Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the medicine bottle guiding mechanism provided in this embodiment includes a frame 100, a level sensor 400, a presser 600, and a screwdriver. A chain conveyor belt 200 is mounted on the frame 100, which can convey and transport medicine bottles. Specifically, a jig block 300 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the chain conveyor belt 200, and the medicine bottle to be guided is fixedly placed inside the jig block 300. Preferably, the chain conveyor belt 200 includes multiple hinged chain plates 210, and the upper surface of each chain plate 210 is fixedly connected to the jig block 300.
[0027] A horizontal support 500 is provided on the side of the chain conveyor belt 200, and a horizontal sensor 400 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal support 500. The horizontal sensor 400 is located above the medicine bottle. The horizontal sensor 400 can send a laser to one side of the chain conveyor belt 200 to detect whether the caps of the medicine bottles located on the chain conveyor belt 200 are screwed on and at the same height.
[0028] A presser 600 is also provided on the side of the chain conveyor belt 200. The presser 600 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the hydraulic cylinder 700. The hydraulic cylinder 700 is mounted on the side of the chain conveyor belt 200 via a mechanical bracket, and both the mechanical bracket and the hydraulic cylinder 700 are located on the side of the level sensor 400. In addition, the presser 600 is also located above the medicine bottle platform on the chain conveyor belt 200. The presser 600 can move downward under the control of the level sensor 400 to act on the cap of the medicine bottle.
[0029] In the embodiment, the screwing device comprises clamping plates 800 arranged on both sides of the chain conveyor 200, a plurality of rollers 810 are rotatably arranged on the opposite walls of the two clamping plates 800, and the plurality of rollers 810 are rotatable relative to the clamping plates 800. In addition, the plurality of rollers 810 are located above the walls of the clamping plates 800. In actual use, the plurality of rollers 810 are located above the same height of the bottle caps of the medicine bottles.
[0030] In the medicine bottle guiding mechanism provided in the embodiment, the medicine bottle after the cap screwing is fixedly placed in the jig block 300 of the chain conveyor 200, and the medicine bottle moves to the horizontal sensor 400 along with the chain conveyor 200. If the horizontal sensor 400 detects that the cap is not completely screwed and is inclined on the medicine bottle, the horizontal sensor 400 controls the hydraulic cylinder 700 of the pressing device 600 to move downward to press the cap through the pressing device 600, and then the medicine bottle and the cap are reprocessed by the screwing device. By using the above structure, the cap of the medicine bottle can be checked and screwed again, thereby facilitating the subsequent packaging of the medicine bottle.
[0031] In some embodiments, the mechanical support is a frame-shaped support, the mechanical support is horizontally arranged on the chain conveyor 200, and the top end of the mechanical support is higher than the overall height of the medicine bottle, so that the medicine bottle placed on the chain conveyor 200 can normally pass through the mechanical support to perform subsequent conveying and transporting work.
[0032] In some embodiments, a pneumatic cylinder 900 is fixedly arranged on the mechanical support, the driving end axis of the pneumatic cylinder 900 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the driving end of the pneumatic cylinder 900 is fixedly connected with the hydraulic cylinder 700, so that the pneumatic cylinder 900 can drive the pressing device 600 to move in the horizontal direction to meet different requirements of guiding the cap of the medicine bottle.
[0033] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the roller 810 can be further provided with a protrusion, and the roller 810 is in contact with the cap of the medicine bottle through the protrusion, so that the contact area between the roller 810 and the cap of the medicine bottle is increased, thereby facilitating the re-screwing of the cap on the medicine bottle through the roller 810.
[0034] In some embodiments, the clamping plate 800 can be provided with a motor for driving the rotation of the roller 810, and the accuracy of the screwing of the cap of the medicine bottle can be further improved through the driving of the motor.
