Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical equipment technology, and in particular to a transfer device and a pharmaceutical packaging production line. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the pharmaceutical industry, the requirements for pharmaceutical packaging equipment are becoming increasingly stringent, and the stability of the pharmaceutical packaging production process is becoming increasingly important. Currently, commonly used pharmaceutical packaging production lines consist of an aluminum-plastic composite (APC) machine and a cartoning machine located downstream. To improve automation, pharmaceutical packaging production lines can directly transfer blister packs from the APC machine to the cartoning machine for packaging. However, due to the different cleanliness requirements of the APC machine storage area and the cartoning machine storage area, a pressure difference exists between the two areas. Airflow can blow from the APC machine production area through the transfer port between the two areas to the cartoning machine area, causing the blister packs to be easily overturned during the transfer between the APC machine and the cartoning machine, affecting the stability of the transfer process.
[0003] To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need to provide a transfer device and a pharmaceutical packaging production line. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only partial structures relevant to the present invention, not the complete structure.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a transfer device. The transfer device includes a carrying component 100 and a limiting component 200. The carrying component 100 has at least one transfer channel 110, which is configured to accommodate a component to be transferred, for transferring the component between a first station and a second station. The limiting component 200 is connected to the carrying component 100 and includes a limiting member 210, which is used to constrain the height of the transfer channel 110, thereby separating a transfer space within the transfer channel 110.
[0043] This transfer device can confine the parts to be transferred within the transfer space, preventing them from falling off or flying off the transfer channel 110 during the transfer process, thus improving the safety and stability of the transfer process.
[0044] This embodiment also provides a pharmaceutical packaging production line, which includes the aforementioned transfer device, aluminum-plastic machine, and cartoning machine. The aluminum-plastic machine is located upstream of the transfer device and can be considered as being at the first station. The cartoning machine is located downstream of the transfer device and can be considered as being at the second station. In this embodiment, the item to be transferred is a blister pack, and the transfer device is a transition device, with its two ends connected to the aluminum-plastic machine and the cartoning machine, respectively, thereby enabling the transfer device to transfer the blister pack between the aluminum-plastic machine and the cartoning machine. For ease of explanation, this embodiment uses the aluminum-plastic machine as the first station, the cartoning machine as the second station, and the blister pack as the item to be transferred.
[0045] The pharmaceutical factory operates under the following conditions: the aluminum-plastic packaging machine is located in the inner packaging room, and the cartoning machine is located in the outer packaging room. Because the cleanliness requirements of the two production processes differ, a pressure difference exists between them, causing airflow to blow from the inner packaging room through openings into the outer packaging room. This transfer device utilizes the transfer space formed by the limiting component 210 and the transfer channel 110 to prevent the blister packs from being blown over by the airflow. This ensures that the robotic arm on the subsequent cartoning machine can grasp the blister packs and automatically carton them, thus contributing to the stable operation of the pharmaceutical production line.
[0046] Please continue reading Figure 1 As an optional solution, the support assembly 100 includes a base plate 120 and at least two side plates 130. The side plates 130 are connected to the base plate 120 along the transfer trajectory of the item to be transferred. The side plates 130 and the base plate 120 form a transfer channel 110, which helps to constrain the movement trajectory of the blister pack and further improves the stability of the transfer of blister packs in the pharmaceutical packaging production line.
[0047] Furthermore, when there are multiple transfer channels 110, two adjacent transfer channels 110 share a side plate 130 to simplify the structure of the load-bearing component 100 and reduce costs.
[0048] Optionally, the base plate 120 is inclined along the direction from the aluminum-plastic machine to the cartoning machine, and the end of the base plate 120 near the aluminum-plastic machine is higher than the end near the cartoning machine. This allows the blister pack to slide freely down the inclined angle of the base plate 120 after entering the transfer space from one end of the aluminum-plastic machine, without the need for external force, which helps to save energy.
[0049] Optionally, the base plate 120 has a windproof window 121, thereby preventing the base plate 120 from bearing the wind force generated by the pressure difference between the aluminum-plastic machine and the cartoning machine, avoiding the need to increase the fixing strength of the fasteners, and preventing the component force from causing the structure of the base plate 120 to loosen, which is conducive to improving the structural stability of the transfer device.
[0050] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limiting member 210 is parallel to the base plate 120 and is spaced apart from the base plate 120. Along the transfer trajectory of the item to be transferred, the two ends of the limiting member 210 are respectively configured to connect to the aluminum-plastic machine and the cartoning machine, so that the medicine plate is continuously in the limiting state of the limiting member 210 during the downward movement, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the medicine plate during the transfer process.
[0051] The limiting component 210 includes a first limiting plate 211 and a second limiting plate 212. The first limiting plate 211 is configured to connect with the aluminum-plastic machine, and the second limiting plate 212 is configured to connect with the cartoning machine. The first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 212 are arranged to be joined or overlapped at their close ends. The aluminum-plastic machine and / or the cartoning machine can adjust the distance between the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 212 and the base plate 120, so that the transfer device can be used to transfer medicine plates of different thicknesses, which helps to improve the applicability of the transfer device.
[0052] It is worth noting that when the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 212 are arranged to overlap at the closer end, the first limiting plate 211, which is closer to the upstream end, is located below, so as to avoid the end of the second limiting plate 212 interfering with the sliding medicine plate and to help ensure the smoothness of the medicine plate sliding down.
[0053] Each transfer channel 110 is provided with two limiting members 210. The two limiting members 210 are set close to both sides of the transfer channel 110. That is, the limiting members 210 are used to limit the two sides of the medicine plate to prevent the wind force between the aluminum-plastic machine and the device machine from acting on the limiting members 210.
[0054] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limiting assembly 200 also includes a limiting post 220 and a limiting pressure strip 230. The limiting post 220 is connected to the limiting member 210. The limiting pressure strip 230 has a limiting groove 231 extending in a first direction and extending in a left-right direction. The limiting post 220 passes through the limiting groove 231 and can move in the limiting groove 231 in the up-down and left-right directions, with the left-right direction perpendicular to the transfer trajectory of the item to be transferred. This limiting pressure strip 230 structure ensures the stability of the limiting member 210 during the adjustment of the limiting height and avoids jamming. At the same time, the limiting member 210 can move left and right in the limiting groove 231, allowing the transfer device to be used for medicine plates of different widths, which helps to expand the applicability of the transfer device.
[0055] The limiting posts 220 and the limiting strips 230 are in two sets, and the two sets of limiting strips 230 are respectively set at both ends of the transfer channel 110. Each limiting component 210 is provided with a limiting post 220 near both ends, which helps to improve the structural stability of the transfer device.
[0056] The limiting component 200 also includes a connecting block 240, which is connected to the side plate 130 of the bearing component 100. The limiting pressure strip 230 is mounted on the connecting block 240, and the connecting block 240 is used to fix the limiting pressure strip 230.
