Detailed implementation manners

[0024] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present utility model and the present utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment: Refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, a blood glucose test strip feeding and bottling device is involved, which is specifically used to realize the automatic feeding and bottling process of blood glucose test strips. Specifically, it includes a transfer unit 11. The transfer unit 11 is sequentially arranged in a clockwise direction in the circumferential direction with a bottle body feeding line 12 for conveying bottle bodies, a test strip feeding line 13 for conveying blood glucose test strips, a bottle cap conveying assembly 14 for conveying bottle caps, a spinning assembly 15 for combining and fixing the bottle caps and bottle bodies, and a finished product conveying line 16. The finished product conveying line 16 is used to convey the spun bottle bodies to the next process.

[0026] The described transfer unit 11 drives the bottle body to be successively transferred from the bottle body feeding line 12 to the test strip discharge port of the test strip feeding line 13, the bottle cap discharge port of the bottle cap conveying assembly 14, the processing position of the spinning assembly 15, and the starting end of the finished product conveying line 16. In this embodiment, the bottle body feeding line 12 and the finished product conveying line 16 can both adopt existing material conveying lines such as belts and chain plates.

[0027] See Figure 2 , the described test strip feeding line 13 includes a conveyor belt 21 and a conveying motor 22 for driving the conveyor belt 21 to transport. Partition plates 23 are equidistantly arranged on the outer peripheral side of the conveyor belt. Partition areas 24 are formed between the partition plates 23. One test strip is placed in each partition area 24. An arc-shaped guide plate 25 is arranged at the discharge port of the test strip feeding line 13. Only when the partition area 24 rotates outside the arc-shaped guide plate 25 can the test strip fall from the discharge port. And a counter 26 for collecting the number of dropped test strips is arranged below the discharge port. The counter 26 in this embodiment can adopt a photoelectric counting sensor. Based on the photoelectric effect, it counts by emitting a light beam and detecting the reflection or occlusion situation. When a blood glucose test strip passes through the sensor, it occludes the light beam, and the sensor records one count. The conveyor belt ensures that the blood glucose test strips are discharged one by one and single by single through the partition area 24 design. Cooperating with the counter 26 for counting, when the number of discharged test strips reaches the storage quantity for a single bottle body, the conveying motor 22 stops driving. It starts after the transfer unit 11 transports the next empty bottle to the discharge port of the test strip feeding line 13. The utility model can solve problems such as low efficiency and inaccurate counting in traditional manual operations. By integrating functional modules such as the transfer unit 11, the bottle body feeding line 12, the test strip feeding line 13, the bottle cap conveying assembly 14, the spinning assembly 15, and the finished product conveying line 16, it realizes the full-process automated operation of the blood glucose test strip from blanking to bottling, significantly improving the production efficiency and product quality.

[0028] A hopper 34 is arranged below the test strip feeding line 13 in this embodiment. The hopper 34 adopts an open design with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part. The lower opening of the hopper 34 is aligned with the bottle mouth of the bottle body. This structure can effectively guide and collect the test strips, enabling the test strips output from the discharge port of the test strip feeding line 13 to accurately slide down along the inner wall of the hopper 34 into the bottle body, preventing the test strips from being scattered on the workbench and causing waste.

[0029] This device further includes a workbench 35. The test strip conveying line is obliquely arranged on the workbench 35. The oblique arrangement design helps to make full use of the gravity during the conveying process, ensuring that the test strips can smoothly move along the conveying line, while reducing the conveying resistance and avoiding the phenomenon of test strip jamming or accumulation.

[0030] See Figure 3, the transfer unit 11 adopts the indexing turntable 3 structure. An indexing plate 31 is rotatably arranged above the indexing turntable 3. The indexing plate 31 can be driven to rotate by electric, pneumatic and other means. In this embodiment, a plurality of (6 in this embodiment) bottle body fixing positions 32 are evenly arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the indexing plate 31 for stably fixing the bottle body during the conveying process. The design of the bottle body fixing position 32 ensures that each bottle body can be accurately fixed at the specified position during the transfer process, avoiding unstable situations such as tilting and moving of the bottle body during the transfer process. A limiting baffle 33 is arranged outside the indexing plate 31 to further ensure that the bottle body will not shift in position during the rotation of the turntable, especially to maintain the stability of the bottle body during multiple-step operations (such as test strip bottling, bottle cap installation and spinning, etc.).

[0031] See Figure 4 , the bottle cap conveying assembly 14 includes a storage bin 41 vertically arranged on the workbench. The storage bin 41 is designed with a structure that is vertically through. Multiple groups of bottle caps are stacked in the storage bin 41. This design can store a large amount of bottle caps to ensure the continuous supply of bottle caps during the production process. A bottom plate 42 is arranged below the storage bin 41. The lowermost bottle cap contacts the bottom plate 42 to ensure that the bottle cap can move downward smoothly. The distance between the bottom of the storage bin 41 and the bottom plate 42 is the same as the thickness of the bottle cap. Such a distance design can ensure that each pushed bottle cap is a single bottle cap, avoiding the problem of multiple bottle caps falling at the same time. In addition, a push block 43 is arranged on one side of the bottom plate 42. The push block 43 is driven by a push cap cylinder 44. The push cap cylinder 44 pushes the bottle cap from the storage bin 41 to the bottle mouth of the bottle body through the push block 43.

[0032] See Figure 5 , the spinning assembly 15 includes a spinning base plate 51. The spinning base plate 51 is connected and fixed to the workbench through legs 52 to ensure the stability and structural support of the entire spinning mechanism. Four vertical columns 53 are vertically arranged above the base plate. The columns 53 serve as a support structure and provide a sliding track for the up and down movement of the spinning assembly 15. A lifting plate 54 is slidably connected to the columns 53. The lifting plate 54 can move up and down along the columns 53 to perform the pressing operation on the bottle cap.

[0033] The movement of the lifting plate 54 is driven by a capping cylinder 55. The capping cylinder 55 pushes the lifting plate 54 to move up and down. The capping cylinder 55 is installed on a cylinder mounting plate 56. The cylinder mounting plate 56 is fixed at the top of the four columns 53 to ensure the stability of the cylinder during operation. A spinning disc component 6 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 54. The spinning disc component 6 is used to perform a rotary pressing operation on the bottle cap already placed on the bottle body to ensure the tight combination of the bottle cap and the bottle body.

[0034] With this structural design, the spinning assembly 15 can efficiently complete the spinning action of the bottle cap. The capping cylinder 55 drives the lifting plate 54 to move up and down, enabling the spinning disc to accurately contact the bottle cap and apply appropriate pressure to complete the spinning. This design not only ensures the stable assembly of the bottle cap but also, through the control of the capping cylinder 55, realizes an automated and precise bottle cap spinning process, thereby improving production efficiency and ensuring the stability of the bottling quality.

[0035] See Figure 6 , the spinning disc component 6 includes a rotating disc 61 and a disc motor 62 that drives the rotating disc 61 to rotate. The rotating disc 61 is the core component for applying a rotational force to the bottle cap and tightly pressing it onto the bottle body. To ensure the smoothness and adaptability during the spinning process, the rotating disc 61 is elastically connected to the output shaft of the disc motor 62 through a spring 63. Specifically, the elastic connection structure of the spring 63 can not only absorb excessive pressure that may occur during the spinning process to prevent damage to the bottle cap or bottle body due to uneven stress but also buffer the vibration generated when the rotating disc 61 rotates at high speed, ensuring the smoothness of the spinning process. The disc motor 62 drives the rotating disc 61 to perform a rotational operation, and the rotational torque of the disc motor 62 is transmitted to the rotating disc 61 through its motor shaft. The rotating disc 61 is suction - engaged with the bottle cap (negative pressure), thereby applying a rotational force to the bottle cap.

[0036] The above - described content in this specification is only an example of the present utility model. Those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods for substitution, as long as they do not deviate from the content of this specification of the present utility model or exceed the scope defined by this claims, they should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
