The second guide plate is arranged on the side of the second turntable and is provided with a second guiding arc surface matching the second turntable. The feeding screw is arranged above the second turntable. An arc-shaped baffle is arranged on the side of the feeding screw. An inclined guiding arc surface gradually changing from horizontal to vertical is arranged on the side of the arc-shaped baffle close to the feeding screw for converting the medicine bottle from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The lower part of the second turntable cooperates with the medicine bottles on the conveyor. The discharging end above the feeding gap between the second turntable and the second guide plate receives the feeding end of the feeding gap between the feeding screw and the arc-shaped baffle. The discharging end of the feeding screw is connected to a storage tray.

[0006] Preferably, the discharging end of the conveyor is further connected with a medicine bottle loading tray mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, a first chuck is provided on one side of the discharge end of the feeding screw. The first chuck driven by power is horizontally rotatably arranged. A first guiding plate is provided on the outer periphery of the first chuck. First grooves are equidistantly arranged on the outer circular shaft of the first chuck. The feeding port on the first guiding plate is connected to the discharge end of the feeding gap between the feeding screw and the arc-shaped baffle. The discharge port on the first guiding plate is connected to the storage tray.

[0008] Preferably, a second detection mechanism for detecting the height of the medicine bottle is further installed on the conveyor in front of the first detection mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the second detection mechanism includes a detection frame, a slide rail, a top block, a detector and a tension spring. The detection frame is installed on the machine frame. The slide rail is horizontally installed on the detection frame. A moving frame is horizontally slidably arranged on the slide rail. The top block fixedly connected to the moving frame is movably arranged above the conveyor. An inclined surface matched with the medicine bottle is provided on the bottom surface of the top block. The two ends of the tension spring are respectively horizontally fixedly connected to the moving frame and the detection frame. The detector includes a photoelectric detection component and a baffle.

[0011] Preferably, the bottle aligning mechanism includes a bottle aligning and positioning plate arranged above the conveyor near the bottom side of the medicine bottle. The bottle aligning and positioning plate is adjustably installed on the machine frame in the front and back directions, and the tail of the bottle aligning and positioning plate inclines at a certain angle towards the middle of the conveyor along the conveying direction of the conveyor.

[0012] Preferably, the first detection mechanism adopts a vision detection device.

[0013] Preferably, the waste kicking mechanism is vertically adjustably installed on the machine frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. When the first detection mechanism in front of the present utility model detects a medicine bottle with unqualified printing and conveys it to the second chuck along with the conveyor, the negative pressure suction action of the negative pressure suction holes on the second chuck is utilized, and the rotation of the second chuck is coordinated to send it into the feeding gap between the second chuck and the second guiding plate, thereby effectively grasping the medicine bottle with printing problems.

[0016] 2. The second chuck horizontally sends the medicine bottle with printing problems to the feeding end of the feeding screw. Along with the rotation of the feeding screw and the guiding of the arc-shaped baffle, the medicine bottle is gradually adjusted from a horizontal state to an upright state. Through the rotational conveyance of the first chuck, the medicine bottle is sent from the discharge port of the first guiding plate to the storage tray for centralized storage.

[0017] 3. When problems such as bottle skipping occur, the height of the problematic medicine bottle will be higher than the bottom of the top block. As the conveyor moves forward, the problematic medicine bottle will move horizontally against the top block through the inclined plane under the top block, thereby driving the moving frame to act, causing the baffle on the moving frame to disengage from the photoelectric detection component, and then detecting that the height of this medicine bottle is abnormal. The equipment will stop in time to ensure that the medicine bottle can pass stably through the kicking and discarding mechanism and operate effectively, thus effectively avoiding the occurrence of medicine bottle breaking accidents.

[0018] 4. Under the guiding action of the inclined bottle aligning and positioning plate, the medicine bottles on the conveyor can be effectively sorted and positioned, making them more orderly, so that the subsequent medicine bottle printing and detection are more accurate, and it is also more convenient for the subsequent medicine bottles to be effectively placed into the tray and boxed.

[0024] The principles and features of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present utility model and do not limit the scope of use of the present utility model.

[0025] As Figures 1-5 shown, the present utility model provides a medicine bottle printing detection, kicking and discarding device, which includes a conveyor 4, a printing mechanism and a detection, kicking and discarding mechanism installed on a frame 1. The conveyor 4 is a chain conveyor 4. The medicine bottles are horizontally supported and placed between two adjacent chain rods above the chain conveyor 4. The printing mechanism can perform printing operations on the bottle bodies of the medicine bottles on the chain conveyor 4. The detection, kicking and discarding mechanism is installed on the frame 1 in an adjustable up and down manner, so that the device can adapt to the debugging and installation during the processing of different models of medicine bottles and is more convenient to use.

[0026] The detection, kicking and discarding mechanism includes a first detection mechanism 5 for detecting the printing condition of the medicine bottles and a kicking and discarding mechanism for removing the printed waste medicine bottles. The printing mechanism (not shown in the figure), the first detection mechanism 5 and the kicking and discarding mechanism are sequentially arranged above the conveyor 4 along the material conveying direction. The first detection mechanism 5 adopts an existing visual detection device.

[0027] Moreover, a second detection mechanism 3 for detecting the height of the medicine bottles is installed on the conveyor 4 in front of the first detection mechanism 5, and a bottle aligning mechanism 2 is further provided on the conveyor 4 in front of the second detection mechanism 3.

[0028] The second detection mechanism 3 includes a detection frame 31, a slide rail 32, a top block 34, a detector and a tension spring 35. The detection frame 31 is installed on the frame 1, the slide rail 32 is horizontally installed on the detection frame 31, and a moving frame 33 is horizontally slidably provided on the slide rail 32. The moving frame 33 includes a first moving plate 331, a second moving plate 332 and a third moving plate 333. The first moving plate 331 is of an L-shaped structure, the vertical part of the first moving plate 331 is horizontally slidably installed on the slide rail 32, the second moving plate 332 is adjustably installed on the horizontal part of the first moving plate 331 in the front-back direction, the third moving plate 333 is adjustably installed on the second moving plate 332 in the up-down direction, the top block 34 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the third moving plate 333, and an inclined surface matching with the medicine bottles on the conveyor 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the top block 34. The two ends of the tension spring 35 are respectively horizontally fixedly connected to the moving frame 33 and the detection frame 31 for resetting the moving frame 33 and the top block 34. The detector includes a photoelectric detection component 37 and a baffle 36. One end of the baffle 36 is fixedly connected to the first moving plate 331, and the other end is matched with the photoelectric detection component 37 installed on the detection frame 31. When the medicine bottles are normally conveyed on the conveyor 4, they are located between two adjacent link rods and the height is lower than the top block 34 above the conveyor 4, and can pass under the second detection mechanism 3; when problems such as bottle skipping occur, the height of the problematic medicine bottles will be higher than the bottom of the top block 34. As the conveyor 4 conveys forward, the problematic medicine bottles will move horizontally against the top block 34 through the inclined surface under the top block 34, thereby driving the moving frame 33 to act, so that the baffle 36 on the moving frame 33 is separated from the photoelectric detection component 37, and then it is detected that the height of this medicine bottle is abnormal, and the equipment stops in time to ensure that the medicine bottles can pass stably through the kicking and discarding mechanism and operate effectively, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of medicine bottle breaking accidents.

[0029] The bottle aligning mechanism 2 includes a bottle aligning and positioning plate 21 horizontally arranged above the conveyor 4 near the bottom side of the medicine bottles for positioning and arranging the medicine bottles conveyed on the conveyor 4. The bottle aligning and positioning plate 21 is adjustably installed on the frame 1 in the front-back direction through a corresponding adjusting plate 22, and the tail of the bottle aligning and positioning plate 21 inclines at a certain angle towards the middle of the conveyor 4 along the conveying direction of the conveyor 4. Under the guiding action of the inclined bottle aligning and positioning plate 21, the medicine bottles on the conveyor 4 can be effectively sorted and positioned to make them more orderly, so that the subsequent printing and detection of the medicine bottles are more accurate and it is also more convenient for the subsequent medicine bottles to be effectively placed into the trays and boxes.

[0030] The waste kicking mechanism includes a transmission and transfer mechanism 6, a feeding screw 71 and a first faceplate 74. The transmission and transfer mechanism includes a second faceplate 61 and a second guide plate 62. The second faceplate 61 with power drive is vertically rotated and installed above the conveyor 4. A plurality of arc-shaped second grooves 611 are evenly spaced on the circumferential surface of the second faceplate 61. A negative pressure suction hole 612 connected to an external negative pressure gas source is opened in the second groove 611. The second guide plate 62 is arranged on the side of the second faceplate 61 and is provided with a second guide arc surface matched with the second faceplate 61. The lower part of the second groove 611 of the second faceplate 61 is matched with the medicine bottle on the conveyor 4. When the first detection mechanism 5 in front detects that the medicine bottle with unqualified printing is transported to the second faceplate 61 by the conveyor 4, the negative pressure suction action of the negative pressure suction hole 612 on the second faceplate 61 is used to cooperate with the rotation of the second faceplate 61 to send it into the feeding gap between the second faceplate 61 and the second guide plate 62, thereby completing the effective grasping of the medicine bottle with printing problems.

[0031] The feeding screw 71 installed in the housing 70 is horizontally arranged above the second faceplate 61, and an arc-shaped baffle 73 is provided on the side of the feeding screw 71. The arc-shaped baffle 73 is provided with an inclined guide arc surface that gradually turns from horizontal to vertical near the feeding screw 71, which is used to turn the medicine bottle from a horizontal state to a vertical state; the discharge end above the feeding gap between the second faceplate 61 and the second guide plate 62 receives the feeding end of the feeding gap between the feeding screw 71 and the arc-shaped baffle 73; the first faceplate 74 with power drive is horizontally rotatably installed at the tail of the feeding screw 71, and a first guide plate 75 is provided on the outer periphery of the first faceplate 74. The feeding port on the first guide plate 75 is connected to the feeding gap discharge end between the feeding screw 71 and the arc-shaped baffle 73, and the discharge port on the first guide plate 75 is connected to the storage tray 72. The discharge end of the conveyor 4 is connected to the medicine bottle support mechanism 8, which can effectively transport the qualified medicine bottles backward to the next process for support operation.

[0032] The second disc 61 feeds the medicine bottles with printing problems horizontally into the feeding end of the feeding screw 71. As the feeding screw 71 rotates and cooperates with the guiding of the arc-shaped baffle 73, the medicine bottles are gradually adjusted from a horizontal state to an upright state. Then, through the rotation and transportation of the first disc 74, the medicine bottles are sent from the discharge port of the first guide plate 75 to the storage tray 72 for centralized storage.

[0033] The device transfers the printed medicine bottles through the conveying and transporting mechanism 6, the feeding screw 71, the first flower disc 74 and other structures, so that they are turned from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The medicine bottles are placed upright for easier storage and subsequent transportation, and the medicine bottles with printing problems are stored in a centralized manner in the storage tray 72, which is more conducive to subsequent recycling and processing.

[0034] When the utility model is used, the medicine bottles conveyed on the conveyor 4 are printed on the bottle bodies by the printing mechanism and then conveyed backward, and successively pass through the positioning and sorting of the bottle arranging mechanism 2 and the height detection of the second detection mechanism 3; then through the visual detection of the first detection mechanism 5, the medicine bottles with qualified printing are sent to the medicine bottle palletizing mechanism 8 for palletizing through the discharge end of the conveyor, and the medicine bottles with printing problems are removed by the waste kicking mechanism and centrally stored in the storage tray 72, which is more conducive to subsequent recycling and treatment.
