Description

Ampoule flipping mechanism Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ampoule production technology, and in particular to an ampoule flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical (ampoule) production process, in order to facilitate subsequent testing and packaging, the rows of ampoules need to be flipped upside down during the transition between the previous and next steps.

[0003] Currently, existing ampoule flipping technologies generally employ manual operation or single-direction flipping mechanisms (usually relying on manual flipping of each ampoule or only capable of unidirectional flipping). While this method can sustain production briefly in simple scenarios, it cannot achieve continuous automated flipping of rows of ampoules. This results in frequent machine stops for adjustments during production, high manual intervention costs, and a high risk of secondary contamination. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to achieve continuous automated flipping of rows of ampoules, which leads to frequent machine stops for adjustment during production, high costs of manual intervention, and the risk of secondary contamination. The proposed ampoule flipping mechanism addresses these issues.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The ampoule tilting mechanism includes:

[0007] A fixed frame, wherein two connecting frames are symmetrically fixed on one side of the fixed frame, and a motor is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame;

[0008] The fixed frame and the two connecting frames are equipped with a flipping assembly for flipping and conveying ampoules. The fixed frame is equipped with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the tension of the flipping assembly.

[0009] In one possible design, the flipping assembly includes four rotating columns 1 arranged in a trapezoidal shape and rotatably disposed on both sides of the bottom of the fixed frame, and three rotating columns 2 arranged in a triangular shape and rotatably disposed at the bottom of the two connecting frames. Each of the rotating columns 1 and 2 has a pulley fixedly disposed on its exterior. The pulleys are externally driven by the same belt. The belts externally disposed on the pulleys of the four rotating columns 1 are mounted in the forward direction, and the belts externally disposed on the pulleys of the six rotating columns 2 are mounted in the reverse direction. The junction of the forward and reverse belts is arranged in a figure-eight shape. The motor output shaft is fixedly connected to one of the rotating columns 1.

[0010] In one possible design, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment frame detachably mounted on the top of one of the connecting frames by bolts. The top of the adjustment frame has a slotted groove, and a lead screw passes through the inside of the slotted groove. A rotating column three is rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the lead screw. A pulley is also fitted on the outside of the rotating column three. A belt drive is fitted on the pulley of the rotating column three. Adjustment nuts are threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw at both the top and bottom of the adjustment frame.

[0011] In one possible design, guide rollers are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the fixed frame and the bottom of the two connecting frames, with the guide rollers of the fixed frame and the connecting frames close to each other.

[0012] In one possible design, a support frame is fixedly mounted on one side of the fixed frame, and a mounting frame is slidably sleeved on the outside of the support frame. The same horizontal plate is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting frame that is close to it.

[0013] In one possible design, the top of the support frame is threadedly connected to a threaded rod, the bottom end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to a cross plate, the top end of the threaded rod is fixedly equipped with a handwheel, and the outside of the threaded rod located below the support frame is threadedly connected to a locking nut.

[0014] In this application, upon initial use, two connecting frames are first installed on both sides of the fixed frame. Then, the belt is fitted onto the pulleys of rotating column one and rotating column two in a forward-mounted (rotating column one) and reverse-mounted (rotating column two) manner, respectively, ensuring that the belt wraps in a figure-eight shape at the junction of the forward and reverse mountings. Subsequently, an adjusting frame is installed on the top of the connecting frame, and the lead screw is inserted into the slot. Then, adjusting nuts are installed on the outside of rotating column three on the upper and lower sides of the adjusting frame. During this process, the belt is fitted onto the pulley of rotating column three. Then, the adjusting nuts are loosened and the lead screw is pulled, causing the lead screw and rotating column three on it to slide outward in the slot until the belt reaches the appropriate tension. Finally, the adjusting nuts are rotated so that the two adjusting nuts abut against the upper and lower sides of the adjusting frame, thereby fixing the lead screw and ensuring that the belt remains stable during operation.

[0015] The assembled unit is then installed in a suitable position using the mounting bracket. When the overall height of the device needs to be adjusted for use with the corresponding conveying equipment, the handwheel is rotated. As the handwheel rotates, it drives the threaded rod to rotate. As the threaded rod rotates, it moves the support frame upward from the top of the mounting bracket until the overall height of the device matches the conveying path of the ampoule. Then, the locking nut is tightened by rotating the threaded rod until it abuts against the bottom of the support frame, thus locking the position of the support frame and ensuring the overall stability of the device.

[0016] The device is then powered on to begin conveying ampoules. The motor is started first, and its output shaft drives one of the rotating columns to rotate, which in turn drives the belt. The belt rotates in different directions in the forward and reverse sections, forming a conveying path that flips up and down. This allows the ampoules to move along the belt path under the guidance of the guide rollers, thus conveying them by flipping up and down.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention achieves automated up-and-down flipping of the ampoules during the transition between production steps by setting up a flipping component. This not only effectively meets the process requirements of subsequent testing and packaging, but also significantly improves the continuity and automation of the production line, while avoiding the contamination risks and efficiency bottlenecks that may be caused by manual flipping.

[0019] This invention achieves precise adjustment of belt tension in the flipping assembly through the setting of the adjustment mechanism, ensuring that the belt always maintains optimal tension, effectively preventing slippage or jamming, thereby significantly improving the stability and reliability of the flipping conveyor, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-4, the flipping mechanism includes:

[0028] The fixed frame 1 has two connecting frames 2 symmetrically fixed on one side by bolts. The connection frames 2 and the fixed frame 1 provide a stable reference for the installation of subsequent components.

[0029] Four rotating columns 1 (3) are arranged in a trapezoidal shape and are rotatably mounted on both sides of the bottom of the fixed frame 1 via bearing seats. The bearing seats are fastened to the fixed frame 1 with bolts. The rotating shaft of rotating column 1 (3) is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the bearing seat to ensure flexible rotation and no axial movement. Three rotating columns 2 (4) are arranged in a triangular shape and are rotatably mounted on the bottom of two connecting frames 2 via bearing seats. The connection method is the same as that of rotating columns 1 (3), ensuring the stability and rotational accuracy of rotating columns 2 (4). Pulleys are fixedly mounted on the outside of multiple rotating columns 1 (3) and rotating columns 2 (4). Belts 5 are driven and sleeved on all the pulleys. The belts 5 sleeved on the outside of the pulleys of the four rotating columns 1 (3) are upright. The six rotating columns... The belt 5, which is mounted on the outside of the pulley of column 2 4, is reversed. The belt 5 is wrapped in a figure-eight shape at the junction of the forward and reverse mounting. The output shaft of motor 6 is fixedly connected to the shaft of one of the rotating columns 1 3 through a coupling, driving the belt 5 to rotate. Rotating column 1 3 and rotating column 2 4 serve as the support and transmission components of belt 5. Through the cooperation of the forward and reverse mounted belts 5, a figure-eight conveying path is formed, realizing the up and down flipping of the ampoule. The belt 5 serves as the transmission medium, transmitting the power of motor 6 to each rotating column, driving the continuous conveying of the ampoule. Motor 6 provides the power source, driving one of the rotating columns 1 3 to rotate, thereby driving the entire flipping assembly to operate.

[0030] The adjusting frame 8 is detachably mounted on top of one of the connecting frames 2 via bolts, facilitating later maintenance and adjustment. The top of the adjusting frame 8 has a slot 9, through which the lead screw 10 passes. A rotating column 11 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the lead screw 10 via a bearing. A pulley is also fitted onto the outside of the rotating column 11, and the belt 5 is driven onto the pulley of the rotating column 11. Adjusting nuts 12 are threadedly connected to both the top and bottom of the adjusting frame 8 on the outside of the lead screw 10. Rotating the adjusting nuts 12 adjusts the tension of the belt 5. The position of the rotating column 11 is adjusted by sliding the lead screw 10 within the slot 9, thereby adjusting the tension of the belt 5. The adjusting nuts 12 are used to fix the position of the lead screw 10, ensuring that the belt 5 maintains a stable tension during transport.

[0031] Guide rollers 7 are fixed to the bottom sides of the fixed frame 1 and the bottom of the two connecting frames 2 by bolts. The axis of the guide rollers 7 is parallel to the conveying direction of the belt 5 to ensure that the ampoules are stably guided during the conveying process and to prevent them from deviating or getting stuck.

[0032] This application can be used in the field of ampoule flipping technology, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0034] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 further includes: an ampoule bottle flipping mechanism, which is applied to the field of ampoule bottle flipping technology. The support frame 13 is fixedly mounted on one side of the fixed frame 1 by bolts. The mounting frame 14 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the support frame 13, providing overall support and mounting foundation for the device. The same horizontal plate 15 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting frame 14 close to each other by bolts. A threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected through the top of the support frame 13. The bottom end of the threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 15 by bearings. A handwheel 17 is fixedly mounted on the top of the threaded rod 16. By rotating the handwheel 17, the threaded rod 16 is driven to rotate, causing the support frame 13 to slide up and down along the mounting frame 14, adjusting the overall height of the device. A locking nut 18 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 16 below the support frame 13 to lock the position of the support frame 13 and ensure that the device remains stable after the height is adjusted.
