[0031] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the attached drawings, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the following.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a vial flipping machine includes a support frame 1. A flipping device 2 for flipping vials is installed on the support frame 1. Feeding assemblies 3 for feeding vials are installed at both ends of the flipping device 2 on the support frame 1. The flipping device 2 includes a cylindrical fixed seat 21, a cylindrical driving block 22 and a plurality of flipping assemblies 4. The fixed seat 21 is installed on the top of the support frame 1. The plurality of flipping assemblies 4 are evenly installed on the driving block 22 along the circumferential direction of the driving block 22. The fixed seat 21 and the driving block 22 are coaxially arranged, and the radius of the driving block 22 is greater than the radius of the fixed seat 21. A driving assembly 5 for rotating the driving block 22 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 1; the vials to be flipped are placed on the feeding assembly 3. The feeding assembly 3 moves the vials to the position where the flipping assemblies 4 are located. The driving assembly 5 drives the driving block 22 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving block 22, the flipping assemblies 4 drive the vials to be flipped. The flipping device 2 can continuously flip the vials, improving the working efficiency of flipping vials and reducing manual intervention and operation range.

[0033] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the flipping assembly 4 includes a mounting base 41, a connecting shaft 42, and a support base 43. The connecting shaft 42 is passed through the driving block 22 and is rotatably connected to the driving block 22. The mounting base 41 is provided at the end of the connecting shaft 42, and the mounting base 41 is located between the driving block 22 and the fixed base 21. Flipping rods 44 are installed at both ends of the mounting base 41. A flipping groove 45 is formed in the fixed base 21, and a mounting rod 46 is installed on the fixed base 21. A limiting block 47 is installed at the end of the mounting rod 46 away from the fixed base 21. The limiting block 47 is located in the flipping groove 45. In this embodiment, the front view of the limiting block 47 is triangular. A gap with the same diameter as the flipping rod 44 is left between the limiting block 47 and the flipping groove 45. The flipping rod 44 is slidably installed between the flipping groove 45 and the limiting block 47. The support base 43 is installed at the end of the connecting rod away from the mounting base 41, and a clamping assembly 6 for clamping the vial is installed on the support base 43; when it is necessary to flip the vial, the clamping assembly 6 first clamps the vial, the driving assembly 5 drives the driving block 22 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving block 22, the connecting rod will be driven to move synchronously. During the movement of the connecting rod, the mounting base 41 and the support base will be driven to rotate synchronously. During the movement of the mounting base 41, the flipping rod 44 near the flipping groove 45 on the mounting base 41 will enter the flipping groove 45. Under the limitation of the limiting block 47, the other flipping rod 44 on the mounting base 41 will not enter the flipping groove 45 but move along the bottom of the limiting block 47. The flipping rod 44 located in the flipping groove 45 will drive the connecting rod to rotate on the driving block 22, so that the mounting base 41 and the support base 43 rotate. When the other flipping rod 44 moves from the bottom of the limiting block 47 to a position away from the flipping groove 45, the flipping rod 44 that has entered the flipping groove 45 will be able to slide out of the flipping groove 45, so that the mounting base 41 and the support base flip, and further the vial flips.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the clamping assembly 6 includes a cylinder 61, a driving rod 62, and a spring 63. Two sliding grooves 64 are formed on the support base 43. The two sliding grooves 64 are respectively located at both ends of the support base 43, and both sliding grooves 64 are inclined. The distance between the bottoms of the two sliding grooves 64 is smaller than the distance between the tops of the two sliding grooves 64. Clamping rods 65 are slidably installed in both sliding grooves 64. Both ends of the spring 63 are respectively connected to the two clamping rods 65. The cylinder 61 is installed on the top of the support base 43, the driving rod 62 is installed on the piston rod of the cylinder 61, and the driving rod 62 is slidably connected to the clamping rod 65. When it is necessary to clamp the vial, start the cylinder 61. The piston rod of the cylinder 61 extends in the direction away from the cylinder body. During the extension of the piston rod of the cylinder 61, it will drive the driving rod 62 to move. The top of the clamping rod 65 will also slide relative to the driving rod 62. During the movement of the driving rod 62, it will push the clamping rod 65 to move along the length direction of the sliding groove 64, so that the two clamping rods 65 move towards each other to facilitate clamping the vial. At this time, the spring 63 is compressed. When it is necessary to put the vial down between the two clamping rods 65, start the cylinder 61 again to make the piston rod of the cylinder 61 move in the direction towards the cylinder body, so that the driving rod 62 also moves in the direction towards the cylinder 61. The spring 63 itself will gradually return to its original length. Under the action of the spring 63, the two clamping rods 65 will be made to move away from each other, that is, the vial can be separated from the two clamping rods 65.

The fixing frame 52 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 1, the driving motor 51 is installed on the fixing frame 52, the connecting frame 53 is installed at the bottom of the driving block 22, and the connecting frame 53 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 51. When it is necessary to drive the driving block 22 to rotate, start the driving motor 51. During the rotation of the driving motor 51, it will drive the connecting frame 53 to rotate. During the rotation of the connecting frame 53, it will drive the driving block 22 to rotate. The fixing frame 52 plays a role of fixing and supporting the driving motor 51.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the feeding assembly 3 includes a conveyor belt 31, a turntable 32, and a rotating motor 33. The conveyor belt 31 is installed on the support frame 1.

The rotating motor 33 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 1, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 33 is connected to the turntable 32. A plurality of placement grooves 34 are evenly formed on the turntable 32. An arc-shaped baffle 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the support frame 1. The baffle 11 is coaxially arranged with the turntable 32, and the edge of the turntable 32 is slidably connected to the baffle 11. When the rotating motor 33 is started, the turntable 32 will be driven to rotate synchronously during the rotation of the rotating motor 33. The conveyor belt 31 continuously transports the vials to a position close to the turntable 32. When the vial contacts the turntable 32, the vial will enter the placement groove 34 on the turntable 32, and then the vial will be moved towards the driving block 22 and then clamped by the clamping assembly 6, so that the flipping assembly 4 can flip the vial. The feeding assembly 3 at the other end of the support frame 1 can transport the flipped vials to the next production process.

[0037] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a contact block 66 is installed at one end of the clamping rod 65 away from the chute 64, and an arc-shaped groove 67 is formed on the contact block 66. Since the vial is cylindrical, by forming the arc-shaped groove 67 on the contact block 66, the contact block 66 can better fit the body of the vial, thereby improving the stability of the vial during the flipping process.

[0038] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, limit plates 311 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 31, and the distance between the two limit plates 311 is the same as the diameter of the vial. Thus, the turntable 32 can move the vials one by one to a position close to the flipping assembly 4.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a flexible pad 68 is installed on the contact block 66. When the clamping assembly 6 clamps the vial, the flexible pad 68 can, to a certain extent, prevent the contact block 66 from damaging the outer wall of the vial and can protect the outer wall of the vial.

[0040] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Place the vials to be flipped on the feeding assembly 3. The feeding assembly 3 moves the vials to the position where the flipping assembly 4 is located. The driving assembly 5 drives the driving block 22 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving block 22, the flipping assembly 4 is driven to flip the vials. The flipping device 2 can continuously flip the vials, improving the working efficiency of flipping the vials and reducing human intervention and operation amplitude.
