Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plastic ampoule bottle boxing, and more particularly to a multi-station coordinated plastic ampoule bottle boxing machine. Background Art

[0002] A plastic ampoule refers to a small container made of plastic material and shaped like an ampoule. It generally has a slender neck and a relatively large body. The body is mostly cylindrical with a sealable mouth on the top. It is mainly used to contain various injectable drugs, oral liquid preparations, etc. It is widely used in the packaging of vaccines, biological preparations, small-volume injections and other drugs. The plastic ampoule can be automatically loaded into the medicine box by a cartoning machine.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent with announcement number CN220786255U discloses a multi-material cartoning device, in which a workstation is provided on the workstation belt of the cartoning machine, and the workstation is divided into a dropper placement slot and a medicine bottle placement slot. The feed star wheel guides the dropper in the clamping conveying channel into the dropper placement slot in a horizontal manner, and the bottle picking robot sucks the medicine bottle on the material conveyor belt into the medicine bottle placement slot in a horizontal manner. The workstation belt of the cartoning machine transports the dropper and medicine bottle in the workstation bin to the continuous cartoning machine, and pushes the medicine bottle in the medicine bottle placement slot of the workstation bin and the dropper in the dropper placement slot of the workstation bin into the packaging box at the same time, thereby realizing the simultaneous pushing of both medicine bottles and droppers into the packaging box, with good continuous operation, high production efficiency and manpower saving.

[0004] When the above-mentioned cartoning device is used for plastic ampoules, the material conveyor belt transports the plastic ampoules and transports the plastic ampoules to the bottle-picking robot. The bottle-picking robot takes the plastic ampoules from the material conveyor belt, but it is inconvenient to correct the deviation of the plastic ampoules. When the plastic ampoules are transported on the material conveyor belt, the position of the plastic ampoules is easily offset due to factors such as vibration and uneven friction. If the plastic ampoules are not corrected, the position of the ampoules grasped by the bottle-picking robot will be inaccurate, so that when the ampoules are subsequently loaded into the packaging box, the ampoules cannot be loaded into the packaging box, and manual intervention or re-operation is required, which greatly reduces the cartoning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-station coordinated plastic ampoule bottle cartoning machine, which aims to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-station collaborative plastic ampoule bottle cartoning machine, comprising a cartoning machine main body and a first conveyor belt, and the first conveyor belt is fixedly installed at the top center position of the cartoning machine main body, two manipulators are movably provided on the front and rear sides of the first conveyor belt, and multiple manipulators are fixedly installed on the top of the cartoning machine main body, a protective frame is fixedly connected to the top edge position of the cartoning machine main body, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the inner bottom center position of the protective frame, a camera is fixedly installed at the bottom center position of the fixed frame, a correction component is provided on the fixed frame, the correction component includes positive and negative screw rods, two movable frames, two side plates, two second screw rods, two extrusion plates, two gaskets, multiple threaded sleeves, a bevel gear set and a stepping motor, the positive and negative screw rods are movably connected to the fixed frame through bearings, the two movable frames are both threadedly connected to the outer sides of the positive and negative screw rods, and the opposite sides of the two movable frames pass through the fixed frame, and the facing sides of the two side plates are respectively fixedly connected to the two movable frames.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom ends of the two second screw rods respectively pass through the two side plates and are fixedly connected to the two extrusion plates, and the opposite sides of the two gaskets are respectively fixedly connected to the two extrusion plates.

[0008] Furthermore, the plurality of threaded sleeves are movably sleeved on the two second screw rods, and one side of the plurality of threaded sleeves is in contact with the two side plates respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the stepper motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed frame, and the output shaft end of the stepper motor is connected to the forward and reverse lead screws via a bevel gear set.

[0010] Furthermore, two clamping blocks are fixedly connected to the interior of the two side plates, and the outer sides of the multiple clamping blocks extend into the interior of the two second screw rods respectively.

[0011] It can be seen that in the above technical solution, the deflection of the second screw rod is limited.

[0012] Furthermore, two second conveyor belts are movably provided on one side of the cartoning machine body.

[0013] Furthermore, a side frame is fixedly connected to the other side of the cartoning machine body, and an alarm component is provided on the side frame. The alarm component includes a storage plate, a control button, a pressure plate, a vertical cylinder, a first screw rod and an alarm.

[0014] Furthermore, the control button is fixedly mounted at the bottom center of the storage plate, the pressure plate is located at the bottom of the control button, and the bottom end of the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the vertical tube, and the alarm is fixedly mounted at the inner bottom end of the side frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the vertical cylinder is connected to the outer side of the first screw rod by a thread, and the bottom end of the first screw rod is fixedly connected to the side frame.

[0016] It can be seen that in the above technical solution, the distance between the pressure plate and the control button can be easily adjusted according to needs.

[0017] Furthermore, two limit rods are fixedly connected to the inside of the side frame, and slides are movably provided on the two limit rods, and the opposite sides of the two slides are fixedly connected to the storage plate, and the bottom ends of the two slides are fixedly connected to springs, and the bottom ends of the two springs are fixedly connected to the side frame.

[0018] It can be seen that in the above technical solution, the storage plate drives the two slides to slide on the two limit rods respectively to prevent the storage plate from deflecting. When the weight of the box body is greater than the elastic limit of the spring, the two springs will be compressed.

[0019] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:

[0020] 1. The present invention conveys plastic ampoules through a first conveyor belt, and uses a camera to capture real-time images of the plastic ampoules at the bottom. The stepper motor can drive two squeezing plates and two gaskets to move toward each other, and the two squeezing plates and two gaskets are used to squeeze and correct the plastic ampoules, so that the plastic ampoules are located at the top center of the first conveyor belt. The operation is simple, the deviation correction of the plastic ampoules is convenient, and the boxing efficiency is effectively improved.

[0021] 2. The present invention uses a first conveyor belt to drive the box body to move to the top of the side frame, and the box body presses the storage plate, thereby driving the control button to move downward. When the control button contacts and presses the pressure plate, an alarm sounds to remind the staff that the box body is overweight and there is a phenomenon of overloading. The vertical cylinder is rotated and moved vertically on the first screw rod. The distance between the pressure plate and the control button is adjusted according to demand, so that different plastic ampoules can be tested. The structure is simple and convenient for product testing.

[0022] 3. The present invention uses a robot to grab the packaging box and place it on the top of the first conveyor belt. Another robot grabs the plastic ampoule on the second conveyor belt and places it on the top of the first conveyor belt. Then, another robot places the plastic ampoule in the packaging box. This cycle is repeated to quickly box the plastic ampoules. When one of the second conveyor belts fails, the plastic ampoule can be transported by the other second conveyor belt. Multiple stations work together to further improve the boxing efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The following describes the implementation of the present invention using specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the present invention, not all of it. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-6The multi-station cooperative plastic ampoule bottle cartoning machine of this embodiment includes a cartoning machine body 1 and a first conveyor belt 2, and the first conveyor belt 2 is fixedly installed at the top center position of the cartoning machine body 1. Two manipulators 4 are movably provided on both the front and rear sides of the first conveyor belt 2, and multiple manipulators 4 are fixedly installed at the top of the cartoning machine body 1. A protective frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top edge position of the cartoning machine body 1, and a fixed frame 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom center position of the inner bottom of the protective frame 5. A camera 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom center position of the fixed frame 8, and a camera 10 is provided on the fixed frame 8. There is a correction component 9, which includes forward and reverse screw rods 901, two movable frames 902, two side plates 903, two second screw rods 904, two extrusion plates 905, two gaskets 906, multiple threaded sleeves 907, a bevel gear set 908 and a stepping motor 909. The forward and reverse screw rods 901 are movably connected to the fixed frame 8 through bearings. The two movable frames 902 are both threadedly connected to the outer sides of the forward and reverse screw rods 901, and the opposite sides of the two movable frames 902 pass through the fixed frame 8. The opposite sides of the two side plates 903 are respectively fixedly connected to the two movable frames 902.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom ends of the two second screw rods 904 respectively pass through the two side plates 903 and are fixedly connected to the two extrusion plates 905, and the opposite sides of the two gaskets 906 are fixedly connected to the two extrusion plates 905 respectively. Multiple threaded sleeves 907 are movably mounted on the two second screw rods 904, and one side of multiple threaded sleeves 907 are in contact with the two side plates 903 respectively. The stepper motor 909 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 8, and the output shaft end of the stepper motor 909 is connected to the forward and reverse screw rods 901 through a bevel gear set 908. The interior of the two side plates 903 is fixedly connected to two clamping blocks 910, and the outer sides of the multiple clamping blocks 910 extend into the interior of the two second screw rods 904 respectively.

[0034] Furthermore, two second conveyor belts 3 are movably provided on one side of the cartoning machine body 1 .

[0035] Among them, the robot 4 works to grab the packaging box and place it on the top of the first conveyor belt 2, and conveys the plastic ampoule bottle through the second conveyor belt 3. When the plastic ampoule bottle is on the top of the second conveyor belt 3, another robot 4 works to grab the plastic ampoule bottle on the second conveyor belt 3 and place it on the top of the first conveyor belt 2. Then, the plastic ampoule bottle is placed in the packaging box through another robot 4. This cycle is repeated to quickly box the plastic ampoule bottles. When one of the second conveyor belts 3 fails, the plastic ampoule bottle can be conveyed by the other second conveyor belt 3. Multiple stations cooperate to further improve the boxing efficiency. It is worth noting that a storage rack for placing packaging boxes is provided on the rear side of the cartoning machine body 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the other side of the cartoning machine body 1 is fixedly connected to a side frame 6, and an alarm component 7 is provided on the side frame 6. The alarm component 7 includes a storage plate 701, a control button 702, a pressure plate 703, a vertical cylinder 704, a first screw rod 705 and an alarm 706. The control button 702 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the storage plate 701, the pressure plate 703 is located at the bottom of the control button 702, and the bottom end of the pressure plate 703 is fixedly connected to the vertical cylinder 704. The alarm 706 is fixedly installed. At the inner bottom end of the side frame 6, the vertical cylinder 704 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the first screw rod 705, and the bottom end of the first screw rod 705 is fixedly connected to the side frame 6. Two limit rods 708 are fixedly connected to the inside of the side frame 6. Slides 707 are movably provided on the two limit rods 708, and the facing sides of the two slides 707 are fixedly connected to the storage plate 701. The bottom ends of the two slides 707 are fixedly connected to springs 709, and the bottom ends of the two springs 709 are fixedly connected to the side frame 6.

[0037] When the box is loaded, the first conveyor belt 2 drives the box body to move to the top of the side frame 6, and the box body squeezes the storage plate 701, thereby driving the control button 702 to move downward. When the control button 702 contacts and squeezes the pressure plate 703, the control button 702 controls the alarm 706 to work. When the alarm 706 sounds an alarm, it reminds the staff that the box body is overweight and there is a phenomenon of overloading. The vertical cylinder 704 is rotated and moved vertically on the first screw rod 705, thereby driving the pressure plate 703 to move vertically. The distance between the pressure plate 703 and the control button 702 is adjusted according to demand, so that different plastic ampoule weights can be detected. The structure is simple and convenient for product testing. At the same time, the storage plate 701 drives the two slides 707 to slide on the two limit rods 708 respectively to prevent the storage plate 701 from deflecting. When the weight of the box body is greater than the elastic limit of the spring 709, the two springs 709 will be compressed.

[0038] The method of using this embodiment is:

[0039] During use, the plastic ampoules are conveyed by the first conveyor belt 2, and the real-time image of the plastic ampoules at the bottom is collected by the camera 10. It is worth noting that the camera 10 can identify whether the plastic ampoules are misplaced through the supporting industrial computer and AI algorithm. When the plastic ampoules are misplaced, the stepper motor 909 is started. Since the bevel gear set 908 includes two bevel gears, and the two bevel gears are fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 909 and the forward and reverse screw rods 901 respectively, the stepper motor 909 can drive the forward and reverse screw rods 901 to rotate through the bevel gear set 908. Since the two movable frames 902 are both threadedly connected to the forward and reverse screw rods 901, the fixed frame 8 limits the rotation of the two movable frames 902, so the forward and reverse screw rods 901 can drive the two movable frames 902 to move toward each other, thereby The two side plates 903 and the two second screw rods 904 are driven to move toward each other, and then the two extrusion plates 905 and the two gaskets 906 are driven to move toward each other. The plastic ampoule bottle is squeezed and corrected by the two extrusion plates 905 and the two gaskets 906, and the plastic ampoule bottle is located at the top center position of the first conveyor belt 2. The operation is simple, and it is convenient to correct the deviation of the plastic ampoule bottle, which effectively improves the boxing efficiency. The threaded sleeve 907 is rotated and moved away from the side plate 903, thereby releasing the fixation between the second screw rod 904 and the side plate 903, and the second screw rod 904 is moved vertically to drive the extrusion plate 905 to move vertically. The position of the extrusion plate 905 is adjusted according to the height of the plastic ampoule bottle. Similarly, the second screw rod 904 is fixed, and the two blocking blocks 910 can limit the deflection of the second screw rod 904.
