[0041] Glass bottles are widely used packaging containers in medical packaging. The text information on their surface (such as ampoule bottles, the text information on their surface includes the name of the drug, capacity, production date, batch number, etc.) is related to the life safety of the user. The printing of this information requires a glass bottle printing production line to complete.
[0042] In the related art, the glass bottle printing production line adopts the method of printing first and then putting into the tray. After the finished glass bottles are put into the box tray, the direction of the font on the bottle is uncertain, and it is necessary to manually adjust the direction for inspection at the product outlet, which makes it inconvenient to inspect the printing effect at the back end.
[0043] To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a glass bottle printing production line 100 , which may include: a feeding mechanism 110 , a conveying track 120 , a printing mechanism 130 and a bottle pressing mechanism 140 .
[0044] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 110 includes a conveying inlet and a conveying outlet, and a screw and a conveying disc are provided between the conveying inlet and the conveying outlet. The glass bottles on the feeding mechanism 110 enter from the conveying inlet, pass through the screw and the conveying disc in sequence, and are conveyed to the conveying outlet, wherein the glass bottles can be ampoules.
[0045] The conveying track 120 includes a starting end 121 and a terminal end 122. The starting end 121 is located downstream of the conveying outlet. The glass bottles conveyed from the conveying outlet fall onto the box tray of the conveying track 120. The conveying track 120 can be formed as a conveyor belt, wherein, after the glass bottles are conveyed to the box tray through the layout of the feeding mechanism 110, the glass bottles cooperate with the glass bottle placement positions on the box tray to achieve preliminary positioning of the glass bottles. After the glass bottles are placed in the box tray, the glass bottles cannot rotate.
[0046] The printing mechanism 130 is arranged on the conveying track 120 and is located between the starting end 121 and the terminal end 122. It should be noted that after the glass bottle is placed in the box tray, as the conveying track 120 moves to the printing range of the printing mechanism 130, the printing mechanism 130 prints the upward surface of the glass bottle, and then the box tray containing the glass bottle moves to the terminal end 122, the printing process ends, and the finished box tray containing the glass bottle is obtained.
[0047] The bottle pressing mechanism 140 is disposed on the conveying track 120 and located between the starting end 121 and the printing mechanism 130 . The bottle pressing mechanism 140 includes a bottle pressing part, which is located above the conveying track 120 and forms a bottle pressing gap with the conveying track 120 .
[0048] It should be noted that when the glass bottles are transported by the tray-in mechanism to the tray on the conveying track 120, the fit between the glass bottles and the tray may not be tight enough, so the height of the glass bottles on the conveying track 120 will be higher than the standard height. When the tray containing the glass bottles moves to the bottle pressing mechanism 140, the bottle pressing part squeezes the glass bottles that are not tightly fitted with the tray to ensure that the glass bottles in the tray are tightly fitted with the tray, thereby ensuring that the glass bottles will not rotate on the tray. The bottle pressing gap can be the same as the standard height.
[0049] In this way, the glass bottle printing production line 100 provided in the present application places the unprinted glass bottles into the box tray, and the glass bottles in the box tray will no longer move relative to the box tray after being placed in the tray. Then, the glass bottles in the box tray are printed, and the information on the glass bottles after printing is facing upwards, thereby reducing the workload of the back-end to detect the printing effect of the glass bottles.
[0050] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottle pressing part is formed as a bottle pressing roller 141, the central axis of the bottle pressing roller 141 is parallel to the plane where the conveying track 120 is located, and is perpendicular in the direction from the starting end 121 to the terminal end 122, and the bottle pressing roller 141 is driven to rotate by a motor.
[0051] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 2 The bottle pressing part is also provided with a buffer ring 142, which is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the bottle pressing roller 141. Thus, by sleeved with the buffer ring 142 on the bottle pressing part, a hard collision between the glass bottle and the bottle pressing part can be avoided, and the damage of the glass bottle can be avoided.
[0052] There may be multiple buffer rings 142 .
[0053] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 2The bottle pressing mechanism 140 may further include: a lifting device 143, which is connected to the bottle pressing part and is used to lift and lower the bottle pressing part. Then, the size of the bottle pressing gap is adjusted, so that the glass bottle printing production line 100 provided by the present application can meet the printing operation of glass bottles of different specifications.
[0054] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The glass bottle printing production line 100 may further include a height detector 150 and a first rejecting mechanism 160. The first rejecting mechanism 160 is disposed on the conveying track 120. The first rejecting mechanism 160 is located between the bottle pressing mechanism 140 and the printing mechanism 130. The height detector 150 is located between the bottle pressing mechanism 140 and the first rejecting mechanism 160. The height detector 150 and the first rejecting mechanism 160 are communicatively connected with each other.
[0055] It should be noted that, when the box tray containing glass bottles moves on the conveying track 120, there is a risk of relative movement between the glass bottles and the box tray, resulting in a loose fit between the glass bottles and the box tray. By setting up a height detection mechanism, the box tray containing glass bottles that exceeds the standard height can be detected, and the box tray can be rejected by the first rejection mechanism 160, thereby ensuring that the box tray containing glass bottles that reaches the printing mechanism 130 for printing can meet the standards, that is, the glass bottles in the box tray fit tightly with the box tray and will not move relative to each other, thereby ensuring the normal printing work and improving the product yield.
[0056] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The first rejection mechanism 160 includes a rejection track 161 and a push plate 162. The extension direction of the rejection track 161 intersects with the extension direction of the transmission track 120. The push plate 162 is arranged on the rejection track 161. The rejection track 161 and the transmission track 120 are both formed as conveyor belts. When the height detector 150 detects that the height of the box tray containing the glass bottles does not meet the requirements, the rejection track 161 is started, and the push plate 162 pushes the box tray that does not meet the requirements down the transmission track.
[0057] For details, please continue to refer to Figure 3 The extension direction of the rejection track 161 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the conveying track 120. The rejection track 161 is driven by a motor, and the push plate 162 can move in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the conveying track 120, thereby achieving the function of rejecting the box tray containing glass bottles that does not meet the standards.
[0058] There may be a plurality of push plates 162 , and the box trays are allowed to pass between adjacent push plates 162 .
[0059] The height detector 150 may be a laser altimeter.
[0060] In some other embodiments of the present application, the first rejection device may also be a robot.
[0061] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The glass bottle printing production line 100 may further include a first camera mechanism 170, which is disposed on the conveying track 120 and between the bottle pressing mechanism 140 and the printing mechanism 130. The first camera mechanism 170 is in communication connection with the printing mechanism 130, so that the position of the glass bottle in the box tray can be identified by setting the first camera mechanism 170, and then the printing position of the printing mechanism 130 can be determined, so as to further ensure the printing effect of the glass bottle on the entire production line.
[0062] Specifically, the first camera mechanism 170 is located between the first rejecting mechanism 160 and the printing mechanism 130 .
[0063] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The glass bottle printing production line 100 may further include an ultraviolet curing device 180, which is disposed on the conveying track 120 and is located between the printing mechanism 130 and the terminal 122. Thus, after the information is printed on the glass bottle by the printing mechanism 130, the ultraviolet curing device 180 may be provided to cure the information printed on the glass bottle, thereby improving the printing quality.
[0064] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The glass bottle printing production line 100 may further include a second camera mechanism 190, which is disposed on the conveying track 120 and between the printing mechanism 130 and the terminal 122. Thus, after the printing mechanism 130 prints information onto the glass bottle, the second camera mechanism 190 may be arranged to detect whether the printing of the glass bottle in the tray is complete, and the tray with incomplete printing may be discarded.
[0065] Specifically, the second camera mechanism 190 may be disposed between the ultraviolet curing device 180 and the terminal 122 , or may be disposed between the printing mechanism 130 and the ultraviolet curing device 180 .
[0066] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1The glass bottle printing production line 100 may further include a second rejection mechanism 200, which is disposed on the conveying track 120 and located between the second camera mechanism 190 and the terminal 122. The second rejection mechanism 200 is in communication connection with the second camera mechanism 190. Thus, when the second camera mechanism 190 detects that the information printed on the glass bottle is incomplete or does not meet the requirements, the second rejection mechanism 200 is set to push the unqualified box tray off the conveying track 120, thereby further ensuring the finished product yield of the box tray containing the glass bottle arriving at the terminal 122.
[0067] It can be understood that the second rejecting mechanism 200 and the first rejecting mechanism 160 can be configured to have the same structure.
[0068] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, so that those skilled in the art can understand or implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments described herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
