Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of reagent kit preparation equipment, and in particular to a conveying device suitable for labeling reagent kits. Background Technology
[0002] Reagent kit labeling conveyor systems are widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, and other fields, and are an indispensable part of automated production lines. By conveying reagent kits in an orderly manner and fixing them with a clamping mechanism, they work in conjunction with labeling machines to complete the labeling process, significantly improving production efficiency and automation levels. With the development of industrial automation technology, such devices have played a crucial role in increasing production speed, reducing manual intervention, and enhancing product quality.
[0003] refer to Figure 1 A current reagent kit 100 includes a housing 101 and reagent bottles filled inside the housing 101. A snap-fit block 102 and a clip 103 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the housing 101. The snap-fit block 102 is located near the bottom of the housing 101, and one end of the clip 103 is fixedly mounted on the housing 101, while the other end of the clip 103 is located away from the housing 101 and at the top of the housing 101. The snap-fit block 102 and the clip 103 are used in conjunction with a reagent fusion device to improve the stability of the installation.
[0004] The clamping mechanism typically includes a pressing block for clamping the reagent kit and a conveyor belt, with the conveyor belt traveling at the same speed as the main conveyor belt. As the reagent kit approaches the labeling machine along the conveyor belt, the drive unit moves the pressing block, which in turn moves the conveyor belt to clamp the reagent kit. The labeling machine then pre-applies a label to the reagent kit. With the movement of the conveyor belt and the conveyor belt, the labeling process is completed.
[0005] However, because existing reagent kits have clips that protrude from the kit body, the clamping mechanism can damage the clips during the clamping process, affecting the quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to avoid damage to the clamps during the clamping process and improve the quality of the finished product, this application provides a conveying device suitable for labeling reagent kits.
[0007] The present application provides a delivery device suitable for labeling reagent kits, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A conveying device suitable for labeling reagent kits includes a frame, on which a conveyor belt, a pressing mechanism, and a material alignment mechanism are mounted, and a labeling machine is mounted next to the frame corresponding to the pressing mechanism; a clearance groove is formed on the side of the lower pressing block near the conveyor belt along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and a clip away from the top of the conveyor belt can be inserted into the clearance groove; a clearance hole is formed on the conveyor belt, and the shape of the clearance hole corresponds to the shape of the groove opening.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the clearance groove and clearance hole can effectively prevent the clamping mechanism from damaging the clamp when clamping the reagent kit, thereby improving the finished quality of the reagent kit and ensuring the smooth progress of the labeling process.
[0010] Preferably, multiple relief grooves and relief holes are provided, and the multiple relief grooves and multiple relief holes are evenly arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. The length dimension of the relief groove along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt is equal to or greater than the conveying distance of the conveyor belt within the time required for the labeling process, and the center distance between adjacent relief holes is equal to the center distance between adjacent relief grooves.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the clips on the reagent kit can always be stably inserted into the relief slot during the labeling process, avoiding damage to the clamping mechanism caused by the movement of the conveyor belt causing the clips to fall out of the relief slot, thereby further improving the stability and safety of the reagent kit during the labeling process.
[0012] Preferably, the material feeding mechanism includes a plurality of baffles disposed on the conveyor belt, and a material pushing component disposed on the side of the pressing mechanism near the feed end of the conveyor belt; the plurality of baffles are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, the center distance between adjacent baffles is equal to the center distance between adjacent clearance holes, and the reagent kit is placed between two adjacent baffles.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the baffle provides a clear positioning benchmark for the reagent kit. The spacing of the baffle matches the center distance of the clearance hole, so that the spacing of the reagent kits is synchronized with the rhythm of the labeling machine, realizing efficient production line operation and avoiding the problem that the clamp cannot be correctly inserted into the clearance slot due to position deviation. In addition, by setting the pusher component, the reagent kit can be tightly attached to the baffle, improving the neatness of the reagent kit arrangement.
[0014] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a mounting plate, a mounting post, and an elastic baffle. Two mounting plates are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the conveyor belt. The mounting plates have mounting holes along a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt. The mounting post has a plug-in post on the side near the mounting plate, and the plug-in post is inserted into the mounting hole. The mounting post has a slot at an angle on the side near the conveyor belt. One end of the elastic baffle along its length is inserted into the slot, and the other end of the elastic baffle is used to abut against the reagent kit.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the reagent kit is conveyed to the feeding area by the conveyor belt. The front end passes between two elastic baffles. The elastic baffles generate static friction with the side wall of the reagent kit, pushing the reagent kit to move slightly in the opposite direction of the conveying direction. The reagent kit stops moving when the rear end contacts the rear baffle, so that the clip can be inserted into the clearance groove in the subsequent labeling process.
[0016] Preferably, the mounting hole is generally waist-shaped, and the length direction of the mounting hole is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation position of the mounting column can be adjusted, thus expanding its applicable scope.
[0018] Preferably, a support baffle is also inserted into the slot.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the function of the support baffle is to provide auxiliary support for the elastic baffle, enhance the structural rigidity, and prevent the elastic baffle from undergoing excessive deformation or bending due to large reaction force during the push of the reagent kit, thereby ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the push action.
[0020] Preferably, a detection sensor is also installed on the frame, and the detection sensor is located on the side of the material feeding mechanism away from the pressing mechanism, with the probe of the detection sensor facing the conveyor belt.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the detection sensor can monitor the arrival of the reagent kit in real time.
[0022] Preferably, guide plates are provided on the frame corresponding to the opposite sides of the conveyor belt, and the guide plates are located between the material matching mechanism and the pressing mechanism.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide plate restricts the lateral movement of the reagent kit during the conveyor process and corrects the position of the reagent kit on the conveyor belt to facilitate the subsequent labeling process.
[0024] Preferably, the guide plate has a guide slope on its end face near the material feeding mechanism.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide slope guides the reagent kit smoothly into the space between the two guide plates, improving the smoothness of the transfer.
[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0027] 1. By setting a relief groove in the lower pressure block and opening relief holes on the conveyor belt that correspond to the shape of the relief groove, damage to the top clamp of the reagent kit by the clamping mechanism can be effectively avoided, ensuring the structural integrity of the reagent kit and improving product quality.
[0028] 2. Through the equidistant matching design of the relief grooves and relief holes, and the linkage between the conveyor belt and the pressing mechanism, it is ensured that the card clip is strictly synchronized with the placement of the relief grooves and relief holes during the labeling process;
[0029] 3. The design of the waist-shaped hole and the guide plate's inclined structure allow the device to adapt to reagent kits of different sizes and ensure a smooth, jam-free delivery process, enhancing the device's versatility and stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0037] This application discloses a delivery device suitable for labeling reagent kits.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A conveyor device for labeling reagent kits includes a frame 1, on which a conveyor belt 2, a clamping mechanism 3, and a material alignment mechanism 5 are mounted. A labeler 4 is positioned next to the frame 1, close to the clamping mechanism 3. A plurality of clearance grooves 311 are evenly distributed along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2 on the side of the lower pressure block 31 near the conveyor belt 2, allowing the top of the clip 103 away from the conveyor belt 2 to be inserted into the clearance grooves 311. A plurality of clearance holes 321 are evenly distributed along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 32, and the shape of the clearance holes 321 corresponds to the shape of the opening of the clearance grooves 311. This structure effectively prevents the clamping mechanism 3 from damaging the clip 103 and ensures the stability of the reagent kit 100 during the labeling process.
[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The relief groove 311 has an oblong cross-section, and its length is parallel to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 32. Besides the oblong cross-section, the relief groove 311 can also be elliptical or rectangular, among other shapes. The length of the relief groove 311 is equal to or greater than the conveying distance of the conveyor belt 2 within the time required for the labeling process, and the center distance between adjacent relief holes 321 is equal to the center distance between adjacent relief grooves 311. This ensures that the clip 103 remains within the relief groove 311 throughout the entire labeling process, preventing misalignment or damage.
[0040] Reference Figure 5 The feeding mechanism 5 includes multiple baffles 51 mounted on the conveyor belt 2, and a pushing component 52 mounted on the pressing mechanism 3 near the feed end of the conveyor belt 2. The reagent kit 100 is placed between two adjacent baffles 51. Each baffle 51 is rectangular in shape, and its length direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The baffles 51 can be made of materials such as metal or hard plastic to ensure sufficient strength and wear resistance. Multiple baffles 51 are evenly distributed along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. Furthermore, the center distance between adjacent baffles 51 is equal to the center distance between adjacent clearance slots 311, ensuring that the clip 103 on each reagent kit 100 can be inserted into the clearance slot 311. Preferably, a detection sensor 6 is also mounted on the side of the pushing component 52 opposite to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, with the detection probe of the detection sensor 6 facing the conveyor belt 2, for real-time monitoring of whether a reagent kit 100 is placed between adjacent baffles 51, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the production process.
[0041] The feeding assembly 52 includes a mounting plate 521, a mounting column 523, and an elastic baffle 525. The elastic baffle 525 is made of a material with a certain elastic deformation capacity, such as silicone or rubber. Two mounting plates 521 are provided, symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 2 and mounted on the frame 1. The mounting plate 521 is generally L-shaped, with one end mounted on the frame 1 and the other end perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2 and away from the frame 1. The other end of the mounting plate 521 also has a mounting hole 522 along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The mounting column 523 is generally cylindrical, with its length perpendicular to the surface of the mounting plate 521 with the mounting hole 522. A slot 524 is obliquely provided on the side of the mounting column 523 closest to the conveyor belt 2.
[0042] A plug-in post is provided on the side of the mounting post 523 near the mounting plate 521, and the plug-in post is inserted into the mounting hole 522. The elastic baffle 525 is rectangular, and the surface of the elastic baffle 525 is perpendicular to the surface of the mounting plate 521 where the mounting hole 522 is located. One end of the elastic baffle 525 along its length is inserted into the slot 524, and the other end of the elastic baffle 525 is used to press against the reagent kit 100. In addition, a support baffle 526 is also inserted into the slot 524 away from the feed end. By setting the support baffle 526, the elastic baffle 525 is provided with additional rigid support, preventing excessive bending or deformation due to excessive force when pushing the reagent kit 100, and ensuring stable and reliable pushing action.
[0043] Preferably, the mounting hole 522 is generally waist-shaped, and the length direction of the mounting hole 522 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The insert is slidably inserted into the mounting hole 522, so that the mounting position of the mounting post 523 can be changed to change the mounting position of the elastic baffle 525 to accommodate reagent kits 100 of different sizes.
[0044] After the reagent kit 100 is placed on the conveyor belt 2, the front end of the reagent kit 100 passes between the two elastic baffles 525. Simultaneously, friction is generated between the elastic baffles 525 and the sidewalls of the reagent kit 100, causing the reagent kit 100 to move backward away from the conveyor belt 2 until it abuts against the rear stop bar 51. The stop bar 51 then separates the elastic baffles 525 and the reagent kit 100. This process further ensures the stable insertion of the clip 103 and the clearance slot 311.
[0045] Guide plates 7 are also provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 2 along its length, and the guide plates 7 are located between the material alignment mechanism 5 and the pressing mechanism 3. The guide plates 7 are generally cuboid in shape, and their length direction is parallel to the length direction of the conveyor belt 2. By setting the guide plates 7, the position of the reagent kit 100 can be corrected to facilitate the subsequent labeling process. Preferably, the two guide plates 7 are provided with guide ramps 71 facing each other on the side near the material alignment mechanism 5, so as to allow the reagent kit 100 to enter between the two guide plates 7.
[0046] The implementation principle of a conveying device for labeling reagent kits according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: by setting a relief groove 311 on the lower pressing block 31 and opening a relief hole 321 on the conveying belt 32 corresponding to the shape of the relief groove 311, damage to the top clamp 103 of the reagent kit 100 caused by the pressing mechanism 3 can be effectively avoided, ensuring the structural integrity of the reagent kit 100 and improving product quality; the feeding mechanism 5, through the cooperation of the baffle 51 and the pushing component 52, can accurately control the position of the reagent kit 100, so that the clamp 103 is accurately inserted into the relief groove 311, further improving the accuracy of the pressing process and reducing the problem of position offset.
[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
