Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of glass bottle processing technology, and more specifically, relates to a horizontal ampoule machine for forming C-type ampoule bottles. Background Technology

[0002] Ampoules are heat-sealed rigid glass containers used to store injectable drugs, vaccines, serums, etc. They are classified into Type B ampoules, Type C ampoules, Type D ampoules, and reagent bottles. Type C ampoules have a larger mouth than Type B ampoules, requiring an additional mouth-expansion process during the forming process compared to Type B ampoules. Ordinary horizontal ampoule production equipment can only process ordinary ampoules, such as Type B ampoules, but cannot process Type C ampoules; therefore, a dedicated Type C ampoule forming machine is required. If a company's production workshop does not have C-type ampoule molding equipment, it cannot process C-type ampoules. The company will need to purchase the equipment to process C-type ampoules, which will increase the bottle manufacturing cost. Moreover, the existing horizontal ampoule production equipment cannot process ampoules of various specifications, and its function is relatively limited.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to modify the existing horizontal ampoule production equipment to enable it to process type B and type C ampoules, thereby reducing bottle manufacturing costs and meeting the molding and processing needs of ampoules of various specifications. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a horizontal ampoule forming and processing device for C-type ampoules, which aims to solve the technical problem that existing horizontal ampoule forming equipment cannot form and process C-type ampoules.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a horizontal ampoule machine for forming and processing C-type ampoules, comprising:

[0006] A horizontal ampoule machine is used to shape glass tubes and process them into type B ampoules.

[0007] A bottleneck preheating unit is connected to the horizontal ampoule machine. The bottleneck preheating unit is used to heat the bottleneck of the ampoule during the molding process.

[0008] The pressure roller unit is connected to the horizontal ampoule machine. The pressure roller unit is used to extrude and form the position between the neck and body of the ampoule during the forming process to process and form a groove-shaped structure.

[0009] A flaring unit is connected to the horizontal ampoule machine. The flaring unit is used to insert into the mouth of the ampoule during the molding process and to enlarge the inner diameter of the mouth to process it into a C-type ampoule.

[0010] The horizontal ampoule machine has a control module for controlling the operation of the bottleneck preheating unit, the pressure roller unit, and the flaring unit respectively.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the bottleneck preheating unit includes:

[0012] Multiple heating lamps are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the horizontal ampoule machine and located below the ampoule during the forming process. The multiple heating lamps are used to sequentially heat the neck of the ampoule during the forming process as it is conveyed by the horizontal ampoule machine.

[0013] The lower transverse slide rails are multiple and all connected to the horizontal ampoule machine. The multiple heating lamp heads are connected one-to-one with the multiple heating lamp heads. The heating lamp heads have the freedom to slide along the length direction of the lower transverse slide rails. The length direction of the lower transverse slide rails is along the width direction of the horizontal ampoule machine. The heating lamp heads adjust the heating position of the ampoule bottle neck by means of the lower transverse slide rails.

[0014] The first pusher is connected to the lower transverse slide rail and is used to push the heating lamp head to slide.

[0015] The control module is connected to the heating lamp head and is used to control the heating temperature and heating time of the heating lamp head.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the heating lamp head has a flame-emitting end with multiple evenly distributed air holes. The flame-emitting end is configured as an inwardly recessed arc-shaped groove structure. When heating the neck of the ampoule, the arc-shaped groove structure forms a semi-encirclement of the ampoule to uniformly heat the neck of the ampoule.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the horizontal ampoule machine is connected to multiple lower vertical slide rails, with each pair of lower vertical slide rails forming a group. The multiple groups of lower vertical slide rails are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the horizontal ampoule machine. Each lower transverse slide rail is slidably connected to each group of lower vertical slide rails at both ends. The lower transverse slide rail has a vertical sliding degree of freedom. The length direction of the lower vertical slide rail is along the vertical direction. The lower vertical slide rail is connected to a second pusher, which is used to push the lower transverse slide rail to slide. The heating lamp head adjusts the heating distance from the ampoule by sliding the lower transverse slide rail on the lower vertical slide rail.

[0018] In one possible implementation, an upper transverse slide rail is connected above the horizontal ampoule machine. There are multiple upper transverse slide rails arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the horizontal ampoule machine. The length direction of the upper transverse slide rail is horizontal. The pressure roller unit and the flaring unit are both slidably connected to the upper transverse slide rail and have a degree of freedom to slide along the length direction of the upper transverse slide rail. The squeezing position of the pressure roller unit on the ampoule and the flaring position of the flaring unit on the ampoule can be adjusted on the upper transverse slide rail.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the pressure roller unit includes:

[0020] The first upper vertical slide rail is slidably connected to the upper horizontal slide rail, is vertically arranged, and has the freedom to slide along the length of the upper horizontal slide rail;

[0021] The first slider is slidably connected to the first upper vertical slide rail and has a sliding degree of freedom along the length direction of the first upper vertical slide rail, the length direction of the first upper vertical slide rail being vertical;

[0022] The third pusher is connected at one end to the upper end of the first slider and slides against the bottom wall of the upper transverse slide rail. The third pusher is used to push the first slider to slide.

[0023] The fourth pusher is connected at one end to the upper horizontal slide rail and at the other end to the first upper vertical slide rail. The fourth pusher is used to push the first upper vertical slide rail to slide.

[0024] A pressure roller is connected to the side of the first slider. The pressure roller is used to squeeze the position between the neck and body of the ampoule to form a groove-shaped structure. The height of the pressure roller is adjusted by sliding the first slider, and the horizontal position of the pressure roller on the ampoule is adjusted by sliding the first upper vertical slide rail.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the first slider is connected to a first driver, the power output end of the first driver is connected to one end of a first drive rod, the first drive rod is horizontally positioned, the other end of the first drive rod is connected to the pressure roller, the first driver is used to drive the pressure roller to rotate, the first driver is electrically connected to the control module and its operation is controlled by the control module.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the flaring unit includes:

[0027] The second upper vertical slide rail is slidably connected to the upper horizontal slide rail, is vertically arranged, and has the freedom to slide along the length of the upper horizontal slide rail;

[0028] The second slider is slidably connected to the second upper vertical slide rail and has a sliding degree of freedom along the length direction of the second upper vertical slide rail, which is vertical.

[0029] The fifth pusher is connected at one end to the upper end of the second slider and slides against the bottom wall of the upper transverse slide rail. The fifth pusher is used to push the second slider to slide.

[0030] The sixth pusher is connected at one end to the upper horizontal slide rail and at the other end to the second upper vertical slide rail. The sixth pusher is used to push the second upper vertical slide rail to slide.

[0031] The inner pressure roller at the bottle mouth is connected to the bottom end of the second slider and is set horizontally. The inner pressure roller at the bottle mouth is inserted into the mouth of the ampoule during the forming process by means of the push of the sixth pusher and enlarges the inner diameter of the bottle mouth to form a C-shaped ampoule. The height of the inner pressure roller at the bottle mouth is adjusted by means of the second slider.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the flaring unit includes:

[0033] An extension rod is vertically arranged and has a vertical extension-retraction degree of freedom. The upper end of the extension rod is connected to the bottom end of the second slider.

[0034] The second driver is connected to the lower end of the extension rod and has a power output end;

[0035] The pressure roller inside the bottle neck is connected to the power output end of the second driver, and the second driver is used to drive the pressure roller inside the bottle neck to rotate circumferentially.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the flared unit further includes:

[0037] The third driver, connected to the second slider, has a power output end;

[0038] The second drive rod is connected at one end to the power output end of the third driver, and the second drive rod is arranged horizontally.

[0039] An external pressure roller is connected to the other end of the second drive rod. The external pressure roller is used to squeeze the neck and upper part of the ampoule to form a C-shaped ampoule. The distance between the external pressure roller and the internal pressure roller is adjusted by means of the extension rod.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the horizontal ampoule machine C-type ampoule forming and processing device provided by the present invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the horizontal ampoule machine C-type ampoule forming and processing device of the present invention includes a horizontal ampoule machine, a neck preheating unit, a pressure roller unit, and a flaring unit. The neck preheating unit heats the neck of the ampoule during the forming process. The pressure roller unit extrudes and forms the area between the neck and body of the ampoule during the forming process to create a groove-shaped structure. The flaring unit is inserted into the mouth of the ampoule during the forming process and enlarges the inner diameter of the mouth to produce a C-type ampoule. This solves the technical problem that traditional horizontal ampoule machines cannot process C-type ampoules. It can process both B-type and C-type ampoules, improves the processing function of the horizontal ampoule machine, reduces bottle manufacturing costs, and improves bottle manufacturing efficiency.

[0055] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0056] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 The present invention will now describe the horizontal ampoule machine C-type ampoule forming and processing device. The horizontal ampoule machine C-type ampoule forming and processing device includes a horizontal ampoule machine 1, a neck preheating unit 2, a pressure roller unit 3, and a flaring unit 4. The horizontal ampoule machine 1 is used to form glass tubes into C-type ampoules; the neck preheating unit 2 is connected to the horizontal ampoule machine 1 and is used to heat the neck of the ampoule during the forming process; the pressure roller unit 3 is connected to the horizontal ampoule machine 1 and is used to heat the neck of the ampoule during the forming process. The position between the ampoule and the bottle body is extruded to form a groove structure; the flaring unit 4 is connected to the horizontal ampoule machine 1. The flaring unit 4 is used to insert into the mouth of the ampoule during the forming process and to enlarge the inner diameter of the mouth to form a C-shaped ampoule; wherein, the horizontal ampoule machine 1 has a control module (which is existing technology and has multiple control buttons, etc., and has a built-in PLC controller, etc.) for controlling the operation of the neck preheating unit 2, the pressure roller unit 3 and the flaring unit 4 respectively.

[0057] The horizontal ampoule machine C-type ampoule forming and processing device provided by this invention, compared with the prior art, adds a neck preheating unit 2, a pressure roller unit 3, and a flaring unit 4. The arrangement of these three units does not affect the processing of B-type ampoules by the existing horizontal ampoule machine 1, because B-type and C-type ampoules differ only in the neck and mouth positions. The neck preheating unit 2 heats the neck of the ampoule during the forming process, and the pressure roller unit 3 heats the neck of the ampoule during the forming process. The neck and body of the ampoule are extruded to form a groove structure. A flaring unit 4 is inserted into the mouth of the ampoule during the forming process to enlarge the inner diameter of the mouth, thus forming a C-type ampoule. This solves the technical problem that the traditional horizontal ampoule machine 1 cannot form C-type ampoules. It can process both B-type and C-type ampoules, improving the processing function of the horizontal ampoule machine 1, reducing bottle manufacturing costs, and increasing bottle manufacturing efficiency.

[0058] The horizontal ampoule machine 1 in this embodiment is existing technology and can be used to process type B ampoules. During the molding process, by adding the above three units, it is possible to process type C ampoules on the same machine without affecting the original structure and processing of the horizontal ampoule machine 1. That is, one machine can process both type B and type C ampoules, which can reduce the bottle manufacturing cost of enterprises and save the need to purchase type C ampoule molding and processing equipment. Figure 1 The diagram illustrates part of the structure of the horizontal ampoule machine 1. The structure of the horizontal ampoule machine 1 is not fully shown or labeled. For reference, please refer to the structure and forming process principle of the horizontal ampoule machine 1 in the prior art. Figure 1 The machine employs multiple support rods 11, arranged in pairs, to support the ampoules during transport. These rods are positioned between two rotating transfer discs, allowing for the transfer of ampoules between adjacent discs, while the support rods 11 support the glass tubes during transport. Multiple glass tubes fall sequentially onto the horizontal ampoule machine 1. Each glass tube has a relatively long angle, its axial direction extending along the width of the machine, and its length moving along the length of the machine. One glass tube can be used to form multiple ampoules. The glass tube is gradually heated during its movement and pressurized during this process, eventually being broken to form multiple ampoules.

[0059] Figure 2Above the bedroom ampoule machine 1, a pressure roller assembly 5 for processing type B ampoules is provided. Multiple sets of pressure roller assemblies 5 are arranged side-by-side, enabling gradual extrusion molding of the ampoules during the forming process, resulting in a grooved structure on the ampoules. In this embodiment, slide rails 6 are provided at both ends of the bedroom ampoule machine 1, and the bottom end of the pressure roller assembly 5 is slidably connected to the slide rails 6. This allows the pressure roller assembly 5 to slide along the slide rails 6, thus adjusting its working position and the extrusion molding position of the ampoules. It is important to note that the sliding adjustment direction of the pressure roller assembly 5 is along the ampoule conveying direction of the horizontal ampoule machine 1, enabling extrusion molding of the ampoules at different positions.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4The neck preheating unit 2 includes heating lamp heads 21, lower transverse slide rails 22, and a first pusher 23. Multiple heating lamp heads 21 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the horizontal ampoule machine 1, located below the ampoule bottles during the forming process. These multiple heating lamp heads 21 are used to sequentially heat the neck of the ampoule bottles during the forming process, which are conveyed by the horizontal ampoule machine 1. Multiple lower transverse slide rails 22 are also connected to the horizontal ampoule machine 1, and each of the multiple heating lamp heads 21 is connected to multiple... Each heating lamp head 21 has a degree of freedom to slide along the length of a lower transverse slide rail 22, which is along the width of the horizontal ampoule machine 1. The heating lamp head 21 adjusts its heating position on the neck of the ampoule via the lower transverse slide rail 22. A first pusher 23 is connected to the lower transverse slide rail 22 and is used to push the heating lamp head 21 to slide. A control module is connected to the heating lamp head 21 and is used to control the heating temperature and heating time of the heating lamp head 21. The heating lamp heads 21 are arranged sequentially along the processing direction of the ampoule, and can sequentially heat the neck of the same ampoule. After heating, the ampoule is easier to shape. By sliding the heating lamp head 21 on the lower transverse slide rail 22, the heating position of the heating lamp head 21 on the ampoule can be adjusted. The position of the heating lamp head 21 can be adjusted before heating or during heating. In this embodiment, the position of the heating lamp head 21 can be adjusted by the first pusher 23. The position of the heating lamp head 21 can also be adjusted by reciprocating on the lower horizontal slide rail 22 during the heating process, thus enabling reciprocating and uniform heating of the ampoule. The first pusher 23 is made of high-temperature resistant material and will not deform or affect its use after being exposed to high temperatures. The control module has multiple control and adjustment buttons, which can control and adjust parameters such as heating temperature and heating time. The heating lamp head 21 is generally vertically arranged, with the upper end used for flame emission and the lower end used to connect to the gas pipeline. The gas pipeline supplies gas to the heating lamp head 21, and igniting the gas will produce a flame to heat the neck of the ampoule. The middle part of the heating lamp head 21 is slidably connected to the lower horizontal slide rail 22. The first pusher 23 is located above the lower horizontal slide rail 22, with one end connected to the lower horizontal slide rail 22 and the other end connected to the heating lamp head 21, thereby controlling and adjusting the sliding position of the heating lamp head 21. The first pusher 23 is electrically connected to the control module. The control module can control the pushing length of the first pusher 23, thereby adjusting the heating position of the heating lamp head 21 in the horizontal direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4The heating lamp head 21 has a flame-emitting end 211 with multiple evenly distributed air holes 212. The flame-emitting end 211 is configured as an inwardly recessed arc-shaped groove structure 213. When heating the neck of the ampoule, the arc-shaped groove structure 213 forms a semi-encirclement of the ampoule to evenly heat the neck of the ampoule. The air holes 212 are connected to the cavity inside the heating lamp head 21. The gas pipe is used to supply gas to the cavity inside the heating lamp head 21. The gas discharged from the flame-emitting end 211 is ignited to achieve flame emission, hence the name flame-emitting end 211. Through the continuous emission of flame from the heating lamp head 21, the ampoule can be continuously heated.

[0062] The arc-shaped groove structure 213 in this embodiment differs from the heating lamp head 21 in the prior art. This arrangement can achieve semi-encirclement of the neck of the ampoule, so the emitted flame can uniformly heat the outer circumferential wall of the ampoule neck and improve the heating efficiency of the ampoule. The arc-shaped groove structure 213 is semi-circular.

[0063] The height adjustment of the heating lamp head 21 could not be achieved. In some embodiments, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3 The horizontal ampoule machine 1 is connected to multiple lower vertical slide rails 24, with each pair of lower vertical slide rails 24 forming a group. These groups of lower vertical slide rails 24 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the horizontal ampoule machine 1. Each lower transverse slide rail 22 is slidably connected to each group of lower vertical slide rails 24 at both ends. The lower transverse slide rail 22 has a vertical sliding degree of freedom. The length direction of the lower vertical slide rail 24 is vertical. A second pusher 25 is connected to each lower vertical slide rail 24. The second pusher 25 is used to push the lower transverse slide rail 22 to slide. The heating lamp head 21 adjusts its heating distance from the ampoule via the sliding of the lower transverse slide rail 22 on the lower vertical slide rail 24. By extending and retracting the second pusher 25, the height of the lower transverse slide rail 22 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the heating lamp head 21 or the distance between it and the ampoule, thus controlling the degree of heating, heating time, or heating efficiency of the ampoule. The second pusher 25 is electrically connected to the control module. The control module can control the pushing length of the second pusher 25, thereby controlling the height of the heating lamp head 21.

[0064] Specifically, one end of the second pusher 25 is connected to the lower vertical slide rail 24, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall of the lower horizontal slide rail 22. The telescopic adjustment operation of the second pusher 25 is relatively convenient and quick. The structure and materials of the second pusher 25 are the same as those of the first pusher 23.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5A horizontal slide rail 7 is connected above the horizontal ampoule machine 1. Multiple horizontal slide rails 7 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the horizontal ampoule machine 1. The length of the horizontal slide rail 7 is horizontal. The pressure roller unit 3 and the flaring unit 4 are slidably connected to the horizontal slide rail 7 and have the freedom to slide along the length of the horizontal slide rail 7. The squeezing position of the pressure roller unit 3 on the ampoule and the flaring position of the flaring unit 4 on the ampoule can be adjusted on the horizontal slide rail 7. The setting position of the horizontal slide rail 7 does not affect the normal operation of the original horizontal ampoule machine 1. By sliding the pressure roller unit 3 and the flaring unit 4 on the horizontal slide rail 7, the squeezing position and flaring position of the ampoule can be adjusted, thus meeting the forming and processing needs of C-type ampoules of different lengths and specifications.

[0066] In this application, multiple sets of pressure roller unit 3 and flaring unit 4 can be arranged sequentially along the ampoule conveying direction of horizontal ampoule machine 1, or only one set can be arranged to realize the forming and processing of C-type ampoules. The arrangement can be reasonably set according to the actual situation, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The pressure roller unit 3 includes a first upper vertical slide rail 31, a first slider 32, a third pusher 33, a fourth pusher 34, and a pressure roller 35. The first upper vertical slide rail 31 is slidably connected to the upper horizontal slide rail 7 and is vertically arranged, having a degree of freedom to slide along the length of the upper horizontal slide rail 7. The first slider 32 is slidably connected to the first upper vertical slide rail 31 and has a degree of freedom to slide along the length of the first upper vertical slide rail 31, which is vertical. One end of the third pusher 33 is connected to the upper end of the first slider 32, and the other end slides against the upper horizontal slide rail 7. The third pusher 33 is used to push the first slider 32 to slide against the bottom wall of the slide rail 7; one end of the fourth pusher 34 is connected to the upper horizontal slide rail 7 and the other end is connected to the first upper vertical slide rail 31. The fourth pusher 34 is used to push the first upper vertical slide rail 31 to slide; the pressure roller 35 is connected to the side of the first slider 32. The pressure roller 35 is used to squeeze the position between the neck of the ampoule and the body of the ampoule to form a groove structure. The height of the pressure roller 35 is adjusted by sliding the first slider 32. The horizontal position of the pressure roller 35 on the ampoule is adjusted by sliding the first upper vertical slide rail 31. The length of the first upper vertical slide rail 31 is less than that of the upper horizontal slide rail 7. One side of the first upper vertical slide rail 31 is provided with a groove (for the first slider 32 to slide), and the opposite side is slidably connected to the upper horizontal slide rail 7. The first upper vertical slide rail 31 can move in the horizontal direction. By controlling the extension and retraction length of the fourth pusher 34, the sliding position or distance of the first upper vertical slide rail 31 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the squeezing position of the pressure roller 35 along the axial direction of the ampoule. By controlling the pushing length of the third pusher 33, the sliding position of the first slider 32 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the squeezing depth of the pressure roller 35 on the ampoule, that is, the depth of the groove structure formed on the ampoule. The pressure roller 35 is centrally fitted onto the rotating shaft. The pressure roller 35 can rotate circumferentially around the rotating shaft, while one end of the rotating shaft is connected to the side of the first slider 32. The pressure roller 35 contacts and squeezes the ampoule, and the depth of squeezing (i.e. the distance the pressure roller 35 presses down) is reasonably controlled, thereby satisfying the forming process of the groove structure between the body and neck of the ampoule.

[0068] In this embodiment, the third pusher 33 and the fourth pusher 34 have the same structure and materials as the first pusher 23.

[0069] To enable the pressure roller 35 to rotate actively and to actively rotate and extrude the ampoule after contact, in some embodiments, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 5The first slider 32 is connected to a first driver 36. The power output end of the first driver 36 is connected to one end of a first drive rod 37, which is horizontally positioned. The other end of the first drive rod 37 is connected to a pressure roller 35. The first driver 36 drives the pressure roller 35 to rotate. The first driver 36 is electrically connected to the control module and its operation is controlled by the control module. The first driver 36 is a geared motor or electric motor, controlled by the control module. The first driver 36 drives the first drive rod 37 to rotate, thereby driving the pressure roller 35 to rotate circumferentially. During rotation, the pressure roller 35 gradually approaches or contacts the ampoule during the heating process, thus extruding and molding the ampoule into a groove-shaped structure. By controlling the height and horizontal position of the slider, the extrusion position and depth of the pressure roller 35 on the ampoule can be controlled. In this embodiment, the other end of the first drive rod 37 is connected to one end of a rotating shaft, or connected using a coupling. In this case, the rotating shaft and the pressure roller 35 are fixedly connected, meaning they rotate simultaneously. Specifically, the first drive rod 37 can be a rod of fixed length or a telescopic rod. In this application, it can be reasonably selected according to the position of the pressure roller 35.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The flaring unit 4 includes a second upper vertical slide rail 41, a second slider 42, a fifth pusher 43, a sixth pusher 44, and an inner pressure roller 45 at the bottle mouth. The second upper vertical slide rail 41 is slidably connected to the upper horizontal slide rail 7 and is vertically arranged, having a degree of freedom to slide along the length of the upper horizontal slide rail 7. The second slider 42 is slidably connected to the second upper vertical slide rail 41 and has a degree of freedom to slide along the length of the second upper vertical slide rail 41, which is vertical. One end of the fifth pusher 43 is connected to the upper end of the second slider 42, and the other end slides against the upper horizontal slide rail 7. The bottom wall of slide rail 7 has a fifth pusher 43 for pushing the second slider 42 to slide. One end of the sixth pusher 44 is connected to the upper horizontal slide rail 7, and the other end is connected to the second upper vertical slide rail 41. The sixth pusher 44 is used to push the second upper vertical slide rail 41 to slide. The inner pressure roller 45 of the bottle mouth is connected to the bottom end of the second slider 42 and is set horizontally. The inner pressure roller 45 of the bottle mouth is inserted into the mouth of the ampoule during the molding process by the push of the sixth pusher 44 and enlarges the inner diameter of the bottle mouth to process it into a C-shaped ampoule. The height of the inner pressure roller 45 of the bottle mouth is adjusted by the second slider 42. The length of the second upper vertical slide rail 41 can be the same as the length of the first upper vertical slide rail 31. The structure of the second slider 42 is the same as that of the first slider 32, and the movement principle is the same. The fifth pusher 43 and the sixth pusher 44 are the same in structure and material as the first pusher 23, which makes it easy to process and manufacture, or to mass-produce, or to reduce the purchase cost. Limiting blocks are provided at both ends of the upper transverse slide rail 7 and the lower transverse slide rail 22 to limit the sliding range and prevent slippage. By adjusting the telescopic length of the fifth pusher 43, the sliding position of the second slider 42 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the compression height or position of the inner pressure roller 45 on the ampoule mouth. This facilitates the molding and processing of C-shaped ampoules and also facilitates the molding and processing of C-shaped ampoules of different lengths, diameters, or specifications.

[0071] In this embodiment, the inner pressure roller 45 of the bottle mouth is olive-shaped, with a rotating shaft connected to its middle part (which can be fixedly or rotatably connected to the rotating shaft). The rotating shaft is connected to the bottom end of the second slider 42. By adjusting the height and horizontal position of the second slider 42, the inner pressure roller 45 of the bottle mouth can be inserted into the ampoule and squeeze the ampoule or enlarge the bottle mouth. That is, during the molding process, moving upward or downward inside the ampoule can enlarge the bottle mouth and gradually shape it into a C-shaped ampoule.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The flaring unit 4 also includes an extension rod 46 and a second driver 47. The extension rod 46 is vertically oriented and has vertical extension and retraction freedom. The upper end of the extension rod 46 is connected to the bottom end of the second slider 42. The second driver 47 is connected to the lower end of the extension rod 46 and has a power output end. The inner pressure roller 45 of the bottle neck is connected to the power output end of the second driver 47, which drives the inner pressure roller 45 to rotate circumferentially. The extension rod 46 allows the inner pressure roller 45 to contact the ampoule and extrude it. The length of the extension rod 46 can be selected appropriately according to actual conditions; the extension rod 46 can be an adjustable rod. The second driver 47 has the same structure as the first driver 36 and drives the inner pressure roller 45 to rotate. The rotating shaft and the inner pressure roller 45 are fixedly connected. The shape of the inner pressure roller 45 matches the shape of the inner wall of the ampoule.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The flaring unit 4 also includes a third driver 48, a second drive rod 49, and an outer pressure roller 410 at the bottle mouth. The third driver 48 is connected to the second slider 42 and has a power output end. One end of the second drive rod 49 is connected to the power output end of the third driver 48, and the second drive rod 49 is horizontally positioned. The outer pressure roller 410 at the bottle mouth is connected to the other end of the second drive rod 49. The outer pressure roller 410 is used to squeeze the neck and upper part of the ampoule bottle to process it into a C-shaped ampoule. The distance between the outer pressure roller 410 and the inner pressure roller 45 at the bottle mouth is adjusted by means of an extension rod 46. The third driver 48 has the same structure as the first driver 36, and the second drive rod 49 has the same structure as the first drive rod 37. The shape of the outer pressure roller 410 at the bottle mouth matches the shape of the C-shaped ampoule, so that the ampoule can be finally processed into a C-shaped ampoule through extrusion molding to meet the processing requirements of the C-shaped ampoule. In this embodiment, a rotating shaft is sleeved at the center of the bottle neck external pressure roller 410, and one end of the rotating shaft is connected to one end of the second drive rod 49. This enables the third driver 48 to drive the bottle neck external pressure roller 410 to rotate, thereby controlling the extrusion molding of the ampoule and processing it into a C-shaped ampoule.

[0074] Preferably, the inner pressure roller 45 and the outer pressure roller 410 of the bottle mouth are used in conjunction to simultaneously shape the inner and outer walls of the ampoule, which can improve the efficiency of the shaping process. In special cases where it is not possible to simultaneously process the inner and outer walls of the ampoule, the inner pressure roller 45 and the outer pressure roller 410 of the bottle mouth can be used separately and used separately.

[0075] The multiple drivers and pushers in this application are electrically connected to and controlled by the control module. The control module is equipped with multiple control buttons that control the operation of the drivers and pushers respectively. By operating the control module, the operator can realize the molding and processing of C-type ampoules, and also meet the molding and processing of C-type ampoules of different specifications.

[0076] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
