Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of transportation technology, and in particular to a transportation device for pharmaceutical use. Background Art

[0002] During the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, quality inspectors play a crucial role in the inspection of drug packaging. Damage to the packaging box may not only lead to drug contamination but also affect the shelf life and efficacy of the drug, thus posing a potential threat to the health of patients. If the quality inspector discovers damage to the packaging of the medicine box (including the packaging box and the tin foil paper inside the packaging box, and the tin foil paper is used to wrap the medicine), these damaged medicine boxes will be immediately discarded into the waste bin for disposal. And the medicine boxes that pass the inspection will be placed on the conveyor belt and transported into the finished product collection container.

[0003] However, when the qualified medicine boxes are placed on the conveyor belt and flow towards the finished product container, it is impossible to count in real time the number of medicine boxes falling into the finished product collection container according to the needs of the operator. This lack of an accurate method for counting the quantity leads to certain difficulties in subsequent drug management and distribution, unable to meet the operator's requirements for accurate data, and affecting the efficiency of the overall pharmaceutical process.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a transportation device for pharmaceutical use, which can not only automatically transport the qualified medicine boxes to the container but also accurately calculate and record in real time the number of medicine boxes falling into the finished product container for each batch. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and propose a transportation device for pharmaceutical use to solve the problem of being unable to count in real time the number of medicine boxes falling into the finished product container according to the needs of the operator.

[0006] The present application is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present application proposes a transportation device for pharmaceutical use, including a first conveyor belt, quality inspection stations and waste bins provided on both sides of the first conveyor belt. The transportation device for pharmaceutical use further includes:

[0008] A confluence channel is provided at one end of the first conveyor belt for transporting medicine boxes. The width of the confluence channel is greater than or equal to the width of the medicine box, and the width of the confluence channel is less than the length of the medicine box. The height of the medicine box is placed vertically. A plurality of medicine boxes are arranged in sequence at zero intervals along the conveyor belt and enter the confluence channel, and the width of the medicine box faces the entrance of the confluence channel and matches the width of the confluence channel.

[0009] The metering and conveying mechanism is arranged in the confluence channel. The metering and conveying mechanism includes a pressing conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt. The pressing conveyor belt is arranged above the second conveyor belt. The shortest distance between the pressing conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt is the same as the height of the medicine box. The second conveyor belt transports a plurality of medicine boxes arranged in zero-spacing in sequence. The pressing conveyor belt measures the number of medicine boxes passing through by its rotation stroke.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present application, the transportation device for pharmaceutical use further includes a frame body, and the confluence channel, the pressing conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt are all arranged on the frame body.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present application, the pressing conveyor belt includes:

[0012] A fixing member, arranged on the frame body and located above the second conveyor belt;

[0013] A driving member, arranged on the fixing member;

[0014] A transmission assembly, in transmission connection with the driving member, and the driving member can drive the transmission assembly to rotate;

[0015] A distance adjusting assembly, arranged on the fixing member and movably connected with the transmission assembly, and the distance adjusting assembly can adjust the shortest distance between the transmission assembly and the second conveyor belt.

[0016] In an embodiment of the present application, the transmission assembly includes:

[0017] A driving wheel, connected to the rotating shaft of the driving member;

[0018] A driven wheel, radially arranged on one side of the radial direction of the driving wheel;

[0019] A crawler belt, surrounding the driving wheel and the driven wheel;

[0020] A positioning plate, arranged on both sides of the driving wheel and the driven wheel to fix the distance between the driving wheel and the driven wheel;

[0021] The transmission assembly can rotate at one end of the driven wheel to adjust the shortest distance between the transmission assembly and the second conveyor belt.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present application, the distance adjusting assembly includes:

[0023] A connecting member, fixedly connected with the fixing member, and the connecting member is provided with an opening groove;

[0024] A screw hook, one end of which is hooked to the positioning plate, and the other end is arranged in the opening groove;

[0025] The ring piece is threadedly connected to the screw rod. The diameter of the ring piece is larger than the caliber of the opening groove. The ring piece is arranged on the side of the opening groove away from the positioning plate, and the ring piece abuts against the connecting piece at the opening groove. By rotating the ring piece, the screw rod hook is driven to move towards the conveying assembly, so as to adjust the shortest distance between the conveying assembly and the second conveyor belt.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, the metering and conveying mechanism further includes a main control board, which is electrically connected to the driving member and the second conveyor belt. The main control board can control the second conveyor belt and the pressing conveyor belt to rotate simultaneously, and measure the number of medicine boxes passing through according to the rotation stroke of the driving member.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, the metering and conveying mechanism further includes a display screen, which is electrically connected to the main control board. The display screen can display the number of times of the rotation stroke of the driving member to measure the number of medicine boxes passing through the pressing conveyor belt.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, the pharmaceutical transportation device further includes a confluence area, which is located between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt; the width of one end of the confluence area is equal to the width of the first conveyor belt, and the width of the other end is matched with the width of the second conveyor belt. The width of the confluence area gradually becomes narrower along the direction towards the second conveyor belt.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, the pharmaceutical transportation device further includes a container, which is arranged at one end of the confluence channel away from the first conveyor belt. The container is used to collect the medicine boxes transported on the confluence channel.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present application, a falling channel is arranged at one end of the confluence channel away from the conveyor belt. The medicine boxes on the confluence channel fall into the falling channel after passing through the pressing conveyor belt, and the container collects the medicine boxes falling from the falling channel.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0032] Multiple medicine boxes are arranged in sequence with zero spacing along the first conveyor belt and enter the confluence channel. Since the width of the confluence channel is greater than or equal to the width of the medicine box and less than the length of the medicine box, the medicine box must enter in a way that its width faces the entrance of the confluence channel, so as to ensure the correct positioning and arrangement of the medicine box during transportation and avoid blockage and misordering. The pressing conveyor belt is arranged above the second conveyor belt, and the shortest distance between the pressing conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt is the same as the height of the medicine box, and the height of the medicine box is placed vertically. The second conveyor belt transports multiple medicine boxes in continuous arrangement with zero spacing, ensuring the dense and orderly arrangement of the medicine boxes. The length direction of the medicine box is the same as the extending direction of the confluence channel, and the height surface of the medicine box contacts the pressing conveyor belt. In this way, the length of each medicine box can be measured as one medicine box. By measuring the rotation stroke of the pressing conveyor belt, that is, the rotation stroke of the pressing conveyor belt for the length of one medicine box, it means one medicine box has passed through the pressing conveyor belt, and the number of medicine boxes passing through the pressing conveyor belt is measured. The operator can then count the number of medicine boxes passing through the pressing conveyor belt in real time according to the rotation stroke of the pressing conveyor belt.

[0033] Other features and advantages of the present application will be described in the subsequent specification, and, in part, will be obvious from the specification, or will be understood by implementing the present application. The objectives and other advantages of the present application can be achieved and obtained through the structures pointed out in the specification, claims, and drawings.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , this application provides a transportation device 10 for pharmaceutical use, including a first conveyor belt 100, quality inspection stations 200 and waste bins 300 provided on both sides of the first conveyor belt 100. The transportation device 10 for pharmaceutical use further includes a confluence channel 500 and a metering and conveying mechanism (not marked in the figure). The confluence channel 500 is provided at one end of the first conveyor belt 100 for transporting medicine boxes. The width of the confluence channel 500 is greater than or equal to the width of the medicine box, and the width of the confluence channel 500 is less than the length of the medicine box. The height of the medicine box is placed in the vertical direction. A plurality of medicine boxes are arranged in sequence with zero spacing along the conveyor belt and enter the confluence channel 500, and the width of the medicine box faces the entrance of the confluence channel 500 to match the width of the channel. The metering and conveying mechanism is provided in the confluence channel 500. The metering and conveying mechanism includes a pressing conveyor belt 410 and a second conveyor belt 420. The pressing conveyor belt 410 is provided above the second conveyor belt 420. The shortest distance between the pressing conveyor belt 410 and the second conveyor belt 420 is the same as the height of the medicine box. The second conveyor belt 420 transports a plurality of medicine boxes arranged in sequence with zero spacing. The pressing conveyor belt 410 measures the number of medicine boxes passing through by its rotation stroke.

[0048] Specifically, quality inspection stations 200 and waste bins 300 are equipped on both sides of the first conveyor belt 100. Quality inspectors conduct real-time quality inspections during the transportation of medicine boxes. Once a damaged medicine box packaging is detected, it is immediately removed and placed into the waste bin 300. This ensures that only medicine boxes meeting the standards can enter the subsequent processing procedures, thus safeguarding the quality and safety of medicines. The medicine box must be a cuboid. The width of the confluence channel 500 is greater than or equal to the width of the medicine box, and the width of the confluence channel 500 is less than the length of the medicine box. The height of the medicine box is placed vertically. Multiple medicine boxes are arranged in sequence with zero spacing along the first conveyor belt 100 and enter the confluence channel 500, and the width of the medicine box faces the entrance of the confluence channel 500, matching the width of the confluence channel 500, so that the medicine box must enter in a way that its width faces the entrance of the confluence channel 500, thereby ensuring the correct positioning and arrangement of the medicine box during transportation and avoiding blockage and incorrect sorting. The pressing conveyor belt 410 is arranged above the second conveyor belt 420. The shortest distance between the pressing conveyor belt 410 and the second conveyor belt 420 is the same as the height of the medicine box. The second conveyor belt 420 is responsible for transporting multiple medicine boxes in a continuously arranged manner with zero spacing, ensuring the dense and orderly arrangement of the medicine boxes (the first conveyor belt 100 transports medicine boxes continuously, while the second conveyor belt 420 does not transport medicine boxes continuously all the time. In this way, the medicine boxes transported by the first conveyor belt 100 will squeeze into the confluence channel 500, and when the second conveyor belt 420 starts to transport, multiple medicine boxes are continuously arranged with zero spacing. At this time, the second conveyor belt 420 can transport multiple medicine boxes in a continuously arranged manner with zero spacing). The length direction of the medicine box is the same as the extending direction of the confluence channel 500, and the height surface of the medicine box contacts the pressing conveyor belt 410. In this way, the length of each medicine box can be measured as one medicine box. By measuring the rotation stroke of the pressing conveyor belt 410, that is, the rotation stroke of the pressing conveyor belt 410 for the length of one medicine box means that one medicine box has passed through the pressing conveyor belt 410, and the number of medicine boxes passing through the pressing conveyor belt 410 is measured. The operator can then count the number of medicine boxes passing through the pressing conveyor belt 410 in real time according to the rotation stroke of the pressing conveyor belt 410. By physically contacting the height surface of the medicine box with the pressing conveyor belt 410 and measuring the rotation stroke of the pressing conveyor belt 410, the accuracy of the measurement data is ensured, and errors that may be introduced by relying on visual or other indirect measurement methods are avoided.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , in an embodiment, the transportation device 10 for pharmaceutical use further includes a frame body 700, and the confluence channel 500, the pressing conveyor belt 410, and the second conveyor belt 420 are all arranged on the frame body 700.

[0050] Specifically, the frame body 700 provides a stable support and protection framework for the entire metering and conveying mechanism and the confluence channel 500.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4, in one embodiment, the pressing conveyor belt 410 includes a fixing member 411, a driving member (not labeled in the figure), a conveying assembly (not labeled in the figure), and a distance adjusting assembly (not labeled in the figure). The fixing member 411 is disposed on the frame 700 and is located above the second conveyor belt 420; the driving member is disposed on the fixing member 411; the conveying assembly is in transmission connection with the driving member, and the driving member can drive the conveying assembly to rotate; the distance adjusting assembly is disposed on the fixing member 411 and is movably connected to the conveying assembly, and the distance adjusting assembly can adjust the shortest distance between the conveying assembly and the second conveyor belt 420.

[0052] Specifically, the fixing member 411 is disposed on the frame 700 and is located above the second conveyor belt 420. Its main function is to provide a stable support platform for the driving member and the conveying assembly, ensuring the stability and accuracy of these components during operation. The driving member is a stepper motor, a servo motor or a brushless DC motor that can precisely control the rotation stroke. The driving member is disposed on the fixing member 411, and the driving member can drive the conveying assembly to rotate, and the number of medicine boxes passing through is measured by its rotation stroke; the distance adjusting assembly is disposed on the fixing member 411 and is movably connected to the conveying assembly, and the distance adjusting assembly can adjust the shortest distance between the conveying assembly and the second conveyor belt 420. By adjusting this shortest distance, medicine boxes of different heights can be adapted to ensure the stability and conveying efficiency of the medicine boxes during the conveying process. The shortest distance between the pressing conveyor belt 410 and the second conveyor belt 420 is made the same as the height of the medicine box. The design of the distance adjusting assembly enables the conveying device to adapt to medicine boxes of different sizes and heights, increasing the flexibility of the equipment. This is particularly important for modern pharmaceutical production with multiple varieties and small batches. When the medicine box passes by, the pressing conveyor belt 410 and the second conveyor belt 420 need to rotate simultaneously in order to pass through the pressing conveyor belt 410, and during the passing process, the number of medicine boxes passing through is measured by the rotation stroke of the pressing conveyor belt 410.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , in one embodiment, the conveying assembly includes a driving wheel 413, a driven wheel 414, a crawler 415, and a positioning plate 416. The driving wheel 413 is connected to the rotating shaft of the driving member; the radial direction of the driven wheel 414 is disposed on one side of the radial direction of the driving wheel 413; the crawler 415 is wound around the driving wheel 413 and the driven wheel 414; the positioning plate 416 is disposed on both sides of the driving wheel 413 and the driven wheel 414 to fix the distance between the driving wheel 413 and the driven wheel 414; the conveying assembly can rotate at one end of the driven wheel 414 to adjust the shortest distance between the conveying assembly and the second conveyor belt 420.

[0054] Specifically, the driving wheel 413 is connected to the rotating shaft of the driving member and is responsible for providing power. The driven wheel 414 is radially disposed on one side of the driving wheel 413. The track 415 surrounds the driving wheel 413 and the driven wheel 414 and is the part that directly contacts the medicine box and transports the medicine box. The design of the track 415 ensures that the medicine box can move stably during transportation, reducing the friction and collision between medicine boxes. The positioning plates 416 are disposed on both sides of the driving wheel 413 and the driven wheel 414 to fix the distance between the driving wheel 413 and the driven wheel 414 and maintain a constant distance. The positioning plates 416 help to ensure the tension of the track 415 and the straightness of the conveyor belt. The conveying assembly can rotate at one end of the driven wheel 414 to adjust the shortest distance between the conveying assembly and the second conveyor belt 420. This adjustment ability allows the equipment operator to quickly and easily configure changes according to medicine boxes of different heights.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , in an embodiment, the distance adjustment assembly includes a connecting member 417, a lead screw hook 418, and a ring plate 419. The connecting member 417 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 411, and the connecting member 417 is provided with an opening groove 4171; one end of the lead screw hook 418 is hooked to the positioning plate 416, and the other end is disposed in the opening groove 4171; the ring plate 419 is threadedly connected to the lead screw hook 418, the diameter of the ring plate 419 is larger than the caliber of the opening groove 4171, the ring plate 419 is disposed on the side of the opening groove 4171 away from the positioning plate 416, and the ring plate 419 abuts against the connecting member 417 at the opening groove 4171. By rotating the ring plate 419, the lead screw hook 418 is driven to move towards the conveying assembly to achieve adjustment of the shortest distance between the conveying assembly and the second conveyor belt 420.

[0056] Specifically, one end of the lead screw hook 418 is hooked to the positioning plate 416, and the other end is disposed in the opening groove 4171. The design of the opening groove 4171 is to accommodate and guide the movement of the lead screw hook 418 to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of the adjustment action. The ring plate 419 is threadedly connected to the lead screw hook 418 and is designed such that its diameter is larger than the caliber of the opening groove 4171. The ring plate 419 is located on the side of the opening groove 4171 away from the positioning plate 416. When the ring plate 419 rotates, the lead screw hook 418 is driven to move through the threaded connection, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the shortest distance between the track 415 and the second conveyor belt 420.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 , in an embodiment, the metering and conveying mechanism further includes a main control board 430. The main control board 430 is electrically connected to the driving member and the second conveyor belt 420. The main control board 430 can control the second conveyor belt 420 and the pressing conveyor belt 410 to rotate simultaneously, and can measure the number of medicine boxes passing by according to the rotation stroke of the driving member.

[0058] Specifically, the main control board 430 is electrically connected to the driving member and the second conveyor belt 420 to control the operation of the entire system. The main control board 430 can synchronously control the movements of the second conveyor belt 420 and the pressing conveyor belt 410 to ensure their coordination and accuracy. The main control board 430 uses the rotation stroke of the driving member to count the number of medicine boxes passing through. By recording the rotation stroke, the main control board 430 can accurately count the number of medicine boxes passing through the conveying system, which is extremely important for production control and quality supervision.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , in an embodiment, the metering and conveying mechanism further includes a display screen 440. The display screen 440 is electrically connected to the main control board 430, and the display screen 440 can display the number of times of the rotation stroke of the driving member to count the number of medicine boxes passing through the pressing conveyor belt 410.

[0060] Specifically, the display screen 440 is electrically connected to the main control board 430 and can display the number of times of the rotation stroke of the driving member in real time. These stroke times are directly related to the number of medicine boxes passing through the pressing conveyor belt 410, improving the visualization level of the data and providing an intuitive data display for the operator.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 , in an embodiment, the pharmaceutical transportation device 10 further includes a confluence area 800. The confluence area 800 is located between the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 420; one end of the confluence area 800 has the same width as the first conveyor belt 100, and the other end has a width matching that of the second conveyor belt 420. The width of the confluence area 800 gradually narrows along the direction towards the second conveyor belt 420.

[0062] Specifically, the width of the confluence area 800 gradually narrows along the direction towards the second conveyor belt 420, aiming to smoothly guide the medicine boxes conveyed from the first conveyor belt 100 to transition to the second conveyor belt 420, so that the medicine boxes can smoothly transition from the wider first conveyor belt 100 to the relatively narrower second conveyor belt 420 during the movement. The gradually narrowing characteristic of the confluence area 800 helps to properly align and sort the medicine boxes. In addition, the width of the medicine box faces the entrance of the confluence channel 500 and matches the width of the confluence channel 500.

[0063] In an embodiment, the pharmaceutical transportation device 10 further includes a container (not marked in the figure). The container is provided at one end of the confluence channel 500 away from the first conveyor belt 100, and the container is used to collect the medicine boxes transported on the confluence channel 500.

[0064] Specifically, the container is located at one end of the confluence channel 500 away from the first conveyor belt 100 and can collect the medicine boxes adjusted and aligned by the confluence area 800, reducing the moving distance of the medicine boxes during the conveying process.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 , in one embodiment, a falling channel 600 is provided at one end of the confluence channel 500 away from the conveyor belt. The medicine boxes on the confluence channel 500 fall into the falling channel 600 after pressing the conveyor belt 410, and the containers collect the medicine boxes falling from the falling channel 600.

[0066] Specifically, the falling channel 600 is located at one end of the confluence channel 500 away from the first conveyor belt 100 and is the path for the medicine boxes to fall from the pressing conveyor belt 410. The containers are located directly below the falling channel 600 and are used to collect the medicine boxes falling from the channel.
