[0002] In the production processes of the pharmaceutical, chemical, or food industries, solvent bottles (such as vials and ampoules) often need to be transferred between different processes. For example, solvent bottles may need to be transferred between filling, sealing, sterilization, labeling, and packaging stages, which are distributed across different production lines or conveyor belts at different heights.

[0003] Traditional solvent bottle conveying systems rely on operators manually moving solvent bottles from one conveyor belt to another. This method is not only inefficient and increases labor costs, but it is also prone to human error, leading to bottles tipping over, breaking, or becoming contaminated, thus affecting production quality.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a tail guide mechanism, including a frame, a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt, the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt being fixedly mounted on the frame vertically, the frame being rotatably connected to a guide component, the guide component having a guide groove, the opening of the guide groove alternately engaging the output end of the first conveyor belt and the input end of the second conveyor belt.

[0006] Preferably, the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt are arranged vertically, and the output end of the first conveyor belt, the input end of the second conveyor belt, and the rotation center of the guide assembly form an acute triangle.

[0007] Preferably, the guide assembly includes a carrier plate and several slide rails. The carrier plate is rotatably connected to the frame, and the slide rails are fixedly connected to the carrier plate radially. The slide rails include a throughput end away from the rotation center of the carrier plate, and the output end of the first conveyor belt and the input end of the second conveyor belt are both close to the throughput end to form a channel connection.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting end of the slide rail near the rotation center of the bearing disk has a limiting baffle protruding from the limiting end.

[0009] Preferably, the sidewall of the slide rail is fixed with a pair of guide baffles, and the pair of guide baffles and the limiting baffles form a "U"-shaped guide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the first conveyor belt is inclined toward the guide assembly, and the second conveyor belt is horizontal.

[0011] Preferably, the frame is fixedly equipped with a first drive motor, and the output shaft of the first drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the bearing disk.

[0012] Preferably, the frame is fixedly equipped with a second drive motor and a third drive motor. The second drive motor drives the first conveyor belt to run via belt drive, and the third drive motor drives the second conveyor belt to run via belt drive. The running direction of the first conveyor belt is opposite to that of the second conveyor belt.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] With the automatic rotation switching function of the guide component, the solvent bottle can autonomously complete the height change under the power and gravity of the conveyor belt, smoothly transferring the solvent bottle from the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt and transporting it to the target area. This avoids the efficiency limitations caused by manual transfer and eliminates the risk of tipping caused by manual handling, thereby greatly improving the stability and efficiency of solvent bottle transfer.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] As shown in the figure, a tail guide mechanism includes a frame 1, a first conveyor belt 2, and a second conveyor belt 3. The first conveyor belt 2 and the second conveyor belt 3 are fixedly mounted vertically on the frame 1. A guide assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The guide assembly 4 has guide grooves 41, the openings of which alternately engage with the output end of the first conveyor belt 2 and the input end of the second conveyor belt 3. When the output end of the first conveyor belt 2 engages with the guide groove 41, the first conveyor belt 2 transports the solvent bottle into the guide groove 41. The guide assembly 4 rotates, and when the guide groove 41 engages with the input end of the second conveyor belt 3, the solvent bottle in the guide groove 41 is transported onto the second conveyor belt 3 and then transported by the second conveyor belt 3 to the target area.

[0025] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is a frame structure constructed from profiles. The first conveyor belt 2 includes a first fixing part 21 and a first conveying part 22. The first fixing part 21 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. Preferably, both sides of the first fixing part 21 are fixedly connected to the frame 1 to improve the stability of the first fixing part 21. The first transmission part rotates around the first fixing part 21. The end of the first fixing part 21 near the guide assembly 4 is the output end of the first conveyor belt 2. The first transmission part is used to carry the solvent bottle and convey it to the guide assembly 4. Preferably, the first fixing part 21 is inclined towards the guide assembly 4. More preferably, the angle of inclination of the first fixing part 21 towards the guide assembly 4 is 15°, so that the solvent bottle enters the guide assembly 4 at a certain angle, avoiding the risk of tipping over due to excessive angle change of the solvent bottle when entering the guide assembly 4. The frame 1 is equipped with a second drive motor 23. The housing of the second drive motor 23 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The second drive motor 23 controls the sliding of the first transmission part relative to the first fixed part 21 through belt gear transmission, so as to continuously provide power for conveying the solvent bottle.

[0026] The first conveyor belt 2 and the second conveyor belt 3 are arranged vertically. Preferably, the output end of the first conveyor belt 2 and the input end of the second conveyor belt 3 are on the same vertical plane. The output end of the first conveyor belt 2, the input end of the second conveyor belt 3 and the rotation center of the guide component 4 form an acute triangle to ensure that the guide component 4 can accurately receive the solvent bottle of the first conveyor belt 2 and accurately transport the solvent bottle to the second conveyor belt 3.

[0027] The guide assembly 4 includes a first drive motor 42, a support plate 43, and several slide rails 44. The support plate 43 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The housing of the first drive motor 42 is fixed to the frame 1. The output shaft of the first drive motor 42 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the support plate 43. The support plate 43 is arranged in a vertical direction. Several slide rails 44 are arranged in a circumferential array and fixed on the same side of the support plate 43. The slide rails 44 are arranged radially along the support plate 43.

[0028] Preferably, there are four slide rails 44, and the included angle between any two adjacent slide rails 44 is 90°. More preferably, when one slide rail 44 is connected to the output end of the first conveyor belt 2, the other slide rail 44 located below it is connected to the input end of the second conveyor belt 3. At this time, the slide rail 44 connected to the first conveyor belt 2 is inclined upward, so that the solvent bottle located on the slide rail 44 can slide under the action of gravity to a position close to the rotation center of the support plate 43. At the same time, the slide rail 44 connected to the second conveyor belt 3 is inclined downward, so that the solvent bottle located on the slide rail 44 can slide from the slide rail 44 onto the second conveyor belt 3 under the action of gravity.

[0029] The slide rail 44 has a protruding limiting baffle 45 and a guide baffle 46. The slide rail 44 includes an inlet end away from the rotation center of the support plate 43 and a limiting end near the rotation center of the support plate 43. The limiting baffle 45 is fixed to the limiting end of the support plate 43, and the inlet end allows the solvent bottle to enter or leave the slide rail 44. The guide baffles 46 are fixed in pairs to the side of the slide rail 44, and the pair of guide baffles 46 and the limiting baffles 45 form a "U"-shaped guide groove 41. In this embodiment, the two guide baffles 46 are arranged in parallel; in other embodiments, the two guide baffles 46 are arranged in a trumpet-shaped inclined manner.

[0030] The second conveyor belt 3 includes a second fixing part 31 and a second conveying part 32. The second fixing part 31 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and is located below the first fixing part 21, with a certain space between the first fixing part 21 and the second fixing part 31. Preferably, both sides of the second fixing part 31 are fixedly connected to the frame 1 to improve the stability of the second fixing part 31. The second transmission part rotates around the second fixing part 31. The two ends of the second fixing part 31 near the guide assembly 4 are the output ends of the second conveyor belt 3. The guide assembly 4 conveys the solvent bottle to the second transmission part, and the second transmission part conveys the solvent bottle to the target area. Preferably, the second fixing part 31 is horizontally arranged so that the solvent bottle is smoothly conveyed to the target area. The frame 1 is provided with a third drive motor 33. The housing of the third drive motor 33 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The third drive motor 33 controls the sliding of the second transmission part relative to the second fixing part 31 through belt and gear transmission, continuously providing power for conveying the solvent bottle.

[0031] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
