The specific placement position can be set according to actual conditions; at least two collecting barrels 3 are used to respectively receive the tailings 10 from the flexible tube 2. When the collecting bucket 3 receives the glass tube tailings 10 discharged from the lower end of the flexible tube 2, the lower end of the flexible tube 2 can be located above the collecting bucket 3 or inside the collecting bucket 3; in addition, at least two collecting buckets 3 can receive the glass tube tailings 10 discharged from the lower end of the flexible tube 2 in a certain order or in no fixed order; the channel switch 4 is arranged on the tailings collecting hopper 1, and can be used to open the collecting bucket 3 when the glass tube tailings 10 received by the current collecting bucket 3 reaches After the set amount is reached, the material passage 100 is closed, and the material passage 100 is opened after the next material collection bucket 3 corresponds to the lower end of the flexible tube 2. In other words, the channel switch 4 can be used to control the on and off of the material passage 100.

The feed port 11 is used to receive the glass tube tailings 10 dropped from the tailings release port. By providing the upper extension section 13, the tailings dropped from the tailings release port can be prevented from splashing, reducing safety hazards and preventing the tailings from falling on the ground to cause extra workload; by providing the fixed section 15, it is convenient to connect the flexible tube 2; by providing the buffer section 14, it is possible to reduce the sliding rate of the tailings, further avoiding splashing when the tailings fall, and higher production safety.

[0032] In some embodiments, you may continue to refer to Figure 2 The upper extension section 13 and the fixed section 15 both extend in the vertical direction, and the buffer section 14 extends obliquely. The specific inclination angle of the buffer section 14 can be set according to actual conditions; the upper extension section 13 of the structure is convenient for installation and connection at the tailing release port, and the fixed section 15 of the structure further facilitates the connection and installation of the flexible pipe 2; the obliquely arranged buffer section 14 can reduce the sliding rate of the tailings, provide a buffer for the sliding of the tailings, and further avoid splashing when the tailings fall into the aggregate barrel 3; at the same time, the obliquely arranged buffer section 14 can be understood as the position of the discharge port 12 can be extended and arranged at an appropriate position, so that the aggregate barrel 3 can be arranged below the discharge port 12, thereby facilitating the transportation, placement and position adjustment of the aggregate barrel 3.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the horizontal cross-sectional dimensions of the upper extension section 13 are the same from top to bottom, and the horizontal cross-sectional dimensions of the fixed section 15 are the same from top to bottom, thereby facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the upper extension section 13 and the fixed section 15; the horizontal cross-sectional dimension of the buffer section 14 gradually decreases from top to bottom to form a hopper-type structure, further providing a buffer for the tailings to slide down, thereby avoiding splashing when the tailings fall into the collecting bucket 3.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper extension section 13, the buffer section 14 and the fixed section 15 all have a rectangular cross-sectional shape.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the flexible tube 2 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the fixed section 15 by a tightening member 21. The tightening member 21 can be selected as a tightening buckle, a cable tie, a tightening rope, etc. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the tightening member 21 mentioned above, and can also be a threaded connection structure, a snap connection structure, a magnetic connection structure, etc. As long as the flexible tube 2 and the fixed section 15 can be stably and efficiently connected, the above-mentioned structural forms should belong to the protection scope of the present application. When the flexible tube 2 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the fixed section 15, the discharge port 12 is located in the flexible tube 2. In this way, the tailings dropped from the discharge port 12 can fall into the flexible tube 2 to prevent the tailings from splashing or falling to the bottom.

[0037] In some embodiments, a fixing lug 131 is provided at the top of the outer wall of the upper extension section 13. Figure 1 As shown, the number and position of the fixing lugs 131 can be set according to actual conditions. Furthermore, two fixing lugs 131 can be set, which are respectively located on both sides of the top of the outer wall of the upper extension section 13, and through holes for installing bolts can be provided thereon, so that the upper extension section 13 can be connected to the tailing release port of the bottle making machine by bolts, thereby ensuring that the tailing collection is more stable and smooth.

[0038] In some embodiments, the initial state of the glass tube tail material collection device can be: the tail material collection hopper 1 is fixed to the lower end of the tail material release port of the bottle making machine by fixing the lug 131, and the channel switch 4 is in the closed state. When production is in progress, the first step is to put the collection barrel 3 in place and the flexible tube 2 in the barrel; the second step is to open the channel switch 4, and the tail material is sent into the collection barrel 3 through the material transfer channel 100 and the flexible tube 2; the third step is to close the channel switch 4 when the tail material in the collection barrel 3 reaches the set amount, and place the flexible tube 2 in another empty barrel (of course, it can also be placed in the collection barrel 3 where the internal tail material has not reached the set amount according to the actual situation); the fourth step is to open the channel switch 4 and continue the tail material collection work. When there is only one collection barrel 3 left, a new collection barrel 3 can be added, and the above process can be repeated.

[0039] The present application also provides a medicinal glass bottle making machine, including the above-mentioned glass tube tailings collecting device; by arranging the above-mentioned glass tube tailings collecting device on the medicinal glass bottle making machine, it is convenient to recover and reuse the tailings, and when replacing the collection barrel 3, the tailings can be prevented from spilling into the workshop. By setting the flexible pipe 2, the number of collection barrels 3 placed at one time can be increased, the collection efficiency can be improved, the number of operator operations can be reduced, and the production can be guaranteed to be executed in a more orderly and efficient manner.

[0040] The present application also provides a pharmaceutical glass bottle production line, including the above-mentioned pharmaceutical glass bottle bottle making machine; by arranging the pharmaceutical glass bottle bottle making machine on the pharmaceutical glass bottle production line, the efficiency of collecting tail materials can be improved, so that the production of the production line can be carried out more orderly and efficiently.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here.
