Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medicine bottle transmission, and in particular to a medicine quantity detection device for a storage turntable. Background Technology

[0002] The cartoning machine's storage turntable device frequently experiences two states: full or empty, due to interruptions in upstream and downstream processes. When full, operators must manually pick up the bottles from the feeding conveyor and place them in a basket; when empty, the bottles must be removed from the basket and added to the feeding conveyor, resulting in wasted operator time and increased labor intensity. Furthermore, the frequent fullness of the storage turntable device easily leads to overload and damage to the belt and motor, causing production delays and increased maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drug dosage detection device for a material storage turntable.

[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a drug dosage detection device for a storage turntable, comprising a mounting frame, a fixing component and a sliding component disposed on the mounting frame;

[0005] The fixing component includes a first connector disposed on the mounting bracket, a first connecting rod disposed on the first connector, a first mounting component disposed on the first connecting rod, and a spring with elasticity disposed on the first mounting component.

[0006] The sliding assembly includes a second connector on the mounting bracket, a second connecting rod on the second connector, a second mounting member on the second connecting rod, and a detection switch on the second mounting member; the spring is inclined to the second mounting member; when there are many medicine bottles on the storage turntable, the medicine bottles squeeze the spring, the spring bends and contacts the detection switch, at which time the feeding conveyor stops feeding material onto the storage turntable.

[0007] Furthermore, both the first connector and the second connector include a top plate, a bottom plate connected to the top plate by a plurality of first bolts, an inner cavity formed between the top plate and the bottom plate, and fasteners provided on the bottom plate. The mounting bracket extends through the inner cavity, and the fasteners are used to restrict the movement of the bottom plate on the mounting bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, the detection switch includes a switch body disposed on the second mounting member, a contact member disposed on the switch body that is movable toward the switch body, a pin disposed on the contact member, and a button disposed on the switch body, the switch body being electrically connected to the start switch of the feeding conveying device.

[0009] Furthermore, the contact element includes a main body portion that is rotatably connected to the switch body, and a spring disposed between the main body portion and the switch body.

[0010] Furthermore, the contact element is elastic and deforms towards the switch body when squeezed.

[0011] Furthermore, the contact element is provided with a roller, and the spring sheet is bent and contacts the roller when squeezed by the medicine bottle.

[0012] Furthermore, the fastener is a second bolt, which is bolted to the base plate. Loosening the fastener allows the base plate to slide on the mounting bracket, while tightening the second bolt restricts the sliding of the base plate on the mounting bracket.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Medicine bottles are transported on the main body of the storage turntable device, and the bottles are blocked and restricted by baffles on the device. Therefore, the more bottles there are, the greater the pressure on the spring sheet, and the higher the degree of bending of the spring sheet. When there are many bottles on the storage turntable device, the spring sheet will bend until it contacts the detection switch. Upon contact, the detection switch receives a signal, at which point the feeding conveyor stops transporting the bottles, while the discharging conveyor continues to transport the bottles from the storage turntable device. This ensures that the number of bottles on the storage turntable device is always at a good level, avoiding the need to manually remove some bottles from the feeding conveyor when there are too many, or to add more bottles when there are too few. Furthermore, it prevents the storage turntable device from being completely full, which could lead to overload and damage to the belt and motor. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the upstream and downstream of the storage turntable device 3 of the medicine bottle 5 cartoning machine are the feeding conveyor device 1 and the discharging conveyor device 2, respectively. The feeding conveyor device 1 transmits the medicine bottle 5 to the storage turntable device 3, and the discharging conveyor device 2 is used to transmit the medicine bottle 5 on the storage turntable device 3 out. The feeding conveyor device 1 and the discharging conveyor device 2 are composed of a motor and a conveyor belt. The motor rotates to drive the conveyor belt to transport the medicine bottle 5. The storage turntable device 3 is composed of a motor, a belt and a turntable body 32. The motor starts and drives the turntable to rotate through the belt drive. The storage turntable device 3, the feeding conveyor device 1 and the discharging conveyor 2 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] This utility model provides a drug dosage detection device 4 for a material storage turntable, such as... Figures 2-4 As shown, it includes a mounting bracket 41, a fixing component 42 and a sliding component 43 disposed on the mounting bracket 41;

[0026] The fixing component 42 includes a first connector 421 disposed on the mounting bracket 41, a first connecting rod 422 disposed on the first connector 421, a first mounting component 423 disposed on the first connecting rod 422, and a spring sheet 424 with elasticity disposed on the first mounting component 423.

[0027] The sliding assembly 43 includes a second connector 431 disposed on the mounting bracket 41, a second connecting rod 432 disposed on the second connector 431, a second mounting member 433 disposed on the second connecting rod 432, and a detection switch 434 disposed on the second mounting member 433; the spring piece 424 is inclined to the second mounting member 433; when there are many medicine bottles 5 on the storage turntable, the medicine bottles 5 squeeze the spring piece 424, the spring piece 424 bends and contacts the detection switch 434, at which time the feeding conveying device 1 stops feeding material to the storage turntable.

[0028] The mounting bracket 41 can be fixedly connected to the outer shell of the material storage turntable device 3 or directly set on the ground. The mounting bracket 41 serves to fix and support the device. One end of the spring piece 424 is close to the center of the turntable body 32 of the material storage turntable device 3, and the other end is close to the outer side of the turntable body 32. The detection switch 434 is connected to the motor frequency converter start / stop control terminal of the feeding transmission device 1 through a signal cable. When the detection switch 434 receives a signal, it will control the feeding transmission device 1 to start or stop, that is, control whether the feeding transmission device 1 feeds material to the material storage turntable device 3 or stops feeding material.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figures 5-6As shown, when the feeding conveyor 1 feeds the storage turntable device 3, the medicine bottles 5 are conveyed on the turntable body 32 of the storage turntable device 3. The medicine bottles 5 are blocked and restricted by the baffle 31 on the storage turntable device 3. As a result, the more medicine bottles 5 there are, the greater the squeezing force on the spring 424, and the greater the bending degree of the spring 424. When there are 80-100 medicine bottles 5 on the storage turntable device 3, the spring 424 bends to contact the detection switch 434. The detection switch 434 receives a signal when it is contacted, and at this time, the feeding conveyor 1 is controlled to stop transporting the medicine bottles 5, while the discharging conveyor 2 continues to transport the medicine bottles 5 on the storage turntable device 3. When the number of medicine bottles 5 is less than 80, the bending degree of the spring 424 decreases, and the spring 424 will not contact the detection switch 434. At this time, the feeding conveyor 1 resumes working and transports the medicine bottles 5 to the storage turntable device 3.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, both the first connector 421 and the second connector 431 include a top plate 4311, a bottom plate 4312 connected to the top plate 4311 by a plurality of first bolts 4314, an inner cavity 4313 formed between the top plate 4311 and the bottom plate 4312, and fasteners provided on the bottom plate 4312. The mounting bracket 41 passes through the inner cavity 4313. The fasteners are used to restrict the movement of the bottom plate 4312 on the mounting bracket 41. The fasteners are second bolts 4315, which are bolted to the bottom plate 4312. Loosening the fasteners allows the bottom plate 4312 to slide on the mounting bracket 41. Tightening the second bolts 4315 restricts the sliding of the bottom plate 4312 on the mounting bracket 41.

[0031] It is understandable that the operator can adjust the position of the detection switch 434. When the detection switch 434 is closer to the center of the turntable body 32, the spring 424 needs to bend more to contact the detection switch 434, thus the feeding time will be longer and more medicine bottles 5 will be stored on the turntable. Conversely, when the detection switch 434 is closer to the outer ring of the turntable body 32, the spring 424 bends less, the feeding time is shorter, and less medicine is stored on the turntable body 32. Specifically, the operator can loosen the second bolt 4315 on the sliding assembly 43. At this time, the second connecting piece 431 is in an active state. Sliding the second connecting piece 431 towards the center of the turntable body 32 or towards the outer ring will cause the second connecting piece 431 to move... The second connecting rod 432 moves, which in turn moves the second mounting component 433. The movement of the second mounting component 433 moves the detection switch 434, thereby adjusting the position of the detection switch 434. After the position of the detection switch 434 is adjusted, the operator can tighten the second bolt 4315 so that the end of the second bolt 4315 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting frame 41, thereby restricting the sliding of the second connecting component 431. When it is necessary to remove the fixing component 42 or the sliding component 43 from the mounting frame 41, the operator can remove the first bolt 4314 to separate the top plate 4311 and the bottom plate 4312, thus removing the fixing component 42 or the sliding component 43 from the mounting frame 41.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the detection switch 434 includes a switch body 4341 disposed on the second mounting member 433, a contact member 4342 disposed on the switch body 4341 that can move toward the switch body 4341, a pin 4344 disposed on the contact member 4342, and a button 4346 disposed on the switch body 4341. The switch body 4341 is electrically connected to the start switch of the feeding conveying device 1. A roller 4343 is disposed on the contact member 4342. When the spring piece 424 is squeezed by the medicine bottle 5, it is bent and contacts the roller 4343.

[0033] It is understandable that when there are too many medicine bottles 5 on the turntable body 32, the spring 424 is squeezed and deformed, and will contact and squeeze the roller 4343. The roller 4343 reduces friction. The squeezed roller 4343 will drive the contact 4342 to move closer to the switch body 4341. The movement of the contact 4342 will drive the ejector pin 4344 to move. The ejector pin 4344 will contact the button 4346 and press the button 4346. At this time, the switch body 4341 sends a signal to the feeding conveyor 1 to stop it from working. In this embodiment, the contact 4342 includes a rotating type that is connected to the switch body. The main body 4341 is connected to the main body, and the spring 4345 is provided between the main body and the switch body 4341. When the spring piece 424 presses the roller 4343, the main body rotates towards the switch body 4341, and the spring 4345 is compressed. When the spring piece 424 no longer presses the roller 4343, the main body is reset by the spring 4345. In other embodiments, the contact 4342 is an elastic sheet. When it is pressed, the elastic sheet deforms and moves towards the switch body 4341. When it is not pressed, it resets from the deformed state and moves away from the switch body 4341.

[0034] In summary, the medicine bottles 5 are transported on the turntable body 32 of the storage turntable device 3. The medicine bottles 5 are blocked and restricted by the baffle 31 on the storage turntable device 3. Therefore, the more medicine bottles 5 there are, the greater the squeezing force on the spring 424, and the greater the bending degree of the spring 424. When there are many medicine bottles 5 on the storage turntable device 3, the spring 424 will bend until it contacts the detection switch 434. The detection switch 434 receives a signal upon contact, at which point it controls the feeding conveyor 1 to stop transporting the medicine bottles 5, while the discharging conveyor 2... The medicine bottles 5 on the storage turntable device 3 are constantly being conveyed, thus maintaining a good quantity of medicine bottles 5 on the storage turntable device 3. This avoids the situation where there are too many medicine bottles 5 on the storage turntable device 3, requiring manual removal of some medicine bottles 5 from the feeding conveyor device 1, and when there are too few medicine bottles 5 on the storage turntable device 3, requiring some medicine bottles 5 to be placed on the feeding conveyor device 1. It also prevents the storage turntable device 3 from being full of medicine bottles 5, which would cause the belt and motor of the storage turntable device 3 to operate under overload and be damaged.
