Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automation, in particular to a serum bottle packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] Serum bottles are commonly used equipment in the field of biological products. They include bottles and bottle caps. The bottle caps and bottles need to be screwed on and packaged when they are processed and shipped. Traditional packaging operations are all done by manually screwing the bottle caps on the bottles. This method is slow and time-consuming, and the screwing strength of each worker is different, which makes it easy for the bottle caps to fall off or be too tight, making it inconvenient for subsequent use.

[0003] For this reason, some automated capping equipment has emerged to replace manual capping operations. However, existing equipment, such as the automated capping mechanism for the medical industry disclosed in patent CN216662428U, drives the insert to rotate through a motor, so that the insert drives the combination of the bottle cap and the bottle, and after the bottle cap and the bottle are tightened, the cylinder push rod end drives the cross plate and the insert to lift upward to ensure that the bottle cap and the bottle cap are not taken out after the bottle cap and the bottle are tightened, and the cycle is in sequence, which increases production efficiency and reduces the work intensity of workers. Although this technology solves the problem of low efficiency of manual capping, the bottle is not fixed when the bottle cap is tightened, and the bottle is prone to shaking when the bottle cap is tightened, and is not stable enough when the bottle cap is tightened.

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] The utility model provides a serum bottle packaging machine, which realizes a series of operations such as automatic feeding and positioning of bottles, automatic feeding of bottle caps, automatic screwing of bottle caps and bottles, and automatic detection and unloading after screwing. The specific structure is as follows Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a cabinet 1, a conveyor belt 2 arranged on the cabinet, a bottle loading assembly 3 located at one end of the conveyor belt, a bottle cap loading assembly 4, a clamping and lifting assembly 5, a limiting assembly 6 and a bottle cap screwing assembly 7 located on the side of the conveyor belt, and a detection assembly 8 and a discharge assembly 9 located on both sides of the other end of the conveyor belt, wherein the bottle loading assembly pushes a group of bottles onto the conveyor belt and transmits them to the clamping and lifting assembly. At this time, the clamping and lifting assembly clamps and lifts the other bottles except the first bottle, so that these bottles do not move forward with the conveyor belt, and the first bottle is transmitted to the limiting assembly for clamping and limiting. At the same time, the bottle cap screwing assembly screws the bottle cap transmitted by the bottle cap loading assembly onto the bottle. The bottles after packaging continue to move forward to the detection assembly for packaging quality inspection. The qualified ones are discharged through the discharge assembly, and the unqualified ones continue to move forward with the conveyor belt and fall into the unqualified frame.

[0020] Specifically, the conveyor belt is fixed on the cabinet and is used to transport bottles between various processes. The conveyor belt can be arranged in a straight line or in an L-shaped layout as required (as shown in the figure). When it is arranged in an L-shaped layout, a reversing side block assembly 10 needs to be provided at the turning point to achieve inner blocking of the bottle when turning.

[0021] The bottle loading assembly includes a placement platform 31, a push plate 32, a push cylinder 33 and a linear slide 34. The placement platform is located on the side of one end of the conveyor belt. The front-end robot grabs the bottles on the front-end conveyor belt 0 in groups and places them on the placement platform. The push plate is vertically arranged relative to the placement platform and is controlled by the push cylinder to move along the linear slide to push multiple bottles on the placement platform onto the conveyor belt.

[0022] The bottles are transferred along the conveyor belt to the clamping and lifting assembly, through which the bottles that are not yet screwed are lifted to prevent them from continuing to move forward and affecting the positioning of the front screwed bottles. The specific structure of the clamping and lifting assembly includes clamping plates 51 relatively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt, and a clamping cylinder 52 for controlling the back and forth movement of the clamping plates. The clamping cylinder is fixed on a mounting plate 53, and the back of the mounting plate is controlled to rise and fall by a lifting module. When the bottle is conveyed between the two sets of clamping plates, the clamping cylinder controls the clamping plates to clamp the bottle, and at the same time the lifting module lifts the bottle to keep its bottom away from the conveyor belt.

[0023] The limiting component is used to limit the bottles to be screwed on the caps. Its structure includes an L-shaped baffle plate 61 located on one side of the conveyor belt and an L-shaped clamp 62 located on the other side of the conveyor belt. The L-shaped baffle plate is fixed to the cabinet through a first limiting cylinder 63, and the L clamp is fixed to the mounting plate 53 in conjunction with a second limiting cylinder 64 and a slide rail 65. During operation, the first limiting cylinder controls the L-shaped baffle plate to extend to block the bottle from moving forward, while the L clamp is controlled to move forward by the second limiting cylinder to clamp the bottle to prevent it from shaking during subsequent screwing of the caps.

[0024] The bottle cap feeding assembly includes a storage hopper 41, a bottle cap elevator 42, a feeding track 43 and a feeding module 44. The bottle cap elevator is an existing device, one end of which is placed in the storage hopper and the other end is connected to the feeding track. The bottle caps in the storage hopper are sent one by one to the feeding track and then to the feeding module. The feeding module is a linear slide, which is arranged perpendicular to the feeding track to reverse the fed bottle caps and transmit them to the bottom of the bottle cap screwing assembly.

[0025] The bottle cap screw assembly structure is as follows Figure 4 As shown, it includes a lifting module 71, a rotating motor 72, a pneumatic clamp 73, and a clamp 74. The lifting module is fixed on the cabinet, and a rotating motor and a fixed plate 75 are fixed on the lifting slider. The rotating head of the rotating motor passes through one side of the fixed plate and is equipped with a gear. The tail of the pneumatic clamp cooperates with the rotating shaft 76 and the bearing to be fixed on the other side of the fixed plate, and the rotating shaft passes through the fixed plate to cooperate with the gear and the transmission belt 77 to be connected with the rotating motor, so that the rotating motor drives the pneumatic clamp to rotate, and the clamp is fixed on the pneumatic clamp, and the pneumatic clamp controls the two clamps to move closer or farther from each other to clamp the bottle cap. After clamping the bottle cap, the lifting module descends so that the bottle cap buckles the bottle, and the rotating motor rotates at the same time to screw the bottle cap onto the bottle.

[0026] After the bottle is screwed in, the L-shaped baffle plate and the L-shaped clamp retract, and the bottle continues to move forward along the conveyor belt to the detection and unloading position, while the clamping and lifting assembly is released, allowing the next bottle to be conveyed to the capping position.

[0027] The detection component is a CCD camera, which determines whether the screwing is in place by acquiring the image of the screwing position. The structure of the blanking component is as follows: Figure 5As shown, it includes a material unloading push plate 91, a material storage plate 92, and a translation push plate 93. The material unloading push plate cooperates with the material unloading cylinder 94 to push the bottles that have passed the inspection on the conveyor belt to the material storage plate in sequence. The translation push plate is located on the side of the material storage plate, and cooperates with the transmission component 95 to push the bottles at the unloading port of the material storage plate horizontally to the other side of the material storage plate to increase the unloading space on the material storage plate. For the bottles on the other side, they can be transported and packed manually or with a mechanical claw.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
