Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling technology, and more specifically, to a bottle filling device to prevent broken bottles. Background Technology
[0002] As a widely used sterile pharmaceutical packaging container, vials require extremely high precision and safety during the filling process. When filling powder injections, vaccines, and other drugs, high-speed filling equipment is used to inject the liquid into the vial, ensuring the vial remains intact during filling, sealing, and transportation. However, due to the brittle nature of vial materials (such as glass), vial breakage and explosions frequently occur during filling due to mechanical collisions, liquid impact, or equipment misalignment. This not only wastes the medication but can also contaminate the production line and increase production costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bottle filling and anti-breakage bottle device, including a lower turntable and an upper turntable fixed on the surface of the lower turntable. A motor is provided at the bottom of the lower turntable to drive the lower turntable and the upper turntable to rotate. The rotation of the upper turntable drives the vials to move and perform filling. The lower turntable extends outward from the bottom of the upper turntable by a certain distance. A protective disc is provided on the lower turntable to surround the outer periphery of the upper turntable. Several bottle slots are provided at equal intervals at the edge of the upper turntable. The vials are embedded in the bottle slots. Several bottle mouth guides are installed on the surface of the upper turntable. The number and angle of the bottle mouth guides are consistent with those of the bottle slots. The bottle mouth guides flip on the surface of the upper turntable to guide the vials to be filled. Bottle body buffers are installed on the surface of the lower turntable located at the bottom of the bottle slots.
[0004] In a preferred embodiment, a rubber protective pad is attached to the inner wall of the bottle groove, and the bottom end of the rubber protective pad is attached to the top end of the bottle body buffer.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the bottle neck guide includes a positioning plate fixed to the surface of the upper turntable, a servo motor fixedly mounted on the positioning plate, a connecting rod extending toward one side of the bottle groove connected to the end of the output shaft of the servo motor, and a feed hopper mounted at the end of the connecting rod.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the feed hopper and the connecting rod are rotated on the upper turntable by a servo motor. When the connecting rod is rotated to the side of the bottle slot and placed horizontally, the bottom end of the feed hopper extends into the interior of the vial. Several evenly distributed diversion holes are provided at the bottom end of the feed hopper.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, an infrared sensor fixed to the upper turntable is provided at the top edge of the bottle slot.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the bottle body cushioning component includes a pad located at the bottom of the bottle groove, the pad being in contact with the bottom end of a rubber cushioning pad, a telescopic rod being installed at the bottom of the pad, and a telescopic tube fixed to the surface of the lower turntable being sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod.
[0009] A return spring is fitted outside the telescopic rod and telescopic tube, and the two ends of the return spring are connected to the lower turntable and the pad.
[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This utility model has a feeding hopper isolated between the needle and the vial body, which can prevent the needle from colliding with the vial mouth or inner wall. Even if the needle is tilted, the high-speed liquid ejected will not impact the vial body or bottom and will not cause the vial body to break.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
[0017] like Figure 1-2The bottle filling and anti-breakage bottle device shown includes a lower turntable 1 and an upper turntable 2 fixed on the surface of the lower turntable 1. A motor is provided at the bottom of the lower turntable 1 to drive the lower turntable 1 and the upper turntable 2 to rotate. The rotation of the upper turntable 2 drives the vials 5 to move and perform filling. The lower turntable 1 extends outward a certain distance from the bottom end of the upper turntable 2. A protective disc 3 is provided on the lower turntable 1 to surround the outer periphery of the upper turntable 2. Several bottle slots 4 are provided at equal intervals at the edge of the upper turntable 2. The vials 5 are embedded in the bottle slots 4. Several bottle mouth guides are installed on the surface of the upper turntable 2. The number and angle of the bottle mouth guides are consistent with those of the bottle slots 4. The bottle mouth guides flip on the surface of the upper turntable 2 to guide the vials 5 to fill. Bottle body buffers are installed on the surface of the lower turntable 1 located at the bottom of the bottle slots 4.
[0018] Based on the above, during operation, the motor drives the upper turntable 2 and the lower turntable 1 to rotate. The vial 5 is conveyed by the conveyor belt to the bottle slot 4 on the upper turntable 2. Then, the bottle mouth guide flips and moves into the inside of the vial 5 to guide the filling. Then, the upper turntable 2 rotates, causing the vial 5 to move along the inner side of the protective plate 3. During the movement, the filling equipment in the production line completes the filling. The bottle body buffer at the bottom of the bottle slot 4 can buffer the impact force generated by the filling liquid during the filling process of the vial 5, reduce the pressure on the bottle body, and reduce the possibility of bottle breakage.
[0019] A rubber protective pad 6 is attached to the inner wall of the bottle groove 4, and the bottom end of the rubber protective pad 6 is attached to the top end of the bottle body buffer component.
[0020] Based on the above, during the filling process, vials 5 are conveyed sequentially by the conveyor belt to the bottle slots 4 of the upper turntable 2. During this process, the rubber protective pads 6 can prevent vials 5 from directly colliding with the upper turntable 2, provide a buffering effect when vials 5 enter the bottle slots 4, and reduce mechanical vibration and collision during the filling process, thereby reducing the probability of bottle breakage.
[0021] The bottle mouth guide includes a positioning plate 7 fixed on the surface of the upper turntable 2, a servo motor 8 fixedly installed on the positioning plate 7, a connecting rod 9 extending to one side of the bottle groove 4 connected to the end of the output shaft of the servo motor 8, and a feed hopper 10 installed at the end of the connecting rod 9.
[0022] The feed hopper 10 and the connecting rod 9 are rotated on the upper turntable 2 by the servo motor 8. When the connecting rod 9 is rotated to the side of the bottle slot 4 and placed horizontally, the bottom end of the feed hopper 10 extends into the interior of the vial 5. Several evenly distributed diversion holes 11 are opened at the bottom end of the feed hopper 10.
[0023] An infrared sensor 12 is fixed on the upper turntable 2 at the top edge of the bottle groove 4;
[0024] Based on the above, each bottle slot 4 corresponds to a bottle neck guide. During the filling of the vial 5, the liquid being filled passes through the bottle neck guide and then enters the interior of the vial 5, specifically as follows:
[0025] When vial 5 enters the bottle slot 4, infrared sensor 12 senses the entry of vial 5 and acquires a signal, which is transmitted to the production line control center to control servo motor 8 to work, driving connecting rod 9 to rotate above the turntable, so that the feed hopper 10 at the end of connecting rod 9 goes deep into the vial 5, and then filling is carried out. At this time, the needle of the filling equipment will go deep into the feed hopper 10, and the liquid to be filled will first enter the feed hopper 10, and then through the diversion hole 11 at the bottom of the feed hopper 10, it will be divided into multiple uniform fluids and enter the vial 5 to complete the filling.
[0026] Furthermore, a feed hopper 10 is installed between the needle and the vial 5 to prevent the needle from colliding with the bottle opening or inner wall. Even if the needle is tilted, the high-speed liquid ejected will not impact the bottle body or bottom, thus preventing the bottle from breaking. Multiple diversion holes 11 evenly distribute the liquid, slowing down the flow rate and reducing the impact on the vial 5, thereby reducing the chance of the vial 5 breaking during the filling process.
[0027] Furthermore, after filling is completed, the servo motor 8 is controlled to reciprocate, causing the connecting rod 9 to swing up and down, which in turn causes the feed hopper 10 at the end of the connecting rod 9 to vibrate up and down, so that the medicine remaining in the feed hopper 10 can effectively fall into the vial 5, reducing the filling residue of the medicine. After the medicine cleaning is completed, the servo motor 8 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the connecting rod 9 and the feed hopper 10 away from the vial 5.
[0028] The bottle body cushioning component includes a pad 13 located at the bottom of the bottle groove 4. The pad 13 is in contact with the bottom end of the rubber cushioning pad. A telescopic rod 14 is installed at the bottom of the pad 13. A telescopic tube 15 fixed to the surface of the lower turntable 1 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 14.
[0029] A return spring 16 is fitted outside the telescopic rod 14 and the telescopic tube 15, and the two ends of the return spring 16 are connected to the lower turntable 1 and the pad 13.
[0030] Furthermore, based on the above, a bottle body buffer is provided at the bottom of the bottle tank 4, wherein the pad 13 partly abuts against the bottom end of the rubber protective pad 6, providing a certain limiting effect. When the vial 5 enters the bottle tank 4, the bottom end is located on the pad 13. During the filling process of the vial 5, the bottle body will be subjected to some downward impact force. In order to reduce the pressure on the bottom of the bottle body during filling, the pad 13 will squeeze the return spring 16 to move down, buffering the filling pressure, thereby reducing the pressure on the bottle body and reducing the probability of it breaking and breaking.
[0031] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
