Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical dispensing technology, specifically to a feeding mechanism and a pharmaceutical dispensing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of pharmaceutical manufacturing and medical dispensing, the automated feeding and clamping of ampoules (small glass vials used to hold injectable medications) is a crucial step. Traditional feeding mechanisms typically employ rigid clamping methods, directly holding the ampoules with mechanical grippers or fixed clamps, resulting in rigid contact between the mechanism and the ampoule. Therefore, this method suffers from drawbacks such as easy damage to the ampoules and insufficient clamping stability. To address these issues, this invention provides a feeding mechanism and a pharmaceutical dispensing system. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding mechanism and a drug dispensing system that can protect the ampoules and prevent them from being damaged when the feeding mechanism clamps and transports them.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides a feeding mechanism, comprising:

[0005] The feeding plate is provided with multiple clamping holes, and the clamping holes are through holes. The multiple clamping holes in each column are grouped together.

[0006] Multiple clamping assemblies are slidably mounted within cavities provided inside the loading plate, the cavities communicating with clamping holes. Each clamping assembly includes:

[0007] The base rod has multiple clamping parts fixedly connected to it. Each clamping part has a buffer part. When clamping, the buffer part presses against the ampoule and produces elastic deformation. The buffer part cooperates with the inner wall of the clamping hole to clamp the ampoule.

[0008] Preferably, the number of clamping components corresponds to the number of columns of clamping holes, and the number of clamping parts corresponds to the number of clamping holes in a column.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping part is arc-shaped, and the opening of the arc of the clamping part faces the center of the corresponding clamping hole, and the arc-shaped side of the clamping part is fixedly connected to the corresponding base rod.

[0010] Preferably, the buffer portion includes two spring pieces, which are mounted on the side of the clamping portion away from the corresponding base rod, and the two spring pieces are symmetrical about the center of the corresponding clamping portion.

[0011] Preferably, the ends of the two spring pieces that are far apart from each other are fixed ends, and the ends that are close to each other are floating ends.

[0012] Preferably, the ends of the two spring pieces that are far apart from each other are folded towards the clamping part to form a "U" shape and are fixedly connected to the clamping part, while the ends that are close to each other are folded towards the clamping part to form an arc shape, and the folded ends are pressed against the side wall of the clamping part under their own elastic force.

[0013] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixedly connected at the position where the clamping hole communicates with the cavity.

[0014] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the feeding plate, and a connector is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket.

[0015] Preferably, the base rod is driven by a corresponding electric push rod, which is installed inside the cavity.

[0016] A drug dispensing system includes: dispensing equipment, and also includes the aforementioned feeding mechanism.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This invention, through the design of the clamping part and the spring piece, achieves that when clamping the ampoule, the spring piece presses against the ampoule and generates elastic deformation, thereby achieving soft contact between the spring piece and the ampoule during the clamping process, avoiding hard collisions, and thus protecting the ampoule.

[0019] This invention features a rubber pad fixedly connected at the position where the clamping hole communicates with the cavity. During clamping, the spring contactes the ampoule via the rubber pad. The rubber pad further protects the ampoule from damage and also increases the friction between the spring and the ampoule, thus clamping the ampoule more stably. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] This utility model provides a feeding mechanism and a drug dispensing system, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] A feeding mechanism includes a feeding plate 1, a mounting bracket 9 fixedly connected to the feeding plate 1, and a connector 10 fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 9. The feeding plate 1 has multiple clamping holes 2 arranged in a matrix on the feeding plate 1, with multiple clamping holes 2 in each column forming a group. The inner diameter of the clamping holes 2 is slightly larger than the diameter of the ampoule. A cavity 3 is provided on one side of each column of clamping holes 2 inside the feeding plate 1. The clamping holes 2 communicate with the corresponding cavities 3. A clamping component is installed inside the cavity 3, and a semi-circular rubber pad 8 is provided at the communicating position. When the clamping component clamps the ampoule, the rubber pad 8 can buffer the contact and increase the friction, which can not only protect the ampoule during the clamping process but also ensure the stability of the clamping.

[0033] The clamping assembly includes a base rod 4, which is slidably installed inside the corresponding cavity 3 and driven by an electric push rod 7 installed inside the cavity 3. Multiple clamping parts 5 are fixedly connected to the side of the base rod 4 away from the corresponding electric push rod 7. The number of clamping parts 5 corresponds one-to-one with the number of clamping holes 2 in a row. The shape of the clamping part 5 is arc-shaped, and the opening of the arc of the clamping part 5 faces the center of the corresponding clamping hole 2. The arc-shaped side of the clamping part 5 is fixedly connected to the corresponding base rod 4. During clamping, the output rod of the electric push rod 7 extends and pushes the base rod 4 to move in the direction of the corresponding clamping hole 2, so that the clamping part 5 can cooperate with the side wall of the corresponding clamping hole 2 to clamp the ampoule.

[0034] The electric actuator 7 is connected to an external power source via a cable.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to further protect the ampoule during clamping, a buffer part is provided on the clamping part 5. The buffer part includes two spring pieces 6. The spring pieces 6 are installed on the side of the clamping part 5 away from the corresponding base rod 4. The two spring pieces 6 are symmetrical about the center of the corresponding clamping part 5. The ends of the two spring pieces 6 that are far apart from each other are folded in the direction of the clamping part 5 to form a "U" shape and are fixedly connected to the clamping part 5 to form a fixed end. The ends that are close to each other are folded in the direction of the clamping part 5 to form an arc shape. The arc shape presses against the side wall of the clamping part 5 under its own elastic force. During clamping, the spring pieces 6 press against the ampoule and generate elastic deformation. During the clamping process, they form soft contact with the surface of the ampoule to avoid hard collision and protect the ampoule.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] A drug dispensing system includes: dispensing equipment, and also includes the aforementioned feeding mechanism.

[0039] The feeding mechanism is installed on the dispensing equipment via connector 10.
