Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical packaging machinery technology, specifically an antistatic bottle sorting machine for eliminating static electricity and sorting medicine bottles, which is particularly suitable for the pre-treatment of medicine bottles on a liquid filling production line. Background Technology

[0002] During the liquid medicine filling process, static electricity in medicine bottles often affects filling efficiency and product quality. Static electricity can not only cause medicine bottles to attract dust, hair, and other impurities, but it can also cause mutual attraction or repulsion between medicine bottles, affecting stable transport and accurate positioning. Most existing bottle handling equipment can only perform simple bottle sorting functions and lacks effective static electricity elimination methods, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-quality production.

[0003] Patent application number CN202010241604.0 discloses a bottle unscrambler, including a bottle storage cylinder, a reduction motor for driving the bottle storage cylinder to rotate, an annular enclosure, a conveyor belt, and inner and outer guide rods. The annular enclosure is fitted around the bottle storage cylinder with a gap between them. The annular bottle body of the bottle storage cylinder is composed of multiple bottle-holding units arranged and fixed circumferentially on the outer wall of the cylinder, each bottle-holding unit having an upward opening and an outward opening, which are connected to each other. The annular body of the annular enclosure has a bottle outlet. One end of the conveyor belt passes through the bottle outlet, and its upper surface is adjacent to the lower surface of the annular bottle body with a gap. The inner and outer guide rods are located on the inner and outer sides of the same horizontal plane directly above the conveyor belt. One end of the inner guide rod passes through the side near the bottle outlet and is located above the annular bottle body, with the corresponding top end of the inner guide rod near the outer wall of the bottle storage cylinder, and the corresponding top end of the outer guide rod near the other side of the bottle outlet.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patented technology can only perform simple bottle handling and cannot remove static electricity or foreign objects, which may increase the chance of contamination of medicine bottles. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrostatic elimination bottle unscrambler to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] (1) How to overcome the problem of static electricity in medicine bottles, which may lead to decreased filling efficiency and unstable product quality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A static-eliminating bottle unscrambler;

[0009] Includes cabinet, bottle unscrambler assembly, conveyor rails, and ionizer;

[0010] The cabinet is equipped with a feeding chamber and a bottle unloading chamber. The feeding chamber has a feeding port on the upper side that communicates with the outside, and the bottle unloading chamber has an opening on the upper side that communicates with the outside. The bottom of the feeding chamber and the bottom of the bottle unloading chamber are connected through a transition chamber.

[0011] The bottle unscrambling assembly is located in the bottle unscrambling chamber. The bottle unscrambling assembly includes a unscrambling tray and an unscrambling motor. The unscrambling motor is fixedly connected in the bottle unscrambling chamber. The unscrambling tray is mounted on the output shaft of the unscrambling motor. The unscrambling tray is arranged at an angle. The lower part of the unscrambling tray extends to a position close to the transition chamber. The side wall of the unscrambling tray has several slots. The slots of the unscrambling tray and the groove wall of the bottle unscrambling chamber form a bottle unscrambling station for accommodating individual medicine bottles.

[0012] The conveying track is close to the upper part of the feeding tray, and the beginning of the conveying track is aligned with the moving trajectory of the feeding tray groove. The medicine bottle moves along the groove of the feeding tray into the conveying track. The conveying track extends out of the bottle feeding chamber and is connected to the medicine filling production line.

[0013] The ion fan is installed at the opening of the bottle sorting chamber, and the air outlet of the ion fan can be directed towards the inside of the bottle sorting chamber.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0015] Furthermore, the auger assembly includes a geared motor, helical blades, and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is supported on both sides of the transition chamber, the output shaft of the geared motor is connected to the rotating shaft, and the helical blades are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft.

[0016] Furthermore, the auger assembly also includes a coupling, through which the output shaft of the geared motor is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0017] Furthermore, the inner wall of the bottle handling chamber is provided with an air extraction hole, which is connected to an external negative pressure source.

[0018] Furthermore, a filter screen is provided at the air extraction port.

[0019] Furthermore, the feeding tray of the bottle feeding assembly is made of rubber.

[0020] Furthermore, the side wall of the ion fan is equipped with a bracket, one end of which is hinged to the side wall of the ion fan, and the other end of which is hinged to the upper surface of the cabinet.

[0021] With this structure, the cabinet interior is divided into a feeding chamber and a bottle-sorting chamber. The feeding chamber has a feed inlet on its upper side that communicates with the outside to receive the bottles to be processed; the bottle-sorting chamber has an opening on its upper side that communicates with the outside for easy observation and adjustment. A transition chamber forms the channel for transferring the bottles.

[0022] The bottle-sorting assembly is located inside the bottle-sorting compartment. The sorting tray is made of rubber to increase friction with the medicine bottles and ensure stable movement of the bottles. Each slot and the wall of the bottle-sorting compartment form a bottle-sorting station that accommodates an individual medicine bottle, enabling the sorting of each bottle one by one.

[0023] The conveyor track is positioned near the top of the feeding tray, with its starting end aligned with the movement trajectory of the feeding tray's slots, ensuring that medicine bottles can smoothly slide from the feeding tray slots into the conveyor track. The conveyor track extends outside the bottle feeding chamber and connects directly to the medicine filling production line, achieving seamless integration.

[0024] The ion blower is installed at the opening of the bottle handling chamber, with its air outlet facing the inside of the chamber. By blowing airflow carrying positive and negative ions, it effectively neutralizes the static electricity on the surface of the medicine bottles and reduces the impact of static electricity on the filling process.

[0025] The auger assembly propels the medicine bottles from the feeding chamber into the bottle unloading chamber, achieving a smooth transition for the medicine bottles.

[0026] The vent is connected to an external negative pressure source, which further reduces dust and static electricity residue in the bottle handling chamber through suction.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this static-eliminating bottle unscrambler are:

[0028] (1) The static electricity on the surface of the medicine bottle is effectively eliminated by the ion blower, which improves the stability of the filling process and the product quality.

[0029] (2) The bottle feeding assembly is reasonably designed to ensure that medicine bottles enter the conveying track one by one in an orderly manner, thereby improving filling efficiency.

[0030] (3) The screw conveyor assembly enables a smooth transition of medicine bottles from the feeding chamber to the bottle handling chamber, reducing the risk of medicine bottle breakage.

[0031] (4) The combined use of the air extraction port and the negative pressure source effectively maintains a clean environment in the bottle handling chamber.

[0032] This static elimination bottle unscrambler integrates static elimination, bottle sorting, and conveying, making it suitable for pharmaceutical filling production lines and significantly improving production efficiency and product quality. Attached Figure Description
