Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical packaging equipment, and in particular to an airflow packaging metering device for a strip packing machine. Background Art

[0002] The strip packing machine is a device that uses flexible packaging materials to pack powders, granules, and other contents in strips. It has the functions of online bag making, metering, filling, and forming and sealing. When filling powder, the existing strip packing machine mostly adopts the screw metering method. The principle of the screw metering method is that the material is pushed from the feed port to the discharge port by the rotation of the screw in the fixed cavity. The volume of the material output per revolution is fixed, thereby achieving quantitative filling. The screw metering accuracy mainly depends on the screw pitch, diameter, rotation speed and material density stability. The filling weight is determined by the number of revolutions of the feeding screw, which will be affected by the properties of the powder itself. Powder leakage or powder compaction without feeding is prone to occur during the filling process, affecting the filling accuracy, and the fastest filling speed of the equipment will not exceed 45 cuts / minute. When existing strip packing machines are filling granules, they mostly use the measuring cup slider to measure. The basic principle of measuring cup measurement is the volumetric value principle. The material is filled in a measuring cup (or "measuring cup cavity") with a preset fixed volume, and the filling is completed by gravity or mechanical push. The single filling amount = measuring cup volume × material density. The accuracy depends on the processing accuracy of the measuring cup and the stability of the material density. The filling weight is determined by the volume of the measuring cup. When measuring, the measuring cup is filled by the weight of the granules themselves, and the scraper scrapes it flat. Affected by the properties of the granules themselves, it is easy for the material to be filled in the measuring cup below 1g, and there are cavities inside, which affects the filling accuracy, and the fastest filling speed of the equipment will not exceed 45 cuts / minute.

[0003] The main defects of the screw metering method are: (1) Strong dependence on material properties: If the material density fluctuates (such as agglomeration due to moisture or particle breakage), the actual loading amount is likely to deviate from the theoretical value and requires frequent calibration. Viscous materials may adhere to the screw or the inner wall of the chamber, resulting in residue and metering errors. (2) Mechanical wear and maintenance costs: After long-term use, the gap between the screw and the chamber increases due to wear, reducing the metering accuracy and requiring regular replacement of parts. Disassembly and cleaning are complicated, especially when handling different materials, which is prone to cross-contamination. A quick-disassembly structure or self-cleaning function needs to be designed. (3) Conflict between speed and accuracy: High-speed rotation is prone to material extrusion heating or uneven filling, requiring a balance between efficiency and accuracy.

[0004] The main defects of the measuring cup type are as follows: (1) Limited material adaptability: It has strict requirements for the fluidity of the material. Poor fluidity (such as fine powder and easily caking materials) is likely to cause uneven filling or residue, and the error can reach more than ±5%. When the particle shape is irregular (such as the tablet tilting and jamming) or the density is uneven, the actual filling volume fluctuates significantly. (2) Precision is strongly related to density: If the material density changes (such as being affected by moisture or batch differences), it is necessary to manually replace the measuring cup or adjust the filling parameters, and automatic compensation cannot be achieved. Fine powder is prone to stratification during vibration filling, resulting in differences in filling volume within the same batch. (3) Limitations of the mechanical structure: When running at high speed, friction between the scraping mechanism and the measuring cup may generate debris (posing a pollution risk to the pharmaceutical and food industries). The volume of the measuring cup is fixed, and it is difficult to measure small doses (such as less than 1 g). Customized micro measuring cups are required, which are costly.

The middle parts of the upper and lower secondary swing rods 214 are fixed to both ends of the upper and lower transmission shaft 215 through bolts; however, it should be noted that since only one second servo motor 211 is provided, one of the upper and lower secondary swing rods 214 is only drivingly connected to the upper and lower secondary connecting rod 216 and is not connected to the second servo motor 211. However, the upper and lower transmission shaft 215 can drive the two upper and lower main swing rods 212 to act synchronously; the top end of the upper and lower secondary swing rods 214 is connected to the upper and lower tertiary swing rod 217 through an upper and lower secondary connecting rod 216.

Due to the setting of the vertical guide shaft 219, the metering component mounting seat 220 will perform vertical movement along its axis. It should be noted that since the metering component 3 will also perform horizontal movement back and forth, therefore, the guide groove also extends in the horizontal direction like the strip-shaped hole 2081 of the front and back movement base 208, so that the metering component 3 can perform horizontal movement back and forth and vertical movement under the drive of the metering transmission component 2.

[0088] Specifically, as Figure 10 shown, the metering component 3 is installed on the metering component mounting seat 220 through bolts, and then the front, back, up and down movements of the metering component 3 can be completed by controlling the swinging movements of the first servo motor 201 and the second servo motor 211.

The material taking elbow pipe 401 is further communicated with the suction pipe 104 below the air flow hopper 1 through the flexible pipe 105. That is to say, the material is introduced into the material taking hole 4022 through the flexible pipe 105 to facilitate the suction of the metering die 304; thus arranged, by setting two material taking holes 4022, the material packaging efficiency can be improved as much as possible.

[0093] Preferably, the metering die 304 includes: a die base 3044 and two metering plungers 3043; the die base 3044 has two mutually parallel suction cavities arranged inside, a suction port 30441 communicated with the suction cavities is arranged at the bottom end of the die base 3044, and the suction port 30441 can cooperate with the material taking hole 4022 to suck the material; two metering plungers 3043 are respectively inserted into the suction cavities for sucking the material from the material taking hole 4022.

The suction port 30441(I) is connected to vacuum to suck materials through the material taking hole 4022(A). The materials enter the cavity of the suction port 30441(I). If there are materials in the cavity of the suction port 30441(II), the materials will be discharged through compressed air and discharged into the strip package through the blanking hole 4021(C); then the metering drive assembly 2 controls the metering mold 304 to move upward and then move to the right. At this time, the suction port 30441(I) is aligned with the blanking hole 4021(C), and the suction port 30441(II) is aligned with the material taking hole 4022(B); then, the metering drive assembly 2 controls the metering mold 304 to move downward and insert into the material taking hole 4022(B). The suction port 30441(I) is connected to compressed air to discharge materials, which are discharged into the strip package through the blanking hole 4021(C). The suction port 30441(II) is connected to vacuum to suck materials through the material taking hole 4022(B).

With such a setting, the packaging of multiple strip packages can be carried out continuously, thereby improving the packaging efficiency. Moreover, in this embodiment, the accuracy of packaging can be improved by sucking materials with the metering mold 304.
