Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of testing devices for the production of plastic packaging products, in particular to a drop test method and device for plastic packaging products capable of continuous release. Background Art

[0002] Plastics have become a common outer packaging material in the pharmaceutical industry due to their chemical resistance, excellent sealing and barrier properties, adjustable mechanical properties, and ease of aseptic production. Especially for liquids such as injectables, oral solutions, and topical medications, plastic outer packaging offers lightweight and impact resistance, effectively ensuring the safety of the medications. Pharmaceutical manufacturing specifications require that after encapsulation and packaging, drop tests be conducted to determine the product's drop resistance. This performance is crucial for product safety and stability during transportation, storage, and use. To eliminate incidental testing and ensure sufficient testing of samples with varying materials, specifications, and medication solutions, sufficient sample volumes are often required during testing. This requires efficient and continuous drop testing of large batches of samples to improve efficiency.

[0003] However, the traditional drop test implementation method relies on manual operation, that is, the pre-treated sample needs to be held by a person to a certain height, and then released from a specific angle to allow the sample to fall freely onto a hard, rigid and smooth surface. After the drop, the sample appearance needs to be manually inspected and recorded. The inspection indicators include whether the outer packaging is broken, deformed, and whether the seal is cracked or loose. This method has the disadvantages of low efficiency and high labor costs, and can no longer meet the needs of mass production and testing of modern products. In recent years, although some automated drop test devices have gradually emerged, which can effectively free up manpower, these test devices also have the limitation of being unable to efficiently and continuously release large quantities of samples in actual applications. Specifically:

[0004] Existing drop test devices typically employ a method in which a clamping mechanism (e.g., a manipulator) lifts a sample to a specified height before releasing it. For example, Patent Publication No. CN213397571U discloses a drop test device for plastic products. In this method, each time a sample is dropped, the clamping mechanism first grasps the sample at a retrieval position, then lifts it to a specified height for release, and returns it to the retrieval position after release. This process is complex and time-consuming, as the clamping mechanism must repeatedly rise and fall in a specific sequence. Therefore, individual samples can only be released sequentially through the cyclical motion of the clamping mechanism, failing to efficiently and continuously release multiple samples. This, in turn, impacts test efficiency and prolongs the test cycle. Furthermore, many existing test devices employ a single drop angle for the sample, thus failing to achieve a comprehensive test result. For example, in the aforementioned patent, the sample is lifted and released by hoisting using a hook and a sling in the clamping mechanism, without the ability to change the release angle.

[0005] In summary, the present invention provides a drop test method and device for plastic packaging products with continuous release. Summary of the Invention

[0058] A second aspect of this embodiment provides a drop test method for a continuously release plastic packaging product, using the above-mentioned drop test apparatus, including the following steps:

[0059] Step 1: Use a conveyor belt to transport several spaced samples 2 to the drop release position in sequence. Specifically:

[0060] Under the control of the control part, the automatic loading component located on one side of the inclined loading section 1 will automatically take out samples 2 from the storage box and continuously place the samples 2 on the front side of the baffle 3 currently receiving the material along the conveying direction; the placed samples 2 will follow the operation of the loading conveyor belt, from the inclined loading section 1 to the horizontal loading section 5 at the specified height, and be conveyed by the horizontal loading section 5 to the drop release part.

[0061] If the drop height needs to be changed, the lifting power module 12 can be started to make the horizontal feeding section 5 and the drop release part of the feeding conveyor belt perform corresponding vertical lifting; at the same time, please refer to Figure 20As the horizontal feeding section 5 rises and falls, the inclined feeding section 1 will perform corresponding horizontal translation under the action of the steering roller 19 and the tensioning spring 18 assembly, so as to maintain the dynamic balance of the overall structure (at this time, the position of the storage box or the action parameters of the automatic feeding component can be adjusted synchronously to ensure normal feeding).

[0062] Step 2: At the drop release position, release the samples 2 that arrive in sequence, so that the samples 2 fall to the plane in sequence; before releasing the samples 2, adjust the drop angle of the samples 2. Specifically:

[0063] When the sample 2 moves to the end of the horizontal loading section 5, it will fall from the loading conveyor belt onto the channel plate 33, and will reach the release platform as the channel plate 33 tilts and rotates. When the sample 2 falls onto the channel plate 33, the photoelectric switch 32 above the channel plate 33 will detect a signal. Therefore, under the triggering of the signal, the rotary power mechanism 23 will drive the channel plate 33 to rotate toward the release platform (with the mounting rod of the channel plate 33 as the rotation axis; it will automatically reset after rotation), so that the sample 2 reaches the release platform. Please refer to Figure 12 ; Then the centering power mechanism 24 will drive the two push plates 31 on the release platform to make relative movements at the same time at a specified time (set in the control part, a specific time after the photoelectric shooting switch 32 detects a signal, which is the time when the push plate 31 should move; the various power mechanisms in the subsequent drop release part, the industrial camera 7 in the drop receiving part and the unloading power mechanism are all started with reference to this principle and will not be repeated) to center the sample 2 that has arrived on the release platform; then the steering lifting power mechanism will drive the steering claw to descend, so that the four claw rods 44 of the steering claw are distributed around the sample 2, and then the steering rotating power mechanism 23 will drive the steering claw to rotate, so that the four claw rods 44 push the sample 2 to rotate 90° counterclockwise or clockwise, thereby making the sample 2 become a state with the bottle mouth facing outward (outward means toward the protective support plate 29) or the bottle bottom facing outward and fall into the support groove 35, please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 After the above adjustments,

[0064] If the sample 2 needs to be released by dropping horizontally, the opening and closing power mechanism 25 will drive the two outer movable platforms 30 to move apart at the same time. Since the two inner movable platforms 26 are connected to the two outer movable platforms 30 through the flip seats 37 respectively, the two inner movable platforms 26 will move apart with the two outer movable platforms 30, and then the sample 2 can be released. Please refer to Figure 15 After releasing the sample 2, the opening and closing power mechanism 25 drives the two outer movable platforms 30 and the two inner movable platforms 26 to reset.

[0065] If the sample 2 needs to be released at an inclined / vertical drop angle, the sample 2 needs to be adjusted at an inclined / vertical drop angle first. Specifically, the flip drive motor 40 is activated to drive the two inner movable tables 26 to flip to a specific inclined / vertical angle at the same time. Please refer to Figure 16 / Figure 18 Before the flipping begins, the two rotary drive motors 28 will simultaneously drive the two movable limit jaws 34 to move closer to limit the sample 2 and prevent the sample 2 from falling during the flipping process; after the angle adjustment is completed, the two rotary drive motors 28 drive the two movable limit jaws 34 to return to the jaw grooves 36, and the opening and closing power mechanism 25 drives the two outer movable platforms 30 to move away from the two inner movable platforms 26, so that the sample 2 can be released at an inclined / vertical falling angle. Please refer to Figure 17 / Figure 19 After releasing the sample 2, the opening and closing power mechanism 25 first drives the two outer movable platforms 30 to carry the two inner movable platforms 26 to make similar movements (so that the positioning pins 39 are inserted into the positioning holes 38), and then the flip driving motor 40 drives the two inner movable platforms 26 to return to a horizontal state.

[0066] Step 3: Perform visual inspections on several samples 2 that have fallen onto the flat surface in sequence, complete the initial inspection of the appearance of the samples 2 and record the initial inspection results, and collect qualified samples 2 and unqualified samples 2 separately based on the initial inspection results. Specifically:

[0067] After sample 2 is released, the photoelectric trigger switch will detect a signal, and then the control part will control the industrial camera 7 to shoot towards the upper surface of the receiving platform 48 at a specified time to obtain the status image of sample 2 and perform identification analysis to determine whether the packaging of sample 2 has obvious cracks, deformations, etc., and then complete the initial inspection of sample 2 and preliminarily divide sample 2 into qualified sample 2 and unqualified sample 2; according to the classification result, the corresponding unloading power mechanism will drive the qualified product unloading plate 46 or the unqualified product unloading plate 47 to move, so as to push the sample 2 to open the opening and closing baffle 11 and then fall into the qualified product receiving box 9 or the unqualified product receiving box 10. Based on this, the drop test device can complete the preliminary sorting of qualified samples 2 and unqualified samples 2 when collecting samples 2, thereby saving the workload of subsequent detailed sorting and other processes, thereby effectively improving work efficiency.

[0068] To sum up, the continuously releaseable plastic packaging product drop test method and device provided in this embodiment have many advantages compared with the existing technology. Specifically: First, it can continuously load a number of samples 2 by conveyor belt transmission, and drop and release the samples 2 after they reach the drop release position, which can meet the need to continuously drop a large number of samples 2 during the test process, thereby improving the test efficiency and shortening the test cycle; second, the drop angle and drop height of the sample 2 can be adjusted as needed, thereby achieving a more comprehensive test effect; third, the sample 2 can be automatically inspected and classified and collected after it is dropped, which helps to save subsequent workload and improve the efficiency of the overall manufacturing production line.
