Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicine cup splitting, in particular to a splitting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and modern civilization, medical and health knowledge has been popularized. People pay more and more attention to taking medicine scientifically and reasonably, and the demand for disposable medicine cups has also increased greatly. Before the medicine cups are processed, they need to be separated one by one by a splitting mechanism from the stacked cups, and then subsequent processes are carried out in sequence;

[0003] The patent with the publication number CN218260850U proposes a spiral groove type cup splitting wheel assembly and its splitting mechanism. Although it can solve the problem of separating stacked cups, since its cup splitting function is mainly realized by the cup splitting wheel clamping and pushing the outer edge of the cup body, it is easy to cause the outer edge of the relatively thin and soft cup body to deform, resulting in a reduced fit with the cup lid, and even unable to be buckled with the cup lid, affecting the progress of subsequent processes. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of this, the problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a splitting mechanism.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A splitting mechanism is provided with limit card seats for lapping the cup rim and limit stop rods for restricting the lateral movement of the cup body on both sides above the cup dropping through groove. The limit card seats are driven to reciprocate horizontally along the cup dropping through groove;

[0007] A splitting support plate and a feeding hanging plate are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the limit card seat. A blanking guiding slope platform is also constructed between the splitting support plate and the limit card seat. The vertical distance between the blanking guiding slope platform and the feeding hanging plate is greater than the thickness of the cup rim.

[0008] The cross-sectional area of the blanking guiding slope platform gradually decreases along the direction close to the feeding hanging plate.

[0009] The sides of the splitting support plate and the feeding hanging plate extend along the direction close to the cup dropping through groove and are flush with the limit card seat and the blanking guiding slope platform.

[0010] The limit card seats are constructed on the left and right sides of the limit card seat, and the limit stop rods are constructed on the front and back sides of the limit card seat.

[0011] The limit card seats are slidably arranged on the linear slide rails.

[0012] The cup-dividing mechanism further includes a driving motor and a connecting rod group. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod in the connecting rod group are rotatably connected through a connecting shaft. The first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor, and the second connecting rod is connected to the extension frame on the limit clamping seat through a spherical rod end joint bearing.

[0013] An electric motor motion limit inductor is also installed on the side of the driving motor and on the extension frame.

[0014] The cup-dividing mechanism further includes a dividing device, and one of the feeding bin openings on the dividing device is located directly below the cup dropping through groove.

[0015] The advantages and positive effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0016] During the entire cup-dividing process, it is realized by the limit clamping seat, the blanking guiding slope, and the cup-dividing support plate sliding below the cup rim, thereby avoiding deformation of the cup rim, which affects the buckling with the cup lid and the subsequent processes.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present utility model provides a cup separating mechanism. On both sides above the cup dropping through groove 31, there are provided limit clamping seats 11 for lapping the cup rim and limit stop rods 21 for restricting the lateral movement of the cup body. The limit stop rods 21 are connected to the conveying pipe network 4. The stacked cups enter the area enclosed by the limit stop rods 21 through the conveying pipe network 4. Among the stacked cups, the cup rim of the lowermost cup laps on the limit clamping seats 11, thereby realizing the limitation of the entire stacked cup group and preventing the entire stacked cup group from falling out of the cup dropping through groove 31. A cup separating support plate 12 and a feeding hanging plate 13 are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the limit clamping seat 11. A blanking guiding slope 14 is also formed between the cup separating support plate 12 and the limit clamping seat 11. The vertical distance between the blanking guiding slope 14 and the feeding hanging plate 13 is greater than the thickness of the cup rim.

[0027] The limit clamping seat 11 is driven to move reciprocally in the transverse direction along the cup dropping through groove 31. Since the cup body is transversely limited by the limit stop rod 21 in the transverse direction, that is, the limit clamping seat 11 can move reciprocally in the transverse direction relative to the cup body. When the limit clamping seat 11 is driven to move away from the cup dropping through groove 31, the cup body at the lowermost position moves downward under the action of the blanking guiding slope 14. At the same time, the cup rim of the cup adjacent to the lowermost cup body overlaps on the cup separating support plate 12, thereby preventing the entire stacked cup group from moving downward along with the blanking guiding slope 14. The cup body moving downward along with the blanking guiding slope 14 overlaps on the feeding hanging plate 13. When the limit clamping seat 11 is driven to move towards the cup dropping through groove 31, the feeding hanging plate 13 moves synchronously with the limit clamping seat 11. Since the cup body is transversely restricted by the limit stop rod 21 and the vertical distance between the blanking guiding slope 14 and the feeding hanging plate 13 is greater than the thickness of the cup rim, when the feeding hanging plate 13 moves transversely away from the cup body, the cup body drops into the cup dropping through groove 31 through the gap between the blanking guiding slope 14 and the feeding hanging plate 13. The stacked cup group overlapping on the cup separating support plate 12 finally overlaps on the limit clamping seat 11 under the action of the blanking guiding slope 14. If cup separation is required again, the above process can be repeated; during the entire cup separation process, it is achieved by sliding the limit clamping seat 11, the blanking guiding slope 14, and the cup separating support plate 12 under the cup rim, thereby avoiding deformation of the cup rim and affecting the buckling with the cup lid and the subsequent processes.

[0028] Specifically, the transverse cross-sectional area of the blanking guiding slope 14 gradually decreases in the direction close to the feeding hanging plate 13, so that the cup body gradually moves downward.

[0029] Specifically, the sides of the cup separating support plate 12 and the feeding hanging plate 13 both extend in the direction close to the cup dropping through groove 31 and are flush with the limit clamping seat 11 and the blanking guiding slope 14, so that the cup body has a smooth transition when passing through the limit clamping seat 11, the blanking guiding slope 14, and the feeding hanging plate 13.

[0030] Specifically, the limit stop rods 21 are constructed on the left and right sides of the limit clamping seat 11, and the limit stop rods 21 are constructed on the front and back sides of the limit clamping seat 11. In this embodiment, four groups of limit stop rods 21 are provided, and the four groups of limit stop rods 21 are fixedly connected to the conveying pipe network 4 through a connecting disk.

[0031] Specifically, the limit clamping seat 11 is slidably arranged on the linear slide rail 15.

[0032] Such as Figure 2 And Figure 4As shown in the figure, specifically, the cup separating mechanism further includes a driving motor 3 and a connecting rod group. The first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 in the connecting rod group are rotatably connected through a connecting shaft. The first connecting rod 41 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 3. One end of the second connecting rod 42 is connected with a spherical rod end joint bearing 43. The connecting shaft II passes through the spherical rod end joint bearing 43 and is fixedly connected to the extension bracket 16 on the limit card seat 11. The driving motor 3 converts the rotational drive into a linear reciprocating drive through the connecting rod group.

[0033] Specifically, a motor motion limit inductor 5 is also installed on the side of the driving motor 3 and on the extension bracket 16. When the mechanism operates normally, during the reciprocating motion of the limit card seat 11, the maximum distance and the minimum distance between the motor motion limit inductor 5 on the extension bracket 16 of the limit card seat 11 and the motor motion limit inductor 5 on the side of the driving motor 3 are within the threshold range. When a fault occurs (the cup body is clamped), it is outside the threshold, thereby triggering the alarm system so that the worker can check and repair in time.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown Figure 4 As shown in the figure, specifically, the cup separating mechanism further includes a divider 6. One of the feed bin openings 61 on the divider 6 is located directly below the cup dropping through groove 31.

[0035] Starting from the feed bin directly below the cup dropping through groove 31 and moving counterclockwise, the feed bins on the divider 6 are respectively the medicine cup feeding position, the medicine cup dropping medicine position, the medicine cup capping position, the medicine cup labeling position, and the medicine cup discharging position. Thus, as the divider 6 continuously operates, the entire process of medicine filling, capping, labeling, and cup discharging is completed.

[0036] The working principle and process of the present utility model are as follows:

[0037] The stacked cup bodies enter the area enclosed by the limit stop rods 21 through the conveyor pipe network 4. Among the stacked cup bodies, the rim of the lowermost cup body overlaps on the limit card seat 11, thereby realizing the limitation of the entire stacked cup group and preventing the entire stacked cup group from falling from the cup dropping through groove 31.

[0038] When the driving motor 3 drives, it is connected to the extension frame 16 on the limit card seat 11 through the connecting rod group, and then the rotational drive is converted into a linear reciprocating drive. When the limit card seat 11 is driven to move in a direction away from the cup dropping through groove 31, the cup body at the bottom descends under the action of the blanking guiding slope 14. At the same time, the cup body at the bottom is separated from the adjacent cup body, and the cup rim of the adjacent cup body is lapped on the cup separating support plate 12, thereby preventing the entire stacked cup group from descending along with the blanking guiding slope 14. The cup body descending along with the blanking guiding slope 14 then descends and laps on the feeding hanging plate 13. When the limit card seat 11 is driven to move in a direction close to the cup dropping through groove 31, the feeding hanging plate 13 moves synchronously with the limit card seat 11. Since the cup body is laterally restricted by the limit stop rod 21, and the vertical distance between the blanking guiding slope 14 and the feeding hanging plate 13 is greater than the thickness of the cup rim, when the cup body disengages from the feeding hanging plate 13, it drops into the cup dropping through groove 31 from below the blanking guiding slope 14. The stacked cup group lapped on the cup separating support plate 12 finally laps on the limit card seat 11 under the action of the blanking guiding slope 14. If cup dropping is required again, the above process can be repeated.

[0039] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail, but the content described is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be considered as used to limit the implementation scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope covered by this patent.
