[0028] This mechanism is used in cooperation with a robotic arm. After the nuclear medicine liquid is dispensed, the robotic arm clamps the vial above the lower light source assembly. After the robotic arm releases the gripper jaws, the clamping of the vial is released. The robotic arm then extends below the lower light source assembly and raises the lower light source assembly to move the vial to a designated position so that the clamping assembly can clamp the neck position of the vial. After the vial is clamped and rotated for a period of time, the rotation stops. Due to inertia, the nuclear medicine liquid in the vial will still rotate for a period of time. At this time, the camera assembly 1 will transmit the captured image to the server and identify foreign objects. After the identification is completed, the identification process belongs to the prior art and will not be elaborated here. The robotic arm raises the lower light source assembly again, moves to the position where the vial is located, the clamping assembly releases the vial, the vial returns to the lower light source assembly, and the robotic arm returns to its original position, completing one lamp inspection function.

These lights can help the camera assembly 1 capture the image inside the vial and detect possible impurities or other unqualified features in the nuclear medicine liquid by analyzing these images. Therefore, the role of the measuring light source assembly is to ensure the correct irradiation of light to support the accuracy and precision of the lamp inspection process.

[0032] The power assembly includes an adapter assembly, a valve plate mounting seat 16, a rotating support column 4, a power source 6, and a motor mounting seat 2; Adapter assembly: used to connect different components to achieve power transmission and coordinated operation; Valve plate mounting seat 16: connected to the three-jaw air chuck clip 5 of the clamping assembly, used to control the opening and closing of the three-jaw air chuck clip 5; Rotating support column 4: connects the valve plate mounting seat 16 and the motor mounting seat 2 to support and stabilize the movement of the assembly; Power source 6 and motor mounting seat 2: provide power and the driving force to control the movement of the three-jaw air chuck clip 5, and are connected to the valve plate mounting seat 16 through the diaphragm coupling 7 to ensure transmission efficiency and precise control; The power source 6 is connected to the lamp inspection vertical seat 8 through the motor mounting seat 2, which may be to provide the rotation or movement ability required during the lamp inspection process to comprehensively inspect the quality and integrity of the inner core liquid medicine in the vial.

[0033] This structure enables a high degree of automation in the nuclear medicine dispensing and lamp inspection processes, reduces the dependence on manual operations, and improves the accuracy and consistency of work; Through the cooperation of the robotic arm and the power assembly, the vial can be quickly and accurately sent to the lamp inspection position, thereby accelerating the production speed and the passing rate of products; The automated system reduces the chance of operators coming into contact with radioactive nuclear liquid medicine, improving safety and the quality of the working environment; The use of designs such as the rotating support column 4 ensures the stability and reliability of the entire system, reducing equipment failures and maintenance requirements during operation.

[0034] In summary, the design of this structure and components not only improves the efficiency and safety of the nuclear medicine dispensing equipment, but also makes the lamp inspection process more precise and controllable, meeting the requirements of modern pharmaceutical industry for automation and quality control.

The moving structure can move along the slider on the linear guide rail 14. The linear guide rail 14 is fixed on the lamp inspection upright seat 8, and the slider is connected to the linear guide rail 14. With this structure, the moving structure can accurately move along the specified track during the lamp inspection process. The adapter plate 9 connects the lower light source 15 and the slider to ensure that the lower light source 15 moves with the movement of the moving structure, maintaining the consistency and accuracy of the irradiation position.

[0042] The sensor 13 is installed on the lamp inspection upright seat 8 and is used to detect and monitor the position and status during the lamp inspection process to ensure the accuracy and safety of the operation.

[0043] The lower limit block 10 is located below the slider and is used to limit the lowest moving position of the slider to prevent the moving structure from exceeding the preset range.

[0044] In one embodiment, a power source can be connected to the lower light source adapter plate 9 to automatically drive the up and down movement of the lower light source 15, so that there is no need for a robotic arm to move the lower light source 15.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the camera assembly 1 is connected to one side of the lamp inspection upright seat 8 through the support assembly 12.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the camera assembly 1 includes a plurality of cameras, and the cameras are installed on the support assembly 12.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the support assembly 12 includes a cross plate and side plates. The cross plate is connected to the lamp inspection upright seat 8; the side plates are connected to one side of the cross plate, and the cameras are installed on the side plates.

[0048] It is installed on the side of the lamp inspection stand 8 and is used to capture images of the objects to be inspected (such as vials).

[0050] In summary, the combination of these designs and components enables the lamp inspection equipment to play an important role in the pharmaceutical industry, supporting high-quality product inspection and optimization of the production process.

[0051] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned power source 6 is, but not limited to, a servo motor.

[0052] After the nuclear medicine liquid is filled and divided, the robotic arm clamps the vial onto the stepped groove of the lower light source 15 and releases the clamping of the vial. Subsequently, the robotic arm moves below the lower light source 15 and is fixed to the slider of the linear guide rail 14 through the lower light source adapter plate 9. The robotic arm lifts the lower light source 15, raises the vial to the designated position, and then uses the three-jaw pneumatic gripper clip 5 to clamp the vial. Then, the robotic arm lowers the lower light source 15. At this time, the servo motor drives the clamped vial to rotate for a period of time through the diaphragm coupling 7 and the air distribution plate adapter assembly 3. After the rotation ends, due to inertia, the nuclear medicine liquid in the vial will continue to rotate. The camera captures the image and transmits it to the server for foreign object identification. After the identification is completed, the robotic arm lifts the lower light source 15 to the position of the vial again, and the three-jaw pneumatic gripper clip 5 releases, allowing the vial to return to the stepped groove of the lower light source 15. Finally, the robotic arm returns to its original position, completing one lamp inspection function.

[0053] The above-mentioned automatic lamp inspection mechanism is designed specifically for integration with nuclear medicine dispensing equipment and aims to automatically conduct lamp inspection on the nuclear medicine liquid that has been dispensed. Traditionally, customers had to manually observe the nuclear medicine liquid in the vials after each batch of dispensing to determine whether there were unqualified impurities, which not only greatly increased the workload of manual operation but also posed health risks due to exposure to nuclear radiation. Using this mechanism can significantly reduce these problems. It replaces manual visual inspection through an automated lamp inspection process, thus reducing the labor intensity of manual operation. At the same time, the mechanism is designed to protect operators from the risk of nuclear radiation and ensure that they work in a safe environment.

[0054] This mechanism not only improves the efficiency and consistency of the lamp inspection process but also reduces human errors and risks during operation. In summary, it not only simplifies the operation process but also has significant advantages in ensuring safety and improving efficiency, especially suitable for the nuclear medicine dispensing environment that requires high-standard lamp inspection.

[0055] The above-mentioned automatic lamp inspection mechanism for vials realizes automatic lamp inspection of vials by setting up a lamp inspection upright seat 8, a clamping component, a lower light source component, a side light source component 11, and a camera component 1, clamping and lighting the vials by using the clamping component and the lower light source component, and then automatically taking pictures by using the camera component 1, improving production efficiency and reducing the risk of personnel exposure to radioactivity.
