In the existing automated blood glucose test strip bottling and capping equipment, the bottle body and the bottle cap need to be equipped with a vibration plate for loading, resulting in a large area occupied by the loading station of the bottle body and the bottle cap. It also increases the complexity of the equipment and the installation, use and maintenance costs, which is not conducive to the mass production of blood glucose test strips. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through examples. The following examples are provided to explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0020] In this embodiment, the vibration plate 2 adopts a conventional vibration plate in the field, and a corresponding driving device is used to drive the vibration plate 2 to vibrate so that the materials can be neatly arranged and moved upward, which is a conventional technical means in the field. Therefore, the working principle of the vibration plate 2 will not be described in detail in this specification.

[0021] See also Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, a blood glucose test strip bottle vibration loading tray includes a base 1, a vibration tray 2 and a conveying mechanism 3. The vibration tray 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 are both fixed on the base 1. A first track 21 and a second track 22 are provided in the vibration tray 2, both of which are spirally ascending. The first track 21 and the second track 22 are respectively adapted for conveying the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5. A through hole 23 for the bottle cap 5 to pass through is provided at the bottom end of the first track 21. The first track 21 is connected to the second track 22 through the through hole 23. Two conveying mechanisms 3 are provided and are respectively connected to the outlets of the first track 21 and the second track 22.

[0022] The utility model places the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 in a mixed manner on the vibration plate 2, and the vibration of the vibration plate 2 makes the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 enter the first track 21 and then move spirally upward along the first track 21. Since the size of the through hole 23 can be set to be compatible with the thickness of the bottle cap 5, the through hole 23 can allow the bottle cap 5 to pass through while the bottle body 4 cannot pass through, so that the bottle cap 5 can fall into the second track 22 through the through hole 23, thereby realizing the separation of the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5. Thereafter, the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 respectively move upward along the first track 21 and the second track 22 under the action of the vibration plate 2, and are finally transported to the bottling station and the capping station of the blood glucose test strips respectively through the two conveying mechanisms 3. Therefore, the present invention uses a vibration plate 2 to separate the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 before loading. Compared with the method of using two vibration plates 2 to load the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 respectively in the prior art, the present invention can reduce the footprint of the vibration plate 2 and at the same time reduce the complexity of the equipment, thereby reducing the installation and maintenance costs of the equipment, which is conducive to the mass production of blood glucose test strips.

[0023] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The first track 21 includes an inner baffle 24 and an outer baffle 25. The distance between the inner baffle 24 and the outer baffle 25 is adapted to the diameter of the bottle body 4. The second track 22 is composed of a bottom plate 26, the side wall of the vibration plate 2 and an inclined plate 27. The bottom plate 26 is fixed on the side wall of the vibration plate 2. The upper and lower ends of the inclined plate 27 are respectively connected to the inner baffle 24 and the bottom plate 26. The minimum distance between the inclined plate 27 and the outer baffle 25 is greater than the thickness of the bottle cap 5 and smaller than the diameter of the bottle body 4.

[0024] The inner baffle 24 and the outer baffle 25 limit the bottle body 4, reducing the risk of the bottle body 4 falling off the first track 21. When the flat bottle cap 5 moves along the first track 21 to the position of the through hole 23, the bottle cap 5 will be attached to the inclined plate 27 under the action of its own weight. Since the distance between the inclined plate 27 and the outer baffle 25 is always greater than the thickness of the bottle cap 5, the bottle cap 5 can slide through the gap between the inclined plate 27 and the outer baffle 25 and slide into the second track 22. Since the bottle body 4 is too tall to pass through the gap between the inclined plate 27 and the outer baffle 25, the bottle body 4 can be retained in the first track 21. Therefore, the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 can be separated by the vibration of the vibrating plate 2 itself, which has the advantage of a simple structure.

[0025] See also Figure 2 A guide plate 28 is provided at the bottom end of the vibration disk 2. There are two guide plates 28, and the connecting ends of the two guide plates 28 are respectively connected to the inner baffle 24 and the outer baffle 25. The distance between the connecting end and the non-connecting end of the two guide plates 28 gradually increases.

[0026] The two guide plates 28 guide the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 at the bottom of the vibration plate 2, thereby facilitating the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 to move into the first track 21, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 2 A plurality of connecting rods 29 are provided between the outer baffle 25 and the inner wall of the vibration disk 2 , and the two ends of the connecting rods 29 are fixedly connected to the outer baffle 25 and the vibration disk 2 respectively.

[0028] The connecting rod 29 supports and fixes the outer baffle 25, thereby reducing the position deviation of the outer baffle 25 under its own gravity and the vibration of the vibration plate 2, and ensuring the limiting effect of the outer baffle 25 and the inner baffle 24 on the bottle body 4.

[0029] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The conveying mechanism 3 includes a bracket 31, a first synchronous belt 32 and a second synchronous belt 33. The first synchronous belt 32 is rotatably set on the bracket 31 through a plurality of synchronous wheels 34 and the first synchronous belt 32 is driven to rotate by a first motor 35. The second synchronous belt 33 is rotatably set on the bracket 31 through a plurality of synchronous wheels 34 and the second synchronous belt 33 is driven to rotate by a second motor 36. The second synchronous belt 33 is located on the upper side of the first synchronous belt 32.

[0030] When the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 are each moved to the corresponding conveying mechanism 3 under the action of the vibrating plate 2, the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 are moved and placed on the first synchronous belt 32. The first motor 35 is started to drive the first synchronous belt 32 to rotate, thereby driving the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 to move toward the discharge end of the utility model, completing the loading of the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5. The second synchronous belt 33 is arranged on the upper side of the first synchronous belt 32. The spacing between the second synchronous belt 33 and the first synchronous belt 32 in the two conveying mechanisms 3 is adapted to the height of the bottle body 4 and the thickness of the bottle cap 5, respectively. When the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 move under the second synchronous belt 33, they can be clamped between the first synchronous belt 32 and the second synchronous belt 33. The clamping action drives the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 to be neatly arranged on the first synchronous belt 32, thereby facilitating the bottle body 4 and the bottle cap 5 to be moved to the subsequent work station for the next step.

[0031] See also Figure 4 The second synchronous belt 33 and the second motor 36 are arranged on a sliding frame 37. The sliding frame 37 is set on the bracket 31 for sliding up and down. The bracket 31 is rotatably provided with a handle 38 for driving the bracket 31 to move up and down.

[0032] In this embodiment, a screw is coaxially connected to the handle 38. The screw is threadedly connected to the slide 37, so that when the handle 38 is rotated, the slide 37 can be driven up and down. Adjusting the position of the slide 37 on the bracket 31 adjusts the spacing between the first and second timing belts 32, 33, thereby facilitating adaptation to the height of the bottle body 4 and the thickness of the bottle cap 5. This allows the conveying mechanism 3 to accommodate bottles 4 of varying heights and bottle caps 5 of varying thicknesses within a certain range. Furthermore, the two conveying mechanisms 3 can be of the same specification, and the spacing between the first and second timing belts 32, 33 can be adjusted to accommodate the bottle body 4 and bottle cap 5, respectively, thereby reducing the complexity of the conveying mechanism 3.

[0033] The above contents described in this specification are merely examples of the present invention. Those skilled in the art of the present invention may make various modifications, additions, or substitute similar methods to the specific embodiments described, as long as they do not deviate from the contents of this specification or exceed the scope defined by the claims, and shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
