Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inkjet printing detection and rejection technology for medicine bottle coatings, and particularly relates to an inkjet printing detection and rejection machine for medicine bottle coatings. Background Technology
[0002] Existing ampoule bottle coating inkjet inspection and rejection machines first process the filling process, then spray product information such as production batch number and date onto the surface before placing them into trays. The machines then effectively screen out bottles with substandard printing and trays with substandard trays, rejecting the unqualified products. For example, our previous generation product with application number 202411006559.5, in actual use, was found to rotate during the tray placement process after spraying, causing the printed content to be inconsistent in orientation, resulting in incorrect inspection upon arrival at the inspection and rejection mechanism. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medicine bottle coating inkjet inspection and rejection machine. By adding a printing coating process, the subsequent inkjet printing display is clearer. Furthermore, by adopting a setting of first spraying the coating and then mounting the tray before inkjet printing, the tray plays an indirect limiting role, which simplifies the printing process and can make the printed content face the same direction, facilitating the implementation of subsequent character detection functions.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A medicine bottle coating inkjet inspection and rejection machine includes a box tray storage mechanism, which places empty box trays onto an empty box tray conveyor belt via a tray separating mechanism. It also includes a medicine bottle feeding mechanism, which conveys medicine bottles to a medicine bottle conveyor chain via a vertical-to-horizontal mechanism. The medicine bottle conveyor chain is located below the coating mechanism. After the medicine bottles are coated by the coating mechanism, they are loaded into the box trays via a crescent-shaped component, pressed by a bottle pressing mechanism, and then conveyed to the inkjet mechanism via the box tray conveyor belt. The end of the inkjet mechanism is connected to the inspection and rejection mechanism. The bottle pressing mechanism includes... The system includes a bottle-pressing roller, which is vertically rotating and installed at a certain height above the box tray conveyor belt. The bottle-pressing roller can press down any bottles that are not fully placed in the box tray slots to ensure the quality of the bottles entering the tray. A vertical-to-horizontal mechanism is connected to the feeding mechanism via a feeding conveyor belt, comprising a first feeding screw and a second feeding screw. The bottles are placed upright on the feeding conveyor belt and conveyed forward to the first feeding screw. The first feeding screw is horizontally installed at the unloading port of the feeding conveyor belt, perpendicular to the feeding direction. The second feeding screw is arranged side-by-side with the first feeding screw, and a vertical baffle is provided on one side of the discharge end of the first feeding screw. The discharge end of the second feeding screw is connected to the inlet end of the first conveyor through a discharge port below the first housing. Under the conveying of the first feeding screw, the medicine bottle enters the conveying gap between the vertical baffle and the first feeding screw in a vertical state, and is fed into the feeding end of the second feeding screw from the conveying gap between the vertical baffle and the first feeding screw. The second feeding screw is provided with a first arc-shaped baffle on the side away from the vertical baffle. The side of the first arc-shaped baffle near the second feeding screw is provided with an inclined guiding arc surface that gradually turns from vertical to horizontal, so as to change the medicine bottle from a vertical state to a horizontal lying state, which makes it easier for the medicine bottle to be conveyed horizontally and stably on the medicine bottle conveyor. The box tray storage mechanism, the tray separating mechanism, the medicine bottle feeding mechanism, the vertical to horizontal mechanism, the medicine bottle conveying chain, the crescent component and the bottle pressing mechanism have all been described in our previous applications. Here, they are presented as existing technology and their technical features will not be repeated.
[0006] Furthermore, the inkjet mechanism includes an inkjet printer and an inkjet conveyor belt, with the inkjet conveyor belt located below the inkjet printer.
[0007] Furthermore, the detection rejection mechanism includes a detection conveyor belt and a visual detection rejection mechanism.
[0008] Furthermore, the visual inspection rejection mechanism includes a good product collection bin and a waste product collection bin.
[0009] Furthermore, the empty tray conveyor belt, the box tray conveyor belt, the inkjet conveyor belt, and the inspection conveyor belt are located on the same horizontal plane.
[0010] The advantages of this invention are: by adding a printing coating process, the subsequent inkjet printing display is clearer. Furthermore, by adopting the setting of first spraying the coating and then mounting the tray, the tray plays an indirect limiting role, which simplifies the printing process and allows the printed content to face in a uniform direction, facilitating the implementation of subsequent character detection functions.

[0013] As shown in the figure, a medicine bottle coating inkjet inspection and rejection machine includes a box tray storage mechanism 1, which places empty box trays onto an empty box tray conveyor belt 3 via a tray separating mechanism 2. It also includes a medicine bottle feeding mechanism 9, which transports medicine bottles to a medicine bottle conveyor chain 7 via a vertical-to-horizontal mechanism 8. The medicine bottle conveyor chain is located below a coating mechanism 6. After being coated by the coating mechanism, the medicine bottles are loaded into box trays via a crescent component 4, pressed by a bottle pressing mechanism, and then conveyed to an inkjet mechanism via a box tray conveyor belt 5. The end of the inkjet mechanism is connected to an inspection and rejection mechanism. The inkjet mechanism includes an inkjet printer 10 and an inkjet conveyor belt 11, with the inkjet conveyor belt located below the inkjet printer. The inspection and rejection mechanism includes an inspection conveyor belt 12 and a visual inspection and rejection mechanism 13. The visual inspection and rejection mechanism includes a good product collection bin 15 and a waste product collection bin 14; the empty tray conveyor belt, box tray conveyor belt, inkjet conveyor belt, and inspection conveyor belt are located on the same horizontal plane; the bottle pressing mechanism includes a bottle pressing roller, which is vertically rotated and installed at a certain height above the box tray conveyor belt. The bottle pressing roller can press down the medicine bottles that are not completely placed in the box tray slot, thereby ensuring the quality of the medicine bottles entering the tray; the vertical-to-horizontal mechanism 8 is connected to the feeding mechanism and the feeding conveyor belt, and consists of a first feeding screw 81 and a second feeding screw 82. The medicine bottles are placed upright on the feeding conveyor belt and conveyed forward to the first feeding screw. The first feeding screw is installed horizontally at the discharge port of the feeding conveyor belt, perpendicular to the feeding direction of the feeding conveyor belt. The second feeding screw is arranged side by side with the first feeding screw and the ends are corresponding. A vertical baffle 83 is provided on one side of the discharge end of the first feeding screw. The discharge end of the second feeding screw is connected to the feed end of the first conveyor through the discharge port below the first housing 84. Under the conveying of the first feeding screw, the medicine bottle enters the conveying gap between the vertical baffle and the first feeding screw in a vertical state, and is fed into the feed end of the second feeding screw from the conveying gap between the vertical baffle and the first feeding screw. The second feeding screw is provided with a first arc-shaped baffle on the side away from the vertical baffle. The first arc-shaped baffle 85 is provided with an inclined guiding arc surface that gradually turns from vertical to horizontal on the side near the second feeding screw, so as to change the medicine bottle from a vertical state to a horizontal lying state, which makes it easier for the medicine bottle to be conveyed horizontally and stably on the medicine bottle conveyor. Here, the box tray storage mechanism, the tray separating mechanism, the medicine bottle feeding mechanism, the vertical to horizontal mechanism, the medicine bottle conveying chain, the crescent component and the bottle pressing mechanism have all been described in the previous applications of this company. They are presented here as prior art, and the technical features will not be repeated.
[0014] In practical use, this design is a coating inkjet inspection and rejection machine. Compared to a general inkjet printer, it adds a coating process, making the printed pattern more durable and aesthetically pleasing. First, empty box trays are loaded into the box tray storage assembly. Multiple pushing structures send the box trays to the sorting mechanism for sorting, and then the empty trays are conveyed to the crescent-shaped assembly via an empty tray conveyor belt. Simultaneously, medicine bottles enter the medicine bottle feeding belt, and a vertical-to-horizontal structure transports the medicine bottles to the medicine bottle conveyor chain. The coating head begins to apply a coating to the bottles, and then the crescent-shaped assembly loads the medicine bottles into the box trays. The box tray conveyor assembly transports the box trays containing the coated medicine bottles to the inkjet conveyor belt, where the inkjet head begins to print ink onto the medicine bottles in the box trays. The inkjet conveyor belt transports the printed box trays to the inspection conveyor belt. A visual inspection and rejection mechanism rejects box trays with missing bottles or printing defects, sending them to the waste collection bin. Good products are output to the next process through the good product output end, completing the coating inkjet inspection and rejection process.
