Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medicine packaging, and in particular relates to a device for arranging and shaping medicine bottle caps. Background Art

[0002] In the pharmaceutical market, there are many oral tablets packaged in small medicine bottles (tubes). For example, dialysis, motion sickness medicine, and effervescent tablets are packaged in small tube bottles. Because the bottle cap is small, the bottle cap (made of PVC) and the bottle body are soft, especially the bottle cap is easy to deform and twist. When using the "tablet loading machine" to buckle the cap (sealing the bottle cap and the bottle body), the cap is often not tightly buckled, and the bottle and cap are damaged. In the mass production process, it was found that the deformation and twisting of the bottle cap is inconsistent with the shape of the bottle mouth.

[0003] The traditional "cap-straightening device" on the market only simply arranges the bottle caps in the front and back directions. It does not have the functions of cap shaping, automatic loading (bottle caps), adjustable bottle sorting speed, bottle cap reserve detection, production output statistics, and can no longer meet the production needs of pharmaceutical packaging, and is not suitable for continued promotion and use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, a medicine bottle cap sorting and shaping device of the utility model comprises a falling device 1 and a sorting and shaping device 2 connected below the discharge port of the falling device 1; the sorting and shaping device 2 comprises a vibration plate 201, a bottle cap detection sensor A203, a bottle cap track 204, a heating fan 205, a shaping mechanism 206, a missing cap detection sensor B207 and a cooling fan 208; the feed port of the vibration plate 201 is arranged below the discharge port of the falling device 1, the bottle cap detection sensor A203 is arranged above the vibration plate 201, and the bottle cap track 204 is arranged at the outlet of the vibration plate 201, and the bottle cap track 204 is sequentially provided with a heating fan 205, a shaping mechanism 206, a cooling fan 208 and a missing cap detection sensor B207 from the inlet end to the outlet end, and the number of the heating fan 205, the shaping mechanism 206 and the cooling fan 208 are all two, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottle cap track 204.

[0017] like Figure 4As shown, the bottle cap track 204 is a square frame structure with a long notch on the upper end, and the bottle cap 3 moves in the inner cavity of the bottle cap track 204 .

[0018] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, each shaping mechanism 206 includes a shaping micromotor 2061 and a roller 2062 mounted on the output shaft of the shaping micromotor 2061; the axial direction of the roller 2062 is in the vertical direction, and the bottle cap track 204 is provided with mounting notches at corresponding positions of the two rollers 2062, so that the two rollers 2062 can rotate to clamp the bottle cap 3 and shape the bottle cap 3. The shaping micromotor 2061 is fixed on both sides of the bottle cap track 204.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottle cap detection sensor A203 is installed above the vibration plate 201 through the sensor bracket 202.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the vibration plate 201 is supported by a support B210, and a shock-absorbing spring B209 is installed between the vibration plate 201 and the support B210.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, a vertical cover baffle 211 is arranged above the spiral ascending channel of the vibration plate 201. A series of inclined circular plates 212 are arranged at the bottom of the spiral ascending channel located at the uppermost layer.

[0022] During the rising process of the bottle cap 3, there are three states on the track: upright cap, cap opening upward, and cap opening downward. The upright cap is blocked and falls to the bottom of the vibration plate 201 when passing through the upright cap blocking piece 211 on the track. When the bottle cap opening is downward and passes through the inclined circular piece 212, since the diameter of the inclined circular piece 212 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle cap 3, as the vibration plate 201 vibrates, the bottle cap 3 tilts on the inclined circular piece 212 and loses weight and falls to the bottom of the vibration plate 201. When the bottle cap 3 with the bottle cap opening upward passes through the inclined circular piece 212, the bottom of the bottle cap 3 is on the inclined circular piece 212, the center of gravity is relatively stable, and it is not easy to fall.

[0023] Only when the bottle caps 3 face upwards can they pass through, so that the bottle caps 3 are automatically and orderly arranged.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, the falling device 1 includes a hopper 101, an adjusting bolt 103, an inclined plate 104 and a vibrator A105; a vibrator A105 is installed at the bottom of the hopper 101, a discharge port is arranged on the right side wall of the hopper 101, an inclined plate 104 is arranged in the inner cavity of the hopper 101, the lower end of the inclined plate 104 is placed on the bottom plate at the discharge port of the hopper 101, a long positioning hole 102 is provided on the front side wall of the hopper 101, one end of the adjusting bolt 103 is connected to the upper end of the inclined plate 104, the other end of the adjusting bolt 103 passes through the long positioning hole 102, and the adjusting bolt 103 is fixed by a nut to fix the inclined plate 104 on the hopper 101.

[0025] The tilting plate 104 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the bolt 103 to drive the tilting plate 104 to move up and down, and the adjusting bolt 103 is fixed by a nut. The material discharge speed can be changed by adjusting the tilting angle of the tilting plate 104.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the vertical cross section of the upper end of the inclined plate 104 is q-shaped. The adjusting bolt 103 is threadedly connected with the through hole at the upper end of the inclined plate 104.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the vibrator A105 is supported by a support A107, and a shock absorbing spring A106 is installed between the shock absorbing spring A106 and the support A107.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an extension plate 108 is provided at the discharge port of the hopper 101 , and the extension plate 108 extends to above the vibration plate 201 .

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] When the bottle cap detection sensor A203 on the vibration disk 201 detects that there are fewer bottle caps 3 in the vibration disk 201, the control system PLC receives the signal of the bottle cap detection sensor A203 and controls the vibrator A105, so that the bottle caps 3 in the hopper 101 pass through the discharge port of the hopper 101 and enter the vibration disk 201 under the vibration of the vibrator A105 (pulse electromagnet). At the same time, when the material cap shortage detection sensor B207 on the outlet of the bottle cap track 204 detects that there are no bottle caps 3, the vibrator B (pulse electromagnet) of the vibration disk 201 is started, and the bottle caps 3 rise along the spiral track due to this vibration. The bottle caps 3 are screened by a series of tracks (a cap baffle 211 for preventing the caps from standing upright and an oblique circular piece 212 for screening the direction of the bottle caps 3) during their ascent, and then the heating fan 205 heats the bottle caps 3, which become soft after being heated. Then, under the squeezing and rolling of the rollers 2062 of the two shaping mechanisms 206, the distorted bottle caps 3 are repaired and cooled and shaped by the cooling fan 208, so that the bottle caps 3 are automatically arranged in an orderly and directional manner, and the distorted bottle caps are repaired into bottle caps that meet the production standards. According to the requirements of assembly or processing, they automatically enter the assembly or processing position in a unified state, and provide high-quality bottle caps for the loading machine.
