Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a sealing device, and more particularly to a vacuum sealing device for bottles and jars. Background Technology

[0002] Existing bottles and jars typically use a screw-locking system to connect the bottle and cap, such as common medicine jars. However, when users need to use multiple medications, repeatedly opening and closing the medicine jar and taking out the pills is very time-consuming. Therefore, if multiple medications could be pre-packaged into smaller, single-use portions in smaller bottles or jars as needed, it would help users reduce the time spent opening and closing the medicine jars.

[0003] However, when users repackage medicines into small bottles or jars, with only one or two pills in each bottle or jar, it is not only more laborious to make smaller threads on the bottle and the cap, but also more time-consuming to lock the bottle and the cap after repackaging the medicines.

[0004] In addition, how to prevent the medicines inside the bottles and jars from getting damp and oxidizing during the filling process is also a problem that the industry urgently needs to solve. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a vacuum sealing device for bottles and jars, which solves the problem that existing bottles and jars mostly use threaded locking, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. At the same time, this invention also has the function of preventing the medicine inside the bottle or jar from getting damp and oxidizing when filling it with medicine.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a bottle / jar vacuum sealing device for sealing a sealing sheet at the mouth of a bottle / jar. The bottle / jar vacuum sealing device has the following features:

[0007] A transport platform for transporting the bottle / can, the transport platform having:

[0008] At least one shelf on which the bottle / jar can be placed;

[0009] At least one movable component, the number of which corresponds to the number of the at least one placement rack, and each of the at least one movable component is disposed at the bottom of one of the at least one placement racks and is capable of driving the at least one placement rack to move up and down;

[0010] An airtight component is disposed above the transport platform, and the airtight component has:

[0011] At least one airtight groove is disposed at the bottom of the airtight component, and each of the at least one placement rack can selectively move into one of the at least one airtight grooves; the sealing plate can selectively be disposed on the bottom surface of one of the at least one airtight grooves; when each of the at least one placement racks is disposed in one of the at least one airtight grooves, each of the at least one placement racks is sealed with the at least one airtight groove, the bottle is located in the at least one airtight groove, and the bottle can abut against the sealing plate;

[0012] A vent hole extends through the side of the airtight component and connects to the airtight groove.

[0013] A gas adjustment component is connected to the airtight component and communicates with the vent hole, and can extract the gas from the airtight groove and the bottle to make the airtight groove and the bottle a vacuum.

[0014] A heater, which is positioned corresponding to the airtight element and is capable of heating the sealing plate.

[0015] The advantage of this invention lies in the following: The bottle / can is placed on a rack and then into the airtight groove of the airtight component. At this point, the air inside the airtight groove and the bottle / can is extracted through the vent holes of the airtight component using a gas adjustment component, creating a vacuum in the airtight groove and the bottle / can. Next, the bottle / can's opening is fitted against a sealing plate located on the bottom surface of the airtight groove, and the sealing plate is then sealed to the bottle / can's opening by heating. In this way, this invention uses a heater to seal the sealing plate onto the bottle / can, reducing the cost of threaded fastening, and maintaining a vacuum inside the bottle / can also prevents the medicine inside from becoming damp and oxidizing.

[0045] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention, further illustrates the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve its intended purpose.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 This utility model proposes a bottle and jar vacuum sealing device for sealing a sealing sheet A at the mouth of a bottle or jar B. The bottle and jar vacuum sealing device includes a transport platform 10, an airtight component 20, a pivot 30, a gas adjustment assembly 40, a heater 50, a sealing sheet placement mechanism 60, and a sealing sheet storage mechanism 70. In other embodiments, the bottle and jar vacuum sealing device may not include the pivot 30, the sealing sheet placement mechanism 60, and the sealing sheet storage mechanism 70.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transport platform 10 is used to transport bottles and cans B, and the transport platform 10 has at least one placement rack 11 and at least one moving assembly 12. Bottles and cans B can be placed on the placement rack 11. In this embodiment, each placement rack 11 has at least one sealing ring 111 disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the placement rack 11.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6The number of moving components 12 corresponds to the number of placement racks 11, and each moving component 12 is disposed at the bottom of one of the placement racks 11 and can drive the placement rack 11 to move up and down. In this embodiment, each moving component 12 has an airtight moving member 121 and a contact moving member 122. The airtight moving member 121 is connected to the corresponding placement rack 11 and can drive the placement rack 11 to move. The contact moving member 122 is connected to the airtight moving member 121 and can drive the airtight moving member 121 to move, and the vertical movement distance of the contact moving member 122 is smaller than the vertical movement distance of the airtight moving member 121. In other words, in this embodiment, the moving component 12 can drive the placement rack 11 to move in the vertical direction in two stages. The user can first use the airtight moving member 121 to move a larger distance in the vertical direction, and then use the contact moving member 122 to move a smaller distance in the vertical direction.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 An airtight component 20 is disposed above the transport platform 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the airtight component 20 can be disposed above the transport platform 10. The airtight component 20 has at least one airtight groove 21 and a vent 22. The airtight groove 21 is disposed at the bottom of the airtight component 20; in other words, the opening of the airtight groove 21 faces downward. Each placement rack 11 can selectively move into one of the airtight grooves 21. A sealing plate A can be selectively disposed on the bottom surface of the airtight groove 21; in other words, the sealing plate A is disposed at the bottom of the airtight groove 21. When the placement rack 11 is placed in one of the airtight grooves 21, the placement rack 11 can be sealed and fitted to the airtight groove 21 by the sealing ring 111. Since the bottle B is placed on the placement rack 11, when the placement rack 11 is placed in one of the airtight grooves 21, the bottle B is also located in the airtight groove 21, and the bottle B can selectively abut against the sealing piece A located at the bottom of the airtight groove 21 by the up and down movement of the moving component 12. In this embodiment, the airtight component 20 has two airtight grooves 21, and the two airtight grooves 21 are respectively disposed at both ends of the bottom of the airtight component 20. The vent hole 22 penetrates the side of the airtight component 20 and communicates with the airtight grooves 21.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The pivot 30 passes through the airtight component 20 and is disposed between the two airtight grooves 21. The two airtight grooves 21 can rotate around the pivot 30 with the pivot 30 as the axis. In other words, in this embodiment, the two airtight grooves 21 located at both ends of the airtight component 20 can be alternately disposed above the transport platform 10.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The gas adjustment assembly 40 is connected to the airtight component 20 and communicates with the vent 22, and can extract gas from the airtight tank 21 and bottle B, creating a vacuum in the airtight tank 21 and bottle B. In this embodiment, the gas adjustment assembly 40 includes a vacuum device 41 and a nitrogen device 42. The vacuum device 41 is connected to the vent 22 and can extract gas from the airtight tank 21, while the nitrogen device 42 is connected to the vent 22 and can introduce nitrogen into the airtight tank 21 and bottle B. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the gas adjustment assembly 40 is connected to the airtight component 20, the vacuum device 41 first extracts gas from the airtight tank 21 and bottle B, and then the nitrogen device 42 introduces nitrogen into the airtight tank 21 and bottle B.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The heater 50 is positioned corresponding to the airtight component 20 and can heat the sealing plate A. Thus, when the bottle B moves up and down by the moving component 12 and comes into contact with the sealing plate A located at the bottom of the airtight groove 21, the heater 50 can heat the sealing plate A, so that the sealing plate A is heated and sealed to the mouth of the bottle B.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sealing plate placement mechanism 60 is adjacent to the airtight component 20 and has a protrusion 61 and a moving mechanism 62. The sealing plate A can be placed on the protrusion 61, and the moving mechanism 62 is connected to the protrusion 61 and can drive the protrusion 61 to conform to the bottom surface of the airtight groove 21, thereby allowing the sealing plate A to conform to the bottom surface of one of the airtight grooves 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, when one of the airtight grooves 21 moves above the transport platform 10, and the other airtight groove 21 moves to be adjacent to the protrusion 61, the moving mechanism 62 can drive the protrusion 61 to conform to the bottom of the airtight groove 21 adjacent to the protrusion 61, and conform the sealing plate A disposed on the protrusion 61 to the bottom of the airtight groove 21.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sealing sheet storage mechanism 70 is adjacent to the sealing sheet placement mechanism 60, and the sealing sheet storage mechanism 70 has a sealing sheet storage slot 71 for storing sealing sheet A. In this embodiment, the user can move the sealing sheet A from the sealing sheet storage slot 71 to the sealing sheet placement mechanism 60 by means of a robotic arm or the like.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 and Figure 10In use, the user first places bottle B on the placement rack 11. The transport platform 10 moves the placement rack 11 under the airtight component 20. Then, the airtight moving component 121 of the moving assembly 12 pushes the placement rack 11 and bottle B upwards for the first stage of movement until the placement rack 11 seals against the airtight groove 21. At this time, the vacuum device 41 and nitrogen device 42 of the gas adjustment assembly 40 can be turned on in sequence. Through the vent 22 of the airtight component 20, bottle B is evacuated and filled with nitrogen in sequence. Afterwards, the contact moving component 122 of the moving assembly 12 pushes the placement rack 11 upwards for the second stage of movement until the bottle mouth of bottle B abuts against the sealing plate A located at the bottom of the airtight groove 21. At this time, the heater 50 heats up, causing the sealing plate A to be heated and sealed against the bottle mouth of bottle B.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 9 During the aforementioned process, the airtight groove 21 on the airtight component 20, relative to the other end of the transport assembly, is adjacent to the protrusion 61. The moving mechanism 62 can drive the protrusion 61 to fit against the bottom of the airtight groove 21 adjacent to the protrusion 61, and attach the sealing piece A provided on the protrusion 61 to the bottom of the airtight groove 21, thereby setting the sealing piece A at the bottom of the airtight groove 21. After the bottle B is sealed, the pivot 30 can drive the airtight component 20 to rotate, so that the airtight groove 21, which has been filled with the sealing piece A, rotates to the top of the placement rack 11 for the next sealing of the bottle B.

[0057] The advantage of this invention is that when bottle B is placed on the rack 11 and then into the airtight groove 21 of the airtight component 20, the air inside the airtight groove 21 and bottle B can be drawn out through the vent 22 of the airtight component 20 by the gas adjustment component 40, creating a vacuum in the airtight groove 21 and bottle B. Next, the bottle opening of bottle B will be abutted against the sealing plate A located on the bottom surface of the airtight groove 21, and the sealing plate A will be sealed against the bottle opening by heating with the heater 50. In this way, this invention reduces the cost of threaded fastening by sealing the sealing plate A onto bottle B using the heater 50, and the vacuum inside bottle B also prevents the medicine inside from becoming damp and oxidizing.

[0058] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model's technical solution.
