Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of acupuncture needle production, in particular to an automatic detection and waste discharging system for acupuncture needles. Background Art

[0002] An acupuncture needle is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment instrument. Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, the acupuncture needle is inserted into the patient's body at a certain angle, and acupuncture techniques such as twirling and lifting-thrusting are used to stimulate specific parts of the human body to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. With the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine, the application of acupuncture needles is increasing, and the demand for acupuncture needle products is also increasing. Therefore, high-efficiency and high-quality production and packaging of acupuncture needles are required. In the technical field of acupuncture needle production, an acupuncture needle packaging machine is mostly used for automatic packaging of acupuncture needles. However, during the implementation of the present utility model by the applicant, it is found that there are at least the following technical problems during the packaging by the packaging machine:

[0003] 1. During the packaging production of acupuncture needles, there are defective problems such as missing needles, clamped needles, and multiple needles in the finished products produced by the packaging machine. Such abnormalities account for about 80% among all defective types.

[0004] 2. The defective problem of clamped needles will damage the packaging forming mold, and the cost of replacing the damaged mold is relatively high; for defective problems such as missing needles and multiple needles, visual inspection and rejection are required before the subsequent packaging. The fatigue intensity of the operators during long-term visual inspection is relatively high; the rejected defective products also need to be disassembled, with high operation intensity and increased production costs.

[0005] 3. Currently, the method of visual inspection by personnel is used for visual inspection operations before packaging, and corresponding operations are carried out manually, with relatively high operation intensity.

[0006] In view of this, how to solve at least one problem existing in the prior art has become the subject to be studied and solved by the present utility model. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an automatic detection and waste discharging system for acupuncture needles.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model provides an automatic detection and waste discharging system for acupuncture needles, which is used for automatic detection and waste discharging before the packaging operation of acupuncture needle products. The automatic detection and waste discharging system includes:

[0009] A flow frequency, along the product conveying direction of the flow frequency, a detection station and a waste discharging station are sequentially arranged.

[0010] A detection mechanism, the detection mechanism is arranged at the detection station, and the products conveyed by the flow frequency are detected by the detection mechanism and a signal of detected defective products is output.

[0011] Waste discharging mechanism, the waste discharging mechanism is arranged at the waste discharging station. The waste rejecting mechanism includes a controller, a waste discharging acting part, and a waste discharging container. The controller is electrically connected to the detection mechanism and the waste discharging acting part. The controller obtains the signal of detecting defective products sent by the detection mechanism, and the waste discharging acting part selectively transfers the defective products conveyed by the flow frequency to the waste discharging container.

[0012] The relevant content of the present utility model is explained as follows:

[0013] 1. In the above technical solution of the present utility model, mainly by setting a detection station and a waste discharging station on the flow frequency before the packaging operation of the acupuncture needle products, setting a detection mechanism at the detection station, and setting a waste discharging mechanism at the waste discharging station. The detection mechanism detects the products conveyed by the flow frequency and outputs a signal of detecting defective products. After the controller obtains the signal of detecting defective products sent by the detection mechanism, the waste discharging acting part selectively transfers the defective products conveyed by the flow frequency to the waste discharging container, so as to complete the operation purposes of automatic detection and automatic waste discharging, so that the defective products in the subsequent acupuncture needle packaging machine can be removed, avoiding defective products in the packaged and formed products, protecting the blister forming die from damage, reducing the outflow of defective products, thereby improving the efficiency and yield rate of acupuncture needle packaging. Since the yield rate is high, the secondary needle removing operation of personnel can be reduced, the existing operation process can be optimized, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced, the production cost can be reduced, and the product yield rate and quality can be improved.

[0014] 2. In the above technical solution, the detection mechanism is one of a visual detection mechanism, a grating detection mechanism, and a height detection mechanism, so as to meet the application of different defective product detection means and standards and improve the applicability.

[0015] 3. In the above technical solution, the detection mechanism is a visual detection mechanism. The detection mechanism includes a camera support, and an industrial camera straddling the flow frequency is arranged on the camera support. The industrial camera is directly above the detection station. The automatic visual detection of defective problems such as fewer needles, clamped needles, and more needles is carried out by this visual detection mechanism. The solution is mature and accurate.

[0016] 4. In the above technical solution, the waste discharge function part is in the form of a roller, connected to a rotation drive module, and driven to rotate by the rotation drive module. An adsorption / magnetic attraction is provided on one circumferential side of the roller-shaped waste discharge function part. The automatic detection and waste discharge system is arranged such that, after the controller obtains a defective product detection signal from the detection mechanism, the adsorption / magnetic attraction of the waste discharge function part is rotated to at least a position below and close to the flow channel. The adsorption / magnetic attraction located at the bottom attracts / magnetizes defective products transported by the flow channel. The rotation drive module drives the waste discharge function part to rotate to a position corresponding to the waste discharge container, releasing the adsorption / magnetic attraction of the defective products and transferring them to the waste discharge container. This solution provides a reliable and stable method for discharging defective products.

[0017] 5. In the above technical solution, a plurality of magnetic suction parts are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller-shaped waste discharge part, and magnets are provided on the magnetic suction parts. The waste discharge part is provided on a mounting frame, and the mounting frame is connected to a lifting module. The lifting module drives the waste discharge part on the mounting frame to rise and fall, so that the waste discharge part is close to or away from the flow frequency.

[0018] 6. In the above technical solution, the lifting module is installed on a lifting bracket, and a slide rail is provided on the lifting bracket. The mounting frame reciprocates up and down along the slide rail through a slider, so that the waste discharge part can selectively transfer defective products in the flow frequency to the waste discharge container, and the structure is reliable and stable.

[0019] 7. In the above technical solution, the lifting module includes a rotating motor, a connecting wheel, and a fisheye connecting rod. The output shaft of the rotating motor is connected to the connecting wheel. The first end of the fisheye connecting rod is connected to the eccentric position of the connecting wheel. The first end of the fisheye connecting rod is connected to the mounting frame. The above structure is simple and reliable, and does not take up too much space. The waste discharge part on the mounting frame can be quickly moved close to or away from the flow frequency.

[0020] 8. In the above technical solution, a plurality of magnetic attraction parts are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller-shaped waste discharge part, and an electromagnet is provided on the magnetic attraction part. The electromagnet is connected to an electromagnetic switch, and the electromagnetic switch controls the presence or absence of magnetism of the electromagnet, thereby providing a technical support for the function of selectively transferring defective products by the waste discharge part.

[0021] 9. In the above technical solution, the automatic detection and waste discharge system also includes a release transition plate, which is arranged between the waste discharge action part and the waste discharge container. The release transition plate acts on the defective products adsorbed / magnetically attracted by the waste discharge action part, and the defective products slide into the waste discharge container through the release transition plate. When the waste discharge action part is a permanent magnet, the position of the release transition plate is slightly higher. When the waste discharge action part is lifted to the position where it cooperates with the release transition plate, the release transition plate scrapes off the defective product acupuncture needles on the rotating waste discharge action part. When the waste discharge action part is lowered to close to the flow frequency, the release transition plate does not act or cooperate with the waste discharge action part.

[0022] 10. In the above technical solution, the release transition plate has a guide inclined surface inclined in the product conveying direction, and the waste discharge container is located below the guide inclined surface. The waste discharge container has an opening that is open upward toward at least one side of the guide inclined surface, so as to better allow the defective acupuncture needles that are transferred over to fall into the waste discharge container.

[0023] 11. In the above technical solution, the automatic detection and waste discharge system also includes a machine, and the flow frequency, detection mechanism, and waste discharge mechanism are all mounted on the machine, with a compact structure and easy assembly and maintenance.

[0024] 12. In the above technical solution, the flow frequency is a conveying line used to carry acupuncture needles.

[0052] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present application is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0053] The present utility model aims to solve the problems of missing needles, clamped needles, multiple needles and other defects in the packaging of acupuncture needles, and innovatively designs an automatic detection and waste discharging system for acupuncture needles, which is used for automatic detection and waste discharging before the packaging operation of acupuncture needle products.

[0054] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model discloses an automatic detection and waste discharging system for acupuncture needles, which is used for automatic detection and automatic waste discharging before the packaging operation of acupuncture needle products. The automatic detection and waste discharging system includes a flow frequency 1, a detection mechanism 2, and a waste discharging mechanism 3.

[0055] For the flow frequency 1, a detection station 11 and a waste discharging station 12 are sequentially arranged along the product conveying direction of the flow frequency 1.

[0056] The inspection mechanism 2 is arranged on the inspection station 11. The inspection mechanism 2 inspects the products conveyed by the flow frequency 1 and outputs a signal indicating defective products detected.

[0057] The waste discharging mechanism 3 is arranged on the waste discharging station 12. The waste discharging mechanism includes a controller, a waste discharging action part 31, and a waste discharging container 32. The controller is electrically connected to the inspection mechanism 2 and the waste discharging action part 31. The controller obtains the signal of defective products detected by the inspection mechanism 2, and the waste discharging action part 31 selectively transfers the defective products conveyed by the flow frequency 1 into the waste discharging container 32.

[0058] Through the implementation of the embodiments of the present utility model, mainly by setting an inspection station 11 and a waste discharging station 12 on the flow frequency 1 before the packaging operation of acupuncture needle products, arranging an inspection mechanism 2 at the inspection station 11, and arranging a waste discharging mechanism 3 at the waste discharging station 12. The inspection mechanism 2 inspects the products conveyed by the flow frequency 1 and outputs a signal indicating defective products detected. After the controller obtains the signal of defective products detected by the inspection mechanism 2, the waste discharging action part 31 selectively transfers the defective products conveyed by the flow frequency 1 into the waste discharging container 32, so as to achieve the operation purpose of automatic inspection and automatic waste discharging, so that the defective products in the subsequent acupuncture needle packaging machine can be removed, avoiding defective products in the packaged and formed products, protecting the blister forming die from damage, reducing the outflow of defective products, thereby improving the efficiency and yield of acupuncture needle packaging. Since the yield is high, the secondary needle removal operation of personnel can be reduced, the existing operation process can be optimized, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced, the production cost can be reduced, and the product yield and quality can be improved.

[0059] In the above embodiment of the present utility model, the inspection mechanism 2 is one of a visual inspection mechanism 2, a grating inspection mechanism 2, and a height inspection mechanism 2, so as to meet the application of different inspection means and standards for defective products and improve the applicability.

[0060] In the above embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, the inspection mechanism 2 is a visual inspection mechanism 2. The inspection mechanism 2 includes a camera support 21. An industrial camera 22 is arranged across the flow frequency 1 on the camera support 21. The industrial camera 22 is directly above the inspection station 11. The visual inspection mechanism 2 is used to automatically visually inspect defective problems such as missing needles, clamped needles, and multiple needles. The solution is mature and accurate.

[0061] In the above embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 7As shown, the waste discharging function part 31 is in the shape of a drum. The waste discharging function part 31 is connected to the rotation driving module 33, and the rotation driving module 33 drives the waste discharging function part 31 to rotate. An adsorption part / magnetic attraction part 311 is arranged on one circumferential side of the drum-shaped waste discharging function part 31. The automatic detection and waste discharging system is arranged such that after the controller obtains the defective product signal sent by the detection mechanism 2, the adsorption part / magnetic attraction part 311 of the waste discharging function part 31 is at least rotated to a position at the lower part and close to the flow frequency 1. The defective products conveyed by the flow frequency 1 are adsorbed / magnetically attracted by the adsorption part / magnetic attraction part 311 at the lower part. Then, the rotation driving module 33 drives the waste discharging function part 31 to rotate to a position corresponding to the waste discharging container 32, and then the adsorption / magnetic attraction of the defective products is released, so as to transfer the defective products into the waste discharging container 32. With this solution, the waste discharging operation for defective products is reliable and stable.

[0062] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 7 shown, a plurality of magnetic attraction parts 311 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the drum-shaped waste discharging function part 31. Magnets are arranged on the magnetic attraction parts 311. The waste discharging function part 31 is arranged on a mounting frame 34, and the mounting frame 34 is connected to the lifting module 35. The lifting module 35 drives the waste discharging function part 31 on the mounting frame 34 to lift, so that the waste discharging function part 31 is close to or far from the flow frequency 1.

[0063] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, the lifting module 35 is installed on a lifting support 36. A slide rail 361 is arranged on the lifting support 36. The mounting frame 34 reciprocates up and down along the slide rail 361 through a slider, so as to selectively transfer the defective products in the flow frequency 1 to the waste discharging container 32 by the waste discharging function part 31. The structure is reliable and stable.

[0064] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, the lifting module 35 includes a rotating motor 351, a connecting wheel 352, and a fish-eye connecting rod 353. The output shaft of the rotating motor 351 is connected to the connecting wheel 352. The first end of the fish-eye connecting rod 353 is connected to an eccentric position of the connecting wheel 352, and the first end of the fish-eye connecting rod 353 is connected to the mounting frame 34. The above structure is simple and reliable, and does not occupy too much space, and can quickly move the waste discharging function part 31 on the mounting frame 34 close to or far from the flow frequency 1.

[0065] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of magnetic attraction portions 311 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller-shaped waste discharge portion 31, and an electromagnet is provided on the magnetic attraction portion 311. The electromagnet is connected to an electromagnetic switch, and the electromagnetic switch controls the presence or absence of magnetism of the electromagnet, thereby providing technical support for the function of selectively transferring defective products by the waste discharge portion 31.

[0066] In the above embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the automatic detection and waste discharge system also includes a release transition plate 4, which is arranged between the waste discharge function part 31 and the waste discharge container 32. The release transition plate 4 acts on the defective products adsorbed / magnetically attracted by the waste discharge function part 31, and the defective products slide into the waste discharge container 32 through the release transition plate 4. When the waste discharge function part 31 is a permanent magnet, the position of the release transition plate 4 is slightly higher. When the waste discharge function part 31 is lifted to the position of matching with the release transition plate 4, the release transition plate 4 scrapes off the defective product acupuncture needles on the rotating waste discharge function part 31. When the waste discharge function part 31 is lowered to close to the flow frequency 1, the release transition plate 4 does not act or match with the waste discharge function part 31.

[0067] Furthermore, the release transition plate 4 has a guide inclined surface 41 oblique to the product conveying direction, and the waste discharge container 32 is located below the guide inclined surface 41. The waste discharge container 32 has an opening that is open upward toward at least one side of the guide inclined surface 41, so as to better allow the defective acupuncture needles that are transferred over to fall into the waste discharge container 32.

[0068] In the above embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the automatic detection and waste discharge system further includes a machine 5, and the flow frequency 1, the detection mechanism 2, and the waste discharge mechanism 3 are all mounted on the machine 5, which has a compact structure and is easy to assemble and maintain.

[0069] The following is a detailed description of an embodiment.

[0070] In this detailed embodiment, the automatic detection and waste discharge system for acupuncture needles includes a machine platform 5, a conveyor belt 1, a detection mechanism 2, a waste discharge mechanism 3, and a release transition plate 4 mounted on the machine platform 5. The conveyor belt 1 is a belt conveyor line, and there are a detection station 11 for setting the detection mechanism 2 and a waste discharge station 12 for setting the waste discharge mechanism 3 on the conveyor belt 1. The detection mechanism 2 is a vision detection mechanism 2, which includes a camera bracket 21. An industrial camera 22 spanning across the conveyor belt 1 is arranged on the camera bracket 21, and the industrial camera 22 is directly above the detection station 11.

The controller is electrically connected to the detection mechanism 2 and the waste discharge action part 31. The controller obtains the signal of detecting defective products sent by the detection mechanism 2, and the waste discharge action part 31 selectively transfers the products conveyed by the conveyor belt 1 to the waste discharge container 32. The waste discharge action part 31 is arranged on a mounting frame 34, and the mounting frame 34 is installed above the waste discharge station 12. The waste discharge action part 31 is in a drum shape and is connected to a rotation drive module 33. The rotation drive module 33 drives the waste discharge action part 31 to rotate. A plurality of magnetic attraction parts 311 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the drum-shaped waste discharge action part 31, and magnets are arranged on the magnetic attraction parts 311. The mounting frame 34 is connected to a lifting module 35, and the lifting module 35 drives the waste discharge action part 31 on the mounting frame 34 to lift. The lifting module 35 is installed on a lifting bracket 36, and a slide rail 361 is arranged on the lifting bracket 36. The mounting frame 34 reciprocates up and down along the slide rail 361 through a slider. The lifting module 35 includes a rotary motor 351, a connecting wheel 352, and a fish-eye connecting rod 353.

The release transition plate 4 is installed on the mounting frame 34. The release transition plate 4 is arranged between the waste discharge action part 31 and the waste discharge container 32. The release transition plate 4 has an inclined guide surface 41 in the product conveying direction, and the waste discharge container 32 is located below the inclined guide surface 41.

[0071] The working process of this detailed embodiment can be referred to as follows:

[0072] 1. Multiple arranged acupuncture needles automatically transferred from the previous station enter the conveyor belt 1 of this automatic detection and waste discharge system.

[0073] 2. The conveyor belt 1 conveys the acupuncture needles to the detection station 11, and the industrial camera 22 above the detection station 11 takes images for vision detection. If defective products are detected, a signal of detecting defective products is output.
