Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical transportation technology, and in particular to a pharmaceutical labeling, sorting and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] In the sophisticated process of pharmaceutical production and packaging, labeling plays a crucial role. It is not only a key link in the pharmaceutical identification and traceability system, but also a robust safeguard ensuring the safety and compliance of pharmaceuticals throughout the complex distribution chain. However, despite significant advancements in existing pharmaceutical labeling devices and technologies, a series of pressing problems and challenges remain to be addressed in the critical step of sorting and dispensing.

[0003] First, after labeling, the medicines must fall accurately into the material box. However, due to the diversity of medicines' shapes, sizes, and materials, and the difficulty in precisely controlling their movement on the conveyor belt after labeling, unavoidable impacts and collisions often occur when the medicines fall into the material box. This physical impact can not only damage the medicine packaging but may also affect the quality and safety of the medicine itself, posing potential risks to its subsequent use.

[0004] Secondly, the transfer process of the material boxes also faces the dual challenges of efficiency and stability. In the existing drug labeling, sorting, and unloading process, the transfer of material boxes often relies on manual labor or semi-automated mechanical equipment. These devices may suffer from insufficient precision and slow response times, leading to instability such as shaking, tilting, or even falling of the material boxes during transfer. This not only reduces the efficiency of the entire production line but may also cause secondary damage to the drugs, increasing production costs and quality risks.

[0005] Therefore, this application develops a drug labeling, sorting and feeding device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drug labeling, sorting, and feeding device to solve the problems in the existing technology.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is: a drug labeling, sorting, and feeding device, comprising:

[0008] A labeling device, the labeling device including a first conveyor belt disposed inside the labeling device for conveying medicines;

[0009] A conveying device, comprising a support frame, a second conveyor belt and a third conveyor belt, wherein the support frame is located in the forward direction of the first conveyor belt, the second conveyor belt and the third conveyor belt are respectively disposed at the upper bottom and the lower bottom of the support frame, and a material box is stacked between the second conveyor belt and the third conveyor belt;

[0010] A lifting device is located between the conveying device and the labeling device. The lifting device includes a second driving member and a lifting plate. The lifting plate supports the material box to move up and down under the drive of the second driving member and receives the medicine removed from the labeling device.

[0011] The feeding device includes a driving device and a clamping structure. The driving device is mounted on the support frame, and the clamping structure is located above the second conveyor belt. The driving device drives the clamping structure to move the material box containing medicine on the lifting device to the second conveyor belt.

[0012] A sensor, fixed on the support frame and located above the lifting device, is used to detect whether any medicine has fallen off the labeling device.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping structure includes a first driving member, a driving rod, and a pair of clamping parts. The driving rod is connected to the driving end of the first driving member and is arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt. The pair of clamping parts are respectively threaded to both ends of the driving rod and located on both sides of the second conveyor belt along the conveying direction. The outer wall surface of the driving rod is provided with threads in opposite directions of rotation. When the driving rod rotates, the pair of clamping parts move away from or closer to each other.

[0014] Preferably, the top periphery of the material box extends outward to form a mounting portion, and the bottom of each pair of gripping portions extends towards the second conveyor belt to form a receiving portion. When the gripping portion performs a gripping action, the receiving portion supports the mounting portion below.

[0015] Preferably, the third conveyor belt is hollow in the middle, and baffles are provided on both sides of the conveying direction of the third conveyor belt, and the baffles match the side walls of the material box.

[0016] Preferably, a transition belt is provided between the lifting device and the first conveyor belt, with gaps at both ends of the transition belt between the first conveyor belt and the lifting device, and the transition belt is at the same horizontal plane as the first conveyor belt and higher than the lifting device.

[0017] Preferably, the height of the sensor is higher than the lifting device but lower than the height of the transition zone.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0019] (1) The clamping structure adopts the design of a first driving member, a driving rod and a pair of clamping parts. The clamping parts move closer or further apart by rotating the driving rod, so as to clamp the material box quickly and accurately. At the same time, the receiving part at the bottom of the clamping part matches the mounting part at the top of the material box, which increases the stability of clamping, reduces the risk of damage to the material box by the clamping force, and improves the efficiency of the clamping process.

[0020] (2) The transition belt provides a smooth transition area between the medicine and the first conveyor belt and the lifting device, avoiding the impact and vibration caused by the medicine falling directly onto the lifting device. At the same time, the gap between the transition belt and the first conveyor belt and the lifting device acts as a buffer, reducing the wear of the medicine on the conveyor belt and the lifting device and preventing direct collision between the medicine and the lifting device.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0029] like Figures 1-5As shown, a pharmaceutical labeling, sorting, and unloading device includes a labeling device 1, a conveying device 2, a lifting device 3, an unloading device 4, and a sensor 5. The labeling device 1 has a first conveyor belt 11, on which pharmaceuticals are placed and moved. Simultaneously, the labeling device 1 labels the pharmaceuticals. The conveying device 2 includes a support frame 21, a second conveyor belt 22, and a third conveyor belt 23. The unloading device 4 includes a drive device 41 and a clamping structure 42. The lifting device 3 includes a second drive component 31 and a lifting plate 32. The lifting device 3 is positioned between the labeling device 1 and the conveying device 2. Material boxes 24 are stacked on the third conveyor belt 23, which conveys the stacked material boxes 24 to the lifting plate 32. When a pharmaceutical product detaches from the first conveyor belt 11, it falls into the material box 24. At this time, the drive device 41 drives the clamping structure 42 to clamp the material box 24 containing the pharmaceuticals and move it to the lifting plate 32. On the second conveyor belt 22, the material box 24 is moved to the next process. As the material box 24 stacked on the lifting plate 32 gradually decreases, the second drive unit 31 drives the lifting plate 32 to rise, preventing the height difference between the medicine and the material box 24 from being too large. As the material box 24 gradually decreases, the rise of the lifting plate 32 can dynamically adapt to the height of the remaining material box 24, ensuring that the medicine can fall accurately into the material box 24, avoiding the medicine being impacted or squeezed when falling into the material box 24 due to the excessive height difference, thus affecting its integrity and quality. The sensor 5 is located at the top of the lifting device 3 and is higher than the height of the topmost material box 24, but lower than the height of the first conveyor belt 11. When the medicine falls from the first conveyor belt 11, it will pass through the sensor 5. The sensor 5 can detect that the medicine has fallen into the material box 24, and thus feed back to the drive unit 41, which quickly clamps the material box 24 onto the second conveyor belt 22.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the third conveyor belt 23 is hollow in the middle, and baffles 231 are provided on both sides of the conveying direction of the third conveyor belt 23. The baffles 231 match the side walls of the material box 24. The hollow design allows the conveyor belt to reduce unnecessary contact with the bottom of the material box 24 when transporting materials, thereby reducing friction and resistance, and ensuring that the material box 24 can move smoothly and quickly. The baffles 231 on both sides can prevent the material box 24 from falling due to shaking or tilting during the transmission process, ensuring the safe transmission of the material box 24. The baffles 231 not only play a role in stabilizing the materials, but also guide the movement direction of the material box 24. When the material box 24 moves along the conveyor belt, the baffles 231 can ensure that they move along the predetermined path and avoid deviating from the track or colliding with each other.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the clamping structure 42 includes a first driving member 421, a driving rod 422, and a pair of clamping parts 423. The driving end of the first driving member 421 is connected to the driving rod 422, and the two ends of the driving rod 422 are respectively provided with clamping parts 423. The driving rod 422 is arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 22. The pair of clamping parts 423 are respectively threaded to the two ends of the driving rod 422 and located on both sides of the second conveyor belt 22 along the conveying direction. The outer wall surface of the driving rod 422 is provided with threads in opposite directions of rotation. When the drive rod 422 rotates, the pair of gripping parts 423 move away from or closer to each other. The rotation of the drive rod 422 can bring the pair of gripping parts 423 closer to each other, thereby gripping the items located on the second conveyor belt 22. Conversely, when the drive rod 422 rotates in the opposite direction, the gripping parts 423 can move away from each other, releasing the gripped items. The drive rod 422 is set perpendicular to the conveyor belt, which allows the gripping parts 423 to provide better stability and support when gripping items, preventing items from slipping or being damaged during the gripping process.

[0032] Furthermore, the top periphery of the material box 24 extends outward to form a mounting portion 241, and the bottom of each pair of gripping portions 423 extends towards the second conveyor belt 22 to form a receiving portion 424. When the gripping portion 423 performs a gripping action, the receiving portion 424 supports the mounting portion 241. The receiving portion 424 provides a stable support point for the gripping portion 423 when gripping the material box 24. When the gripping portion 423 moves downward and contacts the mounting portion 241, the receiving portion 424 can support the bottom of the mounting portion 241, thereby increasing the stability of the gripping and preventing the material box 24 from slipping or tilting during the gripping process. In addition, the cooperation between the receiving portion 424 and the mounting portion 241 can reduce the gripping force on the material box 24 during the gripping process, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the material box 24. At the same time, the gripping portion 423 can complete the gripping action more quickly and accurately, reducing the gripping time and improving the efficiency of the entire gripping process.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, to prevent damage from the impact of falling medicines, a transition belt 6 is provided between the lifting device 3 and the first conveyor belt 11. The two ends of the transition belt 6 have gaps with the first conveyor belt 11 and the lifting device 3, respectively. The transition belt 6 is on the same horizontal plane as the first conveyor belt 11 and is higher than the lifting device 3. The transition belt 6 provides a smooth transition area between the first conveyor belt 11 and the lifting device 3. When the material is conveyed from the first conveyor belt 11 to the transition belt 6, it can maintain its original speed and direction and then gradually transition to the lifting device 3, avoiding the impact and vibration caused by the material falling directly onto the lifting device 3. Simultaneously, the gaps between the transition belt 6 and the first conveyor belt 11 and the lifting device 3 act as a buffer. When the material is conveyed from the first conveyor belt 11 to the transition belt 6, the gaps can absorb some of the impact force, reducing wear on the conveyor belt and the lifting device 3. When the lifting device 3 rises or falls, the gaps can also prevent direct collision between the material and the lifting device 3.
