Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medicine bottle production and transportation technology, specifically, it relates to a material transfer device for medicine bottle production. Background Technology
[0002] Oral liquid and vaccine transport bottles are common medical devices with very high requirements for quality and hygiene. During production and transport, these bottles typically need to be arranged from stacks of tightly packed bottles into neat rows, or even placed at intervals. However, the automation level of transport equipment is generally low, and manual or semi-manual processing has been used in the past. This is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also fails to guarantee the hygiene of the filled bottles, failing to meet standards and hindering widespread production. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a material transfer device for medicine bottle production, including a belt conveyor, a motor, and a screw rod. The width of the belt conveyor belt matches the diameter of the medicine bottle. The screw rod is parallel to one side truss of the belt conveyor, and a screw support and a motor support are provided on the truss corresponding to the screw rod. The left end of the screw rod is rotatably connected to the screw support, and the right end of the screw rod is drively connected to the output shaft of the motor. The housing of the motor is fixedly connected to the motor support. The diameters at both ends of the screw rod are the same as the width of the corresponding side truss, and the diameter at the center of the screw rod is slightly larger than the width of the corresponding side truss. The cross-section of the spiral groove of the screw rod matches the cross-sectional curvature of the medicine bottle. The spacing of the spiral grooves on the screw rod gradually increases from left to right. The medicine bottle is located in the spiral groove of the screw rod and is transported to the right as the screw rod rotates.
[0004] Furthermore, the side trusses of the belt conveyor closest to the medicine bottle have a smooth surface. The medicine bottle is held in the spiral groove of the screw rod and transported to the right as the screw rod rotates. During this process, the medicine bottle may move slightly on the belt conveyor. Therefore, the friction between the medicine bottle and the belt of the belt conveyor and the side trusses should be minimal. Thus, the inner side of the side trusses can be made of smooth stainless steel, and the belt of the belt conveyor can be made of flat rubber. This ensures that there is a certain amount of friction between the belt conveyor and the bottom of the medicine bottle to move the medicine bottle, and also facilitates the adjustment of the position of the medicine bottle.
[0005] Furthermore, a velvet layer is provided in the spiral groove of the screw rod. The medicine bottle is transported to the right as the spiral groove rotates. The medicine bottle commonly used in production is a glass bottle. In order to prevent the medicine bottle from cracking due to squeezing or collision between the medicine bottle and the screw rod, and to avoid scratching the side wall of the medicine bottle, a velvet layer is provided on the contact surface between the two.
[0006] Furthermore, the height of the screw rod is lower than the middle of the medicine bottle. If the height of the screw rod is set too high, it may touch the top of the medicine bottle during transportation, causing the medicine bottle to tip over to the right. This could cause the medicine to fall onto the belt conveyor, affecting the transfer and the resulting maintenance time, which would also affect production efficiency. Placing the screw rod in the lower middle part of the medicine bottle can reduce the risk of the medicine bottle tipping over.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper cover of the belt conveyor is equipped with a baffle, which is fixedly connected to the truss of the belt conveyor. The baffle is to prevent medicine bottles from being ejected from the belt conveyor if they are not properly positioned on the screw rod, thus avoiding accidental injury to operators and other equipment in the vicinity.
[0008] This invention also includes other devices or components that enable the material transfer equipment used in the production of the medicine bottle to function normally, all of which are conventional technologies in the field. Furthermore, the motors and belt conveyors not specified in this invention also employ conventional technologies in the field.
[0009] The working principle of this utility model is that the device fits the medicine bottle into the spiral groove of the spiral rod, and as the spiral rod rotates, it drives the medicine bottle to the right. The spacing of the spiral grooves on the spiral rod gradually increases from left to right, and the distance between the medicine bottles is also widened. When the medicine bottle passes the right side of the spiral rod, the medicine bottles have been separated, and the spacing between the medicine bottles can be adjusted by setting the spacing of the spiral grooves on the spiral rod.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are that the device can arrange a pile of medicine bottles that are close together into a neat row, and can be placed at a certain distance. The equipment has a high degree of automation, reduces manual handling or manual assistance, and is not only efficient, but also ensures the hygienic conditions of the filling bottles, which is conducive to the widespread production of medicine bottles.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a top view of the structure of this utility model.
[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0014] The present invention will now be clearly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This description is merely for explaining the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort to obtain all other embodiments should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0015] Example
[0016] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a material transfer device for producing medicine bottles, including a belt conveyor 1, a motor 2, and a screw rod 3. The width of the belt of the belt conveyor 1 matches the diameter of the medicine bottle. The screw rod 3 is parallel to one side truss of the belt conveyor 1, and a screw support 4 and a motor support 5 are provided on the truss corresponding to the screw rod 3. The left end of the screw rod 3 is rotatably connected to the screw support 4, and the right end of the screw rod 3 is drively connected to the output shaft of the motor 2. The housing of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the motor support 5. The diameters at both ends of the screw rod 3 are the same as the width of the corresponding side truss, and the diameter at the center of the screw rod 3 is slightly larger than the width of the corresponding side truss. The cross-section of the spiral groove of the screw rod 3 matches the cross-sectional curvature of the medicine bottle. The spacing of the spiral grooves on the screw rod 3 gradually increases from left to right. The medicine bottle is located in the spiral groove of the screw rod 3 and is transported to the right as the screw rod 3 rotates.
[0017] As a further measure of the utility model, the side of the two trusses of the belt conveyor 1 closest to the medicine bottle has a smooth surface. The medicine bottle is held in the spiral groove of the screw rod 3 and is transported to the right as the screw rod 3 rotates. During this process, the medicine bottle may move slightly on the belt conveyor 1. It is necessary to minimize the friction between the medicine bottle and the belt of the belt conveyor 1 and the two side trusses. Therefore, the inner side of the two side trusses can be made of smooth stainless steel, and the belt of the belt conveyor 1 can be made of flat rubber. This ensures that the belt conveyor 1 has a certain amount of friction with the bottom of the medicine bottle to move the medicine bottle, and also facilitates the adjustment of the medicine bottle's position. The spiral groove of the screw rod 3 is provided with a velvet layer (not shown in the figure). The medicine bottle is transported to the right as the spiral groove rotates. The most common medicine bottles in production are glass bottles. To prevent the glass bottle from cracking due to squeezing or collision between the medicine bottle and the screw rod 3, and to avoid scratching the side wall of the medicine bottle, a velvet layer is placed on the contact surface between the two. The height of the screw rod 3 is lower than the middle of the medicine bottle. If the height of the screw rod 3 is set too high, it may touch the top of the medicine bottle during transportation, causing the medicine bottle to tip to the right and spill onto the belt conveyor 1, thus affecting the transfer. The resulting maintenance time will also affect production efficiency. Placing the screw rod 3 in the lower middle part of the medicine bottle can reduce the risk of the medicine bottle tipping over. The upper side of the belt conveyor 1 is equipped with a baffle 6, which is fixedly connected to the truss of the belt conveyor 1. The baffle 6 is to prevent the medicine bottle from popping out of the belt conveyor 1 if it is not stuck in the correct position of the screw rod 3, thus avoiding accidental injury to the operator and other surrounding equipment.
[0018] The working principle of this utility model is that the device will fit the medicine bottle into the spiral groove of the spiral rod 3, and as the spiral rod 3 rotates, it will drive the medicine bottle to the right. The spacing of the spiral grooves on the spiral rod 3 gradually increases from left to right, and the distance between the medicine bottles is also increased. When the medicine bottle passes the right side of the spiral rod 3, the medicine bottles have been separated, and the spacing between the medicine bottles can be adjusted by setting the spacing of the spiral grooves on the spiral rod 3.
[0019] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
