[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical device processing, and in particular to a sorting and conveying device. Background Art
[0002] Clinically, patients with eating disorders or critically ill patients who cannot swallow independently and must rely on power to deliver food, and patients who cannot take care of themselves are often fed with feeding bags to ensure their physiological functions. Existing medical feeding bags mainly include a hanging ring, a bag body and a catheter. The upper end of the bag body is connected to the hanging ring, and a feeding port (circular tube body) is provided. One end of the catheter is connected to the bag body, and the other end is connected to a connector that matches a gastric tube or a nasogastric tube. The hanging ring is hung at a high place on an infusion stand, and the liquid food in the bag body flows through the catheter under the action of gravity or a pump, and is used in conjunction with a gastric tube or a nasogastric tube to feed the patient.
[0003] At present, in the common feeding bag production method, each workstation needs to be operated by an operator. Since the workbenches are arranged independently, they occupy a large area. If this separate assembly line processing method is always used for production, it will require more labor and production costs, and the production efficiency will be low.
[0004] In the prior art, the automated integrated workshop related to feeding bags only integrates various workstations together. Since the feeding bag body is made of flexible material, it is impossible to ensure that the finished product is assembled and sealed in place every time. The finished products need to be inspected separately to remove defective products.
[0005] Therefore, a conveying device is needed that can integrate the workstations required for feeding bag sealing and perform automatic sorting at the end to improve production efficiency. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, this solution provides a sorting and conveying device that can realize automatic sorting of feeding bags in an integrated production line.

[0012] Further, the bracket includes a first bracket and a second bracket, a second sensor is arranged on a side of the second bracket facing the feed, and the top slide rail includes a first slide rail and a second slide rail arranged vertically to each other;
[0013] The material taking structure comprises a first material taking structure and a second material taking structure.
[0014] Furthermore, the first power source is limited on the second bracket to act on the first sorting mechanism, an observation platform is arranged under the second bracket, and the first slides on both sides of the bottom of the first sorting mechanism are slidably connected to the first slide rail; the first connecting member on the first slide fixes the first limiting plate of the second power source, and the bottom of the second power source is connected to the first material picking structure.
[0015] Furthermore, the second bracket also limits the third power source of the second sorting mechanism, the second slides on both sides of the bottom of the second sorting mechanism are slidably connected to the second slide rails, the second connecting piece on the second slide fixedly limits the second limiting plate of the fourth power source, and the bottom of the fourth power source is connected to the second material picking structure.
[0016] Furthermore, the first material picking structure and the second material picking structure are suction cup manipulators.

[0034] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0035] Embodiment 1:
[0036] A sorting and conveying device, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a conveying unit 200 and a sorting unit 300 on a bracket 100;
[0037] like Figure 1As shown, in the conveying unit 200 , the fixed structures 220 are evenly distributed on the conveying structure 210 and are limited at two ends of the conveying platform 400 .
[0038] In the prior art, a conveyor belt is usually used to directly transport the feeding bags on the integrated production line. During use, because both the conveyor belt and the feeding bags are flexible structures, it is easy for the two ends of the feeding bags to be limited incorrectly, making it difficult for subsequent workstations to perform accurate processing. At the same time, if the conveyor belt is damaged, it needs to be dismantled and replaced as a whole, and the maintenance cost is relatively high.
[0039] The conveying structure 210 provided in this solution is limited at both ends of the conveying platform 400. The conveying platform 400 is a rigid structure, which can support the feeding bag during the pressing process and can be limited more easily by the fixed structure 220. At the same time, if one side of the conveying structure 210 fails, it only needs to be replaced separately, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost and maintenance time.
[0040] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the conveying structure 210, the first bracket 110 supports the conveying belt 211, and both ends include a shell 410 for shielding the driven roller structure 212 and the active roller structure 213, and the conveying belt 211 includes a first conveying belt 2111 and a second conveying belt 2112;
[0041] The driven roller structure 212 and the active roller structure 213 are wrapped in the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2112 and are respectively limited on both sides of the conveying platform 400 by connecting rods. The active roller structure 213 is connected to the motor, and the motor is electrically connected to the first sensor 240.
[0042] The first sensor 240 is arranged on the first bracket 110. In the present embodiment, the first sensor 240 mainly detects the state of the conveyor belt 211. Specifically, when the motor is started, the active roller structure 213 links the driven roller structure 212 to drive the conveyor belt 211 to move. When a fault occurs, for example, during use, the cover or the tube body is stuck in the work station, and the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2112 cannot move under the drive of the active roller structure 213, the first sensor 240 will send a signal and stop the motor when it detects it.
[0043] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the first limiting seats 221 are evenly distributed on the first conveyor belt 2111, and the first limiting seats 221 include an arc-shaped opening 2211 for placing the feeding bag joint end and a limiting baffle 2212 of the limiting cover body; the second limiting seats 222 are evenly distributed on the second conveyor belt 2112, and the second limiting seats 222 include a limiting slot 2221 of the limiting tube body.
[0044] The distance between the limit seats on each side is adjusted according to the actual working station distance during use, and the first limit seat 221 and the second limit seat 222 are opposite to each other, and the distance between them can meet the processing requirements of the feeding bag. In this embodiment, the first limit seat 221 and the second limit seat 222 are provided with fixing holes, which are fixed to the fixing seat of the bottom conveyor belt 211 by screws.
[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sorting unit 300 is fixed on the top of the second bracket 120, and the second sensor 310 is electrically connected to the first sorting mechanism 320 and the second sorting mechanism 330.
[0046] In the prior art, the automated integrated workshop related to feeding bags only integrates various workstations together. Since the feeding bag body is made of flexible material, it is impossible to ensure that the finished product is assembled and sealed in place every time. The finished products need to be inspected separately to remove defective products.
[0047] The sorting unit 300 provided in this solution can determine whether the processing of the previous process is assembled in place through measurement, and automatically remove defective products.
[0048] The second sensor 310 is disposed on the side of the second bracket 120 facing the feed material, and the top slide rail 130 includes a first slide rail 131 and a second slide rail 132 which are vertically disposed to each other.
[0049] The second bracket 120 has a first fixed frame on the side to limit the first power source 321, and an observation platform 140 is arranged below. The first slides 322 on both sides of the bottom of the first sorting mechanism 320 are slidably connected to the first slide rail 131, and the first connecting member 323 on the first slide 322 is fixed to the first limiting plate 324 with a first through hole. The second power source 325 passes through and is limited in the first through hole, and the bottom is connected to the first material taking structure 326.
[0050] A fixed frame is provided at the rear end of the second bracket 120 to limit the third power source 331. Second slide plates 332 on both sides of the bottom of the second sorting mechanism 330 are slidably connected to the second slide rails 132. The second connecting member 333 on the second slide plate 332 is fixed to a second limiting plate 334 with a second through hole. The fourth power source 335 passes through and is limited in the second through hole, and is connected to the second material taking structure 336 at the bottom.
[0051] In the structural setting of this solution, through the monitoring of the second sensor 310, the power source receives a signal to drive the first sorting mechanism 320 and the second sorting mechanism 330 to move forward and backward and up and down along the slide rail 130.
[0052] Specifically, after the feeding bag is processed at each station, it is transmitted to the sorting unit 300, and the second sensor 310 identifies the feeding bag, for example, whether the cover is pushed in place, whether the Robert clip is installed on the tube body, etc. If there is a problem in the identification, a signal is sent through the second sensor 310, and when the feeding bag reaches below the first material-retrieving structure 326, the second power source 325 is started to drive the first material-retrieving structure 326 downward until it touches the feeding bag, and the feeding bag is driven to move upward together when resetting. After the second power source 325 is reset, the first power source 321 is started to push the first sorting mechanism 320 to slide toward the observation platform 140, and stops when it moves above the observation platform 140, and the feeding bag falls on the observation platform 140;
[0053] If it is determined to be a qualified product after identification, when the feeding bag reaches below the second material-retrieving structure 336, the fourth power source 335 is started to drive the second material-retrieving structure 336 downward until it touches the feeding bag, and the feeding bag is driven to move upward when resetting. After the fourth power source 335 is reset, the third power source 331 is started to push the second sorting mechanism 330 to slide toward the discharge end, and the feeding bag falls when it moves above the discharge end.
[0054] In this embodiment, the second sensor 310 is a visual detection sensor, which can be purchased directly from Keyence (China) Co., Ltd., and the model is IV2 series equipped with AI image recognition sensor; the first power source 321, the second power source 325, the third power source 331 and the fourth power source 335 are cylinders, which can be purchased directly from AirTac (China) Co., Ltd., and the model is CG1 light cylinder; the first material picking structure 326 and the second material picking structure 336 are suction cup manipulators, which can be purchased directly from Shanghai Hande Automation Technology Co., Ltd. As technical common sense known to those skilled in the art, no further elaboration is given here.
[0055] Further explained in combination with its use mechanism, when the motor is started, the active roller structure 213 links with the driven roller structure 212 to drive the conveyor belt 211 to move. When a fault occurs, for example, during use, the cover body or the tube body is stuck in the work station, and the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2112 cannot move under the drive of the active roller structure 213, the first sensor 240 next to the motor will detect it and send a signal to stop the motor;
[0056] After the feeding bag has been processed at each station, it is transmitted to the sorting unit 300. The second sensor 310 identifies the feeding bag. If there is a problem with the identification, a signal is sent through the second sensor 310. When the feeding bag reaches below the first material-retrieving structure 326, the second power source 325 is started to drive the first material-retrieving structure 326 downward until it touches the feeding bag, and the feeding bag is driven to move upward together when resetting. After the second power source 325 is reset, the first power source 321 is started to push the first sorting mechanism 320 to slide toward the observation platform 140, and stops when it moves above the observation platform 140, and the feeding bag falls on the observation platform 140;
[0057] If it is determined to be a qualified product after identification, when the feeding bag reaches below the second material-retrieving structure 336, the fourth power source 335 is started to drive the second material-retrieving structure 336 downward until it touches the feeding bag, and the feeding bag is driven to move upward when resetting. After the fourth power source 335 is reset, the third power source 331 is started to push the second sorting mechanism 330 to slide toward the discharge end, and the feeding bag falls when it moves above the discharge end.
[0058] In summary, the conveying structure 210 provided in the present application is limited at both ends of the conveying platform 400. The conveying platform 400 is a rigid structure, which can support the feeding bag during the pressing process and can be more easily limited by the fixed structure 220. At the same time, if one side of the conveying structure 210 fails, it only needs to be replaced separately, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost and maintenance time.
[0059] The sorting unit 300 provided in the present application can determine whether the processing of the previous process is assembled in place through measurement, and automatically remove defective products, thereby reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.
