Description

Technical Field

Over-tightening causes the stopper to compress the medication, resulting in it being squeezed out. Under-tightening leads to unstable engagement between the plunger and the stopper, posing a risk of the syringe falling off during transport. Therefore, a solution is urgently needed.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 This is a front view of a syringe screw mechanism according to the present invention; Figure 2 This is a top view of a syringe screw mechanism according to the present invention; Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a syringe screw mechanism according to the present invention.

[0022] In this embodiment, a syringe screwing mechanism includes a frame 1, on which a first motor 2 and a second motor 3 are fixedly mounted. Four first rotating shafts and three second rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The four first rotating shafts are driven to rotate by the first motor 2, and the three second rotating shafts are driven to rotate by the second motor 3. Each first rotating shaft is driven to connect a first screwing shaft 4, and a first screwing wheel 6 is connected to the first screwing shaft 4. Each second rotating shaft is driven to connect a second screwing shaft 5, and a second screwing wheel 7 is connected to the second screwing shaft 5.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first rotating shaft is connected to the first screw rod shaft 4 via a universal coupling 8, and the second rotating shaft is connected to the second screw rod shaft 5 via a universal coupling 8.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first screw shaft 4 is provided with a clamping assembly for pressing the first screw wheel 6 onto the syringe barrel, and the second screw shaft 5 is provided with a clamping assembly for pressing the second screw wheel 7 onto the syringe barrel.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a movable block 10. The frame 1 has a slot, the movable block 10 is disposed in the slot, and the movable block 10 can move radially along the first screw wheel 6. A clamping spring 9 is disposed between the movable block 10 and the slot wall. By providing the clamping spring 9, the first screw wheel 6 and the second screw wheel 7 can exert a pre-tightening force on the syringe barrel, while also preventing excessive clamping that could damage the syringe, thus providing a certain degree of protection.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, each first rotating shaft is fixedly equipped with a first rotating gear, and the first rotating gears on adjacent first rotating shafts are connected by a first transmission gear. A first drive gear 11 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the first motor 2, and the first drive gear 11 meshes with the first rotating gear on any one of the first rotating shafts.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, each second rotating shaft is fixedly equipped with a second rotating gear, and the second rotating gears on adjacent second rotating shafts are connected by a second transmission gear. A second drive gear 12 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor 3, and the second drive gear 12 meshes with the second rotating gear on any one of the second rotating shafts.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first screw wheel 6 and the second screw wheel 7 are rubber wheels to avoid damaging the syringe.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that, although in this embodiment, the first screw shaft 4 is set to 4 pieces and the second screw shaft 5 is set to 3 pieces, the present invention is not limited to this. This embodiment is a preferred solution after considering the actual production situation and cost.

[0030] During operation, the first motor 2 starts and drives the first screw-tightening wheel 6 to rotate. When the syringe passes through the first screw-tightening wheel 6, the rotating first screw-tightening wheel 6 comes into contact with the syringe barrel. Since the push rod is clamped and fixed, the syringe barrel can rotate relative to the push rod, thus tightening the screw. After tightening, a check is performed to see if there is any under-tightening or over-tightening. For syringes that are under-tightened, they enter the second screw-tightening stage. At this time, the second motor 3 starts and drives the second screw-tightening wheel 7 to rotate. The under-tightened syringes then pass through the second screw-tightening wheel 7 to achieve a second screw-tightening, ensuring screw-tightening accuracy. For syringes that are over-tightened, they can also be corrected through the second screw-tightening stage. At this time, the second motor 3 rotates to achieve correction, ensuring screw-tightening accuracy.

[0031] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
