Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to medicine bottle conveying technical field, especially medicine bottle lay down mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the pharmaceutical production line, medicine bottles are often laid down for subsequent operations, such as printing on the bottle body of the medicine bottle, and packing the medicine bottles containing tablets after tilting them to save packing space. In this case, a medicine bottle laying down mechanism needs to be added to the production line.

[0003] In related technologies, reference can be made to the utility model patent [authorized publication number CN218892769U] applied by the applicant, which discloses a medicine bottle laying down mechanism, comprising a linear input track, a rotating conveying assembly, and a linear output track. A plurality of partitions are arranged on the linear output track, and a bottle laying storage compartment is formed between two adjacent partitions. The rotating conveying assembly comprises a base, a rotating disc rotating on the base, and a plurality of pawls uniformly arranged on the outer periphery of the rotating disc. A slot is arranged at the discharge end of the base for allowing the medicine bottles to fall in. A step is arranged in the slot for tilting the medicine bottles.

[0004] The medicine bottle is moved into the slot, and the center of the medicine bottle is located outside the step. When the bottom of the medicine bottle contacts the step, the medicine bottle tilts outward under the action of its own gravity and then falls into the bottle laying storage compartment. The linear output track conveys the tilted medicine bottles to the packaging line. However, there is a certain distance between the base and the bottle laying storage compartment, and the medicine bottle directly falls into the bottle laying storage compartment, which can easily cause deformation or damage to the medicine bottle. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] In order to reduce the probability of deformation or damage of the medicine bottle when it is tilted, the utility model provides a medicine bottle laying down mechanism.

[0006] The medicine bottle laying down mechanism provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A medicine bottle laying down mechanism comprises an input track, a rotating assembly connected with the input track, and an output track connected with the rotating assembly. The rotating assembly comprises a base and a rotating disc. The base is connected with the discharge end of the input track. The rotating disc is coaxially arranged on the base.

The slot is located above the output track. A buffer assembly is arranged at the slot for buffering the medicine bottle.

[0008] By adopting the technical scheme, the input track transports the medicine bottle in an upright state to the base, the rotating disc drives the pushing gear to move the medicine bottle on the base, when the medicine bottle moves to the slotted position, the medicine bottle falls on the step, since the center point of the bottom of the medicine bottle is located outside the step, the medicine bottle tilts outward under the action of gravity, the buffer assembly buffers the tilted medicine bottle, and the buffered medicine bottle rolls to the output track, thereby reducing the probability that the medicine bottle is deformed or damaged after directly falling on the output track, and thus improving the protection performance of the medicine bottle.

[0010] By adopting the technical scheme, the medicine bottle after tilting first falls on the top end of the inclined segment, and then rolls from the top end to the bottom end along the inclined direction of the inclined segment and then rolls to the conveying track, the conveying track transports the medicine bottle in a horizontal state to other production lines, the buffer box buffers the medicine bottle, and the distance of the medicine bottle falling straightly is reduced, so as to reduce the probability that the medicine bottle is deformed or damaged when tilting.

[0011] Optionally, a buffer piece is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the top end of the inclined segment, the buffer piece comprises a buffer spring and a buffer pad, the buffer spring is fixedly arranged on the inner bottom wall of the top end of the inclined segment and extends upward, and the buffer pad is fixedly arranged on the top end of the buffer spring and located directly below the slotted position.

[0013] Optionally, the buffer pad is in an inclined downward state, and the bottom end of the buffer pad abuts against the inner bottom wall of the inclined segment.
