Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicinal ointment aluminum tube processing, in particular to an automatic forming device for medicinal ointment aluminum tubes. Background Art

[0002] The aluminum tube for medicinal ointment is an aluminum hose that is in direct contact with the ointment. Its biggest feature is that the tube body will collapse after being squeezed, and air cannot enter. The tube body will collapse after being squeezed, so that air cannot flow into the inside of the hose. Therefore, it is not easy for the contents to be oxidized or contaminated, and the shelf life of the product can be extended.

[0003] During the processing of aluminum tubes for packaging medicinal ointments, after the tail is cut by the cutting equipment, a stamping equipment is needed to press and form the tail of the aluminum tube. During processing, the existing aluminum tube forming device usually places the aluminum tube horizontally on the operating table, and then uses a pressure head to stamp and form the tail of the aluminum tube from above. Uneven force will occur on the upper and lower end surfaces of the aluminum tube, affecting the quality of the finished product.

[0004] Therefore, an automatic forming device for a medicinal ointment aluminum tube is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides an automatic forming device for aluminum tubes for medicinal ointments, which has the advantages of uniform force on both ends of the aluminum tube when stamping, and solves the problem that when the tail of the aluminum tube is stamped from above by a pressure head, uneven force will occur on the upper and lower end faces of the aluminum tube, affecting the quality of the finished product.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an automatic forming device for a medicinal ointment aluminum tube, comprising a frame, a rotating mechanism, a forming mechanism, and a trimming mechanism arranged on the frame;

[0007] The rotating mechanism comprises a rotating disk rotatably arranged on a frame, and a plurality of supporting cylinders evenly distributed along a circumferential direction are fixed on the rotating disk;

[0008] The forming mechanism comprises a pair of punching plates that can move relative to each other, and the trimming mechanism comprises a cutting knife and a knife seat that can move relative to each other;

[0009] The frame is also provided with two sets of driving mechanisms, which include mounting columns fixed on the frame, a mounting frame fixed to the outer side of the mounting columns, a pair of limiting shafts fixed to the mounting frame, two movable plates are commonly sleeved on the outer sides of the two limiting shafts, a transmission gear is provided on the mounting frame through rotation of a rotating shaft, and transmission racks meshing with the transmission gear are fixed on the two movable plates, a driving cylinder is fixed on one of the movable plates, and the output end of the driving cylinder is fixed to the other movable plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the two stamping plates are respectively fixed to opposite surfaces of two movable plates in the corresponding driving mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the cutting knife and the knife seat are respectively fixed to the opposite surfaces of the two movable plates in the corresponding driving mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, a discharging mechanism is also provided on the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the unloading mechanism includes a material-lifting cylinder fixed in the frame, a position sensor is also fixed on the frame, a positioning column is also fixed in the frame, a sloped material guide trough is fixed on the top of the positioning column, an arc-shaped baffle extending to the top of the sloped material guide trough is fixed on the outer side of the positioning column through a connecting rod, and a belt conveyor is also provided in the frame and at the tail end of the sloped material guide trough.

[0014] Furthermore, a plurality of equally spaced material separators are fixed on the belt of the belt conveyor, and the spacing between adjacent material separators corresponds to the width of the sloped material guide trough.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 In this embodiment, an automatic forming device for an aluminum tube of a medicinal ointment comprises a frame 1, a rotating mechanism 2, a forming mechanism 3, a trimming mechanism 4 and a discharge mechanism 6 arranged on the frame 1. The aluminum tube is rotated to the forming mechanism 3 through the rotating mechanism 2 to extrude the tail end, and then the trimming mechanism 4 cuts off the excess burrs at the tail end, and finally rotates to the discharge mechanism 6 to unload the aluminum tube. The whole process has a high degree of automation and good processing efficiency.

[0026] A plurality of aluminum tubes can be rotated and fed by a rotating mechanism 2, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating disk 201 rotatably arranged on the frame 1, and a plurality of support cylinders 202 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction are fixed on the rotating disk 201, and the support cylinders 202 form a plane inwardly, and the head of the aluminum tube is confined in the support cylinder 202, while the twisted cover part of the head of the aluminum tube passes through the support cylinder 202, and the aluminum tube is firmly supported by the support cylinder 202. A rotating driving source is arranged inside the frame 1, and the output end of the rotating driving source is connected to the rotating disk 201, and the rotating disk 201 can be driven to rotate by the rotating driving source, and the rotating disk 201 can drive the aluminum tube to rotate to various processing mechanisms for processing.

[0027] When the aluminum tube in the support cylinder 202 is rotated to the forming mechanism 3 through the rotating disk 201, the tail end of the aluminum tube can be pressed and formed by the forming mechanism 3, and then rotated to the trimming mechanism 4 to cut the burrs of the tail end. Figure 2-3As shown, the forming mechanism 3 includes a pair of punching plates 301 that can move relative to each other, and the trimming mechanism 4 includes a cutting knife 401 and a knife seat 402 that can move relative to each other.

[0028] As for the relative movement between the two stamping plates 301 and between the cutter 401 and the knife seat 402, two sets of driving mechanisms 5 are also provided on the frame 1, which can respectively drive the forming mechanism 3 and the trimming mechanism 4 to operate separately. The driving mechanism 5 includes a mounting column 501 fixed on the frame 1, and a mounting frame 502 is fixed on the outer side of the mounting column 501. A pair of limiting shafts 503 are fixed on the mounting frame 502. Two movable plates 504 are commonly sleeved on the outer sides of the two limiting shafts 503. A transmission gear 505 is provided on the mounting frame 502 through rotation of a rotating shaft. A transmission rack 506 meshing with the transmission gear 505 is fixed on the two movable plates 504. A driving cylinder 507 is fixed on one of the movable plates 504, and the output end of the driving cylinder 507 is fixed on the other movable plate 504.

[0029] The driving cylinder 507 is extended and retracted, and the corresponding movable plate 504 moves. Under the meshing transmission of the transmission gear 505 and the transmission rack 506, the two movable plates 504 can move relative to each other or move away from each other.

[0030] A pair of punching plates 301 in the forming mechanism 3 are respectively fixed to the opposite surfaces of the two movable plates 504 in the corresponding driving mechanism 5 . The movable plates 504 are clamped together, and the tail end of the aluminum tube can be punched and formed by the punching plates 301 .

[0031] The cutter 401 and the knife holder 402 in the trimming mechanism 4 are respectively fixed to the opposite surfaces of the two movable plates 504 in the corresponding driving mechanism 5. Through the clamping of the movable plates 504, the cutter 401 and the knife holder 402 can be cut together to complete the removal of the burrs at the tail end of the aluminum tube.

[0032] After the tail end of the aluminum tube is formed by stamping and the burrs are cut off, the unloading mechanism 6 can be used to eject the aluminum tube from the support tube 202 and transport it to subsequent processing equipment for processing, such as Figure 4 As shown, the unloading mechanism 6 includes a material-lifting cylinder 601 fixed in the frame 1, a position sensor 602 is also fixed on the frame 1, a positioning column 603 is also fixed in the frame 1, a sloped material guide trough 604 is fixed to the top of the positioning column 603, an arc-shaped baffle 605 extending to the top of the sloped material guide trough 604 is fixed to the outer side of the positioning column 603 through a connecting rod, and a belt conveyor 606 is also provided in the frame 1 and at the tail end of the sloped material guide trough 604.

[0033] When the position sensor 602 senses the position of the aluminum tube, the ejection cylinder 601 ejects and pushes the aluminum tube upward, and the aluminum tube is blocked by the arc baffle 605 and falls into the sloped guide trough 604, and is guided to the belt conveyor 606, and is transported to subsequent equipment for processing by the belt conveyor 606.

[0034] A number of equally spaced partition plates 607 are fixed on the belt of the belt conveyor 606. The spacing between adjacent partition plates 607 corresponds to the width of the sloped guide trough 604. The aluminum tubes sliding down the sloped guide trough 604 directly fall between the corresponding two partition plates 607. The aluminum tubes can be evenly distributed on the belt conveyor 606, which is more convenient for subsequent processing equipment to process.

[0035] By using the above-mentioned automatic forming device for the aluminum tube of medicinal ointment, the tail end of the aluminum tube can be automatically stamped and trimmed. The specific processing method is as follows:

[0036] The aluminum tube is placed in the support cylinder 202 and rotated to the forming mechanism 3 through the rotating disk 201. The two stamping plates 301 move relative to each other to press the tail end of the aluminum tube into shape. Then, the aluminum tube is rotated to the trimming mechanism 4, where the cutter 401 and the knife seat 402 are engaged to complete the trimming of the tail end of the aluminum tube.

[0037] After the aluminum tube is pressed and formed, it is sent to the unloading mechanism 6 through the rotating disk 201. When the position sensor 602 senses the position of the aluminum tube, the ejection cylinder 601 is ejected to push the aluminum tube upward. The aluminum tube is blocked by the arc baffle 605 and falls into the sloped guide trough 604, and is guided to the belt conveyor 606, and is transported to the subsequent equipment for processing through the belt conveyor 606.
