Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical equipment, in particular to a vial conveying device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, automatic loading and unloading systems are devices attached to freeze dryers to load and unload vials. These systems automate, streamline, systematize, and isolate the loading and unloading of vials. Typically, a serpentine track is used to provide sufficient buffer length for bottle movement. This track consists of three parallel mesh belts, with adjacent tracks running in opposite directions, forming an "S"-shaped channel for bottle movement. However, at the intersection of the serpentine tracks, where the two tracks run in opposite directions, bottles are subject to opposing frictional forces, preventing further movement. While the filler is continuously discharging bottles, the small vial is pushed through the intersection by the bottle behind it. However, when the last bottle reaches the intersection, the push from the bottle behind it is insufficient, causing the small vial to become stuck and rotate at the intersection, potentially causing instability and tipping. The existing utility model with patent publication number CN205668787U discloses a snake net guardrail for the automatic feeding and discharging system of a freeze dryer. The system reduces the risk of bottle overturning by setting up multiple bottle feeding channels, turning channels and straight channels. Although it can expand the ability to reject overturned bottles, the setting and connection of channels of different shapes are relatively complicated, and there is still a risk of the tail bottle falling over. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a syringe bottle conveying device, aiming to solve the problem of poor operation effect of the tail bottle in the existing syringe bottles.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a vial conveying device comprising at least two parallel and juxtaposed mesh belts and a mesh belt junction connecting the two adjacent mesh belts;

[0005] Each mesh belt is equipped with a corresponding parallel fence, and each mesh belt junction is equipped with a corresponding arc-shaped fence. There is a channel for the operation of the vials between each parallel fence and the arc-shaped fence.

[0006] A circular groove is provided on one side of each arc segment fence, the outer circle of the circular groove intersects with the arc segment fence, and a rotating part is provided in the circular groove. The rotating part has a bottle-pushing part and a guide part. The guide part is arc-shaped and overlaps with the arc of the arc segment fence through the bottle-pushing part.

[0007] Optionally, a first sensor is installed on the other side of each arc-shaped segment fence;

[0008] Each first sensor is used to detect whether there is a vial falling on the channel at the intersection of the mesh belts.

[0009] Optionally, corresponding second sensors and third sensors are also provided at corresponding intervals near each circular groove, each second sensor is used to detect whether a vial enters the mesh belt junction, and each third sensor is used to detect whether a vial leaves the mesh belt junction.

[0010] Optionally, each of the first sensor, the second sensor and the third sensor is further connected to a control unit via an electrical signal, and the control unit is used to monitor the operating status of the vials on the mesh belt in real time.

[0011] Optionally, each mesh belt is arranged integrally with the corresponding mesh belt junction.

[0012] Optionally, each rotating member is connected to the motor via a synchronous belt.

[0013] Optionally, adjacent mesh belts have opposite transport directions.

[0014] Optionally, the intersections of the mesh belts are arc-shaped.

[0015] Beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) The vial conveying device is provided with a circular groove and a rotating part in the circular groove. The rotating part has a bottle-pushing part and a guide part. The guide part is arc-shaped and the arc of the bottle-pushing part and the arc segment fence overlap. Therefore, when the vial is in the tail bottle transmission state, the bottle-pushing part can improve the efficiency of the tail bottle passing, thereby realizing automatic transmission of the tail bottle. When the vial is in the non-tail bottle transmission state, the guide part can serve as a part of the corresponding arc segment fence to support the transmission of the vial, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the guide part.

[0017] (2) A first sensor is provided to detect whether a vial has fallen on the channel at the mesh belt junction, thereby preventing the impact of the vial falling on the entire vial transmission. The risk of the vial exploding if the rotating part rotates during the bottle falling process is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the vial falling and the number of human interventions. The second and third sensors are used to monitor the vials entering and exiting the mesh belt junction in real time, and can also automatically determine whether the vial is at the end of the bottle state.

[0018] (3) The fixed and basically overlapping setting of the intersection of the mesh belt and the corresponding mesh belt avoids the possible unevenness of the intersection during the transportation of the vials, thereby affecting the transmission efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a vial conveying device, comprising at least two parallel and juxtaposed mesh belts 6 and a mesh belt junction connecting two adjacent mesh belts 6, wherein the mesh belt junction is arc-shaped, and the mesh belt 6 and the mesh belt junction are fixed and substantially overlap. Furthermore, each mesh belt 6 is mounted with a corresponding parallel fence 7, and each mesh belt junction is mounted with a corresponding arc-shaped segment fence 8. A passage for the passage of vials 10 is defined between each parallel fence 7 and the arc-shaped segment fence 8, and the width of the vial passage is slightly larger than the diameter of the vial. Adjacent mesh belts 6 move in opposite directions, thereby forming an "S"-shaped passage for the vials 10, thereby reducing the area occupied by the vials 10 and improving space utilization. Preferably, each mesh belt 6 and the corresponding mesh belt junction are arranged in an integrated manner, thereby avoiding the possibility of the junction being uneven during the transportation of the vials 10, which would affect the transmission efficiency.

[0034] like Figure 2-4 As shown in FIG6 , a circular groove 9 is provided on one side of each arc segment fence 8. The outer circle of the circular groove 9 intersects with the arc segment fence 8. A rotating member 1 is provided in the circular groove 9. The rotating member 1 has a bottle-pushing portion 11 and a guide portion 12. The guide portion 12 is arc-shaped and coincides with the arc of the arc segment fence 8 through the bottle-pushing portion 11. When the tail bottle of the cillin bottle runs to the junction of the mesh belt, Figure 3-4 As shown, by starting the rotation of the rotating member 1 and driving its bottle-pushing part 11 to rotate, the bottle-pushing part 11 provides thrust to push the tail bottle to continue moving forward until all the tail bottles pass, and finally realize the automatic transmission of the tail bottle; and when the vial is in the non-tail bottle transmission state, the rotation of the rotating member 1 is stopped, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the guide portion 12 is used as a part of the corresponding arc-shaped segment fence 8 to support the transmission of the vials, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the guide portion. Preferably, each rotating member 1 is connected to the motor 13 through a synchronous belt 2.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 1As shown, a first sensor 3 is installed on the other side of each arc-shaped segment fence 8, and its purpose is to detect whether there is a syringe bottle 10 falling on the channel at the intersection of the mesh belt, so as to avoid the influence of the syringe bottle 10 falling on the entire syringe bottle transmission. Because if the rotating part 1 rotates when the bottle is falling, it will cause the risk of bottle explosion, thereby reducing the risk of bottle falling and reducing the number of human interventions.

[0036] Furthermore, corresponding second sensors 4 and third sensors 5 are provided at corresponding intervals near each circular groove 9. Each second sensor 4 is used to detect whether a vial enters the mesh belt junction, and each third sensor 5 is used to detect whether a vial leaves the mesh belt junction. The second sensor 4 and the third sensor 5 are then used to monitor the entry and exit of the vial into and out of the mesh belt junction in real time, and can also automatically determine whether it is in the end-of-bottle state, so as to prompt the start of the rotating part 1.

[0037] Furthermore, each of the first sensor 3, the second sensor 4 and the third sensor 5 is also electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit is used to monitor the operating status of the vials 10 on the mesh belt 6 in real time. Then, the control unit can further determine whether the operating status of the vials transmitted to the mesh belt junction is normal in combination with the first sensor 3, the second sensor 4 and the third sensor 5. If an abnormality occurs, the relevant technical personnel can be reminded in real time to facilitate the adoption of corresponding measures for further processing.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or system comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or system. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or system comprising the element.
