Five bottle separator plates 15 are arranged side by side on the bottle separator seat 13. Several through observation holes are provided on the bottle separator plates 15. The space between adjacent bottle separator plates 15 forms a channel for accommodating a single row of glass medicine bottles. The bottle separator seat 13 is equipped with a tail baffle 16 that blocks the tail end of the bottle separator plate 15. The bottle separator seat 13 is movably equipped with a front baffle 17 that blocks the front end of the bottle separator plate 15. The front baffle 17 is connected to the piston rod end of the front baffle cylinder 18 that is vertically downwardly arranged on the bottle separator seat 13.
[0030] A middle conveyor chain mechanism 19 is provided on the frame 1 next to the stacking chain mechanism 2, with its upper surface lower than the stacking chain mechanism 2 and its conveying direction perpendicular to the stacking chain mechanism 2. A tray holding medicine bottles is placed on the middle conveyor chain mechanism 19. Side guards that restrict the sides of the medicine bottles on the tray are provided on both sides of the middle conveyor chain mechanism 19 on the frame 1. A lifting seat 21 and a lifting power device 22 for driving the lifting seat 21 are provided on the discharge side of the middle conveyor chain mechanism 1 on the frame 1. The lifting power device 22 is a lifting cylinder mounted on the frame 1. A pair of tray-discharging chain mechanisms 23 are provided on the lifting seat 21 to stack and send out the trays containing medicine bottles.
[0031] The frame 1 is equipped with a bottle feeding conveyor chain that docks with the stacking chain plate mechanism 2. The frame 1 is equipped with a bottle counting and blocking mechanism 24 at the bottle outlet of the bottle feeding conveyor chain to count and control the conveying of medicine bottles sent to the bottle separator plates 15.
[0032] The bottle counting and blocking mechanism 24 includes two bottle feeding channels 30 mounted on the frame 1. Bottle blocking cylinders 25 are mounted on the side of the bottle feeding channels 30 and are perpendicular to the direction of bottle conveying. Bottle blocking blocks 26 are mounted on the piston rod end of the bottle blocking cylinders 25. A mounting shaft 27 is vertically mounted above the bottle feeding channels 30. A counting wheel 28 is rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft 27. The counting wheel 28 has four counting blades arranged in a cross shape. The counting blades are electrically connected to the counter 29.
[0033] A counting wheel 28 is rotatably mounted on a shaft 27. The counting wheel 28 has four counting blades arranged in a cross shape, and the counting blades are electrically connected to a counter 29.
[0034] The first bottle-pushing power unit, the second bottle-pushing power unit 20, the bottle-stacking moving mechanism, the adjusting cylinder 9, the switching cylinder 12, the reset cylinder 14, the front stop cylinder 18, the lifting power unit 22, the stacking chain plate mechanism 2, the middle conveying chain plate mechanism 19, the tray-discharging chain mechanism 23, the bottle-feeding conveyor chain, the bottle-stopping cylinder 25, and the counter 29 are all electrically connected to the control center.
[0035] During operation, the bottle conveyor chain transports the filled glass medicine bottles to the channel between the bottle partitions 15 on the stacking chain plate mechanism 2, which accommodates a single row of glass medicine bottles. When the number of medicine bottles in the channel reaches a set number, the piston rod of the bottle-stopping cylinder 25 extends, and the bottle-stopping block 26 on it presses down on the subsequent glass medicine bottles to stop the bottle feeding. The piston rod of the front-stopping cylinder 18 extends downward, causing the front baffle 17 to block the medicine bottles in the channel. The switching cylinder 12 drives the sliding seat 11 to move, switching to another channel for accommodating medicine bottles and aligning it with the guide plate assembly. The piston rod of the front-stopping cylinder 18 retracts upward, causing the front baffle 17 to open. The piston rod of the bottle-stopping cylinder 25 retracts, and the bottle conveyor chain continues to feed bottles into the new channel. Once the channel is full of medicine bottles, the piston rod of the bottle-blocking cylinder 25 extends, and the bottle-blocking block 26 on it presses down on the subsequent glass medicine bottles to stop the feeding. The piston rod of the front-blocking cylinder 18 extends downward so that the front baffle 17 blocks the medicine bottles in the channel. The bottle-counting electric actuator drives the bottle-counting frame 3 to move to the push plate 10 near the second pusher seat on the tray placed on the middle conveyor chain plate mechanism 19. Then, the reset cylinder 14 drives the bottle spacer seat 13 to move upward, arranging the medicine bottles at the pusher plate 10 of the second pusher seat 32. The bottle-counting electric actuator drives the bottle-counting frame 3 to reset, and the reset cylinder 14 drives the bottle spacer seat 13 to move downward back to its position. The piston rod of the front-blocking cylinder 18 retracts upward so that the front baffle 17 opens.
[0036] The process of loading medicine bottles into the channel is repeated again. After the channel is full, the medicine bottles are pushed together with the previous batch of medicine bottles. The bottling and pushing process is repeated until there are enough medicine bottles stacked together to fill a tray. The adjusting cylinder 9 drives the bottle pusher plate 10 to move upward. Then the first bottle pusher power device and the second power bottle pusher device drive the two bottle pusher plates 10 to move to both sides of the medicine bottle collection. Then the adjusting cylinder 9 drives the bottle pusher plate 10 to move downward, surrounding both sides of the medicine bottle collection. The two electric actuators and the middle output chain plate mechanism work together to move the tray and medicine bottle collection to the tray output chain mechanism 23.
[0037] Next, the lifting power device 22 drives the tray to descend, and the equipment enters the bottling operation of the next tray. The trays filled with medicine bottles are stacked on top of the previous tray; the operation is repeated; finally, the tray unloading chain mechanism 23 is activated to send the tray stack filled with medicine bottles into the next equipment (such as sterilization equipment).
[0038] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model, as well as some of its applications, and are not intended to limit this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
