner side of the movable jacket is threadedly connected with the disassembly nut. The arc clamp is detachably installed with the movable jacket by means of the disassembly stud and the disassembly nut. The arc clamp of different sizes and materials can be replaced. When the two movable jackets are located on the right side of the flip roller, the clamping control assembly drives the two movable jackets to approach each other by means of the connecting frame and the opposite transmission assembly, thereby driving the two arc clamps to approach each other. The two arc clamps can stably clamp the middle of the medicine bottle located on the right side of the flip roller, so as to prevent the medicine bottle from falling from the arc trough when the flip roller flips the medicine bottle counterclockwise, thereby realizing stable clamping of the medicine bottle during the flipping process.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping control assembly includes a hollow column one, a rotating joint, a hollow column two, a clamping electric telescopic rod and a control rod, the front connecting frame is fixedly connected to the rear end of the hollow column one, the center of the hollow column one is arranged to coincide with the center of the flip roller, the front end of the hollow column one is connected to the rear end of the hollow column two through a rotating joint, the front end of the hollow column two passes through the center of the front rotating drum and extends to the outside of the rotating drum, and the outer peripheral side of the front end of the hollow column two is fixedly connected to the top end of the control rod, the bottom end of the control rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the clamping electric telescopic rod, and the rear end of the clamping electric telescopic rod is installed on the bracket on the front side. The hollow column one can rotate relative to the hollow column two through the rotating joint, and in this process the hollow column one and the hollow column two can still be connected through the rotating joint. With the help of the rotating joint, the clamping electric telescopic rod and the control rod do not need to rotate during the rotation of the flip roller, which is convenient for powering the clamping electric telescopic rod and controlling the operation of the clamping electric telescopic rod. The clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened, and the hollow column one, the rotating joint, and the hollow column two can be driven to move backward through the control rod, thereby driving the front connecting frame to move backward. The clamping electric telescopic rod is extended, and the hollow column one, the rotating joint, and the hollow column two can be driven to move forward through the control rod, thereby driving the front connecting frame to move forward. Therefore, the clamping of the medicine bottle can be controlled with the help of the opposing transmission assembly, the mounting jacket, and the movable jacket.

[0012] The cam is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs, each of which is provided with a plurality of springs,

[0013] The counterclockwise rotation of the flip roller drives the two round covers to rotate counterclockwise, and also drives the two movable jackets to rotate counterclockwise. The movable jacket drives the guide wheel to rotate counterclockwise through the telescopic column and the limiting circular plate, and the guide wheel moves counterclockwise along the closed guide groove composed of the circular arc guide groove and the straight line guide groove. In the process of the two movable jackets approaching each other, the elastic force of the compression spring extends the telescopic column to ensure that the guide wheel is always rollingly connected with the side wall of the closed guide groove during the movement of the movable jacket. Since the center of the circle where the circular arc guide groove is located coincides with the center of the lifting adjustment disk, when the guide wheel is in the circular arc guide groove, the relative positions of the installation jacket and the movable jacket are fixed. At this time, the movable jacket extends the maximum distance from the longitudinal groove. When the guide wheel enters the straight line guide groove, the movable jacket moves counterclockwise. At the left end of the guide groove, as the flip roller and the round cover continue to rotate counterclockwise, the guide wheel moves to the right along the linear guide groove, allowing the movable jacket to gradually retract into the longitudinal groove. At this time, the movable jacket gradually moves downward and at the same time gradually retracts into the longitudinal groove to avoid the movable jacket from extending too long from the longitudinal groove and hitting the upper surface of the auxiliary transmission component to cause interference. When the guide wheel is in the middle of the linear guide groove, the movable jacket is retracted into the longitudinal groove to the maximum extent, and the distance the movable jacket extends from the longitudinal groove is the smallest. Then the flip roller and the round cover continue to rotate counterclockwise, and at this time the guide wheel moves to the right end along the linear guide groove and is ready to enter the circular arc guide groove. At this time, the movable jacket gradually extends from the longitudinal groove and begins to move toward the right side, ready to complete the next clamping operation on the medicine bottle.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a medicine bottle adsorption mechanism, which includes a suction cup and a negative pressure control component. Two suction cup mounting grooves are respectively provided on both sides of the circular arc groove, and two suction cups are respectively installed in the two suction cup mounting grooves, and both suction cups are connected to the negative pressure control component. When the medicine bottle cooperates with the circular arc groove on the flip roller, the negative pressure control component provides negative pressure for the suction cup, and the medicine bottle is sucked by the suction cup, so that the medicine bottle can be stably placed in the circular arc groove until the medicine bottle is flipped over, and the negative pressure control component allows the suction cup to release the pressure and release the medicine bottle.

[0015] Furthermore, the negative pressure control component includes a hose 1, a tee, a soft and hard pipe joint, a hose 2, a negative pressure cylinder and a cylinder seat. The rear end of the hollow column 1 is fixedly connected to a port of the tee, and the other two ports of the tee are respectively connected to one end of two hoses 1, and the other ends of the two hoses 1 are respectively connected to two suction cups. The front end of the hollow column 2 is connected to one end of the hose 2 through a soft and hard pipe joint. The front bracket is fixedly connected to the cylinder seat, and a longitudinal negative pressure cylinder is installed on the cylinder seat. The piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder faces rearward, and the rear end of the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder is fixedly connected to the front side of the control rod, and the other end of the hose 2 is connected to the front end of the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder. When it is necessary to clamp the medicine bottle, the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened. When the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened, the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder is driven backward by the control rod, and the piston on the piston rod draws the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder into a negative pressure state. The negative pressure in the cylinder body is transmitted to the suction cup with the help of hose 2, hollow column 2, rotating joint, hollow column 1, and hose 2, thereby achieving adsorption and fixation of the medicine bottle. Therefore, with the help of a clamping electric telescopic rod, the clamping and adsorption fixation of the medicine bottle can be achieved at the same time, making the medicine bottle more stable when flipping.

[0016] Furthermore, the medicine bottle conveying and sorting mechanism further comprises a sorting assembly, and the sorting assembly is installed at the conveying opening on the right side. With the help of the sorting assembly, the inverted medicine bottle can be conveyed from the conveying opening on the right side to the transfer assembly on the right side, so that the inverted medicine bottle can be conveyed to the right end of the auxiliary conveying assembly through the transfer assembly.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the bottle turning device in the pharmaceutical delivery process are: 1. The main conveying assembly conveys the medicine bottles from right to left. The inverted medicine bottles are sorted out and sent to the transfer assembly on the right from the conveying opening on the right. With the push of the inverted medicine bottles on the rear side, the inverted medicine bottles are finally transferred to the right end of the auxiliary conveying assembly. The auxiliary conveying assembly conveys the inverted medicine bottles from right to left. The lifting control assembly is used to drive the bracket to move up and down, thereby driving the medicine bottle flip actuator to move up and down through two lifting adjustment plates to adapt to medicine bottles of different heights. The medicine bottles will encounter the medicine bottle flip actuator during the process of being conveyed to the left on the auxiliary conveying assembly. The medicine bottle flip actuator clamps the medicine bottle with the help of the medicine bottle flip clamping mechanism. The medicine bottles are held in the middle of the medicine bottle, and then the medicine bottle flipping actuator drives the medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism to flip the medicine bottle 180 degrees, and the inverted medicine bottle is placed upright on the auxiliary conveying assembly to the left of the medicine bottle flipping actuator. The auxiliary conveying assembly then continues to convey the flipped medicine bottles to the left, and these medicine bottles are moved to the transfer assembly on the left. As the subsequent medicine bottles are continuously pushed, they are finally gathered on the main conveying assembly through the conveying opening on the left. As the main conveying assembly continues to convey to the left, the flipping operation of the medicine bottles on the auxiliary conveying assembly will not affect the main conveying assembly's conveying of the upright medicine bottles, and the conveying efficiency of the medicine bottles is high.

[0018] 2. The two connecting frames can be moved closer to or farther away from each other with the help of opposing transmission components, which can drive the two installed jackets to move closer to or farther away from each other, thereby driving the two movable jackets to move closer to or farther away from each other. When the two movable jackets are close to each other, the middle part of the medicine bottle can be stably clamped with the help of two stable clamping actuators, and the medicine bottle can be prevented from escaping from the arc groove on the flip roller when the inverted medicine bottle is flipped. The setting of the jacket anti-interference retraction control mechanism makes the movable jacket retract into the longitudinal groove when facing downward, avoiding the movable jacket from extending too long from the longitudinal groove and hitting the upper side of the auxiliary transmission component. The clamping control component is used to push and pull the front connecting frame to move back and forth, thereby controlling the two movable jackets to move closer to or farther away from each other with the help of the opposing transmission component, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing operations of the medicine bottle.

[0019] 3. When it is necessary to clamp the medicine bottle, the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened. When the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened, the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder is driven to move backward through the control rod. The piston on the piston rod draws the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder into a negative pressure state. The negative pressure in the cylinder body is transmitted to the suction cup with the help of hose 2, hollow column 2, rotating joint, hollow column 1, and hose 2 to achieve adsorption and fixation of the medicine bottle. Therefore, with the help of a clamping electric telescopic rod, the clamping and adsorption fixation of the medicine bottle can be achieved at the same time, making the medicine bottle more stable when flipping.

[0020] 4. The inverted medicine bottles on the main conveying component can be transferred to the auxiliary conveying component, and then the inverted medicine bottles can be turned over on the auxiliary conveying component, and then the turned-over medicine bottles can be returned to the main conveying component. When turning over the medicine bottles, the transmission of the upright medicine bottles will not be delayed, and the transmission efficiency of the medicine bottles is high. The medicine bottles are turned over stably and efficiently, and the medicine bottles are not easy to fall, tip over or be damaged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

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.

[0023] For example, see Figures 1 to 12 The present embodiment provides a technical solution: a bottle turning device in a pharmaceutical conveying process, comprising a medicine bottle conveying and sorting mechanism 1, the medicine bottle conveying and sorting mechanism 1 comprises a main conveying component and an auxiliary conveying component, the auxiliary conveying component is located at the front side of the main conveying component, and two conveying openings are arranged on the front side of the main conveying component, and the two conveying openings are respectively connected to the two ends of the auxiliary conveying component through two transfer components.

[0024] Specifically, the main conveying assembly includes a main conveying frame 11, a main conveyor belt 12, a rear rail 13, and a front rail 14. The main conveying frame 11 is arranged horizontally, and the main conveyor belt 12 is installed on the main conveying frame 11. The main conveyor belt 12 runs counterclockwise. The rear side of the main conveying frame 11 is installed with the rear rail 13, and the front side of the main conveying frame 11 is installed with the front rail 14. The front rail 14 has two conveying openings.

[0025] The auxiliary conveying assembly includes an auxiliary conveying frame 15, an auxiliary conveyor belt 16, and an auxiliary railing 17. The auxiliary conveying frame 15 is located at the front side of the main conveying frame 11. The auxiliary conveyor belt 16 is installed on the auxiliary conveying frame 15. The auxiliary conveyor belt 16 runs counterclockwise. Two auxiliary railings 17 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the auxiliary conveying frame 15, and the middle parts of the two auxiliary railings 17 are respectively provided with recessed parts.

[0026] The transfer assembly includes an inclined transfer plate 18 and a baffle 19. The two ends of the auxiliary transfer frame 15 are respectively connected to one end of the two inclined transfer plates 18. The other ends of the two inclined transfer plates 18 correspond to the bottoms of the two transfer openings. Two baffles 19 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of each inclined transfer plate 18.

[0027] The medicine bottle conveying and sorting mechanism 1 further comprises a sorting assembly, and the sorting assembly is installed at the conveying opening on the right side. With the help of the sorting assembly, the inverted medicine bottle can be conveyed from the conveying opening on the right side to the transfer assembly on the right side, so that the inverted medicine bottle can be conveyed to the right end of the auxiliary conveying assembly through the transfer assembly.

[0028] Specifically, the sorting assembly includes a sorting shaft 112, a sorting motor 113, a sorting guide plate 114, and a guide vertical roller 115. The vertical sorting shaft 112 is rotatably connected to the left end of the conveying opening on the right side of the front railing 14. The top of the sorting shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the sorting motor 113. The sorting motor 113 is installed on the top of the front railing 14. The middle part of the sorting shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the left end of the sorting guide plate 114. A plurality of rectangular through grooves are equidistantly provided on the sorting guide plate 114. The number of the rectangular through grooves is selected according to needs. A guide vertical roller 115 is rotatably connected in each rectangular through groove.

[0029] The medicine bottle conveying and sorting mechanism 1 also includes a camera bracket 110 and an industrial camera 111. The right end of the front railing 14 is installed with the industrial camera 111 through the camera bracket 110. The industrial camera 111 faces the upper right end of the main conveyor belt 12, and the industrial camera 111 photographs the medicine bottles conveyed on the main conveyor belt 12.

[0030] Under normal conditions, the sorting motor 113 drives the sorting guide plate 114 to block the conveying opening on the right side. When the medicine bottle is identified to be in an inverted state, the sorting motor 113 works to drive the sorting shaft 112 to rotate counterclockwise, and the sorting shaft 112 drives the right end of the sorting guide plate 114 to swing backward. The rotation of the guide vertical roller 115 reduces the friction between the medicine bottle and the sorting guide plate 114. The sorting guide plate 114 guides the inverted medicine bottle to the inclined conveyor plate 18 on the right side with the help of the guide vertical roller 115. Then the sorting motor 113 drives the sorting shaft 112 to rotate clockwise, and the sorting guide plate 114 pushes the inverted medicine bottle to the middle part of the inclined conveyor plate 18 on the right side. The next inverted medicine bottle to be sorted will continue to be pushed to the inclined conveyor plate 18 on the right side. As the right medicine bottle on the inclined conveyor plate 18 pushes the left medicine bottle, the left medicine bottle will eventually be transferred to the auxiliary conveyor belt 16 and conveyed to the left by the auxiliary conveyor belt 16.

[0031] The inverted medicine bottles are turned over in the middle of the auxiliary conveyor belt 16, and the medicine bottles on the left end of the auxiliary conveyor belt 16 are pushed to the left in turn, and are transferred to the left end of the main conveyor belt 12 again with the help of the inclined conveyor plate 18 on the left. The baffle 19 is set to limit and block the two sides of the medicine bottles on the inclined conveyor plate 18 to prevent the medicine bottles on the inclined conveyor plate 18 from tipping over.

[0032] It also includes a bottle height adaptation lifting mechanism 2, a medicine bottle turning actuator 3 and a medicine bottle turning clamping mechanism 4.

[0033] The bottle height adaptation lifting mechanism 2 includes a lifting control component, a bracket 24 and a lifting adjustment plate 25. Two lifting control components are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the middle part of the auxiliary conveying component. Two brackets 24 are respectively installed on the top of the two lifting control components. Two lifting adjustment plates 25 are respectively installed on the two brackets 24 by bolts. The two lifting adjustment plates 25 correspond to the two recessed parts on the two auxiliary railings 17 respectively.

[0034] Specifically, the lifting control assembly includes a seat plate 21, a guide column 22, and a lifting electric telescopic rod 23. Two seat plates 21 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the middle of the auxiliary conveying frame 15, and two guide columns 22 are vertically slidably connected to each seat plate 21. The tops of the two guide columns 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding bracket 24, and the bottom ends of the lifting electric telescopic rods 23 are fixedly connected to each seat plate 21, and the tops of the lifting electric telescopic rods 23 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the corresponding brackets 24. The extension and retraction of the two lifting electric telescopic rods 23 can drive the two brackets 24 to move up and down, thereby driving the two lifting adjustment plates 25 to move up and down. The cooperation between the guide columns 22 and the seat plate 21 makes the up and down movement of the bracket 24 more stable.

[0035] The medicine bottle flipping actuator 3 is installed between the two lifting adjustment plates 25 , and the medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism 4 is installed on the medicine bottle flipping actuator 3 .

[0036] The medicine bottle flip actuator 3 includes a rotating drum 31, a flipping power assembly, a round cover 35, a flip roller 36, an arc groove 37, a longitudinal groove 38, a middle groove 39 and an end groove 310. An arc groove 37 is provided in the middle of the outer side of the flip roller 36, and a longitudinal groove 38 is provided on the outer side of the flip roller 36. The longitudinal groove 38 passes through the middle of the arc groove 37. A middle groove 39 is provided in the middle of the inner part of the flip roller 36, and two end grooves 310 connected to the middle groove 39 are respectively provided at both ends of the flip roller 36. Two round covers 35 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the flip roller 36 by screws, and one end of the two rotating drums 31 is respectively fixedly connected to the middle of the two circular covers 35 away from each other. The outer middle parts of the two rotating drums 31 are rotatably connected to the middle of the corresponding lifting adjustment disk 25 through bearings, and the front end of the front rotating drum 31 is connected to the flipping power assembly.

[0037] The flipping power assembly includes a driven gear 32, a flipping motor 33, and a driving gear 34. The driven gear 32 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral side of the front end of the front rotating drum 31, and the flipping motor 33 is installed on the front lifting adjustment plate 25. The output shaft of the flipping motor 33 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 34. The driving gear 34 is meshed with the driven gear 32. When the flipping motor 33 works, the driving gear 34 rotates. The driving gear 34 drives the front rotating drum 31 to rotate through the transmission of the driven gear 32, thereby driving the flip roller 36 to rotate through the round cover 35.

[0038] The flipping power assembly is used to drive the rotating drum 31 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the lifting adjustment disk 25. During the process of the inverted medicine bottle being conveyed from right to left on the auxiliary conveying assembly, as the flip roller 36 rotates counterclockwise, the inverted medicine bottle will eventually encounter the arc groove 37 facing the right on the flip roller 36. The flip roller 36 can conveniently carry the inverted medicine bottle with the help of the arc groove 37. The flip roller 36 can flip the inverted medicine bottle 180 degrees by rotating counterclockwise, so that the inverted medicine bottle is placed exactly on the left side of the auxiliary conveying assembly of the flip roller 36. The longitudinal groove 38, the middle groove 39 and the end groove 310 are used to install the medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism 4, and the round cover 35 is used to open the end groove 310, so as to facilitate the arrangement and installation of the medicine bottle flipping clamping mechanism 4 in the middle groove 39 and the end groove 310.

[0039] The medicine bottle flipping and clamping mechanism 4 includes an opposing transmission component, a connecting frame 46, an installation jacket 47, a movable jacket 48, a stable clamping execution component and a clamping control component. The opposing transmission component is installed in the middle groove 39. The front and rear ends of the opposing transmission component are respectively fixedly connected to two connecting frames 46. The two connecting frames 46 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the two installation jackets 47 by screws. The installation jackets 47 are distributed along the radial direction of the flip roller 36. The outer sides of the other ends of the two installation jackets 47 are respectively slidably connected to the inner sides of one ends of the two movable jackets 48. Then, the two movable sleeves 48 pass through the two ends of the longitudinal groove 38 respectively, and the ends of the two movable sleeves 48 away from the mounting sleeve 47 extend to the outside of the flip roller 36 respectively, and the other ends of the two movable sleeves 48 close to each other are respectively installed with two stable clamping actuator components, the front connecting frame 46 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the clamping control component, and the front end of the clamping control component is installed on the front bracket 24, and the sides of the two movable sleeves 48 away from each other are respectively connected to the corresponding lifting adjustment disk 25 through the sleeve anti-interference retraction control mechanism 6.

[0040] With the help of the opposing transmission components, the two connecting frames 46 can approach or move away from each other, and can drive the two installed sleeves 47 to approach or move away from each other, thereby driving the two movable sleeves 48 to approach or move away from each other. When the two movable sleeves 48 approach each other, they can stably clamp the middle part of the medicine bottle with the help of two stable clamping actuators, and when the inverted medicine bottle is flipped, the medicine bottle can be prevented from escaping from the arc groove 37 on the flip roller 36. The setting of the sleeve anti-interference retraction control mechanism 6 makes the movable sleeve 48 retract into the longitudinal groove 38 when facing downward, avoiding the movable sleeve 48 from extending out of the longitudinal groove 38 too long and hitting the upper side of the auxiliary transmission component. The clamping control component is used to push and pull the front connecting frame 46 to move back and forth, thereby controlling the two movable sleeves 48 to approach or move away from each other with the help of the opposing transmission component, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing operations of the medicine bottle.

[0041] The opposing transmission assembly includes a dovetail groove 41, a dovetail slide 42, a rack 43, a gear shaft 44 and a center gear 45. The middle part of the middle groove 39 is provided with longitudinal dovetail grooves 41 on the upper and lower sides respectively. Two dovetail slides 42 are slidably connected in the two dovetail grooves 41 respectively. Two racks 43 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two dovetail slides 42 close to each other. A gear shaft 44 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the side of the middle groove 39 away from the longitudinal groove 38. The center gear 45 is rotatably connected to the gear shaft 44. The ends of the two racks 43 close to each other are meshed with the upper and lower sides of the center gear 45 respectively, and the ends of the two racks 43 away from each other are fixedly connected to two connecting frames 46 by bolts.

[0042] The gear shaft 44 is used to rotate the installation center gear 45. The cooperation between the dovetail groove 41 and the dovetail slide 42 allows the two racks 43 to move only forward and backward. When the clamping control component pushes the front connecting frame 46 to move backward, the front connecting frame 46 can push the front rack 43 to move backward, and the front rack 43 can drive the rear rack 43 to move forward with the transmission of the center gear 45, thereby allowing the two connecting frames 46 to approach each other. At this time, the two installation jackets 47 can be driven to approach each other, and the two movable jackets 48 can also be driven to approach each other, so that the medicine bottle located on the right side of the flip roller 36 can be clamped.

[0043] When the clamping control component pulls the front connecting frame 46 to move forward, the front connecting frame 46 can pull the front rack 43 forward, and the front rack 43 can drive the rear rack 43 to move backward with the help of the transmission of the central gear 45, thereby allowing the two connecting frames 46 to move away from each other, and at this time, the two installation jackets 47 can be driven away from each other, and the two movable jackets 48 can also be driven away from each other, so that the medicine bottle located on the left side of the flip roller 36 after flipping can be loosened.

[0044] The firmly clamping actuator includes an arc clamp plate 49, a disassembly stud 410 and a disassembly nut 411. Two movable sleeves 48 are located on the outer side of the flip roller 36 and are close to each other. Two longitudinal disassembly studs 410 are respectively interspersed on one side. The end of the disassembly stud 410 located on the outer side of the movable sleeve 48 is fixedly connected to the arc clamp plate 49, and the end of the disassembly stud 410 located on the inner side of the movable sleeve 48 is threadedly connected to the disassembly nut 411.

[0045] The arc clamp 49 is detachably mounted with the movable sleeve 48 by means of the disassembly stud 410 and the disassembly nut 411, and the arc clamp 49 of different sizes and materials can be replaced. When the two movable sleeves 48 are located on the right side of the flip roller 36, the clamping control component drives the two movable sleeves 48 to approach each other with the help of the connecting frame 46 and the opposing transmission component, thereby driving the two arc clamps 49 to approach each other. The two arc clamps 49 can cooperate to stably clamp the middle part of the medicine bottle located on the right side of the flip roller 36, preventing the medicine bottle from falling out of the arc trough 37 when the flip roller 36 flips the medicine bottle counterclockwise, thereby achieving stable clamping of the medicine bottle during the flipping process.

[0046] The clamping control assembly includes a hollow column 412, a rotating joint 413, a hollow column 414, a clamping electric telescopic rod 415 and a control rod 416. The front connecting frame 46 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the hollow column 412. The center of the hollow column 412 coincides with the center of the flip roller 36. The front end of the hollow column 412 is connected to the rear end of the hollow column 414 through the rotating joint 413. The front end of the hollow column 414 passes through the center of the front rotating drum 31 and extends to the outside of the rotating drum 31. The outer peripheral side of the front end of the hollow column 414 is fixedly connected to the top end of the control rod 416. The bottom end of the control rod 416 is fixedly connected to the front end of the clamping electric telescopic rod 415. The rear end of the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is installed on the front bracket 24.

[0047] The hollow column 1 412 can rotate relative to the hollow column 2 414 through the rotating joint 413, and during this process, the hollow column 1 412 and the hollow column 2 414 can still be connected through the rotating joint 413. With the help of the rotating joint 413, the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 and the control rod 416 do not need to rotate during the rotation of the flip roller 36, which is convenient for powering the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 and controlling the operation of the clamping electric telescopic rod 415.

[0048] The clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is shortened, and the control rod 416 can drive the hollow column 1 412, the rotating joint 413, and the hollow column 2 414 to move backward, thereby driving the front connecting frame 46 to move backward; the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is extended, and the control rod 416 can drive the hollow column 1 412, the rotating joint 413, and the hollow column 2 414 to move forward, thereby driving the front connecting frame 46 to move forward. Therefore, the clamping of the medicine bottle can be controlled by means of the opposing transmission assembly, the mounting jacket 47 and the movable jacket 48.

[0049] The jacket anti-interference retraction control mechanism 6 includes a radial through slot 61, a telescopic column 62, a compression spring 63, a limit circular plate 64, a guide wheel 65, an arc guide slot 66 and a linear guide slot 67. A radial through slot 61 is respectively provided at a position corresponding to the installation jacket 47 on each round cover 35. One end of the two movable jackets 48 close to the installation jacket 47 and away from each other are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the two longitudinal telescopic columns 62. The two telescopic columns 62 respectively pass through the corresponding radial through slots 61. Two compression springs 63 are respectively sleeved on the outer sides of the two telescopic columns 62. The other ends of the two telescopic columns 62 are respectively fixed. There are two limit circular plates 64 connected to the fixed connection, and two guide wheels 65 are rotatably connected at the middle of one end of the two limit circular plates 64 that are away from each other. A circular arc guide groove 66 is opened on the side of each lifting adjustment disk 25 close to the round cover 35. The center of the circle where the circular arc guide groove 66 is located coincides with the center of the lifting adjustment disk 25. The two ends of the circular arc guide groove 66 are connected by a linear guide groove 67. The circular arc guide groove 66 and the linear guide groove 67 constitute a closed guide groove. Each guide wheel 65 extends into the corresponding closed guide groove respectively. One end of the compression spring 63 abuts against the limit circular plate 64 and the other end abuts against the movable sleeve 48.

[0050] The counterclockwise rotation of the flip roller 36 drives the two round covers 35 to rotate counterclockwise, and also drives the two movable sleeves 48 to rotate counterclockwise. The movable sleeve 48 drives the guide wheel 65 to rotate counterclockwise through the telescopic column 62 and the limiting circular plate 64. The guide wheel 65 moves counterclockwise along the closed guide groove formed by the circular arc guide groove 66 and the linear guide groove 67. In the process of the two movable sleeves 48 approaching each other, the elastic force of the compression spring 63 allows the telescopic column 62 to extend, ensuring that the guide wheel 65 is always rollingly connected to the side wall of the closed guide groove during the movement of the movable sleeve 48. Since the center of the circle where the circular arc guide groove 66 is located coincides with the center of the lifting adjustment disk 25, when the guide wheel 65 is in the circular arc guide groove 66, the relative position of the installation sleeve 47 and the movable sleeve 48 is fixed. At this time, the movable sleeve 48 extends the maximum distance from the longitudinal groove 38. When the guide wheel 65 enters the left end of the linear guide groove 67, as the flip roller 36 and the round cover 35 continue to rotate counterclockwise, the guide wheel 65 moves to the right along the linear guide groove 67, allowing the movable jacket 48 to gradually retract into the longitudinal groove 38. At this time, the movable jacket 48 gradually moves downward and gradually retracts into the longitudinal groove 38, so as to avoid the movable jacket 48 from extending too long from the longitudinal groove 38 and hitting the upper surface of the auxiliary transmission component to cause interference. When the guide wheel 65 is in the middle of the linear guide groove 67, the movable jacket 48 is retracted into the longitudinal groove 38 to the greatest extent, and the distance that the movable jacket 48 extends from the longitudinal groove 38 is the smallest. Then the flip roller 36 and the round cover 35 continue to rotate counterclockwise, and at this time the guide wheel 65 moves to the right end along the linear guide groove 67 and is ready to enter the arc guide groove 66. At this time, the movable jacket 48 gradually extends from the longitudinal groove 38 and begins to move to the right, ready to complete the next clamping operation on the medicine bottle.

[0051] When in use, the external bottle sorter places the medicine bottles on the right end of the main conveying assembly in turn, and the main conveying assembly conveys the medicine bottles from right to left. The inverted medicine bottles are sorted out and sent to the transfer assembly on the right from the conveying opening on the right. With the push of the inverted medicine bottles on the rear side, the inverted medicine bottles are finally transferred to the right end of the auxiliary conveying assembly, and the auxiliary conveying assembly conveys the inverted medicine bottles from right to left. The lifting control assembly is used to drive the bracket 24 to move up and down, thereby driving the medicine bottle flipping actuator 3 to move up and down through two lifting adjustment plates 25 to adapt to medicine bottles of different heights. The medicine bottles will encounter the medicine bottle flipping actuator 3 during the process of being conveyed to the left on the auxiliary conveying assembly. Mechanism 3 clamps the middle part of the medicine bottle with the help of the medicine bottle flipping and clamping mechanism 4, and then the medicine bottle flipping actuator 3 drives the medicine bottle flipping and clamping mechanism 4 to flip 180 degrees, and puts the inverted medicine bottle on the left side of the auxiliary conveying component on the auxiliary conveying component, and then the auxiliary conveying component continues to convey the flipped medicine bottle to the left. These medicine bottles are moved to the transfer component on the left. With the continuous push of subsequent medicine bottles, they are finally gathered on the main conveying component through the conveying opening on the left. As the main conveying component continues to convey to the left, the flipping operation of the medicine bottle on the auxiliary conveying component will not affect the main conveying component's conveying of the upright medicine bottle, and the conveying efficiency of the medicine bottle is high.

[0052] For example 2, please refer to Figures 1 to 12 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a bottle turning device in the process of drug delivery. The structure of this embodiment is roughly the same as that of the first embodiment, except that: It also includes a medicine bottle adsorption mechanism 5, which includes a suction cup 51 and a negative pressure control component. Two suction cup mounting grooves are respectively provided on both sides of the arc groove 37, and two suction cups 51 are respectively installed in the two suction cup mounting grooves, and both suction cups 51 are connected to the negative pressure control component. When the medicine bottle cooperates with the arc groove 37 on the flip roller 36, the negative pressure control component provides negative pressure for the suction cup 51, and the medicine bottle is sucked by the suction cup 51, so that the medicine bottle can be stably placed in the arc groove 37 until the medicine bottle is flipped, and the negative pressure control component allows the suction cup 51 to release the pressure and release the medicine bottle.

[0053] The negative pressure control assembly includes a hose 1 52, a tee 53, a soft and hard pipe joint 54, a hose 2 55, a negative pressure cylinder 56 and a cylinder seat 57. The rear end of the hollow column 1 412 is fixedly connected to one port of the tee 53, and the other two ports of the tee 53 are respectively connected to one end of the two hoses 1 52, and the other ends of the two hoses 1 52 are respectively connected to the two suction cups 51. The front end of the hollow column 2 414 is connected to one end of the hose 2 55 through the soft and hard pipe joint 54. The cylinder seat 57 is fixedly connected to the front bracket 24. Specifically, the cylinder seat 57 and the front bracket 24 are fixedly connected by a short plate and matching screws. A longitudinal negative pressure cylinder 56 is installed on the cylinder seat 57, and the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder 56 faces backward, and the rear end of the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder 56 is fixedly connected to the front side of the control rod 416, and the other end of the hose 2 55 is connected to the front end of the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder 56.

[0054] When it is necessary to clamp the medicine bottle, the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is shortened. When the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is shortened, the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder 56 is driven to move backward through the control rod 416, and the piston on the piston rod draws the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder 56 into a negative pressure state. The negative pressure in the cylinder body is transmitted to the suction cup 51 by means of the hose 2 55, the hollow column 2 414, the rotating joint 413, the hollow column 1 412, and the hose 2 55, so as to achieve the adsorption and fixation of the medicine bottle. Therefore, with the help of a clamping electric telescopic rod 415, the clamping and fixation of the medicine bottle and the adsorption and fixation can be achieved at the same time, so that the medicine bottle is more stable when flipped.

[0055] For other embodiments, see Figures 1 to 12 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a bottle turning device in the process of pharmaceutical delivery. This embodiment has a substantially similar structure to the second embodiment, except that: a medicine bottle center approaching mechanism 7 is also provided. The medicine bottle center approaching mechanism 7 includes a fixed column 71, a collar 72, an approaching guide rod 73 and an adjusting nut 74. Two secondary rails 17 are located on the right side of the recessed portion and are respectively fixedly connected to two fixed columns 71. Two collars 72 are respectively sleeved on the two fixed columns 71. Two sides of the two collars 72 are respectively fixedly connected to two approaching guide rods 73. Two adjusting nuts 74 are respectively threadedly connected to the two fixed columns 71. The orientation of the approaching guide rods 73 can be adjusted by loosening the adjusting nuts 74. The two approaching guide rods 73 guide the medicine bottles conveyed on the secondary conveyor belt 16, so that the medicine bottles conveyed from right to left on the secondary conveyor belt 16 are aligned with the arc groove 37 on the turning roller 36, so as to prevent the medicine bottles from quickly cooperating with the arc groove 37 before turning.

[0056] See also Figures 1 to 12 , a method for using a bottle turning device in a pharmaceutical delivery process, comprising the following steps.

[0057] The main conveying component conveys the medicine bottle from right to left. When the industrial camera 111 recognizes that the medicine bottle is in an inverted state, the sorting motor 113 works to drive the sorting shaft 112 to rotate counterclockwise, and the sorting shaft 112 drives the right end of the sorting guide 114 to swing backward. The sorting guide 114 guides the inverted medicine bottle to the inclined conveyor plate 18 on the right with the help of the guide vertical roller 115, and then the sorting motor 113 drives the sorting shaft 112 to rotate clockwise, and the sorting guide 114 pushes the inverted medicine bottle to the middle of the inclined conveyor plate 18 on the right. The next inverted medicine bottle to be sorted will continue to be pushed to the inclined conveyor plate 18 on the right. As the right medicine bottle on the inclined conveyor plate 18 pushes the left medicine bottle, the left medicine bottle will eventually be transferred to the auxiliary conveyor belt 16 and conveyed to the left by the auxiliary conveyor belt 16.

[0058] The auxiliary conveying assembly conveys the inverted medicine bottle from right to left, and the lifting control assembly is used to drive the bracket 24 to move up and down, thereby driving the medicine bottle flipping actuator 3 to move up and down through two lifting adjustment plates 25 to adapt to medicine bottles of different heights.

[0059] The flipping power assembly is used to drive the rotating drum 31 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the lifting adjustment disk 25. When the inverted medicine bottle is conveyed from right to left on the auxiliary conveying assembly, as the flip roller 36 rotates counterclockwise, the inverted medicine bottle will eventually encounter the arc groove 37 on the flip roller 36 facing the right side. The flip roller 36 uses the arc groove 37 to easily carry the inverted medicine bottle.

[0060] The clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is shortened, and the control rod 416 can drive the hollow column 1 412, the rotating joint 413, and the hollow column 2 414 to move backward, thereby driving the front connecting frame 46 to move backward, and the front connecting frame 46 can push the front rack 43 to move backward, and the front rack 43 can drive the rear rack 43 to move forward with the help of the transmission of the central gear 45, thereby allowing the two connecting frames 46 to approach each other, and at this time, the two installation sleeves 47 can be driven to approach each other, and the two movable sleeves 48 can also be driven to approach each other, and the two arc clamps 49 can cooperate to stably clamp the middle of the medicine bottle located on the right side of the flip roller 36.

[0061] When the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is shortened, the control rod 416 drives the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder 56 to move backward, and the piston on the piston rod draws the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder 56 into a negative pressure state. The negative pressure in the cylinder body is transmitted to the suction cup 51 by means of the hose 2 55, the hollow column 2 414, the rotating joint 413, the hollow column 1 412, and the hose 2 55, thereby achieving the adsorption and fixation of the medicine bottle.

[0062] The flipping power assembly is used to drive the rotating drum 31 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the lifting adjustment plate 25, flip the fixed medicine bottle 180 degrees, and place the inverted medicine bottle on the auxiliary transmission assembly at the left side of the medicine bottle flipping actuator 3, and then extend the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 to move the two arc clamps 49 away from the loosened medicine bottle. At the same time, the suction cup 51 no longer adsorbs the medicine bottle, completing the flipping operation of the medicine bottle.

[0063] The auxiliary conveying component then continues to convey the flipped medicine bottles to the left, and these medicine bottles move to the transfer component on the left. As subsequent medicine bottles continue to be pushed, they are eventually gathered on the main conveying component through the conveying opening on the left, and continue to be conveyed to the left by the main conveying component.

[0064] It is worth noting that the sorting motor 113, industrial camera 111, lifting electric telescopic rod 23, flipping motor 33, and clamping electric telescopic rod 415 disclosed in the above embodiments are all controlled by an external PLC controller, and the control method thereof adopts the method commonly used in the prior art, wherein the sorting motor 113 and the flipping motor 33 both adopt servo motors.
