Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical automation technology, and in particular to a linear sorting device for infusion soft bags or plastic bottles. Background Technology

[0002] Hospitals face a massive daily task of processing infusion bags and plastic bottles, making accurate and efficient sorting a crucial element in ensuring the smooth operation of medical services. Traditionally, the sorting of infusion bags and bottles has relied heavily on manual labor. This places a heavy burden on hospitals' manpower costs and is severely inefficient, failing to meet the urgent need for rapid turnover. Especially during peak periods, such as the morning rush for infusions, manual sorting cannot keep up with demand, easily leading to a large backlog of bags and bottles, negatively impacting patients' treatment progress. Furthermore, prolonged repetitive work easily causes staff fatigue, significantly increasing the probability of sorting errors. Sorting errors can lead to incorrect medication dispensing, posing serious risks to patients' treatment. To effectively address the drawbacks of manual sorting, automated sorting machines have emerged on the market; however, their complex structures result in high failure rates.

[0003] Therefore, providing a simple linear sorting device for infusion bags or plastic bottles is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0010] The material pushing mechanism is set up to correspond to the conveyor belt, so that the material can enter the upper or lower channel from the conveyor belt.

[0011] In some designs, there are two conveying channels, located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt perpendicular to the conveying direction.

[0012] In some designs, the switching mechanism includes a connecting part, a first driving element, and two support plates;

[0013] The connecting part is connected to the conveyor belt, and two support plates are respectively rotatably set on one side of the connecting part corresponding to the conveying channel;

[0016] In some designs, the connecting section has mounting plates on both sides of the conveyor belt width;

[0017] The connecting part has mounting plates distributed on both sides of the conveyor belt. The mounting plates are used to fix the conveyor belt, and the support plate is rotatably mounted on the mounting plates.

[0018] In some designs, the feeding mechanism includes a timing belt, a second drive unit, and a feeding block;

[0019] The synchronous belt is located above the conveyor belt and is connected to the feeding block;

[0020] The second drive unit is used to drive the synchronous belt to rotate, so that the material-pushing block pushes the material away from the conveyor belt.

[0027] In some solutions, the linear sorting device for infusion bags or plastic bottles also includes a position sensor, an identification module, and a control terminal;

[0028] The position sensor is used to obtain the position of the material on the conveyor belt, and the identification module is used to obtain material information and transmit the material information to the control terminal.

[0029] The control terminal controls the switching mechanism corresponding to the material's position on the conveyor belt to switch between the first and second states, so that the conveyor belt can be connected to the upper or lower channel.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0047] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and are not limited in number; for example, a first object can be one or more.

[0048] The inventors discovered in practical use that existing automated sorting machines typically use sorting tracks. As the core execution unit of the automated sorting machine, the complexity of the sorting track and the need for dynamic adjustment are significant reasons for its high failure rate. Sorting tracks are usually composed of mechanical components such as multi-stage diversion devices, movable baffles, and guide chutes. The sorting path needs to be adjusted in real time based on material size, weight, and destination information. This process relies on the precise coordination of high-precision sensor positioning and servo drive systems. In high-speed sorting scenarios, the frequent mechanical movements of the track components accelerate the aging of vulnerable parts such as gears and bearings. High-speed vibration and packaging friction can easily cause track misalignment or baffle jamming. Once a deviation occurs between the sorting logic and physical position, it can lead to material accumulation and sorting misalignment, or even trigger a protective shutdown of the system, significantly increasing maintenance difficulty and fault recovery costs.

[0049] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a detailed description of a linear sorting device for infusion soft bags or plastic bottles through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0050] This embodiment provides a linear sorting device for infusion bags or plastic bottles, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a conveyor belt 100, a conveying channel 200, a switching mechanism 300, and a pushing mechanism 400.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, the conveyor belt 100 extends from the near end to the far end for transporting materials. In this embodiment, the materials are infusion bags or plastic bottles, which will be used as examples in the following description.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveying channel 200 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 100 in the width direction. The conveying channel 200 includes an upper channel 210 and a lower channel 220. Through the upper channel 210 and the lower channel 220, infusion bags or plastic bottles are sorted according to usage requirements, thereby completing the classification of infusion bags or plastic bottles.

[0053] Naturally, the upper channel 210 is located above the lower channel 220. By utilizing the three-dimensional spatial layout through the upper channel 210 and the lower channel 220, the floor space occupied by the linear sorting device for infusion bags or plastic bottles is reduced.

[0054] like Figures 2-4As shown, the switching mechanism 300 is connected to the conveyor belt 100, enabling the conveyor belt 100 to connect with either the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220. The pushing mechanism 400 is configured corresponding to the conveyor belt 100, allowing materials to enter the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220 from the conveyor belt 100. During the sorting process, depending on the sorting requirements, the switching mechanism 300 can connect the conveyor belt 100 with either the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220. When the switching mechanism 300 connects the conveyor belt 100 with the upper channel 210, the pushing mechanism 400 allows the infusion bags or plastic bottles to enter the upper channel 210 from the conveyor belt 100; conversely, when the switching mechanism 300 connects the conveyor belt 100 with the lower channel 220, the pushing mechanism 400 allows the infusion bags or plastic bottles to enter the lower channel 220 from the conveyor belt 100, thereby completing the sorting of the infusion bags or plastic bottles.

[0055] Compared to the sorting tracks used in existing technologies, this embodiment uses a switching mechanism 300 to connect the conveyor belt 100 with the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220, and a pushing mechanism 400 to allow materials to enter the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220 from the conveyor belt 100. This structure is simpler and reduces the failure rate of the equipment.

[0056] In one embodiment, there is one conveying channel 200, which is located on the side of the conveyor belt 100 perpendicular to the conveying direction.

[0057] In one embodiment, there are two conveying channels 200, which are arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 100 perpendicular to the conveying direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, a preferred solution is to have two conveying channels 200. Compared to a single conveying channel 200, two conveying channels 200 can achieve more refined material control through spatial expansion and hierarchical classification logic. The double-sided layout expands the sorting direction from unidirectional to bidirectional. Combined with the vertical diversion of the upper and lower channels 220, it can simultaneously support the sorting of at least four types of infusion soft bags or plastic bottles, thereby improving sorting efficiency.

[0059] Accordingly, to further refine the sorting of infusion bags or plastic bottles, the conveyor channel 200 includes multiple upper channels 210 and multiple lower channels 220. Multiple switching mechanisms 300 and multiple pushing mechanisms 400 are also included, each corresponding to one of the upper channels 210 or lower channels 220. The multiple switching mechanisms 300 and the multiple pushing mechanisms 400 are arranged at intervals along the length of the conveyor belt 100. This arrangement maximizes the sorting efficiency of infusion bags or plastic bottles, enabling rapid sorting during peak hours, preventing the accumulation of infusion bags or plastic bottles, and minimizing the impact on patient treatment caused by such accumulation.

[0060] In this embodiment, the number of upper channels 210 and lower channels 220 in each conveying channel 200, as well as the number of switching mechanisms 300 and pushing mechanisms 400, can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more, and can be flexibly set according to the usage standards. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0061] As a preferred embodiment, the linear sorting device for infusion soft bags or plastic bottles also includes a position sensor, an identification module, and a control terminal.

[0062] A position sensor is used to acquire the position of the material on the conveyor belt 100, and an identification module is used to acquire material information and transmit the material information to the control terminal. The control terminal controls the switching mechanism 300 corresponding to the material position on the conveyor belt 100 to switch between a first state and a second state, so that the conveyor belt 100 is connected to the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220. The control terminal also controls the pushing mechanism 400 corresponding to the material position to drive the material from the conveyor belt 100 into the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220.

[0063] Specifically, the identification module is a barcode scanner, and each infusion bag or plastic bottle has a barcode. The barcode on the infusion bag or plastic bottle records information about the infusion bag or bottle, including but not limited to key information such as the patient's name, ward, and specifications / capacity parameters. By scanning the barcode on the infusion bag or plastic bottle with the identification module, the information of the infusion bag or plastic bottle is obtained, and then the infusion bag or plastic bottle is sorted to the corresponding upper channel 210 or lower channel 220 according to the sorting requirements.

[0064] It should be noted that the structure and electrical connection of the position sensor, identification module and control terminal in this embodiment are all existing technologies and are not improvements of this embodiment, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0065] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the upper channel 210 and the lower channel 220 are each equipped with a first storage basket 230. After passing through different upper channels 210 or different lower channels 220, the infusion bags or plastic bottles to be sorted on the conveyor belt 100 finally enter the corresponding first storage basket 230. The first storage basket 230 serves as a temporary storage buffer and directional sorting mechanism for the infusion bags or plastic bottles, facilitating the collection of the sorted infusion bags or plastic bottles.

[0066] In this embodiment, each of the multiple first storage baskets 230 is equipped with a display screen. The display screen is used to display information about the infusion bags or plastic bottles inside the first storage basket 230, such as material name, specifications, quantity, and the ward. Preferably, the display screen is an LCD screen, and the display interface can be customized according to user needs, thereby facilitating the modification of the displayed information according to sorting requirements to suit different sorting scenarios.

[0067] The end of the conveyor belt 100 is also provided with a second storage basket (not shown in the figure) for collecting infusion bags or plastic bottles on the conveyor belt 100 that cannot be identified.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the switching mechanism 300 includes a connecting part 380, a first driving member, and two support plates 310. The connecting part 380 is connected to the conveyor belt 100, and the two support plates 310 are rotatably disposed on one side of the connecting part 380 corresponding to the conveying channel 200. The support plates 310 are used to connect the conveyor belt 100 with the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220, so that infusion bags or plastic bottles can enter the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220 through the support plates 310. Accordingly, since there are two support plates 310, they can respectively connect the upper channel 210 or the lower channel 220 on both sides of the conveyor belt 100, thereby increasing sorting efficiency.

[0069] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support plate 310 has a first state and a second state. When the support plate 310 is in the first state, the conveying channel 200 is connected to the upper channel 210; when the support plate 310 is in the second state, the conveying channel 200 is connected to the lower channel 220. The design of the support plate 310 switching between the two states significantly optimizes the flexibility and efficiency of the sorting system: by controlling the switching of the conveying path through a single movable component, namely the support plate 310, precise dual-channel flow can be achieved without redundant equipment, saving space and reducing mechanical complexity; at the same time, the flow direction can be quickly adjusted according to real-time needs to ensure efficient sorting of different batches or types of infusion bags or plastic bottles, reduce manual intervention, and improve the system's automation level and sorting accuracy.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the first driving component drives the support plate 310 to rotate, causing the support plate 310 to switch between a first state and a second state. The automatic switching of the support plate 310 between the first and second states via the first driving component allows for precise control of the conveying path switching, improving sorting efficiency and reliability, while also simplifying the mechanical structure and reducing manual intervention.

[0071] Specifically, the first driving component includes a first motor 320, a lead screw 330, a base 340, and two connecting rods 350. The output shaft of the first motor 320 is connected to the bottom of the lead screw 330 via a coupling 370. The coupling 370 transmits the torque of the first motor 320's output shaft to the lead screw 330, thereby driving the lead screw 330 to rotate. The base 340 has a threaded hole that mates with the lead screw 330; when the lead screw 330 rotates, the base 340 moves along the axis of the lead screw 330. The base 340 is provided with a connecting plate 360, and one end of each of the two connecting rods 350 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 360, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support plate 310. During the movement of the base 340 along the axis of the lead screw 330, the connecting rods 350 drive the support plate 310 to rotate, thereby causing the support plate 310 to switch between a first state and a second state.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting part 380 has mounting plates 381 on both sides of the width of the conveyor belt 100, and support plates 310 are rotatably disposed on the top of the mounting plates 381. The two mounting plates 381 are used to fix the conveyor belt 100.

[0073] Specifically, the conveyor belt 100 has multiple rollers 110, which are rotatably mounted between two mounting plates 381. The rollers 110 serve as the mounting base for the conveyor belt 100. The multiple rollers 110 are arranged at equal intervals to support the belt and form a continuous bearing surface, ensuring smooth material transport. At the same time, the low-friction rotation of the rollers 110 reduces belt wear, and the rigid fixing structure of the mounting plates 381 achieves transmission stability and uniform load distribution.

[0074] In this embodiment, there are multiple switching mechanisms 300, and the multiple rollers 110 of the conveyor belt 100 are rotatably disposed between two mounting plates 381 of the multiple switching mechanisms 300. By supporting the conveyor belt 100 with multiple switching mechanisms 300, the redundant space occupied by the traditional independent support structure can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the conveyor belt 100 and the multiple switching mechanisms 300 are stacked in the vertical direction, making full use of three-dimensional space and enabling the multi-channel sorting system to achieve high-density arrangement in a limited planar area, significantly reducing the overall footprint of the equipment.

[0075] like Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 400 includes a synchronous belt 420, a second drive unit, and a feeding block 410; the synchronous belt 420 is located above the conveyor belt 100 and is connected to the feeding block 410. When the infusion bag or plastic bottle reaches the corresponding position, the second drive unit drives the synchronous belt 420 to rotate, causing the feeding block 410 to push the infusion bag or plastic bottle away from the conveyor belt 100 to complete the sorting.

[0076] In this preferred embodiment, there are three material feeding blocks 410. By setting three material feeding blocks 410, the sorting speed can be accelerated. Naturally, the number of material feeding blocks 410 is not limited to three, and can also be other numbers, which can be flexibly set according to the usage requirements. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0077] Specifically, the second driving component includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a second motor 430. A synchronous belt 420 is fitted onto the driving wheel and the driven wheel. The second motor 430 drives the driving wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the synchronous belt 420 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, causing the feeding block 410 to push the infusion bag or plastic bottle away from the conveyor belt 100.

[0078] It should be noted that the linear sorting device for infusion bags or plastic bottles also includes a frame 500, which provides an installation base for the switching mechanism 300, the pushing mechanism 400, and the conveyor belt 100.

[0079] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower channel 220 has a guide section 221, which is inclined from top to bottom in a direction away from the conveyor belt 100. The guide section 221 can prevent the accumulation of infusion bags or plastic bottles by gravity, so that after the infusion bags or plastic bottles sorted to the lower channel 220 leave the end of the conveyor, they can automatically slide along the guide section 221 to the first storage basket 230 by gravity, avoiding accumulation and blockage due to horizontal stagnation. This reduces reliance on mechanical pushing and maintains continuous unobstructed access at the sorting outlet, improving the overall reliability of the system.

[0080] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0081] Furthermore, it should be noted that the scope of the methods and apparatus in the embodiments of this application is not limited to performing functions in the order shown or discussed, but may also include performing functions substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order, depending on the functions involved. For example, the described methods may be performed in a different order than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. In addition, features described with reference to certain examples may be combined in other examples.

[0082] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
