[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding system for a vial tray into a cartoning machine, which includes a flat blister packer discharge conveyor 1. The flat blister packer discharge conveyor 1 is used to transport the vial trays discharged from the flat blister packer to this device. The flat blister packer discharge conveyor 1 is connected to the flat blister packer. The system also includes: a material handling and conveying assembly 2, a robotic arm assembly 3, and a cartoning machine product chain 5. The material handling and conveying assembly 2 is connected to the flat blister packer discharge conveyor 1 and is a material handling and conveying system for the vial trays. The system first processes the vial trays... This facilitates the subsequent handling of the vial trays by the robotic arm assembly 3. The cartoning machine product chain 5 is located at one end of the material handling and conveying assembly 2. The cartoning machine product chain 5 is used to transport the vial trays to the remaining structures. The robotic arm assembly 3 is placed beside the cartoning machine product chain 5. The robotic arm assembly 3 uses an adsorption device to transport the vial trays from the material handling and conveying assembly 2 to the waste chute 4 or the cartoning machine product chain 5. The material handling and conveying assembly 2 is used to sort the vial trays, and the robotic arm assembly 3 transports the vial trays to the cartoning machine product chain 5.

[0023] The flat blister packer discharge conveyor 1 transports the vial trays discharged from the flat blister packer to the sorting and conveying assembly 2. The sorting and conveying assembly 2 sorts and organizes the vial trays for subsequent handling. The robotic arm assembly 3 is located next to the cartoning machine's product chain 5. It uses a suction device to transport the vial trays processed by the sorting and conveying assembly 2 to the waste chute 4 or the cartoning machine's product chain 5 as needed. The cartoning machine's product chain 5 is responsible for transporting the received vial trays to the subsequent structure, thus realizing the feeding of vial trays into the cartoning machine.

[0024] The flat blister packer discharge conveyor 1 includes a centralized guide plate 6 and a pressure plate 7. The flat blister packer discharge conveyor 1 conveys a set of packaged vials to the centralized guide plate 6 and then, after passing through the pressure plate 7, merges them into a set of vials without gaps. The centralized guide plate 6 is used to limit the vials discharged from the flat blister packer. The pressure plate 7 flattens the vials and merges the vials into a set of vials without gaps.

[0025] The centralized guide plate 6 in the flat blister packer's discharge conveyor 1 limits the vial trays discharged from the flat blister packer, ensuring that a group of packaged vial trays enters in an orderly manner. Subsequently, the pressure plate 7 applies pressure to the vial trays, flattening them and merging them into a seamless group, which is then conveyed to the sorting conveyor assembly 2. The sorting conveyor assembly 2 sorts and organizes the vial trays for easy subsequent handling. The robotic arm assembly 3, located beside the cartoning machine's product chain 5, uses a suction device to transport the vial trays processed by the sorting conveyor assembly 2 to the waste chute 4 or the cartoning machine's product chain 5, according to actual needs. Finally, the cartoning machine's product chain 5 transports the received vial trays to the subsequent structure, successfully completing the vial tray feeding process into the cartoning machine.

[0026] The material handling and conveying assembly 2 includes a connecting slide 8, on which a material handling belt conveyor 9 and equally spaced guide plates 10 are mounted. The connecting slide 8 connects the flat blister pack machine discharge conveyor 1 and the material handling and conveying assembly 2. The material handling belt conveyor 9 drives the vial trays for subsequent movement. Guided by the equally spaced guide plates 10 mounted on the material handling belt conveyor 9, the vial trays are dispersed into a group of equally spaced vial trays. When they reach the positioning plate 12, the group of vial trays are positioned equally spaced and with their ends flush, triggering the sensor 11 to send a signal, causing the robotic arm assembly 3 to move and move the vial trays. After positioning, a set of vial trays is transported to the cartoning machine's product chain 5. The feeding conveyor belt 9 is used to move the vial trays. The equally spaced guide plates 10 limit the vial trays. The feeding conveyor assembly 2 is also equipped with a sensor 11 and a positioning plate 12. The sensor 11 is used to release signals to the robot arm assembly 3. The positioning plate 12 is used to limit and temporarily fix the vial trays so that a set of vial trays can reach a horizontal state, which is convenient for subsequent gripping by the robot arm assembly 3. The positioning plate 12 is used to position the vial trays, and the sensor 11 is used to transmit signals to the robot arm assembly 3.

[0027] The flat blister packer's discharge conveyor 1 transports vial trays to the connecting chute 8, which then transfers them to the feeding conveyor 9. The feeding conveyor 9 moves the vial trays, and during this process, equally spaced guide plates 10 limit and guide the vial trays, dispersing them into a group with equal spacing. When this group of vial trays moves to the positioning plate 12, it is temporarily fixed by the positioning plate 12, achieving a level and flush end state. At this point, the sensor 11 is triggered to send a signal. The robotic arm assembly 3, located beside the cartoning machine's product chain 5, receives the signal and activates, using a suction device to transport the positioned group of vial trays to the cartoning machine's product chain 5. The cartoning machine's product chain 5 then transports the vial trays to the subsequent structure, completing the feeding process of the vial trays into the cartoning machine.

[0028] The robotic arm assembly 3 includes a robot base 15, which supports the robot 13, ensuring that the robot 13 has sufficient space to move around next to the material handling and conveying assembly 2, and can also transfer the product clamping assembly 14 to transport vial trays. The robot 13 drives the product clamping assembly 14 and also drives the product clamping assembly 14 to operate, ensuring that the product clamping assembly 14 can transport vials after clamping the vial trays. The connecting section of the robot 13 is connected to the product clamping assembly 14, which is used to transport vials trays by suction.

[0029] The flat blister packer's discharge conveyor 1 transports vial trays to the sorting and conveying assembly 2, which sorts and organizes the vial trays. At this time, the robotic arm assembly 3, located beside the cartoning machine's product chain 5, begins operation, with robot 13 driving the connected product clamping assembly 14. When the product clamping assembly 14 moves above the vial trays processed by the sorting and conveying assembly 2, it clamps the vial trays using suction. Then, according to requirements, robot 13 drives the product clamping assembly 14 to transport the vial trays to the waste chute 4 or the cartoning machine's product chain 5. Finally, the cartoning machine's product chain 5 transports the received vial trays to subsequent structures, completing the feeding process of the vial trays into the cartoning machine.

[0030] Product clamp assembly 14 includes a vacuum suction cup 19 for handling vial trays, the vacuum suction cup 19 adsorbs the vial trays to handle them, and a connecting rod 18 for linking the vacuum suction cup 19. The connecting rod 18 is used to adjust the position of the vacuum suction cup 19 to ensure that the vacuum suction cup 19 is aligned with the vial tray. A linear guide rail 16 and a cylinder 17 are connected to the connecting rod 18. The cylinder 17 pushes the connecting rod 18 in one direction, thereby pushing the vacuum suction cup 19 on the linear guide rail 16 to adjust the position of the vacuum suction cup 19. The cylinder 17 pushes the connecting rod 18, and the connecting rod 18 is pushed by the cylinder 17 to move on the linear guide rail 16.

[0031] The product chain 5 of the cartoning machine is equipped with a waste chute 4 on one side. The vial tray on the material handling and conveying component 2 is inspected. After the defective products are detected, they are adsorbed by the robotic arm component 3 and then released onto the waste chute 4. The waste chute 4 is used to discharge the waste from the vial tray.

[0032] When the vial trays are used in the cartoning machine's feeding system, the vial trays discharged from the flat blister packer are limited by the centralized guide plate 6 of the flat blister packer's discharge conveyor 1, flattened by the pressure plate 7, and merged into a seamless group before being conveyed to the connecting chute 8. The connecting chute 8 transfers them to the material handling belt conveyor 9, where, guided by the equally spaced guide plates 10, the vial trays are dispersed into an equally spaced arrangement, reaching the positioning plate 12 where their ends are aligned and positioned, triggering the sensor 11 to send a signal. At this time, the robotic arm assembly 3 located next to the product chain 5 of the cartoning machine operates, with the robot base 15 driving the robot 13, which in turn drives the product clamping assembly 14. The cylinder 17 of the product clamping assembly 14 pushes the connecting rod 18, causing the vacuum suction cup 19 to move on the linear guide rail 16 and align with the vial tray, clamping it by suction. If the vial tray is defective, the robotic arm assembly 3 will transport it to the waste chute 4 for discharge; qualified vials will be transported to the cartoning machine product chain 5, and then transported to the subsequent structure to complete the feeding process.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
