[0026] Embodiment

[0027] This embodiment provides an infusion bag packing manipulator, as Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, and the specific structure is described as follows.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 shown. The infusion bag packing manipulator of the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a main beam 1, supports 2, air claws 3, a mounting bracket 4 and suction cups. The main beam 1 is in a long strip shape, with a length, width and height of 318 mm * 40 mm * 12 mm respectively. A long strip-shaped through hole is provided at the center of the main beam 1.

[0029] It should be noted that when machining the main beam 1, the burrs on the surface of the main beam 1 are removed to improve the smoothness of the main beam 1, and surface polishing anodic oxidation treatment is performed to improve the surface corrosion resistance of the main beam 1.

[0030] Further, in combination with Figure 1 shown, two supports 2 are respectively installed on both sides of the long strip-shaped through hole on the main beam 1. The size of the support 2 is 40 mm * 10 mm * 54 mm. The two supports 2 are symmetrical to each other. The shape of the support 2 is U-shaped. Two through screw holes are provided on the support 2, and two corresponding screw holes are also provided on the main beam 1. When the support 2 and the main beam 1 are connected, long screws are inserted into the through hole and the screw holes to achieve fixation.

[0031] Further, the support 2 can be connected to a three-axis robotic arm. After connection, the three-axis robotic arm can drive the infusion bag packing manipulator to move, facilitating the packing operation of the infusion bags.

[0032] It should be noted that when machining the support 2, deburring and flashing removal are performed on the surface of the support 2 to improve its smoothness, and surface polishing anodic oxidation treatment is carried out to enhance the corrosion resistance of the surface of the support 2.

[0033] In some embodiments of this embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, both of the grippers 3 adopt the thin grippers in the prior art. The grippers 3 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the main beam 1 by screws. The two grippers 3 are symmetrical to each other. Two screw holes are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the main beam 1, and the screw holes correspond to the fixing holes at the top of the grippers 3. When fixing, the screws pass through the screw holes and the fixing holes, thereby realizing the fixed connection.

[0034] It should be noted that some of the screw holes on the main beam 1 are located at the notch position of the support 2, and the support 2 does not block the screw holes, with reasonable design and good use effect.

[0035] In some embodiments of this embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 as shown, the track of the gripper 3 is located at the bottom, and two sliders 301 are installed on each gripper 3. The two sliders 301 are symmetrical to each other and play a role in gripping.

[0036] Further, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, the mounting bracket 4 is installed at the bottom of the gripper 3. The mounting bracket 4 mainly includes three parts: a top plate 401, a bottom plate 402, and a side plate 403. The top plate 401 and the bottom plate 402 are both horizontal, the side plate 403 is vertical, the top end of the side plate 403 is connected to the side of the top plate 401, and the bottom end of the side plate 403 is connected to the side of the bottom plate 402. It should be noted that the top plate 401, the bottom plate 402, and the side plate 403 can be selected to be processed in an integrally formed manner. Moreover, the top plate 401 and the slider 301 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0037] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 404 is also installed. The top edge of the reinforcing plate 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 401, one side edge of the reinforcing plate 404 is fixedly connected to the side plate 403, and the bottom edge of the reinforcing plate 404 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the bottom plate 402. The reinforcing plate 404 can increase the strength and prevent the mounting bracket 4 from deforming after long-term use. The suction cup is installed on the mounting bracket 4, and the suction cup is connected to the cylinder. By attaching the suction cup tightly to the surface of the infusion bag and the cylinder extracting air to form negative pressure, the infusion bag can be lifted and moved.

[0038] It should be noted that in combination with Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, the surface of the reinforcing plate 404 is provided with weight-reducing holes to reduce weight and save materials. The surface of the mounting frame 4 is deburred, the acute angles are chamfered, and the corners are set as obtuse angles to avoid accidentally piercing the infusion bag due to excessive sharpness. The mounting frame 4 needs to grind the welds and perform wet spraying treatment with 120 meshes on the outer surface to make the surface uniform and beautiful.

[0039] The working principle of the infusion bag packing manipulator according to the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0040] During use, the infusion bag is transported by the assembly line conveyor belt to the predetermined packing position. The infusion bag packing manipulator is driven by the shaft manipulator to move. The mounting frame 4 approaches the infusion bag, the suction cup clings to the surface of the infusion bag and tightly adsorbs it. Then the infusion bag packing manipulator moves into the packing box and the suction cup releases the infusion bag to complete the packing of the infusion bag. Mechanical packing is not easy to squeeze and break the infusion bag containing liquid, and the packing quality is better. The opening degree of the two sliders 301 can be controlled by the air gripper 3, and thus the distance between the suction cups can be controlled. For larger infusion bags, the sliders 301 can have a larger distance, and for smaller infusion bags, the sliders 301 can have a smaller distance, which is convenient for stably extracting infusion bags of different sizes, has a wide application range, and has a good use effect.

[0041] The present invention provides an infusion bag packing manipulator, which includes a main beam 1. Supports 2 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the main beam 1. Air grippers 3 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the main beam 1. The air grippers 3 are connected with sliders 301. The sliders 301 are connected with a mounting frame 4. The mounting frame 4 is provided with a suction cup for sucking the infusion bag. The mounting frame 4 includes a top plate 401 connected with the slider 301, and further includes a bottom plate 402 connected with the suction cup. The top plate 401 is provided with side plates 403 connecting the bottom plate 402. The mounting frames 4 connected by the two sliders 301 of the same air gripper 3 are symmetrical to each other. The mounting frame 4 further includes a reinforcing plate 404 connected with the top plate 401, the bottom plate 402 and the side plates 403. The reinforcing plate 404 is provided with weight-reducing holes. The air gripper 3 is configured as a thin air gripper 3. The support 2 is connected with a three-axis manipulator. The corners of the mounting frame 4 are set as obtuse angles. The support 2 is connected with the main beam 1 by screws. The air gripper 3 is connected with the main beam 1 by screws. Therefore, the infusion bag packing manipulator of the present invention has the beneficial effects of high packing efficiency and good packing quality.

[0042] The infusion bag packing manipulator of the present invention sucks and stabilizes the infusion bag through the suction cup instead of manually grasping the infusion bag by hand, and has higher packing efficiency. During use, the infusion bag is transported by the assembly line conveyor belt to the predetermined packing position. The infusion bag packing manipulator is driven by the shaft manipulator to move. The suction cup clings to the surface of the infusion bag and tightly adsorbs it. Then the infusion bag packing manipulator moves into the packing box and the suction cup releases the infusion bag to complete the packing of the infusion bag. Mechanical packing is not easy to squeeze and break the infusion bag containing liquid, and the packing quality is better.

[0043] 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 description is only the specific embodiments of the present invention and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
