Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical sorting technology, and in particular to a sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical manufacturing and formulation processing field, solvent bottles, as key containers for holding various liquid drug solutions, directly impact overall production efficiency and cost control through the efficiency of their circulation and assembly processes. Currently, the process of loading solvent bottles into drug crates still relies on traditional manual methods. Operators must pick up each solvent bottle individually and place it precisely into the crate. This process is not only labor-intensive but also highly susceptible to factors such as operator fatigue and varying levels of skill, resulting in extremely low crating efficiency and failing to meet the urgent demands of modern pharmaceutical production for large-scale, high-efficiency operations.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a sorting device includes a frame 1, a first conveyor belt 2, and several sorting mechanisms 3. The first conveyor belt 2 is fixed to the frame 1 along a first direction and is used to transport solvent bottles along the first direction. Several sorting mechanisms 3 are distributed on the frame 1 at the top of the first conveyor belt 2 along the first direction. A medicine frame 6 corresponding to the sorting mechanism 3 is provided on the side of the first conveyor belt 2. The sorting end of the sorting mechanism 3 moves along a second direction and is used to push the solvent bottles on the first conveyor belt 2 into the medicine frame 6 to realize the automatic collection and sorting of solvent bottles.

[0026] The frame 1 is a frame structure extending along a first direction. The frame 1 is constructed as a double-layered cuboid frame internally divided into a first chamber and a second chamber. A first conveyor belt 2 is fixed to the bottom of the first chamber, and several sorting mechanisms 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the first chamber. A second conveyor belt 4 is fixed to the bottom of the second chamber, and several sorting mechanisms 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the second chamber. The side of the second conveyor belt 4 has medicine frames 6 corresponding to the sorting mechanisms 3. The second conveyor belt 4 is arranged along the first direction; that is, the first conveyor belt 2 and the second conveyor belt 4 are stacked vertically. The sorting mechanism 3 located at the top of the second conveyor belt 4 is used to push the solvent bottles of the second conveyor belt 4 into the medicine frames 6. Preferably, the input end of the first conveyor belt 2 and the output end of the second conveyor belt 4 are aligned vertically, and the output end of the first conveyor belt 2 and the input end of the second conveyor belt 4 are aligned vertically, making the overall structure compact.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame 1 is fixedly equipped with a transfer mechanism 5. The output end of the first conveyor belt 2 is connected to the input end of the transfer mechanism 5, and the output end of the transfer mechanism 5 is connected to the input end of the second conveyor belt 4. Specifically, the transfer mechanism 5 includes a transfer box 51, a guide plate 52, and a third conveyor belt 53. The transfer box 51 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and extends vertically. The top opening of the transfer box 51 is for inputting solvent bottles, and the bottom opening is for outputting solvent bottles. The guide plate 52 is fixedly connected to the top opening of the transfer box 51. The top opening of the transfer box 51 is flush with the output end of the first conveyor belt 2, and the guide plate 52 is inclined towards the output end of the first conveyor belt 2. When a solvent bottle on the first conveyor belt 2 is not pushed into the medicine frame 6 by the sorting mechanism 3 on the first conveyor belt 2, the solvent bottle will be transferred by the transfer mechanism 5 at the output end of the first conveyor belt 2. The guide plate 52 acts as a buffer for the solvent bottles entering the transfer box 51, slowing down the speed of the solvent bottles as they pass through the transfer box 51 and preventing damage to the solvent bottles during the transfer from the first conveyor belt 2 to the second conveyor belt 4.

[0028] The third conveyor belt 53 is fixed to the frame 1 at the bottom of the transfer box 51. The third conveyor belt 53 faces the bottom opening of the transfer box 51 and is arranged along the first direction. The output end of the third conveyor belt 53 is connected to the input end of the second conveyor belt 4, so that the third conveyor belt 53 and the second conveyor belt 4 form a continuous material conveying path along the first direction. The solvent bottle falls from the transfer box 51 onto the third conveyor belt 53, and the third conveyor belt 53 inputs the solvent bottle onto the second conveyor belt 4, thereby transferring the solvent bottle from the first conveyor belt 2 located on the upper layer of the frame 1 to the second conveyor belt 4 located on the lower layer of the frame 1.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the sorting mechanism 3 includes a sorting frame 31, a first roller 32, and a second roller 33. The sorting frame 31 is fixedly connected along a second direction. The dimension of the sorting frame 31 along the second direction is larger than the dimensions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 1 along the second direction, that is, the sorting frame 31 covers the width of either the first frame 1 or the second frame 1. Since the sorting mechanism 3 at the top of the first frame 1 and the sorting mechanism 3 at the top of the second frame 1 have the same structure, this embodiment will describe the sorting mechanism 3 at the top of the first frame 1, and the sorting mechanism 3 at the top of the second frame 1 will not be described in detail.

[0030] The first roller 32 and the second roller 33 are rotatably connected to both ends of the sorting frame 31 along the second direction. The rotation axis of the first roller 32 is parallel to the rotation axis of the second roller 33 and is on the same horizontal plane. The outer diameter of the first roller 32 and the outer diameter of the second roller 33 are the same. The closed-loop transmission belt 34 rolls in the second direction via the first roller 32 and the second roller 33. The bottom of the closed-loop transmission belt 34 translates along the second direction on the same horizontal plane. The sorting end of the sorting mechanism 3 is provided with a sorting plate 35, which is fixedly connected to the periphery of the closed-loop transmission belt 34. The sorting plate 35 is set perpendicular to the closed-loop transmission belt 34. The closed-loop transmission belt 34 drives the sorting plate 35 to push the solvent bottle located on the first conveyor belt 2 out of the first conveyor belt 2 and into the medicine frame 6 along the second direction.

[0031] Preferably, a plurality of sorting plates 35 are fixedly connected to the periphery of the closed-loop drive belt 34, and the plurality of sorting plates 35 are evenly spaced. When the closed-loop drive belt 34 rotates once, the plurality of sorting plates 35 can complete the loading of multiple solvent bottles, greatly improving the loading efficiency of the solvent bottles. Preferably, the transmission structure of the first roller 32, the second roller 33 and the closed-loop drive belt 34 is provided in two sets along the first direction, and the sorting plates 35 are fixedly connected to the two sets of closed-loop drive belts 34.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sorting mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 36, which is connected to the first roller 32 via a gear belt drive, thereby driving the closed-loop transmission belt 34 to move. In this embodiment, the drive motor 36 is a stepper motor, which drives the first roller 32 to rotate forward or backward, and the sorting plate 35 moves bidirectionally in the second direction. Multiple pairs of medicine frames 6 are provided on both sides of the first conveyor belt 2, and each pair of medicine frames 6 corresponds one-to-one with the sorting mechanism 3. That is, the sorting plate 35, which has a bidirectional movement state, can push the solvent bottles into the paired medicine frames 6 to further improve the loading efficiency of the solvent bottles. Preferably, a medicine frame 6 is provided at the output end of the second conveyor belt 4 to carry unsorted solvent bottles, that is, to carry unqualified solvent bottles.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a guide frame 7 is fixed at the input end of the first conveyor belt 2. The top of the guide frame 7 is constructed to be a plane coplanar with the top of the first conveyor belt 2. A pair of guide plates 71 are fixed at the top of the guide frame 7. The pair of guide plates 71 are arranged parallel to each other along the first direction to form a channel for the solvent bottles to pass through, so that the solvent bottles can be transported to the first conveyor belt 2 in a single row, so that the subsequent sorting mechanism 3 can sort the solvent bottles.

[0034] The above scheme can achieve multiple sorting methods. This embodiment provides one sorting method: the medicine frames 6 on both sides of the first conveyor belt 2 are loaded one by one. After the medicine frames 6 on both sides of the first conveyor belt 2 are loaded, the medicine frames 6 on both sides of the second conveyor belt 4 are loaded one by one. During the loading of the medicine frames 6 on both sides of the second conveyor belt 4, the loaded medicine frames 6 on both sides of the first conveyor belt 2 are removed and replaced with empty medicine frames 6 for the next round of loading. This embodiment provides another sorting method: each sorting mechanism is equipped with a sensor to identify the size of the solvent bottle. A size gradient is set sequentially for each sorting mechanism to classify and load solvent bottles of different sizes.

[0035] 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. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model.
