Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material packing, and particularly relates to a clamping and direction-changing packing device for veterinary medicine bottles and a packing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Veterinary medicine bottles, as carriers of veterinary drugs, have been widely used. After large-volume injections are filled, they are conveyed to the packing station by a conveyor belt, and several veterinary medicine bottles are clamped by a packing fixture and placed into a box for storage.

[0003] In the actual production process, in order to increase the number of veterinary medicine bottles in the box, the veterinary medicine bottles are usually placed horizontally and stacked upward in sequence. However, for this complex process, only manual packing can be carried out. To solve this problem, the prior art provides a published document with the publication number CN113443193A and the invention name of a medicine bottle packing machine and its method. This patent respectively completes steps such as laying down the medicine bottles, aligning and adjusting the quantity, and the clamping device through a bottle body laying-down device, a misalignment adjustment device, a medicine bottle picking device, etc. Although it can effectively improve the packing efficiency, the packing process is independent and scattered, and the packing efficiency is still slow. Moreover, its medicine bottle picking device cannot stably clamp a whole row of medicine bottles. Even if a manipulator is used to clamp and pack a whole row of medicine bottles, it is directly placed horizontally downward, which is likely to cause extrusion force to the medicine bottles themselves and damage the medicine bottles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a clamping and direction-changing packing device for veterinary medicine bottles and a packing method thereof. By adopting this solution, the clamping and direction-changing packing of veterinary medicine bottles can be quickly realized through the rotation and direction change of the clamping assembly, and the direction adjustment of the veterinary medicine bottles is realized through the mutual cooperation of the bottleneck clamping piece and the cone part supporting piece, which is convenient for the inclined placement of the veterinary medicine bottles, thereby reducing the downward extrusion pressure while improving the packing efficiency.

[0005] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A clamping and direction-changing packing device for veterinary medicine bottles, comprising:

[0007] A first rotation driving member;

[0008] A first telescopic driving member, and the first rotation driving member is used to drive the first telescopic driving member to rotate;

[0009] A plurality of clamping assemblies, and the plurality of clamping assemblies are arranged horizontally in sequence. The first rotation driving member is used to drive the plurality of clamping assemblies to change directions, and the first telescopic driving member is used to drive the plurality of clamping assemblies to expand and contract simultaneously;

[0010] The clamping assembly includes:

[0011] A bottleneck clamping member, which includes two arc-shaped chucks that can approach or move away from each other, and the clamping surfaces of the arc-shaped chucks are convex arc surfaces;

[0012] A cone part supporting member, which includes two rods respectively corresponding to the two arc-shaped chucks. The two rods are located on the same side of the arc-shaped chucks, and the two rods can move synchronously in a direction away from or towards the arc-shaped chucks; the lower ends of the rods are connected to one end of a supporting plate, and the other end of the supporting plate extends in a direction away from the arc-shaped chucks; the other end of the supporting plate is provided with an arc-shaped supporting surface for guiding on the cone part of the veterinary medicine bottle, and the arc-shaped supporting surface bends upward along the length direction of the supporting plate; the distance between the two rods is greater than the distance between the inner sides of the two arc-shaped chucks and less than the diameter of the body of the veterinary medicine bottle.

[0013] In the prior art, the packing process is independent and scattered, and the packing efficiency is still relatively slow. Moreover, the device for picking and placing medicine bottles cannot stably hold a whole row of medicine bottles. Even when a manipulator is used to hold and pack a whole row of medicine bottles, they are directly placed horizontally downward, which is likely to cause extrusion pressure on the medicine bottles themselves and damage the medicine bottles. The present invention provides a veterinary medicine bottle clamping and direction-changing packing device and its packing method. With this solution, the clamping and direction-changing packing of veterinary medicine bottles can be quickly achieved through the rotation and direction change of the clamping assembly, and the direction adjustment of the veterinary medicine bottles is realized through the mutual cooperation of the bottleneck clamping member and the conical part supporting member, which facilitates the inclined placement of the veterinary medicine bottles, thereby reducing the downward extrusion while improving the packing efficiency. In a specific solution, it includes a first rotary drive member for driving the clamping assembly to change direction, and a first telescopic drive member for driving the clamping assembly to extend or retract. A plurality of clamping assemblies are arranged in sequence along the transverse direction. In the present invention, the transverse direction is the arrangement direction of a row of veterinary medicine bottles, the longitudinal direction is the direction perpendicular to the arrangement, and the vertical direction is the height direction. The arrangement of a plurality of clamping assemblies is used to synchronously hold a plurality of veterinary medicine bottles in a row. In order to prevent the clamping assembly from excessively blocking the circumferential side of the medicine bottle during the clamping process and affecting the placement and arrangement process, the clamping assembly includes a bottleneck clamping member and a conical part supporting member. Among them, the bottleneck clamping member can drive two arc-shaped clamping heads to approach or move away from each other through a driving device to complete the stable clamping of the bottleneck of the veterinary medicine bottle. The clamping surface of the arc-shaped clamping head is a convex arc surface, that is, this arc surface is similar to the side wall of a pipe, and the veterinary medicine bottle is clamped through the arc vertex, so as to facilitate the veterinary medicine bottle to have an inclined space when adjusting the inclination angle. The conical part in the present invention is the conical part on the veterinary medicine bottle that is connected to the bottleneck, and the conical part is located between the bottleneck and the bottle body. The conical part is supported by the conical part supporting member to improve the stability of the veterinary medicine bottle during transportation and facilitate the adjustment of the inclination angle of the veterinary medicine bottle. Among them, the conical part supporting member includes two rods corresponding to the arc-shaped clamping heads. Driven by the driving device, the two rods can move synchronously in a direction away from or close to the arc-shaped clamping heads. A supporting plate is provided at the lower end of the rod, and an arc-shaped supporting surface is provided at the end of the supporting plate. In this way, after the bottleneck clamping member is stably clamped, the rod can be driven to move towards the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle, so that the arc-shaped supporting surface gradually supports on the surface of the conical part, and under the guiding action of the arc surface, the veterinary medicine bottle is gradually lifted by the arc-shaped supporting surface, thereby realizing the adjustment of the inclination angle of the veterinary medicine bottle. The angle adjustment makes the bottom of the veterinary medicine bottle incline downward by 5-15°.In addition, the distance between the two rods is greater than the distance between the inner sides of the two arc-shaped chucks and less than the diameter of the body of the veterinary medicine bottle. While facilitating the insertion of the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle, it can ensure that adjacent clamping assemblies do not interfere with each other. Therefore, several clamping assemblies of the present invention only clamp and support the bottleneck and conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle, and there are no components at the remaining circumferential positions of the veterinary medicine bottle itself. In this way, during the clamping and lowering process, a small gap can always be maintained between adjacent veterinary medicine bottles, thereby increasing the number of veterinary medicine bottles inside the box and facilitating the stacking of veterinary medicine bottles.

[0014] In a further embodiment, to facilitate adaptation to conical parts of different sizes of veterinary medicine bottles, the other end of the support plate is provided with a cone. The large-diameter end of the cone is arranged towards one end of the support plate, and the arc-shaped support surface is the side surface of the cone. The side surface of the cone is a convex arc surface. In this solution, the unit formed by its arc-shaped support surface is similar to a cone, preferably a quarter cone, and its side surface is a convex arc surface. The bottom of the cone is the guiding starting point. Therefore, through the cone with a convex side surface, the conical parts of veterinary medicine bottles with different diameters can be guided and supported; that is, any point on the side wall of the cone can be a support point.

[0015] In a further embodiment, to prevent the opening and closing strokes of the two arc-shaped chucks from being too large and affecting the opening and closing of adjacent arc-shaped chucks, the two arc-shaped chucks have a clamping space after being closed, and the opening and closing ends of the clamping space are open. Among them, the size of the opening is limited, and it is necessary to ensure that the two arc-shaped chucks can stably clamp the bottleneck by more than 180°.

[0016] In a further embodiment, as a specific driving method for rotation and direction change and to facilitate horizontal adjustment of the clamping station, the first rotation driving member includes a U-shaped mounting plate and a first rotation motor. A first slide rail is rotatably connected in the groove of the U-shaped mounting plate. First rotation motors are fixed outside both side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate, and both ends of the first slide rail are connected to the output ends of the first rotation motors;

[0017] A first slider and a driving motor are provided on the first slide rail. The driving motor is used to drive the first slider to slide horizontally; an intermediate plate is arranged on the first slider, and several clamping assemblies are arranged on the intermediate plate. In this solution, mounting grooves are provided on both side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate, which facilitates the installation of the first rotation motor inside; both ends of the first slide rail can be rotatably connected to both side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate through rotating parts, such as bearings, and the output ends of the first rotation motors are connected to both ends of the first slide rail to synchronously drive the first slide rail to rotate, so that the veterinary medicine bottle rotates from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. In addition, a rotation motor and a chain can also be arranged on the first slide rail. The rotation motor drives the chain to move, and the chain drives the first slider to slide. In this way, the positions of several clamping assemblies can be horizontally adjusted.

[0018] A further solution is to adjust the distance between adjacent clamping components according to the size of the veterinary medicine bottle body and facilitate the stacking of odd and even veterinary medicine bottles. A second slide rail is provided on the side of the middle plate away from the first slider, and a number of second sliders are successively provided on the second slide rail. Each clamping component is connected to a second slider; a second telescopic driving member is provided between adjacent second sliders, and the second telescopic driving member is used to change the distance between adjacent second sliders; one of the second sliders located on the outermost side is fixed on the second slide rail;

[0019] The bottom of the second slider fixed on the second slide rail is provided with a rotating disc, the clamping component is connected to the rotating disc, and the rotating disc is used to drive the clamping component to rotate so that the clamping component switches between the horizontal clamping direction and the vertical clamping direction. In this solution, through the second slide rail and a number of second sliders, a number of clamping components are successively installed horizontally. Since one of the outermost second sliders is fixed, the distance between adjacent clamping components can be changed under the driving action of a number of second telescopic driving members; the second telescopic driving member can be components such as a telescopic cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder. In addition, a rotating disc is provided at the bottom of the second slider fixed on the outermost side. The rotating disc can be rotatably connected to the bottom of the second slider, and a rotating motor is provided in the second slider, similar to a camera rotating base, which is prior art and will not be elaborated here. Since the clamping component as a whole is strip-shaped, under the 90° rotation drive of the rotating disc, the clamping component can change from the long side to the short side in the horizontal direction; thus, when it is necessary to stack the second layer of veterinary medicine bottles on the first layer of veterinary medicine bottles in the box, at this time, since the quantity is reduced by one, such as changing from an odd number to an even number, the outermost clamping component can be inoperative and does not need to be clamped. After rotating the outermost clamping component to change from the long side to the short side, then retracting the second telescopic driving member of the outermost clamping component can minimize the width of the outermost clamping component as much as possible to avoid the side wall of the box. When stacking even-numbered veterinary medicine bottles, all clamping components can enter the box, and the outermost clamping component can also enter the remaining space due to the reduced width.

[0020] A further solution is to facilitate the telescoping of the clamping component. The clamping component further includes a first flat plate and a second flat plate. The first flat plate is connected to a first rotation driving member through a connecting block; the second flat plate is arranged on the side of the first flat plate away from the first rotation driving member; the second flat plate is connected to the first flat plate through a number of first guide rods, and all the first guide rods slide through the first flat plate;

[0021] The first telescopic driving member is fixed on the first flat plate, and its driving end is connected to the second flat plate. In this solution, the first telescopic driving member can preferably be a telescopic cylinder. An installation through-hole is provided on the first flat plate so that the first telescopic driving member is fixed in the installation through-hole, and its output end is connected to the second flat plate. The second flat plate is a long strip plate. A plurality of first guide rods are arranged between the first flat plate and the second flat plate to improve the moving stability of the second flat plate.

[0022] In a further solution, as a specific implementation manner for driving the two arc-shaped chucks to clamp, a long strip through-hole is provided in the middle of the second flat plate. Both of the arc-shaped chucks are provided with extension segments, and the extension segments are used to pass through the long strip through-hole and are slidably connected to the long strip through-hole.

[0023] A second rotating motor and a stabilizing block are further provided on the second flat plate. The second rotating motor and the stabilizing block are respectively located at both ends of the long strip through-hole. A bidirectional screw rod is provided on the output end of the second rotating motor. The bidirectional screw rod sequentially passes through the two extension segments and is rotatably connected to the stabilizing block. The two threaded segments of the bidirectional screw rod are respectively threadedly connected to the two extension segments. In this solution, a threaded hole is horizontally opened in the extension segment, and a horizontal slider is horizontally arranged below the threaded hole. Horizontal sliding grooves are arranged on both sides inside the long strip through-hole. Through the sliding fit of the horizontal slider and the horizontal sliding grooves, it is convenient for the two arc-shaped chucks to slide on the long strip through-hole. The output end of the second rotating motor is a bidirectional screw rod, which has two threads in opposite directions. Therefore, by rotating the bidirectional screw rod, the two arc-shaped chucks can be driven to approach or move away from each other.

[0024] In a further solution, as a specific implementation manner for driving the conical part supporting member to move, a third slider and a third rotating motor are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the second flat plate. The third slider is slidably connected to the bottom of the second flat plate. The third rotating motor is used to drive the third slider to move in a direction away from or close to the arc-shaped chuck. The upper end of the rod member is connected to the third slider.

[0025] The output end of the third rotating motor is connected to the third slider through a lead screw, and the housing of the third rotating motor is slidably connected to the third slider through a second guide rod. In this solution, longitudinal sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the second flat plate, and the third slider is slidably connected to the longitudinal sliding grooves. The two third rotating motors are respectively fixed on both sides of the bottom of the second flat plate. The lead screw of the third rotating motor is threadedly connected to the third slider, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the third slider. Therefore, under the rotation of the lead screw, the third slider can be driven to move back and forth, so as to facilitate the support and angle adjustment of the conical part supporting member.

[0026] For a further solution, in order to facilitate displacement in multiple directions and achieve rapid boxing, a carrying device is further included. The carrying device includes a bottom plate, a lifting unit, and a positioning unit; the bottom plate is used to place the box body; the lifting unit is arranged on the bottom plate; the lifting unit is used to drive the positioning unit to lift and lower; the positioning unit is provided with a longitudinal slide rail, and the first rotary driving member is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail through a longitudinal slider. In this solution, a conveying device is further included. The conveying device is used to sequentially convey several columns of veterinary medicine bottles to the clamping station. The conveying device is a conveyor belt. One groove or several communicating grooves can be arranged in each column on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt to facilitate placing the veterinary medicine bottles in the grooves, thereby positioning the initial position of a column of veterinary medicine bottles; a carrying device is arranged at the end of the conveying device. In the carrying device, its bottom is a bottom plate, which is used to temporarily fix and place the box body, such as clamping the box body through clamping on both sides; the lifting unit can adopt a lifting cylinder, and an L-shaped plate is arranged at the output end of the lifting cylinder. The vertical side of the L-shaped plate is fixed to the output end of the lifting cylinder, and the horizontal side is provided with a longitudinal slide rail, and the first rotary driving member is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail through a longitudinal slider. As described above, through the longitudinal displacement of the longitudinal slider, the lateral displacement of the first slider, the vertical displacement of the lifting unit, and the rotary drive of the first rotary driving member, four-axis displacement can be achieved; and then through the drive of the second slider and the first telescopic driving member, fine adjustment can be completed.

[0027] For a further solution, the present invention also provides a boxing method for a veterinary medicine bottle clamping and direction-changing boxing device, including the following steps:

[0028] S1: At the output end of the conveying device is the clamping station. Along the length direction of the conveying surface of the conveying device, several columns are sequentially placed. Each column includes several veterinary medicine bottles, and the direction of each column is perpendicular to the length direction of the conveying device;

[0029] S2: A carrying device is also arranged beside the clamping station. The carrying device includes a bottom plate, a lifting unit, and a positioning unit; the bottom plate is used to place the box body; the lifting unit is arranged on the bottom plate; the lifting unit is used to drive the positioning unit to lift and lower; the positioning unit is provided with a longitudinal slide rail, and the first rotary driving member is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail through a longitudinal slider;

[0030] When a column of veterinary medicine bottles reaches the clamping station, control several clamping components to move along the horizontal plane to the clamping station through the longitudinal slide rail until several bottleneck clamping members respectively clamp the bottlenecks of several veterinary medicine bottles. At this time, the conical part supporting member also extends into the bottleneck position of the veterinary medicine bottles;

[0031] S3: Control several clamping components to withdraw from the clamping station, and drive several clamping components to rotate through the first rotary driving member, so that the clamped veterinary medicine bottles gradually change from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction;

[0032] At this time, the synchronous drive moves the conical part support towards the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle, so that the arc-shaped support surface supports on the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle, and through forward and backward movement, the arc-shaped support surface adjusts the angle of the veterinary medicine bottle until the veterinary medicine bottle is adjusted to an inclined state with the bottom facing downwards;

[0033] S4: Lower a number of clamping components through the lifting unit, so that the clamped veterinary medicine bottles enter the box body. When the lower ends of the veterinary medicine bottles first move in place, at this time, overall control the number of clamping components to move towards the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle and lower synchronously, so that the veterinary medicine bottles are finally horizontal and retreat to the designated position;

[0034] S5: Control the number of clamping components to move towards the neck direction of the veterinary medicine bottle to the initial clamping position, then open the bottleneck clamp, and lift the clamping components, then the horizontal placement of a row of veterinary medicine bottles can be completed;

[0035] S6: Repeat steps S1 - S5, then the horizontal placement of several rows of veterinary medicine bottles can be completed in sequence.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. A veterinary medicine bottle clamping and direction-changing boxing equipment and its boxing method provided by the present invention. Adopting this solution, it can quickly realize the clamping and direction-changing boxing of veterinary medicine bottles through the rotation and direction change of the clamping components, and through the mutual cooperation of the bottleneck clamp and the conical part support to realize the direction adjustment of the veterinary medicine bottles, which is convenient for the inclined placement of the veterinary medicine bottles, thereby reducing the downward extrusion while improving the boxing efficiency;

[0038] 2. A veterinary medicine bottle clamping and direction-changing boxing equipment and its boxing method provided by the present invention can make two adjacent clamping components not interfere with each other while facilitating the insertion of the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle; therefore, several clamping components of the present invention only clamp and support at the bottleneck and conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle, and there are no components at the remaining circumferential positions of the veterinary medicine bottle itself. In this way, during the clamping and placement process, it can ensure that there is always a small gap between adjacent veterinary medicine bottles, thereby increasing the number of veterinary medicine bottles inside the box and also facilitating the stacking of veterinary medicine bottles;

[0039] 3. A veterinary medicine bottle clamping and direction-changing boxing equipment and its boxing method provided by the present invention. The unit formed by the arc-shaped support surface is similar to a conical body, preferably a quarter conical body, and its side surface is a convex arc surface. The bottom of the conical body is the guiding starting point. Therefore, through the conical body with a convex side surface, it can guide and support the conical parts of veterinary medicine bottles with different diameters; that is, any point on the side wall of the conical body can be the support point;

[0040] 4. The veterinary medicine bottle clamping and direction-changing boxing equipment and its boxing method provided by the present invention. Since the clamping assembly is in a long strip shape as a whole, under the 90° rotation drive of the rotating disk, the clamping assembly can change from the long side to the short side in the horizontal direction. In this way, when it is necessary to stack the second layer of veterinary medicine bottles on the first layer of veterinary medicine bottles in the box, at this time, since the quantity is reduced by one, such as changing from an odd number to an even number, the outermost clamping assembly can be inoperative and does not need to clamp. By rotating the outermost clamping assembly, it changes from the long side to the short side. At this time, by retracting the second telescopic driving member of the outermost clamping assembly, the width of the outermost clamping assembly can be reduced as much as possible to avoid the side wall of the box. When stacking an even number of veterinary medicine bottles, all clamping assemblies can enter the box, and the outermost clamping assembly can also enter the remaining space due to its reduced width.

[0041] 5. The veterinary medicine bottle clamping and direction-changing boxing equipment and its boxing method provided by the present invention can achieve four-axis displacement through the longitudinal displacement of the longitudinal slider, the transverse displacement of the first slider, the vertical displacement of the lifting unit, and the rotational drive of the first rotational drive member; and then through the drive of the second slider and the first telescopic drive member, fine adjustment can be completed.

Detailed implementation manners

[0056] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in combination with embodiments and drawings. The illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are only used to explain the present invention and do not limit the present invention.

[0057] Embodiment 1: Embodiment 1 provides a veterinary medicine bottle clamping and direction-changing boxing device, as Figures 1-11 shown, including:

[0058] A first rotation driving member 1;

[0059] A first telescopic driving member 2, and the first rotation driving member 1 is used to drive the first telescopic driving member 2 to rotate;

[0060] A number of clamping components 3, a number of the clamping components 3 are arranged horizontally in sequence, the first rotation driving member 1 is used to drive a number of the clamping components 3 to change directions, and the first telescopic driving member 2 is used to drive a number of the clamping components 3 to expand and contract simultaneously;

The two rods 302 are located on the same side of the arc-shaped chuck 301, and the two rods 302 can move synchronously in a direction away from or close to the arc-shaped chuck 301; the lower ends of the two rods 302 are connected to one end of a support plate 303, and the other end of the support plate 303 extends in a direction away from the arc-shaped chuck 301; the other end of the support plate 303 is provided with an arc-shaped support surface for guiding on the cone part of the veterinary medicine bottle 6, and the arc-shaped support surface is bent upward along the length direction of the support plate 303; the distance between the two rods 302 is greater than the distance between the inner sides of the two arc-shaped chucks 301 and less than the diameter of the body of the veterinary medicine bottle 6.

[0064] In the prior art, the packing process is independent and scattered, and the packing efficiency is still relatively slow. Moreover, the device for picking and holding medicine bottles cannot stably hold a whole row of medicine bottles. Even if a manipulator is used to hold and pack a whole row of medicine bottles, they are directly placed horizontally downward, which is likely to cause extrusion pressure on the medicine bottles themselves and damage the medicine bottles. The present invention provides a clamping and direction-changing packing device for veterinary medicine bottles 6 and a packing method thereof. By adopting this solution, the clamping and direction-changing packing of veterinary medicine bottles 6 can be quickly realized through the rotation and direction change of the clamping assembly 3, and the direction adjustment of the veterinary medicine bottles 6 is realized through the mutual cooperation of the bottleneck clamping member and the conical part supporting member, which is convenient for the inclined placement of the veterinary medicine bottles 6, thereby reducing the downward extrusion while improving the packing efficiency. In a specific solution, it includes a first rotation driving member 1 for driving the clamping assembly 3 to change direction, and a first telescopic driving member 2 for driving the clamping assembly 3 to extend or retract. A plurality of clamping assemblies 3 are arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction. The horizontal direction described in the present invention is the arrangement direction of a row of veterinary medicine bottles 6, the vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the arrangement, and the vertical direction is the height direction. The arrangement of a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 is used to synchronously hold a plurality of veterinary medicine bottles 6 in a row. In order to prevent the clamping assembly 3 from excessively blocking the periphery of the veterinary medicine bottles 6 during the clamping process and affecting the downward placement and arrangement process, the clamping assembly 3 includes a bottleneck clamping member and a conical part supporting member. Among them, the two arc-shaped clamping heads 301 in the bottleneck clamping member can be driven by a driving device to move closer to or away from each other to complete the stable clamping of the bottleneck of the veterinary medicine bottle 6. The clamping surface of the arc-shaped clamping head 301 is a convex arc surface, that is, this arc surface is similar to the side wall of a pipe, and the veterinary medicine bottle 6 is clamped through the arc vertex, so as to provide a space for the veterinary medicine bottle 6 to tilt when adjusting the tilt angle. The conical part described in the present invention is the conical part on the veterinary medicine bottle 6 that is connected to the bottleneck, and the conical part is located between the bottleneck and the bottle body. The conical part is supported by the conical part supporting member to improve the stability of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 during transportation and facilitate the adjustment of the tilt angle of the veterinary medicine bottle 6. The conical part supporting member includes two rods 302 corresponding to the arc-shaped clamping heads 301. Driven by the driving device, the two rods 302 can move synchronously in a direction away from or close to the arc-shaped clamping heads 301. A supporting plate 303 is provided at the lower end of the rod 302, and an arc-shaped supporting surface is provided at the end of the supporting plate 303. In this way, after the bottleneck clamping member clamps stably, the rod 302 can be driven to move towards the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle 6, so that the arc-shaped supporting surface gradually supports on the surface of the conical part, and under the guiding action of the arc surface, the veterinary medicine bottle 6 is gradually lifted by the arc-shaped supporting surface, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tilt angle of the veterinary medicine bottle 6. The angle adjustment makes the bottom of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 tilt downward by 5-15°.In addition, the distance between the two rods 302 is greater than the distance between the inner sides of the two arc-shaped chucks 301 and less than the diameter of the body of the veterinary medicine bottle 6. While facilitating the insertion of the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle 6, it can ensure that two adjacent clamping assemblies 3 do not interfere with each other. Therefore, several clamping assemblies 3 of the present invention only clamp and support the bottleneck and conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle 6, and there are no components at the remaining circumferential positions of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 itself. In this way, during the clamping and lowering processes, it can ensure that there is always a small gap between adjacent veterinary medicine bottles 6, thereby increasing the number of veterinary medicine bottles 6 inside the box 7 and facilitating the stacking of veterinary medicine bottles 6.

[0065] In some possible embodiments, to facilitate adaptation to the conical parts of veterinary medicine bottles 6 of different sizes, the other end of the supporting plate 303 is provided with a cone 304. The large-diameter end of the cone 304 is arranged towards one end of the supporting plate 303, and the arc-shaped supporting surface is the side surface of the cone 304, and the side surface of the cone 304 is a convex arc surface. In this solution, the unit formed by its arc-shaped supporting surface is similar to the cone 304, preferably a quarter cone 304, and its side surface is a convex arc surface. The bottom of the cone 304 is the guiding starting point. Therefore, through the cone 304 with a convex side surface, the conical parts of veterinary medicine bottles 6 with different diameters can be guided and supported; that is, any point on the side wall of the cone 304 can be a supporting point position.

[0066] In some possible embodiments, to prevent the opening and closing strokes of the two arc-shaped chucks 301 from being too large and affecting the opening and closing of adjacent arc-shaped chucks 301, the two arc-shaped chucks 301 have a clamping space after being closed, and the opening and closing ends of the clamping space are open. Among them, the size of the opening is limited, and it is necessary to ensure that the two arc-shaped chucks 301 can stably clamp the bottleneck by more than 180°.

[0067] In some possible embodiments, as a specific driving method for rotation and direction change and to facilitate horizontal adjustment of the clamping station, the first rotation driving member 1 includes a U-shaped mounting plate 101 and a first rotation motor 102. A first slide rail 103 is rotatably connected in the slot of the U-shaped mounting plate 101. First rotation motors 102 are fixed outside both side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate 101, and both ends of the first slide rail 103 are connected to the output ends of the first rotation motors 102;

[0068] The first slide rail 103 is provided with a first slider 104 and a driving motor, and the driving motor is used to drive the first slider 104 to slide horizontally; an intermediate plate 105 is arranged on the first slider 104, and a plurality of the clamping assemblies 3 are arranged on the intermediate plate 105. In this solution, both side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate 101 are provided with mounting grooves, so as to facilitate the installation of the first rotating motor 102 therein; both ends of the first slide rail 103 can be rotatably connected to the side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate 101 through rotating members, such as bearings, and the output end of the first rotating motor 102 is connected to both ends of the first slide rail 103 to synchronously drive the first slide rail 103 to rotate, so that the veterinary medicine bottle 6 rotates from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. In addition, a rotating motor and a chain can also be arranged on the first slide rail 103, and the rotating motor drives the chain to move, and the chain then drives the first slider 104 to slide. In this way, the positions of a plurality of the clamping assemblies 3 can be adjusted horizontally.

[0069] In some possible embodiments, in order to adjust the distance between adjacent clamping assemblies 3 according to the size of the body of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 and facilitate the stacking of odd and even veterinary medicine bottles 6, a second slide rail 106 is provided on the side of the intermediate plate 105 away from the first slider 104, and a plurality of second sliders 107 are sequentially arranged on the second slide rail 106, and each clamping assembly 3 is connected to a second slider 107; a second telescopic driving member 108 is arranged between adjacent second sliders 107, and the second telescopic driving member 108 is used to change the distance between adjacent second sliders 107; one of the second sliders 107 located on the outermost side is fixed on the second slide rail 106;

[0070] The bottom of the second slider 107 fixed on the second slide rail 106 is provided with a rotating disk 109. The clamping assembly 3 is connected to the rotating disk 109. The rotating disk 109 is used to drive the clamping assembly 3 to rotate, so that the clamping assembly 3 can switch between the horizontal clamping and the vertical clamping directions. In this solution, through the second slide rail 106 and a plurality of second sliders 107, a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 are horizontally installed in sequence. Since the outermost second slider 107 is fixed, the distance between adjacent clamping assemblies 3 can be changed under the driving action of a plurality of second telescopic driving members 108. The second telescopic driving member 108 can be a component such as a telescopic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. In addition, the bottom of the outermost fixed second slider 107 is provided with a rotating disk 109. The rotating disk 109 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second slider 107, and a rotating motor is arranged in the second slider 107, which is similar to a camera rotating base. This is prior art and will not be elaborated here. Since the clamping assembly 3 is integrally long strip-shaped, under the 90° rotation drive of the rotating disk 109, the clamping assembly 3 can change from the long side to the short side in the horizontal direction. In this way, when it is necessary to stack the second layer of veterinary medicine bottles 6 on the first layer of veterinary medicine bottles 6 in the box body 7, at this time, since the quantity is reduced by one, such as changing from an odd number to an even number, the outermost clamping assembly 3 can be inoperative and does not need to clamp. By rotating the outermost clamping assembly 3 from the long side to the short side, and then retracting the second telescopic driving member 108 of the outermost clamping assembly 3, the width of the outermost clamping assembly 3 can be reduced as much as possible to avoid the side wall of the box body 7. When an even number of veterinary medicine bottles 6 are stacked, all the clamping assemblies 3 can enter the box body 7, and the outermost clamping assembly 3 can also enter the remaining space due to the reduced width.

[0071] In some possible embodiments, to facilitate the telescoping of the clamping assembly 3, the clamping assembly 3 further includes a first flat plate 305 and a second flat plate 306. The first flat plate 305 is connected to the first rotation driving member 1 through a connecting block 313. The second flat plate 306 is arranged on a side of the first flat plate 305 away from the first rotation driving member 1. The second flat plate 306 is connected to the first flat plate 305 through a plurality of first guide rods 307, and all the first guide rods 307 slide through the first flat plate 305.

[0072] The first telescopic driving member 2 is fixed on the first flat plate 305, and its driving end is connected to the second flat plate 306. In this solution, the first telescopic driving member 2 can preferably be a telescopic cylinder. An installation through hole is arranged on the first flat plate 305 to fix the first telescopic driving member 2 in the installation through hole. Its output end is connected to the second flat plate 306, and the second flat plate 306 is a long strip plate. A plurality of first guide rods 307 are arranged between the first flat plate 305 and the second flat plate 306 to improve the movement stability of the second flat plate 306.

[0073] In some possible embodiments, as a specific implementation manner of driving the two arc-shaped chucks 301 to clamp, a long strip through-hole is provided in the middle of the second flat plate 306, and extension segments 3011 are provided on both of the two arc-shaped chucks 301. The extension segments 3011 are used to pass through the long strip through-hole and are slidably connected to the long strip through-hole;

[0074] A second rotary motor 308 and a stabilizing block 309 are further provided on the second flat plate 306. The second rotary motor 308 and the stabilizing block 309 are respectively located at both ends of the long strip through-hole; a bidirectional screw 310 is provided on the output end of the second rotary motor 308. The bidirectional screw 310 sequentially passes through the two extension segments 3011 and is rotatably connected to the stabilizing block 309; the two threaded segments of the bidirectional screw 310 are respectively threadedly connected to the two extension segments 3011. In this solution, a threaded hole is horizontally opened in the extension segment 3011, and a horizontal slider is horizontally arranged below the threaded hole. Horizontal sliding grooves are arranged on both sides inside the long strip through-hole. Through the sliding adaptation of the horizontal slider and the horizontal sliding grooves, it is convenient for the two arc-shaped chucks 301 to slide on the long strip through-hole; the output end of the second rotary motor 308 is a bidirectional screw 310, which has two threads in opposite directions. Therefore, by rotating the bidirectional screw 310, the two arc-shaped chucks 301 can be driven to approach or move away from each other.

[0075] In some possible embodiments, as a specific implementation manner of driving the cone-shaped supporting member to move, third sliders 311 and third rotary motors 312 are further respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the second flat plate 306. The third sliders 311 are slidably connected to the bottom of the second flat plate 306. The third rotary motor 312 is used to drive the third sliders 311 to move in a direction away from or close to the arc-shaped chucks 301; the upper end of the rod member 302 is connected to the third sliders 311;

[0076] The output end of the third rotary motor 312 is connected to the third sliders 311 through a lead screw, and the housing of the third rotary motor 312 is slidably connected to the third sliders 311 through a second guide rod. In this solution, longitudinal sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the second flat plate 306, and the third sliders 311 are slidably connected to the longitudinal sliding grooves. The two third rotary motors 312 are respectively fixed on both sides of the bottom of the second flat plate 306. The lead screws of the third rotary motors 312 are threadedly connected to the third sliders 311, and the guide rods are slidably connected to the third sliders 311. Therefore, under the rotation of the lead screws, the third sliders 311 can be driven to move back and forth, so as to facilitate the support and angle adjustment of the cone-shaped supporting member.

[0077] In some possible embodiments, to facilitate displacement in multiple directions and achieve rapid boxing, a carrying device 4 is further included. The carrying device 4 includes a bottom plate 401, a lifting unit 402, and a positioning unit 403. The bottom plate 401 is used to place the box body 7. The lifting unit 402 is arranged on the bottom plate 401. The lifting unit 402 is used to drive the positioning unit 403 to lift and lower. The positioning unit 403 is provided with a longitudinal slide rail 404, and the first rotary drive member 1 is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail 404 through a longitudinal slider 405. In this solution, a conveying device 5 is further included. The conveying device 5 is used to sequentially convey several columns of veterinary medicine bottles 6 to the clamping station. The conveying device 5 is a conveyor belt. One groove or several connected grooves can be arranged in each column on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt to facilitate placing the veterinary medicine bottles 6 in the grooves, so as to position the initial position of a column of veterinary medicine bottles 6. A carrying device 4 is arranged at the end of the conveying device 5. In the carrying device 4, its bottom is the bottom plate 401, which is used to temporarily fix and place the box body 7, such as clamping the box body 7 through clamping on both sides. The lifting unit 402 can adopt a lifting cylinder, and an L-shaped plate is arranged at the output end of the lifting cylinder. The vertical side of the L-shaped plate is fixed to the output end of the lifting cylinder, and the horizontal side is provided with a longitudinal slide rail 404. The first rotary drive member 1 is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail 404 through a longitudinal slider 405. As described above, through the longitudinal displacement of the longitudinal slider 405, the lateral displacement of the first slider 104, the vertical displacement of the lifting unit 402, and the rotary drive of the first rotary drive member 1, four-axis displacement can be achieved. Then, through the drive of the second slider 107 and the first telescopic drive member 2, fine adjustment can be completed.

[0078] Both the above-mentioned rod member 302 and the arc-shaped chuck 301 are made of metal materials.

[0079] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, this Embodiment 2 is further optimized to provide a boxing method for a veterinary medicine bottle 6 clamping and direction-changing boxing device, including the following specific steps:

[0080] Place several columns in sequence in the length direction of the conveying surface of the conveying device 5. Each column includes several veterinary medicine bottles 6. The conveying device 5 is used to sequentially convey several columns of veterinary medicine bottles 6 to the clamping station. The conveying device 5 is a conveyor belt. One groove or several connected grooves can be arranged in each column on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt to facilitate placing the veterinary medicine bottles 6 in the grooves, so as to position the initial position of a column of veterinary medicine bottles 6 and keep a relatively small gap between adjacent ones in a column of veterinary medicine bottles 6 all the time.

[0081] When a row of veterinary medicine bottles 6 reaches the clamping station, the clamping assembly 3 remains horizontal at this time, and the first slider 104 is driven to slide horizontally so that a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 are respectively corresponding to each veterinary medicine bottle 6; then the first telescopic driving member 2 is driven to extend so that a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 all extend into the bottleneck of the corresponding veterinary medicine bottle 6; at this time, the second rotating motor 308 is controlled to rotate so that the two arc-shaped clamping heads 301 clamp the bottleneck of the veterinary medicine bottle 6, that is, a plurality of bottleneck clamping members respectively clamp the bottlenecks of a plurality of veterinary medicine bottles 6, and at this time, the conical part supporting member also extends into the bottleneck position of the veterinary medicine bottle 6.

[0082] After the clamping is completed, the lifting unit 402 is used to control a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 to rise, and they are longitudinally moved along the longitudinal slider 405 so that the clamping assemblies 3 withdraw from the clamping station and are located above the box body 7; then the first rotating driving member 1 is used to drive a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 to rotate so that the clamping assemblies 3 are vertical, and the clamped veterinary medicine bottles 6 gradually change from vertical to horizontal;

[0083] During the rotation process, the conical part supporting member is synchronously driven to move towards the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 so that the arc-shaped supporting surface supports on the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle 6, and through the forward and backward movement, the arc-shaped supporting surface adjusts the angle of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 until the veterinary medicine bottle 6 is adjusted to an inclined state with the bottom facing downwards. Thus, it is avoided that the whole body of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 is squeezed when it is lowered, so as to reduce the downward pressure impact and facilitate the inclined lowering of the veterinary medicine bottle 6; an angle sensor can be arranged on the clamping assembly 3 to facilitate the real-time observation and control of the inclination angle.

[0084] After the inclination angle is adjusted, the lifting unit 402 is used to lower a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 so that the clamped plurality of veterinary medicine bottles 6 enter the box body 7. When the lower end of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 first moves in place, that is, when the inclination angle starts to change, since the veterinary medicine bottle 6 is in an inclined state, it is directly lowered, and the position of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 will shift forward by a moving distance. Therefore, at this time, the longitudinal slider 405 is used to integrally control a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 to move towards the conical part of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 and be lowered synchronously, so as to push the veterinary medicine bottle 6 backward while lowering, so that the veterinary medicine bottle 6 is finally horizontal and retreats to the designated position.

[0085] When the veterinary medicine bottle 6 is completely laid flat, the longitudinal slider 405 is used to integrally control a plurality of clamping assemblies 3 to move towards the neck direction of the veterinary medicine bottle 6 to the initial clamping position, then the bottleneck clamping member is opened, and the clamping assembly 3 is lifted, and thus the horizontal placement of a row of veterinary medicine bottles 6 can be completed.

[0086] Repeat steps S1 - S6, and the horizontal placement of several rows of veterinary medicine bottles 6 can be completed in sequence.

[0087] In the above repeated steps, when stacking veterinary medicine bottles 6 upwards, for example, when stacking the second layer of veterinary medicine bottles 6 on the first layer of veterinary medicine bottles 6 in the box body 7, at this time, since the quantity decreases by one, such as changing from an odd number to an even number, the outermost clamping assembly 3 may not function and there is no need for clamping. At this time, the outermost clamping assembly 3 is controlled by the rotary disk 109 to rotate, changing from the long side to the short side. Then, the second telescopic driving member 108 of the outermost clamping assembly 3 is retracted, so as to minimize the width of the outermost clamping assembly 3 as much as possible and avoid the side wall of the box body 7. When stacking an even number of veterinary medicine bottles 6, all the clamping assemblies 3 can enter the box body 7. Since the width of the outermost clamping assembly 3 becomes smaller, it can also enter the remaining space.

[0088] The specific embodiments described above further elaborate on the purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
