[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle opening technology, and in particular to an ampoule bottle folding device. Background Technology

[0002] An ampoule is a small, sealed container primarily used to store injectable medications. It is mainly made of glass and features a narrow neck design to achieve a sterile seal. The neck of the ampoule must be broken off to ensure that the medication is used only once.

[0003] There are generally two ways to open an ampoule: one is to pry it open by hand, and the other is to hold a hard object and tap it against the blue tapping point.

[0004] However, prying it open by hand can easily result in cuts from the glass; the tapping method requires skill, otherwise it is difficult to hit the blue tapping point, producing a relatively large amount of glass shards, or even breaking the bottle. In addition, to avoid being cut by glass shards, you need to aim at the trash can when tapping, which is very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems in existing technologies, such as the risk of hand injury from prying open the object by hand and the difficulty in aligning the blue striking point when striking with a hard object.

[0006] This invention further solves the problem in the prior art that it requires aiming at the trash can and striking it, which is inconvenient to use.

It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] As shown in Figures 1-4, an ampoule folding device includes a housing 1, a driving mechanism, an intermittent reciprocating mechanism, a reset mechanism, a storage box, and a striking part.

[0039] An intermittent reciprocating mechanism is mounted on the housing 1 and is connected to the reset mechanism via a transmission connection. This mechanism drives the reset mechanism and stores potential energy. In this embodiment, the intermittent reciprocating mechanism includes a rack and pinion intermittent reciprocating mechanism 3. The rack and pinion intermittent reciprocating mechanism 3 includes a rack 31 and an incomplete gear 32 that are meshed and connected via a transmission connection. Semi-cylindrical sliders 311 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the rack 31. A sliding groove 15 that mates with the slider 311 is provided inside the housing 1 along the left-right direction. A connecting block 312 is fixed to the upper right end of the rack 31 and is fixedly connected to the reset mechanism.

[0040] Intermittent reciprocating mechanisms are not limited to the gear and rack intermittent reciprocating mechanism 3 shown in Figures 3-4. Intermittent reciprocating mechanisms can also be crank-slider mechanisms, etc.

[0041] A reset mechanism is mounted on the housing 1. One end of the reset mechanism is connected to the housing 1, and the other end is connected to the striking part. The reset mechanism is used to store potential energy and transfer the potential energy to the striking part. In this embodiment, the reset mechanism includes a spring 5 arranged along the left-right direction. The right end of the spring 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 312. A spring limiting groove 14 is provided on the housing 1 corresponding to the spring 5. The spring limiting groove 14 is sleeved on the spring 5. The left end of the spring 5 is fixed to the housing 1, and the right end is fixedly connected to the striking part.

[0042] The reset mechanism is not limited to the spring 5 shown in Figures 3-4; the reset mechanism can be other structures such as a spring.

[0043] The striking part is slidably connected to the housing 1, and is used to convert the potential energy transmitted by the reset mechanism into kinetic energy and to knock off the ampoule head. In this embodiment, the striking part includes a steel ball 7, which is slidably connected to the spring limiting groove 14 and fixedly connected to the right end of the spring 5. A striking hole 12 is provided on the right side of the housing 1 corresponding to the steel ball 7. The striking hole 12 communicates with the spring limiting groove 14, and the steel ball 7 strikes the blue striking point of the ampoule through the striking hole 12.

[0044] The striking part is not limited to the steel ball 7 shown in Figures 3-4. The striking part can be a bullet-shaped structure, a cylindrical structure, etc., and can extend out of the striking hole 12 to strike the blue striking point of the ampoule.

[0045] A fixing part is provided on the right side of the housing 1 corresponding to the striking part, for fixing the ampoule bottle. In this embodiment, the fixing part includes a clamp 13, which is elastic. The front end of the clamp 13 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the rear end is provided with an opening. A guide plate 131 extending to the right and rear is provided at the opening.

[0046] The outer side of the striking part and the fixing part is covered with a storage box 2, which is used to prevent glass shards generated during the striking process from splashing out and to collect and store them.

[0047] The drive mechanism is located inside the housing 1 and is used to drive the intermittent reciprocating mechanism. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a geared motor 6. The housing of the geared motor 6 is fixed inside the housing 1. The motor shaft of the geared motor 6 and the shaft hole of the incomplete gear 32 are fixedly connected by a key.

[0048] The housing 1 also contains a battery (not shown) and wires (not shown) connecting the battery, switch 11 and motor. Pressing switch 11 connects the wires between the battery and the motor, and releasing switch 11 disconnects the wires.

[0049] The incomplete gear 32, the geared motor 6, the switch 11, etc. are all existing technologies. In addition, the wire connection relationship between the geared motor 6, the switch 11 and the battery is also existing technology and is not related to the point of this invention, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0050] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0051] First, align the ampoule with the opening of the clamp 13 and press firmly on the guide plate 131. The guide plate 131 causes the clamp 13 to deform, widening its opening and securing the ampoule within it. Because the clamp 13 has elastic deformation capabilities, it can accommodate ampoules of different sizes, thus expanding the applicability of this invention. Next, adjust the position of the ampoule so that the blue break mark on the ampoule is aligned with the striking hole 12.

[0052] Then, press switch 11, the reduction motor 6 rotates counterclockwise, the reduction motor 6 drives the incomplete gear 32 to rotate counterclockwise, the incomplete gear 32 drives the rack 31 to move to the left, due to the sliding engagement between the slider 311 at the upper end of the rack 31 and the slide groove 15, the rack 31 slides to the left along the slide groove 15. At the same time, the connecting block 312 drives the right end of the spring 5 to compress to the left, and the steel ball 7 slides in the spring limiting groove 14 along with the right end of the spring 5.

[0053] Next, when the incomplete gear 32 and rack 31 disengage, the right end of spring 5 is released. Spring 5 drives rack 31 and steel ball 7 to move to the right. Steel ball 7 strikes the blue striking point of ampoule through striking hole 12. Storage box 2 collects the glass shards and ampoule heads generated during the striking process to prevent glass shards and ampoule heads from flying out and injuring people.

[0054] The incomplete gear 32 continues to rotate and meshes with the rack 31 again, repeating the above operation.

[0055] Example 2:

[0056] As shown in Figures 5-7, in this second embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged, but the difference is that: in order to achieve continuous opening of ampoules, the fixing part includes a fixing plate 17, and a dovetail slider 171 is provided on the contact surface between the fixing plate 17 and the shell along the front-back direction. A dovetail groove is provided on the shell 1 at the part opposite to the slider. Several clamps 13 are provided on the side of the fixing plate 17 opposite to the dovetail slider 171 along the front-back direction.

[0057] Notches 21 are provided on the front and rear end faces of the storage box 2a at the positions corresponding to the fixing plate 17.
