Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical production technology, and in particular to a conveying device for medicine bottle caps. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and popularization of automation technology, in the current pharmaceutical production process, bottle caps can be quickly and continuously transported to the capping station by using automated conveying devices. This reduces manual intervention, lowers the labor intensity of operators, and reduces labor costs, effectively improving product production efficiency, ensuring the hygiene and quality of medicines during the packaging process, and meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0003] In existing conveying devices for medicine bottle caps, a conveyor belt with equally spaced baffles is usually used for vertical cap transport. During transport, there are problems such as caps falling off the conveyor belt and out of the device when there are many caps being transported due to the lack of obstruction above the top surface of the conveyor belt, or the inability to monitor the cap transport status after the top surface is obstructed. Furthermore, when a group of caps is transported to the top of the conveyor belt, the caps are prone to jamming between the baffles and the inner top surface of the device housing due to the accumulation of caps on the conveyor belt baffles, resulting in cap compression deformation and damage or damage to the transport structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a conveying device for medicine bottle caps. After the operator pours the medicine bottle caps into the receiving hopper, the caps are supported and conveyed upward by the baffle connected to the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt reaches near the top of the housing, the paddle connected to the inner top surface of the housing moves the baffle, widening the distance between the baffle and the inner top surface of the housing, or causing excess caps on the baffle to fall back to the bottom of the housing for re-transfer. This effectively prevents the caps from getting stuck between the conveyor belt and the housing due to excessive accumulation on the baffle when the caps are conveyed to the top of the housing, which could cause the caps to deform or the conveying structure to be damaged.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A conveying device for medicine bottle caps includes a base, a support, and a housing. The housing is connected to the top surface of the base. The support is L-shaped, with one end connected to the top surface of the base and the other end connected to the side of the housing. The housing is a box-shaped structure tilted at a 10-degree angle relative to the vertical direction. The side of the housing facing upwards is open and a receiving hopper is connected to the bottom. A conveyor belt parallel to the side opening of the housing is connected to the inner side of the housing. A driving device is connected to the upper part of the outer side of the housing, and the output end of the driving device is connected to the conveyor belt. A discharge port is connected to the top of the side of the housing facing downwards.

[0007] Furthermore, baffle one, baffle two, and baffle three are respectively connected to the side of the shell opening, the top of the receiving hopper, and the discharge port. All baffles are made of transparent material. One side of baffle one and baffle two are rotatably connected to one side of the shell opening and the top surface of the receiving hopper, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the width of the conveyor belt is slightly smaller than the width of the inner side of the shell, and parallel, equidistant transverse baffles are connected to the surface of the conveyor belt. The baffles are inclined at fifteen degrees relative to the position perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt towards the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and the width of the baffles is larger than the diameter of the medicine bottle cap.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive unit is a motor, and the output end of the drive unit is hinged to the sprocket connected to the input shaft of the transmission belt via a transmission chain.

[0010] Furthermore, two paddles are connected to the top surface of the inner side of the housing near the opening. The paddles are arc-shaped strip-shaped metal springs, with the ends of the paddles facing the top of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the distance from the end of the paddle to the surface of the conveyor belt is less than the distance from the end of the baffle connected to the conveyor belt to the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the inner bottom surface of the discharge port is aligned vertically with the top of the side of the conveyor belt facing away from the opening of the housing.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following obvious advantages:

[0014] I. This utility model uses a drive device to drive the conveyor belt to transport the bottle caps put into the receiving hopper, which reduces manual intervention and contact with the bottle caps during the transportation process, reduces labor costs and labor intensity, and can effectively improve the efficiency of bottle cap transportation, ensuring the hygiene and safety of medicine packaging.

[0015] Second, because the device housing opening, receiving hopper and discharge port are connected to the top of the transparent baffle, the bottle caps can be effectively prevented from falling out of the conveying device during the transmission process. The operator can also observe the transmission process of the bottle caps through the baffle. When problems such as the conveyor belt carrying too many bottle caps or transmission jamming occur, the operator can find out immediately and open the baffle to intervene and adjust.

[0016] Third, because a paddle is connected to the top surface of the inner side of the housing, when the conveyor belt baffle carries the bottle cap to a position close to the top of the conveyor belt, the paddle pushes the two sides of the baffle to increase the distance between the baffle and the top surface of the housing. Excessive bottle caps on the baffle will also shift or slide off due to the rotation of the baffle, preventing the bottle caps from being stuck between the baffle and the top surface of the housing due to excessive accumulation on the baffle, which would cause the bottle caps to be squeezed, deformed and damaged or damage the conveyor structure.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a conveying device for medicine bottle caps, including a base 1, a support 2, a housing 3, a receiving hopper 4, a conveyor belt 5, a driving device 6, and a discharge port 7. In this embodiment, the housing 3 is connected to the top surface of the base 1, the support 2 is L-shaped, the end of the long rod of the support 2 is connected to the top surface of the base 1, and the short rod part is connected to the side of the housing 3. The housing 3 is a box that is inclined at ten degrees relative to the vertical direction. The side of the housing 3 facing upwards is open, and the receiving hopper 4 is connected to the bottom of the opening of the housing 3. A transparent baffle 301 and a baffle 401 are respectively connected to the side of the opening of the housing 3 and the top of the receiving hopper 4. One side of the baffle 301 and the baffle 401 are respectively rotatably connected to one side of the opening of the housing 3 and the top surface of the receiving hopper 4.

[0024] The conveyor belt 5 is connected to the inner side of the housing 3, parallel to the opening side. The width of the conveyor belt 5 is slightly smaller than the width of the inner side of the housing 3. Parallel, equidistant transverse baffles are connected to the surface of the conveyor belt 5. The baffles are inclined at a 15-degree angle towards the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 5, relative to the position perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt 5. The width of the baffles is larger than the diameter of the medicine bottle cap. A lever 302 is connected to both ends of the inner top surface of the housing 3 near the opening. The lever 302 is an arc-shaped strip of metal spring, with its end facing the top of the conveyor belt 5. The distance from the end of plate 302 to the surface of conveyor belt 5 is less than the distance from the end of the baffle connected to conveyor belt 5 to the surface of conveyor belt 5. The drive device 6 is a motor connected to the upper part of the outer side of the housing 3. The output end of the drive device 6 is hinged to the sprocket connected to the input shaft of the conveyor belt 5 through a transmission chain. The discharge port 7 is connected to the top of the side of the housing 3 facing downward. A transparent baffle 3 701 is connected to the top of the discharge port 7. The top of the bottom inner side of the discharge port 7 is aligned vertically with the top of the side of the conveyor belt 5 facing away from the opening of the housing 3.

[0025] In use, the operator turns on the drive device 6. The output end of the drive device 6 drives the transmission belt 5 to rotate via a chain and a sprocket connected to the input shaft of the transmission belt 5. The side of the transmission belt 5 facing the opening of the housing 3 transports upwards. The operator opens the baffle 401 on the top of the receiving hopper 4, and the bottle caps fall from the top of the receiving hopper 4, sliding down the inner wall of the receiving hopper 4 into the housing 3. The bottle caps entering the housing 3 are continuously caught by the baffle connected to the upward-transmitting transmission belt 5. The bottle caps caught by the baffle move upwards as the transmission belt 5 rotates. When the baffle moves close to the top of the conveyor belt 5, the paddle 302 blocks both ends of the baffle, pushing the baffle to bend downwards, widening the gap between the top surface of the baffle and the inner top surface of the housing 3. Excessive bottle caps will fall and be retransmitted due to the offset of the baffle, making it easier for the bottle caps on the baffle to pass through the top of the conveyor belt 5. The bottle caps will not get stuck between the top of the conveyor belt 5 and the inner top surface of the housing 3 due to excessive accumulation. When the baffle on which the bottle cap is located rotates to a position lower than the horizontal angle, the bottle caps that have passed through the top of the conveyor belt 5 slide into the discharge port 7 and enter the next process from the discharge port 7.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
