Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine bottle conveying equipment, and in particular to a medicine bottle clamping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In pharmaceutical production, small vials such as ampoules typically require batch transport. Traditional transport methods rely heavily on manual operation, where operators must manually arrange the scattered vials to ensure they are in uniform position before moving them. However, this method has several drawbacks: First, it is inefficient, as manual arrangement and transport are time-consuming and cannot meet the demands of large-scale production or rapid dispensing. Second, it has a high failure rate; manual handling can easily lead to vials tipping over, colliding, or even breaking due to misalignment, especially on high-speed production lines where stability is poor.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated bottle clamping mechanism that can adaptively clamp medicine bottles in different arrangements to improve transport efficiency and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medicine bottle clamping mechanism that can quickly sort and clamp medicine bottles, improve the efficiency of batch medicine bottle transfer, and enhance the stability of the transfer.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A medicine bottle clamping mechanism includes two sets of clamping members disposed under the same support surface. The two sets of clamping members are arranged vertically, and the two clamping members in each set are arranged symmetrically. One set of clamping members includes a first linear drive unit, one end of which is provided with a clamping plate. The other set of clamping members includes a second linear drive unit, which drives a plurality of elastically arranged push rods.

[0007] Preferably, it further includes a support plate, and both the first linear drive unit and the second linear drive unit are disposed below the support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the first linear drive unit is a cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the second linear drive unit is a servo electric cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the drive end of the second linear drive unit is provided with a buffer box, the push rod is movably inserted into the buffer box, and a buffer spring connected to the push rod is provided inside the buffer box.

[0011] Preferably, an adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the buffer box at the end of the buffer spring away from the push rod, and a bushing is coaxially provided at the end of the adjusting screw located inside the buffer box, with one end of the buffer spring abutting against the bushing; a limiting rod passes through the end of the push rod connected to the buffer spring.

[0012] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the push rod is polygonal, and the end of the push rod is configured as an arc-shaped groove that matches the body of the medicine bottle.

[0013] Preferably, the push rods are arranged at intervals along the same horizontal direction.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the clamping plate is provided with a gasket.

[0015] Preferably, both the first linear drive unit and the second linear drive unit are connected to the support plate by bolts.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By vertically arranging two sets of clamping members, this utility model can clamp the medicine bottle from different directions when the two clamping members in each set move relative to each other, thereby completing the clamping and fixing of the medicine bottle; it can complete the rapid transfer of batch medicine bottles with the help of a robotic arm; the elastic setting of the push rod in one set of clamping members can buffer the force acting on the medicine bottle during the bottle pushing process, and cooperate with the clamping plate in the other set of clamping members to gradually and orderly reset the misaligned medicine bottle, thereby completing the tight clamping of the medicine bottle and ensuring the stability of the medicine bottle during transfer.

[0021] The present invention will now be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the medicine bottle clamping mechanism of this utility model includes two sets of clamping members arranged on the same supporting surface. The two sets of clamping members are arranged vertically, with two clamping members symmetrically arranged in each set. One set of clamping members includes a first linear drive unit 1, with a clamping plate 2 at one end. The other set of clamping members includes a second linear drive unit 3, which drives several elastically arranged push rods 4. During operation, the first linear drive unit 1 is controlled to push the clamping plate 2 to both sides of the medicine bottle, leaving a gap of a few millimeters between the clamping plate 2 and the medicine bottle. This provides adjustment space for the push rods 4 to adjust the medicine bottle when they are applied to it, thereby achieving tight clamping of a batch of medicine bottles and reducing the probability of the medicine bottles falling during transportation. If the push rods 4 and the clamping plate 2 clamp both sides of the medicine bottle at the same time, there will be a lack of buffer space for the misaligned medicine bottles to be adjusted, making it impossible to clamp and fix the medicine bottles, thus causing the medicine bottles to fall during transportation.

[0023] Furthermore, this utility model also includes a support plate 5, which provides a supporting plane for the installation of the two sets of clamping components. Both the first linear drive unit 1 and the second linear drive unit 3 are bolted below the support plate 5, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement of the first and second linear drive units. In this example, the first linear drive unit 1 is a pneumatic cylinder, and the second linear drive unit 3 is a servo electric cylinder. Since servo electric cylinders are superior to pneumatic cylinders in terms of precision, controllability, and reliability, using a servo electric cylinder for the second linear drive unit 3 connected to the push rod 4 improves the effect of sorting, straightening, and clamping the medicine bottles.

[0024] Furthermore, the driving end of the second linear drive unit 3 is provided with a buffer box 6, and push rods 4 are arranged at intervals along the same horizontal direction, with one end of the push rod 4 movably passing through the buffer box 6. A buffer spring 7 connected to the push rod 4 is provided inside the buffer box 6. During operation, the second linear drive unit 3 works, pushing the buffer box 6 to move, and the push rod 4 moves synchronously, with its end abutting against the body of the medicine bottle. The buffer spring 7 will experience different forces depending on the position of the medicine bottle, thus producing different degrees of deformation, thereby causing the push rod 4 to move and achieving the straightening of the medicine bottle. In addition, an adjusting screw 8 is threadedly connected to the buffer box 6 at the end of the buffer spring 7 away from the push rod 4. A bushing 9 is coaxially provided at the end of the adjusting screw 8 located inside the buffer box 6, and the end of the buffer spring 7 away from the push rod 4 abuts against the bushing 9. A limiting rod 10 passes through the end of the push rod 4 connected to the buffer spring 7 to prevent the push rod 4 from being pushed out of the buffer box 6 synchronously when the adjusting screw is rotated to push the buffer spring 7 to deform.

[0025] In this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the push rod 4 is a polygonal structure, and the end of the push rod 4 is set with an arc-shaped groove that matches the body of the medicine bottle. The arc-shaped groove can better fit with the cylindrical body of the medicine bottle, improving the tightness of contact with the medicine bottle. The polygonal cross-section of the push rod 4 can cooperate with the polygonal opening on the buffer box 6 to limit the push rod 4, prevent the push rod 4 from rotating, and ensure the stability of the push rod 4. In addition, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the clamping plate 2 is provided with a gasket to improve the tightness after contact with the medicine bottle, and at the same time reduce the wear caused by the medicine bottle body. In this embodiment, a vacuum suction cup can also be set at the bottom of the support plate 5. After the clamping parts on both sides have completed clamping the medicine bottle, the vacuum suction cup can be used to adsorb onto the bottle head of the medicine bottle, further improving the stability of the medicine bottle transportation.

[0026] When this utility model is in operation, firstly, the clamping plates 2 on both sides are controlled to move to the outside of the medicine bottle and maintain a certain distance from the medicine bottle. Then, the push rod 4 is controlled to move so that the push rod 4 abuts against the body of the medicine bottle. At this time, the staggered medicine bottles arranged in rows will be regularly arranged under the action of the push rod 4, and the medicine bottles on both sides of the clamping plate 2 will be displaced and tightly abut against the clamping plate 2. At this time, the batch clamping operation of the medicine bottles is completed. Finally, it can be transferred in cooperation with the robotic arm.
