Medicine bottle unscrambler

Abstract

The utility model relates to a medicine bottle unscrambler which is composed of a machine table, a vibration feeding disc, a medicine bottle adjusting mechanism and a horizontal output mechanism. The disordered medicine bottles are input into the medicine bottle adjusting mechanism in the horizontal direction through the vibration feeding disc, when the bottom faces of the medicine bottles face a blocking rod of the medicine bottle adjusting mechanism, the medicine bottles can directly enter the vertical channel in the mode that the bottoms face downwards, and when the top faces of the medicine bottles face the blocking rod, the horizontal parts of the blocking rod can stretch into the medicine bottles from the top faces. Therefore, the medicine bottle enters the vertical channel in a mode that the bottom of the medicine bottle faces downwards. Therefore, when the medicine bottles fall onto the horizontal output mechanism, bottle openings face upwards all the time, and bottle bottoms face downwards all the time. The whole medicine bottle unscrambling machine has the advantages that manual intervention is not needed, and the bottle unscrambling accuracy is high.

[0052] Embodiment

[0053] This embodiment provides a medicine bottle arranging machine, as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0054] Machine table 1;

[0055] Vibrating feeding tray 2, arranged on the machine table 1, for storing medicine bottles and outputting the medicine bottles horizontally from the vibrating discharge port 21; The medicine bottles 9 are directly placed into the vibrating feeding tray 2 (there is no need to place the medicine bottles 9 in a specific direction), and the vibrating feeding tray 2 can vibrate, so that the medicine bottles 9 move along the inner wall of the vibrating feeding tray 2 and reach the vibrating discharge port 21; The vibrating discharge port 21 (asFigure 2 As shown in the figure, it is an existing device. The specific feeding structure and working principle of the vibrating feeding tray 2 will not be elaborated here. A cover 22 can also be provided above the vibrating feeding tray 2;

[0056] The vial adjusting mechanism 3, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 is arranged at the vibrating discharge port 21 and includes two side plates 31. There is a horizontal bottom surface 30 between the side plates 31. The horizontal bottom surface 30 is used to receive the vials 9 conveyed from the vibrating discharge port 21. An entrance of a vertical channel 33 is provided in the middle of the horizontal bottom surface 30. A blocking rod 32 is also provided on the horizontal bottom surface 30. The blocking rod 32 has a horizontal part and a vertical part. The vertical part is fixed to the horizontal bottom surface 30, and the horizontal part extends towards the vertical channel 33. When the bottom surface of the vial 9 faces the blocking rod 32, it can directly enter the vertical channel 33 with the bottom facing down. When the top surface of the vial 9 faces the blocking rod 32, the horizontal part of the blocking rod 32 can extend into the vial 9 from the top surface, so that the vial 9 enters the vertical channel 33 with the bottom facing down. (The vibrating discharge port 21 will accumulate vials 9, and thus gradually push the vials 9 in front forward, and finally make the vials 9 fall into the vertical channel 33 one by one); The length L2 of the entrance of the vertical channel 33 is less than the length L1 of the vial 9, and the distance L3 from the connecting part of the horizontal part and the vertical part of the blocking rod 32 to the side wall of the vertical channel 33 on the side far from the blocking rod 32 is greater than the length L1 of the vial 9. On the one hand, the blocking rod 32 can prevent the vial 9 from falling out from one side of the horizontal bottom surface 30. On the other hand, it plays a key role in adjusting the state of the vial 9 entering the vertical channel 33, so that the vial 9 always enters the vertical channel 33 with the bottom facing and the bottle mouth facing up;

[0057] The horizontal output mechanism 4 is arranged at the bottom of the vial adjusting mechanism 3 and is used to receive the vials 9 output by the vial adjusting mechanism 3 and output the vials 9 in a row.

[0058] In the vial orienting machine of this embodiment, the messy vials 9 are input into the vial adjusting mechanism 3 in the horizontal direction by the vibrating feeding tray 2. When the bottom surface of the vial 9 faces the blocking rod 32 of the vial adjusting mechanism 3, it can directly enter the vertical channel 33 with the bottom facing down. When the top surface of the vial 9 faces the blocking rod 32, the horizontal part of the blocking rod 32 can extend into the vial 9 from the top surface, so that the vial 9 enters the vertical channel 33 with the bottom facing down. Therefore, when the vial 9 falls onto the horizontal output mechanism 4, the bottle mouth is always facing up and the bottle bottom is facing down. The whole vial orienting machine has the advantages of no need for manual intervention and high orienting accuracy.

[0059] Furthermore, the side plate 31 has a vertical long hole, and the long hole is convenient for observing the accumulation situation of the vials 9 in the vertical channel 33.

[0060] Furthermore, a counting sensor 35 (column sensor) is installed on the side plate 31 , and the counting sensor 35 is used to count the medicine bottles 9 .

[0061] Furthermore, a sensor is provided at the bottom of the vertical channel 33 to sense whether a medicine bottle 9 is staying at the bottom of the vertical channel 33 .

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the height of the horizontal bottom surface 30 close to the blocking rod 32 is lower than the height of the horizontal bottom surface 30 away from the blocking rod 32 , so that the medicine bottle 9 can enter the vertical channel 33 easily.

[0063] Furthermore, a blocking assembly 36 is provided on the side plate 31 to block the vertical channel 33 and prevent the medicine bottle 9 from continuing to fall. The blocking assembly 36 is composed of a driving member and a blocking piece extending into the vertical channel 33. When the driving member drives the blocking piece to extend, the vertical channel 33 can be blocked. In particular, when a medicine bottle 9 is parked at the bottom of the vertical channel 33, the vertical channel 33 can be temporarily blocked to prevent another medicine bottle 9 from falling.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the horizontal output mechanism 4 includes a horizontal conveyor belt 41 driven by a motor 44, guardrails 42 located on both sides of the horizontal conveyor belt 41, and a bottle discharge assembly 43 is also provided in front of the horizontal conveyor belt 41. Several medicine bottles 9 can be transported forward at the horizontal conveyor belt 41, and the medicine bottles 9 are piled up and stopped at the bottle discharge assembly 43 without a conveyor belt, and the medicine bottles 9 form a row and are transported forward.

[0065] Furthermore, the guardrail 42 on each side is composed of two parallel round rods 421, and the round rods 421 are fixed by fixing members 422. The round rods 421 can reduce the friction on the side of the medicine bottle 9.

[0066] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet of the bottle discharging assembly 43 form an angle of 90° to adjust the direction of the outlet of the bottle discharging assembly 43 .

[0067] The specific shape of the bottle discharging assembly 43 can be freely adjusted according to actual needs.

[0068] It is worth noting that the height of the vertical channel 33 should not be too high to prevent the medicine bottle 9 from being damaged when it falls. A friction pad with high friction resistance can also be added to the inner wall of the vertical channel 33 to reduce the falling speed of the medicine bottle 9.

[0069] Inspired by the above-described ideal embodiments based on the present application, through the above description, relevant staff can fully make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of this application. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
