The guide plate has a groove on its surface.
[0016] This invention provides an intelligent overhead conveying system for a capping machine. It has the following advantages:
[0017] (1) In this invention, the rotation of the arc plate will drive the push rod to rotate. The shaft can only drive the push rod to rotate when the storage box is in contact with the conveying device, so as to avoid the storage box from contacting the push rod during the movement. Contact between the storage box and the push rod may cause the conveying system to stop or get stuck, and the operation of the suspension device and the conveying device may be affected, resulting in the material not being able to flow normally, thus affecting production efficiency.
[0018] (2) In this invention, the pusher moves to guide the medicine bottles that slide onto the surface of the placement frame, so that the medicine bottles can slide into the placement slot for storage. The pusher can ensure that the medicine bottles are stored in a certain order and arrangement when they slide into the storage box. Through this orderly arrangement, the confusion or misalignment of the medicine bottles during the storage process can be avoided, ensuring that each medicine bottle can accurately enter the placement slot and improving the accuracy of subsequent operations.
[0019] (3) In this invention, the rotating linkage moves the scraper, and the scraper moves to push the medicine bottles that the pusher cannot reach. The scraper can push the medicine bottles in the dead corner into the placement slot, thereby ensuring that all medicine bottles can be stored in the slot in an orderly and complete manner, avoiding the medicine bottles from missing the storage position due to not being pushed, and ensuring the integrity of the storage process.
[0020] (4) In this invention, the movement of the fixed rod will drive the clamping plate to move, and the movement of the clamping plate will release the limit between the sliding rod and the storage box. This will quickly release the limit between the storage box and the sliding rod, allowing the storage box filled with medicine bottles to be quickly removed and replaced. This will avoid downtime and ensure the smooth operation of the production line and improve production efficiency.
[0021] (5) In this invention, when the limit of the pressure plate is released, the pressure plate will be driven by the No. 8 spring to press and fix the placement slot for placing medicine bottles. If the medicine bottles are not effectively fixed during the process of the storage frame being removed, they may collide with each other due to gravity. Fixing the medicine bottles can ensure that they remain upright and stable during transportation or transfer, and avoid damage or breakage of the medicine bottles. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 Figure 7 One embodiment of the present invention is: an intelligent suspended conveying system for a capping machine, including a capping device 1, a conveying device 6 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the capping device 1, the rotating shaft of the conveying device 6 rotatably passing through the outer wall of the conveying device 6, a support column 2 provided on the side of the capping device 1 near the conveying device 6, a slide rail 3 fixedly installed on the top of the support column 2, a sliding rod 4 slidably installed on the inner wall of the slide rail 3, a storage box 5 fixedly installed on the bottom of the sliding rod 4, a sliding cover plate 7 slidably installed on the inner wall of the storage box 5, and an inclined plate 8 fixedly installed on the side of the sliding cover plate 7 near the conveying device 6. A guide device is also provided inside the capping device 1.
[0032] The guiding device includes a round rod 16, a sleeve 17 and a guide plate 18. The sleeve 17 is fixedly installed inside the conveying device 6. The round rod 16 slides through the inside of the conveying device 6 and contacts the inner wall of the sleeve 17. The guide plate 18 is fixedly installed on the side of the round rod 16 away from the sleeve 17.
[0033] The guiding device also includes a pressure rod 9, an inclined block 10, a push rod 11, a connecting rod 12, a push block 13, an arc plate 14, and a push rod 15. The pressure rod 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding cover plate 7 near the conveying device 6. The push rod 11 is slidably installed on the bottom of the conveying device 6. The inclined block 10 is fixedly installed on the side of the push rod 11 near the pressure rod 9. The push block 13 is slidably installed on the side of the conveying device 6 near the pressure rod 9. One end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably installed on the side of the push rod 11 near the push block 13, and the other end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably installed on the side of the push block 13 near the push rod 11. The arc plate 14 is slidably installed on the side of the push block 13 near the rotating shaft. The push rod 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the arc plate 14 away from the rotating shaft to avoid contact between the storage box 5 and the push rod 11 during the movement of the storage box 5. Contact between the storage box 5 and the push rod 11 may cause the conveying system to stop or get stuck, which may affect the operation of the suspension device and the conveying device 6, causing the material to be unable to flow normally, thereby affecting production efficiency.
[0034] The inclined block 10 is inclined on the side near the pressure rod 9. A first spring is provided between the push rod 11 and the conveying device 6. The first spring is provided to drive the push rod 11 back to its original position. A second spring is provided between the connecting rod 12 and the conveying device 6. The second spring is provided to drive the connecting rod 12 back to its original position. A third spring is provided between the sleeve 17 and the round rod 16. The third spring is provided to drive the round rod 16 back to its original position. A fourth spring is provided between the sliding cover 7 and the storage box 5. The fourth spring is provided to drive the sliding cover 7 back to its original position.
[0035] The inner wall of the capping device 1 includes an annular conveyor belt 41, a transport device 42, a cap storage tank 43, a sliding rod 44, a guide plate 45, and a capping machine 46. The annular conveyor belt 41 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the capping device 1, the transport device 42 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the capping device 1, the cap storage tank 43 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the capping device 1, the sliding rod 44 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cap storage tank 43, the guide plate 45 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the capping device 1, and the capping machine 46 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the capping device 1. The surface of the guide plate 45 is provided with a slot.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the sealed medicine bottle needs to be transported, the chain inside the slide 3 will drive the sliding rod 4 to move. The movement of the sliding rod 4 will drive the storage box 5 to move. When the storage box 5 moves towards the conveying device 6, the inclined plate 8 will contact the conveying device 6. Then, the inclined plate 8 will drive the sliding cover 7 to slide downward. The downward movement of the sliding cover 7 will drive the pressure rod 9 to move. The pressure rod 9 will contact the inclined surface of the inclined block 10. Then, the pressure rod 9 will push the inclined block 10 to move away from the storage box 5. The movement of the inclined block 10 will push the push rod 11 to slide. When push rod 11 slides, it pulls connecting rod 12 to move. The movement of connecting rod 12 pulls push block 13 to slide, and the sliding of push block 13 pushes arc plate 14 to move. When arc plate 14 moves, it comes into contact with the rotating shaft of conveying device 6. The rotating shaft of conveying device 6 then drives arc plate 14 to rotate, which in turn drives push rod 15 to rotate. The rotating shaft can only drive push rod 15 to rotate when storage box 5 is in contact with conveying device 6. Contact between storage box 5 and push rod 15 during movement is avoided, as it could cause the conveying system to stop. If the material gets stuck, the operation of the suspension device and conveyor 6 may be affected, causing the material to flow abnormally and thus affecting production efficiency. When the push rod 15 rotates and contacts the inclined surface of the round rod 16, the push rod 15 will push the round rod 16 to move. The movement of the round rod 16 will push the guide plate 18 to move, and the guide plate 18 will guide the material. Through this guidance, the medicine bottles can enter the storage box 5 more smoothly, reducing production interruptions or efficiency reductions caused by misalignment, jamming, or stagnation of medicine bottles. This maintains the continuity of the production line and maximizes overall efficiency. Production efficiency: When sealing medicine bottles, the medicine bottles placed on the surface of the circular conveyor belt 41 need to be transported to the surface of the transport device 42. The transport device 42 will drive the medicine bottles to move towards the capping machine 46. When the medicine bottles move to contact the guide plate 45, the caps stored in the cap storage tank 43 will slide to the surface of the medicine bottles through the sliding rod 44. When the medicine bottles contact the guide plate 45, they will be driven by the grooves on the surface of the guide plate 45 to move towards the capping machine 46. When the medicine bottles and caps move to the bottom of the capping machine 46, the capping machine 46 will press the caps to seal the medicine bottles.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 Figure 7Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, the storage box 5 is further provided with a placement device for scraping and straightening the sealed medicine bottles and a pulling device for quickly releasing the sliding rod 4 from the storage box 5.

The scraper 26 can push medicine bottles in dead corners into the placement slot, thereby ensuring that all medicine bottles can be stored in the slot in an orderly and complete manner, preventing medicine bottles from missing their storage position due to not being pushed, and ensuring the integrity of the storage process.
[0039] A torsion spring is provided between the inclined plate 21 and the storage box 5. The torsion spring is provided to drive the inclined plate 21 to rotate. A spring is provided between the slide rod 27 and the storage box 5. The spring is provided to drive the slide rod 27 back to its original position. The sliding plate 25 is arc-shaped. A spring is provided between the sliding plate 25 and the storage box 5. The spring is provided to drive the sliding plate 25 back to its original position. A placement slot is provided on the top of the placement frame 22.
[0040] The pulling device includes a clamping plate 31, a fixing rod 32, a pushing block 33, a pull handle 34, a pull rod 35, a locking rod 36, and a pressure plate 37. The clamping plate 31 is slidably installed on the top of the storage box 5. The fixing rod 32 is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping plate 31 near the sliding plate 25. The pull handle 34 slides through the top of the storage box 5. The pushing block 33 is fixedly installed on the side of the pull handle 34 near the fixing rod 32. The pull rod 35 is fixedly installed on the side of the pull handle 34 away from the clamping plate 31. The locking rod 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pull rod 35. The pressure plate 37 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the placement frame 22. A pin is fixedly installed on the side of the locking rod 36 near the pressure plate 37. The pin slides through the pressure plate 37. If the medicine bottles are not effectively secured during the removal of the storage box 5, they may collide with each other due to gravity. Securing the medicine bottles ensures that they remain upright and stable during handling or transfer, avoiding damage or breakage.
[0041] The push block 33 is inclined on the side near the fixed rod 32. The push block 33 is inclined to facilitate the movement of the fixed rod 32. A No. 7 spring is provided between the clamping plate 31 and the storage box 5. The No. 7 spring is provided to facilitate the clamping plate 31 to return to its original position. An No. 8 spring is provided between the pressure plate 37 and the placement frame 22. The No. 8 spring is provided to move the pressure plate 37 to press the medicine bottle.
[0042] In this embodiment, during operation: the rotating push rod 15 contacts the sliding rod 27, causing the push rod 15 to push the sliding rod 27 to slide. The sliding rod 27 pushes the sliding plate 25 to slide towards the sliding rod 4. The sliding plate 25 moves the connecting rod 28, which in turn moves the push plate 29. The push plate 29 guides the medicine bottles that have slid onto the surface of the placement frame 22, allowing them to slide into the placement slot for storage. The push plate 29 ensures that the medicine bottles are stored in a certain order and arrangement when they slide into the storage box 5. This orderly arrangement helps to prevent the medicine bottles from... To prevent confusion or misalignment during storage, this system ensures that each medicine bottle accurately enters the placement slot, improving the accuracy of subsequent operations. The movement of the push plate 29 moves the fixed plate 23, which in turn moves the rotating linkage 24. The rotating linkage 24 then moves the scraper 26, which pushes medicine bottles that the push plate 29 cannot reach. The scraper 26 can push medicine bottles in dead corners into the placement slot, thus ensuring that all medicine bottles are stored in an orderly and complete manner in the slot, preventing medicine bottles from missing their storage position due to not being pushed, and ensuring the integrity of the storage process.
[0043] After the medicine bottles are placed inside storage box 5, storage box 5 needs to be removed and moved to the next processing location. At this point, the worker needs to pull handle 34. Pulling handle 34 will cause it to slide away from storage box 5. This upward movement of handle 34 will move push block 33, which will then contact fixed rod 32. The fixed rod 32 will be pushed by push block 33, causing the clamping plate 31 to move. The movement of clamping plate 31 will release the restriction between storage box 5 and sliding rod 4, quickly releasing the restriction between them. This allows storage box 5, filled with medicine bottles, to be quickly removed and replaced. This method avoids downtime and ensures smooth production line operation, improving production efficiency. Moving the handle 34 upwards will move the clamping rod 36, and moving the lever 35 will move the clamping rod 36. Both clamping rods 36 and clamping rod 36 will release the limit on the pressure plate 37. Once the limit on the pressure plate 37 is released, the pressure plate 37 will be driven by spring 8 to press and fix the placement slot for the medicine bottles. If the medicine bottles are not effectively fixed during the removal of the storage box 5, they may collide with each other due to gravity. Fixing the medicine bottles ensures that they remain upright and stable during handling or transfer, preventing damage or breakage.
