Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical dressing production equipment, and specifically relates to an automatic filling device for a medical measuring ruler. Background Technology
[0002] Medical combination packs typically require combining different products according to varying customer needs before packaging and sterilization. Because the materials and sizes of the products within the combination pack differ, filling is mostly done manually. Products such as measuring rulers, skin markers, medical tapes, and dressings are all currently filled manually online, which is prone to errors like missed or overfilled fillings and is inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide an automatic filling device for medical measuring tapes, replacing manual operation with an automated filling process, thus reducing reliance on manual labor in the production process. Enterprises no longer need to invest a large amount of manpower in online filling of the measuring tapes, saving labor costs and reducing the risk of errors caused by human fatigue, negligence, and other factors.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An automatic filling device for a medical measuring ruler includes a storage tank with a storage tank outlet at the bottom and a negative pressure suction cup below the storage tank outlet. The negative pressure suction cup is mounted on a flipping device, which is used to drive the negative pressure suction cup to flip.
[0006] Preferably, the outlet of the storage tank is provided with a limiting block, which is used to provide resistance to the medical measuring tape.
[0007] Preferably, the limiting block is an elastic limiting block, used to prevent the medical measuring ruler from falling in its natural state, and when the negative pressure suction cup adsorbs the medical measuring ruler, the medical measuring ruler can move downward.
[0008] Preferably, there are multiple negative pressure suction cups and storage tanks, with one negative pressure suction cup corresponding to one row of storage tanks.
[0009] Preferably, the flipping device includes a rotating rod and a flipping motor. A negative pressure suction cup is mounted on the rotating rod, and the flipping motor drives the rotating rod to rotate 180 degrees.
[0010] Preferably, it also includes a frame, with the rotating rod mounted inside the frame via bearings, and the motor for tilting mounted on the outer wall of the frame.
[0011] Preferably, a rectangular mounting groove is provided on the rotating rod.
[0012] Preferably, the storage tank includes a rectangular frame, with the top of the rectangular frame being the inlet, the bottom of the rectangular frame being the outlet, the front side of the rectangular frame being an open structure, the rear side of the rectangular frame being a closed structure, and two limiting blocks being provided on both sides of the bottom outlet of the rectangular frame.
[0013] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. An elastic limiting block is installed at the outlet of the storage tank. This limiting block effectively prevents the medical measuring tape from falling in its natural state. When the negative pressure suction cup is working, the measuring tape can overcome the resistance and move downward smoothly, ensuring that only one measuring tape is suctioned at a time. In this way, the phenomenon of missing or overfilling that is prone to occur with manual filling is greatly avoided, ensuring the accuracy of the number of measuring tapes in each combination pack and significantly improving the stability of product quality.
[0015] 2. The device employs a design with multiple negative pressure suction cups corresponding to multiple rows of storage tanks, enabling the simultaneous adsorption of multiple medical measuring tapes. Compared to manual filling of each tape individually, this significantly reduces the filling time for a single combination pack. Furthermore, a flipping device quickly rotates the adsorbed measuring tapes 180° and places them into blister packaging bags / boxes above the conveyor belt. The entire process is seamless and efficient, achieving automated and continuous operation of measuring tape filling, greatly improving the production efficiency of medical combination packs and meeting the needs of large-scale production.
[0016] 3. Replacing manual operation with automated filling processes reduces reliance on human labor in the production process. Companies no longer need to invest heavily in online measurement and filling work, saving labor costs and reducing the risk of errors due to human fatigue or negligence. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Preferred solutions include Figures 1 to 4As shown, an automatic filling device for a medical measuring ruler includes a storage tank with a storage tank outlet at the bottom and a negative pressure suction cup below the storage tank outlet. The negative pressure suction cup is mounted on a flipping device, which is used to drive the negative pressure suction cup to flip.
[0024] This device replaces medical measuring tapes with automatic filling. First, measuring tapes are added in batches to a storage tank (a limit block is installed below the outlet of the storage tank to prevent the tapes from falling out and to provide resistance during suction cup adsorption, allowing only one tape to be adsorbed at a time). Multiple sets of negative pressure suction cups then extract the tapes, rotate them 180°, and place them above the conveyor belt. The tapes are then released into blister packaging bags / boxes below and transferred to the subsequent capping and printing process. This automatic filling of measuring tapes ensures accurate quantity and effectively improves efficiency.
[0025] Preferably, the outlet of the storage tank is provided with a limiting block, which is used to provide resistance to the medical measuring tape.
[0026] Specifically, the limiting block is an elastic limiting block, used to prevent the medical measuring ruler from falling in its natural state. When the negative pressure suction cup adsorbs the medical measuring ruler, the medical measuring ruler can move downward.
[0027] The limiting block is made of elastic or soft material, such as plastic elastic sheet or soft rubber. Its purpose is to ensure that the medical measuring ruler in the storage tank will not fall downward, but when it is attracted by the negative pressure suction cup, it can facilitate the downward movement of the medical measuring ruler.
[0028] Preferably, there are multiple negative pressure suction cups and storage tanks, with one negative pressure suction cup corresponding to one row of storage tanks. This allows for the simultaneous adsorption of multiple medical measuring scales.
[0029] Preferably, the flipping device includes a rotating rod and a flipping motor. A negative pressure suction cup is mounted on the rotating rod, and the flipping motor drives the rotating rod to rotate 180 degrees. The flipping motor can be a stepper motor.
[0030] Preferably, the device further includes a frame, with the rotating rod mounted inside the frame via bearings, and a motor for tilting mounted on the outer wall of the frame. The frame is a square frame structure made of steel plates.
[0031] Preferably, the rotating rod has a rectangular mounting groove. The rectangular mounting groove has multiple mounting holes for mounting the negative pressure suction cup with bolts.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the storage tank includes a rectangular frame with an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom. The front side of the frame is open, while the rear side is closed. Two limiting blocks are positioned on either side of the outlet at the bottom of the frame. Connecting perforated plates are provided on both sides of the storage tank for connection to the machine frame.
[0033] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
