Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field, in particular to a medicine bottle receiving and conveying device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the delivery of medicine bottles is a key link in the production line of the pharmaceutical industry. With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, the requirements for medicine bottle delivery devices are getting higher and higher.

[0003] At present, the common medicine bottle conveying devices on the market mainly include traditional screw conveying devices, ordinary conveyor belt conveying devices and pneumatic conveying devices. However, these devices all have certain limitations. For example, although the traditional screw conveying device has a simple structure, its working principle is to use a rotating screw to push the medicine bottle forward, which can easily cause the bottle to be squeezed, deformed or damaged; although the ordinary conveyor belt conveying device is widely used, it has the problem of insufficient thrust, making it difficult to achieve effective accumulation of medicine bottles, especially at the end of the production line, which can easily cause the bottles to deviate from the conveying track; the pneumatic conveying device uses compressed air to push the medicine bottle. Although it is fast, it has high energy consumption and high operating costs. At the same time, the noise problem is obvious, which is not conducive to the working environment and can easily cause the bottle to tip over or be damaged.

[0004] In summary, the medicine bottle conveying devices in the prior art generally have the problems of low efficiency, poor stability, easy damage to the medicine bottle, and insufficient adaptability. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a medicine bottle receiving and conveying device which can minimize the squeezing force on the bottle body and reduce the risk of damage while ensuring the stable conveyance of the medicine bottles.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the medicine bottle receiving and conveying device designed by the utility model comprises:

[0007] A receiving platform, used to receive the medicine bottles and carry them for transportation;

[0008] Two synchronous belts are respectively arranged on both sides of the material receiving platform, and the belt surfaces of the two synchronous belts and the table surface of the material receiving platform together form a conveying channel;

[0009] An adjusting mechanism connected to the two synchronous belts, used to adjust the distance between the two synchronous belts and the material receiving platform, and the adjusting mechanism can adjust the two synchronous belts independently or synchronously;

[0010] Wherein, the two synchronous belts are configured to move synchronously under the drive of the first driving mechanism to transport the medicine bottle along the conveying channel.

[0011] In order to achieve simple and reliable width adjustment, the adjustment mechanism includes:

[0012] frame;

[0013] Two bases are slidably mounted on the frame, and two synchronous belts are respectively mounted on one base;

[0014] A second driving mechanism, mounted on the frame, for driving the two bases to slide relative to the frame;

[0015] Wherein, the second driving mechanism can drive the two bases independently or synchronously to adjust the width of the conveying channel.

[0016] A further solution is that the second driving mechanism includes two screw nuts arranged on the frame and adjusting screws respectively threadedly matched with the two screw nuts, and the two adjusting screws are respectively connected to a base.

[0017] In order to achieve accurate and stable adjustment, the first driving mechanism includes two independent driving units, which are respectively mounted on the two bases and are used to independently drive the two synchronous belts to move synchronously.

[0018] For simple and reliable driving, each of the driving units includes a driving motor, a driving pulley and a driven pulley. The driving motor is used to drive the driving pulley to rotate, and the driving pulley cooperates with the driven pulley to drive the corresponding synchronous belt to move.

[0019] In order to improve the smoothness of delivery, it also includes:

[0020] A swing arm, rotatably connected to the frame;

[0021] A spring, arranged on the frame;

[0022] Wherein, the driven pulley is rotatably mounted on the free end of the swing arm, and the spring abuts against the free end of the swing arm to provide a force so that the synchronous belt can squeeze the medicine bottle located in the conveying channel.

[0023] In order to prevent foreign matter from entering and affecting the operation of the device, an isolation cover is provided on each of the bases, and the synchronous belt, driving pulley and driven pulley are all located in the isolation cover. Openings are provided on opposite sides of the two isolation covers to expose the belt surface of the synchronous belt.

[0024] In order to further avoid the problem of medicine bottle conveying jam, the driving pulleys and driven pulleys of the two driving units are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the medicine bottle; or, the driving pulley and driven pulley of one driving unit are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the medicine bottle, and the driven pulley and driving pulley of the other driving unit are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the medicine bottle.

[0025] In order to prevent the swing arm from swinging excessively, a limiting portion is further provided on the frame, and the limiting portion is used to limit the swing angle of the swing arm.

[0026] In order to ensure that the transportation of the medicine bottles has sufficient power, two limit plates are also included. The two limit plates are respectively arranged on the inner sides of the two synchronous belts and are arranged opposite to each other; the limit plates are used to limit the displacement distance of the corresponding synchronous belt in the first direction perpendicular to the transportation direction of the medicine bottles.

[0027] The medicine bottle receiving and conveying device designed by the utility model can easily adapt to medicine bottles of different sizes and quickly switch production batches of different specifications through an adjustable double synchronous belt structure, in conjunction with an independently driven motor and a precise screw adjustment mechanism, thereby significantly improving the versatility and production efficiency of the device. At the same time, the pressure control of the spring pressure ensures stable transportation of the medicine bottles while minimizing the squeezing force on the bottle body and reducing the risk of squeeze, bursting and damage to the bottle body, making it an ideal solution for the receiving link of the pharmaceutical production line.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0038] Example 1.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the medicine bottle receiving and conveying device described in this embodiment can be applied to the end of a pharmaceutical production line to convey filled medicine bottles. The device includes:

[0040] The receiving platform 10 is used to receive the medicine bottles and carry them for transportation; the receiving platform 10 is a flat table surface, usually made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials, and is used to carry and transport medicine bottles.

[0041] Two synchronous belts 20 are respectively arranged on both sides of the material receiving platform 10, and the belt surfaces of the two synchronous belts 20 and the table surface of the material receiving platform 10 together form a conveying channel 30; a synchronous belt 20 is arranged on each side of the material receiving platform 10, and they and the table surface of the material receiving platform 10 together form a U-shaped conveying channel 30, and the synchronous belt 20 can be a foam synchronous belt or a laminated synchronous belt, so as to effectively push the medicine bottle forward without wearing the surface of the medicine bottle. In addition, in this embodiment, the height of the synchronous belt 20 is greater than half the height of the medicine bottle, ensuring that the medicine bottle will not tip over during the conveying process.

[0042] The adjusting mechanism 40 is connected to the two synchronous belts 20 and is used to adjust the distance between the two synchronous belts 20 and the material receiving platform 10, and the adjusting mechanism 40 can adjust the two synchronous belts 20 independently or synchronously; wherein, the two synchronous belts 20 are configured to move synchronously under the drive of the first driving mechanism 50 to convey the medicine bottles along the conveying channel 30.

[0043] During specific implementation, the operator can flexibly adjust the width of the conveying channel 30 through the adjustment mechanism 40 to accommodate medicine bottles of different specifications. At the same time, the first drive mechanism 50 (for example, a motor drive mechanism) allows the operator to set the conveying speed of the synchronous belt 20 according to actual needs; when the medicine bottle enters the conveying channel 30 from the upstream production line, the synchronous belts 20 on both sides will operate synchronously to push the medicine bottle forward with a gentle and stable force, that is, the mutual cooperation of the two synchronous belts 20 can effectively prevent the medicine bottle from slipping or tipping over during the conveying process, and ensure that the medicine bottle is accelerated when approaching the exit of the conveying channel 30, thereby avoiding the accumulation, collision and extrusion of the medicine bottle in this area, thereby significantly reducing the breakage rate and improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figures 2 to 5 , the regulating mechanism 40 comprises:

[0045] Frame 41;

[0046] Two bases 42 are slidably mounted on the frame 41, and two synchronous belts 20 are respectively mounted on one base 42; a second driving mechanism 43 is mounted on the frame 41 and is used to drive the two bases 42 to slide relative to the frame 41;

[0047] The second driving mechanism 43 can drive the two bases 42 independently or synchronously to adjust the width of the conveying channel 30 .

[0048] When implementing it, Figure 2 As shown, the frame 41 is a box-like structure that defines a box space, providing an internal installation space for the base 42 and the second drive mechanism 43 (such as a motor drive mechanism), making the device structure more compact. At the same time, each base 42 is provided with a slider that can slide linearly along the guide rail on the frame 41. At the same time, the synchronous belt 20 is installed on the base 42 through a connecting piece and moves with the base 42, thereby changing the width of the conveying channel 30.

[0049] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the second driving mechanism 43 includes two screw nuts 432 arranged on the frame 41 and adjusting screws 431 respectively threadedly matched with the two screw nuts 432, and the two adjusting screws 431 are respectively connected to a base 42. With this structural design, a handle 433 can also be configured at the end of the adjusting screw 431, and the operator drives the adjusting screw 431 to rotate by turning the handle 433. Since the screw nuts 432 are fixed on the frame 41, the adjusting screw 431 will move horizontally synchronously or independently with the base 42 and the synchronous belt 20 thereon, thereby realizing accurate adjustment of the width of the delivery channel 30. In addition, in order to facilitate operation, a length scale is also set on the adjusting screw 431, and the operator can intuitively understand the adjustment amount of the channel width.

[0050] As another implementation method, the adjusting screw 431 can also be driven by an independent servo motor. Each servo motor is connected to a horizontally set adjusting screw 431 through a coupling. The screw passes through a screw nut 432 fixed on the corresponding base 42. When the servo motor drives the adjusting screw 431 to rotate, the screw nut 432 will move along the axial direction of the adjusting screw 431, thereby driving the base 42 and the synchronous belt 20 thereon to move horizontally synchronously or independently, thereby realizing more precise and automated width adjustment.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first driving mechanism 50 includes two independent driving units, which are respectively mounted on the two bases 42 and are used to independently drive the two synchronous belts 20 to move synchronously. In this way, when one of the driving units fails, the other driving unit can still work independently to ensure partial conveying functions, avoid shutdown of the entire system, and improve the reliability of the equipment and the stability of the production line.

[0052] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, each of the driving units includes a driving motor 51, a driving pulley 52 and a driven pulley 53. The driving motor 51 is used to drive the driving pulley 52 to rotate, and the driving pulley 52 cooperates with the driven pulley 53 to drive the corresponding synchronous belt 20 to move.

[0053] With this structural design, the cooperation between the driving pulley 52 and the driven pulley 53 enables the synchronous belt 20 to form a straight section beside the receiving platform 10. This design ensures that the synchronous belt 20 can provide a stable thrust to steadily and powerfully push the medicine bottles in the feeding channel 30 forward. In this embodiment, in order to further ensure that the synchronous belt 20 is always in a tensioned state and avoid slipping or tooth jumping, a tensioning wheel 54 is additionally provided on the frame 41, which further improves the stability and reliability of the drive unit.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 , also includes:

[0055] A swing arm 70, rotatably connected to the frame 41;

[0056] A spring 71 is arranged on the frame 41;

[0057] The driven pulley 53 is rotatably mounted on the free end of the swing arm 70 , and the spring 71 abuts against the free end of the swing arm 70 to provide a force to enable the synchronous belt 20 to squeeze the medicine bottle in the conveying channel 30 .

[0058] With this structural design, under normal working conditions, the elastic force of the spring 71 will cause the swing arm 70 to deflect slightly, and the synchronous belt 20 will also shift slightly into the conveying channel 30, exerting appropriate squeezing force on the medicine bottles to ensure that the medicine bottles are pushed forward forcefully. When bottles pile up, this elastic buffer mechanism can play an important role: the accumulated medicine bottles will force the driven pulley 53 to move outward, and the swing arm 70 will overcome the elastic force of the spring 71 and deflect outward, providing a buffer space for the medicine bottles, avoiding jamming and excessive squeezing, improving the smoothness of transportation, and effectively preventing the occurrence of bottle explosion problems.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the driving pulleys 52 and the driven pulleys 53 of the two drive units are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the medicine bottles. With this structural design, the driving pulleys 52 and the driven pulleys 53 are respectively located at both ends of the synchronous belt 20. When the medicine bottles are piled up on the discharge side of the conveying channel 30, since the driven pulleys 53 are located at the end of the conveying direction and have elastic buffers, a larger buffer space can be provided for the medicine bottles to effectively avoid excessive squeezing and jamming.

[0060] In other embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the driving pulley 52 and the driven pulley 53 of one driving unit are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the medicine bottle, and the driven pulley 53 and the driving pulley 52 of the other driving unit are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the medicine bottle. With this structural design, compared with the situation where the driven pulleys 53 and the driving pulleys 52 of the two driving units are arranged in sequence, this staggered arrangement makes the entire conveying channel 30 have elastic buffering ability. In the actual production process, the medicine bottles will be concentrated on a material receiving platform after passing through the conveying channel 30. Due to different production rhythms (such as untimely material receiving), the medicine bottles may accumulate, and sometimes they may accumulate from the discharge side of the conveying channel 30 to the feed side, resulting in the situation where the medicine bottles are squeezed against each other before and after the conveying channel 30. This staggered arrangement design can provide effective buffering no matter which end of the conveying channel 30 the medicine bottles are accumulated at, avoiding excessive squeezing, thereby better protecting the medicine bottles and reducing damage.

[0061] In this embodiment, the frame 41 is further provided with a limit portion 411, and the limit portion 411 is used to limit the swing angle of the swing arm 70. Figure 5 As shown, the limit portion 411 can be designed as an oblong hole set on the base 42, and the driving shaft of the driven pulley 53 passes through the oblong hole and is connected to the driving motor 51 to limit the maximum swing angle of the swing arm 70, thereby simply and effectively ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to ensure that the medicine bottle has sufficient power for conveying, two limit plates 90 are also included. The two limit plates 90 are respectively arranged on the inner side of the two synchronous belts 20 and are arranged opposite to each other; the limit plates 90 are used to limit the displacement distance of the corresponding synchronous belt 20 in the first direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the medicine bottle. In this embodiment, the setting of the limit plates 90 limits the displacement distance of the synchronous belt 20 in the first direction. Even if the medicine bottle exerts a large lateral pressure on the synchronous belt 20, the synchronous belt 20 will not be excessively deformed, ensuring that there is continuous friction between the synchronous belt 20 and the conveyed medicine bottle to ensure stable thrust and avoid the medicine bottle from tipping over or getting stuck.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 8As shown, each of the bases 42 is provided with an isolation cover 80, and the synchronous belt 20, the driving pulley 52 and the driven pulley 53 are all located in the isolation cover 80, and the opposite sides of the two isolation covers 80 are provided with openings to expose the belt surface of the synchronous belt 20. The use of the isolation cover 80 can effectively prevent debris from entering the interior of the device to avoid contamination or damage to the moving parts. At the same time, the isolation cover 80 also serves as a safety barrier to prevent operators from accidentally contacting high-speed running parts, avoid accidental injuries, and improve the safety of the equipment. In addition, the two isolation covers 80 are provided with openings relative to each other, which is convenient for observing the running status of the synchronous belt 20, and does not affect the contact and transportation of the medicine bottle and the synchronous belt 20, thereby ensuring the normal function of the device.

[0064] The medicine bottle receiving and conveying device provided in this embodiment can easily adapt to medicine bottles of different sizes and quickly switch production batches of different specifications through an adjustable dual synchronous belt structure, in conjunction with an independently driven motor and a precise screw adjustment mechanism, thereby significantly improving the versatility and production efficiency of the device. At the same time, the pressure control of the spring pressure ensures stable transportation of the medicine bottles while minimizing the squeezing force on the bottle body and reducing the risk of squeeze, bursting and damage to the bottle body, making it an ideal solution for the receiving link of the pharmaceutical production line.
