[0002] In the process of filling medicine bottles, the upstream medicine bottles (such as ampoules) are transported from the conveying station to the downstream station. When there are too many medicine bottles on the conveyor belt of the conveying station, they will be stranded, resulting in blockage of the conveying channel. In order to avoid the congestion and accumulation of medicine bottles, a buffer temporary storage mechanism is generally set at the conveying station. In the temporary storage area of ​​the existing conveying buffer mechanism, the medicine bottles are first in and last out, and there is a problem that the first-in medicine bottles are stranded for a long time. In addition, the existing buffer mechanism cannot adjust the size of the temporary storage area in real time according to the flow of medicine bottles. When the flow of medicine bottles is small, the problem of bottle falling will occur, which is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0021] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the flow direction of the medicine bottle of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of use of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the utility model proposes a novel medicine bottle buffer conveying device, including a buffer conveyor 1, a loading conveyor belt 2 and a unloading conveyor belt 3. In the conveying trough of the buffer conveyor 1, a first conveyor belt 11 and a second conveyor belt 12 with opposite feeding directions are arranged side by side along its length direction. The feeding head end on the right side of the first conveyor belt 11 is the feeding end of the buffer conveyor 1. The loading conveyor belt 2 is arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 11 and is arranged on the side thereof. The loading conveyor belt 2 is connected to the feeding end of the buffer conveyor 1. The feeding end on the right side of the second conveyor belt 12 is the unloading end of the buffer conveyor 1, and the unloading end is connected to the unloading conveyor belt 3. The medicine bottles on the loading conveyor belt 2 are transported to the unloading conveyor belt 3 via the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 in a U-shaped route. Compared with the existing buffer mechanism, the device can make the medicine bottles first-in-first-out, effectively avoiding the problems of medicine bottle retention.

[0024] A moving assembly with a power drive is provided on the left side of the buffer conveyor 1 away from the feeding end and the unloading end along its length direction. A guide block 5 is provided horizontally and movably above the two conveyor belts. The guide block 5 is fixed on the moving assembly. An arc-shaped guide groove 50 is provided on the guide block 5 near the telescopic baffle. The circular arc-shaped guide groove 50 on the guide block 5 can be used to smoothly convey the medicine bottles on the first conveyor belt 11 to the second conveyor belt 12. And according to the flow rate of the medicine bottles, the guide block 5 is driven to slide left and right by the moving assembly, and the size of the feeding area on the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 on the right side of the guide block 5 can be effectively adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the buffer area of ​​the buffer conveyor 1 to avoid problems such as blockage when the flow rate is large or bottle fall when the flow rate is small.

[0025] A spring is installed in the guide groove 50, one end of which is fixed and the other end is movable, and a proximity switch cooperating with the spring is also installed on the guide groove 50 inside the spring. When the flow of medicine bottles on the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 is too large, the spring will be squeezed and approach the proximity switch. At this time, the moving assembly moves to the left, thereby driving the guide block 5 to slide to the left, thereby effectively increasing the amount of material stored on the two conveyor belts and avoiding the problem of material blocking.

[0026] In addition, a second spring piece 62 is also installed at the end of the guide block 5 on the side of the second conveyor belt 12. One end of the second spring piece 62 is fixed on the guide block 5, and the other end is movably arranged and tilted toward the middle of the two conveyor belts. A second proximity switch 72 matching with the second spring piece 62 is installed on the gantry 41 inside the second spring piece 62. When the flow rate of the medicine bottle decreases, the second spring piece 62 moves away from the second proximity switch 72. At this time, the moving component drives the guide block 5 to move to the right, reducing the amount of stock on the two conveyor belts to avoid problems such as bottle inversion. Therefore, the device can adjust the size of the buffer area in real time according to the flow rate of the medicine bottle, making it more convenient to use.

[0027] A telescopic baffle is provided between the two conveyor belts, and the telescopic baffle includes a telescopic portion 82 and a fixed sleeve portion 81. The fixed sleeve portion 81 is fixed between the two conveyor belts near the feeding end and the unloading end. One end of the telescopic portion 82 is horizontally slidably sleeved in the fixed sleeve portion 81, and the other end is fixed on the gantry 41 of the moving component. A material passing gap is provided between the guide block 5 and the telescopic portion 82. Through the cooperation of the telescopic portion 82 and the fixed sleeve portion 81, the length of the telescopic baffle can be adjusted in real time with the movement of the gantry 41 and the guide block 5, so that the telescopic baffle can effectively block the medicines on the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12, so that the medicine bottles can be conveyed on the two conveyor belts through the material passing gap.

[0028] The moving assembly includes a gantry 41, a slide rail 42 and a driving assembly. The slide rail 42 is installed on both sides of the buffer conveyor 1 along the length direction. The end of the gantry 41 that is movably arranged above the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 is slidably installed on the slide rail 42. The guide block 5 and the telescopic part 82 of the telescopic baffle are fixedly connected to the gantry 41. Through the cooperation between the gantry 41 and the slide rail 42, the moving stability of the gantry 41 can be effectively improved, thereby driving the smooth movement of the guide block 5 and the telescopic part 82. The driving assembly is connected to the gantry 41, and the driving assembly includes a chain 431, a motor 433 and two sprocket wheels 432. The chain 431 is horizontally installed between the two sprocket wheels 432 on the buffer conveyor 1. The motor 433 is coaxially fixedly connected to one of the sprocket wheels 432, and the gantry 41 is fixedly connected to the chain 431. The motor 433 drives the chain 431 to rotate through the sprocket wheel 432, so as to drive the gantry 41 to move smoothly left and right.

[0029] When the utility model is used, the medicine bottle enters the first conveyor belt 11 from the loading conveyor belt 2, enters the unloading conveyor belt 3 through the second conveyor belt 12 after being limited and guided by the telescopic baffle and the guide block 5, and is then sent out from the unloading conveyor belt 3 to the next process.

[0030] When the flow rate of the ampoule bottle is too large, the first spring piece 61 approaches the first proximity switch 71, and the motor 433 is activated, driving the guide block 5 and the telescopic baffle to move to the left through the gantry 41, thereby increasing the buffering capacity. When the flow rate of the ampoule bottle decreases, the second spring piece 62 moves away from the second proximity switch 72, and the motor 433 is reversed, driving the guide block 5 and the telescopic baffle to move to the right through the gantry 41, thereby reducing the buffering capacity on the two conveyor belts, thereby preventing the bottle from falling.

[0031] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the present application are given in the accompanying drawings, but they do not limit the patent scope of the present application. The present application can be implemented in many different forms.
