Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a regulator dispensing mechanism and assembly device. Background Technology
[0002] The regulator is a crucial component of an infusion set, comprising a regulator housing and a roller installed within the housing. The roller compresses the infusion tubing to control the flow rate of the medication. Traditional regulator assembly typically relies on manual installation of the roller into the housing; however, this method is inefficient and labor-intensive. Furthermore, manual assembly can lead to product contamination, which is detrimental to the manufacturing of medical devices.
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, people have conducted long-term explorations and proposed various solutions. For example, Chinese patent literature discloses an assembly device for an infusion set flow rate regulator [201410504452.3]. This assembly device includes a base, on which is provided a rotatable rotating seat. The rotating seat has a cavity that can accommodate a roller to be assembled. The roller in the cavity can rotate with the rotating seat. The base is also fixed with a feeding seat that can supply one roller to be assembled into the cavity of the rotating seat each time. The feeding seat is located above the rotating seat. The rotating seat is also provided with a push rod that can push the roller to be assembled in the cavity into the housing to be assembled after the rotating seat rotates to the correct position.
[0004] The above solution solves the problem of low work efficiency of existing manual assembly regulators to a certain extent. It can automatically sort, feed and assemble materials, and does not require manual assembly of rollers into the housing. It can greatly improve work efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity. However, the assembled regulator still needs to be checked manually to see if the rollers are installed and whether any extra rollers are installed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a regulator-based material distribution mechanism.
[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide an assembly device to address the aforementioned problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a material distribution mechanism for adjusting the material distribution, comprising a material distribution slide with a material distribution channel, wherein one end of the material distribution slide has a material distribution inlet connected to the material distribution channel and the other end has a single-wheel adjuster outlet connected to the material distribution channel, a double-wheel detection component is provided on the outer side of the material distribution inlet of the material distribution slide, a wheelless single-wheel adjuster material distribution component is provided on the material distribution slide, and a wheelless adjuster outlet connected to the material distribution channel is provided on one side of the material distribution slide.
[0008] In the above-mentioned regulating material distribution mechanism, the material distribution slide is arc-shaped and the material distribution inlet is formed at the upper end of the material distribution slide, while the single-wheel regulator outlet is located at the lower end of the material distribution slide, and the wheelless regulator outlet is formed on the outside of the material distribution slide.
[0009] In the aforementioned regulating material distribution mechanism, the material distribution slide includes two corresponding and arc-shaped material distribution hanging plates, and the material distribution channel is formed between the two material distribution hanging plates.
[0010] In the above-mentioned regulating material distribution mechanism, the material distribution inlet is formed between the upper ends of the material distribution hanging side plates, and the single-wheel regulator outlet is formed between the lower ends of the material distribution hanging side plates, while the wheelless regulator outlet is formed between the outer sides of the material distribution hanging side plates.
[0011] In the above-mentioned regulating material distribution mechanism, a material distribution frame is provided on one side of the material distribution slide, and the material distribution slide is set on one side of the material distribution frame through a slide fixing structure.
[0012] In the above-mentioned regulating material distribution mechanism, the slide rail fixing structure includes a slide rail fixing plate disposed on the side of the material distribution slide rail away from the material distribution frame. The slide rail fixing plate is fixedly connected to the material distribution frame through several connecting rods. The material distribution hanging plates are respectively fixedly disposed on the corresponding side of the material distribution frame and the slide rail fixing plate by mounting bolts, and the mounting bolts do not extend beyond the corresponding side of the material distribution hanging plates.
[0013] In the above-mentioned regulating material distribution mechanism, the dual-wheel detection assembly includes a dual-wheel detection cylinder disposed on one side of the upper end of the material distribution frame. The output rod of the dual-wheel detection cylinder is connected to a backing plate extending to the material distribution inlet side of the material distribution slide. A detection sensor connected to the dual-wheel detection cylinder is provided on one side of the backing plate.
[0014] In the aforementioned regulating material distribution mechanism, the wheelless single-wheel regulating material distribution assembly includes a material distribution limiting plate disposed on the inner side of one of the two material distribution hanging plates. The material distribution limiting plate is arc-shaped and extends from one end of the material distribution slide to the other end. A product extension groove communicating with the material distribution channel is formed between the material distribution limiting plate and the remaining material distribution hanging plate.
[0015] In the above-mentioned regulating material distribution mechanism, the material distribution limiting plate is mounted on one side of the material distribution hanging plate via a fixed seat and the material distribution limiting plate is perpendicular to the material distribution hanging plate. The other side of the material distribution limiting plate has a limiting abutment surface, and the product extension groove is formed on one side of the limiting abutment surface.
[0016] An assembly device having the above-mentioned regulator material distribution mechanism includes a regulator housing feed chute having an inlet and an outlet.

The outlet of the regulator housing feed chute is connected to the material distribution inlet of the material distribution chute, and the dual-wheel detection assembly is disposed between the outlet of the regulator housing feed chute and the material distribution inlet of the material distribution chute.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. When the back plate comes into contact with the extra rollers on the defective product, the back plate is pushed to the detection sensor. When the detection sensor automatically senses the double-wheel detection cylinder, it drives the back plate to retract. This enables the detection of defective products with double rollers through the double-wheel detection assembly.
[0019] 2. The single-roller regulator feeding assembly enables qualified products with a single roller to slide out from the single-roller regulator outlet, while unqualified products without rollers slide out from the wheelless regulator outlet, thus achieving automatic feeding of qualified products with single rollers and unqualified products without rollers.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a regulating material distribution mechanism includes a material distribution slide 1 with a material distribution channel 11. One end of the material distribution slide 1 has a material distribution inlet 12 connected to the material distribution channel 11, and the other end has a single-wheel regulator outlet 13 connected to the material distribution channel 11. A double-wheel detection assembly 2 is provided outside the material distribution inlet 12 of the material distribution slide 1. A wheelless single-wheel regulator distribution assembly 3 is provided on the material distribution slide 1, and a wheelless regulator outlet 14 connected to the material distribution channel 1 is provided on one side of the material distribution slide 1. The double-wheel detection assembly 2 detects unqualified products with double rollers, while the wheelless single-wheel regulator distribution assembly 3 allows qualified products with a single roller to slide out through the single-wheel regulator outlet 13, while unqualified products without rollers slide out through the wheelless regulator outlet 14, thus achieving automatic material distribution of qualified products with single rollers and unqualified products without rollers.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a properly assembled regulator, if it is a qualified product, should have a regulator housing 8 and a roller 9, such as... Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the assembled regulator is a defective product if it has two rollers 9 or no rollers 9.
[0031] As shown in 1-2, the material distribution slide 1 is arc-shaped, the material distribution inlet 12 is formed at the upper end of the material distribution slide 1, the single wheel adjuster outlet 13 is located at the lower end of the material distribution slide 1, and the wheelless adjuster outlet 14 is formed on the outside of the material distribution slide 1.
[0032] Preferably, the material distribution chute 1 includes two corresponding, arc-shaped material distribution side plates 15, with a material distribution channel 11 formed between the two side plates 15. The parallel and symmetrical arrangement of the side plates 15 allows the assembled adjuster to slide smoothly. The material distribution inlet 12 is formed between the upper ends of the side plates 15, the single-wheel adjuster outlet 13 is formed between the lower ends of the side plates 15, and the wheelless adjuster outlet 14 is formed between the outer sides of the side plates 15.
[0033] To secure the material distribution chute, a material distribution frame 4 is provided on one side of the material distribution chute 1, and the material distribution chute 1 is mounted on one side of the material distribution frame 4 via a chute fixing structure. Preferably, the chute fixing structure includes a chute fixing plate 41 located on the side of the material distribution chute 1 away from the material distribution frame 4. The chute fixing plate 41 is fixedly connected to the material distribution frame 4 via several connecting rods 42. The material distribution hanging plates 15 are respectively fixedly mounted on the corresponding side of the material distribution frame 4 and the chute fixing plate 41 via mounting bolts 43, and the mounting bolts 43 do not extend beyond the corresponding side of the material distribution hanging plates 15.
[0034] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the dual-wheel detection assembly 2 includes a dual-wheel detection cylinder 21 mounted on one side of the upper end of the distribution frame 4. A support plate 22 extending to the distribution inlet 12 of the distribution slide 1 is connected to the output rod of the dual-wheel detection cylinder 21. A detection sensor (not shown in the figure) connected to the dual-wheel detection cylinder 21 is located on one side of the support plate 22. Before the assembled regulator enters the distribution inlet 12, the support plate is extended. When it contacts the excess roller 9 on a defective product, the support plate 22 is pushed against the detection sensor. The detection sensor automatically senses this, and the dual-wheel detection cylinder 21 drives the support plate 22 to retract. Simultaneously, the machine automatically stops, and the defective product with double rollers is manually removed. This ensures that the regulator entering the distribution channel 11 is either a single roller or has no rollers, by detecting defective products with double rollers through the dual-wheel detection assembly.
[0035] The wheelless single-wheel adjuster distribution assembly 3 here includes a distribution limiting plate 31 disposed inside one of the two distribution hanging plates 15. The distribution limiting plate 31 is arc-shaped and extends from one end of the distribution slide 1 to the other end. A product extension groove 32 communicating with the distribution channel 11 is formed between the distribution limiting plate 31 and the remaining distribution hanging plate 15. The distribution limiting plate 31 is mounted on one side of the distribution hanging plate 15 by a fixing seat 33 and is perpendicular to the distribution hanging plate 15. The other side of the distribution limiting plate 31 has a limiting abutment surface 34, and the product extension groove 32 is formed on one side of the limiting abutment surface 34.
[0036] After assembly, the regulator enters the distribution chute 1. A regulator housing 8 with one roller 9 passes through the distribution chute 1, with one end of the housing 8 containing the roller 9 protruding from the product extension groove 21 into the distribution channel 11. At this point, the limiting abutment surface 34 abuts against the back of the end of the regulator housing 8 containing the roller 9, holding the regulator in place. A qualified regulator housing 8 with one roller 9 slides down the distribution chute 1 and exits through the single-roller regulator outlet 13 into the qualified product area. A regulator housing 8 without rollers 9 cannot be held in place; therefore, unqualified rollerless products slide out from the rollerless regulator outlet and fall into the defective product area.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] like Figures 3-6 As shown, an assembly device includes a regulator housing feed chute 5 with a feed inlet 51 and a discharge outlet 52. A roller feeding mechanism 6 and a roller pressure rod assembly 7 are provided on one side of the discharge outlet 52 of the regulator housing feed chute 5. The discharge outlet 52 of the regulator housing feed chute 5 is connected to the distribution inlet 12 of the distribution chute 1, and a dual-wheel detection assembly 2 is disposed between the discharge outlet 52 of the regulator housing feed chute 5 and the distribution inlet 12 of the distribution chute 1.
[0039] The regulator housing feed chute 5 is located at the upper end of the distribution chute 1 and is used to transport the regulator housing 8. The roller feeding mechanism 6 is located on the discharge side of the regulator housing feed chute 5 and is used to transport the roller 9. The regulator housing 8 and the roller 9 are assembled together under the action of the roller pressure rod assembly 7, and the double wheel detection assembly 2 detects whether the assembled regulator housing 8 has two rollers 9 before entering the distribution chute 1 for distribution processing.

Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0041] Although this document frequently uses terms such as material distribution chute 1, material distribution channel 11, material distribution inlet 12, single-wheel adjuster outlet 13, wheelless adjuster outlet 14, material distribution hanging plate 15, double-wheel detection assembly 2, double-wheel detection cylinder 21, backing plate 22, wheelless single-wheel adjuster material distribution assembly 3, material distribution limit plate 31, product extension groove 32, fixed seat 33, limit abutment surface 34, material distribution frame 4, chute fixing plate 41, connecting rod 42, mounting bolt 43, adjuster housing feed chute 5, feed port 51, discharge port 52, roller feed mechanism 6, and roller pressure rod assembly 7, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded.
