Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical packaging equipment, specifically relating to a card issuing machine that can continuously distribute multiple drug instruction manuals into a single instruction manual on a pharmaceutical packaging production line. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, instruction leaflet dispensers used on pharmaceutical packaging production lines often experience difficulties in dispensing due to adhesion between adjacent leaflets, or minor jamming at the leaflet outlet affecting the suction cup's ability to pick up individual leaflets. This frequent disruption to the pickup or dispensing of individual leaflets triggers alarms and shutdowns on the production line, and is difficult to troubleshoot. Furthermore, the thickness and size of leaflets for different drugs often vary, and existing leaflet dispensers are not directly compatible with different sizes. Each size requires separate debugging, which is time-consuming, unstable, and severely impacts production planning and capacity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drug instruction manual dispensing machine that, based on existing technology, provides high dispensing efficiency, does not affect the suction cup's ability to pick up individual instruction manuals, can adapt to instruction manuals of different sizes, and is easy to adjust.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0005] A drug instruction manual card issuing machine, comprising:

[0006] The feeding device includes a feeder, the main body of which is a vertically or obliquely arranged trough for loading multiple stacked drug instruction manuals, and the bottom plate of the feeder is arc-shaped;

[0007] The instruction manual vibration device includes a vibration silicone baffle and a vibrator. The vibration silicone baffle is located in front of and below the drug instruction manual outlet at the bottom of the feeding device. The vibration silicone baffle has an arc-shaped vibration slope for blocking the drug instructions manuals and causing them to change from longitudinal to lateral movement. The vibrator is connected to the vibration silicone baffle through a vibration connector to make the vibration silicone baffle vibrate.

[0008] A separating device includes a separating belt and an arc-shaped separating pressure plate. The separating belt is located directly below the drug instruction leaflet outlet of the feeding device to drive the drug instruction leaflets laterally. The arc-shaped separating pressure plate is located below and behind the drug instruction leaflet outlet of the feeding device. The arc-shaped separating pressure plate has an arc-shaped separating ramp for blocking the other side of the drug instruction leaflets, causing them to change from longitudinal to lateral movement. The drug instruction leaflets at the drug instruction leaflet outlet of the feeding device are placed between the arc-shaped oscillating ramp and the arc-shaped separating ramp. A conveying gap is left between the arc-shaped separating ramp and the upper surface of the separating belt, allowing only one drug instruction leaflet to pass through at a time.

[0009] A conveying device, located after the conveying gap, is used to transmit the outgoing individual drug instructions to subsequent processes.

[0010] In the drug instruction manual card issuing machine of this utility model, the feeder may include two side plates forming a groove and a groove-shaped bottom plate. The groove-shaped bottom plate is arc-shaped, and the side edges of the side plates are arc-shaped to match the groove-shaped bottom plate.

[0011] In the card issuing machine of this book, a feeder auxiliary rod can be provided at the slot of the feeder to hold the medicine instruction manual in the slotted feeder. The feeder auxiliary rod is smooth and strip-shaped, and there are one or more feeder auxiliary rods. The feeder auxiliary rod is connected to the side plate of the feeder through an auxiliary rod fixing member.

[0012] The drug instruction manual card issuing machine of this utility model can be equipped with a feeding monitoring probe in the middle or lower part of the feeder to monitor whether there is a drug instruction manual in the corresponding detection part inside the feeder.

[0013] In the drug instruction leaflet issuing machine of this utility model, a feeder width adjustment device and a feeder height adjustment device can be provided on the feeder. The feeder width adjustment device is used to adjust the width of the feeder groove, and the feeder height adjustment device is used to adjust the distance between the drug instruction leaflet outlet of the feeder and the separating belt.

[0014] The drug instruction manual card issuing machine of this utility model may also include an operating table, with a vibrating connector fixedly connected to the operating table by a vibrating fixing member; a feeding device and a separating device are respectively set on the operating table.

[0015] In this invention, the distance between the arc-shaped oscillating inclined surface and the arc-shaped separating inclined surface is equal to or slightly greater than the width or length of the drug instruction manual. The conveying direction of the separating belt is from the arc-shaped oscillating inclined surface to the arc-shaped separating inclined surface. The arc-shaped oscillating inclined surface faces upward and the lower part of the arc surface is located below the drug instruction manual. The inclined surface of the arc-shaped separating inclined surface faces downward and together with the arc-shaped oscillating inclined surface, they form a channel for the drug instruction manual to turn and move. The conveying gap formed between the arc-shaped separating inclined surface and the upper surface of the separating belt is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of a single drug instruction manual.

[0016] In the drug instruction leaflet issuing machine of this utility model, the separating device may include a separating wheel, which is an intermittently rotating silicone wheel located at or behind the conveying gap. The number of silicone wheels may be one or more, and the silicone wheels will separate the drug instruction leaflets that are continuously conveyed from the conveying gap by means of intermittent rotation.

[0017] In the drug instruction leaflet issuing machine of this utility model, the conveying device may include an upper conveyor belt and a lower conveyor belt, and there are two or more upper and lower conveyor belts. Between the upper and lower conveyor belts, there is a channel for conveying the drug instruction leaflets that are sent out from the conveying gap or from the separator wheel.

[0018] In the drug instruction leaflet issuing machine of this utility model, an upper conveyor monitoring probe for monitoring whether drug instruction leaflets are present can be installed on the upper conveyor belt, and a lower conveyor monitoring probe for monitoring whether drug instruction leaflets are present can be installed on the lower conveyor belt.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The drug instruction leaflet dispensing machine of this application can be compatible with instruction leaflets of different specifications, especially those of different thicknesses, by adjusting the width and height of the feeder, and particularly by adjusting the conveying gap between the arc-shaped dividing slope and the upper surface of the dividing belt. This reduces the debugging time required for changing different instruction leaflets and significantly improves the stability of the equipment. The feeding device and dividing device of this application smoothly convert the longitudinal movement of the instruction leaflets into lateral movement through the arc-shaped groove and two arc-shaped slopes, avoiding the abrupt L-shaped movement of stacked instruction leaflets. This ensures smooth distribution of instruction leaflets, minimizes mutual interference between them, and utilizes the gravity of multiple instruction leaflets to provide partial power for the distribution of a single instruction leaflet. In addition, the high-frequency vibration generated by the instruction leaflet vibration device further improves the distribution efficiency and is more conducive to the suction cup's picking up and packaging of individual instruction leaflets in subsequent processes.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0024] As shown in the figure, the drug instruction manual card issuing machine of this utility model includes a feeding device, an instruction manual vibration device, a separating device, and a conveying device, or may further include an operating table.

[0025] The feeding device includes a feeder, the main body of which is a vertically or obliquely oriented trough for holding multiple stacked drug instruction manuals. The trough-shaped bottom plate of the feeder is arc-shaped. Further, the feeder may include two side plates forming the trough shape and a trough-shaped bottom plate. The bottom plate is arc-shaped, and the sides of the side plates are arc-shaped to match the bottom plate. The arc-shaped bottom plate can pre-stagger the instruction manuals as they move downwards, making it easier to separate individual manuals and also better utilizing the downward force generated by the stacked manuals.

[0026] In one embodiment, an auxiliary rod for holding the drug instruction manual within the slotted feeder can be provided at the slotted opening of the feeder. This auxiliary rod is a smooth strip, and one or more auxiliary rods can be provided. The auxiliary rods are connected to the side plate of the feeder via auxiliary rod fasteners. Furthermore, a feeding monitoring probe can be provided in the middle or lower part of the feeder to monitor whether the drug instruction manual is present at the corresponding detection location within the feeder.

[0027] This card issuing machine can be equipped with a feeder width adjustment device and a feeder height adjustment device. The feeder width adjustment device is used to adjust the width of the feeder slot, specifically to adjust the distance between the two side plates using the existing adjustment device. The feeder height adjustment device is used to adjust the distance between the feeder's drug instruction manual outlet and the separating belt, which is also a way to adjust the size of the conveying gap between the curved separating slope and the upper surface of the separating belt.

[0028] The instruction manual vibration device in this apparatus includes a vibrating silicone baffle and a vibrator. The vibrating silicone baffle is located below and in front of the instruction manual outlet at the bottom of the feeding device. The vibrating silicone baffle has an arc-shaped vibrating slope that blocks the instruction manuals, causing them to change from longitudinal to lateral movement. The vibrator is connected to the vibrating silicone baffle via a vibration connector to generate vibration in the silicone baffle. The vibration connector can be fixedly connected to the operating table via a vibration fixing component; the feeding device and the separating device are respectively located on the operating table.

[0029] In this invention, the distance between the arc-shaped oscillating inclined surface and the arc-shaped separating inclined surface is equal to or slightly greater than the width or length of the drug instruction leaflet. These two inclined surfaces and the lower separating belt form a space before the instruction leaflet is distributed, adjusting the existing "L-shaped" instruction leaflet distribution path of the card dispenser to a "(" shape), making distribution smoother. The conveying direction of the separating belt is from the arc-shaped oscillating inclined surface to the arc-shaped separating inclined surface. The arc-shaped oscillating inclined surface faces upwards, and its lower part is located below the drug instruction leaflet. The downward-facing inclined surface of the arc-shaped separating inclined surface, together with the arc-shaped oscillating inclined surface, forms a channel for the drug instruction leaflet to turn and move. The conveying gap formed between the arc-shaped separating inclined surface and the upper surface of the separating belt is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of a single drug instruction leaflet. By quickly adjusting the height of the conveying gap, the distribution of instruction leaflets of different thicknesses can be quickly matched.

[0030] The separating device of this utility model includes a separating belt, an arc-shaped separating pressure plate, and a separating wheel. The separating belt is located directly below the drug instruction manual outlet of the feeding device to drive the drug instruction manuals to move laterally. The arc-shaped separating pressure plate is located behind and below the drug instruction manual outlet of the feeding device. The arc-shaped separating pressure plate has an arc-shaped separating slope to block the other side of the drug instruction manuals, causing them to change from longitudinal movement to lateral movement. The drug instruction manuals at the drug instruction manual outlet of the feeding device are placed between the arc-shaped vibrating slope and the arc-shaped separating slope. A conveying gap is left between the arc-shaped separating slope and the upper surface of the separating belt, allowing only one drug instruction manual to pass through.

[0031] The separating wheel in the separating device is an intermittently rotating silicone wheel located at or behind the conveying gap. There are one or more silicone wheels, which separate the drug instructions that are continuously conveyed from the conveying gap by means of intermittent rotation.

[0032] The conveying device in this application is located after the conveyor gap to transport individual drug instruction leaflets to subsequent processes. The conveying device may include an upper conveyor belt and a lower conveyor belt, with two or more upper and lower conveyor belts. A channel is provided between the upper and lower conveyor belts for conveying drug instruction leaflets transmitted from the conveyor gap or from the separator wheel. The conveying device may include an upper conveyor monitoring probe on the upper conveyor belt to monitor the presence or absence of drug instruction leaflets, and a lower conveyor monitoring probe on the lower conveyor belt to monitor the presence or absence of drug instruction leaflets.

[0033] In operation, this utility model's drug instruction leaflet issuing machine first loads a stack of drug instruction leaflets into the feeder. The width and height of the feeder are pre-adjusted to match the leaflet's thickness, and the conveyor gap is adjusted accordingly. Then, the vibrator is activated, causing the vibrating silicone baffle to vibrate and transmit the vibration to the stacked leaflets. The leaflets move downwards along the arc-shaped trough, gradually transitioning from longitudinal to lateral movement between the arc-shaped vibrating slope and the arc-shaped separating slope. Driven by the separating belt, individual leaflets are conveyed out through the conveyor gap. Each leaflet is first conveyed to below the separating wheel. With its intermittent rotation, consecutive leaflets are started and stopped, creating gaps between adjacent leaflets. Finally, the upper and lower conveyor belts in the conveying device transport the spaced individual leaflets to the subsequent production line, where one or more suction cups pick them up and transfer them to the cartoning production line.

[0034] Meanwhile, the feeding monitoring probe can monitor whether there are enough drug instruction leaflets in the feeder and whether more leaflets need to be added. The upper and lower conveyor monitoring probes can monitor whether a single drug instruction leaflet has been distributed, and can also monitor whether the spacing between two adjacent leaflets meets the design requirements.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
