[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum-plastic blister packaging technology, specifically to a vibrating material handling device and a feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of automation, the arrangement and sorting of irregularly shaped bottled products is a crucial process in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. In traditional material handling, especially for irregularly shaped bottles, a significant amount of manual labor is required for sorting and screening, which is not only inefficient but also prone to errors. To address the issue of manual material handling, vibrating feeding equipment is used to automate bottle sorting. However, how to achieve automatic feeding and improve feeding efficiency within this equipment remains a pressing problem for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a vibrating material handling device and a feeding mechanism to solve at least one technical problem existing in the prior art.

[0006] The hopper contains the medicine bottles to be processed.

[0007] The lifting conveyor assembly has its feed end located inside the hopper. The lifting conveyor assembly includes a lifting conveyor belt and a lifting conveying power component. The lifting conveyor belt moves under the drive of the lifting conveyor assembly so that the medicine bottles to be processed move away from the hopper along with the lifting conveyor belt.

[0008] A feeding conveyor belt is provided, with the discharge end of the lifting conveyor assembly connected to the feeding conveyor belt so that the medicine bottles to be processed on the lifting conveyor belt fall onto the surface of the feeding conveyor belt; the feeding conveyor belt is connected to a feeding power component, and the feeding conveyor belt moves under the drive of the feeding power component so that the medicine bottles to be processed move with the feeding conveyor belt toward the vibrating plate;

[0009] A baffle is disposed on the surface of the feeding conveyor belt and divides at least two independent feeding channels on the feeding conveyor belt.

The feeding channels guide the bottles to different oscillating discs. The feed end of each feeding channel is connected to or disconnected from the discharge end of the lifting conveyor belt. The flow of bottles to the target oscillating disc is controlled as needed to achieve synchronous or partial feeding of multiple oscillating discs.

[0011] In this way, the feeding mechanism operates as a continuous process, taking medicine bottles out of the hopper, lifting and conveying them, and finally sending them in an orderly manner into the vibrating plate for sorting. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of medicine bottle processing, reduces manual operation, lowers the error rate, achieves automatic feeding, and improves feeding efficiency.

[0036] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] The following is combined Figures 1-5 The feeding mechanism provided by this utility model will be introduced.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the feeding mechanism 100 provided by this utility model is used in a vibrating material handling device. The vibrating material handling device includes at least two vibrating discs 200, which are arranged side by side. This embodiment uses two vibrating discs 200 as an example for illustration. The feeding mechanism 100 includes a hopper 101, a lifting and conveying assembly, a feeding conveyor belt 103, and a baffle 104. The medicine bottles to be handled are placed in the hopper 101. It can be understood that the main function of the hopper 101 is to store medicine bottles to be handled. The hopper 101 needs to have sufficient capacity to accommodate a certain number of medicine bottles and to ensure that the medicine bottles can smoothly enter the lifting conveyor belt 102. The hopper 101 can be funnel-shaped to facilitate the flow of medicine bottles. The hopper 101 can be equipped with a vibration device to help the medicine bottles flow smoothly into the lifting conveyor belt 102.

[0039] The feeding end of the lifting and conveying assembly is located inside the hopper 101. The lifting and conveying assembly includes a lifting conveyor belt 102 and a lifting and conveying power component. The lifting conveyor belt 102 moves under the drive of the lifting and conveying assembly, so that the medicine bottles to be processed move away from the hopper 101 along with the lifting conveyor belt 102. The lifting conveyor belt 102 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, with the feeding end lower than the discharging end, so as to lift the medicine bottles from the hopper 101 to a certain height to prepare for subsequent feeding and vibration sorting. The lifting conveyor belt 102 can be a continuous belt. The lifting and conveying power component provides power to the lifting conveyor belt 102, driving the lifting conveyor belt 102 to move and realize the lifting of the medicine bottles. The lifting and conveying power component can be a motor, which transmits power to the lifting conveyor belt 102 through gears or belts. The speed of the motor can be adjusted to control the lifting speed of the medicine bottles.

[0040] The discharge end of the lifting conveyor assembly is connected to the feeding conveyor belt 103 so that the medicine bottles to be processed on the lifting conveyor belt 102 fall onto the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 103. The feeding conveyor belt 103 is connected to a feeding power component and moves under the drive of the feeding power component, so that the medicine bottles to be processed move with the feeding conveyor belt 103 toward the vibrating plate 200. The feeding conveyor belt 103 further transports the medicine bottles on the lifting conveyor belt 102 to the vibrating plate 200. The feeding conveyor belt 103 can be one or more parallel belts to ensure that the medicine bottles can be smoothly transferred from the lifting conveyor belt 102 to the feeding conveyor belt 103. The feeding power component provides power to the feeding conveyor belt 103, driving its movement. Similar to the lifting conveyor power component, the feeding power component can also be a motor, transmitting power to the feeding conveyor belt 103 through an appropriate transmission mechanism (such as gears, chains, or belts).

[0041] The baffle 104 is disposed on the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 103, and divides the feeding conveyor belt 103 into at least two independent feeding channels. The inlet end of each feeding channel is connected to or disconnected from the outlet end of the lifting conveyor belt 102, and the other end of each feeding channel is connected to the vibrating plate 200. By dividing the feeding conveyor belt 103 into multiple independent feeding channels by the baffle 104, it is ensured that the medicine bottles can be accurately distributed to different vibrating plates 200. The position of the baffle 104 can be fixed or adjustable to accommodate medicine bottles of different sizes and shapes. The material of the baffle 104 needs to be wear-resistant to withstand the continuous impact of the medicine bottles.

[0042] Furthermore, the lifting conveyor assembly may also include two longitudinal baffles 105, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the lifting conveyor belt 102 and form a material movement channel between the two longitudinal baffles 105 to prevent the medicine bottles from falling laterally during the lifting process.

[0043] To improve the accuracy of the material drop position, the longitudinal baffle plate 105 is provided with a bend at one end near the feeding conveyor belt 103. The discharge port 106 formed by the bend is arranged opposite to the belt surface of the feeding conveyor belt 103, and the medicine bottle falls onto the feeding conveyor belt 103 through the discharge port 106.

[0044] The lifting conveyor belt 102 has multiple transverse baffles 107 spaced apart on its surface. Each transverse baffle 107 is arranged along the movement direction of the lifting conveyor belt 102 to ensure that the medicine bottle will not slide down during the lifting process.

[0045] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 100 further includes a reversing mechanism, which is disposed between the inlet end of the feeding channel and the outlet end of the lifting conveyor belt 102. The reversing mechanism swings on the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 103 to connect or disconnect the inlet end of the feeding channel and the outlet end of the lifting conveyor belt 102.

[0046] Taking a device with two feeding channels corresponding to two oscillating discs 200 as an example, during operation, the material height inside the oscillating disc 200 is obtained by the material level detection sensor 111 installed above the oscillating disc 200. When both oscillating discs 200 are not full, the reversing mechanism swings to the position where both feeding channels are open, so that the feed ends of both feeding channels are connected to their respective oscillating discs 200, allowing medicine bottles to enter both oscillating discs 200. When one oscillating disc 200 is full and the other is not full, the reversing mechanism swings to the position where the feeding channel corresponding to the full oscillating disc 200 is closed and the feeding channel corresponding to the not full oscillating disc 200 is open, so that medicine bottles can only enter the not full oscillating disc 200.

[0047] Specifically, the reversing mechanism includes a mounting base 108, a reversing power component, and a movable plate 110; wherein, the mounting base 108 is fixed to the frame of the feeding conveyor belt 103, and the reversing power component is disposed on the mounting base 108; the mounting base 108 is the fixed part of the reversing mechanism, which is fixed to the frame of the feeding conveyor belt 103 and provides stable support for the reversing power component and the movable plate 110; the mounting base 108 is usually made of a sturdy material to ensure stability during the operation of the reversing mechanism, without displacement or vibration, and the mounting base 108 may have holes or grooves for fixing the reversing power component and the movable plate 110.

[0048] The reversing power component is the power source for the reversing mechanism, responsible for driving the rotation of the movable plate 110, thereby controlling the position of the baffle 104. The reversing power component can be a telescopic cylinder 109, with its cylinder barrel mounted on the mounting base 108 and its cylinder rod mounted on the movable plate 110. Theoretically, the reversing power component can also be a motor or other type of drive device; when it is necessary to change the flow direction of the medicine bottle, the reversing power component is activated and drives the movable plate 110 to rotate.

[0049] One end of the movable plate 110 is driven by the reversing power component, and the other end is rotatably connected to the baffle 104. Driven by the reversing power component, the movable plate 110 rotates relative to the baffle 104, thereby connecting or disconnecting the feed end of each feeding channel with the discharge end of the lifting conveyor belt 102. The movable plate 110 is a key component in the reversing mechanism. It connects the reversing power component and the baffle 104, and its rotation adjusts the position of the baffle 104, controlling the flow direction of the medicine bottles. One end of the movable plate 110 is driven by the reversing power component, and the other end is rotatably connected to the baffle 104. When the reversing power component drives the movable plate 110 to rotate, the movable plate 110 will drive the baffle 104 to rotate, thereby changing the connection state between the feed end of the feeding channel and the discharge end of the lifting conveyor belt 102. The rotation range of the movable plate 110 can be 0°-180°, depending on the design requirements and the flow direction of the medicine bottles.

[0050] In the above specific embodiment, during operation, the medicine bottles to be processed are placed in the hopper 101, which is a container for storing medicine bottles awaiting further processing. The feed end of the lifting conveyor assembly is located in the hopper 101. The lifting conveyor belt 102 moves under the drive of the lifting conveyor power component, causing the medicine bottles to move away from the hopper 101 along with the conveyor belt. The medicine bottles are lifted from the hopper 101 to a higher position and transferred from the lifting conveyor belt 102 to the feeding conveyor belt 103, and then move towards the vibrating plate 200 along with the feeding conveyor belt 103. The feeding channel guides the medicine bottles to different vibrating plates 200. The feed end of each feeding channel is connected to or disconnected from the discharge end of the lifting conveyor belt 102. The flow of medicine bottles to the target vibrating plate 200 is controlled as needed to complete the synchronous or partial feeding of multiple vibrating plates 200.

[0051] In this way, the working process of the feeding mechanism 100 is a continuous process. It takes the medicine bottles out of the hopper 101, and through lifting and conveying, it finally sends the medicine bottles into the vibrating plate 200 for sorting. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of medicine bottle processing, reduces manual operation, lowers the error rate, realizes automatic feeding, and improves feeding efficiency.

[0052] In addition to the aforementioned feeding mechanism 100, the present invention also provides a vibrating material handling device including the feeding mechanism 100. For the structure of other parts of the vibrating material handling device, please refer to the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made on the basis of the technical solution of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
