Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medicine bottle grouping equipment, in particular to a medicine bottle queuing detection grouping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the production of pharmaceutical products, many are packaged in medicine bottles. The medicines in the medicine bottles are finally packaged in groups. Therefore, the grouping and packaging of medicine bottles is a very important production link. Existing grouping schemes, such as a medicine bottle unloading device for a pharmaceutical production line disclosed in a patent document with publication number CN107187846A, group the medicine bottles by clamping them with a fixed plate and a partition. In actual use, this scheme is not convenient because the premise of using this scheme is that the medicine bottles have been distributed in groups between the fixed plate and the partition. Before that, they need to be grouped according to a specific number. In fact, the grouping is not completed, and they are just regularized. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a medicine bottle queuing detection and grouping mechanism, which first queues the messy medicine bottles through a conveyor belt and then groups them using a limit fork. The whole process is very smooth, the grouping efficiency is high, and the production process is more stable.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is: a medicine bottle queuing detection grouping mechanism, comprising a queuing unit and a grouping unit arranged in sequence on the production line;

[0005] The queuing unit is used to arrange the medicine bottles into a linear queue; the grouping unit is used to group the medicine bottle queue.

[0006] By queuing the vials first and then grouping them according to the queue, they can be grouped more efficiently and logically for pre-dissolution.

[0007] Preferably, the queuing unit comprises a conveyor belt, a medicine storage pool and a conveying channel;

[0008] The medicine storage pool and the conveying channel are arranged above the conveyor belt, and a guide piece is obliquely arranged on the downstream side wall of the medicine storage pool, and the downstream end of the guide piece is connected to the conveying channel, and the width of the conveying channel allows only one medicine bottle to pass through.

[0009] By setting up a medicine storage pool, it can be used to temporarily store medicine bottles, and the medicine bottles that need to be queued and grouped can be placed here, so that the medicine bottles can be queued and grouped in an orderly manner later, which can improve production efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, the queuing unit includes a placement platform, the discharge port of the placement platform is connected to the medicine storage pool, and the placement platform is provided with a push plate driven by a bottle pushing linear module, and the bottle pushing linear module drives the push plate to sweep toward the discharge port. The bottle pushing linear module can drive the push plate to sweep on the placement platform, pushing the medicine bottle toward the discharge port, so that the medicine bottle can enter the queue along the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the side walls of the placement platform are provided with strip-shaped sliding holes, and the two ends of the push plate extend from the strip-shaped sliding holes to at least the outside of the placement platform, and the bottle pushing linear module is located below the placement platform. The output end of the bottle pushing linear module is provided with a synchronization rod, and the two ends of the synchronization rod are respectively fixed to the two ends of the push plate. The synchronization rod is arranged below the placement platform to avoid excessive structures above, so as to place the medicine bottle and reduce interference during the placement of the medicine bottle.

[0012] Preferably, the grouping unit is located at the downstream end of the conveying channel, and the grouping unit includes a medicine receiving table, a limiting fork and a blocking member;

[0013] The medicine receiving table is located on one side of the conveying channel, and the limit fork is slidably arranged above the medicine receiving table. The limit fork is provided with a fork opening on a side edge close to the conveying channel, and the width of the fork opening only allows one medicine bottle to be placed therein. The limit fork slides from the medicine receiving table, and the fork opening passes through the downstream port of the conveying channel in sequence. The sealing member is arranged above the medicine receiving table relative to the limit fork, and one side edge of the sealing member blocks the port of the fork opening.

[0014] The medicine bottles form a queue in the conveying channel, and the fork of the limit fork is set corresponding to the downstream port of the conveying channel. Therefore, when the limit fork slides, the fork will be aligned with the downstream port of the conveying channel in turn. During the alignment process, the medicine bottles forming the queue will be pushed into the fork by the conveyor belt, and the limit fork continues to move. When other forks are aligned with the downstream port of the conveying channel, the medicine bottles will also be pushed into the fork, thereby achieving the goal of pushing medicine bottles into all fork. When the limit fork with the medicine bottle in the fork is retracted, the sealing member will block the fork, thereby limiting the medicine bottle in the fork, and the medicine bottles in the fork are regarded as a group and are further operated later.

[0015] Preferably, the sealing member comprises an upper baffle and a lower baffle, the upper baffle and the lower baffle are fixed to each other, and a gap is left between the upper baffle and the lower baffle for the fork to pass through. The upper baffle and the lower baffle restrict the position-limiting fork between them, so that the medicine bottle can be limited more stably.

[0016] Preferably, the sealing member is slidably arranged relative to the medicine receiving platform, and the sealing member is arranged on the moving part of the spacing linear module, and the spacing linear module drives the sealing member to change the spacing with the limiting fork. By adjusting the spacing between the sealing member and the fork, it can adapt to medicine bottles with different circular diameters.

[0017] Preferably, a detection unit is provided in the conveying channel, and the detection unit includes a first positioning component, a visual recognition component, a second positioning component, a product specification measurement component and a grabbing component.

[0018] The first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are distributed front and back in the conveying channel;

[0019] The first blocking component is used to stop the medicine bottle in the conveying channel.

[0020] The second blocking component is used to stop the medicine bottle in the conveying channel again.

[0021] The visual recognition component is used to visually recognize whether the appearance of the medicine bottle meets the specifications.

[0022] The specification measuring component is used to measure whether the specification of the medicine bottle is sufficient;

[0023] The grabbing component is used to grab and remove the medicines that do not meet the requirements identified by the visual recognition component and the product specification measurement component.

[0024] The appearance and specifications of medicine bottles can be inspected while they are queued, making inspection more convenient.

[0025] Preferably, sensors for monitoring medicine bottles are respectively arranged on the side walls of the conveying passage on the upstream side of the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly, so as to remind the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly to block the medicine bottle, and control the visual recognition assembly and the product specification measurement assembly to start detection.

[0026] Preferably, sensors for monitoring medicine bottles are respectively arranged on the side walls of the conveying channel at the downstream port of the conveying channel, so as to control the movement of the limit fork so as to align the fork opening with the downstream port of the conveying channel.
