Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechanical automatic drug dispensing, and in particular to an open cap device for cooperating with a medicine bottle manipulator. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the drug dispensing efficiency, mechanical automatic drug dispensing has been developed in the medical field. The mechanical automatic drug dispensing process usually involves opening the caps of vials. A vial is a small glass container, usually used to store and transport liquid medicine or powdered medicine. The vial is generally sealed at the bottle mouth by combining a rubber stopper and an aluminum-plastic combined cap. When it is necessary to use the liquid medicine loaded in the vial, it is usually necessary to open the cap of the vial, and then insert an injector into the bottle to suck out the liquid medicine in the bottle for standby.

[0003] In the prior art, the open cap device includes two clamping plates and a driving member for making the two clamping plates approach or separate from each other. A manipulator configured with a clamping member is used to clamp the vial and move it to the open cap device. The driving member drives the two clamping plates to clamp the bottle mouth of the vial, and makes both of the two clamping plates just located below the edge of the cap. At this time, the manipulator clamps the vial and pulls it downwards, and the cap will be blocked by the two clamping plates. According to the fact that the action of force is mutual, the cap receives an upward force, so that the cap is pulled out, thus realizing the opening of the vial.

[0004] However, during the cap opening process, after the cap is separated from the bottle body, it will fly out due to inertia force, resulting in the cap flying out and falling into the entire drug dispensing equipment, which is not easy to collect and is also likely to have an adverse impact on other operating mechanisms. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to reduce the adverse impact on drug dispensing caused by the cap flying out when using a manipulator to open the cap of a medicine bottle, the present application provides an open cap device for cooperating with a medicine bottle manipulator.

[0006] The open cap device for cooperating with a medicine bottle manipulator provided by the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An open cap device for cooperating with a medicine bottle manipulator, characterized in that: it includes a manipulator, a bottle clamping member fixedly arranged at the driving end of the manipulator, and an open cap assembly adjacent to the manipulator. The bottle clamping member is used for horizontally clamping the vial. The open cap assembly includes an open cap machine box, a driving member arranged in the open cap machine box, and two abutting members arranged on the driving member. The driving member is used for making the two abutting members approach or separate from each other in the horizontal direction. The open cap machine box is provided with an open cap window. A baffle plate is arranged at the driving end of the manipulator. The baffle plate is located on the side of the bottle clamping member close to the driving end of the manipulator, and the baffle plate is used to block the path for the cap to fly out of the open cap machine box.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the vial is horizontally clamped by the vial clamping member, and then the manipulator leads the vial to move into the opening window of the bottle opening machine case. At this time, the driving member drives the two abutting members to clamp the mouth of the vial, and makes both of the two abutting members just below the edge of the bottle cap. At this time, the manipulator clamps the vial and pulls it downward, and the bottle cap will be blocked by the two abutting members and thus receive an upward force, resulting in the bottle cap being pulled out. After the bottle cap is separated from the bottle body, since the baffle plate is located on the side of the vial clamping member close to the driving end of the manipulator, it can block the path of the bottle cap away from the bottle opening machine case, so that the pulled-out bottle cap falls into the bottle opening machine case. The above process can not only avoid the bottle cap flying around during the opening process, but also collect the bottle cap in time, so as to reduce the adverse impact on dispensing caused by the bottle cap flying out when using the manipulator to open the medicine bottle.

[0009] Optionally, the baffle plate is fixedly arranged at the driving end of the manipulator through at least one telescopic rod. The baffle plate is perpendicular to the plane where the moving paths of the two abutting members are located together. An elastic supporting member is arranged between the driving end of the manipulator and the baffle plate, and the elastic supporting member is used to make the baffle plate always tend to be away from the driving end of the manipulator.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, since the elastic supporting member is used to make the baffle plate always tend to be away from the driving end of the manipulator, so that the baffle plate can elastically abut against the bottle caps of vials with different diameters. When the bottle cap is pulled out, the baffle plate can apply an elastic potential energy to the bottle cap, so as to knock the bottle cap into the bottle opening machine case, reducing the possibility of the bottle cap flying out of the bottle opening machine case and being more convenient for collection.

[0011] Optionally, the telescopic rod includes a central rod and a sleeve rod that slides on the central rod. The sleeve rod is arranged at the driving end of the manipulator, and the baffle plate is fixedly arranged on the central rod; the elastic supporting member is a spring, the elastic supporting member is located inside the sleeve rod, and both ends of the elastic supporting member are respectively fixed to the central rod and the sleeve rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic supporting member makes the central rod always tend to be elastically away from the sleeve rod, so as to realize that the baffle plate always tends to be elastically away from the driving end of the manipulator.

[0013] Optionally, the driving end of the manipulator is fixedly connected with an installation box. The sleeve rod is located in and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation box, and the central rod passes through and slides on the other side wall of the installation box.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation box provides an outer cover protection for the sliding connection part of the central rod and the sleeve rod, so as to reduce the possibility of foreign objects affecting the sliding connection between the central rod and the sleeve rod and improve the service life; and the installation box can support the central rod, so that the central rod can better fixedly support the baffle plate.

[0015] Optionally, the driving member is a two-finger pneumatic jaw chuck. The jaw chuck of the driving member is located below the body, and the moving path of the jaw chuck is horizontally arranged. The two abutting members are respectively fixed to the two jaw chucks of the driving member.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the two-finger pneumatic jaw chuck can perform clamping actions stably and at high frequency, thus ensuring stable bottle-opening efficiency and effect.

[0017] Optionally, both of the two abutting members are plate-shaped and horizontally arranged. First clamping grooves are formed on the edges of the two abutting members facing each other, and the contour of the edge of the first clamping groove is semi-circular.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner edges of the two first clamping grooves abut against the mouth of the vial to increase the contact area between the abutting member and the bottle cap, so as to reduce the pressure on the abutting member and the bottle cap when the abutting member pushes open the bottle cap, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the abutting member and the bottle cap during the bottle-opening process.

[0019] Optionally, second clamping grooves are formed on the edges of the two abutting members facing each other. The inner edge contour of the second clamping groove is semi-circular, and the inner diameter of the second clamping groove is smaller than that of the first clamping groove.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, by providing the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove with an inner diameter smaller than that of the first clamping groove, the mouth of the vial with a wider range of caliber sizes can be abutted, thereby improving the applicability.

[0021] Optionally, the bottle clamping member is a two-finger pneumatic jaw chuck, and the jaw chuck of the bottle clamping member is located on the side of the main body away from the driving end of the manipulator, and the moving path of the jaw chuck is horizontally arranged.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the two-finger pneumatic jaw chuck can perform clamping actions stably and at high frequency, thus ensuring stable bottle clamping efficiency and effect.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Since the baffle cover is located on the side of the bottle clamping member close to the driving end of the manipulator, it can block the path of the bottle cap away from the bottle-opening machine case, so that the pulled-out bottle cap falls into the bottle-opening machine case. The above process can not only prevent the bottle cap from flying around during the bottle-opening process, but also collect the bottle cap in time, thereby reducing the adverse impact on drug dispensing caused by the flying of the bottle cap when using the manipulator to open the medicine bottle.

[0025] 2. Since the elastic support member is used to make the baffle plate always tend to move away from the driving end of the manipulator, so that the baffle plate can elastically abut against the bottle caps of vials with different calibers. When the bottle cap is pulled out, the baffle plate can apply an elastic potential energy to the bottle cap, thereby knocking the bottle cap into the bottle opening box, reducing the possibility of the bottle cap flying out of the bottle opening box and making it more convenient to collect;

[0026] 3. By the inner edges of the two first clamping grooves abutting against the mouth of the vial, the contact area between the abutting member and the bottle cap is increased, and when the abutting member pushes open the bottle cap, the pressure on the abutting member and the bottle cap is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the abutting member and the bottle cap during the bottle opening process.

Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0031] The following is a further detailed description of the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-3 drawings.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application discloses an opening device for cooperating with a medicine bottle manipulator. Referring to Figure 1 , the opening device for cooperating with the medicine bottle manipulator includes a manipulator 1, a bottle clamping member 2 and a bottle opening assembly 3. The bottle clamping member 2 is fixedly arranged at the driving end of the manipulator 1, and the bottle opening assembly 3 is arranged adjacent to the manipulator 1.

[0033] The bottle opening assembly 3 includes a bottle opening chassis 31, a driving member 32, and two abutting members 33. The bottle opening chassis 31 has a rectangular parallelepiped hollow structure, and an opening window is provided on one side wall of the bottle opening chassis 31. The driving member 32 is a two-finger pneumatic claw chuck. The driving member 32 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottle opening chassis 31 on the side far from the opening window. The claw chuck of the driving member 32 is located directly below the body of the driving member 32, and the moving paths of the two claw chucks are both horizontally arranged. The two abutting members 33 are respectively fixedly corresponding to the two claw chucks of the driving member 32, and the driving member 32 can make the two abutting members 33 approach or move away from each other horizontally. The two abutting members 33 are both horizontally arranged plate-like structures, and the two abutting members 33 are located in the same plane.

[0034] The bottle clamping member 2 is a two-finger pneumatic claw chuck, and the claw chuck of the bottle clamping member 2 is located on the side of the main body away from the driving end of the manipulator 1, and the moving paths of the two claw chucks of the bottle clamping member 2 are both horizontally arranged. A baffle plate 4 is provided at the driving end of the manipulator 1. The baffle plate 4 is above the bottle clamping member 2 and between the claw chuck of the bottle clamping member 2 and the driving end of the manipulator 1. The baffle plate 4 is used to block the path of the bottle cap 82 flying out of the bottle opening chassis 31.

[0035] The vial 8 includes a vial body 81, a bottle cap 82 fastened to the opening edge of the vial body 81, and a rubber stopper 83 fixedly connected to the bottle cap 82. The rubber stopper 83 plugs the opening of the vial body 81. The vial body 81 of the vial 8 is horizontally clamped by the bottle clamping member 2, and then the manipulator 1 leads the vial 8 to move into the opening window of the bottle opening chassis 31. At this time, the driving member 32 drives the two abutting members 33 to clamp the mouth of the vial 8, and makes the two abutting members 33 just located below the edge of the bottle cap 82. At this time, the manipulator 1 clamps the vial 8 and pulls it downwards, and the bottle cap 82 will be blocked by the two abutting members 33 and thus receive an upward force, resulting in the bottle cap 82 being pulled out. After the bottle cap 82 is separated from the vial body 81, since the baffle plate 4 is located on the side of the bottle clamping member 2 close to the driving end of the manipulator 1, it can block the path of the bottle cap 82 flying out of the bottle opening chassis 31, so that the pulled-out bottle cap 82 falls into the bottle opening chassis 31. The above process can not only prevent the bottle cap 82 from flying around during the bottle opening process, but also collect the bottle cap 82 in time, thereby reducing the adverse impact on drug dispensing caused by the flying out of the bottle cap 82 when using the manipulator 1 to open the medicine bottle.

[0036] Moreover, the two-finger pneumatic claw chuck can perform clamping actions stably and at high frequency, thus ensuring stable bottle opening efficiency and effect, as well as bottle clamping efficiency and effect, thereby improving the efficiency of automatic drug dispensing.

[0037] In order to collect the bottle caps 82 more stably, an installation box 7 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the manipulator 1, and the bottle clamping member 2 is fixedly connected to the installation box 7. On one inner wall of the installation box 7 close to the driving end of the manipulator 1, three telescopic rods 5 are provided. The telescopic rod 5 includes a central rod 51 and a sleeve rod 52. The sleeve rods 52 of the three telescopic rods 5 are all fixedly connected to one inner wall of the installation box 7 close to the driving end of the manipulator 1. The central rod 51 passes through and is slidably connected to the sleeve rod 52, and the sliding direction of the central rod 51 relative to the sleeve rod 52 is horizontally arranged. The three central rods 51 all pass through and are slidably connected to the box wall of the installation box 7 far from the driving end of the manipulator 1, and the baffle cover plate 4 is fixedly connected to the three central rods 51 at the same time. An oil-free bushing 9 is provided at the penetration part of the central rod 51 and the box wall of the installation box 7. The oil-free bushing 9 is fixedly connected to the box wall of the installation box 7 and is sleeved outside the central rod 51.

[0038] An elastic top support member 6 is provided between the driving end of the manipulator 1 and the baffle cover plate 4. The elastic top support member 6 is a spring. The elastic top support member 6 is located inside the sleeve rod 52, and both ends of the elastic top support member 6 are respectively fixed to the central rod 51 and the sleeve rod 52. The elastic top support member 6 is always in a compressed state.

[0039] Since the elastic top support member 6 is always in a compressed state, the elastic top support member 6 makes the central rod 51 always have an elastic tendency to move away from the sleeve rod 52, so as to realize that the baffle cover plate 4 always has an elastic tendency to move away from the driving end of the manipulator 1, so that the baffle cover plate 4 can elastically contact the bottle caps 82 of the vials 8 with different diameters. While the bottle caps 82 are being pulled out, the baffle cover plate 4 can apply an elastic potential energy to the bottle caps 82, thereby knocking the bottle caps 82 into the bottle opening machine box 31, so as to reduce the possibility of the bottle caps 82 flying out of the bottle opening machine box 31 and making it more convenient for collection.

[0040] The installation box 7 provides an outer cover protection for the sliding connection part of the central rod 51 and the sleeve rod 52, so as to reduce the possibility of foreign objects affecting the sliding connection of the central rod 51 and the sleeve rod 52 and improve the service life; and the installation box 7 can support the central rod 51, so that the central rod 51 can better fixedly support the baffle cover plate 4.

[0041] In order to facilitate opening the caps of vials 8 with different diameters, on the opposite side edges of the two abutting members 33, first clamping grooves 331 are respectively opened. The opening directions of the two first clamping grooves 331 are opposite to each other, and both of the two first clamping grooves 331 are through grooves. The groove edge contour of the first clamping groove 331 is semicircular. Moreover, on the opposite side edges of the two abutting members 33, second clamping grooves 332 are respectively opened. The opening directions of the two second clamping grooves 332 are opposite to each other, and both of the two second clamping grooves 332 are through grooves. The groove edge contour of the second clamping groove 332 is semicircular, and the inner diameter of the second clamping groove 332 is smaller than that of the first clamping groove 331.

[0042] The inner edges of the two first clamping grooves 331 abut against the mouth of the vial 8, so as to increase the contact area between the abutting member 33 and the bottle cap 82, and reduce the pressure on the abutting member 33 and the bottle cap 82 when the abutting member 33 pushes open the bottle cap 82, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the abutting member 33 and the bottle cap 82 during the process of opening the cap. And by providing the first clamping groove 331 and the second clamping groove 332 with an inner diameter smaller than that of the first clamping groove 331, it is possible to abut against the mouths of vials 8 with a wider range of calibers, thereby improving the applicability.

[0043] The implementation principle of an opening device for cooperating with a medicine bottle manipulator in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: The bottle body 81 of the vial 8 is horizontally clamped by the bottle clamping member 2, and then the manipulator 1 leads the vial 8 to move into the opening window of the opening machine case 31. At this time, the driving member 32 drives the two abutting members 33 to clamp the mouth of the vial 8, and makes both of the two abutting members 33 just located below the edge of the bottle cap 82. At this time, the manipulator 1 clamps the vial 8 and pulls it downward, and the bottle cap 82 will be blocked by the two abutting members 33 and thus receive an upward force, resulting in the bottle cap 82 being pulled out. After the bottle cap 82 is separated from the bottle body 81, the baffle plate 4 can not only block the path of the bottle cap 82 away from the opening machine case 31, but also apply an elastic potential energy to the bottle cap 82, so as to strike the bottle cap 82 into the opening machine case 31, so that the pulled-out bottle cap 82 falls into the opening machine case 31. The above process can not only prevent the bottle cap 82 from flying around during the opening process, but also collect the bottle cap 82 in time, thereby reducing the adverse impact on medicine dispensing caused by the flying of the bottle cap 82 when using the manipulator 1 to open the medicine bottle.

[0044] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
