[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0031] Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, a feeding device for an aluminum hall of a sterile powder filling machine is provided, which is a part of the filling equipment, and mainly includes a table 10, a lifting platform 20, a turning mechanism 30 and a powder feeding bin 40.

The lifting platform 20 is located at the left side of the lower end of the flip mechanism 30, and the powder feeding bin 40 is located at the right side of the upper end of the flip mechanism 30, so as to form a flipping path on the left and right sides of the top of the flip mechanism 30 that can connect the aluminum barrel 50 and the powder feeding bin 40.

[0034] The aluminum barrel 50 to be loaded is placed on the lifting platform 20, and the turning and loading of the aluminum barrel 50 is controlled by the turning mechanism 30, as follows. A turnable butterfly valve 37 is provided at the upper end of the turning mechanism 30, and the butterfly valve 37 plays a role in controlling the opening and closing of the barrel mouth of the aluminum barrel 50 to realize the discharge action.

[0035] During use, the aluminum barrel 50 is manually placed on the lifting platform 20, the lifting platform 20 rises to a preset height, the butterfly valve 37 is manually connected to the barrel mouth of the aluminum barrel 50 by snapping, the lifting platform 20 is controlled to descend to its position, and then the flipping mechanism 30 drives the butterfly valve 37 to flip, the aluminum barrel 50 flips 180° together with the butterfly valve 37 and then docks and presses with the quick interface 41 on the top of the powder feeding silo 40 to complete the loading operation, thereby conveniently and quickly completing the process of flipping and loading the aluminum barrel in a sterile environment.

[0036] During the above-mentioned flip loading operation, the operator only needs to manually lock the barrel mouth of the aluminum barrel 50 and the butterfly valve 37, and the rest is completed by the motor drive, which is time-saving, labor-saving, quick and convenient. Since the medicine-filled aluminum barrel 50 weighs 12 kg, the use of this loading device can effectively avoid the potential safety hazards of the original manual loading and improve safety. In addition, the entire operation process of the loading device is operated in a Class A environment through rubber gloves, so there is no need to open the window, which improves the reliability of aseptic operation.

[0037] In some of the embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the lifting platform 20 includes a lifting cylinder 21 and a placement platform 22. The lifting cylinder 21 is vertically mounted on the table 10 using a mounting base and is locked and fixed using bolts. In order to meet the requirement for stable placement of the aluminum barrel 50, a placement platform 22 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 21. The placement platform 22 is arranged horizontally to ensure the stability of the placement of the aluminum barrel 50. The lifting cylinder 21 uses a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric lifting column can also be used as needed.

[0038] In addition, as needed, a groove can be opened on the placement table 22 for limiting the installation of the aluminum barrel 50 to prevent the aluminum barrel 50 from shaking during the up and down lifting process, so as to further ensure the stability of the aluminum barrel 50 during the lifting and buckling process with the butterfly valve 37.

[0039] In some of the embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the flipping mechanism 30 is used as a driving mechanism for driving the aluminum barrel 50 to flip back and forth, and it mainly includes a protective frame 31, a transmission chain 32, a flip shaft 33, a flip arm plate 34 and a butterfly valve 37 assembled as one body, and the transmission chain 32, the flip shaft 33, the flip arm plate 34 and the butterfly valve 37 constitute a linkage mechanism.

[0040] The protection frame 31 is a square hollow shell structure as a protective shell of the flip mechanism 30, and its lower end is directly mounted on the table 10 by a mounting seat and is fixed by bolts. The transmission chain 32 is installed in the protection frame 31, and the transmission chain 32 is arranged vertically to transmit the power of the flip motor 39 at the lower end to the flip shaft 33 at the upper end.

The powder received by the quick-connection 41 is transported to the sub-packaging barrel 43 through the feeding screw 42 for the next process.

[0049] In some embodiments, in order to realize the automatic control of the device, the aluminum hall feeding device further includes a PLC control box, and the PLC control box is electrically connected to the lifting platform 20 and the turning mechanism 30. The PLC control box is installed with a preset program to automatically control the operation of the lifting platform 20 and the turning mechanism 30, so as to realize automatic turning and feeding.

[0050] Combination Figure 1As shown, the working principle of the aluminum hall feeding device of the sterile powder filling machine is as follows: after the sterile transfer trolley transfers the aluminum barrel 50 to the inside of the filling equipment, the aluminum barrel 50 is manually pushed onto the lifting platform 20, and the lifting platform 20 is started by manually pressing the operation button or stepping on the pedal, and the lifting platform 20 automatically transports the aluminum barrel 50 from a low position to a high position; at this time, the barrel mouth of the aluminum barrel 50 is just docked with the butterfly valve 37 and then stops rising, and then the butterfly valve 37 and the barrel mouth of the aluminum barrel 50 are locked with the clamp 371; at this time, the lifting platform 20 is started and then lowered into place, and then the turning motor 39 is started, and the aluminum barrel 50 is turned 180 degrees and docked and pressed with the quick interface 41 of the powder feeding silo 40 to complete the feeding operation.
