Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated packaging technology for medical sutures, and particularly to a fully automated winding and packaging device for medical sutures. Background Technology
[0002] In order to ensure sterility throughout the processing of medical sutures and eliminate the risk of infection, the medical sutures are processed in a sterile workshop during the production stage and then immediately sealed in medical-grade sterile packaging in a sterile environment, without coming into contact with the external environment at all.
[0003] Before use, medical staff need to check the "sterile indicator" on the packaging to confirm that the packaging is not damaged and the sterility is not compromised. After opening, it can be used directly in surgery without additional sterilization.
[0004] For example, Chinese invention patent application No. 201680012074.4 discloses a packaging package with needle-stitched thread. When removing the needle-stitched thread stored in the packaging package, the thread can be removed without tangling, and the thread is less likely to rub against any point on the packaging package. In addition, the specific steps for sealing the thread are also disclosed.
[0005] However, the above technical solutions only provide a method and steps similar to the packaging steps of the needle-stitched suture in this application, and do not provide an automated packaging structure for realizing the needle-stitched suture.
[0006] Furthermore, Chinese invention patent application number 201920836054.X discloses an inner packaging bag assembly unit for an automatic suture assembly machine; it includes an inner packaging bag feeding module and a suture bag assembly module; the inner packaging bag feeding module includes a horizontal feeding line with multiple positioning grooves spaced parallel to each other for positioning the inner packaging bag; the suture bag assembly module includes an upper adsorption component, a lower adsorption component, and a thread card pushing component; the upper adsorption component includes an upper adsorption head for adsorbing the upper surface of the inner packaging bag opening side, the lower adsorption component includes a lower adsorption head for adsorbing the lower surface of the inner packaging bag opening side, and the thread card pushing component includes a pushing block for pushing the suture thread card into the opening of the inner packaging bag opened by the two adsorption heads.
[0007] However, the patent only discloses a fully automatic packaging device for sealing the sewing thread in a packaging bag, which is not the same as the automated packaging sewing thread device in this application. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the above problems, this invention provides a fully automated winding and packaging device for medical sutures.

[0045] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0046] (1) The present invention uses a winding module to preposition the needle of the suture and simultaneously wind the suture body. Then, the needle and suture body are transferred to the positioning and folding module in conjunction with the transfer module. The positioning and folding module is used to fold the packaging shell, thereby realizing the packaging shell to encapsulate the suture. The entire packaging process is fully automated, with high packaging efficiency, low human intervention, and high sterility.
[0047] (2) The present invention positions the packaging shell by positioning the positioning mold, so that the packaging shell can be folded in a predetermined order, so that the packaging shell will not be misaligned during the sequential folding process, thus ensuring the consistency and stability of the folded seam. Furthermore, due to the corresponding step-by-step folding process, the folding effect is better.
[0048] (3) The present invention uses a wire winder and a wire maker to wind the thread body of the sewing thread, so that the thread body is wound in a regular O-shape. After the thread body is wound, the thread body can be quickly released by the shrinkage of the wire winder rod. During the winding process, the wire winder rod can limit the thread body, making it difficult for the thread body to come off.
[0049] (4) This invention utilizes a shell feeding mechanism to automatically feed the packaged shell, and with the setting of a rotating disk, it can drive the positioning mold to rotate and cycle, thereby realizing a fully automatic cycle from feeding, folding, inspection and unloading. During the packaging process, each processing step is closely connected and the overall processing sequence is well-ordered.
[0050] (5) When the suture is sealed, the present invention takes into account the interference of the needle to the suture sealing and prepositions the needle so that the needle can be stably positioned when the sealing shell is folded. At the same time, the needle can be folded into the sealing shell by the needle flipping mechanism at the end. After the sealing shell is finally sealed, the needle is completely wrapped inside the sealing shell, which is safe and reliable.
[0051] In summary, this invention has the advantages of high automation, good encapsulation effect, excellent antibacterial effect, and high encapsulation efficiency, and is especially suitable for the field of automatic suture encapsulation technology. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0082] Example 1:
[0083] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a fully automated medical suture winding and packaging device includes:
[0084] Winding module I, positioning and folding module II, and transfer module III;
[0085] The winding module I includes a winding device 1 and a wiring device 2. The winding device 1 clamps the needle 101 of the suture 10 and rotates it to wind and wind the thread body 102 of the suture 10. The wiring device 2 winds, straightens and limits the thread body 102.
[0086] The wiring device 2 combs the wire 102 so that it is arranged in a smooth, straight line. This makes it easier for the winding device 1 to wind the wire 1, so that the wire 102 can be smoothly wound around the winding device 1. This avoids the wire from getting tangled during the winding process. The finished wire is stacked in an O-shape.
[0087] The positioning and folding module II includes a positioning mold 3, a first folding mechanism 4, a pressure plate 5, a needle-flipping mechanism 6, and a second folding mechanism 7. The top of the positioning mold 3 is equipped with a packaging shell 20 and a completed suture 10. The suture 10 is located above the packaging shell 20. The positioning mold 3 is cyclically moved along a preset path. The first folding mechanism 4, the pressure plate 5, and the second folding mechanism 7 are arranged sequentially along the preset path. The first folding mechanism 4 cooperates with the positioning mold 3 to fold the first fold 201 and the second fold 202 of the packaging shell 20 by 180° to cover the suture 102. The pressure plate 5 cooperates with the positioning mold 3 to fold the third fold 203 of the packaging shell 20 by 90°. The needle-flipping mechanism 6 picks up the needle 101, flips it 180°, and places it above the first fold 201. The second folding mechanism 7 folds the third fold 203 by 90°, and the third fold 203 covers the needle 101.
[0088] First, a paper packaging shell 20 is laid flat on the positioning mold 3. Then, a suture 10 is placed on top of the packaging shell 20. The thread 102 of the suture 10 is placed at the center of the packaging shell 20, while the needle 101 of the suture 10 is clamped and positioned on the positioning mold 3 outside the packaging shell 20. This avoids interference from the needle 101 when the packaging shell 20 is folded. At the same time, it also facilitates the gripping and positioning when the needle 101 is flipped and placed into the packaging shell later.
[0089] In addition, after the packaging shell 20 is laid flat on the positioning mold 3 and the sewing thread 10 is placed on the packaging shell 20, the packaging shell 20 will first be folded 180° by the first folding mechanism 4 in conjunction with the positioning mold 3. Specifically, the positioning mold 3 first folds the first folding edge 201 and the second folding edge 202 by 90°, so that the first folding edge 201 and the second folding edge 202, which were originally horizontal, are turned into vertical. Then, the first folding mechanism 4 squeezes and folds the first folding edge 201 and the second folding edge 202, so that the first folding edge 201 and the second folding edge 202, which were originally vertical, are turned back into horizontal. Compared with the initial state, the first folding edge 201 and the second folding edge 202 have been flipped 180° from the initial state. At this time, the first folding edge 201 and the second folding edge 202 have completed the wrapping of the wound thread 102.
[0090] Next, the pressure plate 5, together with the positioning mold 3, folds the third fold 203 of the packaging shell 20 by 90°, so that the third fold 203 changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state. Then, the needle flipping mechanism 6 first clamps the needle 101 and flips it 180°, turning it from the outside of the packaging shell 20 to be placed above the first fold 201. Then, the second flipping mechanism 7 completes the final flipping, so that the third fold 203 changes from vertical to horizontal to cover the needle 101, thus completing the packaging of the suture 10.
[0091] It should also be noted that a slanted cutting edge 205 is provided at the crease of the first fold 201, and a horizontal cutting edge 206 is provided at the edge of the third fold 203 corresponding to the cutting edge. After the third fold 203 is folded over to cover the needle 101, the edge of the horizontal cutting edge 206 of the third fold 203 will be inserted into the cutting edge 205, thus locking the third fold 203 and making the encapsulation shell 20 completely encapsulate the suture 10.
[0092] The transfer module III includes a shell feeding mechanism 8 and a suture gripping mechanism 9. The shell feeding mechanism 8 grips the encapsulated shells 20 one by one and loads them onto the positioning mold 3. The encapsulated shells 20 are laid flat on the positioning mold 3. The suture gripping mechanism 9 grips the sutures 10 that have been wound and lays them onto the positioning mold 3 on which the encapsulated shells 20 are loaded. At this time, the encapsulated shells 20 are in a horizontally unfolded state. When the sutures 10 are laid on the encapsulated shells 20, the thread 102 is rolled up on the encapsulated shells 20, and the needle 101 is located outside the encapsulated shells 20.
[0093] Example 2:
[0094] Referring to Example 1, the difference between Example 2 and Example 1 lies in:
[0095] like Figures 6-16 As shown, two sets of winding devices 1 are arranged side by side. The winding device 1 includes a turntable 11, a needle clamp 12 and a winding rod 13.
[0096] The turntable 11 is configured to rotate independently;
[0097] The needle clamp 12 is disposed on the turntable 11. The needle clamp 12 is openable and closable, and the needle clamp 12 clamps the needle 101 for positioning.
[0098] The winding rod 13 is symmetrically arranged on the turntable 11. The winding rod 13 is arranged to expand and contract and swing, and the winding rod 13 is arranged to wind around the line 102.
[0099] Specifically, the turntable 11 is rotatably mounted on a horizontal mounting plate. A bearing is provided between the turntable 11 and the rotatable mounting part of the mounting plate. A synchronous pulley 111 is provided at the lower end of the turntable 11. The synchronous pulley 111 and the synchronous belt are connected to the drive motor 112 for transmission, and the drive motor 112 drives the turntable 11 to rotate.
[0100] In addition, a needle clamping block 12 is provided at the outer circumferential edge of the turntable 11. The needle clamping block 12 consists of a fixed clamping block 121 and a movable clamping block 122. The fixed clamping block 121 is fixedly installed on the turntable 11, while the movable clamping block 122 is movable relative to the fixed clamping block 121. Specifically, an elastic element 123 is provided on the back side of the movable clamping block 122 relative to the movable clamping block 121. A wedge-shaped guide ramp 124 is provided on the side of the movable clamping block 122 facing the fixed clamping block 121. A corresponding push rod 125 is provided on the turntable 11 perpendicular to the guide ramp 124 of the movable clamping block 122. The end of the push rod 125 that corresponds to the guide ramp 124 is also ramped. A set of push rods 125 is provided on the mounting plate. The corresponding cylinder 126 pushes and drives the push rod 125 to press against the guide ramp 124, causing the movable clamping block 122 to move away from the fixed clamping block 121 and compress the elastic element 123. At this time, the needle 101 can be placed into the gap between the movable clamping block 122 and the fixed clamping block 121. After the needle 101 is placed, the cylinder 126 releases the pushing and pressing, and the spring element 123 returns to its elasticity, so that the movable clamping block 122 and the fixed clamping block 121 complete the clamping and limiting of the needle 101. Specifically, before the winding of the thread 102, the needle 101 is clamped and positioned by the needle clamping block 12. After the winding of the thread 102 is completed, the needle clamping block 12 releases the needle 101.
[0101] Furthermore, when the winding rod 13 is symmetrically installed on the turntable 11, the winding rod 13 is oscillatingly installed on the turntable 11, and the end of the winding rod 13 that is oscillating inside the turntable 11 is provided with an elliptical extrusion head 131. The central axis of the turntable 11 is hollow, and the extrusion head 131 is located exactly at the hollow position. An upper push rod 132 is inserted at the hollow position, and the top of the upper push rod 132 is provided with an extrusion groove 133 that matches the extrusion head 131. The upper push rod 132 is driven by the lower upper push cylinder 134 to lift it up. Specifically, initially... The winding rod 13 is set in an inverted V-shape with the winding rod open outwards. Then, the turntable 11 rotates actively, winding the linearly arranged wire 102 on the wire cutter 2 onto the V-shaped winding rod 13. After the wire 102 is wound, the upper cylinder 134 pulls down, driving the upper push rod 132 downwards. This causes the extrusion groove 133 to cooperate with the extrusion head 131, turning the inverted V-shaped winding rod 13 into a parallel winding rod 13. This allows the subsequently wound wire 102 to be directly picked up and detached from the winding rod 13.
[0102] The wiring device 2 used for laying the wiring body 102 specifically includes an electric slide table 21, a sliding seat 22, a V-shaped seat 23, a floating wire wheel 24, a fixed wire wheel 25, a wire seat 26, a wire pressing roller 27, and a wire ring 28.
[0103] The electric slide 21 is horizontally arranged, and the electric slide 21 drives the sliding seat 22 to move laterally. The sliding seat 22 includes a horizontal section 221 and an inclined section 222.
[0104] The V-shaped seat 23 is installed on the horizontal section 221. A V-shaped groove 231 is provided on the V-shaped seat 23, and a wire body 102 is laid on the top of the V-shaped groove 231.
[0105] The floating guide wheel 24 is installed on the horizontal section 221. One side of the floating guide wheel 24 is elastically abutted and limited, and an annular guide groove 241 is opened on the floating guide wheel 24. The wire body 102 is wound in the guide groove 241.
[0106] The fixed guide wheel 25 is rotatably mounted on the inclined section 222. The fixed guide wheel 25 has an annular guide groove 251, and the wire body 102 is wound in the guide groove 251.
[0107] The wire seat 26 is installed on the inclined section 222. The wire seat 26 has a V-shaped guide groove 261 and a wire pressing groove 262 for guiding the wire body 102.
[0108] The pressing roller 27 is positioned directly opposite the pressing groove 262, and the pressing roller 27 cooperates with the pressing groove 262 to limit the position of the thread body 102.
[0109] The guide ring 28 is installed directly below the pressure roller 27, and an open guide ring groove 281 is provided at the center of the guide ring 28.
[0110] Specifically, the electric slide table 21 is set along the line body 102, and the corresponding sliding seat 22 is driven by the electric slide table 21 to move along the direction perpendicular to the line body 102, adjusting the position of the line body 102. The line body 102 is laid along the V-shaped guide groove 261 of the V-shaped seat 23. The line body 102 passes sequentially through the guide groove 241 on the floating guide wheel 24, the guide groove 251 on the fixed guide wheel 25, and finally reaches the V-shaped guide groove 261 and the wire pressing groove 262 at the guide seat 26. Finally, it passes through the guide ring groove 281 of the guide ring 28. It is important to note that a pressure roller 27 is provided at the pressure groove 262. The pressure roller 27 is driven by the adjusting cylinder 271 to move and adjust in the horizontal direction. Through the cooperation of the pressure roller 27 and the pressure groove 262, the thread 102 is limited to prevent it from falling off, so that the thread 102 can always be transported in an orderly manner when it is being wound. In addition, the guide ring 28 adopts an open guide ring groove 281, which is also to facilitate the quick and smooth manual threading of the sewing thread 10 when it is laid manually.
[0111] Example 3:
[0112] Referring to Example 1, the difference between Example 3 and Example 1 lies in the following:
[0113] like Figures 17-30 , Figure 36 As shown, the positioning mold 3 includes a mold base 31, a positioning clamping block 32, a snap-edge seat 33, a limiting rod 34, a first ejector tongue 35, a second ejector tongue 36, and a third ejector tongue 37.
[0114] The top of the mold base 31 is horizontally positioned;
[0115] The positioning clamp 32 is installed on one side of the mold base 31, and the positioning clamp 32 clamps and positions the needle 101.
[0116] The fastening seat 33 is installed on the top of the mold base 31. Two sets of the fastening seat 33 are provided to fasten the two sides of the encapsulation shell 20 respectively.
[0117] The limiting rod 34 is lifted and installed inside the mold base 31, and the limiting rod 34 is inserted into the positioning hole 204 on the packaging shell 20.
[0118] The first tongue 35, the second tongue 36 and the third tongue 37 are all mounted on the mold base 31 in a lifting manner. The first tongue 35 lifts the first folded edge 201, the second tongue 36 lifts the second folded edge 202 and the third tongue 37 lifts the third folded edge 203.
[0119] Furthermore, the positioning module 3 is provided in six sets, all of which are mounted on the rotating disk 30 and rotated and cyclically by the rotating disk 30.
[0120] Along the rotation path of the rotary disk 30, there are sequentially arranged a feeding station 301, a first folding station 302, a second folding station 303, a third folding station 304, an inspection station 305, and a discharge station 306.
[0121] The outer shell feeding mechanism 8 is located at the feeding station 301, the first folding mechanism 4 is located at the first folding station 302, the pressure plate 5 is located between the first folding station 302 and the third folding station 304, the needle flipping mechanism 6 and the second folding mechanism 7 are both located at the third folding station 304, the detection station 305 is equipped with a detection mechanism 40, the discharge station 306 is equipped with a discharge mechanism 50, and a discharge channel and a receiving hopper are located next to the discharge mechanism 50. The discharge channel outputs the packaged outer shell 20 that has been grabbed by the discharge mechanism 50, and the receiving hopper receives the packaged outer shell 20.
[0122] It should be noted that the rotating disk 30 is driven to rotate by the electric spindle 3000 below. The six sets of positioning molds 3 are evenly distributed on the circumferential edge of the rotating disk 30. Each set of positioning molds 3 corresponds to the loading station 301, the first folding station 302, the second folding station 303, the third folding station 304, the inspection station 305, and the unloading station 306 on the rotating disk 30. The rotating disk 30 is used to switch the positioning molds 3 between the various stations.
[0123] To further explain, the mold base 31 is horizontally mounted on the rotating disk 30, and the positioning clamp 32 is mounted on the mold base 31. The structure and working principle of the positioning clamp 32 are similar to those of the needle clamp 12 mentioned above. The difference is that the movable positioning clamp 321 in the positioning clamp 32 is directly driven by the side cylinder 322 to move relative to the fixed positioning clamp 323. The movable positioning clamp 321 is also reset by the elastic compression of the spring. The elastic force of the spring drives the movable positioning clamp 321 to cooperate with the fixed positioning clamp 323 to clamp and fix the needle 101. When unlocking, the side cylinder 322 pushes to unlock, so that the movable positioning clamp 321 moves away from the fixed positioning clamp 323, thereby releasing the needle 101.
[0124] Furthermore, the retaining seat 33 consists of two sets of retaining seats 33, left and right. Both sets of retaining seats 33 are slidably mounted on the mold base 31, and the left and right sets of retaining seats 33 move towards or away from each other. The top of each retaining seat 33 is provided with a slot 331 that engages with the encapsulation shell 20. A return spring 330 and a pressing rod 332 are respectively provided on both sides of each retaining seat 33. The end of the pressing rod 332 extending outward from the retaining seat 33 is provided with a guide ramp. The mold base 31 is provided with a horizontal push rod 333 that corresponds to and cooperates with the guide ramp of the pressing rod 332. The horizontal push rod 333 also has a ramp that corresponds to and cooperates with the guide ramp. Horizontal pressing cylinders 334 are provided at both the loading station 301 and the unloading station 306 to press the horizontal push rod 333. These horizontal pressing cylinders 334 are fixedly mounted. On the fixed disk 335 fixedly installed at the center of the rotating disk 30, the fixed disk 335 is connected to the gearbox of the electric spindle 3000 by a fixed connection. At the loading station 301, the horizontal cylinder 334 presses the horizontal push rod 333, causing the left and right sets of retaining seats 33 to move in opposite directions. When the package shell 20 is placed on the mold base 31, the horizontal cylinder 334 releases the pressure, and the left and right sets of retaining seats 33 move towards each other through the return spring 330, so that the slot 331 fits with the two ends of the package shell 20, thereby positioning the package shell 20. At the unloading station 306, the horizontal cylinder 334 presses the horizontal push rod 333, causing the left and right sets of retaining seats 33 to move in opposite directions, and the slot 331 disengages from the fitting limit of the package shell 20, so that the package shell 20 can be unloaded.
[0125] Furthermore, the limit rods 34 are lifted and installed on the mold base 31, and all the limit rods 34 are installed on the same lifting block 341. At the loading station 301, located below the rotary disk 30, a drive cylinder 342 is provided to drive the limit rods 34 to lift. At the loading station 301, the drive cylinder 342 drives the lifting block 341 to lift, so that all the limit rods 34 are lifted synchronously. Specifically, at the loading station 301, when the packaging shell 20 is mounted on the mold base 31... The drive cylinder 342 first raises the limit rod 34, causing the positioning hole 204 on the package shell 20 to interlock with the limit rod 34, thus positioning the package shell 20. Then, the retaining seat 33 fits into the package shell 20 through the slot 331. After the fit is complete, the drive cylinder 342 resets, causing the limit rod 34 to reset. In this way, when the package shell 20 is being fed, the slot 331 of the retaining seat 33 can perfectly fit into the package shell 20.
[0126] Furthermore, the first ejector tongue 35, the second ejector tongue 36, and the third ejector tongue 37 are all mounted on the mold base 31 in a lifting manner, and correspond to the first folded edge 201, the second folded edge 202, and the third folded edge 203, respectively. The first ejector tongue 35, the second ejector tongue 36, and the third ejector tongue 37 respectively fold the first folded edge 201, the second folded edge 202, and the third folded edge 203 from the horizontal state by 90°, so that the first folded edge 201, the second folded edge 202, and the third folded edge 203 are folded to the vertical state. Among them, the material loading station 30 is located at the vertical position. At point 1, below the rotating disk 30, there is a lifting block 351 that drives the first tongue 35 and the second tongue 36 to lift synchronously. The lifting block 351 is driven by the lifting cylinder 352 to lift, so that the first folded edge 201 and the second folded edge 202 are folded. At the second folding station 303, there is a lifting cylinder 371 that lifts the third tongue 37 and folds the third folded edge 203, which is also folded 90° from the horizontal state to the vertical state.
[0127] It is important to emphasize that when lifting and folding the third top tongue 37, it is necessary to cooperate with the pressure plate 5. The pressure plate 5 is arc-shaped and is located between the first folding station 302 and the second folding station 303. The function of the pressure plate 5 is to limit the first folded edge 201 and the second folded edge 202 that have been folded, so as to prevent the first folded edge 201 and the second folded edge 202 from lifting to a certain extent due to the material properties. The pressure plate 5 is used to maintain the folding of the first folded edge 201 and the second folded edge 202 for a certain period of time. At the second folding station 303, the pressure plate 5 is equipped with a limiting pressure plate 51 to limit the 90° folding of the third folded edge 203. The limiting pressure plate 51 is L-shaped. In addition, an arc-shaped pressure plate 5 is also provided between the third folding station 304 and the inspection station 305 to keep the third folded edge 203 folded to a horizontal state.
[0128] The first folding mechanism 4 for folding the first fold 201 and the second fold 202 specifically includes a push plate 41 and a push bar 42 that are horizontally telescopically movable. The push plate 41 is U-shaped and presses to fold the first fold 201. The push bar 42 is elongated and presses to fold the second fold 202.
[0129] Specifically, the first folding mechanism 4 is located at the first folding station 302. The push plate 41 is pushed by the push plate cylinder 411 installed on the fixed plate 335. The push plate 41 squeezes and folds the first folded edge 201. The first folded edge 201 is folded from a vertical state to a horizontal state by the squeeze of the push plate 41. The first folded edge 201 is used to cover the line body 102. The push bar 42 is pushed by the push bar cylinder 421 fixedly installed on the working platform. The push bar 42 squeezes and folds the second folded edge 202. The second folded edge 202 is folded from a vertical state to a horizontal state by the squeeze of the push bar 42. It is important to emphasize that the folding of the second folded edge 202 is the folding of the corner of the third folded edge 203, which is to facilitate the unpacking of the outer shell 20.
[0130] It should also be noted that before the pusher 42 folds the second fold 202, a pressure strip 43 is also provided at the first folding station 302. The pressure strip 43 is set parallel to the pusher 42. The pressure strip 43 is driven by the lifting cylinder 431 and the flat pushing cylinder 432 to move horizontally and vertically. The pressure strip 43 presses the third fold 203 to prevent the third fold 203 from folding and lifting up when the second fold 202 is folded, thereby ensuring the horizontal state of the third fold 203.
[0131] The needle-flipping mechanism 6 includes a pneumatic gripper 61 that moves horizontally in the lateral direction and vertically in the longitudinal direction. The pneumatic gripper 61 grips and moves the needle tip 101. Specifically, the pneumatic gripper 61 is installed by a mounting column 611. A horizontal slide rail assembly 612 is installed on the top of the mounting column 611. A horizontal slide plate 613 is provided on the horizontal slide rail assembly 612. The horizontal slide plate 613 is pushed horizontally by a horizontal pneumatic gripper cylinder 614. Correspondingly, a longitudinal slide rail assembly 615 is provided on the horizontal slide plate 613. A longitudinal slide plate 616 is slidably provided on the longitudinal slide rail assembly 615. The pneumatic gripper 61 is installed on the longitudinal slide plate 616. A longitudinal pneumatic gripper cylinder 617 is provided above the longitudinal slide plate 616 to drive the longitudinal slide plate 616 to move vertically.
[0132] The second folding mechanism 7 includes a folding plate 71 that is horizontally telescopically movable. The folding plate 71 is U-shaped and the folding plate 71 presses and folds the third fold 203. Specifically, the folding plate 71 is driven by a push cylinder 711 mounted on the workbench to press the third fold 203.
[0133] Specifically, when the positioning mold 3 rotates and moves to the third folding station 304, the needle flipping mechanism 6 first uses the pneumatic gripper 61 to clamp the needle 101 and flip it. Therefore, a side cylinder 322 for unlocking the positioning clamp 32 is provided at the third folding station 304. The side cylinder 322 first unlocks the positioning clamp 32, and then the pneumatic gripper 61 clamps the needle 101 and flips it onto the packaging shell 20. After that, the pneumatic gripper 61 resets, and the push cylinder 711 drives the folding plate 71 to push, flipping the third folding edge 203, which is in a vertical state, to a horizontal state, covering the needle 101.
[0134] The inspection mechanism 40 at inspection station 305 uses a vision camera 401 located above inspection station 305 to inspect the interlocking and engagement of the shearing blade 205 and horizontal blade 206 on the packaging shell 20 of the positioning mold 3 at inspection station 305. It should be noted that an upward-lifting ejector pin 300 is positioned on the positioning mold 3 directly opposite the shearing blade 205. The ejector pin 300, lifted by the ejector cylinder 301 below inspection station 305, pushes the shearing blade 205 upward, causing it to tilt upwards and engage with the horizontal blade 206. 6. After the interlocking is completed, and when the ejector pin 300 pushes upward, the corresponding pressure plate 308 above the package shell 20 also presses down on the package shell 20, so that the ejector pin can push up the shearing blade 205. During the inspection, the vision camera 401 first takes a picture of the package shell 20 below. After taking the picture, the image is compared with the pre-stored package shell image by the processor. If the shape of the package shell that has been cut to the point where the shearing blade 205 and the horizontal blade 206 interlock is consistent with the pre-stored image, it is qualified. If the package shell that has not completed the interlocking is inconsistent with the pre-stored image, it is unqualified.
[0135] Furthermore, the positioning mold 3 located at the unloading station 306 needs to unlock the snap fastener 33 from the packaging shell 20. Therefore, a horizontal cylinder 334 is provided at the unloading station 306. The horizontal cylinder 334 unlocks the snap fastener 33, and then the unloading mechanism 50 vacuum-adsorbs the packaging shell 20, so that the packaging shell 20 is detached from the positioning mold 3 for unloading.
[0136] Specifically, such as Figure 32 As shown, the discharge mechanism 50 includes a vacuum discharge nozzle 501. The vacuum discharge nozzle 501 is driven to reciprocate in the horizontal direction by a horizontally arranged shaftless cylinder 502. In the vertical direction, the vacuum discharge nozzle 501 is also driven to move in the vertical direction by a discharge lifting cylinder 503, so that the vacuum discharge nozzle 501 can press down to adsorb the packaging shell 20 for discharge.
[0137] Example 4:
[0138] Referring to Examples 1-3, the difference between Example 4 and Examples 1-3 is that:
[0139] like Figure 31 , Figure 33 As shown, the outer casing feeding mechanism 8 includes a hopper 81 and a vacuum nozzle 82;
[0140] The hopper 81 stores stacked packaging shells 20. The material carrier plate 83 at the bottom of the hopper 81 is adjustable for lifting and floating. The material carrier plate 83 is driven to lift and lower by a vertically set electric push rod 831.
[0141] The vacuum nozzle 82 moves horizontally and rises and falls vertically. The vacuum nozzle 82 picks up the packaged shell 20 in the hopper 81 and transfers it to the positioning mold 3. Specifically, the moving structure of the vacuum nozzle 82 is the same as the moving and lifting structure of the vacuum discharge nozzle 501, which will not be described in detail here. The vacuum nozzle 82 picks up the stacked packaged shells 20 from the top of the hopper 81 and transfers them one by one to the positioning mold 3 located at the loading station 301.
[0142] Correspondingly, such as Figure 34 , Figure 35 As shown, the suture gripping mechanism 9 includes a robotic arm 91, a first gripper 92, and a second gripper 93;
[0143] The robotic arm 91 drives the first gripper 92 and the second gripper 93 to move and be positioned.
[0144] The first gripper 92 grips the needle 101, and the second gripper 93 grips the thread 102.
[0145] Specifically, after the vacuum nozzle 82 completes the adsorption and feeding of the packaging shell 20, the robot arm 91 grasps the needle 101 and the thread 102 through the first gripper 92 and the second gripper 93. After grasping, the needle 101 and the thread 102 are moved to the packaging shell 20 on the positioning mold 3, where the needle 101 is clamped and fixed at the positioning clamping block 32 on the positioning mold 3. Therefore, through the cooperation of the shell feeding mechanism 8 and the sewing thread grasping mechanism 9, the feeding of the packaging shell 20 and the sewing thread 10 is realized.
[0146] The above description is only 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.
