[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a robotic arm unloading device for a blood transfusion bag filling machine, including a support 11, a first mechanical gripper 12, a lifting drive source 13, and a second mechanical gripper 14. At least one mounting frame 15 is provided on one side of the support 11. The first mechanical gripper 12 is mounted on the mounting frame 15 and has two first claw bodies 121 arranged horizontally for gripping blood transfusion bags from a horizontal surface. The lifting drive source 13 is mounted on the mounting frame 15. The second mechanical gripper 14 is connected to the telescopic end of the lifting drive source 13 and has two second claw bodies 141 arranged vertically for gripping stacked strings of blood transfusion bags.

[0027] The first mechanical gripper 12 of this utility model is designed for horizontally placed blood transfusion bags, while the second mechanical gripper 14 is designed for stacked blood transfusion bags. Through the combination of the two grippers, the feeding device can better handle blood transfusion bags in different placement states, effectively reducing the conversion time between different operations, thereby improving the adaptability of the equipment to the production process. Moreover, this automated operation method also reduces the need for manual intervention and greatly improves the overall production efficiency.

[0028] In one embodiment, a robotic arm unloading device for a blood transfusion bag filling machine further includes a first connecting plate 16 and a second connecting plate 17. The first connecting plate 16 is provided at one end of the mounting frame 15 away from the bracket 11. The first connecting plate 16 has a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction. The first connecting plate 16 is provided with a first through hole 161 and a second through hole 162 penetrating the first surface and the second surface, wherein the second through hole 162 is symmetrically arranged with the first through hole 161 as the center. The second connecting plate 17 is provided with a second mechanical gripper 14 on the side away from the first connecting plate 16. The telescopic end of the lifting drive source 13 passes through the first through hole 161, and the telescopic end of the lifting drive source 13 is connected to the second connecting plate 17. Preferably, the lifting drive source 13 can be a lifting cylinder. The lifting cylinder, as a power component, has its telescopic end connected to the second connecting plate 17 through the first through hole 161, successfully transmitting its telescopic power to the second mechanical gripper 14. When it is necessary to grip stacked transfusion bags, the lifting cylinder extends and retracts, driving the second connecting plate 17 and the second mechanical gripper 14 mounted on it to move precisely in the vertical direction, achieving a stable gripping action. The first connecting plate 16, relying on the mounting bracket 15, provides a stable support platform for the lifting cylinder and the second connecting plate 17. The second connecting plate 17 carries the second mechanical gripper 14, which, in conjunction with the fixing and guiding of the first connecting plate 16, allows the second mechanical gripper 14 to work in conjunction with the first mechanical gripper 12 to handle different placement states of transfusion bags. For example, the first mechanical gripper 12 handles horizontally placed transfusion bags, while the second mechanical gripper 14, driven by the lifting drive source 13, handles stacked transfusion bags, improving the adaptability and working efficiency of the entire unloading device.

[0029] As an extension, a robotic arm unloading device for a blood bag filling machine also includes a guide rod 18 and a guide sleeve 19. One end of the guide rod 18 is connected to the second connecting plate 17, and the other end of the guide rod 18 passes through the second through hole 162. The guide rod 18 is set in the second through hole 162 through the guide sleeve 19. The guide sleeve 19 provides a stable support point for the guide rod 18, sharing some of the load force that was originally borne only by the lifting drive source 13, and enhancing the stability of the entire lifting structure. Especially in long-term, high-intensity working scenarios, even if the lifting drive source 13 experiences slight power fluctuations, the combination of the guide rod 18 and the guide sleeve 19 can maintain the stable posture of the second mechanical gripper 14, avoiding affecting the grasping accuracy of the blood bag.

[0030] In one embodiment, a robotic unloading device for a blood transfusion bag filling machine further includes a linear module 20 and a support frame 21. The support frame 21 is disposed on the side of the bracket 11 facing away from the mounting frame 15. The support frame 21 is connected to the linear module 20. By adding the linear module 20, the unloading device is given more possibilities for movement. Relying on the precise linear motion capability of the linear module 20, the components connected to it can achieve precise displacement in the horizontal direction. This plays a key role in the more flexible and precise handling and positioning of blood transfusion bags on the production line, and further optimizes the unloading process in conjunction with existing grippers and other components.

[0031] Furthermore, a robotic arm unloading device for a blood transfusion bag filling machine also includes a frame 22, on which a linear module 20 is mounted. The frame 22 provides better support for the linear module 20, making its various movements more stable and precise.

[0032] In actual operation, the vacuum tube of the blood transfusion bag requiring vacuuming is precisely connected to the vacuuming mechanism, while blood transfusion bags not requiring vacuuming are stacked on the loading frame. After the blood transfusion bags are fixed, the vacuuming operation is performed, and the vacuumed blood transfusion bags are transported to a specific location for conveying. When all processes are completed and the bag is conveyed to the unloading station, the first mechanical gripper 12 moves to a suitable position above the blood transfusion bag, and then the two horizontally arranged first claw bodies 121 close, precisely gripping the tube of the blood transfusion bag and steadily lifting it from the horizontal plane. For stacked blood transfusion bags, the lifting drive source 13 is activated. Upon initial operation, the telescopic end of the device drives the second mechanical gripper 14 to descend, ensuring that the two vertically arranged second gripper bodies 141 are precisely aligned with the target blood transfusion bag. Subsequently, the second gripper bodies 141 close, firmly clamping the blood transfusion bag. After the second mechanical gripper 14 grabs the blood transfusion bag, the lifting drive source 13 drives in the opposite direction, causing the second mechanical gripper 14 to rise and lift the blood transfusion bag to a suitable height. Then, the blood transfusion bag is transported to the target position through the linear module 20. The entire process reduces manual intervention and relies on the precise cooperation between mechanical components to efficiently and stably realize the unloading process of the blood transfusion bag from the filling machine to the subsequent workstation.

[0033] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
