[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vial dispensing technology, specifically a vial gimbal dispensing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Existing vial dispensing mechanisms on the market generally use pallets, conveyor lines, vial shelves, and buffer turntables to transport vials to downstream equipment for further processing. Current vial shelf dispensing systems typically use shelf movement to unload vials layer by layer; during dispensing, vials are generally pushed to the buffer platform using push rods.

This patented technology achieves high stability in the dispensing and conveying of vials, and has a reasonable structural design that is easy to operate. However, the method of moving the shelf has certain requirements on the ground height and the equipment docking height, which cannot be achieved or is not allowed in some scenarios. Therefore, this utility model provides a vial pan-tilt type dispensing mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-2. In this embodiment of the present invention, a vial gimbal feeding mechanism is provided. The gimbal docking component 1 and the gimbal picking component 2 are mounted on the mobile gimbal component 3. The bottle-removing component 7 is mounted on the discharge conveyor line 8, which is connected to the vial buffer platform 6. The mobile gimbal component 3 slides up and down on the gimbal frame 5. Screws are provided at the four corners of the gimbal frame 5. The mobile gimbal component 3 is slidably connected to the screws through the screw seat 32 to form a stable up and down movement state. A servo power component 4 is provided on the lower side of the mobile gimbal component 3. The servo power component 4 drives the mobile gimbal component 3 to move up and down through the screw component. A platform plate 31 is provided on the lower side of the mobile gimbal component 3. The gimbal docking component 1 is slidably connected to the platform plate 31. The lower side of the gimbal docking component 1 is moved horizontally by a driving device, which is an electric telescopic rod or a pneumatic telescopic rod. A guide rail is fixed on the upper side of the side frame 31, and rollers are rotatably connected on the guide rail.

[0020] The gimbal material handling assembly 2 includes two in-depth frames 23 on both sides. A guide rail is fixed to the lower side of the in-depth frame 23. The guide rail slides on the rollers to move. The outer side of the in-depth frame 23 is rotatably connected to the drive belt 21. The left end of the drive belt 21 is connected to the drive assembly 24. A moving rod 22 is fixed on the upper side of the in-depth frame 23. The drive assembly 24 includes a motor and a drive rod. The drive rod is connected to the drive belt 21 at both ends. A pressure wheel is provided on the upper left side of the drive belt 21 to position the drive belt 21. The upper side of the vial buffer platform 6 is provided with a guide plate and a feed port 61. A vibration motor is installed on the lower side of the vial buffer platform 6 to help move the vials. The opening at the feed port 61 gradually narrows so that the vials enter the discharge conveyor line 8 in a single row. The bottle rejection assembly 7 uses existing devices to detect non-conforming vials by photoelectric detection or machine vision and guides them to the NG box.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the shelf is moved to one side of the device, and the telescopic rod drives the moving gimbal assembly 3 to move to the level of the shelf filled with vials. The driving device drives the gimbal docking assembly 1 to go deep into the shelf. After reaching the bottom, the driving assembly 24 drives the driving belt 21 to rotate, thereby changing the position of the moving rod 22. The upper moving rod 22 is then moved to the lower side. Through the further rotation of the driving assembly 24, the vials on the shelf are pushed onto the moving gimbal assembly 3. When all the vials have moved onto the moving gimbal assembly 3, the driving belt 21 further drives the moving rod 22 to the upper side, and the driving device drives the gimbal docking assembly 1 back to the initial position.

[0022] Then the telescopic rod drives the mobile gimbal assembly 3 to the height of the vial buffer platform 6, and the drive belt 21 further drives the mobile rod 22 to move, bringing it to the guide plate for unloading.

[0023] The gimbal docking component 1 is responsible for docking with the vial shelf; the gimbal picking component 2 is responsible for moving the vials from the shelf to the gimbal docking component 1 after docking, and moving the vials from the moving gimbal component 3 to the vial buffer platform 6; the servo power component 4 is responsible for moving the moving gimbal component 3 up and down; the vial buffer platform 6 is responsible for conveying the vials one by one to the discharge conveyor line 8; the bottle inversion rejection component 7 is responsible for inverting and rejecting the vials; the discharge conveyor line 8 is responsible for docking and conveying the vials to the downstream equipment.

[0024] The vial shelves are in a fixed position and do not require changing the floor.

[0025] The vials are fed layer by layer, with high docking and positioning accuracy, reducing the risk of bottles tipping over.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
