Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to a device for feeding and applying adhesive to a dripping bucket lid. Background Technology

[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 bucket production line, a device is needed to load and apply adhesive to the dripping bucket lid, so as to load the dripping bucket lid to the corresponding station and apply adhesive to the dripping bucket lid for subsequent assembly and production of the defoaming dripping bucket. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application proposes a device for feeding and applying adhesive to a dripping bucket lid.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes an apparatus for feeding and applying adhesive to a dripping hopper lid, comprising a worktable, a drive mechanism on the worktable capable of driving a rotating plate to rotate, and a fixed plate positioned above the rotating plate and stationary relative to the worktable. The rotating plate is provided with a plurality of storage fixtures spaced circumferentially, the storage fixtures being used to store materials. A dripping hopper lid feeding station is mounted on the worktable. A claw-type glue-applying station is mounted on the fixed plate. The dripping bucket cover loading station is correspondingly set to the claw-type glue-applying station. When the rotating plate stops rotating, both the dripping bucket cover loading station and the claw-type glue-applying station correspond to the same storage jig and are located on both sides of the storage jig. The dripping bucket cover loading station is used to load the dripping bucket cover into the storage jig. At this time, the dripping bucket cover is in an upright state, and the end used for assembly with the diverter umbrella faces upward. The claw-type glue-applying station is used to apply glue to the end of the dripping bucket cover used for assembly with the diverter umbrella.

[0007] In some embodiments, the dripping cap feeding station includes a feeding unit, a support frame, a receiving and blocking unit, and a picking and feeding unit. The feeding unit is used to feed the dripping caps into the receiving and blocking unit. The receiving and blocking unit is disposed on the support frame and is used to receive two sets of dripping caps from the feeding unit and to hold the next set of dripping caps in the feeding unit. Each set of dripping caps includes M dripping caps, N = 2M, where M is a positive integer. The picking and feeding unit is disposed on the support frame and is used to pick up N dripping caps from the receiving and blocking unit and to feed each dripping cap into the storage fixture.

[0008] In some embodiments, the direction of the feeding station of the dripping hopper towards the corresponding storage fixture on the rotating plate is defined as front, and the direction away from the corresponding storage fixture on the rotating plate is defined as back. Based on the front-back direction, the corresponding left-right direction is defined.

[0009] The support frame includes a support base plate, two support upright plates disposed opposite to each other on the support base plate, and a support top plate connected to the upper end of the two support upright plates. The support top plate is in the shape of a U-shape.

[0010] The structure of the material receiving and blocking unit is as follows: It includes a first mounting plate connected between two supporting uprights. A first cylinder is mounted on one end of the lower surface of the first mounting plate. The first cylinder is connected to a first adapter plate, which passes through a through hole in the first mounting plate. The upper part of the first adapter plate is located above the first mounting plate. When the first cylinder is driven, the first adapter plate can move left and right at the through hole. A first limiting mechanism and a second limiting mechanism are respectively provided on the upper surface of the first mounting plate to limit the left and right movement of the first adapter plate. A top cylinder is mounted on the other end of the lower surface of the first mounting plate. The telescopic rod end of the top cylinder has a top cylinder head, which faces the first adapter plate. A first sliding plate is connected to the upper end of the first adapter plate. A first slider is provided on the lower surface of the first sliding plate. A first slide rail, which cooperates with the first slider, is fixed to the upper surface of the first mounting plate. A material receiving plate is provided on the upper surface of the first sliding plate, and N material receiving grooves are spaced apart on the material receiving plate. This unit is used to receive dripping bucket lids from the feeding unit. An optical fiber mounting plate is connected to the front end of the receiving plate. The optical fiber mounting plate has N optical fiber mounting holes spaced apart, each hole corresponding to a receiving slot. Each mounting hole is fitted with a material arrival detection optical fiber to detect whether the dripping bucket lid has reached the receiving slot. A retaining plane is formed at the rear end of the receiving plate between two adjacent receiving slots to keep the dripping bucket lid in the feeding unit. When M dripping bucket lids in the feeding unit are fed into their corresponding receiving slots... At this time, under the action of the first cylinder, the receiving plate moves, so that the remaining M receiving slots are aligned with the straight material channel in the feeding unit, and the M dripping caps in the feeding unit are fed to the receiving slots. Under the action of the top cylinder, the force of the top cylinder is greater than that of the first cylinder. Through the action of the top cylinder head on the first adapter plate, the receiving plate can be moved a preset distance in the opposite direction, so that the blocking plane is aligned with the straight material channel of the feeding unit, and the next set of dripping caps is stopped in the feeding unit.

[0011] In some embodiments, the direction of the claw-type glue application station toward the corresponding storage fixture on the rotating plate is defined as forward, and the direction away from the corresponding storage fixture on the rotating plate is defined as backward. Based on the forward and backward directions, the corresponding left and right directions are defined.

[0012] The structure of the claw-type adhesive application station is as follows: it includes a first base plate and a second base plate fixed on the fixed plate, with the second base plate being closer to the material storage fixture. Two first upright plates are provided opposite to each other on the first base plate, and a first top plate is connected between the top ends of the two first upright plates. A fourth cylinder is provided on the first top plate, and the fourth cylinder is connected to a second mounting plate. When the fourth cylinder is driven to move, the second mounting plate can move up and down. A fifth guide shaft is connected to the upper surface of the second mounting plate. The fifth guide shaft is used in conjunction with a fifth linear bearing provided on the first top plate. A second limiting plate is connected to the top end of the fifth guide shaft. A second buffer is provided on the second limiting plate. The second buffer is used in conjunction with a limiting set screw provided on the upper surface of the first top plate to limit the downward movement of the second mounting plate.

[0013] A fifth cylinder is mounted on the lower surface of the second mounting plate. The fifth cylinder is connected to the third adapter plate. When the fifth cylinder is driven, the third adapter plate can move in the front-back direction. A glue-applying gripper mounting plate is connected to the front surface of the third adapter plate. The lower surface of the glue-applying gripper mounting plate is provided with N glue-applying grippers, where N is a positive integer. Each glue-applying gripper has two glue-applying claws. A sixth guide shaft is connected to the rear surface of the third adapter plate. The sixth guide shaft cooperates with a sixth linear bearing located on the lower surface of the second mounting plate. A third limiting plate is connected to the rear end of the sixth guide shaft. A third buffer is provided on the third limiting plate. The third buffer cooperates with a second pad located on the rear end face of the second mounting plate to limit the forward movement of the glue-applying claws.

[0014] A glue box is provided on the second base plate, and the glue box contains glue. A first support plate and a second support plate are provided opposite to each other on the second base plate on the left and right sides of the glue box. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the first support plate and the second support plate via bearings, respectively. The rotating shaft passes through the first support plate, the two side walls of the glue box and the second support plate in sequence. N glue-applying needles are spaced apart on the rotating shaft inside the glue box. When the glue-applying needles face downward, they can be immersed in glue, so that glue is coated on the side wall of the glue-applying needles. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to a swing cylinder via a coupling. The swing cylinder is mounted on a swing cylinder mounting plate. The swing cylinder mounting plate is connected to the second support plate via a connecting column. When the swing cylinder is driven to move, the glue-applying needles can rotate to face upward or downward.

[0015] The glue-applying claw can clamp the glue-applying needle after it has been glued, so that the glue-applying claw is coated with glue. The glue-applying claw clamps the end of the dripping funnel cap that is used for assembly with the diverter umbrella, thus realizing the glue-applying operation on the dripping funnel cap.

[0016] The beneficial effect of this solution is that the above-mentioned device for feeding and gluing the dripping bucket lid can quickly and efficiently feed the dripping bucket lid to the storage jig, and can apply glue to the end of the dripping bucket lid used for assembly with the diverter umbrella, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly and production of the defoaming dripping bucket, that is, the subsequent assembly of the diverter umbrella and the dripping bucket lid.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The specific embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe or indicate a specific order or sequence. The terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0033] like Figures 1-13 As shown, the device for feeding and applying adhesive to a dripping hopper lid according to this application includes a worktable i. A drive mechanism j is provided at the center of the worktable i. The drive mechanism j can drive a rotating plate k to rotate. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism j may include a motor and a cam box. The turntable of the cam box is connected to the rotating plate k. By controlling the operation of the motor, the rotating plate k can be rotated. The device for feeding and applying adhesive to a dripping hopper lid also includes a fixed plate m. The fixed plate m is located above the rotating plate k and is stationary relative to the worktable i. Specifically, the fixed plate m can be fixed to the worktable i by a connector. The fixed plate m can also be fixed to the fixed plate of the cam box. A plurality of storage jigs n are provided at equal intervals along the circumference on the rotating plate k. The storage jigs n are used to store materials.

[0034] Specifically, the material storage fixture n includes a clamping base plate n1 fixed to the upper surface of the rotating plate k.

[0035] When it is necessary to open the tire, the first lifting plate n5 and the second lifting plate n7 are lifted simultaneously by external force. The first return spring n12 and the second return spring n13 are compressed. Then, the clamping top plate n10 can slide along the third guide shaft n9 by using the relevant tire opening station until the clamping top plate n10 is misaligned with each material discharge slot n2. Then, the external force is removed. Under the action of the first return spring n12 and the second return spring n13, the first lifting plate n5 and the second lifting plate n7 descend. At this time, each material discharge slot n2 is exposed for receiving materials. When it is necessary to join the tires, the first lifting plate n5 and the second lifting plate n7 are lifted simultaneously by external force. The first return spring n12 and the second return spring n13 are compressed. Then, the clamping top plate n10 can slide along the third guide shaft n9 using the relevant tire joining position until it slides to each material discharge slot n2. After that, the external force is removed. Under the action of the first return spring n12 and the second return spring n13, the first lifting plate n5 and the second lifting plate n7 descend until each upper receiving hole n11 is engaged with each material discharge slot n2 to clamp the material.
